Great safari experience seeing the Big Five with our fantastic guide, Kikitu.
Not knowing what to expect going in, my girlfriend and I were pleasantly surprised by our 3-day safari tour with Axis African Safaris. We got to see the Big Five as well as a cheetah and its prey, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes etc. The accommodation outside the park was great with fine beds as well as own toilet and shower and decent food.
However, what made the tour out of the ordinary was our guide, Kikitu Douglas. Kikitu was great professionally doing a good job of locating the animals and telling interesting facts and stories about them. He obviously went the extra mile in order to give us the best possible experience. On top of this Kikitu was very energetic, talkative and funny and seemed to have a wide-spread reputation among the other guides. Furthermore, he was very understanding and helpful when my girlfriend and I were feeling sick. We can only give Kikitu our greatest recommendation.
One thing you should note is that the Masai village charged 2000 KES per person as entrance fee. Something we were not aware of. However, it was very interesting.

Great safari with lots of wildlife, expected more information about the animals
We had a great safari adventure seeing lots of animals like cheetahs, lions, elefants, giraffes, buffalos and wildebeest. Sadly not the big 5, but that doesn't change our enthusiasm about the safari and the impressive animals! We stayed at Lenchada camp, which is very good. Clean tents with your own bathroom. Staff is friendly and the cook is great! Axis Africa's service is very good with an early morning pick up from our place in Nairobi and a drop-off at lake Naivasha for a little fee. Contact with Axis is great, they reacted very fast each time and informed about our wellbeing during the trip. The only point of criticism was our driver. His driving skills on the rough road were good, but he was not very willing to give some more information or interesting facts about the animals we saw. He was also very kind to help another car stuck in the mud but let us waiting for 45 minutes after a long drive that day, and a tractor to pull out the other car already arrived.

An unforgettable week in Uganda!!
I had a wonderful time in Uganda. Everything was perfectly organized. Picking up from the airport, the lodges, our great guide Ronald and all the amazing tours, everything was perfect. It was my first trip to Africa and I was a little bit nervous, but there was no reason to be. Everything went smooth and there was no single situation where I felt unsafe or uncomfortable. All the guides were helpful, kind and responsible and explained so many things about culture, nature and society in Uganda. Seeing all the amazing animals especially the gorillas was an unforgettable eyperience.
I can fully recommend Gorilla Tours!!!!

Unforgettable Experience
Affordable Kilimanjaro created an experience that was not only unforgettable but was clear and transparent. We felt understood and informed by some of the brightest and most experienced staffs during our trip.
Collins our guide was classic. He not only provided the essentials, he went the extra mile when it came to information, story sharing and was very experienced and took great care of everyone. The Kilimanjaro Lemosho route views are amazing and we ate real food the entire trip.

Had a FABULOUS time
Had a FABULOUS time. We had a large group and Affordable Kilimanjaro made the planning delightful and chose a perfect itinerary for us.
This was a fantastic adventure from start to finish. Beautiful scenery, great company and delicious meals. What an absolute treat to have someone organize an adventure trek tour so you can sit back and relax. Other climbing tours aren't nearly as friendly and fun; this is the best I've ever been on.
My group had the best time!

17 days tour completed wonderfully without a hitch
Stephen met us a day before the tour was to start and even sent the vehicle and guide to meet us. Steve was our guide and drove us during our tour. Both of them were always available to address any queries we had. Steve was knowledgeable and accomodating whenever we wanted to stop somewhere. He was also good at spotting animals and birds. Since we were pure vegetarians, Stephen made sure we got good Indian veg food everywhere we went. All in all we had great fun and a successful tour.

They rpovide superior guides and services.
I have traveled five times with Fortes - custom safaris that were inexpensive - depending on hotels used. I have experienced at least five of their guides, each excellent. My last two safaris with them included seeing the migration, which is one of the highlights of any safari. The lions abounded, as - surprisingly - did the leopards. I could depend on them to quickly deal with any unforseen problems. I planned the last four safaris by email, and Fortes was always quick to reply and ready with any information I needed.

Fantastic safari, excellent logistics and service for a fair price
After initially contacting Discover Africa, Karl Svendsen contacted me and we started the process of getting a quote and defining an itinerary for a safari to Tanzania. Karl was extremely professional and timely in his responses and in short we had it all sorted out. He answered my questions with accuracy and even though the planning took a few months, all went smoothly.
When the time came, Karl assisted me with some last minute questions and sent me all what we needed to go (my wife, our two kids and me). Upon arrival, the guide, Seph was expecting us at the airport and from there a fantastic experience was started. All the details of the trip had been professionally handled and there were no surprises (well, there were plenty... but of the good ones!). The hotels were up to the expectation, food was delicious and the guide was very, very knowledgable and did a great job in helping with our kids (3 and 7 yrs old). We went to lake Manyara, Nogorongoro and Serengeti. Seph was very skilled in helping us find good game to watch, and doing so in a safe way. He was very well aware of the rules of each park and while always respecting them, he found the best opportunities for us to enjoy the animals of all kinds.
I can only say, this agency is a great deal: the price is very competitive and they work with you to design an experience for your budget and expectations. Next time I go to Africa I will, with no hesitation, use them again.

What a welcome to Africa
Our 1st experience with Africa was through a 5 day tour of the Namib Desert, Sossusvlei & Coastwith Blue Crane Safaris and they did not disappoint. From the outset the communication with Derek was exceptional with him responding promptly and patiently. Then after months of waiting we finally arrived and were greeted by our guide, Sammy, who was a upbeat kind of guy with amazing knowledge and who went out of his way to ensure we had the best experience. He went above & beyond when one of our group left his passport behind on our last day and arranged to have it sent from Swakopmund to Windhoek. (Thanks again Sammy!) We saw amazing sights and a wide variety of birds & animals. Would happily recommend Blue Crane to you.
