Fantastic 4 days with the Axis Africa Safaris
We didn't have any problems at all from the beginning: when we book the Safari, until we say bye to them. Ease to communicate by email or by phone . Lenox always was there for us. Very long drive from Nairobi airport to get to Safari, but with our amazing driver Johny time gone quick. Many thanks for Johny for good driving, lost of information ... Driver with amazing personality!

I was part of a larger group that booked Migration Venture Africa for our safari adventures.
The people who are part of Migration Venture Africa were all great, as I found all Tanzanians to be. The company was very attentive to any issues or concerns, however my only request would be that they invest in newer safari vehicles. The vehicle I was in ended-up breaking down along side the road, after a day and half fidgeting with the radiator.

Excellent organisation of a 3-day Safari and 1-day Kilimanjaro walk.
With Seven Wonders, I booked a 3-day safari in Tanzania and I confirm that the whole safari was incredible and very well organized. Our guide Erick was very professional and very helpful. I booked also a 1-day Kilimanjaro walk, and this was also very well organized. My guide Joseph was very knowledgeable and very helpful during the whole day of our walk up to Mandara Hut. Congratulations to Seven Wonders and its Manager for the Excellent organization of my tours in Tanzania.

Great fun 7 day safari
We dealth with Lennox at Axis safari. Booking process was easy and straighforward. Lennox was prompt and detailed with his responses. Our driver for the trip was James. He was great fun, informative and proactive. We went for the 7 day option, 3 days in the Maasi Mara, 2 at the lakes and 2 at Amboseli. Maasi Mara was the highlight of the trip as expected. Amboseli comes in second with a lot of close encounters with elephants. We stayed at the Kibo lodge at Amboseli, we highly recommend Kibo. Axis also helped us with booking the hotel in nairobi, we stayed at After 40 which was a good little hotel.
We highly recommend Axis Safari.

Adventure is out there. Ben makes it happen.
We chose Karibu Safaris in Kenya to go on a 6 day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli and it was the best decision.
What should I say? No words could possibly describe the feeling you get when you're on safari. It's an adventure full of moments that take your breath away. I constantly felt in love with the world. The amount and range of animals we've seen, the ever changing landscapes and the colours (especially at sunrise and sunset) will just burn into your soul.
But all that wouldn't have been possible in that way if it wasn't for our amazing guide Ben. He was the best!!! He knew where to find the animals and he brought us so close to them. When we wanted him to stop for a photo he did. When we wanted to stop for coffee/beer at a lodge he did. Ben was very knowledgable and taught us a lot. He has also given us some tips like for example: when we arrived at the campsite at Amboseli National Park our first game drive was going to be at 8am. But he told us that if we get up for sunrise it's the best time to see Kilimanjaro - and honestly that was one of my best Kenya moments! Watching the sunrise, seeing Kilimanjaro changing its colours and there was a giraffe with a baby passing by, too. One hour later the clouds covered the mountain. So thank you Ben!!! :) Now that I'm in the gratitude part of the review: Thank you Ben for saving our lunch from the cheeky baboons, too!
Another thing: Traffic in Kenya is a bit crazy and I'm a very bad passenger, but I fully trusted Ben's driving skills. I didn't worry about it once and that means something! Hakuna Matata :) Plus he's got a great playlist!
I don't know what else to say as words really can't describe it. Maybe this says a lot: I'll go back to Kenya next year and book the same tour with Ben again!
Guys, don't worry, just book the thing! You won't regret it! It's an adventure you'll never forget.
There's just one danger... you're probably aware of the travel bug - once you start travelling you want to travel more and more. I think there must be a safari bug, too because I thought it's enough to do a safari once in a lifetime but even though we've seen every animal I will go back again!
Again: Thank you Ben and see you next year!

Serengeti Safari (2 night; 3 days)
Uhuru provided our group of 4 a great experience through Asilia Camps (we stayed at Sayari Camp in the northern Serengeti) and made plane travel between Zanzibar and the Serengeti seamless. Everything was on time and we had a remarkable experience seeing almost all of the animals one can see in the Serengeti.
The one major drawback about our experience was the unexpected fees. Although we had paid in full up front upon booking in May ($1,250 USD/person), Uhuru contacted us two weeks prior to our safari and demanded that we pay $1,200 USD more ($300 USD/person) as "costs had risen and the government had instituted new taxes." We were alarmed at this situation and did extensive research on new government taxes, but found that no new taxes had been levied in approximately a year. We were discouraged by the price increase but paid anyway, believing there would be no other opportunity for such a late booking. After the conclusion of our safari (back in Stone Town), we were required to pay our Uhuru-scheduled taxi shuttle driver an extra $50 USD even though Uhuru had promised that there would be no additional fees. We had a wonderful time overall, but these unexpected fees were frustrating and added a great deal of stress unnecessarily.

Amazing 10 days private Safari in Kenya
We just finished our fantastic 10 days private Safari for 2 persons in Kenya and we are really happy with our gorgeous experience.
With the support of Jacqueline, the sales manager, we designed a wonderful route through Ol Pejeta, Samburu, Aberdale, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara in a 4x4 Land Cruiser Jeep.
The selection of hotels was fabulous, with very friendly staff, a very tasty buffet with a huge variety, and clean and very comfortable rooms.
One of the best part of our trip was definitely our friendly driver/guide Sammy. We are very impressed of his knowledge and his experience finding animals. We saw all the animals we were looking for and we really enjoyed his explanation about wildlife and Kenyan way of life.
If we have the chance, we definitely will repeat! :)
