Perfect 1st Safari Experience
We had a fantastic 1st Safari experience with Spirit of Kenya.
We started the process before Covid and of course experienced a lot of changes before having finally the chance to travel. Andre, our travel manager, supported us very nicely during the full period, with a true customer oriented mindset and a great flexibility.
Once arrived in Kenya, we really enjoyed our time with our guide, Chuma. Really knowledgeable, dedicated and friendly. Could ask for better 1st experience !

I just had a best safari in Uganda with Kenlink tours!
I undetook a tour with Kenlink tours and travel in uganda for gorilla safari, and we had drive to bwindi and queen elizabeth national park.
Keneth was our guide, with internet all the time, the van washed in time.
We have seen a lot of animals and i recomend kenlink tours for taking care of me with my family !
Thank you.

4-day AMAZING Safari
We've decided to do a 4-day Safari trip to Tanzania with only 1 month in advance, and we were very lucky to come across COLOURS AFRICA.
Tour operators: Mr. Godlistun and Mr. Hamisi were very helpful since the first minute. They gave us the best tips and recommendations for the trip according to our wishes and expectations. So we decided to do a private safari tour for the 2 of us. We also asked them to take care of transfers to/from airport, hotel night the day before/after Safari and all meals so we wouldn't have to worry about anything in Tanzania. We did a 5% downpayment via Pesapal and 95% on cash upon arrival but I guess any combination is possible. 5 STARS
Jeep: Big, clean, comfortable. 2 sets of binoculars, mini fridge, bottles of water... Also, 2 charging ports/USB available. 5 STARS
Driver: Very professional, good humour, good communication. Knew every detail of everything. AMAZING spotter, no animals escape his eagle-eyes (even better than me with binoculars). Definitely made these days superb. His name is BENJAMIN. 6 STARS.
Overall experience: Visited 3 parks in 4 days (Lake Manyara - Serengeti - Serengeti - Ngorongoro Crater). All went very smoothly, saw dozens of elephants, lions, hyppos, giraffes, warthogs, and many leopards and cheetahs, as well as all the other more common species. Only missed out on Rhinos, even though all efforts were made! Stayed in 3 different lodges (Africa Safari Lake Manyara, Serengeti Safari lodge, Ngorongoro Rhino lodge) all very good.
AMAZING experience overall
Not only we recommend doing a Safari in Tanzania, we vividly recommend COLOURS AFRICA!!
ASANTE
See you soon!

We had an unforgettable experience, thank you for everything!
Great company with an amazing service. From the airport pick-up, to the safari itself and the drop-off at the end everything was perfect. We had a great guide & driver (Thank you Danny for making the trip to special!) and Midian is also an absolute pleasure to have as an agent. We booked a 4-day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro and it was just the right amount of time to see lots of amazing animals and diverse landscapes from upclose. Thanks a lot to everyone involved for this great experience. Asante Sana!

Closeness and profesionalism.
I traveled to Tanzania in September 2021 with my girlfriend and two friends. We booked a 6 day private safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours.
First of all at the time of payment we had problems with our bank, so we asked Bartho (the president of the company) if it was possible to pay in cash and if we could do it two days before starting the safari (since didnt want to go with so much cash the days before in Arusha). Bartho had no problem and came to our hotel, where he also explained our itinerary and more practical things about Arusha.
On the first day we met Malissa and Sule, our guide and cook respectively. Regarding the food, the truth is that our expectations were easy meals as sandwiches, but Sule surprised us even in the most remote part of the Serengeti with three or four different dishes that mixed international food with a local dish. During the safari we stayed in a humble hotel (but with a swimming pool) the first and last night and the rest of the days in tents (sleeping in the middle of the Serengeti or the Ngorongoro is quite an experience).
Malissa's ability to identify animals from afar and get closer to the most optimal place to see them more closely and the knowledge of infinite data of each of the animals we saw is something to highlight. In addition, his pleasant treatment and his closeness (also that of Sule) made us feel among friends throughout the safari.
In short, we have all been delighted with the safari and I recommend to everyone who wants to live this experience, to choose Serengeti Wakanda Tours.

Wonderfull
I wrote to about 15 operators, and it took little time to choose 7 Woders, very little. First of all, the treatment received from the first mail by Evelyn. Evelyn is the manager of the company, she could write about 20 emails, she answered all of them in minutes, she always attentive to what she might need, to any question. You always fear for your money, and she told me at all times that it was not necessary for me to pay anything, to pay it when it arrived, that confidence that someone gives you who solves all your doubts and who dedicates your time to you, without rushing to a payment. He also understood perfectly that in times of Covid there can be many complications to get there.
Not only that, but when we landed in Tanzania, there she was, spending her time welcoming us and asking us how was the flight, and if we needed anything. They are very elegant details that make you enjoy your vacation, and make you forget the customer-company relationship, you are dealing with people who just arrive after 15 hours by plane, they ask you how you are.
When we finished the safari, she was there too to ask us how everything had gone and if we needed anything else. She traveled from her offices to the hotel, just to get our feed back. Only with this deal would she do it again with them.
They provide you with a hotel for the day before and after the safari, but the hotel ..... is spectacular !! Clean no, very clean, the treatment of the employees super cordial, good breakfast, in a quiet area, with a good restaurant and super cheap.
They also provide transfer to and from the airport, included in the price. The boy in the super nice taxi, the immaculate taxi.
Now the safari:
We were lucky to do it with the best possible driver: Linux. Always helpful, if you had to stop to get money or buy phone cards ... there he was, with a smile ready to help you. He knew all the corners where each animal could be, and he not only explained to you about them, but also about the trees, custom, everything. And very importantly, he never bothered any animal with the jeep, he never got closer than the respect for the animal allowed, unlike other drivers we saw. If you needed something, you didn't have to ask for it, he had already gone ahead and he was giving you the binoculars, or he was coming with some beers. No matter how much you asked him to stop, go somewhere, this or that, he NEVER stopped smiling at us. Always worried about what to do to make us even better. And ... her sense of humor about him! Not only did we meet incredible landscapes and wonderful animals, but this person left more of a mark on us almost than Serengetti himself.
In the safari you have real food, there we saw many companies at noon that distributed picnic boxes, in our case, it was always freshly cooked food, warm, the cook always arrived (breakfast, lunch and dinner) with the pans with freshly cooked food. The food is very good, breakfast with omelette, pancakes, toast, fruit, coffee, tea, and many more things. Lunch and dinner ... very tasty, but there was so much that it was difficult to finish it.
The perfect vehicle, comfortable, you could carry all the suitcases, with phone chargers, you always had a lot of water bottles, or some popcorn to hang out.
In general, one reads many reviews, I would not hesitate to criticize them to avoid a bad experience for others if they had, but honestly, out of 100 times I would repeat 110 with them: it is a super professional company, well organized, with human values hard to see today.

AMAZING
WOW. Where do I even start?! I almost don’t have the words to adequately describe how truly amazing our trip with Axis Safaris was. But I’m sure going to try because 1) We had the absolute trip of a lifetime and we can’t thank Axis enough! And 2) I want to encourage others to make their travel plans happen!
1. First of all, Lennox was wonderful from start to finish. Every detail of our trip was perfectly organized, and communication was fast. We were also celebrating my husband’s birthday while on our trip and Lennox made sure to organize extra details to make his day even more special and memorable.
International travel is stressful enough, but then you add COVID headaches and it’s even more so. But Axis made everything so easy and comfortable for us, alleviated all of our travel concerns, and made sure we had a safe and beautiful adventure!
2. Now for Jack. Our AMAZING safari guide!!! Holy cow Jack was incredible. Not only did he come with a wealth of knowledge about plants and animals (in 4 languages!!), but he grew up in the Masai community and had so much to share with us about the culture and neighboring areas. He was incredibly kind, patient, and easy going, and went the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure we had an amazing, action packaged trip.
We not only saw the Big 5 multiple times (sometimes, all on the same day!), but my husband and I also started making “little 5” lists of other animals we wanted to see, and as soon as we’d make them, Jack would check them off!! We were often the first or only safari truck near animal sightings, and at the end of the day when we would chat with other people at the lodge, they were often surprised and jealous of our sightings. Other guides (and park rangers) clearly knew and respected Jack and were often asking him for insight. Jack let us take the time we wanted with each animal, answered all our questions, and felt like traveling with a friend.
Overall, we had an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime trip and can’t recommend Axis or Jack enough. Book now. You won’t regret it!!!
