Amazing Experience with a very Professional Team
Very responsible with their approach. Really appreciate Dorian's effort in structuring an itinerary just the way we wanted within a limited time we had for the Garden route & Cape Town. Not only the planning by Dorian, but also the implementation of the plan by our tour guide Anthea was commendable. We were very impressed & inspired by Anthea's commitment to ensure we have a best of time during the tour & gave us a detailed background of all the notable destinations. Wish we could spend more days in South Africa :)

Great experience from start to finish!
On recommendation from a friend, we arranged our first ever safari with Benson and it was perfect! Benson was very attentive and quickly responded to all of my questions and requests. He even recommended alternative hotels for us in Arusha when he thought the one we were considering wasn't ideal. He also arranged a walking tour of Arusha for us the day we arrived which was great! Everything was seamless in our eyes. Our guide Peter was a perfect fit for us, very knowledgeable and has unbelievable eyesight!! The car was well maintained, spacious and the fridge was well stocked!
Overall the experience was beyond our expectations and I would absolutely recommend Benson to anyone looking for a safari company.

lovely trip
We made a trip to Tanzania . We visited Serengeti, Ndutu and Ngorongoro. Everything was well organized by Sfhub We had a great time thanks to our guide Cornel. He is an excellent driver, very friendly and attentive. He saw everything we saw not and gave us a lot of information. Not only about nature and the wildlife, but also about culture and the way of living in Tanzania. Thanks to him we saw the great migration and especially all the young animals were unforgettable. We can highly recommend him when planning a trip to Tanzania.

Fantastic
Our experience with PaperJet was perfect, spectacular. From the first contact, Justin Perumal was extremely solicitous, clear and detailed on all the information, including tips on other parts of our trip that had nothing to do with Safari. He did a perfect analysis of what we wanted and offered us some options, emphasizing the one that would be the best in his opinion. And he hit it right !! Our safari in Madikwe Hills was phenomenal. Our transfers from Johannesburg (round trip) were accurate! Absolutely nothing to complain about. Best wishes to Paper Jet and its employees.

Excellent operator run by a very passionate and knowledgeable local owner cum guide
I came to know about Cape Fig safari thru google search. It had received many good reviews on their camping safari offerings at Chobe. One of the important factors on why we choose Cape Fig was bcos Cape Fig was able to accommodate our flexible schedule.
We booked a 3D2N Camping Safari@Chobe a few months back and wired him the deposit to secure the booking, and subsequently the balance 2 weeks before the trip. On the actual day, Simon personally picked us from Kasane airport at 2pm and headed straight to Chobe National Park to kick start our game drive. This actually save us an unnecessary day of staying in Kasane town. If you opted for other operators, they will only begin the game drive the next morning.
Simon is an experienced guide and skilled in his job especially when it comes to spotting elusive animal like leopard. He is passionate, knowledgeable and knows every single thing that moves in the park including the plants

Incredible experience with a 3 day Safari at Masai Mara. Great value for money!
This experience and the package from Axis Safaris was so good that I don't even know where to start from.
Our guide James Gichina was incredibly friendly, knowledgable and accommodation. He always got our input for finding ways on how to personalize our itinerary to fit our group as much as possible. He knew the inside-out of the Masai Mara reserve and its animals, as he's been doing this for 10+ years. He was always full of energy and positive, and humble, and went above and beyond to find all the animals we wanted to see and to get us as close to them as possible. He definitely deserves a raise!
The company itself was very responsive, and Lennox was easy to get in touch with to plan the Safari. Two of our friends from our group had a delay, and Lennox arranged for them to be picked up last minute and connect with the rest of the group while they were on their way already. What a great way to really show commitment in making sure everyone is on the Safari tour and not missing out on this experience, even when unpredictable things happen.
There are many options to choose from, but after my own research I chose Axis and did not regret it! We looked at an $800 USD package at first from another company, and after talking to other travelers that took some of those options, I can confidently say we didn't miss out on much. The actual Safari experience is basically the same - the only thing that's different is the accommodation and food provided (both of which I was really satisfied with from our own package).
If you are on a budget, book this package and rest assured you're not missing out. We managed to see the Big 5 (plus tons of other animals) just as much as people that booked expensive packages did. Also, the 3 day package is generally enough to do most things in the reserver, but get a longer one if time permits.
I cannot recommend Axis Safaris enough, as well as our incredible guide James Gichina!

No information, no organization.
This agency is run by a person with a lack of education and will attempt to defraud you at any time. The guides / drivers are not professionals and they do not have the necessary education. The exception is in the team of cooks, who do a great job.
As a reference, I must say that we did another safari in Kenya and it was completely opposite, we were with great people and professional people.
You should avoid contracting with this agency, and if it is part of a Kenya-Tanzania combined, you should specify to the Kenyan agency that you do not hire Sandlans Safari for the part you will make in Tanzania.
