The tour with Axis Africa Safari was good, the team was very professional, they picked me up from my hotel and drove me back once the tour was over.
The information about the costs was clear and detailed, basically everything is written in the contract. The only unexpected payment was in 5% that applies to credit card payments, which I did not know in advance, but it was small stuff.
I went to the office in person because I prefer face-to-face interactions and I kindly got a small reduction.
I chose an unusual package, as most tourists visit the park for 3days package: a few hours on arrival and a full day the next day...I preferred the 4 days one: one half day at arrival and two full days at the Game ride, because you never know what you are going to see on there, and in fact I was happy with my choice even though the park entrance only lasts 12 hours and is quite expensive.
This unusual situation meant that I was part of two different groups, the downside: in the second group, since everyone was already in the car from the day before, I ended up in the back seat which is not as comfortable as the middle or front ones.
positive side: on the second day I had the tent all to myself because my partner from the day before took a standard package and left after two nights.
The driver on the first day was very careful not to shake us too much, which we appreciated, but we saw less than the second day. The driver on the second day was driving fast and there were some jolts in the car, but this made us see more animals and move through the park faster.
The camp where I stayed is Lenchada, a little old, but resistant and welcoming. a couple of people complained that they didn't have hot water, but in my tent there was some, you just had to wait a bit. The camp food was good, according to my taste.
I would have liked to see some hunting scenes, but they didn't happen when we passed (it almost happened between a buffalo and a pack of lionesses, but the buffalo was too big and the lionesses let it pass). I was there at the end of July and I missed seeing the passage of animals between one bank of the river and the other (a group of Wildebeest and Zebra were there on the Tanzanian side, but they didn't decide to cross, after about twenty minutes we left)
On the other hand I saw so many animals, endless herds of Wildebeest, lions, lionesses, cheetahs, a Leopard, hyenas, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, zebras, vultures, Vervet monkeys, Baboons... it was truly incredible. I hope to be able to return there one day and do at least three days of Game Ride, if my body allows me
