Spirit of Kenya is excellent
We booked our trip ‘off the beaten path’ with Spirit of Kenya and it is the best tour to take to see a good cross section of the country from North to South. From the dry hot north to the wet interior and the arid south. Our guide/ driver was top notch..good personality, very good driver, and super knowledgeable about just about everything! The hotels and lodges booked by Spirit of Kenya were good quality . We saw several leopards along with way more than the big 5. Our guide had a chat group going which discussed location of animals etc, but often he just found them on his own. Spirit arranged for airport pickup and were most reliable. We added a side trip to lake Naivasha, which was well worth it to get closer to animals and birds.

Very experienced, responsive and flexible to clients needs
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about this company. We started planning our safari trip earlier in 2022 and reached out to a number of different companies. Gosheni was the best in terms of pricing and what they offered. Peter was a terrific communicator. He was very accommodating and flexible with our itinerary.
From the moment we landed in Tanzania to the moment our safari trip came to an end we had the most seamless experience. I had asked Peter to arrange to have some one pick us up at the airport. Our driver, Jesse, was waiting for us as soon as we exited the terminal and took us to our private airport transport. He made us feel so comfortable and ensured we were comfortably dropped off to our rooms in the hotel.
The safari itself was incredible. Our tour guide, David, was very experienced. He had very good knowledge of wildlife and was a terrific spotter. We got to see all the wildlife we came to see and more! And we learnt alot about wildlife from him. He went above and beyond for us and we cannot thank him enough. For example, we really wanted to see a black rhino (which are limited in numbers) and on the last day he managed to spot one in the distance!
David also made sure that we got to see the wildebeest migration. The day we went to see the crossing there were a number of other groups also waiting to see this but many of them missed out. David expertly practiced patience and he eventually spotted the crossing in the distance! This was the most exciting experience and one I will never forget.
The days were long and involved ALOT of difficult driving, but David carried on always prioritising our comfort and experience. He was a very experienced guide and I am grateful we were allocated someone with his knowledge, experience and patience.
Our accommodation at each location was very beautiful, clean and comfortable. Waking up to the sounds of lions, or to elephants wandering outside our rooms was an experience I will never forget.
The number and diversity of wildlife we got to see during this trip was unbelievable. This truly was a trip of a lifetime and Gosheni made it an unforgettable experience.
The only thing I would add is we did a masaii village tour (which we requested be added to the tour). Personally this was our least favourite part of the tour, and if I do another safari I would not do it again. The experience felt forced, awkward and we felt guilted into spending money. Please note however this is NOT a criticism of the company as this is something we requested be added on.

Amazing
Masai Mara was amazing with Kudu Safaris, our driver/guide called James, was the best. He really knows the park, he took us to the best places to see animals and I think this is so important when you are looking for a agent to go. We saw the whole wild animals there.
Thank you so much/ Asante Sana/ Muchas gracias !!!!

Khalifa was kind, friendly, knowledgeable and great fun to be around for 3 days
Axis Africa Expedition and Safaris was an experience I will never forget. As soon as we arrived in Nairobi, we were welcomed in an extremely friendly manner and Khalifa took us under his wing for the whole trip. The tour was organised very well and timed to perfection. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who is interested in safaris. Khalifa and Kevin were 10/10

Friendly people showing us amazing places
Martin was with us from day one, organising everything from transportation and hospitality to activities. We were in really good hands and felt well looked after at all times. He showed us amazing places that were far from crowded tourist spots and was a great help overcoming the language barrier to the locals.

Excellent communication. Amazing Safari experience
The entire trip was simply amazing first arranging it online with Paul from Starpal. Starting from accommodating our last minute trip, to being picked from the airport very later to our Nairobi hotel.The Lodge was beautifully appointed and luxurious, the staff was attentive, warm, and welcoming every time we come from our game drive, and the food was delicious. The safari itself was incredible and once in a lifetime.Thanks to the very good planning and support, everything went really smoothly and we had a great time. The value for money is really outstanding.Cant forget to mention how our guide was the best to spot wildlife and be there the first for the best shot.4 days at masai mara was very short with this company.We highly recommend them for your best safari in kenya.
