Unforgettable Safari
My friend and I booked the "5-Day Come in as Guests Leave as Family" safari with Lennox & Axis Africa Safari. Lennox was very responsive and answered my many questions timely. We joined 6 other people, for total of 8. It was a good mix.
We paid a bit extra for JEEP, and I highly suggest jeep over van (I have experienced both). The safari was a good value. Our guide was JACK. JACK was knowledgeable of the area, animals, and history. He was accommodating and flexible as needed. He also helped to obtain PCR test.
I highly recommend Axis Africa and JACK for your safari experience.

I met Ajay in Bandipur. He was very kind and professional as a trekking guide. I have been to Annapurna regions many times, and Bandipur is one of the most beautiful places.

Truly a once in a lifetime experience
All-in-all, our safari was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Robert was very helpful from the time we first reached out, to help us arrange for the perfect 5-day safari and additional activities of interest we wished to do - visiting the Masai village, taking a hot air balloon ride over the vast Masai Mara and exploring the gorge in Hell's Gate.
Upon reaching Nairobi 5 months after the planning process, Robert was continuously checking in with us and promptly arranged for transport from our hotel to the Karibu Safaris office - last arrangements were done promptly and we were good to go.
We were lucky to have an entire pop-open-roof van to ourself for the entire trip as well as an amazing driver named Edward, who made our trip extra special. He was very considerate to our requests and interests, such as showing us the best local food places (we're huge foodies and had a goal of trying as many local foods as possible). He even arranged the chefs at the hotels to prepare local dishes that were on our list, as well as set up a birthday surprise, cake and a song for my girlfriend's birthday during the safari - it was a fun experience sharing these special moments with the locals and enjoying a piece of cake together. And what's most important - he had an excellent eye for spotting animals - he'd point them out in the grasslands, and we'd actually spend a while to see and photograph animals that we would not have even noticed ourselves. We had the fortune of seeing 4 out of the big 5 - except the elusive leopard. But that is just one more reason for us to go back someday.
If you're a foodie, like good company and a good chat about the local life in Kenya - do ask for Edward to take you around this breathtaking country :)
See you again soon, Karibu Safaris, Edward and the elusive leopard! :)

Best hiking Best Company!
Me and 5 others climbed Kili in 7 days (don't recommend as its extremely strenuous) and did a 3-day safari with Climbing Kilimanjaro., We had an exceptional time and I commend every person in your organization that we dealt with. First and most important, the planning, organization, and flexibility from the main office side were impeccable. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience with you. Manassah, our high-level contact in Tanzania was such a nice guy and made us feel very comfortable with the whole experience. The hotels were great and gave us a nice break. Our guides/porters and the whole team were awesome. They catered to all of our issues with a smile and pushed us to accomplish the summit which we did….barely. Overall, it was a trip of a lifetime and very grateful that we used Climbing Kilimanjaro. 5 stars all day. If you are exploring other tour groups...I can't imagine them getting any better than this one.

Built us our dream trip!
Contacted three tour companies. E-Trio Africa was first to respond. Followed up quickly and was $10,000 cheaper than the others. I asked another tour company to get the price down & keep it under a certain amount and they couldn’t E-Trip Africa did! I respected and was thankful for the opinions and suggestions that I was given about our trip. I felt like they truly worked with us and knew how to give us the experience that we were wanting. Their relationship with Lemala hotel chain appreciated. We loved staying within the same chain of beautiful properties during our trip. While we were there the safari vehicles had tour company logos on spare tire. You will see there are endless picks of companies and hotels but just put your trust in this company like we did and you will not be disappointed. Thanks for a dream vacation. Totally telling all our friends about you. Thanks

Excellent value for money
If you are looking for at budget Safari, and don’t want to compromise the Safari-experience - Bienvendio is what you want.
We did the 6 day Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru - Amboseli tour, and had some awesome game-drives. All our needs were arranged for. The accomodation in Masai Mara and Amboseli was primitive, but good considering the budget. The hotel in Nakuru was nice.
The meals were good as well. Nothing fancy, mainly tourist-friendly lokal dishes.
Our driver Edward was very informative and made sure we saw a lot of animals (luck - which we had a lot of - is probably the main factor here though) and got really close to them.
The staff is really friendly and if you ask, they will help 100 %. An example: our Safari was taking place during UEFA’s Euro 2020, and our country was playing quaterfinals when we were in Amboseli (so no wifi, and we didn’t have lokal sim-cards). Our guide then arranged for the Camp to set up the lokal TV-Channel, so we could watch the game. This was very much appreciated!
Overall we had an awesome 6 days and would reccomend to anyone who doesn’t want to spend a fortune.

Awesome!
I went on the 6 days tour to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. It was budget but so much value for the money. We saw the Big 5 (and lions many times) and cheethas thanks to our friendly, passionate and clever guide. Thank you Edvard (hope it’s spelled correctly). Go with this company, you will not regret it.
