Thank you, Axis Africa Safaris, for this incredible experience! A special heartfelt thank you to our guide, Pilipili, for taking such great care of us throughout the safari. He was always attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was perfect and went smoothly. Thanks to his experience and incredible knowledge, we were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five! He was always happy to answer our questions and share fascinating insights about the animals, as well as the local people and their way of life. It was an unforgettable experience that will definitely stay in our hearts forever!+0Posted on Google![]()

3 von 5 Big Five gesehen – schönes Erlebnis, aber organisatorisch enttäuschend Die Safari war grundsätzlich ein schönes Erlebnis und wir waren mit einer kleinen Gruppe unterwegs, was sehr angenehm war. Leider entsprach die Organisation jedoch in mehreren Punkten nicht unseren Erwartungen. Die Game Drives wurden mehrfach deutlich früher beendet als geplant – trotz verbleibender Parköffnungszeiten. Am Mara River waren wir beispielsweise nur ca. 10 Minuten, in Lake Nakuru wurden geplante Fahrten ebenfalls vorzeitig beendet und wichtige Aussichtspunkte nicht angefahren. Dadurch konnten wir weder Leopard noch Nashorn sehen. Hinzu kamen lange Umwege und Wartezeiten, weil andere Teilnehmer abgeholt bzw. abgesetzt wurden. Besonders am letzten Tag war der Ablauf enttäuschend: sehr wenig Zeit für Frühstück, anschließend eine lange Fahrt, ein kurzer Spaziergang mit kaum Tieren und Hell’s Gate wurde letztlich nur vom Parkplatz aus gesehen. Der Guide war währenddessen häufig am Telefon. Auch das Essen war für uns leider ungenießbar und täglich nahezu identisch. Bei den Unterkünften gab es ebenfalls einige Probleme, insbesondere bei der ersten und dritten Unterkunft. Zudem stimmten die angegebenen Preise für die Bootsfahrt nicht und wir mussten etwa das Doppelte bezahlen. Positiv waren die Tierbeobachtungen, die kleine Gruppe, die zweite Unterkunft und dass der Guide anfangs sehr bemüht war und viel über die Tiere erzählt hat. Insgesamt war es trotz allem ein schönes Erlebnis, aber die Organisation und der Ablauf waren leider enttäuschend. Wir würden diese Safari hier nicht noch einmal buchen.+3Posted on Google![]()

Axis Africa Safaris is the premier operator in Nairobi, offering competitive pricing and exceptional services. Recently, I and a friend booked a nine-day package with Axis Africa Safaris. Our initial inquiries were promptly addressed with comprehensive information. Tabitha customised our itinerary to meet our specific requirements. The accommodation and food provided during the trip were good. Our guide, Muhammad, was exceptionally friendly and helpful. He possessed extensive knowledge of the safaris we undertook in Masai Mara, Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo East. I would definitely recommend Axis Africa Safari to my friends and family.+0Posted on Google![]()

We had an amazing three-day safari in the Masai Mara with Axis Africa Safaris and would really recommend it. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, hyenas, wildebeest, antelope and lots more. The only one of the big cats we didn’t manage to see was a leopard. One of the absolute highlights was seeing a cheetah eating its prey, which was incredible to witness. We also saw a Secretary Bird hunting, which was fascinating. We watched it stalk through the long grass before stamping on its prey with its powerful legs and feet, which is how these birds hunt snakes and other small animals on the ground. Our guide, Kelvin, was great throughout the trip. He was really informative about the animals and the Masai Mara, and was excellent at spotting wildlife and getting us into good positions to see everything. The only part we wouldn’t personally recommend was the optional Masai village visit. It costs an additional $20 per person, and we were asked for further money at several points during the visit. We found the experience a little inauthentic and quite focused on spending additional money. That said, this was an optional extra and didn’t take away from our experience with Axis Africa Safaris, which was excellent. Overall, such a memorable few days and a brilliant way to experience the Masai Mara. A particular thank you to Kelvin for being such a great guide.+6Posted on Google![]()

As someone who was experiencing Maasai Mara for the very first time, I honestly could not have asked for a better introduction to safari life! The safari itself was absolutely breathtaking - the wildlife, the scenery, the game drives, the meals and the overall experience were memories I will treasure for a long time. Everything felt well taken care of, which allowed me to simply relax, enjoy the Mara and take it all in. A very special thank you to our amazing tour guide, Mr. Andrew Mwangi, who truly made the experience unforgettable. Andrew was knowledgeable, friendly, patient and incredibly attentive throughout the entire trip. His knowledge of the wildlife, the Mara and the best spots for viewing animals was exceptional. You could genuinely see his passion for what he does, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. And can we talk about the little things that make a safari comfortable? 😂 There were sufficient bathroom breaks! This may sound small, but after spending hours on game drives, it makes a huge difference. Everything felt thoughtfully planned, and I never felt rushed or uncomfortable. Honestly, 1000/10 would recommend! If you are looking for a safari company that is professional, organised, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about your experience, I highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. Thank you, Axis Africa, for making my first safari one I will never forget! And yes… my next safari will definitely still be with Axis Africa!+3Posted on Google![]()

Choosing a safari company was honestly quite confusing. We spent a lot of time researching and contacting different operators before deciding on Axis Safaris. After the experience, I can confidently say we made the right choice. We visited Masai Mara during the peak season, so we were a little nervous about the crowds, pricing and whether everything would actually go as promised. But Axis was very professional from the beginning. The communication was clear, the arrangements were smooth, and everything felt trustworthy and well organised. But the biggest reason our safari was so good was our guide, Raymond. Raymond was exceptional. He has great leadership and people skills, and you can tell that he genuinely enjoys what he does. He wasn’t just driving us around looking for animals — he understood the Mara, knew where to look and was constantly communicating with other guides. He has good relationships with guides from other companies as well, which was a huge advantage. When there was a good sighting somewhere, information would quickly travel between the guides and Raymond knew how to get us there. That made a massive difference, especially during peak season. We got some incredible sightings and never felt like we were just following the crowd. Raymond was also extremely patient and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Our stay at Sankale was another pleasant surprise. Considering this was a relatively budget-friendly safari, the room was excellent — clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. After spending hours on game drives, having a comfortable place to come back to was definitely appreciated. For us, we somehow ended up with the perfect combination: a reasonably priced safari with Axis, an amazing guide like Raymond, and a comfortable stay at Sankale. It gave us the experience we wanted without feeling like we had to spend a fortune. There are obviously many safari operators to choose from, and we did our homework before booking. Based on our experience, Axis Safaris is a company I would happily recommend if you’re looking for something professional, reliable and reasonably priced. And if you get Raymond as your guide, consider yourself lucky! 😄 Thank you to the Axis team and especially Raymond for making our Masai Mara experience one of the highlights of our Kenya trip. 🦁❤️+5Posted on Google![]()

Our five-day Kenya safari was nothing short of memorable and went above and beyond our expectations. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, along with so much other incredible wildlife and scenery throughout the trip. A special mention must go to Mimi Kelvin, our fantastic driver and tour guide. He was brave, knowledgeable, helpful and always brought such good vibes to every day of the safari. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him, and he always made sure we were comfortable, safe and in the best possible position to see the animals. He played a huge part in making this trip so special. We would also like to thank Peter, who organised our booking. He was extremely polite, attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. He regularly checked in, made sure everything was running smoothly and was always available whenever we needed assistance. The only disappointing part of the experience was our stay at Lake Naivasha Resort. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations, and based on our experience, we would not recommend paying extra to upgrade to Option 4, as we did not feel it was worth the additional cost. Aside from this, the safari itself was absolutely incredible. Seeing the Big Five in their natural habitat was a dream come true, and the entire experience exceeded everything we had imagined. We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives. Thank you again to Mimi Kelvin and Peter for helping make it such an unforgettable adventure!+21Posted on Google![]()

Nasz przewodnik Ken (Jumbe) zawsze starał się podjechać do zwierząt tak blisko jak tylko to było możliwe i zawsze robił wszystko żebyśmy dojechali na miejsce, gdzie były zwierzęta 😁 Polecamy i na pewno wrócimy w przyszłości!+5Posted on Google![]()

We booked a 3 day safari in Masai Mara. Rita was very helpful in ensuring everything was booked in and happy to answer any questions. Khalifa was our guide - he has over two decades of experience and you can tell. He was amazing at navigating the safari terrain, was so knowledgeable about the animals, had amazing banter and was so respectful of the wildlife whilst ensuring we could get great shots of the animals. We were also fortunate to share the vehicle on our 3 days with other great guests. Feel grateful to have seen so many beautiful animals!+4Posted on Google![]()

We had an amazing experience with Axis Africa Safaris Tour Company & Travel Agency from the moment we made our inquiry until the end of our safari. The entire trip was very well organized, and the team proved to be professional, reliable, and trustworthy throughout the process. A special thanks to Tabitha from the Sales Support team, who handled our booking exceptionally well. She explained every detail of the tour clearly, answered all our questions patiently, and provided multiple package options that suited different budgets. She never pressured us into choosing a particular package and was always available whenever we needed information or had any concerns. Her professionalism, prompt communication, and dedication made the booking process completely stress-free. Our safari experience was made even more memorable by our tour guide and driver, Yasin. He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about his work. Throughout our visit to the Masai Mara National Reserve, he shared fascinating information about the wildlife, ecosystem, and local culture, making every game drive both exciting and educational. His excellent driving skills, sharp eye for spotting animals, and willingness to answer all our questions made us feel safe and ensured we had the best possible safari experience. Overall, everything was well planned, from the itinerary to the accommodations and transportation. We truly appreciated the professionalism and attention to detail shown by the entire Axis Africa Safaris team. We highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya or Tanzania. If you’re looking for a company that is organized, honest, customer-focused, and committed to creating unforgettable experiences, this is the perfect choice. Thank you, Tabitha, Yasin, and the entire team for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!+6Posted on Google![]()

Hello there traveller! Have you heard of the song, he's a jolly good fellow... well yes, Axis Safari, represented by Winnie and driven by Julius were a jolly good team for 6 wildlife photographers from Delhi India including a 78 year old except for the challenges we faced written below with proof: 1. Limited water supply: Bottles of 500 ml given to each traveller, at best 3/4 bottles a day. Mind you, the outside temperature was 38C plus in Kenya during June 2026. 2. Our jolly good driver Julius was so homely, lively and honest it was a pleasure to be with him. However, he isn't ideal for photographers who need different angles, sense of lighting and patience to wait till the best frame and composition appears. 3. The land cruiser had AC and was not used despite a 10 hour 36C 40% humidity long drive where we reached Amboseli from Nairobi after a 10 hr drive! As a result, we lost fluids, health battery and ability to enjoy the long trip and got super tired with a 78 year old. 4. The car Julius drove was solid enough to go through any terrain, but was not well built, not comfortable, not repaired well, no ac and not maintained. There were far better cars available with others in the same price. As a family, Julius and the team are super apt! But - As professional photographers this is where I would NOT call again. Thank you for reading.+2Posted on Google![]()

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely the best safari experience in Kenya! I highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris to anyone visiting the Masai Mara. The company is extremely professional, trustworthy, and offers excellent, modern vehicles. Their prices are very competitive, and the entire experience exceeded all expectations. A special thanks to our guide, Apidi, who is simply the best guide in Kenya 🇰🇪😍. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and passionate about wildlife. Thanks to his amazing skills and dedication, we were able to see all of the animals in the reserve, including the Big Five. He made our safari truly unforgettable! Many thanks also to Mariana at the booking office. She was kind, professional, and very efficient. Everything was arranged within just a few hours in a fast and seamless manner. From booking to the safari itself, everything was organized perfectly. If you are planning a trip to the Masai Mara, I strongly recommend Axis Africa Safaris and especially guide Apidi. Thank you for an amazing experience and memories that will last a lifetime!+16Posted on Google![]()

We had an amazing experience on the 4 Night/5 Day Safari trip. Our guide, Kevin, was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire trip. It was very clear he had a passion for showing people all the amazing beauties of Kenya. During game drives he was communicating extensively with other guides and rangers to get us access to the best animal sightings. He also seemed to have a strong intuition for the movements and behaviors of the animals (especially the big cats), which let him position the safari vehicle in the best spots. There were multiple times when we parked a bit away from the other vehicles only to have the cats come right up to our car. Axis safaris provided a great itinerary and were really glad we did the full 5 days as biking through hells gate was also a major highlight. If I had to change anything I would make the cost options available per night so you could splurge on a night at Lake Naivasha while also staying in more budget friendly accommodations elsewhere. Some of the days were long drives without many activities, partnering with hotels to provide more optional evening activities could also go a long way while also making sure the guides have plenty of rest. Overall this was truly an unforgettable trip with an amazing group of people and a fabulous guide additionally seeing the big 5 and all the big cats was a big plus. I would highly recommend joining an Axis tour to anyone coming to Kenya.+11Posted on Google![]()

We had an AMAZING time with Axis Africa! From the beginning, Rita was very helpful and organised, and orchestrated our Safari perfectly. Our driver Raymond was very keen to find all the animals, he is very knowledgeable and accommodated all of our requests. He always made sure we had the best spot for the pictures, we had an amazing time. Overall the experience was seamless, the recommended hotels were perfect, big shout out to Elephant Gorge Camp and Entim Camp Masai Mara, I highly recommend both! Nakuru Sopa Lounge was also very good. The biggest highlight with Axis Africa is the value for money, other companies were charging twice the price, for what I imagine to be the same experience. We had a magical time and saw A LOT of animals!+2Posted on Google![]()

Before traveling to Kenya, I conducted extensive research on safari operators. I contacted eight different companies and obtained quotations from all of them. Among those, I shortlisted three operators that offered competitive pricing and appeared to be high-volume, established providers. Since my travel dates were uncertain, I decided not to book online and instead waited until I arrived in Nairobi. According to Google Maps, Axis Africa's office was supposed to close at 6:00 PM. I arrived around 5:30 PM but found it already closed. I later learned that the office actually closes around 4:00 PM, which was a little confusing. The following morning, I visited the office and my impression changed completely. The team was professional, welcoming, and well organized. Compared with the other two operators I had shortlisted, Axis Africa stood out clearly. I met Jacqueline, who was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. She carefully explained the itinerary, showed us photos of the different camp options, answered all our questions patiently, and even coordinated with the camp to arrange halal meals for us. Throughout the process, she remained available by phone and ensured that everything went smoothly. Our driver-guide, Amush, was equally impressive. He was punctual, cheerful, and genuinely committed to giving us the best safari experience possible. Thanks to his efforts, we were able to see four of the Big Five, missing only the leopard. We were especially fortunate to spot a rhino, which is often difficult to find in Maasai Mara. Amush worked hard to locate wildlife and was always on time, something that cannot be taken for granted based on reviews of some other operators. Overall, it was a fantastic and memorable experience. I am very pleased that I chose Axis Africa Safaris over the other operators I considered. I would happily book with them again and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.+11Posted on Google![]()

Should you be wondering to yourself if Axis Africa Safaris is the company you should choose for your Safari, wonder no more. I just finished a safari with Axis Africa and I have already inquired about other tours that they offer for my next Africa trip. We choose the 7 day itenerary for Kenya and we are very happy with our trip, it was incredible. We were very lucky to have not one, but two wonderful guides. Our first guide Papa John was with us from Maasai Mara to Lakr Naivasha. In that time Papa John kept everyone on time, and orderly. Of course, we were also extremely lucky to see the big five. Papa John worked very hard to find us the big five. Every day he was working to get us the best possible animal viewing. From Amboseli back to our hotel our guide was Joseph who also worked incredibly hard to find us animals. We had one "small request" to see lions with cubs and Joseph delivered. Also, Joseph heard my mom saying how much she loved birds and he made a great effort one afternoon to point out every bird there was in Amboseli. Both Papa John and Joseph kept us safe, and made sure everything was in order. The actual safari is of course the most important part however, I have to also spend some time also commending the staff at Axis Africa Safaris particularly Jacklyne who was wonderful to work with. The booking and inquiry process was easy, it became apparent to me after reaching out to a few companies that Axis Africa Safaris was the company to select. 9 days before the safari, my mom suddenly decided to join and it was no issue to add her on, I was quite surprised. Then, our luggage didn't arrive to Nairobi with us and Jacklyne worked so hard to reunite us with our luggage. We were very happy with our experiences. We have also given a 5 star review for all of the hotels that we stayed at. If you've made it this far, the decision should be easy just choose Axis Africa Safaris for your holiday, you won't regret it.+5Posted on Google![]()

Marcus | Masai Mara From the first drive it was obvious Marcus knows the Mara like the back of his hand - the right places, the right timing, every single time. Lions — Multiple sightings across every drive. Large prides, cubs, males and females resting and roaming. The Masai Mara is cats territory and Marcus proved it over and over. Cheetah — Marcus tracked a cheetah mid-hunt and we watched it take down a gazelle right in front of us. One of the most raw and breathtaking things we have ever witnessed in nature. Rhino — The most special moment of the trip. A rhino sighting is something very few visitors ever get. Marcus made it happen. We were speechless. Elephants — Large herds moving across the savannah with that quiet, unstoppable grace. Hippos — The Mara delivered something truly unique: we watched a full fight between two adult hippos in the river, raw and thunderous, and just minutes later spotted a newborn calf sheltering against its mother on the bank. Emotional doesn't cover it. Nile Crocodiles — Massive, motionless, menacing along the Mara River. Marcus explained their behaviour with fascinating precision. We cannot recommend Marcus highly enough. Professional, passionate, and with a knowledge of this ecosystem that goes far beyond anything we expected.+3Posted on Google![]()

We had an amazing 3 night, 4 day safari with Jack in June 2026, visiting Massai Mara and Lake Nakuru. From speaking to the organisers beforehand, arranging payment in the office and everything with Jack on the safari, everything was so well organised. Communication was great at all times both before and during the safari. The roads are rough (as expected!) but the spacious jeep and Jack's excellent driving made us feel safe and comfortable throughout. We were 7 in one jeep and had plenty of space. We opted for the mid-range accomodation which honestly felt more like luxury. Food was great and the organisation was better than I have experienced anywhere, where each place was ready to show us to our lodge before we even arrived. We chose to do the optional visit to the Massai Village which was interesting, but quite eye-opening. In regards to the safari, it was an experience of a lifetime. Jack ensured we found all the big 5 plus many more, and he taught us lots about not just the animals, but also birds, plants and different types of tree. He also pointed out interesting places on the journey there. Jack clearly takes pride in what he does, and showed us the animals in a legal and ethical way, getting close but without getting in the way or blocking the paths of any of the animals. I will be recommending Axis and Jack to everyone I know!+3Posted on Google![]()

Amboseli Safari with Kelvin Waigi! Where do I even begin. Kelvin is not just a guide he is a storyteller, a tracker, and one of the most passionate people I have ever met. My partner Carmen and I came to Amboseli with high hopes, and Kelvin exceeded every single one of them. From the very first game drive, it was clear this man was on a different level. He read the land like a map animal behaviour, wind direction, distant dust clouds things we would have driven straight past. Elephants: A several numbers of herds crossing the plain with Kilimanjaro rising behind them. Lions: He spotted a lioness stalking through tall grass that we would have completely missed. We watched her and two cubs for nearly an hour. Cheetah: The highlight of the trip. A mother with three cubs resting under an acacia. Kelvin told us most visitors never see cheetah in Amboseli. We felt incredibly lucky. Buffalo, Hippos, Giraffes, Zebras, All spectacular, always perfectly positioned by Kelvin for photos. Birds, Kelvin is a brilliant birder too. He pointed out the Lilac-breasted Roller, Grey Crowned Cranes, Pelicans gliding over the swamps, a Spur-winged Goose, Blacksmith Plovers by the waterline, Marabou Storks, Superb Starlings, and Lesser Flamingos painting the lake pink by the hundreds. The only sadness was that Kelvin couldn't join us for the Masai Mara leg, we were flying and a different vehicle was arranged there. We genuinely considered changing the plan just to keep him with us. That is how good he is. Kelvin, thank you. You made our Kenya safari the most memorable trip of our lives. We will be back and will be asking for you by name. Also you speak Spanish+English! Muchas gracias Enrique & Carmen+1Posted on Google![]()

We chose Axis Africa after comparing several safari operators and reading numerous reviews. From the very beginning, Philip and later Joy were extremely helpful, answering all our questions and accommodating multiple itinerary changes as our family refined our plans. Safari Plan: 7 Days / 6 Nights covering Amboseli, Naivasha, and Masai Mara. Accommodation: Manjaro Tented Camp in Amboseli and Sopa Lodges in Naivasha and Masai Mara. Each property deserves a 5-star rating in its own way, offering excellent hospitality, comfort, and memorable experiences. One of the most important factors in any safari is the guide. Before our trip, we had read in many travel forums that the guide can make or break the entire safari experience. We were fortunate to have Yashin as our guide from Axis Africa. From the moment he picked us up in Nairobi, Yashin made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the journey. He is an excellent driver with impressive skills in navigating all types of terrain. What stood out most was his genuine care for our family, especially our children. They thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him throughout the trip. Yashin went above and beyond to help us spot as many animals as possible. His dedication, patience, and sharp eye significantly enhanced our wildlife-viewing experience. His background in bird studies was an added bonus, and he shared fascinating insights about birds, animals, trees, and the local ecosystem. Throughout the safari, he answered all our questions patiently and professionally. His knowledge, friendliness, and passion for wildlife truly elevated our experience. We are grateful to the entire Axis Africa team, especially Yashin, for creating unforgettable memories for our family. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.+8Posted on Google![]()

We booked a 4 day Masai Mara -> Nakuru trip. This was a great taster tour for first time safari-goers. Axis made it easy from start to finish.. we were given choices on lodges and other selections - We opted for a private safari tour but you can select to go in groups. Our tour guide Apidi (Kevin) made the tour so seamless for us. He was truly exceptional from start to end. He spoke to us about tailoring the itinerary to suit us and our pace, and he had such a great understanding and respect for the animals which meant we were able to see some amazing sightings - including a confrontation between hyenas and lions. His knowledge of the animals was in-depth which made it an incredible learning experience. He was very personable and answered all of our many questions! He made the tour what it was! You spend a lot of time in the truck driving around and we felt very safe with Kevin - he was very responsible and thinking of our comfort the whole time.. we really appreciated it! The Masai Mara is spectacular, and we were lucky to experience it during quieter periods with less vehicles around. We came with little expectation and left with magical memories. We chose the following optional extra activities: - Masai Village - Naivasha boat ride and walking tour Masai village: it was not to our taste. This is very much set up for tourists, and whilst the snapshot into their living was interesting, you are very much paraded around to give money or buy things. There is an entrance fee of $20 per person and you’re there for about 25-30 mins… it’s all very much a script on repeat. If you do want to see their way of life, just adjust your expectations - I would skip this and knew as soon as we walked up that this was a tourist trap. It was the least worthwhile part of the trip. Naivasha: this was 100% worth it! We saw eagles, birds and hippos on the boat ride which was a completely different experience from seeing Hippos from afar. We then had an amazing walking tour where we got so so close to giraffes and grazing animals. Nakuru: it was incredible to see white & black rhinos and the Rothschild’s giraffes. However, the rising water levels has impacted the park quite significantly. Pelicans thriving but flamingos diminishing. It’s eery to see so many dead trees and roads being taken under. Grazing animals do well here as there are less predators but I’m not sure how much longer the park will be accessible. Lodges: We stayed at the Jambo Mara & Sarova. Jambo Mara: what they done well is hire a really great chef who is able to cook from a variety of cuisines well. He is also so friendly and bubbly.. his service was flawless! The lodges themselves are flat pack from China and you can tell. They’re also worn with damaged furniture and ripped bedding. We really only slept and ate here for a couple of nights so wasn’t a big deal. Sarova: They are trying too hard and can’t deliver. The pool, gym and spa were out of use, and the food was not good. The waiter also took off with the change for our drinks and we then later got questioned about whether we had even paid at all at check out - would recommend avoiding this place. This doesn’t reflect on Axis at all, but I would just do the research and see what budget allows on the accommodation and what you want out of it. The only recommendation I would give Axis: when on long game drives, the lunches should be refrigerated. One of us got sick from eating a wrap, when these boxes are sitting in a truck for 6+ hours at this heat it’s a bacteria breeding ground. For travellers: pack some protein bars as back up! Overall: I would highly recommend Axis, great value! They were really easy to book with and so accommodating. For our next trip I would do a custom tour and spend the time in the Mara for longer and covering more areas… but this was a good starting point to see if we liked it and we would book again!+9Posted on Google![]()

A very professional team from the initial inquiry until the end of the tour. The pricing was straightforward with no hidden fees. They provided convenient hotel pickup and drop-off services, which made the experience even more comfortable. The game drive guide put in every effort to ensure guests had the best possible chance to see the animals and truly went the extra mile throughout the tour. Highly recommended tour agency!+3Posted on Google![]()

My boyfriend and I cannot say enough good things about our Safari experience with Axis! We did the 3 day 2 night to Masai Mara with tour guide Khalifa and stayed at Wild Nest acommodation, which was beautiful, clean, good food, and only 15 mins away from entrance to Masai Mara. Khalifa has 20 years of experience in the industry and it definitely showed - not only did he provide information about the animals but we got to see lots of the animals up close due to Khalifa's excellent driving abilities. He knew all the good spots and viewpoints for photos. In addition, Khalifa was an excellent driver, very reliable, and had a 4WD truck. (Note: having 4WD is recommended for driving. We never got stuck in the mud but rescued a few cars who did not have 4WD). Huge shoutout to Khalifa's guide in training, Derick, as well who provided lots of information about the animals, history, and culture and made the tour experience fun and enjoyable. We also want to thank Cynthia, our tour organizer, who helped us with booking the safari, gave a detailed itinerary, and answered all our questions promptly and thoughtfully prior to arriving in Kenya making for an easy, organized booking process! Overall, our experience with Axis Africa was 10/10. We did not have any expectations going in but it was an unforgettable trip beyond our wildest dreams and we would highly recommend!+3Posted on Google![]()

Truly, a great experience our driver Khalifa was great and was able to maneuver the wet terrain very well and get as close to see the animals. Cynthia was really helpful and organized and responded in a timely manner. And Derek was the apprentice at the side and he was a great presence to have on our trip overall I would say 100% recommend 10 out of 10.+9Posted on Google![]()

Just finished the best 4 day safari with Axis Safaris! I have previously done one safari before in Sri Lanka and saw hardly anything, so my expectations were low to be honest. I was blown away by how many animals we saw - 4 out of the big 5! We saw lions sleeping, mating and eating from a buffalo carcass. (All different lions at separate occasions!) We saw loads of elephants, 3 cheetahs, lots of warthogs, hippos, both white and black rhinos and loads more. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the accommodation was, more like glamping in the masai mara with proper beds and toilets. I loved the campfire at night. They also catered to our dietary requirements, including my vegan friend. Our driver/guide Peter Kapino was amazing, spotting animals I wouldn't have noticed and driving through some tricky spots seemingly with little effort. I spoke to someone at our campsite who they said they'd helped at least 5 cars who had got stuck in the mud in the masai mara and even had a vehicle break down. The fact we didn't get stuck once is testament to the driving skills of Peter and the great safari vehicle. Thank you Axis Safaris - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and use again next time I'm in Kenya.+4Posted on Google![]()

Fantastic 3 day Maasai tour - highlight of our trip and something we will remember all our lives. Full credit to the amazing driver Kelvin. I would urge you to specifically ask for him while booking your masaai tour with Axis. He has amazing knowledge and goes above and beyond his work duties. For sure our safari tour wouldn’t have been this good with someone else. Also credit to the company’s sales team for promptly answering all queries before the trip.+5Posted on Google![]()

From our first enquiry email to the end of the safari everything was incredible. Upon booking Rita was brilliant, she answered my hundreds of questions quickly and clearly as well as giving recommendations for things to do, she was happy to change our itinerary multiple times and give us clear and easy to following pricing, nothing seemed too much trouble. We chose to do a private safari and was lucky enough to have Rodgers as our guide, who I cannot recommend highly enough, he was absolutely fantastic! We went to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with him. At each park he was able to give us an enormous amount of information about how it all works, what’s going on and some history of Kenya which was extremely interesting. Rodgers went out of his way to ensure we saw all of the big and ugly five as well as a huge amount of other animals, he has brilliant knowledge of every animal and species and was able to answer every question we had. He was great to chat with, had a great sense of humour and made our overall safari experience absolutely incredible. Thank you so much to Rita & Rodgers for all your help and for making our safari Honeymoon a truly unforgettable experience!!+5Posted on Google![]()

Our experience with Axis Safari was excellent. From our very first contact, Tabitha was professional, responsive, and patient in answering all our questions and clearly explaining the logistics. We booked a 3-night, 4-day package, and everything ran exactly as agreed, from airport pickup to drop-off. The itinerary was followed perfectly, and there were no hiccups at any stage. Our guide, Robert Kiambati, was exceptional. He has deep knowledge of the reserve and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible safari experience and saw everything we came for. Based on our research, Axis also offered the best value for money.+2Posted on Google![]()

Excellent safari experience in Masai Mara, fabulous price quality. Tabitha was very quick and communicative to help us with the booking and Khalifa did a great job, going great lengths to make us see all animales from all perspectives. The Safari experience was exceptional and our camp (Sankale) very comfortable. Something to improve, from our perspective, would be the stops from Nairobi to the park were too long, they could be shorter or based on the interestof the travellers.+3Posted on Google![]()

I and my son (15 years old) had the most unforgettable experience with Axis Africa on our 4-day, 3-night safari through Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, with a beautiful stop at Lake Naivasha. It truly exceeded all our expectations! Thanks to our amazing guide, Jack, we were able to see every animal we could have dreamed of – from the Big Five to so many other incredible species. Jack’s expertise, passion, and deep knowledge made the journey even more special. He explained everything with such clarity and always making us feel comfortable and secure. The accommodations were simply wonderful, each one with its own charm. The food was delicious, the staff incredibly welcoming, and the tent was both super comfortable and beautifully set up, making us feel at home in the heart of nature. This safari was one of the best adventures of our lives, and we cannot thank Axis Africa and Jack enough for giving us memories we will treasure forever. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a perfect safari experience in Kenya!+15Posted on Google![]()

Accommodations were also great and better than we expected even choosing the budget ones. I think their service is GREAT for the value and definitely would choose them again. The whole trip was fantastic, we couldn’t ask for a better guide than Raymond, who is very experienced and knows the parks and animals soooo well. Extra thanks for Rita for the communication and organisation which was always fast and promt. One of my best experience even after 5 years of traveling. Thank you!+0Posted on Google![]()
Luca Puglia24 November 2025
This safari has been really amazing! The first part which concerned the inquiry of information, questions and booking was handled perfectly by Tabitha which has been always responsive, kind and professional. I asked her a lot of question and also changed my plans several time since I was booking for a group of 7 student and she has been very patient and accommodating. The first day of the safari we have been picked up from our hotel and brought to the office of Axis. From there onwards we have been taken care by Yasin, our driver and guide which has been with us for the whole Safari. As I mentioned in the title Yasin has been the perfect mix of professionalism and flexibility. In fact he always drove very carefully, giving a lot of information and answering all our questions. In the park he was the first to ask to the ranger the permission to get closer to the animals so that we could get the best spots to take pictures. On the other hand he has also been super flexible in accomodating our requests and desires. He accepted to extend our first game drive from 8 hours to 12 hours! We left at 7 and came back at 19:00. This was because he did not want to leave the park before being able to find a male lion and we found three brothers around 18 with perfect light from the sunset. So we could really not have asked for a better service. Also the second game drive in Lake Nakuru has been super nice and even if it was supposed to finish at 17, Yasin extend it till 19:00 so that we could enjoy the sunset from the lake in front of the flamingos. During the drives he also gave us a big speaker to put on music and two binoculars. Moreover he had a book with all the birds of east africa and everytime he was telling us the exact name of the bird that we were seeing so that we could look it up also in the book. Regarding the accomodations and food they have also been super nice. We chose the cheapest option but the first lodge in Masai Mara was still very comfortable even though it was not luxurious, but that's part of the experience I think. The hotel in Nakuru instead was very elegant with also a swimming pool that we could use and great food. I could keep writing a lot but then it would be a bit too long of a review so I just conclude by saying that this has been my first safari and he exceeded all my expectations thanks to the organization of Axis and especially to the guide of Yasin. Highly recommended to everyone especially considering the great ratio quality/price.+11Posted on Google![]()

I spent three days with Axis Africa Safaris, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Their communication was timely, clear, and professional, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. The service on the ground was excellent — warm, attentive, and truly committed to giving us the best experience. The atmosphere throughout the trip was calm, friendly, and beautifully immersive, allowing us to enjoy nature without feeling rushed. I also appreciated the manageable crowd size — it never felt overcrowded, which made the tour feel more personal and enjoyable. In terms of value for money, every coin felt well spent. From the quality of the tour to the personalized attention, it was evident that the team takes pride in delivering top-tier experiences. They were reliable in every way: punctual, organized, and consistent, which gave me great confidence throughout the trip. The tour itself was breathtaking. Our guide was knowledgeable and patient, and the photographer captured memories we’ll treasure forever. Every stop was well thought out, and the whole experience felt seamless and memorable. Tips for future travelers: – There are sockets in the van, so you’ll have no power issues throughout the trip. – Early mornings offer the best views and game sightings. – Trust the guides — they know the routes, timing, and hidden gems that make the tour special. Overall, I would confidently recommend Axis Africa Safaris to any traveler looking for an unforgettable and trustworthy adventure.+0Posted on Google![]()

Axis arranged everything for us and catered to our every need. His local wisdom and knowledge about the national parks and reserves was extraordinary and helpful, as it felt like a a journey with true native and local experiences. Tom’s good communication skills and English language allowed us to understand the Mara experience to its full extent. Timely arrivals and departures can be expected and assistance with every wish is taken care of.

I want to thank our safari guide Tonny— he was absolutely amazing. Friendly, talkative, and incredibly willing to go the extra mile (literally!), Tonny made our experience unforgettable. Thanks to his determination, we were lucky enough to see all the rare animals we had hoped for — something that wouldn’t have happened without him. He was committed to showing us everything possible, even if it meant spending up to 14 hours on the road. What stood out the most was his deep respect for wildlife, which was noticeably greater than that of many other guides we encountered. I truly appreciated and admired that. Thank you, Tonny, for an incredible safari experience!+5Posted on Google![]()

I booked a 5-day Safari with Axis Africa. I highly recommend the company. Our driver/guide John was putting in all the effort to show us all the treasures his country has to offer. He was outstanding, always smiling, with broad knowledge about animals, safaris, culture and Kenya in general. He hadn't played any games with us and always informed us upfront about possible restrictions or apologised if any little hiccups occurred. There were some complaints from the guests joining our jeep during the safari, but from my point of view, as a 10-year traveller, there was nothing wrong with this company or John at all. On the contrary, there was a lot to complain about the behaviour of the mentioned party or the way they approached a shared budget safari in Africa. As the company goes, I haven't had any problem dealing with them. I can tell they were honest and genuine people doing their best to accommodate our needs and fulfil our program. The program itself was also a very well-tailored, busy, but not overwhelming, covering everything to a decent depth, but not boring us a tiny bit. Communication was also excellent. At the end of our safari, I had one unfortunate event. They forgot to hand out my documents, which I stored along with my backpack in their offices. Since I flew out of Kenya the same night. I had to leave this behind, because I realised that way too late. They sent it to me to Europe with Express delivery on their expenses, which I am very grateful for. So overall, I am very satisfied with this company; they did a great job when it comes to Safari, and they also operate as a genuine and well-established business with the right morals. Thank you very much.+1Posted on Google![]()

Safe, Professional & Customer-oriented company I’m writing this review as we’re finishing our amazing 2-person private safari with Axis Africa and their guide Yasin, which took us through Maasai Mara, Nairobi national park and Amboseli. This was our first ever safari and our first visit to Kenya, and the organizers really made sure we have a wonderful time. Booking experience We wanted to have a tailor-made safari and Rita from Axis has delivered. She was super attentive, helpful with suggestions and quick to respond. We were offered a lot of options (different levels of accommodations, different dates and various extras) that would suit each possible budget. Value for money was much better compared to other vendors we’ve got in touch with. And Rita made sure that we get exactly what we want, without trying to upsell or force something on us. It was possible to pay the deposit (~30% of total, including full prepayment for flights to Maasai Mara) by either card or bank transfer, and Rita was always quick to provide the payment confirmation to make us comfortable. For the final payment it was possible to pay by cash after arrival at Axis offices, but we’ve just sent a bank transfer in advance to save our time. Of course, despite doing careful research we were then very glad to see that Axis is legit when their representative picked us up from the airport. It was also nice that we could trust Axis with our big luggage while we were on a safari. Safari experience Yasin from Axis really went above our expectations. He was exceptionally professional and devoted to the job, patient with both nature and us. While we flew from Nairobi to Maasai Mara, he drove there to make sure that we get a proper experience and not just a random hotel guide that doesn’t care. Yasin, with his friendly personality, has been the cornerstone of our safari, providing us with a feeling of safety, comfort and knowledgeable guidance even in the midst of some extremely up-close wildlife encounters. Thanks to his vast experience and an excellent connection network with other guides we were always right next to the action, driving purposefully from one wildlife encounter to the other, and managing to see the full Big Five, including an elusive leopard and big rhinos. Yasin demonstrated very deep knowledge about animals, birds and nature, providing insightful comments about all the exciting wildlife we were seeing and making us feel like in a live first-person Discovery channel documentary. Overall impression Booking a safari in Africa and picking a reliable company among many hundreds can be tough. We are very glad we’ve decided to go with Axis Africa, thanks to whom our significant investment of time and money has paid off in a truly once-in-a-lifetime adventure and memories we will cherish forever.+7Posted on Google![]()

Our trip with Axis Safari was simply perfect from start to finish. It exceeded all our expectations and made our honeymoon absolutely magical and unforgettable! From the very first contact, Lucy’s service was impeccable. She was truly an angel always patient, kind, and attentive. We had an unexpected issue with our flight and missed our connection, which forced us to change both the hotel and the start of our safari and she handled everything with such care, sweetness, and efficiency. We felt so well taken care of, even from afar. And what can we say about our guide, Khalifa? A true master of the savannah! Incredibly experienced, deeply passionate about what he does, and with an amazingly sharp eye. He spotted animals long before any other car arrived. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see the complete Big Five, always with the best views, no rush, no crowds. He always found the perfect spots and explained every detail about the wildlife around us with so much knowledge and good humor. On top of that, he was fun, relaxed, and made our safari days even more special. Every single penny we spent on this experience was worth it. The organization, the team's care, the attention to every little detail… everything made a huge difference. If you’re wondering whether to book with Axis Safari, do it without hesitation. It was one of the best decisions we made on our trip. We came back with hearts full of gratitude and memories that we’ll cherish forever.

3 napos Masai Mara szafarin vettünk részt. A cégvezető, Lennox, akivel megállapodtunk, és az irodai lányok nagyon korrektek és kedvesek voltak. - nekik jár a csillag. A túravezetőnk, James azonban egy nemtörődöm alak. Csak az abszolút kötelezőt teljesítette. Egész úton semmiről nem informált, legtöbbször még csak nem is köszönt. Padlógázzal száguldott, nagyon nehezen állt meg, hogy fotózhassunk, hiába szóltunk neki. Ha mégis megállt, nem adott annyi időt se, hogy beállítsuk a fókuszt a kamerán, hanem ment tovább. Bezzeg ha cimborával találkozott, akkor kényelmesen elidőzött beszélgetni, míg 8 vendég várt az autóban. Végig a telefonján lógott ahelyett, hogy a csoportnak mondott volna bármit a parkban látottakról. A vezetők rádión szóltak egymásnak, ha érdekes vadat láttak. Akkor minden autó odairamodott, körbefogták és nagyon közelről követték, vagy elállták az útját. Csak akkor hagytak fel ezzel az állatbántalmazással, ha parkőr közeledett. Egy pici kölykökkel teli oroszláncsalád feküdt a fűben, 1 méterre ment hozzájuk 8 autó. Jó fotókat tudtunk csinálni róluk, de ilyen áron inkább lemondtam volna erről. Életem egyik legnagyobb élménye lehetett volna, ha James nem rontja így el.+8Posted on Google![]()

Our interaction with Axis started as we started looking out for local operators for a short Kenya trip. Our time was less between as were to the children' school holidays for Christmas. The team at Axis were professionals. Axis gave us a great deal, and we had 2.5 days at Masaimara, 1 day trip at Naivasha, 1 day at Nakuru. The choice of hotels were great. During the trip we were accompanied by Moses, our guide. He took us around, and shared his knowledge on the animals, the places etc. He is a great spotter of the animals in the park. He was also a very helpful and a gentle person. In the end, the tour concluded exactly as planned and we will remember the excellent Kenyan hospitality all our lives. Would love to go back again.

We did a 3 day Masai Mara safari with them, the budget option. This agency was really amazing. We were a bit worried before booking as we were not happy with another agency prior to that (we also did a small safari), but these guys really got it figured out 10/10, the reviews don't lie. - communication was prompt and sincere always - they adapted to us as much as possible - guide (his name was Ken) was amazing, with more than 32 years experience. He really knew the park and had hidden secret spots for seeing animals, and was constantly communicating with other guiddes, making sure we got the best experience. We saw the wildebeest crossing and were one of the rare people to do so that day. His off-road skills were impressive, as we tackles some very hard terrains without any problems or a flat tire. Also some other guys were stuck in mud and many other vehicles couldn't get them out - but when Ken came, he got them out in 5 minutes like a boss. He was aso really friendly, professional, very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. - vehicle was a Land Cruiser in a mint condition, super comfortable and driving was very safe. - camp was very decent and clean with actually hot showers. Overall we really felt we got an amazing service for our money, so look no further if you want someone you can trust in this country :)+2Posted on Google![]()

To celebrate our big birthdays, my husband gave me the most wonderful surprise of my life by taking me to Kenia with my two daughters, something that I have always dreamed of doing. After investigating many companies, he chose Axis Africa Expedition Company, and it was a perfect decision. Lennox, the owner, is very professional and helpful in all situations, you will be very satisfied in all areas, hotels, food and especially with the guide. The quality of the safari is excellent, and our guide, Jack, gave our whole family the most fantastic moments during the safari. If I one day return to Kenia, I am absolutely sure that I will repeat the booking with Axis. The book and the film “Out of Africa”, thanks to everybody, is now real in my mind and in my heart. My dream came true!+1Posted on Google![]()

I don’t know where to start because the overall experience was unbelievable! The preparation of the Safari was flowless with the help of Lenox. A driver was waiting for us at the airport to bring us to our tour guide. That is where we met Jimmy, he was very welcoming and explain how the Safari will work. He is a very experienced guide and was always happy to answer our questions even if we had a lot! Thanks to his experience we manage to see plenty of animals (including big 6) with a detailed explanation on their habits. Through out the entire Safari Jimmy was of great help and always in a good mood. We could definitely see that he is passionate about was he is doing. The price of the Safari is very low compare to the quality of the experience. Please do not hesitate to contact them if you want to live the best Safari experience. Thanks again to Axis, Lenox and mostly to Jimmy!+6Posted on Google![]()

Joel, our tour guide for 3 days, was amazing. He instantaneously became part of our Christmas safari journey. The teaser Safari the first evening after getting out to the bush was great. The next day it was completely phenomenal. We saw an unprecedented 14 lions, due in part to Joel's ability to network with other drivers, with the best advice on prime locations not coming over the CB. We saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebra, hippos, wildebeasts, hundreds of migrating water buffalo, a plethora of birds, gazelle, impala, hyenas, warthogs, topi, baboons, crocodiles... He knew the great places to stop for lunch. He helped me haggle for some Safari hats on the side of the road. He thrilled our 13-year-old son with his offroading capabilities, allowing him to ride shotgun, the same mud that multiple other drivers got stuck in. On the way back, he even pulled off to allow me to grab a geocache. We could not have asked for a better experience or guide.+6Posted on Google![]()

If you love animals and would like to see them in their natural habitat, then do this Safari. Five days safari - Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha. Masai Mara is the absolute best do do when in Kenya. The safari was amazing, we saw all the animals we wanted to see very close. Our driver, Kalifa, was the best. He cared deeply about the animals and the people, giving us tones of stories that happened to him. To be honest after reading some comments, we were a bit afraid about the hotels and the food we would have during the safari, but it was actually very good. I highly recommend this Safari and ask for Kalifa if you want to have the best experience.+8Posted on Google![]()

My safari with Axis was an incredible experience! When planning my safari, Lennox answered all of my questions quickly. He helped me plan a safari within my budget, and he gave me the best price out of all the companies I talked to. My driver, Khalifa was the best! He spotted animals quickly, I was able to see the Big 5, and he was always able to navigate through the terrain so I could get take up close pictures. Both Khalifa and Lennox checked on me throughout the entire trip to make sure I was okay. I was able to see so many animals and beautiful places, and I was able to learn about the Maasai tribe. It was a once in a life time experience!!! I highly recommend Axis!+21Posted on Google![]()

Safary super Sule è la migliore guida con Pollman's che potessimo desiderare per il nostro safari in Kenya! Ha trasformato il nostro viaggio tra Taita Hills, Amboseli e Tsavo West in un'avventura indimenticabile. Sule ha un occhio incredibile per lo spotting: riesce a scovare gli animali più nascosti da distanze impossibili. Grazie alla sua profonda conoscenza della savana, ci ha regalato emozioni uniche, dalle spettacolari zebre ed elefanti rossi dello Tsavo, fino ai panorami mozzafiato dell'Amboseli con il Kilimangiaro sullo sfondo. È un guidatore esperto e prudente, sempre attento alla nostra sicurezza e al benessere degli animali. Se volete vivere il vero Mal d'Africa con una persona professionista, appassionata e dal cuore grande, scegliete Sule. Grazie di tutto, ci hai fatto innamorare del KenyaPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

8 days of safari (4 days group safari + 4 days private safari) I came across Axis because of the positive reviews I found online. After 8 days of safari together with my partner (4 days of group safari, plus 4 days of private safari), I can only confirm these positive reviews. Everything was excellent organized. Starting with the individual planning of the two safari tours, the information and transparency of the prices, the pickup of the drivers to the Axis office before the start, as well as the food places while being on the road (special places were selected by several safari companies to ensure good food at hygienic places for safari tourists). The overall communication with Peter from the sales team was very responsive. Usually I am quite skeptic when it comes to making upfront down payments to other countries. However, due to the excellent communication, at no time I was concerned that it could be any sort of fraud. The two drivers Khalifa and Mohamed did a great job of driving between the parks, spotting the wildlife, trying to get the best spots for taking photos and explaining whatever there is to know. Sufficient number of brakes were made and the cars were cleaned from the inside and outside at the end of every day. I can highly recommend going on Safari with Axis and would for sure choose this company again.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Highly professional and perfectly organized safari agency - 6 days safari Axis Safari is highly professional and well-organized agency. John Mwangi was our guide; he turned the trip we had always dreamed of into an exceptional and truly magical experience. He knows the parks inside out - including the territories of the various animals - and always does his utmost to ensure we see as much as possible. He went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout this six-day safari. It's a 10/10 experience that I highly recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great first time safari! We did an eight day safari with Axis Africa covering Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Overall our experience with Axis was great - Tabitha was very responsive from my first enquiry and was great to deal with while we tried to narrow down exactly what safari to go for. Our guide Ben was excellent - very chilled, really personable, amazing at spotting animals and finding the best place to park so we could get great pictures. Everything ran very smoothly throughout our safari and Ben was happy to make stops along the way if we needed to. I'd compared a few different companies and Axis came out the cheapest for a private safari - some of our accommodation wasn't amazing but I guess that's reflected in the price. Would highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

From the start, Axis were responsive, adaptable with dates, and clear on expectations. The up front deposit was very reasonable. There's always a worry when you book something in a new place with a new company that it might not happen as you'd hoped, but everything about the budget tour exceeded expectations. The hotel pick up went smoothly, the office staff were all lovely, and payment was easy. All of the other people on the tour were dropped off on time, so we were quickly on our way. Our guide Jumbe worked extremely hard every day to get everyone to the stops they had hoped to reach on the itinerary, and maximise chances of encountering the full range of wildlife. He balanced time to explain and observe, with packing in a huge number incredible natural sights. He was always laid back and kind to everyone even when presented with challenges. For the second part of the itinerary in Navaisha - Hell's Gate, a new guide Daniel came to meet us within minutes of being dropped off. It was a smooth handover, and spending the next day with Daniel was great - he was accomodating, engaging and knowledgeable. If anything, the budget 5d4n itinerary description undersells how great it is! All accomodation was comfortable. Even the camping was glamping, with bed frames and plumbed private bathrooms. Some unmentioned surprises like a walk and relaxed chat with David in the Maasai community in Hell's Gate gorge, were real highlights. The optional crescent island walk in Lake Navaisha was incredible, and that was also a surprise in how special it was to walk quietly and unguided (if preferred) among wildlife. Additionally, when it was time for any optional extras like this, nobody who said no was pushed to join others. It's clear that Axis chooses guides well, plans itineraries to give people value for money, and runs a very organised business.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Exceptional safari experience, made unforgettable by our knowledgeable guide, Kelvin Ngamiya. We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. From the planning and communication to the actual game drives, everything was handled professionally and reliably. A very special mention goes to our guide, Kelvin Ngamiya, who made our safari truly memorable. He is extremely knowledgeable, punctual, patient and attentive to every request. What impressed us most was his experience and tactical approach during game drives—he knew where to search, where to wait patiently and when it was time to move to another location. Thanks to his efforts, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, including both black and white rhinos. Our sightings were incredible: around 22 lions, 2 leopards, a cheetah with a kill, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, and many other animals. The highlights went even beyond the Big Five. We witnessed wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River, as well as the dramatic sight of crocodiles catching a zebra and a wildebeest during the crossing. These were truly once-in-a-lifetime moments. Kelvin also provided excellent information throughout the safari about the animals, their behaviour and the ecosystem. This added another dimension to the experience—we weren’t simply seeing wildlife; we were learning and understanding what was happening around us. The overall service from Axis was dependable, well organized and good value for the experience we received. Our requests were taken seriously, timings were maintained, and we always felt that the team was making an effort to give us the best possible experience. We came to Kenya with high expectations for the Masai Mara, and Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, together with Kelvin, made the experience even better than we had imagined. We leave Kenya with some extraordinary memories and photographs that we will treasure for years. Highly recommended, and a special thank you to Kelvin Ngamiya for making our safari such an unforgettable experience.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

There is nothing I would have changed! I highly recommend this experience. We choose Mara chui and lake nakuru lodges and we did not regret it at all! Everything was well organized: our guide, Edwin Laso, was always on time and rushed whenever he got a call for an animal so we were able to see almost all the big five on the first day! Also, he took us to washrooms at least once a day during the safari and more than that on the way to the park or back to nairobi. Also, we were never out of water inside the car! Moreover, food and rooms in the two lodges were great: hot water, cultural dances and great dinners. The whole agency has been available and flexible to any changes or anything we preferred during the booking process . I would definitely choos them again for another experience! Also, there are no extra fees apart from those well written on the program.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Excellent experience and what an amazing world I took part in a 4-day, 3-night safari through the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and it was truly a fantastic experience. Everything was perfectly organized, and we couldn’t have asked for more.

He did his best to show us the most beautiful sights and gave us fascinating explanations about the animals, their lives, and their behavior. He was also very friendly and made the whole trip even more enjoyable. The lodges where we stayed, Mara Chui and Lake Nakuru Lodge, also exceeded our expectations. They were welcoming and comfortable, with hot water and great food. I highly recommend this safari agency, especially for their great availability and flexibility in organizing the tour. They were always willing to listen to our requests and adapt the experience to our needs. Highly recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A once-in-a-lifetime trip that stays with you for a lifetime. We just spent 9 amazing days on safari with Axis Africa Safaris, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, planning the trip was an absolute breeze. We wanted a private safari tailored to our wishes, and the team made everything super easy and fast. Tabitha and her Team were wonderfully responsive, listened closely to what we wanted, and accommodated our every request before we even set off. Once on the road, everything ran just as smoothly. Our guide, Andrew, was a standout—he knows the parks inside and out, and his patience and sharp eyes helped us spot so many incredible animals up close.

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Andrew from Axia Safaris — An Experience We’ll Never Forget We booked a 9-day private safari with Axia Safaris, and from the very beginning, everything was incredibly easy and well organized. Already during the booking process, Tabitha from the office was fantastic. She responded very quickly to all our questions, suggestions, and requests for changes. Thanks to her great communication and flexibility, our entire safari was planned and finalized within a very short time. Our safari guide, Andrew, picked us up right on time and accompanied us safely throughout our entire journey. We visited the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli National Park, and Tsavo East and Tsavo West. One of the absolute highlights was our hot-air balloon flight over the Masai Mara. Seeing the incredible landscape and wildlife from above was a truly magical experience and something we will remember for a very long time. Andrew was an amazing guide. He explained everything to us in great detail, always took the time to answer our questions, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the wildlife and take photos. His knowledge, patience, and friendly personality made the experience even more special. He truly made sure that we had an unforgettable safari. When you consider everything that is included in the price, the experience is also incredibly good value for money. We were honestly impressed by how much we got to experience during these nine days. Now, we are looking forward to spending a few relaxing days in Mombasa and reflecting on this incredible adventure. A huge thank you to Andrew, Tabitha, and the entire Axia Safaris team for making this such a special and unforgettable experience. We will certainly never forget our safari with you!Posted on Google![]()

We had an amazing time with Axis Safari Company. I found them on this website and trusted them with taking care of our trip. It turned out to hit the spot. Everything was well organised. Communication with the company was quick and smooth. On the trip itself we had 2 different guides as we changed a group in the middle of the trip (organizational trick so we could attend the trip we wanted). Both Khalifa and Roger were amazing. They did their best to let us see the big 5 - which we did and even more as we saw black AND white rhino, hunting AND resting leopard as well as hunting lions. The thing I liked the most about the guides that they did not follow the other cars but chose their own way based on their experienced and knowledge. Which was described by one of the tourists as: the only way - Axis way. Both of our guides had their unique features that made this trip wonderful. The company offers variety of different levels of comfort so you can easily adjust it to your needs and expectations. We would definitely use their service again in the future. So go for it :)Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Best of the best! I spent 3 nights in the Masai Mara after my Nairobi adventure, also with Axis Africa. Patrick was my guide for my safari game drives. He was so amazing! I am a young solo traveler & had a private safari- but I felt so safe and in good hands. Patrick really knows his way round the national park and can spot animals from miles away. He took me up so close while respecting the animals and gave me the best experience. He organised packed breakfasts and lunches, set up a table in the park where it was safe and he even went to the lengths of taking me to all the elephant sightings after finding out it was my favourite animal. It was a dream come true. He always said if I’m happy, he is happy, and stopped for animals whenever I wanted to as well as checking it’s ok to keep driving. Couldn’t recommend Patrick enough! I saw the big 5 twice and so many animals.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A great 2 day safari trip with a fantastic guide The experience was great. There was 5 of us and were on the safari for 2 days. We collectively agree that the tour guide was especially good. He was kind and seemed to be enjoying seeing the animals as much as we do. He was telling us things about them and commenting on their behaviour which I found very nice. He also spotted EVERYTHING. There was more than a few cases where we wouldn't have seen an animal if it weren't for him quickly pointing it out. He was also in general warm and even helped us out by driving us to the airport so we could collect delayed baggage. The car was good as far as safari cars go. It was relatively comfortable and everything seemed well maintained. I would recommend getting two cars if there's more than 5 of you so you can stand up more comfortably without crashing into each other. That goes for any trip as all cars are similar in size and design. The lodge they booked for us was also amazing. Everything from the food to the gift shop was fantastic. Everything was very professional and the staff were very attentive. I also liked the natural soaps they provided in the rooms. The prices also seemed very reasonable. Overall a great experience I would definetly recommend to anyone that wants to go on a safari trip.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unforgettable 6-Day Kenya Safari with an Amazing Guide, Mohammad We had an amazing 6-day safari experience through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Kenya. The itinerary was very well planned and gave us the opportunity to experience different landscapes, national parks and wildlife throughout the journey. From the endless plains of Masai Mara to the beautiful scenery of Lake Nakuru and the incredible views around Amboseli, every destination had something special to offer. A very special mention has to go to our guide, Mohammad. He was professional, friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and the areas we visited. He was always attentive and did his best to make sure that everyone in the vehicle had a great experience and good opportunities to see and photograph the animals. His knowledge, positive attitude and sense of humour made the long drives enjoyable as well. What we appreciated most was that Mudi genuinely seemed passionate about his job and about showing us the beauty of Kenya. We always felt comfortable and safe with him, and he was happy to answer our questions and explain what we were seeing along the way. Six days on safari can be quite intense, with early mornings and long drives, but the experience was absolutely worth it. We returned with incredible memories, hundreds of photos and an even greater appreciation for Kenya's wildlife and nature. Thank you to the whole team, and especially to Mudi Moha, for making our Kenya safari such a memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable safari in Kenya!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

He knows the area and wildlife very well and was always able to give us interesting information about the animals and the places we visited. Sadam is also friendly, easy to talk to, and speaks very good English, so communication was always easy. He made us feel comfortable and safe throughout the whole trip.

Excellent guide Dennis We were very happy with our guide from the Axis Africa Safaris, Dennis Wmangi. Dennis is a very friendly guide, also knowledgeable, always happy to answer all our questions, while at the same time maintaining a very respectful and comfortable boundary with his guests. He was always punctual—every morning, by the time we arrived the car, he was already there, and the vehicle was spotless and well organised: drinking water and even our slippers were already placed neatly by our seats. What impressed us most was his experience and extraordinary ability to read wildlife. He could often anticipate where an animal was likely to move and position the vehicle in exactly the right place before anything happened. His eyesight was remarkable as well. On one occasion, while we were driving, he spotted a rhino on a hillside roughly 1–2 km away—something we would never have noticed ourselves. He immediately drove us there and alerted other guides so they could find it too. His driving skills were equally impressive. Whether navigating the rough, uneven tracks inside the parks or busy highways in the countryside, he always drove efficiently while keeping us safe and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our first African safari. His professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, and genuineness made the experience truly special. We would happily recommend him to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great experience We had an amazing safari experience in Kenya and we were very happy with our choice. Nicole was an excellent guide: very knowledgeable, passionate about her work, friendly and always available to meet our needs. Thanks to her experience and dedication, we were able to see all the animals we were hoping to see at the Maasai Mara, including the rhino, which was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Compared with other operators we considered, we found them to offer a good value for money. They were reliable and well organised throughout the safari, which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. The lodges where we stayed were adequate for the budget we had chosen: comfortable, clean and in line with our expectations. Overall, we would definitely recommend this safari to anyone looking for a reliable operator, a knowledgeable guide and a good balance between quality and price.

We had a great time on our safari with Axis Africa, and a big part of that was our guide, Khalifa. He was excellent throughout, really good at positioning the vehicle so we could get great photos, and well connected with other guides too, so we barely missed any sightings since he always seemed to know where the animals had been spotted. On top of all that, he was lively, humble, and just made the whole trip more fun. Booking was easy too. We worked with Tabitha, who was great at suggesting tours. All the stays were great and welcoming. One thing worth mentioning as feedback for the tour operators: the vehicle was a 7-seater arranged 2, 2, and 3 across the back. When all three back seats are taken, it gets a little uncomfortable for whoever is sitting there. Whenever an animal is spotted, only two people can really stand up and get a proper look or photo at a time, so there is not much room to move around. That means one of the three people in the back almost always has to give way in some form. For anyone booking a group safari, it's worth asking in advance whether the vehicle will be full. Since everyone in the group pays the same price, it doesn't feel entirely fair that the third person in the back seat consistently gets a lesser experience compared to the rest. Overall, though, a really enjoyable trip, and a lot of that comes down to having a guide as good as Khalifa.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing safari experience! We had an absolutely incredible safari in the Maasai Mara with Axis, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Kenya. A special thank you to our guide Kelvin Ngamia, who was fantastic from start to finish. Kelvin was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He knew the Mara so well and somehow managed to spot animals we couldn’t even see! Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and so much more. Everything was well organised by Axis, and we felt comfortable and looked after throughout the whole experience.

First and Best Safari Experience in Kenya This was our first ever safari, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Rita and the booking team were incredibly helpful, straightforward and honest. We really appreciated that our expectations were never oversold or exaggerated. We opted for the friendly budget option, but were still very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation, vehicle and overall experience. What really made our trip exceptional, however, was our tour guide Yasin. He consistently went above and beyond to put us in the right places at the right times. Of course, with nature, nothing can ever be guaranteed, and wildlife sightings are always a matter of luck. We were incredibly fortunate to experience some genuinely rare and unforgettable sightings, and a huge part of that was down to our guide’s exceptional navigational skills, experience, and connections with other staff and guides. Beyond that, Yasin's enthusiasm and knowledge were fantastic. He was able to explain not only the animals and their behaviour, but also the surrounding flora and fauna, which gave us a much deeper appreciation of everything we were seeing. Thank you for making our first safari such a memorable experience. We came away with some incredible memories and a real appreciation for the wildlife and the people who work so hard to make these experiences possible. We would happily recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An unforgettable and magical safari! We just finished our safari experience and we couldn't be more happier with the result. First of all, the Axis team—and Peter in particular—did a fantastic job putting together the itinerary, answering all our questions, and handling any issues that arose—such as adding an extra day in the Mara or booking train tickets to Mombasa in advance. Our guide, Yasin, made this experience far better than we had ever imagined; he teach us all about a wide variety of animals and looked after us like family. We were lucky enough to see the "Big Five" and witnessed one of the most magical moments imaginable—an elephant being born right before our eyes. All of this was enhanced by Yasin’s extensive knowledge and kindness, as he always prioritized our well-being and the well-being of the animals. Asante sana!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari We had such an amazing safari experience and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better tour operator or guide! Everything was organized really well from beginning to end and we always felt taken care of. The itinerary was great, the drives went smoothly and the whole experience felt very easy and stress-free for us. We were incredibly lucky and managed to see all of the Big Five! We also saw cheetahs twice, which was so special, as well as so many other beautiful animals including zebras, giraffes, hyenas, wildebeest, hippos, gazelles, antelopes, warthogs, baboons, ostriches and so many more. Every game drive felt completely different and there was always something new to see. A huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide, Kelvin Ngamia. He was honestly so much more than just a driver. He was our guide, wildlife spotter, adviser, storyteller, photographer and basically our go-to person for everything during the safari. He had so much knowledge about the animals and the parks and was always happy to answer our endless questions. He was also incredibly patient and always made an effort to get us into the best possible position to see the animals and take photos and videos. He knew when to wait, where to look and how to make every game drive exciting. We always felt safe and comfortable with him and he was such a kind and easy person to spend the long drives with. This safari was part of our honeymoon and it ended up being one of the most unforgettable experiences. Seeing so much wildlife in the Maasai Mara and Amboseli was already a dream, but having such a great guide made it even better. Highly recommend!!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Fantastic experience and our Highlight in Kenia We had Andrew Kamau as a guide and were astonished by the proffesionalism of him and Axis. He was funny, very experienced with a good English, led us to alle the big five and much more and always knew when to speed up on a "mission" and when to slow down, take a photo/washroom/lunch break to make this exhausting trip really enjoyable and memorable throughout. The diversity and amount of wildlife to be seen was way beyond what we were expecting, and we felt that Kenyans in general had really made preservation a priority for their country and are rightfully proud of the success. Vegan or vegetarian options on this tour and in Kenya in general have a way better availability than in many European countries. We were wondering before the vacation, if it could be worth it, to rent a car and do the drives ourselves, but gladly decided against it and booked this fantastic pretty much all inclusive tour. Just lean back and enjoy all the wonders on the way, you do not need to drive on Kenyan highways and through Savannah rivers, all the Hotels, entrance fees and Lunch options are prearranged for you. We also had a "special" wish granted in dropping us off on the way back to Nairobi with all our luggage near Naivasha. Communication before our trip was flawless and really helped us to get the most out of our vacation. Only thing Axis should review in their process: Tripadvisor has a field for Hotel-pickup-time that let us choose 7:30 (which would have been to late anyway considering the 8:00 start at the Headquarters that we couldnt know of). At midnight before, the driver told us he would arrive at 7:00, making it impossible for us to take our hotel breakfast or arrange a breakfast bag or something. So probably review the options given in this field or communicate changes from that plan at least half a day in advance. Thank you for the fun time and all the memories!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

We had a really amazing experience with Axis Africa Safari during our Kenya trip! 🇰🇪🦁 A special shoutout to our guide Kevin Apidi. He was extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable and honestly, such a great human being. He was always helpful, patient and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. Having a good guide makes such a difference on a safari, and Kevin definitely made our experience even more special. If we come back to Kenya again, we would definitely want Kevin to accompany us! 😊 The package was also very reasonably priced compared to the other safari options we checked. The stays included were really good, and the suggestions from the Axis Africa team throughout the trip helped us a lot in planning what places to visit and how to make the most of our time. Everything was very well organised — the game drives, stays, food and transfers were all handled smoothly and, most importantly, everything was on time. We genuinely didn’t have to worry about the logistics or face any hassle. We could just enjoy the trip while Axis Africa took care of the planning. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would definitely recommend Axis Africa Safari to anyone planning a Kenya trip. And a big thank you to Kevin for being such an amazing guide and making our safari even more memorable! ❤️ Hopefully, we’ll be back in Kenya soon! 🇰🇪🦒🦁Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Highlight of my Vacation Wir haben eine 4-tägige Safari mit Axis Safari gemacht und es war eine wunderbare Erfahrung und das Highlight des Urlaubs! Die Tour war super gut organisiert von Pick-Up über Unterkünfte bis hin zur Verpflegung. Ich persönlich bin Vegetarierin und hatte mir vorher Gedanken gemacht, ob ich (wie in anderen Urlauben) wieder nur Nudeln ohne Soße essen kann, aber diese Gedanken waren unbegründet. Sowohl in den Unterkünften, als auch unterwegs konnte ich immer lecker und relativ vielfältig vegetarisch essen. Die Tour selber wurde von dem Guide Andrew Kamau begleitet und hat extrem viel Spaß gemacht. Andrew hat uns gleich zu Beginn gesagt, dass er die Mission hat, uns so viele Tiere wie möglich zu zeigen und das hat er auch wirklich geschafft! Bei unserer Tour konnten wir alle Big5 sehen, an einige davon konnten wir recht nah ran und die Tiere eine ganze Weile beobachten. Andrew hat dabei viel erklärt und uns auch immer wieder Begriffe in Kiswahili übersetzt, sodass wir einen kleinen Sprach-Crashkurs bekommen haben. Aber auch wenn man eine Weile keine Tiere gesehen hat, hat das Off-Road fahren durch die Maasai Mara beispielsweise extrem viel Spaß gemacht. Dabei war nicht nur die Landschaft beeindruckend, sondern auch die Fahr-Skills von Andrew in teils wirklich schwierigem Gelände. Ich würde jederzeit wieder eine Tour bei Axis buchen und bin ein bisschen traurig, dass wir "nur" 4 Tage Safari gebucht haben :)Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Trusted & reliable tour operator I had planned our first Kenya trip with my son via Axis Africa Safaris and it was a smooth and trouble free experience with them. Since me and my son had different goals for Safari. I had to do wildlife photography and he needed to just watch & observe them and it all came aligned. Our Guide Mr Peter Kapino was truly amazing and patient. He has vast experience & knowledge with Birds and animals. Not to mention Mr Peter Kapino is a very good spotter for wild life. He was so quick to find camaflaged smallest birds and animals and gave us details about them. In last not to mention that he is a very good driver and in all our Safaris and long drives we felt very much safe & comfortable with him. Team Axis Africa is also very nice. Ms Cynthia and team listened to our requirements and carefully fine-tuned the whole trip. They have a very nice network so even a complex schedule is easy. I would highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris & Guide Peter Kapino for your next Kenya trip. Don't forget to have Hot air balloon ride in Masaimara to catch morning views.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

The Perfect First Safari Experience We could not have asked for a better experience for our first safari, and so much of that was down to Yasin, Rita and the Axis team. From the very beginning, Rita was incredibly helpful, honest and patient with us. She answered all our questions, talked us through the different options and made the whole process of arranging our first safari feel easy and straightforward. We really appreciated how approachable and transparent she was throughout. And then there was Yasin- our driver, guide and an absolute star! From day one, he was professional, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable- we learned so much from him throughout our Mara and Nakuru trip. Most importantly, we always felt completely safe with him, both on the road and out on safari. We also really appreciated how flexible he was, always happy to discuss the plans with us, listen to what we wanted from each day and adapt where possible. It genuinely felt like he cared about giving us the best experience he could rather than just taking us from one place to the next. Yes, we were incredibly lucky and saw the Big Five — and sooooo much more — but that is not the reason we would recommend Yasin so highly. Wildlife can never be guaranteed. What Yasin did guarantee was that every day he would put in the effort to give us the best possible safari experience. He went the extra mile again and again, and his enthusiasm, knowledge and determination made the whole trip special regardless of what animals happened to appear that day.

The Great Adventure We went to kenya in September 2026 and booked our tour with Axis Safaris Africa and our guide was Peterkapino. Me and my father really enjoyed the stay in Africa especially Masai Mara, Peterkapino was with us throughout our entire trip all the way from Nairobi to Masai Mara followed by Nakuru and Amboselli. We saw a lot of animals and were also lucky to see the great migration. Peterkapino is a really good and experienced guide with a vast knowledge of birds, animals and overall habitat of Africa, he tries his best so that you can see more and more animals. The entire 10 day trip gave us a lot of memories and experiences which we will never forget. The trip to Kenya is absolutely worth it and a friendly guide such as peterkapino acts as a icing on the cake. I hope anyone reading this takes the initiative and books the trip, it would surely be a experience of lifetimePosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great experience! We did the 4 day safari private tour in Masai Mara and Nakuru. It was an experience we will never forget! The booking process was very easy. It was overwhelming to choose from hundreds of companies, but Thabita did a great job answering all questions for us. I would write in WhatsApp and she answered within minutes which made it very easy to book. Our driver Collin was extremely knowledgeable about history, culture and animals which made the trip very interesting. We always felt safe, and he went above and beyond so we could see all the different animals and take pictures. Asante sana Collin!! Hotels were amazing too, specially recommend Nakuru Lodge. Only thing to be aware are the distances from one place to the other. I expected this to be shorter since I used Google Maps as reference. This trip felt good, but it is many hours in the car which might be tiring for some. Consider travel times can be longer because of traffic or roads, so plan some extra time.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An unforgettable safari A dream came true. The safari with Axis Africa has been really incredible and did not expect something like that. All the 4 days were well organized. A special mention to our guide, Laso. Not only has a been an excellent driver, but he allowed us to see all the big 5 and many other animals. It was wonderful. He always took care about us, paying attention, answering all our questions and providing us lots of details and curiosity about all animals. I do really would suggest and recommend Laso if you want experience an unforgettable Safari.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Esperienza eccellente Esperienza eccellente sotto tutti i punti di vista. Le nostre sistemazioni (mid-budget) ed il resort erano tutti puliti e abbiamo sempre mangiato bene. Una menzione particolare alla nostra guida Laso, sempre disponibile e super puntuale. Ha fatto di tutto pur di farci vedere da vicino tutti i big five. L’esperienza del Safari è stata bellissima, anche quella nel villaggio Masai anche se è durata troppo poco.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An unforgettable Kenyan safari experience Together with my wife, we spent four days with Axis and had an absolutely fantastic safari experience. We were picked up early from our airport hotel and drove straight to the Maasai Mara, where we checked in at PrideInn Mara. After a quick lunch, we went on our first game drive and what an experience it was! The following day, while staying at PrideInn Mara, we spent the whole day on a game drive and saw even more incredible wildlife. The next morning, we started early and drove to Lake Nakuru. A short game drive after our arrival gave us the opportunity to see rhinos and flamingos, and the Lake Nakuru Lodge was fantastic. On our fourth day, we woke up very early for our final game drive and were lucky enough to see a pair of rhinos running right in front of us. A perfect way to end the safari. Overall, the safari was an unforgettable experience. Our guide was kind and very knowledgeable about the animals and, being local, was also able to share interesting insights into Kenyan history and culture. At times, we would have appreciated a little more patience when asking questions, although we understand that driving long distances on challenging roads and dealing with the various conditions along the way can be demanding. One other point worth keeping in mind, as the distances are sometimes less obvious when looking at tour descriptions, is the amount of time spent travelling between Nairobi, the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, etc. Google Maps estimates do not always reflect the actual road conditions, traffic, and stops, so I would personally allow an additional 1–2 hours on top of the estimated driving times. Despite these minor points, we had a wonderful experience with Axis and would definitely recommend the safari. The wildlife, landscapes, and overall experience were truly amazing.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great experience I had a fantastic experience with Axis Africa Expeditions and would highly recommend them. Everything was well organized from start to finish, but what really made the safari special was our guide, Ken. Ken was excellent throughout the entire trip. He genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience and made a real effort to help us see as much wildlife as possible. He was patient, knowledgeable, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to find the animals and get us into the best positions to observe and photograph them. You could really feel that he cared about making the safari memorable for everyone, rather than simply following a standard itinerary. Thanks to his effort, we managed to see an incredible amount of wildlife and had a wonderful experience in the Maasai Mara.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An Unforgettable Safari with the Best Guide, Peter This was my second time meeting Peter Kapino, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had him as my guide again. After spending more time with him on safari, I can honestly say that he is the best guide I have met during my trip in Kenya. Peter is extremely professional, experienced, patient and knowledgeable about wildlife. He knows the area very well and always seemed to understand where the animals might appear. Thanks to his experience and effort, we managed to see almost all of the iconic animals that I had hoped to see during the safari. He never rushed us and always gave us enough time to observe the animals, enjoy the scenery and take photos. What impressed me most was how dedicated he was throughout the whole trip. He was always attentive, friendly and willing to help, and he made the long game drives enjoyable and comfortable. You can really tell that he knows and loves his work. The highlight of the entire safari came on the final day, when we were incredibly lucky to witness the wildebeest crossing the river. It was something I had really hoped to see, but I knew there was never any guarantee because wildlife is unpredictable. Being able to experience such an unforgettable moment at the very end of the trip made the safari even more special. I am extremely grateful to Peter for giving us such a memorable experience. If I come back to Kenya for another safari in the future, I would absolutely be happy to travel with him again. I highly recommend Peter Kapino and Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris to anyone who wants an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Wonderful Experience Memorable Masai Mara Our 3 days Masai Mara Safari had been incredible. And the man behind this incredible show was our guide and driver Saddam and Vooh. He made the best use of our time and his expertise to spot the big 5 besides other animals and made us feel the breathtaking Masai Mara at its best. Our trip was organized by Axis Africa Safari. I must praise this company for their well organized arrangements and our stay in Mara Chui Resort was also highly satisfactory. I will certainly recommend Axis Africa Safari and Saddam to my friends and families interested in experiencing safaries in Kenya.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Maasai Mara - Best Family Adventure Our Maasai Mara trip was truly an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that credit goes to our wonderful driver and guide, Saddam and Vooh. From the beginning, Saddam and Vooh was extremely friendly, supportive, and professional. They were especially wonderful with my 7-year-old son, making him feel comfortable and keeping him engaged throughout the journey. Their friendly nature and positive attitude made us feel like we were travelling with someone we had known for a long time. Saddam and Vooh is very knowledgeable and understands the Maasai Mara incredibly well. Saddam is also well connected with other guides in the reserve, which made a big difference during our game drives. We were extremely lucky to see lions, a group of lionesses, lion cubs, a leopard, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, and many more beautiful animals. What impressed me the most was Saddam's ability to spot wildlife and understand exactly where to take us. At times, I was genuinely amazed at how he could identify the exact location and get us there at the right moment. Thanks to his experience and efforts, I was able to capture some of the best photographs and videos of our entire trip. The driving was smooth, the journey was comfortable, and every game drive was exciting. Saddham was always patient, supportive, and willing to make the extra effort to give us the best possible experience. I must say, Saddam and Vooh were the best guides you could have for a Maasai Mara safari. Thank you Axis Africa for assigning them for our trip. They made our family trip truly special and turned it into a lifetime experience that we will always remember. Thank you, Saddam and Vooh, for making our Maasai Mara adventure so wonderful. Highly recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Axis made a dream come true it has long been a dream of my aunt to visit Kenya so we were concerned that our trip would not meet her expectations, however they were exceeded so i decided to write a review From the initial communication the planning of the safari was excellent from start to finish, with every detail carefully organised to ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience. Communication throughout the process was outstanding, and Lucy was exceptional in keeping us informed, responding promptly to questions, and providing clear, helpful guidance at every stage. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive approach gave us complete confidence in the arrangements, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable long before the safari even began. The day before the Safari began Lucy contacted me to confirm pickup time then shortly after our Driver, Yassin, contacted me to confirm and also provide his contact number should we have any concerns. On the first morning Yassin met us at the agreed time and took us to the office where we met with Lucy who explained the program for the Safari and answered any questions. Our safari experience was made truly unforgettable thanks to Yassin, whose expertise, dedication, and passion for wildlife were evident throughout the trip. From the very beginning, he demonstrated an outstanding knowledge of the parks, animal behaviour, and local environment, ensuring that every game drive was both exciting and informative. One of Yassin's most impressive achievements was his ability to locate all of the Big Five. Through his experience, contacts, and deep understanding of animal movements, we were fortunate enough to see lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo during our safari. His determination and patience were remarkable, and it was clear that he took great pride in providing the best possible wildlife viewing opportunities for the group. What truly set Yassin apart, however, was his ability to understand the needs and interests of everyone in the group. He quickly recognised that each guest had different priorities, whether that was photography, bird watching, spending more time observing particular animals, or simply enjoying the overall safari experience. He listened carefully to our preferences and adapted the itinerary accordingly, ensuring that everyone felt included and got the most from the trip. Yassin's flexibility was exceptional. Rather than rigidly following a fixed schedule, he adjusted game drive routes and timings based on wildlife sightings, weather conditions, and the group's interests. This personalised approach meant that every day felt unique and carefully tailored to maximise both wildlife encounters and guest enjoyment. His decisions consistently resulted in memorable experiences that exceeded our expectations. Yassin consistently went above and beyond to ensure that my elderly aunts were comfortable throughout the safari. He carefully coordinated with each lodge to secure accommodation that was conveniently located close to the main facilities, minimizing the amount of walking required and making it much easier for them to enjoy their stay. This level of care and consideration provided great peace of mind for the family and demonstrated Yassin's genuine commitment to delivering an exceptional and inclusive safari experience for us Throughout the safari, Yassin maintained a perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. He was always approachable, happy to answer questions, and eager to share fascinating information about the animals, ecosystems, and local culture. His enthusiasm was contagious and added tremendous value to every outing. Whether explaining animal behaviour, identifying birds, or discussing conservation efforts, he displayed an impressive depth of knowledge that enhanced our appreciation of the environment around us. Overall, Yassin exceeded every expectation we had of a safari guide. His ability to find the Big Five, combined with his willingness to adapt the itinerary to suit the group's needs and interests, made our safari an extraordinary experience. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine commitment to ensuring every guest had an unforgettable adventure were outstanding. We would highly recommend Yassin and Axis to anyone planning a safari and consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have had him as our guide. I must also mention that Axis Africa demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism throughout the safari, with every aspect of the trip carefully planned and executed to the highest standard. Their attention to safety and preparedness was particularly impressive, as the vehicles were fully equipped to handle any situation that might arise during our journey. From communication equipment and first aid supplies to essential recovery gear and well-maintained vehicles, everything was in place to ensure a safe and comfortable experience.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An Unforgettable Safari With an Exceptional Guide We had an amazing 5-day safari through Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Everything was well organized from start to finish, but what really made the trip special was our guide. He was absolutely outstanding — professional, friendly, patient and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the areas we visited. He genuinely cared about giving us the best possible experience rather than simply following an itinerary. During the game drives, he always seemed to know where to go and made a real effort to help us see as much wildlife as possible. He explained the animals, their behavior and the surroundings in a way that made the safari much more interesting. He was also a very good driver, which matters a lot when you’re spending several days and many hours on the road. What impressed me most was his attitude throughout the entire trip. He was always positive, accommodating and willing to go the extra mile for us. We never felt rushed, and he made the five days feel like an adventure with a friend rather than just a guided tour. Masai Mara was incredible, and Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru each brought something different to the experience. Overall, the trip was excellent value and created memories I will keep for a long time. I would absolutely recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, and especially our guide, Kelvin. If I return to Kenya for another safari, I would genuinely want to travel with him again. 10/10 experiencePosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Five Incredible Days and a Guide Who Made the Trip We spent five days exploring Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru with Axis Africa, and it was genuinely one of the highlights of our trip to Kenya. The safari was very well organized, communication was easy, and everything went smoothly throughout the five days. Each destination had something different to offer, but Masai Mara was definitely unforgettable. A huge part of why we enjoyed the trip so much was our guide(kelvin). He was exceptional from the first day until the last. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and, most importantly, genuinely passionate about making sure we had a great experience. He put a lot of effort into every game drive, constantly looking for wildlife and taking us to the best possible spots. His knowledge of the animals and the parks was impressive, and he was always happy to answer our questions. You could tell that he wasn’t simply doing his job — he actually wanted us to experience the best of Kenya. We also spent many hours driving together over the five days, and his personality made a huge difference. He was easygoing, funny and patient, and by the end of the safari it felt more like we had been traveling with a friend than just a tour guide. The whole experience was worth it, but our guide is what turned a very good safari into an unforgettable one. I would happily book with Axis Africa again, and if I had the choice, I would specifically ask for the same guide. Highly recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Axis Africa Safaris and Peter Kapino are the best From the very first message, Axis Africa made everything easy — quick replies, clear information, and zero pressure during booking. Once the trip started, it just got better: comfortable vehicle, punctual pickups, and a perfectly planned route through the Masai Mara. The real star, though, was our guide, Peter Kapino. His knowledge of the wildlife and the park is next level — he always seemed to know exactly where to find the animals, and explained everything with genuine passion. We spent what felt like forever watching a herd of elephants up close, one of those moments you never forget. Peter was patient, funny, and made us feel completely safe and looked after the entire time. Between the organization, the guiding, and the value for what we paid, this was hands down one of the best trips of our lives. If you’re planning a safari, book with Axis Africa and ask for Peter Kapino — you won’t regret it!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Superb experience with Axis Safari and Yasin: the best guide ever!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What an incredible few days with the best guide anyone could wish for. Yasin from Axix Safari’s was exceptional. Hugely knowledgeable and willing to impart information freely and also good fun with a super sense of humour. We got to see so much and he always instinctively knew the best spot to be in and places to go, very much at one with the wildlife. I can’t recommend Yasin enough, I stayed at Masi Sopa Lodge which was indulgent but absolutely worth it. Out of so many amazing experiences it’s really hard to narrow it down to one but Lion Cubs were definitely a huge bonus highlight. Saw 🦁🦡🐨🐖🐗🦬🐐🐆🐘🦛🐊🦒🦓 🐆and many more!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

The lodges were as magnificent as I expected, and at some you could even stay among the animals roaming freely around the rooms. But the greatest credit goes above all to the guide, Mimi Kelvin, who made this experience unique! A driver who flies across the tracks as if he invented them himself, capable of sniffing out animals even before they appear and ready to turn every request of yours into the perfect unexpected detour. Thanks to him, we saw all the Big Five and were able to capture incredible scenes that I will remember forever!! Thank youPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Trip of a lifetime!! We highly recommend! We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Axis Africa Safaris. From beginning to end they went above and beyond to give us the trip of a lifetime! Our guide, Mohammad, was absolutely exceptional. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, but he is also one of the kindest, most genuine people we have met. By the end of our safari, he felt less like our tour guide and more like a friend—one we feel incredibly lucky to have made in Kenya. Mohammad’s dedication to making sure we experienced as much as possible was unparalleled. He somehow helped us see the Big Five within our first two days in the Maasai Mara, and the incredible wildlife encounters just kept coming. We watched a cheetah hunt a gazelle in Amboseli, saw families of more than 20 elephants at a time crossing together with their babies, spotted rare black rhinos in the Maasai Mara on our first afternoon game drive, saw hyenas eat a baby giraffe feet away from us, and had unbelievably close encounters with white rhinos in Lake Nakuru. And those are just a few of the moments we’ll be talking about for years to come. Mohammad seemed to know exactly where to be and when to be there, and his excitement for every sighting made the experience even more special. We also owe a huge thank you to Tabitha at Axis. We had unexpected issues with our flights into Kenya that significantly shortened our trip and could have completely derailed our plans. Instead, Tabitha immediately jumped into action, rearranging reservations and making last-minute changes so that we could still experience everything that mattered most to us. Her flexibility, responsiveness, and willingness to make it all work took so much stress out of an already stressful situation. What could have easily turned into a disappointing trip because of circumstances completely outside of anyone’s control instead became one of the most incredible experiences of our lives—and that is entirely thanks to the care, effort, and dedication of Mohammad, Tabitha, and the Axis team. If you are considering a safari in Kenya, book with Axis—and if you have the opportunity we could not recommend Mohammad more!! We cannot thank Mohammad and Tabitha enough for giving us memories we will cherish forever. Truly the trip of a lifetime!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Absolutely incredible experience, company, and guide! We had an absolutely incredible experience with Axis Africa Safaris! We booked a custom 5-day private budget safari with slightly upgraded mid-range accommodations in the Maasai Mara, which allowed us to visit the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli—and it was an absolutely amazing value for everything that was included. All of our accommodations and meals were taken care of, we had warm showers every night, the food was great, and the staff everywhere we stayed were incredibly welcoming. If you’re looking for a safari that gives you an authentic experience at an incredible price without sacrificing comfort, this was the perfect balance. The absolute highlight, though, was our guide, Mohammad. He was exceptional—knowledgeable, kind, patient, and incredibly dedicated to making sure we saw as much wildlife as possible. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five within our first two days, along with some truly once-in-a-lifetime moments including a cheetah hunting a gazelle, multiple families of elephants crossings, rare black rhinos, and a wildebeest river crossing. For a private safari covering three incredible parks in only five days, we could not believe how much we were able to experience.

Unforgettable 6-day private safari with the amazing Jumbe We had an absolutely unforgettable 6-day, 5-night personalised safari with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, visiting Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. Everything was very well organised from start to finish, and the itinerary was perfectly adapted to what we wanted to see and experience. Each place was different and special, and the combination of Naivasha, Nakuru and the Masai Mara made for a fantastic safari. Our guide, Jumbe, was exceptional. He was extremely friendly, helpful, caring and attentive throughout the whole trip. He is also a very safe and experienced driver, which made us feel completely comfortable during the long drives and game drives. Most importantly, Jumbe has an incredible eye for wildlife and clearly knows the parks and animal behaviour extremely well. Thanks to him, we had amazing sightings throughout the trip. We saw the Big Five and the Ugly Five, and in just four days of game drives we saw 22 lions, including two cubs, two leopards and even black rhinos. Jumbe was always patient and enthusiastic and made a real effort to give us the best possible experience. He never rushed us and always tried to position the vehicle so that we could enjoy the animals and take great photos. The whole safari exceeded our expectations. Excellent organisation, service and value for money, and an outstanding guide who made the experience even more special. We would absolutely recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, and especially Jumbe. If we return to Kenya for another safari, we would not hesitate to travel with them again.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Excellent We had an amazing safari experience with Axis Africa, and a part of what made the trip so special was our tour guide, Charles. From the beginning, Charles was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. His knowledge of the wildlife, nature, and local surroundings made the safari even more fascinating. He was also patient and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience, especially when it came to spotting and getting great views of the animals. Everything was organized, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire safari. Charles truly made us feel comfortable and turned the trip into a memorable adventure. Thank you, Axis Africa and Charles, for a great safari experience! 🦁🐘🦒❤️Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

If you go to Kenya, Jumbe is your guide! 6 days, 5 nights, Nakuro, Naivasha, Maasai mara. It was all perfectly organized, the car was safe and Jumbe is a very careful driver, both in the city as in the road. Off road Jumbe was driving carefully and condidently but not hesitating to be fast when an animal was to be seen. Jumbe knew more aboit nature than any guide I have ever had. Names of animals, behaviour, etc. You can ask him anything and he knows it, its impressive. And you can feel his passion for nature. Also regading our comfort Jumbe took care of us and was always available to make any wish come true. Patient and with a smile, relaxed and happy, Jumbe is the perfect guide to fall in love with Africa.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

SAFARI We went on safari at the end of August, and it was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! Everything was planned and organised incredibly well, and the staff were so welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay. The hospitality was exceptional, and there was a fantastic variety of delicious food served throughout our trip. A special mention has to go to our amazing tour guide, **Mimi Kelvin**, who truly made our safari experience unforgettable. From the very beginning, Mimi was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and patient. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, and you could really see how much he cared about making sure we had the best possible experience. Mimi went above and beyond to make the most of every moment of our safari. He was always attentive to what we wanted to see and made sure we had the best opportunities to see the wildlife. He was also very patient and never made us feel rushed, taking the time to explain everything to us and answer all of our questions. What really stood out was how dedicated he was throughout the entire experience. He made sure we were comfortable, looked after us so well, and genuinely wanted us to enjoy every part of the trip. His knowledge, kindness, humour, and professionalism made such a difference. We learned so much from him, and he made the experience feel personal rather than just like a standard tour. Honestly, without Mimi, our safari would not have been anywhere near as special. He played such an important part in creating memories that we will remember for a very long time. We are incredibly grateful for all his hard work, patience, and effort in making our trip so enjoyable. A huge thank you to Mimi Kelvin and the entire team for an incredible safari experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great safari and tour company This was a great safari tour, excellent value, Walter our driver and guide was responsible and knowledgeable on the safari and we saw some amazing animals. Maureen at Axis was very helpful and communicative and helped me join with a fairly last minute booking. I stayed at flair camp which was I was happy with. Masai village (separate from this tour) was an interesting and definitely worthwhile optional add on but just be mindful once there the villagers will try to get you to buy things beyond the entrance fee (I felt put on the spot) but I still think it’s worth the experience.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Choose Axis Africa Safaris for excellent experience! Let us start by praising Peter for excellent communication & professionalism from the very beginning! Secondly, we are really grateful to be acommodated to full extent after our unplanned flight change took place, where agency really covered us well. Our tour guide was Richard, and we enjoyed experience so much that we forgot we skipped one full day. He is, in particular, very knowledgable about Masai Mara where we saw ALL of big five. What we particularly appreciated is him being so skilled and putting an effort to find animals, with highlight of seeing black rhino, great communication, keeping us safe, and being punctual! He is great driver, positions vehicle so well and seems respected among other guides and rangers. We also visited Amboseli with him, after lake Naivasha and crossing Nairobi. We felt respected, heard and we carry wonderful memories. What we would particularly like to highlight is choice of places to stay, they were clean, in great location, with good food, warm water, charging stations and kind staff. After five days, we can only thank Axis Africa Safaris for making this experience memorable and unique! 😊Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Bellissimo Safari!! Bellissimo safari! Ho trascorso 7 giorni con la guida/autista Raymond nei parchi Maasai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru e Amboseli. Il safari è stato spettacolare, meglio del previsto, abbiamo visto tutti i 5 Big Five e tantissimi altri animali, oltre ai paesaggi che sono mozzafiato. Consiglio Raymond che in ogni occasione si lanciava per farci vedere il meglio possibile gli animali. Ottimi tutti gli alloggi, pulitissimi e veramente molto belli, fantastico il campo nell'Amboseli con vista Kilimanjaro. Molto belli gli hotel a Nakuru e Naivasha con anche la piscina. Molto buono anche il cibo durante tutto il safari. Consiglio vivamente un safari con l'agenzia Axis Africa Safaris.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

9 day safari Ol Pejeta/ Nakuru/ Masai Mara and Naivasha Kevin Apidi was an excellent Guide on our 9 day safari to Ol Pejeta/ Nakuru/ Masai Mara and Naivasha. Kevin is very knowledgeable about the wildlife and birds and patiently answered all our questions. He was always on time and took good care of us. I would highly recommend him. We were also pleased with our accommodation which was mostly Sopa lodges plus Serena Sweetwaters. There is a lot of driving between parks but we enjoyed watching the world go by along the way. My only caveat would be the office team and the need to carefully check what is included in your itinerary. The day before we left the UK, after I had paid our balance, Winnie Juma emailed to say that our balloon safari was actually an optional extra at additional cost and not included as we had agreed on booking 8 months earlier. I had to point out that the balloon trip had been on the itinerary as included all along but this late issue was unhelpful and concerning. The safari itself was wonderful, the vehicle very comfortable and the whole experience a once in a lifetime treat. Thank you, Kevin Apidi!Posted on Google![]()

Excellent experience The Axis Africa agency is truly well-organized and offers excellent service regarding transport, lodges, and food. We traveled with Kelvin Ngamia during our four-day safari and had a wonderful experience. He is a kind, young man who allowed us to fully enjoy the park landscapes while driving his Jeep skillfully, respecting nature and the wildlife, and explaining the wonders of the parks to us. He was always ready to help and accompany us, never watching the clock. We wholeheartedly recommend this agency and their driver.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unforgettable Safari experience with Axis Safari and Peter Kapino Peter Kapino and the team at Axis Africa Safaris delivered an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Throughout our entire trip, Peter Kapino was absolute magic. He is the ideal guide—hilarious, deeply knowledgeable, incredibly gracious, and fully professional every single step of the way. His expert wildlife tracking skills and deep understanding of animal behavior meant zero wasted time in the park, allowing us to maximize every single game drive to tick off all of the Big Five and even track down the full set of the Ugly Five. Beyond his incredible eye for spotting wildlife, Peter's warm personality and great sense of humor kept every drive lighthearted and fun, while his top-tier professionalism ensured smooth logistics, punctual departures, and complete peace of mind throughout our journey. If you are planning a safari with Axis Africa Safaris, do yourself a favor and request Peter Kapino—truly cannot recommend him highly enough!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Viaggio spettacolare Abbiamo appena concluso un tour safari di 8 giorni in Kenya ed è stato semplicemente perfetto dall'inizio alla fine: un viaggio fantastico che ha superato qualsiasi nostra aspettativa! Fin dai primi contatti con Tabitha e per tutto l'itinerario, l'organizzazione di Axis Africa Safaris è stata impeccabile. Il percorso toccava tappe incredibili: dall'affascinante savana e fauna del Masai Mara, ai meravigliosi fenicotteri e rinoceronte del Lago Nakuru, fino ai paesaggi unici del Lago Naivasha e l'avventura all'Hell's Gate National Park. Una biciclettata libera nel parco per vedere anche una spettacolare gola. Concludere poi con la vista mozzafiato del Kilimangiaro all'Amboseli con i suoi elefanti che fermano il tempo e la terra rossa dello Tsavo East hanno reso questa spedizione completa e indimenticabile. Vedere i Big Five nel loro habitat naturale e i tramonti sulla savana è un'emozione che ti resta nel cuore, cosi come per i Big Ugly. :-) Un grazie speciale di cuore va alla nostra guida, Ahmed Mohamed: semplicemente eccezionale! Ahmed ha fatto davvero la differenza. Oltre ad essere una guida impeccabile su ogni terreno, ha mostrato una conoscenza profonda della fauna e della cultura locale, nonchè un occhio incredibile nel farci fare avvistamenti straordinari sempre nei momenti giusti e negli stop migliori. A parte il ruolo di guida, Ahmed è entrato a far parte della nostra famiglia, persona discreta, elegante e distinta, che sa trasmettere cuore e protezione. Nel momento dei saluti a Watamu, nostra destinazione finale, ci siamo ritrovati tutti a piangere. Già ci manca. Tutti i lodge e i campi tendati selezionati sono stati fantastici, con un'ottima accoglienza, cibo delizioso e uno staff sempre sorridente e premuroso. Possiamo con tutta serenità consigliare un safari in Kenya, affidandosi ad Axis Africa Safaris chiedendo a Tabitha per la parte organizzativa e assolutamente Ahmed Mohamed come guida. Un'avventura autentica e curata nei minimi dettagli, dall'aspetto umano arricchente e dalle emozioni profonde e indelebili. Asante sana! Ahmed ti porteremo nel cuore !! Kenya for ever!!!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Excelente 2 days os safari It was an incredible experience from start to finish! Our guide, Kelvin, did everything possible to make sure we could see as many animals as possible. He was kind, funny and very knowledgeable, and he shared lots of interesting facts and curiosities about the animals throughout the safari. After each adventure, we arrived at beautiful, safe and comfortable places to rest, with delicious dinners and great breakfasts. They also provided us with bottled water constantly and took care of absolutely everything, so we could simply relax and enjoy the experience. I 100% recommend this company, and especially our guide KELVIN! He made the experience even more special. Thank you so much, Kelvin! 🐘🦁❤️Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Amazing safari experience We came to know about Axis Safari through a friend. It has been an amazing safari experience. The safari went without a hitch because of the meticulousness and professionalism of Axis. They took care of everything for us and held our hand through the entire safari. Tabitha was always ready to answer our questions. She helped us with everything, booking a taxi to and from the airport. Once our tour guide, Jumbe, came to pick us up at the hotel, we were in great hands. Jumbe was punctual, dependable and very knowledgeable. He made sure we saw maximum wildlife with minimum fuss. Whenever there was a wildlife sighting, magically we were there to see it.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Excellent Safari Experience with a Fantastic Team! We had an absolutely wonderful four days on safari in the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Kelvin Ngamia (just to clarify, as Kelvin seems to be quite a common name! 😊). My colleague and I joined a group safari, and we were so lucky to make some great friends along the way—including Kelvin! I honestly think we were one of the luckiest groups, as we managed to see not only the Big Five, but also cheetahs and leopards 🐆 We even witnessed a leopard hunting a serval cat—it was absolutely magnificent! At Lake Nakuru, we also saw a group of white rhinos and hundreds of flamingos 🦩 A huge part of this amazing experience was thanks to our fantastic guide, Kelvin. He was caring, passionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient. He drove safely, always made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves, and took the time to explain what we were seeing and answer all our questions. And beyond that, he was simply great company—we made so many jokes and laughed throughout the trip! I absolutely loved the experience and would happily do it all over again. I really hope to come back soon—and hopefully have another adventure with the same group! And of course, Axis was also great. Tabitha, who handled my booking, was very responsive, clear, and helpful. Our communication was smooth from start to finish, and the deal was excellent. She was just as lovely when we met in person too. Thank you, Axis and especially Kelvin, for such a memorable safari! 🦁🐆🦩Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

We had an excellent 7-day safari experience with Axis Safaris, and overall, it was a memorable trip. A special mention to our guide, Captain Khalifa, who was exceptional throughout the entire journey. We spent all 7 days travelling with him in his vehicle, and his knowledge of wildlife, the parks, and animal behaviour was impressive. More importantly, he is genuinely passionate about wildlife, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Thanks to Khalifa’s experience and dedication, we had some incredible sightings. We saw the Big Five, cheetahs, rhinos, and many other animals. One of the highlights was witnessing a cheetah take down a gazelle—an unforgettable experience. Khalifa also made a real effort to position us in the best spots and, whenever possible, ensured that we had a great view without being surrounded by other vehicles. Our trip was also well planned by Tabitha, who was helpful and responsive throughout the planning process. The hotels were decent and comfortable enough for a safari trip. The only area that could be improved was the packed lunches, which were somewhat disappointing and lacked sufficient protein, especially considering the long days on safari. Overall, we had a very good experience with Axis Safaris and would happily recommend them, particularly because of the excellent service and dedication of Tabitha and Captain Khalifa. Khalifa truly made our 7-day safari special.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An unforgettable seven-day safari with Axis Africa — thank you, Mohamed I booked the seven-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli joining safari with Axis Africa after reading the glowing online reviews, and the company fully lived up to them. From my initial enquiries to the final day of the trip, everything was smooth and well organised. Tabitha in the office answered all my questions before booking, and her communication was always clear and responsive. Our group had the pleasure of having Mohamed as our guide, and he was truly fantastic. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the whole trip unforgettable. We saw the Big Five, and during the long drives he not only answered our questions but also told us about life in Kenya, local traditions, the people and family life. These conversations made the experience feel much more personal. His communication throughout the safari was excellent: we always knew where we were going, what we would be doing and what time we would be picked up the next day. From day one, he tried to remember everyone's names, which was a lovely touch. He also warned us before moving the car to get a different view of the animals, helping everyone avoid injury. These may seem like small details, but they showed how much he cared about giving guests the best possible experience. As a solo female traveller, I felt very safe and well looked after throughout the trip. It is also worth noting that, with a joining safari, the group can change after the third or fourth day. My fellow travellers and I had not realised this beforehand. For the final part of my tour in Amboseli, I joined another group, with John as our guide. He was also knowledgeable and brought us back to Nairobi safe and sound. I had an amazing time in Kenya. I met so many lovely people and saw countless incredible animals. Seeing them in their natural habitat for the very first time was truly special, and the sunset in the Masai Mara was unforgettable. If you are thinking about doing a safari, I would wholeheartedly recommend booking with Axis Africa — you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Axis Africa and Mohamed.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

My bucket list experience. I booked directly with Axis Africa and dealing with Tabitha went very smoothly. Queries answered promptly and I felt confident about the upcoming trip. 7 pax on our trip so we all had a window seat in our pop up roof vehicle. Our guide, Khalifa (Captain) was a very kind person as evidenced by his ability to interact with the travellers and the many locals we encountered. The roads are dusty and bumpy and a daily change of clothing and a buff are recommended. Khalifa sourced the Big Five for us over the course of our trip - seemingly out of nowhere! His ability to navigate the plains of the Masai Mara are second to none although as he has been a guide for more than 20 years he has a wealth of experience on which to draw. We were the only vehicle at some special sightings as he seemed to magic them out from nowhere. Accommodation and food were more than adequate. An abundance of fresh veg and fruit were on offer as well as chicken and meat, rice, potatoes etc. Basically evenings were eating and then off to our rooms to relax. Days are long with early morning starts so party time is limited. I would definitely recommend our amazing guide Khalifa and the tour company to anyone who would like a fairly quick visit to Masai Mara.Posted on Google![]()

Best local safari guide ever! 10/10 Masai Mara experience Tony made our three-day safari absolutely unforgettable. We had an open-air jeep, which gave us amazing unobstructed views for every game drive, and Tony’s knowledge of the area was next-level like he tracked rhino footprints to find one for us, which really showed his skill and dedication. We saw all of the Big Five up close: lions (including multiple feeding and cubs!!), elephants, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, vultures, hyenas — honestly it felt like we saw every animal Kenya has to offer. Tony was incredibly fast at spotting wildlife and always seemed to know exactly where to go and when. Beyond his expertise, Tony was also just genuinely fun to be around, great sense of humor and made the whole experience feel personal, not like a routine tour.

Safari August 2026 I have been liaising with Lucy from Axis travel for close to year to plan our once in a lifetime safari trip as a family of four. I was nervous due to our children being 7 and 5 with the youngest having special needs however Axis very quickly put my mind to rest. They worked with me to ensure every aspect of the trip would work for the children and for our budget. They allocated a very experienced game driver Peter Ndungu who picked us up from Nairobi drove us to Masai Mara and we had an amazing experience overall. We saw so many amazing animals and the game drive worked really well for the children. Axis also organised our hot air balloon ride and trip to naivasha lake and hellsgate national park. The whole experience was really pleasant.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Our Safaridriver Andrew Kamau was very experienced and chose the right spots for great photos. He drove savely and always shared interesting stories with us.

Axis and Mohamed make the perfect Safari I booked a safari tour thanks to a colleague and I'm very happy to have chosen Axis Safari. Everything was well organized, no delay or issue. Camp, lunch, dinner, every movement from parks, all set without I needed to do or think about anything, just thinking about my holiday. Maximum flexibility and professionalism. Our guide, Mohamed, was amazing, full of passion and have enriched our game drives with tips and knowledge about Kenya and animals. He was always helpful, gentle and respectful of people and animals. If I love this trip, it is thanks to Axis Safari and Mohamed. 100% recommendedPosted on Google![]()

Great experience, professional and charming people. Incredible 4-day safari with *Axis Zafaris*! Our guide Mohamed was absolutely amazing. He made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to see and explained everything to us along the way. We learned so much in these 4 days. Super professional and friendly. Accomodations were also good. We are so happy with the experience. If you are thinking about a safari, book with Axis Zafaris - ask about Mohamed when booking, highly recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Amazing Safari at Masai Mara! I had an amazing time during the whole trip! The service was excellent and everything was on time. Our tour guide, Tom, really made sure that we could see all animals that we wanted to spot and was also very knowledgeable. He gave us a lot of information about the park and animals. We also had a nice picnic inside the park. Overall, I highly recommend Tom and the company!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Safaribookings.com Our booking and organization with Axis Africa was super easy and they are very flexible and helpful with all our requests. Communication for planning is super fast, easy and straightforward. Our guide Tom was very friendly and made sure everyone felt welcome and taken care of. He knew a lot of the wildlife and was able to show us all the animals we wanted to see (and many more!!) - and he had many interesting facts about them that he shared with us along the way. We booked the whole Maasai Maria trip with Axis and we felt, that we got a lot of value for the price! 5 out of 5 - would book with them again!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An Unforgettable Masai Mara Safari with Axis Africa Safari! We had an absolutely amazing game drive in the Masai Mara in late August, and our experience with Axis Africa Safari was exceptional from start to finish. Everything was very well organized, and the team was attentive, professional, and genuinely committed to making our safari special. Most importantly, we were incredibly lucky to have Saddam as our guide. He is simply the best! His knowledge of the Masai Mara, his understanding of animal behavior, and his ability to spot wildlife were outstanding. Thanks to him, we had unforgettable sightings of lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, and so much more—we were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five! But what truly made the experience special was Saddam himself. He is cheerful, friendly, hardworking, and has such a wonderful personality. His enthusiasm and dedication made every game drive exciting, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about giving us the best possible experience. We cannot thank Saddam enough for all his hard work and for making our safari such a memorable one. If we return to the Masai Mara in the future, we would absolutely want Saddam to be our guide again for every game drive. A huge thank you to Axis Africa Safari and especially Saddam for an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended! 🦁🐆🐘🌅 5/5 — An experience we will never forget!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An experience of a lifetime Title: Unforgettable, Seamless Safari Experience – Axis Delivered the Trip of a Lifetime! We recently returned from an extraordinary safari with Axis, and calling it the "experience of a lifetime" is an understatement. From initial planning to the final game drive, everything was handled with utmost professionalism and care. Flawless Planning with Jackie Our coordinator, Jackie, is an absolute pro. She listened closely to our goals and worked magic to design a wonderful, seamless itinerary that fit perfectly within our budget and timeframe. Her communication and attention to detail made the entire planning process completely stress-free. The Ultimate Guide: Kelvin Njamia Once on the ground, our guide Kelvin made the trip truly remarkable. His deep knowledge of the landscape, plant life, and animal behavior is incredible, but his expertise goes far beyond tracking wildlife: Insider Connections: Kelvin's strong professional relationships with other drivers and park staff unlocked special, unique viewing opportunities we otherwise would have missed. Thoughtful Touches: Every day featured a picturesque picnic lunch set up under a stunning, shaded tree in the wild. Warm Hospitality: Kind, thoughtful, and bringing a wealth of experience, Kelvin ensured we felt safe, engaged, and well cared for every single day. If you are considering a safari, book with Axis without hesitation. We will be recommending Jackie, Kelvin, and the whole Axis team to all of our friends and family! I have only 1 critique. The beds at Mara Chui Resort were so hard it was like sleeping on a dining room table. You may want to pick a different resort or bring your own mattress.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Private Safari with small kids Our experience with Axis Safari was overall mixed, with some very positive aspects but also some important issues. The biggest positive was undoubtedly our guide, John Mwangi. Our first interaction with the initial guide was unfortunately very poor, and after just a few minutes we asked Axis to change the guide. Axis accepted our request and arranged for John to take over, which we appreciated. John was excellent throughout the safari. He was knowledgeable, professional and particularly good at finding special wildlife encounters and positioning the vehicle at the right moments. Thanks to him, we had some truly memorable experiences, including an incredible leopard sighting. The PrideInn Mara was also a very pleasant part of the experience. The food was good, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The main disappointment was the safari vehicle. From the beginning, we had specifically requested a vehicle with canvas-covered rear windows, as we were travelling privately with two young children. When John took over, his vehicle did not have canvas-covered windows. We therefore asked Axis to keep both requirements: a different guide and a vehicle with canvas. Axis ultimately arranged for John to exchange vehicles with the initial guide, meaning we ended up using the initial guide’s vehicle — the same vehicle we had arrived in. We had only spent around five minutes in that vehicle initially, so we did not have the opportunity to properly assess its condition at that point. We chose to keep it because it was the only vehicle with canvas that Axis was able to make available to us. Unfortunately, over the following minutes, we discovered several issues with the vehicle. Most importantly, the majority of the seat belts were not functioning properly, which we found unacceptable when travelling with young children. There were also other maintenance issues, including charging ports that did not work and windows and doors that were not functioning properly. In addition, the vehicle was not particularly comfortable, which was disappointing given that this was a private safari and we spent many hours in the vehicle each day. To be fair, Axis was responsive to our requests and did make efforts to accommodate the change of guide and our requirement for a canvas-covered vehicle. However, we feel that the standard of the vehicle, both in terms of safety and comfort, was below what we expected from a private safari. Overall, John was excellent and made a significant difference to our experience, and PrideInn Mara was also very good. Unfortunately, the initial guide experience and, in particular, the condition and comfort of the vehicle prevented us from giving Axis a fully positive review.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

We had an unforgettable trip to Kenya, exploring Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. From start to finish, everything ran smoothly thanks to their thoughtful team. Rita at the office responded to all our questions promptly and thoroughly, making the planning process stress-free. The accommodation was mostly good, with clean, comfortable properties and consistently delicious food. The safari vehicle could have been better but it gave us a safe and comfortable ride throughout the trip. But the real standout was our tour guide, Raimon (hope the spelling is correct). He is the best we could’ve asked for, very friendly, and clearly loved his job. He made sure that we had really good sightings of animals during the safari. He went above and beyond to make us, a group of 8 people from different parts of the world, feel comfortable and engaged the entire time. I wholeheartedly recommend Axis Africa. - Namrata from IndiaPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great Safari with Axis — Saw the Big 5! (Minor Lodge Bump) I want to share my experience to help others know what to expect. After receiving several quotes, I chose Axis because they were extremely helpful in answering all my questions for our first safari and very flexible in adapting to our needs. I also really appreciated how upfront they were regarding pricing and options. Once in Kenya, we were lucky to have Mohamed as our driver. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he shared so many interesting facts about the savannah and its wildlife. Thanks to his dedication, we managed to see the Big Five across Masai Mara and Amboseli! The only downside occurred on our first day: our booked lodge was unavailable, and we were initially placed in an alternative option that fell short of our expectations. After some back-and-forth, we were moved to our original lodge and received a partial refund for the inconvenience. While I believe the company should have upgraded us instead of downgrading in that situation (putting customer experience over cost), the overall trip was still wonderful. I would still recommend Axis, especially if you get Mohamed as your guide!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unforgettable Safari We had an absolutely incredible experience in the Masai Mara, and a huge part of that was because of our wonderful guide, John Mwangi. From the very beginning, John was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. His knowledge of the wildlife, the Mara, and the behaviour of the animals made every game drive so much more meaningful. He always seemed to know where to go and, just as importantly, when to be patient and let nature unfold naturally. What impressed us most was his dedication to making sure we had the best possible experience. He was incredibly attentive, answered all our questions with enthusiasm, and made sure we were comfortable throughout. His sharp eyes and experience helped us spot animals . Beyond his knowledge and skills as a guide, John was simply a wonderful person to spend time with. His kindness, knowledge about wildlife and genuine love for the Mara made every day special. We came for the wildlife, but we left with unforgettable memories and a real appreciation for our guide We feel very lucky to have had him as our guide. Thank you, John Mwangi, for making our safari such a memorable and unforgettable experience!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great pleasure of seeking wild animals with Sir Charles We have spent 6 wonderfull days with Sir Charles, our safari guide, during our journey to Kenia. We have visited Masai Mara, Amboseli and Hell’s Gate. All the Safari trips were very interesting, all places differ and all delivered us great experience. Our guide, Sir Charles, was excelent driver, was very engaged in seeking for animals, he knew exactly where the animals were supposed to be and during our safaris he was sharing with us a lot of interesting informations about animals that we have met. He was very kind and had great ideas for lunch place, car stopping for the best views on animals passing by and he was also very cheerful and always ready to answer to our questions.

Great experience We booked a four-day safari with Axis and had a wonderful time! We ran into a problem with our flights that caused us to miss the first day, but we contacted Asia, who always responded promptly to help us find a new solution. In the end, we decided to upgrade to a private tour by paying the difference, and it was an excellent choice. Our guide, Kel, was fantastic! With him, we managed to see so many animals and all of the Big 5 across the two parks (Masai Mara and Nakuru). He answered our countless questions and was always kind and accommodating with our requests. He gave us a 10/10 experience!! Plus, we had water available in the jeep, which turned out to be incredibly useful! At Masai Mara, we stayed at the Sankare tented camp. It’s a bit basic (electricity is limited to a few hours a day), but if you adjust a little, it has everything you need to be comfortable (for example, there’s hot water all day). Almost all the staff are very welcoming and pleasant, and the food is great. At Lake Nakuru, we stayed at the Buhara Hotel; here, too, the warm welcome from the staff makes all the difference. The rooms are small but modern, the food is delicious here as well, and there’s even a pool. Finally, the stop at Lake Naivasha includes some touristy activities like a walking safari, but we enjoyed them—and in any case, they’re optional. We don’t recommend the stop at the Masai village—which we didn’t like because it was a bit too touristy and not worth the price, considerino also the pressure if you decide to buy souvenirs (which you’re not forced to)—but this excursion is optional, Axis offers it as an option, which is still appreciated because some people might actually enjoy it more. Overall, we recommend Axis for their prompt service, for the lodge/hotel accommodations considering the value for money, and above all for our guide Kel, whom we thank once again warmly! The tour can be paid for in cash or online by credit card, with a small 3.5% fee.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

6 day kenya visit with friends. It was a 6 days trip, landed at Nairobi, drove to Naivasha ( boat ride & crescent island vist) with night stay, next morning drove to Nakuru (visited the national park & the lake) with night stay, next early morning drove to Masai mara with two night stay with afternoon and full day game drives. Then drove back to Nairobi with two night stay (city tour & visited the National museum) and then flew back home. We were 5 senior citizen couples from India. I booked via Google search and reviews. I found Tabitha of Axis Africa Safari very cooperative and helpful. She guided us well to fix up an itinerary of our choice at a reasonable price. We enjoyed our stay at the hotels except Buraha Zenoni hotel at Nakuru as the rooms were small and uncomfortable. Our driver/guide Kevin Apidi and Ahmed Mohamed with their Land cruiser safari jeeps were excellent in every way from the moment they picked us up from the airport and dropped us back on the final day. Look for them if you visit Kenya. We thoroughly enjoyed all our site visits. The best was Masai mara, we saw all the big 5 animals along with Lion/Leopard/Cheetah with their kill, except for the migration saw everything. Memorable and once in a lifetime experience. Thank one and all who made this happen.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A Safari We’ll Never Forget 🦁🌍 A Safari We’ll Never Forget 🦁🌍 Some trips give you photographs. Some give you stories. And then there are trips that give you moments you know you’ll carry with you forever. Our Kenya journey with Axis Safari was exactly that. From the vast landscapes of Masai Mara to the beauty of Nakuru and Naivasha, we witnessed wildlife in its most extraordinary form — raw, untamed and completely on its own terms. Every game drive brought a new surprise, and every sighting reminded us how incredible it is to experience nature this close. But what truly made the trip special were the people behind it. A very special shoutout to Yasin, our big brother, who was with us throughout the journey. More than just an experienced guide, he became our companion through the trip. He made sure we were comfortable, looked after every little requirement and, most importantly, made us feel at home. His knowledge, patience and passion for the wild made every game drive that much more memorable. Beyond a traditional guide he helped us with the day to day affairs & ensured we have the best if times. And then there was Patrick — our guide for a one-day private safari in Masai Mara. Choosing to do that private tour was probably one of the best decisions we made. Patrick took us deep into the core of Masai Mara, knew exactly where to look and somehow managed to help us witness the Big Five in a single day. An unforgettable experience, made even better by his expertise and enthusiasm. A big thank you to Winnie as well, who patiently answered all our questions before and during the trip. No matter how many queries we had, she was always there with a response and made the entire planning process incredibly smooth. She was ever available & helped us curating this itinerary so well. To the entire Axis Safari team — thank you for making Kenya much more than just a holiday. Highly recommend them for your Kenya visit! Kenya, you were extraordinary. And Axis Safari, you made sure we experienced it the right way. ❤️Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Magical 5 days at Maasai Mara I had an awesome 5-day tour with Axis Africa for Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. Peter Kapino, who was our tour guide, was very warm, hospitable, and extremely knowledgeable about every nook and corner of Maasai Mara. He ensured that we could spot all the important animals easily at the national reserve. He also is well-known & respectable in the community of tour guides, because of which, when our vehicle broke down for a while when we wereon our way to Maasai Mara on Day 1, multiple tour guides came to help us. While inside Maasai Mara, we could spot three out of five big five animals on Day 1 itself, even though we only had half a day of game drive. The second day of game drive was so refreshing, in which we could spot all the Big Five very easily because of Peter's expertise and great coordination with multiple tour guides. Peter is also very punctual, and he ensures that the group sticks to the time so that we get the most out of our tour. He is someone I would strongly recommend for your Maasai Mara adventure and trip. He is also very funny and jovial. He would keep the moment very lighthearted with his witty jokes. You will never have a dull moment with Peter. Peter, I'll miss you and look forward to doing my next game drive with you whenever I visit Maasai Mara next.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Axis Safari Private Tour - Customized Itinerary What an amazing experience! First of all thanks to Peter from Axis Safari for being so patient while we were discussing the itinerary. He didn’t impose anything forcefully and gave suggestions where asked for feedback. There was absolutely no issue with any of the bookings or payments. All hotels were prepared for our arrival. Simba Lodge Lake Navishah and Mara Maisha were absolutely beautiful! Set in beautiful scenery & such comfortable rooms ❤️ Our guide was Richard. It was an absolute pleasure to have him with us for 5 days. He is from Masai Mara area so very much aware of everything. Being a young guide, his knowledge of the area and animals was quite astonishing. He was friendly, kind, and engaged so well with our kids and answered all their questions. He made sure we had the best spot to take pictures without distressing the animals. Kids have given him 100/10.

Amazing Experience! Axis Safari made our Masai Mara experience truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, they were easy to communicate with. Cynthia made the booking process smooth and hassle-free, and all our needs were well taken care of. And the actual safari? Absolutely amazing! Our lead guide, Yasin, was like an animal whisperer. His knowledge and expertise when it came to wildlife and the Masai Mara were incredible. In just a few days, we were able to see everything we had hoped for and more. The biggest highlights were witnessing the Great Migration and even a river crossing, experiences we know are never guaranteed. Yasin seemed to know exactly where and when to look, and his expertise played a huge part in making these unforgettable sightings possible. Jumbe, our second guide, was equally wonderful to have with us. He was fun, friendly, and always brought great energy to the group, making the long game drives even more enjoyable. From the smooth planning with Cynthia to our unforgettable safari with Yasin and Jumbe, Axis Safari exceeded our expectations. We came home with incredible memories and a safari experience we will never forget. Highly recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Wonderful experience, well organised and quality over the budget We went for a 6 days budget trip (masai mara, nakuru, amboseli) + 1 day trip to Nairobi NP. The travel: the car was comfortable with enough space for all the people joning. We spent of course lot of hours in the car, but the stops where planned perfectly. The parks: there are no words to describe the parks we visited, we were able to see almost all the animals and the great migration. Even if the animals repeats, it's never boring and the landscape changes every time. The lodges: this was the point that i was afraid of when i looked for the lodges on internet, but as soon as we stepped into the lodges I've find out that they were completely over the expectations and actually very clean, cool, and the food was all right! We've been in the Wild Nest Camp, which i think was better than the one initially on the options (lenchada) at masai mara, buraha zenoni at nakuru, and Manjaro Eco camp at Amboseli. I would like to spend a few for this last camp, the manjaro eco camp, because it was very very far away from a budget camp, the food was very good but the thing that we didn't expected was that we saw animals and had the chance to do some walking outside the camp (and we saw elephants, giraffes and others!), with a stunning view of the kilimanjaro. Peter, the manager, knew how to deal with tourists. The guides: Andrew was our guide for masai mara and Nakuru, very thanks to him because he always tried his best to make us watch animals from a close distance and the great migration. Then we changed car and we met Amos, a very expert guide always ready to provide us informations about the parks and the animals. Moreover he has a very safe drive which is rare in kenya. Thank to you too! The company: i definetly suggest Axis for your safari trip in Kenya, they will provide you the best experience. Why 4 stars: the only reason i give four stars instead of five is because of the itinerary. In my opinion it should be mentioned that most of the chances to see the cats are at Masai Mara, so it would have been better to do the trip in the opposite way, or focus the masai mara experience on the cats since the other animals are a lot also in the other parks. Also, we went to naivasha for the boat ride, which is very good, but if we only knew that it was such good we wanted for sure to do the walk. I think that with those 2 points fixed it would have been perfect. Anyway it's a very positive experience that we will never forget. Thanks to Axis and all the team. See youPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

safari Adventure Our Kenya trip with Axis Safari was honestly an incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was well organised, from the arrangements to the safari itself, and the whole experience was smooth, comfortable and beyond what we expected. But what really made the trip extra special was our guide, Charles Pili Pili or as we call him, Angkor, meaning “brother.” ❤️ Angkor was honestly one of the best guides we could have asked for. He was extremely experienced, professional, knowledgeable and so much fun to be around. His knowledge of the wildlife was incredible from animal behaviour and tracking to the different parts of the Masai Mara, he always had something interesting to share. And the best part? He somehow always knew where to take us. 🦁🐆🦒 From cheetahs getting ridiculously close to our Jeep, witnessing a leopard hunt, lions on the move and even the unforgettable wildebeest crossing we experienced moments that I’ll probably never forget. What makes Angkor stand out is that he doesn’t just “drive you around.” He genuinely understands the wild. He knows when to wait, when to move, where to look and how to respect the animals and their environment. You can really feel his passion and experience every time he speaks about Kenya and its wildlife. And of course, finding out that our guide is also a famous professional footballer was definitely a bonus! 😂⚽️ Safari guide by day, football legend by… apparently also day. 😂 Throughout the trip, Angkor was more than just our guide. He became our photographer, storyteller, wildlife expert, comedian and most importantly, our brother. ❤️ Huge thank you to Axis Safari for giving us such a memorable Kenya experience, and an even bigger thank you to Angkor for making it truly unforgettable. If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, I would absolutely recommend Axis Safari and if you’re lucky enough to get Angkor, you’re in very good hands. 🇰🇪❤️ 10/10 experience. Would do it all over again. All the Best Charles Pili Pili / Angkor ! Love, Sisters from Malaysia 🇲🇾Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

The safari team is very co operative and co ordinating. Clear communication is appreciated. But what I dont apprciate about the safari is stressing the wild animal for few photographs. As the safari guide should know about these factors, I was pretty dissapointed that no body cared for the well being of the wildlife. Even rangers present in masai mara permitted this activity is dissapointed. The food served in the camp was amazing, Chef made sure everything was alright however the packed lunch during safari and the end of the tour is really dissapointing. Also posting reviews is personal choice, the tour guides cannot force individuals to post positive reviews for them. I really appreciate axis safari for cordinating eveything for me .Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

So much more than expected! Our guide was amazing and so experienced! We saw so many more animals than expected. It was exciting and exhilarating to see these animals so close and in the wild. Our guide also found us hidden gems - he read the posture of the hyenas which then led us to 2 sleeping lions - we were the only other ones there, which really made it special!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Peter Kapino made our safari feel like a wildlife documentary Our seven-day private safari through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli was one of the most memorable trips we have ever taken. We were incredibly fortunate to have Peter Kapino from Axil Africa Safaris as our guide and driver for the whole journey. Before arriving in Kenya, we mainly hoped to see some of the Big Five and experience the famous African landscapes. By the end of the trip, we had seen far more wildlife than we imagined and had also learned a huge amount about Kenya, its ecosystems, geography and local culture. Peter Kapino has a very good way of explaining things. He does not simply point at an animal and tell you its name. He explains its behavior, habitat, relationships with other animals and sometimes even what it is likely to do next. This made the safari much more interesting because we began to understand the animals rather than simply collect photographs of them. The Masai Mara gave us some incredible encounters. We saw many lions during our game drives, including males, females and different groups spread across the savanna. The most surprising moment was when Peter found two lions mating. We were able to observe this natural behavior from the vehicle, and Peter explained their mating behavior and the dynamics of lion prides. It was an extraordinary experience and certainly not something we expected to see. Another unforgettable moment was finding a cheetah eating. Being able to watch a cheetah feeding in the wild was fascinating. Peter gave us plenty of time to observe and photograph the animal, and he explained how cheetahs hunt, how quickly they need to eat before larger predators arrive and some of the challenges they face in the ecosystem. We were also extremely lucky to experience the wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara. Seeing huge numbers of wildebeest moving together across the plains was one of the defining moments of our trip. There were wildebeest and zebras everywhere, creating exactly the kind of scene we had imagined before coming to Africa. Peter explained the annual migration route and how the herds follow rainfall and fresh grass through the Serengeti–Mara ecosystem. Some of our favorite moments were not necessarily the most dramatic ones. One evening, for example, we watched a giraffe silhouetted against the sunset. With the golden light across the savanna, it was an incredibly beautiful scene. Peter was patient and allowed us to enjoy and photograph the moment. It became one of our favorite photos of the entire safari. At Lake Nakuru, the experience changed completely. Instead of endless savanna, we found a lake surrounded by wildlife and birds. We were thrilled to see rhinos, including impressive close views, and an extraordinary number of flamingos. At certain points the shoreline seemed covered with them. Together with pelicans, marabou storks and other birds, it created a completely different kind of wildlife experience from Masai Mara. Peter was very knowledgeable about the birds as well. Even when we were more focused on the larger animals, he would point out interesting species and explain some of their behavior. Then came Amboseli, which was perhaps the most beautiful ending we could have asked for. Seeing the famous elephants of Amboseli with Mount Kilimanjaro behind them was incredible. We watched groups of elephants moving slowly across the plains while Kilimanjaro dominated the background. The combination of huge elephants, open grassland and the mountain made the scenery look almost like a postcard. Peter knew where to position the vehicle to make the most of the view. He also explained the elephant family groups and how the Amboseli elephants move between feeding and water areas. We could tell that he genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge. Outside the national parks, Peter also made the long drives interesting. He talked about the Great Rift Valley, different regions of Kenya, Maasai culture, local communities, farming and everyday life. We really appreciated having someone who could explain the country rather than only the wildlife. His driving was excellent throughout the trip. Safari roads can be rough, dusty and unpredictable, but we always felt safe. He handled difficult tracks calmly and seemed to know exactly where he was going even deep inside the parks. Most importantly, Peter Kapino is simply a very nice person. He is friendly, patient, respectful and easy to spend time with. He never seemed tired of our questions and never made us feel rushed. We would very happily travel with him again. If you are planning a safari with Axil Africa Safaris, we strongly recommend asking for Peter Kapino. The animals and landscapes of Kenya are already extraordinary, but having a guide like Peter turns the safari into a much deeper and more memorable experience.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Seven incredible days with Peter Kapino: lions, migration, rhinos, flamingos and Kilimanjaro We recently completed the 7 Days Masai Mara–Lake Nakuru–Lake Naivasha–Amboseli private safari with Axil Africa Safaris, and our guide throughout the journey was Peter Kapino. It was an amazing itinerary with very different landscapes and wildlife every day, and Peter made the whole trip informative, comfortable and fun. The safari started with the drive from Nairobi toward Masai Mara, including the impressive Great Rift Valley scenery. From the beginning, Peter explained the geography of the area and gave us background about the communities and landscapes we were passing through. This continued throughout the week, so even the long transfers between parks became part of the experience. Once we arrived in the Masai Mara, the wildlife was incredible. There were animals almost everywhere we looked. We saw large numbers of wildebeest and zebras, many different antelope species, giraffes, buffaloes, elephants and predators. We were especially lucky with lions. We saw a lot of them throughout our time in the Mara, including one remarkable encounter where two lions were mating. Peter explained their behavior while keeping a respectful distance so we could observe without interfering. It was one of the most unusual wildlife moments we have ever experienced. We also watched a cheetah eating. Seeing a cheetah in the wild was already exciting, but being able to watch one feeding made the encounter even more special. Peter explained the differences between cheetahs and other large predators, as well as how their hunting strategy and lighter body structure influence their behavior after a kill. One of the biggest highlights was witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration. The sheer number of animals across the plains was difficult to comprehend. Thousands of wildebeest were moving through the ecosystem, together with zebras and other herbivores. It felt like watching a live nature documentary. Peter helped us understand that the migration is not simply one single event but a continuous movement through the Serengeti and Masai Mara depending on rainfall, water and fresh grazing. Having this explanation while physically watching the herds made the experience much more meaningful. One evening in the Mara gave us a completely different kind of memory. A giraffe stood against the setting sun, creating an iconic African silhouette. The sky was glowing while the giraffe slowly moved through the grass. It was simple compared with the predator sightings, but it was probably one of the most beautiful moments of the entire journey. At Lake Nakuru, we were excited to see rhinos, and we were surprised by just how many birds surrounded the lake. The flamingos were spectacular. There were huge groups of them feeding around the water, adding flashes of pink across the landscape. We also saw pelicans, storks and many other birds. Peter explained how changing water conditions affect the bird populations and why this area is so important for wildlife. The trip through Naivasha and Hell’s Gate gave us another change of pace and scenery. After several days of intense game drives, it was interesting to experience a landscape where walking and cycling are possible and where animals such as zebras and giraffes can be seen in a more open environment. Finally, Amboseli provided some of the most iconic views of our entire safari. Watching big herds of elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro behind them was breathtaking. When the mountain was visible and elephants walked into the foreground, it created exactly the classic image of Kenya that we had hoped to see. The elephants themselves were impressive, especially some of the very large adults. Peter explained their family relationships, how females and young elephants stay together and how they travel through the Amboseli ecosystem searching for food and water. Peter’s driving deserves special mention as well. Many of the roads are not easy, especially inside the reserves, but he drove confidently and carefully. He knew how to select routes, find wildlife and position the vehicle well for photographs. At the same time, we never felt that he was chasing animals just for photos. He respected the wildlife and allowed us to observe naturally. His knowledge of animal behavior, habitats, Kenyan geography and local culture was excellent. We asked many questions during the week, sometimes about animals and sometimes about Kenyan life, and he always took the time to explain. Peter Kapino was also friendly throughout the journey and made seven days together feel easy. His calm personality, sense of humor and enthusiasm contributed enormously to our enjoyment. We returned to Nairobi with thousands of photographs and memories of lions mating, a cheetah feeding, wildebeest migration, rhinos, huge numbers of flamingos, a giraffe under the sunset and elephants standing beneath Kilimanjaro. Thank you, Peter Kapino, for an incredible safari. We would highly recommend him and Axil Africa Safaris to anyone wanting to explore Kenya.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

★★★★★ Amos made this trip! ★★★★★ Amos made this trip! Just wrapped up a family safari across Kenya with Axis Africa Safaris and honestly, Amos (our driver-guide) made the whole thing. He knew the roads, knew where the animals were, and was just genuinely great with the family the whole way through — patient, fun, and clearly loved what he does. We went through the Rift Valley, stopped by Lake Naivasha, did Hell’s Gate — all smooth, all well timed. Amos handled the driving and logistics like a pro and always seemed to know exactly where to be and when. If you’re booking with Axis Africa Safaris, ask for Amos.

★★★★★ Unforgettable Family Safari Through the Rift Valley Our guide, Amos, made the entire trip. His knowledge of the region’s wildlife, geography, and local culture was outstanding, and he had a natural gift for making everyone in the family — including our child — feel engaged and excited at every stop. He timed our route perfectly around the wildebeest migration, and his patience navigating logistics, wildlife sightings, and family-friendly pacing didn’t go unnoticed. What stood out most was how personal the experience felt. Amos wasn’t just driving and narrating — he was genuinely invested in making sure we saw the best of Kenya safely and comfortably, adjusting plans on the fly when opportunities (like a great migration crossing or a good wildlife sighting) came up. Axis Africa Safaris clearly prioritizes quality over volume — the planning, communication, and on-ground execution all reflected real expertise in East African travel. I’d highly recommend them to any family or group looking for an authentic, well-organized Kenyan safari experience. Highly recommend requesting Amos as your guide — five stars, without hesitation. Want me to tweak the tone (shorter/more casual, or more formal for TripAdvisor/Google), or tailor specific details like dates, camps stayed at, or animals seen?Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Safari experience with Laso We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience, and a huge part of what made the trip so memorable was our guide, Laso. He was incredibly skilled, experienced, attentive, and genuinely determined to make sure we had the best possible experience. Laso had an amazing ability to position the vehicle so that we could get the best views and photos of the animals. Whenever he heard over the radio that something had been spotted, he reacted immediately and did everything possible to get us there in time. He expertly navigated rough terrain, crossed rivers, drove through bushes, and maneuvered the vehicle into the perfect position for us to see the wildlife. Thanks to his persistence, experience, and determination, we saw an incredible number of animals, including all of the Big Five. At the same time, I always felt completely safe with him. He is an excellent and very alert driver who clearly has extensive experience. He was also passionate about sharing his knowledge, explaining the animals, their behavior, and everything we were seeing along the way. He was wonderful with our children and made the experience interesting and enjoyable for the whole family. Beyond the game drives, Laso was extremely accommodating and flexible. He happily adjusted stops for particular breakfast and lunch places we wanted to visit, made sure we always had enough water, and took great care of us throughout the trip. He was always punctual - usually already waiting for us before we were ready - and consistently explained what we would be doing, where we were going, and what to expect next. Everything was organized and clear, the itinerary was followed smoothly, yet he was always willing to be flexible when we wanted something different. We feel extremely lucky that Laso was our guide. His professionalism, enthusiasm, patience, driving skills, knowledge, and determination to find wildlife truly made our safari exceptional. Not every guide will go to the same lengths to create this kind of experience, and Laso really stands out. I would highly recommend specifically asking for Laso when booking with Axis Safari.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great experience - 6 days Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli We had a great 6-day safari overall and would book with this tour operator again. Our driver, Sadam, was fantastic, very friendly, experienced and always made sure we had a great game-drive experience. Communication was good throughout, and there was always more than enough water in the car for everyone. The price was also very good for a 6-day safari. The only negative experience was the accommodation on the first night. We were placed at Enchoro Wildlife Camp, which had never been mentioned as one of the accommodation options when we booked and, unfortunately, was below the standard we expected. Also the food and lunch we got wasn’t good either. They had no towels for us, which was not ok. I personally wouldn’t recommend Enchoro. Luckily Jacklyne from the tour operator was so kind and understood our concern, I contacted her and she helped us to get into a better tent at this Camp. However, Wildnest Camp was amazing and much more in line with the standard we had expected. The place is beautiful. The food is good and the staff is very friendly. Buraha Zenoni Hotel was also a great place to stay with great food, awesome staff and good beds to sleep. Tonight we stay at Amboseli and don’t know yet how the accommodation and last game drive will be. But we are totally looking forward to it. Overall, we had a wonderful safari, saw so many amazing animals already and were very happy with the experience.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Value for money Safari This tour was an excellent way to experience Africa's wildlife while staying within my budget and limited time. The highlight was the Maasai Mara, where we saw the true wildlife, including the unforgettable zebra river crossing. The boat safari on Lake Naivasha and the game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park complemented the experience. The accommodation throughout the trip was clean, comfortable, and served good food. What made the experience even more enjoyable was the excellent group of fellow travelers. The organizers did a fantastic job of bringing together people who got along well, creating a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the tour. The vehicle was comfortable and the driver/guide was very knowledgeable who explained every animal we saw in detail. He was professional and highly dependable throughout the tour. We greatly admired his work ethic.

Ask for Peter Kapino if you want a knowledgeable and genuinely enjoyable safari guide Ask for Peter Kapino if you want a knowledgeable and genuinely enjoyable safari guide If you are booking a safari with Axil Africa Safaris, we highly recommend asking for Peter Kapino as your guide. We spent seven days with Peter travelling from Nairobi through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hell’s Gate and Amboseli, and it turned out to be one of the most extraordinary travel experiences we have ever had. A safari can involve many hours inside a vehicle, so the person guiding you makes a huge difference. Peter was excellent from beginning to end. He is professional but relaxed, very friendly and patient, and we felt comfortable asking him questions about almost anything we encountered. Most importantly, Peter understands wildlife extremely well. Rather than treating the safari as a checklist of animals, he helped us understand what we were actually seeing. The Masai Mara was probably the most action-packed section of the trip. We saw a remarkable number of lions, including different prides and individual animals across the grasslands. One of our most memorable sightings was a pair of lions mating. It was incredible to witness such natural behavior, and Peter explained the mating cycle and behavior of lions while we watched. Another highlight was watching a cheetah eating. Seeing a cheetah standing in the grass is impressive enough, but watching it feed gave us the opportunity to observe completely different behavior. Peter explained how cheetahs need to be cautious after making a kill because lions, hyenas and other predators can steal their food. We were also fortunate enough to experience the wildebeest migration. Nothing really prepares you for the number of animals. There were massive herds moving across the Mara, with wildebeest seemingly covering entire sections of the landscape and zebras mixed among them. Peter explained how these herds migrate between the Serengeti and Masai Mara and how their movement is connected to seasonal rainfall. It was fascinating to hear about the ecosystem while looking out at thousands of animals moving through it. At sunset, we also experienced one of those quieter safari scenes that stays in your memory forever: a giraffe walking beneath a beautiful orange sunset. The giraffe was silhouetted against the sky with the open Mara plains behind it. Peter stopped and gave us plenty of time to watch and photograph the scene. It was one of those moments where everything looked exactly like the Africa you imagine before visiting. Lake Nakuru brought another completely different experience. We saw rhinos, including excellent views that allowed us to observe them properly. We were also amazed by the birdlife. There were huge numbers of flamingos around parts of the lake. Seeing so many together, with hundreds of pink birds spread across the water and shoreline, was absolutely beautiful. There were also pelicans, marabou storks and many other species. Peter could explain and identify far more birds than we would ever have noticed by ourselves. After Nakuru and Naivasha, we continued south to Amboseli, where the scenery became completely different again. Amboseli gave us perhaps the most iconic images of the entire safari: large elephants walking across the plains with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. We had hoped before our trip that we might get this classic view, so actually seeing it was very special. At times there were several elephants moving together, including adults and younger animals, while Kilimanjaro rose behind them. Peter positioned us perfectly to enjoy the scene and take photographs. He explained how Amboseli is famous for its elephants and told us about their family structure and behavior. We also saw many other animals throughout the trip: giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, warthogs, baboons, hyenas, different antelope species and countless birds. What impressed us was that Peter remained enthusiastic even after we had already seen many animals. He would still point out something interesting and explain its behavior rather than assuming we were only interested in lions or elephants. Peter was equally knowledgeable about Kenyan culture and geography. As we travelled between destinations, he explained the Great Rift Valley, local communities, farming, different ethnic groups and how life changes between regions. This meant we came away understanding much more about Kenya than we would have from game drives alone. His driving ability was also excellent. Some roads inside the parks were very rough, yet he handled the vehicle confidently. He knew when to drive slowly, how to avoid particularly difficult sections and where to place the vehicle for a good view of wildlife. We always felt safe with him. What stood out most was Peter’s combination of professionalism and friendliness. He was never impatient, even when we wanted to spend extra time taking photographs. He was happy to answer the same kinds of questions repeatedly and seemed genuinely pleased when we were excited about a sighting. By the end of seven days, we had accumulated an unbelievable collection of memories: lions mating, a cheetah feeding, the wildebeest migration, rhinos at Lake Nakuru, enormous groups of flamingos, a giraffe beneath the sunset and elephants framed by Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli. It was the safari we had hoped for and much more. A huge thank you to Peter Kapino and Axil Africa Safaris for making our Kenya trip so memorable. If you want a guide who is knowledgeable about wildlife and local culture, an excellent driver, patient with photographers and simply a genuinely friendly person to spend a week with, we would absolutely recommend Peter Kapino.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Had an amazing time :) Jumbe was our driver and he was AMAZING! one of the only ethical guides/drivers during the trip. At several points in masai mara, drivers were driving up too close to the animals or disturbing wildlife. I loved that Jumbe maintained distance and professional conduct at all times even if several cars were breaking rules. He also has an amazing sense and understanding of animals. We spotted so much wildlife and he always knew how long to wait for us to see something interesting. For example we saw a family of lions sleeping under a tree and he stopped the car at a distance for several minutes, we even told him to leave cos we got bored and within the next two minutes of our conversation with him, the whole family got up to go eat a wildebeast that was hunted earlier in the day. Insane instinct!!!! We got to see the lions move by very close to us coincidently cos they were crossing the path, and then we got to see the whole family feeding on the hunt. Amazing experience. Same with the wilderbeasts and their crossing at the Mara river. He somehow just knew how the wilderbeasts would behave and move back closer to the area that we were in, and we had to wait for a couple of hours, but he was right and we saw some of them cross the river. He answered allllll our questions (and i had a lot) and it was overall a wonderful experience, definitely value for money. I also went alone and joined two other couples, so you can definitely go solo and still have a great experience. Im gonna recommend him and Axis to everybody I know :)Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Fulfilling the dream of an African safari Our 7-days safari in Kenya is coming to an end. Thanks to Axis Africa Safaris, it’s an experience we’ll cherish for a long time. It was wonderful and exceeded all our expectations! I’d like to give a huge thank you to Lucy for her professional advice and quick responses whenever needed (and patience with such a demanding client as myself. She worked miracles to secure the accommodations we had chosen, and everything was organized to the highest standard. We visited Tsavo, Amboseli, Nakuru, Naivasha, and the Masai Mara. Each of these parks is unique and well worth a visit. A massive thank you goes to Ben as well. I’m not sure if he’s a better driver or a better guide. We felt completely safe with him, both on the road and during the safari (he knew exactly what to do when one of us suffered a dangerous wasp sting). On top of that, he has the eyes of a hawk and a deep understanding of animal behavior. He knew exactly when to wait during the safari and when it was best not to waste time. Spotting the "Big Five" with him seemed so easy... He also possesses a wealth of knowledge that he was happy to share. Highly recommended. And finally, if anyone is wondering whether a hot-air balloon ride over the Masai Mara is worth it—yes, it is an absolute must. Even my fear of heights didn't stop me from doing it.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Amazing Safari Experience – Fantastic Service and a Great Guide! 6 Day Safari - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli We booked our safari with Axis Africa Safaris quite last minute, and they were fantastic from start to finish. They were incredibly accommodating, arranged great accommodation throughout the trip, and were always very responsive on WhatsApp beforehand, patiently answering all of our questions and making sure everything was organised properly. Unfortunately, our flight into Nairobi was significantly delayed, which meant we missed the original start of our safari. Axis were extremely helpful and quickly arranged a new private transfer for us, allowing us to reach our accommodation that evening and still enjoy a full second day in the Masai Mara. We really appreciated how flexible and helpful they were in making sure the disruption had as little impact on our trip as possible. A special mention has to go to our amazing guide, Simba. He was brilliant throughout the entire safari: incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the areas we visited, patient, friendly and accommodating to everyone in the group. We never felt rushed, and he always took the time to explain what we were seeing and make sure everyone had the best possible experience. He knew some fantastic spots for wildlife viewing and really made the safari memorable for us. We had an amazing trip and would highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris, and especially Simba as a guide.

Throughout the safari, he explained everything we saw in such an interesting way — from the animals and their behavior to the landscape, nature, and local environment. He was always happy to answer our questions and share his knowledge with us. Richard went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. He knew exactly where to go and made every effort to ensure that we saw all the animals we were hoping to see. Thanks to his experience, patience, and sharp eyes, we had some truly unforgettable wildlife encounters! We were traveling as a family with children, and Richard made everyone feel comfortable, safe, and involved throughout the entire trip. we would recommend him without hesitation to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unforgettable Safari 🦁🇰🇪 Amazing guides, incredible wildlife, Swahili music, and dancing in the heart of the Mara! Just completed an amazing safari in the Masai Mara with Axis Safari, and honestly, it was an experience I’ll never forget. A huge shoutout to our guides, Sadam and Booh. They weren’t just great guides, they genuinely made us feel at home. From spotting animals and birds to telling us about the trees, the Mara, and the Maasai community, they made every drive interesting and memorable. And then there were the little moments that made the trip even more special like listening to the Axis anthem and different Swahili songs in the safari car, and eventually dancing to them right there in the middle of the Mara! 😂🇰🇪 The safari was incredible, but it was the people, the music, the stories and the laughs that made it truly special. Thank you, Sadam, Booh, Tabitha (tour operator) and the entire Axis Safari team for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend! 🦁🐆🐘🦏🐃❤️Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

5stars+ safari My family and I have spent 5 interesting, relaxing and exciting days in Masai Mara. Organisation by Jane (Axis Safari) has been perfect, always clear and punctual, everything was according to the plan and Soroi private wings Bush Camp even exceeded our expectations. Our guide Collin Sempele is very, very well informed about wild animals habitat, kenyan culture, and extremely generous with the time spent in game. He pays a lot attention to everyone’s needs and knows how to behave with different characters. I strongly recommend him.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Incredible Hi there. I've just completed day 3 of my 4 day safari with Kelvin from Axis Africa Expedition and Safaris. Everything about this tour has surpassed my expectations. I have been trying to do this safari for over a decade so I was a little nervous. All of the communication with Tabitha was so easy and very timely. Her service was excellent right from the beginning. When the tour started, Kelvin was amazing from the start. The driving alone is so hard on these treacherous roads and he made us feel very safe. He was incredible at finding these amazing moments and memories on the tour. I know some of it was luck but you can tell he's VERY experienced and he has great connections with many other drivers, to help find us the best moments with the animals. We saw ALL of the big five by day two!! He was very warm and knowledgeable, but also always professional. If you get Kelvin as your guide, you've truly locked out.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An absolute masterpiece of a safari in the Masai Mara: Thank you, Mukok! If you are planning a trip to Kenya and have the good fortune of having Mukok as your guide, you are in extraordinary hands. We just had the most insane, incredible adventure across the Masai Mara and beyond, and so much of the credit goes to him. Mukok is not just a brilliantly knowledgeable guide; he has a contagious passion for his land, a deep understanding of wildlife, and an uncanny instinct for tracking. It honestly felt like he had radar in his eyes—he could spot animals camouflaged in the bush that we never would have noticed in a million years. What stood out to us the most, though, was his personality. He is warm, attentive, respectful, and endlessly patient (especially with people like us who wanted to stop and take a hundred photos of every single animal!). With him, we always felt safe and completely looked after, never like just another pair of tourists, but rather like special guests. Under his guidance, every single game drive turned into a unique and deeply authentic experience. If you want to experience Kenya to the absolute fullest and come home with unforgettable memories, trust Mukok with your eyes closed. He is a phenomenal professional and a genuinely wonderful human being. Thank you for everything, Mukok—you made us fall completely in love with Africa!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

The trip of a lifetime! Our family of 5 had the most amazing, memorable and fun 4 day safari to the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru. From the timely, informative and professional communications with Winnie in the booking team to our knowledgable, friendly and attentive guide Tom the whole experience was superb! We saw all of the big 5 and many more animals as well - Tom’s 15 years of doing safari tours obviously helped him to know where to find the animals and to give us plenty of information about them. He also made sure that we got the absolute best out of each activity, whether it was picking a picnic spot with uninterrupted views of the savannah plains to helping us try the roadside cooked corn on the cob! We stayed in the mid-range Mara Ntulele safari camp and Buraha Zenoni hotel, both of which were clean and comfortable with good food and service. The trip offers excellent value for money and I would highly recommend it to any travellers looking to visit this beautiful part of Kenya.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

7 days in Kenya with Axis We had a wonderful 7 days in Kenya with Axis Safaris and our wonderful guides Yasin and Jombe. They took such good care of us, provided lots of water for the game drives and were very knowledgeable on the best vantage points to see the wildlife. We managed to see the Big 5, the great migration and even a river crossing where we were the only 2 cars there (we waited for a relatively short 2 hours by the river bank). Thanks Yasin and Jombe for encouraging us to be patient and quiet so we could see that once in a lifetime experience. Thank you also for taking such great pictures of us, driving us safely, and for sharing so much information about Kenya and its incredible wildlife. We had an epic trip and we hope to be back again!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Best of our life We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Axis Africa, and we are genuinely grateful to the entire team for making our Kenya safari so memorable. A special mention to Mungai, our tour consultant, who handled all our room bookings, arrangements and safari planning. He was always helpful, responsive and professional, and made sure everything was arranged smoothly for us. We felt well taken care of throughout the trip, and whenever we needed anything, Mungai was there to assist us. And then there was our incredible guide, Peter Ngigi — truly one of the best guides we could have asked for. Peter went far beyond what we expected to make our safari special. He put in tremendous effort to help us see the Big Five, and his knowledge, experience and understanding of the animals were exceptional. But what impressed us most was not just his skills as a guide — it was the way he treated us as guests. Peter genuinely listens to his guests. He understands what they want to experience and does everything possible to make it happen. He is kind, generous, patient, extremely helpful and incredibly smart at what he does. He handles every situation calmly and smoothly, and you can immediately see that he takes great pride in his work. What makes Peter different is that he doesn’t treat a safari like just another job. He makes you feel that your safari is his safari and that your experience matters to him personally. He was always thinking ahead, helping us with anything we needed and making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. We are extremely grateful to Peter and to Axis Africa for giving us such an unforgettable experience in Kenya. Axis Africa is truly a great company, and having someone like Peter as a guide makes the experience even more special. We would highly recommend Axis Africa to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. If you are lucky enough to have Peter as your guide, you are in very good hands! Thank you, Mungai, Peter and the entire Axis Africa team for an amazing safari.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Mount Kenya 4-day hike Online process went well overall, but if your starting point is not Nairobi, make sure to discuss the logistics (pick-up time, location and luggage) early enough, as we found ourselves with an extra bag that the team had to carry.

5 Amazing Days in Kenya! Axis Africa Safaris gave us more than we could of imagined in Kenya for our safari. We booked a 5-Day Private Safari and had the most memorable time; from game drives-to-bird watching, we had an incredible experience that we will never forget. Our guide Mohamed was amazing, so knowledgeable and genuinely interested in making sure we saw every one of the “Big 5” and more. The accommodations along the way were extremely comfortable whether we were in a glamping campsite right outside of the Masai Mara or in a luxury resort/spa right on Lake Naivasha. We will take the memories of this trip with us the rest of our lives! Highly recommended 10/10!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

We did 7 days of Safari trip with our guide Amos through Masai Mara, Naivasha National Park, Nakuru National Park, Hell's Gate National Park and Amboseli National Park. Amos was extremely knowledgeable of the landscape and wildlife. He answered all our questions and shared insightful information about animals and birds we spotted. He drove us around all 7 days extremely professionally, ensuring that our aged parents were comfortable at all times and stopped for adequate breaks. Overall, we'd highly recommend Amos as guide and Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris as tour operators.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An unforgettable safari experience in Maasai Mara! I had an amazing experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris from beginning to end. Everything was very well organized, starting with my first contacts with Jacklyne, who was always helpful, friendly, and professional. The hotel pick-up and the entire journey to Maasai Mara went smoothly, and it was clear that the company pays attention to every detail. The accommodation provided was excellent — comfortable, well located, and a perfect place to relax after a full day of safari. The meals were also very good and contributed to an overall great experience. However, I would like to give a very special mention to our guide and driver, Simba. He truly made the safari unforgettable. Besides being an excellent and very skilled driver, Simba was extremely friendly, patient, and always willing to answer our questions and share his knowledge. His knowledge of Maasai Mara and its wildlife was impressive. He has an incredible eye for spotting animals from very long distances, often noticing wildlife that we would never have seen on our own. His experience, enthusiasm, and understanding of animal behavior made every game drive exciting and educational. Having someone like Simba is incredibly valuable for a safari company. The landscapes and wildlife of Maasai Mara are already extraordinary, but the right guide can completely transform the experience. A knowledgeable, patient, and passionate professional like Simba turns a great safari into a truly memorable one. I highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, and if you have the opportunity to have Simba as your guide, you will be in excellent hands. Thank you to Jacklyne, Simba, and the entire Axis Africa team for such a wonderful experience in Kenya!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An Amazing Guide — Peter Kapino ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Guide — Peter Kapino Peter Kapino from African Safari was our guide and driver for our entire one-week Masai Mara trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to accompany us on this incredible journey. Peter is exceptionally knowledgeable. His knowledge of the wildlife is truly impressive—he knows the names, habits, and behaviors of so many birds and animals. He also has wonderful knowledge about trees, plants, nature, and the ecosystem. Every safari drive became an opportunity to learn something new. What made our experience even more special was that Peter didn’t just show us the Masai Mara; he helped us truly understand and experience it. He shared fascinating information about the nearby national parks and forests, village life, local culture, and the beautiful surroundings. Because of him, we were able to appreciate Masai Mara in a much deeper way. Beyond his knowledge, Peter is a very calm, kind, patient, and helpful person. He was always attentive to our needs and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. We genuinely enjoyed his company throughout the entire week. Thank you, Peter, for making our Masai Mara experience so memorable. Your knowledge, kindness, and wonderful nature made our safari even more special. We will always remember this trip and the memories we created with you. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Amazing places, reliable company and tireless guide I chose Axis safari because I saw so many reviews and good words about them. I can confirm everything. From the very beginning they were polite and no pushing me to decide. I found with them a good mix of accommodation and a good price. We did 6 days safari/5 nights: 2 days masai mara, 1 day lake nakuru and 2 in amboseli. We can achieve all the goals: lions, lioness and cubs, rhyno, cheetah and leopard, giraffe, zebras and so many others. Khalifa, our driver, was so tireless. He tried to find every animals we would love to see going everywhere and knowing every corner of the national parks.

Best Safari experience We had a 6 days Safari with Axis to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. We took a shared safari and wouldn’t change it for the private one. It was wonderful to have new friends to talk to and to share the safari experience with. Peter Mungai our Axis sales operator answered all of our questions quikly and we were secured about all the pick up details. Our driver Mohamed was wonderful - he was great driver and also great safari guide. You can tell that He is really enjoying what He is doing. Mohamed made sure that we complete the big five and see everything that we wanted to. He told us a lot about the animals, but also about living in Kenya and all the different stuff we asked about. We were travelling in a new Toyota land cruiser Safari car which was also great. We were staying in Wildest Camp near Masai Mara, Hill Court Hotel near Nakuru and Mountain View Camp near Amboseli. All the places were better than expected for the budget safari. Only in the first camp the hot water was limited, but its understandable. The food through the Safari also was good and there was plenty of it. Best Safari experience that You will get. We recommed You to take Safari with Axis and of course with our guide Mohamed.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

An Unforgettable 8 Day Safari Experience If you are booking a safari with Axis Africa Safaris, you absolutely have to request Charles Pilipili as your guide and driver! We decided to do an 8-day safari that took us from Taita Hills to Amboseli and finally to the Masai Mara, where we spent our final 3 days, and Mr. Pilipili made the entire journey truly unforgettable. From start to finish, he was kind, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly fun to be around. He taught us so much throughout the trip, from the animals we encountered and their behaviors to the land, wildlife, and rich Maasai culture and traditions. His incredible knowledge of the area and wildlife gave us the opportunity to see so many amazing animals and understand not just what we were seeing, but why they behaved the way they did. Mr. Pilipili went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience, always making sure we were comfortable, well taken care of, and safe throughout the entire trip. His attentiveness and responsibility gave us complete peace of mind, while his adventurous personality and Maasai pride made every day even more memorable.

You will truly not regret any part of your experience. Asante sana, Mr. Pilipili!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Brilliant Experience Throughout My family and I had a great time on Axis Africa’s safari tour, which covered the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru. We were able to see all of the animals we wanted to, checking off the big 5 as well as other exciting wildlife. The vehicle we were in allowed us to easily view all the animals at a close distance, and was comfortable too. Our tour guide, Tom, spoke amazing English, providing us with interesting facts and information about all the flora or fauna we witnessed. Not only that, but outside of the park, Tom was amazing at engaging in conversation - his willingness and ability to talk about the Kenyan lifestyle making the longer journeys fly by! The additional cultural aspects, such as the visit to the traditional Masai village, the boat tour and walking safari, and the live feeding of the hippos - were all also very rewarding and complemented the game drives perfectly. I would thoroughly recommend the entire trip.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Axis Safari 5 day Amboseli-Tsavo safari is excellent! We had a fantastic safari and highly recommend this 5 day adventure with Axis Safari. These parks are less crowded than Masai Mara and the animals are more spread out but we still saw all the animals plus new ones including a rare caracal sighting. The mountainous and Savannah scenery is superb as well! Raymond is an excellent driver and guide! He is very efficient at spotting and navigating to the wildlife. He is patient waiting while you observe the animals or are waiting for the animals to reappear. He enjoys telling stories, having a laugh and explaining about the wildlife. Accommodation and food exceeded expectations for a budget safari. Locations inside Tsavo were great and had watering holes where we enjoyed watching the animals during breakfast and dinner.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Una fantastica avventura!! Abbiamo vissuto 6 giorni meravigliosi tra il Lago Naivasha, Aberdare, Masai Mara e il Parco di Nakuru, un viaggio che porteremo per sempre nel cuore. Un grazie speciale alla nostra guida Collin, che parlava italiano e ha saputo coinvolgere e conquistare anche i nostri due bambini di 10 e 6 anni, permettendo loro di vivere appieno questa esperienza davvero unica. Grazie alla sua esperienza e alla sua grande attenzione, siamo riusciti a vedere tutti i Big Five e abbiamo avuto persino la fortuna di assistere alla caccia di un leone, un’emozione difficile da descrivere a parole! Collin è stato sempre disponibile, paziente e attento a ogni nostra esigenza, mettendosi completamente a nostra disposizione. Viaggiare con due bambini non è sempre semplice, ma avere accanto una persona così disponibile ha fatto davvero la differenza.

Breathtaking wildlife safari. Highly recommend Axis! I found Axis, and booked 6-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli trip with them. it is an amazing trip! Our driver/guide Hassan is very good — always trying to find big games for us and the right angle/spot for us to take pictures, driving safely, and adjusting the itinerary to maximize our wildlife viewing time. We saw great migration, lion killing wildebeest, cheetah up close, leopard, Southern white rhino and rare black rhino, herds of elephants, flamingos, pelicans, and many more! This tour hits all the highlights in Kenya. Highly recommended. Overall, a very good experience. A few downsides: The drivers in Masai Mara are very aggressive to chase lions and the herds of wildebeests when they were trying to cross river (not our driver). And we could not see the actual river crossing scene! It affects the overall experience of great migration on the Masai side. The Serengeti side is much better. But this is not the tour or our guide fault. And this tour mixes guests with different hotel and meal packages into one group, so it is a bit awkward when some guests can eat hot meal in a restaurant while we can only eat lunch box in the car. We did not realize that different packages come with very different food choices as well. Be careful when you choose their packages. Finally, the program listed a final pre-breakfast game drive in Amboseli on the last day, since Kilimanjaro finally came out the last day, but we did not get to do this last game drive, so we missed the iconic picture of herds of elephants in front of Kilimanjaro.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great 6-day safari in 3 parks jn Kenya We did a 6-day safari (Masaai Mara + Nakuru + Naivasha + Amboseli). 6 people group in private Jeep. The agency is very reactive and precise during organization phase. Well organized for pickup and drop off. Good experience in all the parks, good accomodations selected - I would recommend the medium level accomodations for both comfort and overnight access to electricity to charge your devices. Amazing guide (Hassan): excellent driver, very interesting information and conversations, able to adapt plans quickly and always suggest the best option. Most important: VERY respectful of rules inside the parks, never chased animals (unlike some other guides...). Given the great experience we had, Axis offered an amazing value for money.

Our booking process started with sending them a message here on this website and they replied pretty quick with specific information about the tour duration, stops, stays and prices. We asked them to make some changes to our quote to include an extra day and they gave us the new price right away. They reached out to us ~2 weeks before our safari to confirm everything and then reached out ~2 days before our arrival with information about pick up time, driver name and stuff like that. Overall, the communication was great and I appreciate them reaching out to confirm everything. Shout out to our guide, Leonard, what a fantastic guy. His attitude during this trip was amazing and he helped us find 4 out of the big 5 in the Masai Mara. He was in constant communication with the other guides to ask what they had seen so we could go there and see the same things as well. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw the only leopard people spotted that day. Thank you Leonard for taking us through Masai Mara. Overall, great experience and we would book with them again without questions.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Unforgettable Memories of Our Masai Mara Trip Hello, I am Pradeep Murti from San Francisco. I booked a Masai Mara package with Axis Africa Safaris in August 2026, and I would like to share my experience. First, I would like to appreciate the excellent support provided by Lucy before our trip began. We initially booked the trip for seven people, which was later reduced to four, and finally three, due to unforeseen circumstances. Lucy helped us process the refunds for those who could not join the trip. When our journey finally began, our Emirates flight was delayed by one and a half days. Despite the last-minute disruption, Lucy went above and beyond to help us adjust our itinerary. She coordinated with two resorts to modify our bookings just one day before our arrival and also arranged for us to be picked up directly from the airport instead of the hotel, as originally planned. We truly appreciated her prompt support and flexibility during a stressful situation. I would especially like to recognize our guide, Ahmed Mohamed. This was our first visit to Masai Mara, and we had an unforgettable experience exploring this beautiful part of Africa. Words are not enough to express our gratitude to Ahmed. He was energetic, cheerful, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely down-to-earth throughout the entire trip. From the moment he picked us up at the airport until the day he dropped us off, Ahmed was patient, professional, and always willing to help. He guided us through sightseeing, game drives, and the national parks, ensured we had refreshments and breaks whenever needed, and was always punctual. His ability to adjust the itinerary based on our interests and the available time was exceptional. Even after we lost one and a half days because of the flight delay, Ahmed went above and beyond to make sure we still covered all the destinations we had originally planned. Thanks to his careful planning and dedication, we were able to visit Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha without missing any of the major highlights. Ahmed took us to different parts of Masai Mara to maximize our chances of seeing wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we were fortunate enough to see a lion pride, cheetahs, rhinos (including a baby rhino), a herd of elephants with playful baby elephants, flamingos, and many other incredible animals that Masai Mara is famous for. When we expressed interest in visiting a Maasai village to meet the local tribes, Ahmed arranged the visit quickly and seamlessly. One of my biggest wishes was to see the Great Migration. Although several people told Ahmed that the migration was not taking place at that time and that there was no point in visiting the Mara River, he still took us there and patiently explained everything about the migration and the ecosystem. I truly appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile to make our experience complete. Ahmed also carried a professional camera with a powerful telephoto lens. He generously allowed us to use his camera to capture stunning close-up photographs of wildlife that would have been impossible with our own equipment. Later, he even shared those beautiful photos with us, which was an incredibly thoughtful gesture. Overall, what began as a stressful trip due to unexpected flight delays turned into one of the most memorable vacations we've ever had, thanks to Ahmed and the outstanding support from Axis Africa Safaris. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ahmed Mohamed as a guide to anyone planning a safari with Axis Africa Safaris. His knowledge, professionalism, patience, and dedication made our trip truly exceptional. I am confident that anyone who travels with Ahmed will have an unforgettable experience. Once again, thank you, Ahmed and Axis Africa Safaris, for making this journey so special. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Axis is the best! Axis Safari is the best! I booked our family’s private safari from the Netherlands, entirely remotely. Tabitha responded to all of my questions promptly and was incredibly helpful throughout the process. Everyone was very friendly, reliable, and everything was well organized. Our game drives with our guide, Richard/Nkoile (Masai name), were absolutely amazing. As a Masai himself, he was able to share a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and their behavior. He was also exceptional at spotting animals. Thanks to his expertise, we saw all of the Big Five! In many cases, we were the first to arrive at sightings, giving us the chance to observe the animals up close and take fantastic photos without the crowds. I highly recommend Axis Safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience!!Posted on Google![]()

I would not recommend Axis Safari. Our trip was badly let down by poor organisation and a driver who seemed clueless. He took us nearly two hours out of our way towards Nairobi so another uknown driver could collect us, causing unnecessary delays and inconvenience. It was all just a big mess and ruined our schedule and left a bad taste. The company advertises the Maasai village visit as "optional", but that wasn't our experience. We were made to wake up at 6am and wait around for other passengers who chose to go. This is not optional. When we questioned why our itinerary and route were being changed, the driver gave different explanations to different passengers instead of providing a clear and honest answer. That level of dishonesty and lack of communication is completely unprofessional. The most disappointing part was the company's response. We raised our concerns, but nothing was done to put things right. Once they had our money, it felt like they no longer cared about the customer service There are plenty of safari companies to choose from. Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.Posted on Google![]()

Leonard was a brilliant guide - very kind, always gave us as much time as we wanted to look at different animals and knowledgeable. Unfortunately our second guide was less knowledgeable, at times seemed to be in a rush and kept asking us to write him a good review at the endPosted on Google![]()

It's a nice experience to have a safari trip with this agency. It's my first time with safari touransd it's a good decision. I'd like to thank a staff there, her name's Prudence Joy. She provided necessary details for booking, related concerns for our safari and etc. My friend and I didn't meet her when we're at office. We'd say if you are interested in safari, this agency's nice.Posted on Google![]()

We had an absolutely outstanding safari experience, made even more memorable by our guide, Ben. His knowledge of wildlife, keen eye for spotting animals, and passion for nature were truly exceptional. Ben went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience, sharing fascinating insights and making every game drive exciting and enjoyable. His professionalism, friendliness, and dedication made this one of the highlights of our trip. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Maurine for her tremendous support throughout the booking process. From the initial planning stages to answering our questions and ensuring every detail was arranged perfectly, Maurine's responsiveness, professionalism, and guidance made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Her support played a significant role in making our safari adventure such a success. The combination of Ben's outstanding guiding skills and Maurine's exceptional customer service created an unforgettable experience for our family. We highly recommend both Ben and the entire team to anyone looking for a truly memorable safari adventure. Thank you, Ben and Maurine, for helping create incredible memories that we will cherish for years to come! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Posted on Google![]()

We engaged Axis Africa for a 6-day safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We were incredibly lucky to have Kelvin Waigi as our guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate, not just about animals and birds, but about Kenya as a whole. Throughout our journey, even during the long drives between destinations, we learnt so much about the different villages, towns, culture, and way of life in Kenya. Kelvin was always patient and able to answer all our questions with great insight. Beyond his knowledge, Kelvin took excellent care of us throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had the best possible experience. Our safari days were long and often ended late, but Kelvin never once lost his enthusiasm or passion. His dedication and love for what he does truly made the trip even more special. Anyone would be very lucky to have Kelvin as their guide. We highly recommend Axis Africa and Kelvin to anyone looking to embark on a safari in Kenya. Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories that we will always cherish!Posted on Google![]()

A childhood dream come true We did the 7-day safari from the Masai Mara to Amboseli National Park, and it was an unforgettable experience. We were lucky enough to spot the Big Five, along with countless other animals, and the scenery throughout the journey was simply breathtaking. A special mention goes to our guide and driver, Kelvin Mimi. He knew the area perfectly without needing GPS, seemed to know everyone along the way, and was incredibly knowledgeable. He could identify not only all the animals but also many bird species, and we learned so much from him during the trip. One piece of advice: do at least a 5-day safari if possible, ideally including Hell's Gate National Park. It gives you a much more complete experience. Amboseli National Park is a paradise for elephant lovers, and there are some fantastic glamping experiences available there as well. I chose this agency because they responded quickly on WhatsApp, were flexible with arrangements, and proved reliable throughout the entire trip. Overall, I can highly recommend them. A couple of small tips: If you need twin beds, make sure to request them in advance. The food is good and plentiful, but don't expect a fine-dining experience: you're there for the wildlife and adventure. Book it, enjoy it, and hakuna matata! 🦁🐘🌍Posted on Google![]()

A good budget option. We saw the big 5, accomodation was good. Food was good most of the time depending on the accomodation. Things I didnt like, they tried to add another person into our room, which they would never do with a couple, they rectified this after the first night but it was very cheeky they tried to save some money and stick us with a random person which we did for 1 night, even though they mentioned if you are single you pay the single supplement. Another thing I really disliked the village/tribe tour, its a huge scam, they don't even live there, dont give them any money or buy anything. Our guide was good, great at driving and knowledgable but most people in the back of the jeep couldn't hear him. I would recommend 4/5 day safari maximum, its alot of driving and gets repetitive/less exciting the longer you go.Posted on Google![]()

Our safari in Maasai Mara National Reserve was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our driver, Roger. He was amazing throughout the entire trip — always professional, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. We felt completely safe at all times while driving, even on challenging roads. Roger went above and beyond to make sure we saw as many animals as possible, and thanks to his dedication and sharp eye, we had incredible wildlife sightings. He was patient, friendly, and clearly passionate about giving guests the best safari experience possible. I highly recommend Axis and Roger to anyone planning a safari in the Maasai Mara. He truly made our trip special. P.S. The Land cruiser used was in great conditions and always clean.Posted on Google![]()

I want to give zero star to this company. Yaseen(Yasin) their guide was unprofessional and fought with us. No Indian should go along with this company. They were racist and the main company office was also the same. No great support. Let me explain - Worst guide ever. He was an absolute shame to the profession and completely ruined what should have been an enjoyable trip. During the trip, he behaved very unprofessionally and even got into an argument with me and my wife, which was extremely uncomfortable and unacceptable for a guide who is supposed to make guests feel welcome and safe. What made the experience even worse was his clear partiality and discriminatory attitude toward us because we are Indian. His behavior felt disrespectful and biased, which is completely unacceptable in the hospitality and tourism industry. A guide represents the company and the destination, and unfortunately his conduct reflected very poorly on both. I strongly suggest the company take this feedback seriously and ensure that guides are trained to treat all guests with professionalism and respect.Posted on Google![]()

*5 stars ⭐* I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Kenya in Feb 2026 with Axis Africa Expedition and Safaris Limited, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience! 🌟 Ms. Rita from Axis Africa was incredibly patient and responsive, answering all my queries and helping us navigate a trip interruption due to flight cancellation. Her efforts ensured our itinerary remained unchanged. The 6-day safari package covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli was phenomenal. Our guide Mr. Kelvin Mimi, was exceptional. Mr. Kelvin's knowledge of wildlife and sense of humor made our trip to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru truly special. We spotted the Big 5 and Ugly 5, witnessed lions hunting, and saw hyenas steal their meal - an incredible sight! The accommodations were top-notch, especially Manjaro Tented Camp in Amboseli, which exceeded our expectations. With Mr. Peter Kapino as guide for Amboseli, the birdwatching experience was great, and we even spotted a cheetah in action, over and above watching elephant herds and views of mighty Kilimanjaro. Overall, Axis Africa Expedition and Safaris Limited delivered an amazing experience. Highly recommended for their expertise and personalized service. Thank you, Axis Africa, for an incredible safari adventure!Posted on Google![]()

We had an amazing 3 day tour with Yasin. We called him King the whole time because he was so great. Very patient and accommodating with our group's schedule. We got to see so many animals and he took us to all the best spots for food and souvenirs. He also recommended that we see the Masai Mara village, which ended up being one of my favorite parts. It was such a cool and educational experience. Definitely would recommend going with this company!Posted on Google![]()

We had the best 3 day tour with Yasin! Words cant capture the view of the safari. Yasin was very well known with the grounds and knew great spots to take us. He as well did a wonderful job at teaching us about all the animals we saw and cool facts. He was by far one of the best guides I have been with! We also got to see a Masai Mara village and he made sure we were with the right guide and was getting education out of it. I 100% would recommend!Posted on Google![]()

We (my partner and I) were part of a safari tour that lasted 6 days, 5 nights in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru (we were supposed to go to Naivasha but we didn't) and Amboseli. Let me start with the positives first... during this tour we managed to see all the big 5 and ugly 5 animals, as well as many other ones, met interesting people along the way and managed to take pictures and record content that will serve as eternal memories of these wonderful places. While I don't regret doing this tour, I have to leave my honest comment and complain about the following… Our guide Dennis made this trip less than perfect with his inappropriate behavior. From the very beginning, he did not get off his phone, he was not in the mood for a friendly conversation (on the contrary, he made rude comments on several occasions), and when he did talk, he was so quiet that if you weren't sitting next to him, you couldn't hear him. At some point I gave up trying to hear him altogether and just watched what was going on outside the vehicle. On top of that, on the third day of the safari, when the optional boat ride on Lake Naivasha was planned, Dennis decided not to tell anyone that we would skip this ride due to the alleged bad weather. Although optional, this would've been our only activity on that day. Later, I found out that people from other tours were actually going on boat rides during this day. Dennis preferred to talk on the phone during the lunch breaks, which were taking too long for no reason. So long, that upon arriving at the hotel in Nakuru, after a 7-8 hour drive from Masai Mara, the hotel pool was not working because we arrived too late. Even though we had no other activities on that day. So on day 3, we were pretty much just driving in the vehicle with no activities. On the following day, after doing an early morning game drive in Nakuru, we were informed that we had to change vehicles and continue our tour with another group. At the place where we were having lunch and where we were supposed to change vehicles, Dennis was rushing us while we were eating (literally 5 min from the start of the break). The other guide was more friendly but was driving like a mad man, and we felt quite unsafe in the vehicle driving for another 7 or 8 hours from Nakuru to Amboseli. So on days 3 AND 4, we were just driving around doing nothing except for an early morning drive in Nakuru. Only later did I find out that most of these budget safari companies work together and that in case one company does not have enough passengers on a certain day, it will use the services and employees of another company, and mix their passengers with people who booked through another company. Which is something that we would not accept and agree on, if we had known in advance. Axis did offer us a tour of lake Naivasha free of charge at a later date, but we couldn't accept it because our schedule did not work. The communication with the company in general was clear, but we had to remind them of a couple of things during the booking process and later. I would repeat a safari tour with a budget company only if I were staying in the same place for several days (Masai Mara for example).Posted on Google![]()

I really enjoyed the 3D2N Safari to Masai Mara with Brian. He is a very good driver and passionate guide. He never struggled while driving on tough roads and he constantly made sure that everybody was happy. We managed to see all big 5 and many more so if it would be your first safari - I totally recommend it. The organization and booking process was smooth and straight-forward. I’m usually not a big fan of organized tours but this one was a very pleasant experience. I opted for a budget accommodation and stayed at Sankale Mara Camp - the tent was nice, private toilet was clean, food was decent and enough for everyone - it was definitely all you needed for an authentic experience.Posted on Google![]()

The safari in Masai Mara was great, our guide Khalifa was extremely committed to find the animals also following them to see how they live and behave. We saw, very close, almost all the animals we wanted. We definitely recommend Khalifa as your tour guide. The Sankale camp was good and it has private bathroom. The communication with Tabhita via WhatsApp was very fluid and effficient. From our persepective trip to Masai Mara from Nairobi, was quite long with many shopping stop that nobody was really into. The overall experience was good and worth it. We recommend this company and definitely Khalifa as a tour guide.Posted on Google![]()

Our 7-day safari in Kenya was absolutely incredible and exceeded our expectations in every way! It was truly the adventure of a lifetime — breathtaking landscapes, amazing wildlife, and an atmosphere that’s hard to put into words. A huge reason why this safari was 1,000 times better than we ever imagined was our guide Roger. He is the best guide we could have asked for — wonderful, professional, and truly dedicated. From day one, he took great care of us and our comfort, was extremely helpful in every situation, explained everything clearly, and made us feel safe and well looked after at all times. Roger has an amazing energy, a lot of knowledge, and incredible instincts — thanks to him, we saw things we would definitely have missed on our own. He is truly the right person for this job, and he made the whole safari feel special. We wholeheartedly recommend it — if anyone is thinking about it, it’s 100% worth it!Posted on Google![]()

He was highly engaged in helping us see as many animals as possible, always positioning the car perfectly for great views and photos. He is also very communicative and friendly.

I grew up watching National Geographic, Animal Planet, and Discovery, and visiting Africa had always been my biggest dream and right at the top of my bucket list. That dream couldn’t have been executed any better than as a family, with my 10-month-old, my wife, and my in-laws, by Axis Africa. I went into this trip with no real plan, just a dream. Travelling with a 10-month-old is no joke. From the very first enquiry on WhatsApp to the prompt late-night responses by Tabitha, every concern I had was patiently addressed. A highly customised itinerary was built piece by piece, always keeping the comfort and safety of my child as the top priority. Not only was Axis Africa incredibly prompt and meticulous in crafting our trip just one week before travel, they also turned out to be the best value for money compared to three other operators we explored, for what I would truly call an all-inclusive, exclusive, private, and safe experience. The premium stays (Curio Hilton, Sand River by Elewana, Serena Sweetwaters, Fairmont Kenya Safari Club) were exceptional, and I haven’t even gotten to the best part yet. Our guide, Mr. Kevin Apidi. We have travelled to quite a few places around the world, both self-driven and guided, and all I can say is this, Kenya has to be experienced via a tour operator, and this was hands down the best guided experience we’ve ever had. Kevin was with us from day one until the very end. His large safari jeep was equipped with a car seat for my baby, and words cannot explain just how perfect he was in every way, extremely professional, exceptionally well-spoken, highly knowledgeable and informative, and most importantly, genuinely kind, accommodating, and sensitive to every situation. By the end of our nine-day trip, he felt like part of our family. We visited Kenya during the off-season in late November, and honestly, it couldn’t have been better. It felt more exclusive and private. Cut to the chase, Kevin ensured we saw all of the Big Five up close, and even what I would call the Big Nine. My dream unfolded better than I ever imagined. No GPS, no tracking, just 16 years of experience, instinct, and hard work behind the incredible person he is. The entire experience felt nothing short of magical. We are deeply grateful to Axis Africa for assigning Kevin to us, and to Tabitha for overseeing the entire trip, from our very first conversation to seamless coordination with all the hotels, making the journey completely hassle-free for us, especially while travelling with elders and a baby. During the trip, we celebrated my wife’s birthday and my son’s 10-monthversary. We couldn’t have chosen a better destination or a better tour operator. Wishing Axis Africa, Tabitha, and Kevin Apidi continued success and growth. God bless abundantly. 11/10.Posted on Google![]()

We had the most incredible experience with Axis Safaris. I’ve been lucky enough to go on safari twice before, but nothing has ever compared to this. Our guide, Khalifa, was outstanding. His knowledge of the Maasai Mara is unbelievable, and somehow we were always the first at every major sighting. He kept us safe and was respectful of the wildlife at all times, pulling us away if crowds of jeeps were getting too close to the animals, and answered every single one of our (many!) questions with patience and humour. He’s funny, genuinely lovely, and clearly well respected across the safari community. Everywhere we went, people knew him. A huge thank you also to Tabitha, who was so patient while we took our time deciding on an itinerary. She was incredibly responsive throughout the whole planning process, and even lovelier when we met her in person. I’d recommend Axis Safaris to absolutely anyone. 10/10 experience from start to finish.Posted on Google![]()

This review is for Richard and Cynthia. Cynthia organised everything so systematically and takes hospitality very seriously. We were travelling from USA and her communication was always top notch. She always tried to help us to best of her capabilities. Richard was our safari guide who got us to see the most wonderful things including a failed leopard attempt to attack a gazelle and another leopard eating away its kill on a tree. He was always punctual, told us about the Masai ways (he is one) and was always up for driving a bit more to spot things. He is the best.

We chose a 6-day, 5-night safari with the itinerary Masai Mara (2 nights) – Lake Nakuru (1 night) – Amboseli (2 nights), classified as a mid-range package. The accommodations, however, were far beyond our expectations – truly beautiful and exceeding what you would normally expect from a mid-range safari. A very special mention goes to our guide and driver Reimond, who was absolutely amazing and tireless. Thanks to his deep knowledge of the parks and wildlife, we were able to spot all of the Big Five multiple times and so much more – we counted around 40 different species! Reimond consistently brought us to the right places first, ensuring we had the best views. His professionalism, dedication, and insightful explanations made our experience unforgettable. The jeep provided was also perfect: spacious, comfortable even for 8 people, and capable of tackling any type of road, making the journey even more pleasant and safe. Every detail of the program was perfectly respected. If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, look no further than Axis Africa Safaris – impeccable organization, excellent accommodations, top-quality vehicles, and exceptional guides like Reimond will make your adventure truly unforgettable.Posted on Google![]()

We just completed an incredible 6-day safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli , and it was truly the experience of a lifetime! We were lucky to complete the Big Five by the second day itself in Masai Mara, which was simply amazing. We saw lions in all three national parks, and one of the highlights was capturing a stunning view of elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background at Amboseli , absolutely breathtaking! A huge shoutout to our guide, Jack – he was phenomenal. Extremely knowledgeable, kind, and full of energy throughout the trip. His passion for wildlife and deep understanding of the parks made every game drive exciting and memorable. He always went the extra mile to make sure we didn’t miss a thing. I’ll definitely be back for another adventure and will 100% go with the same company again , Axis Africa Safaris.

We did a private 6-day safari with Axis, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and it was the trip of a lifetime. One of the things we loved most was the flexibility to tailor the safari exactly to our needs and to choose the lodges we liked. Tabitha was a huge help throughout the planning process—always responsive, transparent with prices, and incredibly supportive in guiding us to make the best choices. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and we didn’t encounter a single issue. Our guide, Ahmed, was the heart of this journey and made it truly unforgettable. He exceeded every expectation we had—always on time, approachable, friendly, and endlessly patient. His English was excellent, so communication was never an issue, and he was very knowledgeable not only about wildlife but also about local culture, which gave us a much deeper appreciation of the places we visited. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible variety of animals and learned so much along the way. What stood out most was Ahmed’s passion for his job—you could feel how much he genuinely loves what he does every time we went out on a game drive. He always went the extra mile to fulfill our wishes and to make sure we had the best possible experience. On top of being an exceptionally safe driver, he has a wonderful personality: kind, fun, easy to talk to, and someone who felt more like a friend than just a guide. We simply enjoyed every moment of this trip with him and can’t imagine a better guide. We would absolutely come back and do this safari again in a heartbeat, and without hesitation, we’d choose Axis and especially Ahmed.

본 업체를 선택하기 전 충분히 고민하시기 바랍니다. 1) 업체 사무실에서 현금으로 대금을 지불했습니다만, 사전에 거스름돈을 준비하지 않아 20분 정도 기다려야 했습니다. 미리 연락을 하고 방문했음에도 이런 일이 발생하였습니다. 2) 사파리 투어 안내와 실제 경험에 다른 부분이 있었습니다. 업체 설명에 따르면, 마사이 빌리지 방문을 원하지 않는 경우, 숙소에서 휴식을 취할 수 있다고 했습니다. 그러나 실제 투어를 하면 마사이 빌리지에 가지 않을 경우 차량에서 한 시간 동안 대기해야 했습니다. 가이드에게 숙소로 데려다 달라고 요청하였지만 가이드는 차로 10분 거리에 있는 숙소에 가는 것을 거부하였습니다. 3) 가이드와 사무실간 연락이 원활하지 않아 여러 번 오류가 발생하였습니다. 저희 일행은 호텔에 도착해 20분을 기다리고도 입실하지 못했습니다. 사무실에서 호텔을 사전에 예약하지 않았고, 이 점을 가이드에게 미리 통지하지 않았기 때문입니다. 그 일행은 결국 다른 호텔로 뒤늦게 이동해야 했습니다. 4) 업체에서 예약한 캠핑 숙소에서 3일 동안 오염된 물이 나와 숙소 교체를 요청하였으나 거부 당하였습니다. 이후 관련하여 별도의 설명을 요청하였지만 업체에서는 "확인 중이다"라는 말만 반복한 채 투어가 끝날 때까지 답변을 하지 않았습니다. 5) 보트 투어를 진행하는 동안 가이드가 사라져, 보트 투어가 끝난 이후에 참가자들은 가이드를 오랫동안 기다려야 했습니다. 이동 중에도 은행 앞에서 30분 이상 대기하기도 했습니다. 가이드의 설명에 따르면 '호텔에 납부해야할 요금이 처리 되지 않았다'고 했습니다. 투어 가격은 타 업체에 비해 합리적이고, 직원들 역시 친절하였습니다. 그러나 많은 불편사항 또한 발생할 수 있음을 사전에 인지하시기 바랍니다.Posted on Google![]()

So the 1 star comes primarily because of our guide/driver Mr. Ali followed by the coordinator Ms. Tabitha…Of course Tabitha had shown patience all throughout with me till the time she received the full payment and then after the safari started, it was all “passing the ball” to Mr . Ali…. Ali is probably someone who doesn’t give a shit about his clients… there were NO communications .. our hotel changed all of a sudden and we were informed 20 mins prior… while returning suddenly we were told we have to shift to a new car(which Ali and Tabitha) didn’t bother communicating before. We were literally “dumped” to another travel agency vehicle saying our lunch and hotel drop was organised. To out surprise we found out, it had not been communicated to this new driver neither the lunch nor the drop…on reaching back to Tabitha she clearly said she had NO IDEA and Ali had made the arrangements. We literally had to struggle to get this new driver to drop us.. There had been no communication from either of them… the vehicle given was bad… broke down even before we reached Masai Mara.. and to top it all Mr. Ali will only take you to the places where he will see other jeeps flocking by… will do the entire trip on his whims and fancies as if he is doing you a big favour not even telling you before hand what to do the next day.. u literally have to beg it out of him… and Ms. Tabitha (although she was supportive towards the end after the damage was done and we sorted things out)will have no idea about anything post she takes the money, because well, Mr. Ali is in charge. They put us with groups who didnot have same destination plans .. not to mention the arrogance of Mr. Ali(in sufferable know it all).Have your warning bells on if Mr. Ali is your guide.Posted on Google![]()

Axis - a fantastic option for your safari After doing a good amount of research, we decided to book a three day/two night safari with Axis. We were so impressed!! From the very beginning, communication was prompt and efficient regarding booking the trip and figuring out the specific details of everything. Tabitha did a great job emailing with us. And the actual safari was amazing!! It was all very well organized and communicated - no hiccups or misunderstandings. Ali is a fantastic guide who took great care in showing us all the animals, as well as driving us to and back from the Mara and organizing all the details at the camp. He‘s an incredibly hard worker who has lots of experience doing safaris, and he really knew when to sit and wait for something to happen (a cheetah catching a baby gazelle) or when to move on and look for other animals in the area. I would most definitely book again with Axis and request Ali as my guide - 10 out of 5 stars!! :) thank you for the amazing adventure, Ali, Tabitha and the whole team at Axis!Posted on Google![]()

A perfectly organized four-day safari to Masai Mara and Nakuru. Huge thanks to our guide Tonny, thanks to whom we saw an incredible number of wild animals—everything we wished to see, including the great wildebeest migration. The herds of zebras in the river and the large group of elephants he tirelessly searched for us were fantastic. Thanks to him, we now have a unforgettable experience. Also, many thanks to Tabitha and her colleagues in the office—communication was smooth and hassle-free. Everything that was promised was delivered.Posted on Google![]()

AVOID TOM AT ALL COSTS !! We took the masai mara - Naivasha - Nakuru 5 days safari starting 23 rd June 2025. The tour was okay , the start was little late and rough but not too much to complain. Monika , our tour manager was very nice and efficient . The real rough time started with our driver cum guide .. a man called Tom . He was obnoxious , rude , uncaring , pompous fellow , we cant comment on his professionalism as he did not display any . He changed our itinerary on his own , we were suppose to go to masai village on day 3 , he made us visit the masai village on day 1 when we were dead tired after a long drive . Similarly he changed the itinerary of day 3 and day 4 .. and when questioned about it , started arguing with glaring eyes and harsh tone . At times he left us in the vehicle and was absent for long durations . At Hells Gate national park he left us and vanished for more than one hour at the entrance ... . all the tourists who arrived after us were able to get entry into the park but for us , and when questioned about it , he got angry . The tour could have been much much better if we had any other driver cum guide .Posted on Google![]()

We just got back from a 10-day safari across Kenya with Axis Africa, and it was an incredible experience. Rita helped us plan everything in advance and was super responsive and helpful. Once we landed, our guide Ben took over and was with us throughout the trip. He was reliable, knowledgeable, and always calm under pressure. The hotels were phenomenal, the itinerary was well thought out, and the entire trip was great value for money. Highly recommend Axis Africa if you’re planning a Kenya safari.Posted on Google![]()

Our trip to Masai Mara was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five and even partially witness the migration – an incredible sight. We spent 2 nights and 3 days in the reserve, and Axis handled everything seamlessly, from initial communication and hotel transfers to park transport, accommodation, and meals. The entire process was smooth and well-organized. We stayed at Wild Nest Mara Camp, which was a lovely and comfortable place. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the location and facilities were excellent. The only reason we’re not giving a full score is because of our guide. While he did his job as a driver, he didn’t offer much information unless we asked specific questions. We had hoped for more background and insight into the park, the wildlife, and the region, which we feel is an important part of the experience. Others in our group shared the same opinion. Additionally, the jeep we traveled in seemed quite outdated compared to others we saw in the park. Despite this, the overall experience was amazing, and we’ll cherish the memories forever.Posted on Google![]()

Safari was 5/5⭐️ because we saw the big 5 and went to nice places. Driver (Ben) was 1/5⭐️ because he didn’t care about us a a group, he never talked with us, just when we asked something, he made us wait for 45 mins without saying anything and then he couldn’t even say sorry, he was very unsympathetic and cold, and when you experience a safari just once in your life, then this should not be your driver !!! because „the driver makes the safari“Posted on Google![]()

My boyfriend and I went on the private Safari to Masai Mara which was AMAZING! The communication with Axis was very nice and flexible which made it possible to easily pick the best option for us. Our experience with our driver Sammie Hinga was wonderful! Sammie is a wonderful and vibrant person and knows a lot about the animals, nature & culture and has taught us many new things in a lovely way. We've seen amazing wildlife up-close during our safari thanks to Sammie's expertise and driving skills. We would 100% recommend booking a safari through Axis again with Sammie as preferred driver(🙏🏻) and are already thinking about when we can do it again!Posted on Google![]()

Our Safari was for over eight days with 3 night stay in Masai Mara, one night in Nakuru, one night in Naivasha and two nights in Amboseli. My sincere appreciation to Cynthia for charting out a very good itinerary . The choice of the hotels and guide was all very good. Special appreciation for Marcos the guide who has an exceptional knowledge of the plants and animals. He is also a very nice person and it was a pleasure knowing him. All praises for Axis Sarai and their team.Posted on Google![]()

Der Kontakt mit Axis Africa vorab war sehr angenehm & professionell und ich habe immer eine schnelle Rückmeldung bekommen. Wir haben uns für die 3D/2N Masai Mara Group Budget Safari entschieden. Das Sankale Camp war gut, alle Zelte haben private Badezimmer und das Essen war sehr lecker. Die Safari war toll, wir haben unheimlich viele Tiere aus nächster Nähe sehen können. Löwen, Leoparden, Geparden, Elefanten… sehr beeindruckend! Unser Guide Roger ist ein sehr guter Autofahrer, der auch auf schlammigen Wegen immer sicher unterwegs war. Der Jeep war komfortabel, mit großen Fenstern, Pop Up Roof und der Möglichkeit das Handy zu laden. Wir waren etwas verwundert, dass der „Full Day Game Drive“ am zweiten Tag nur bis 15.30 Uhr ging - darauf sollte man im Programm hinweisen, denn der Park hat bis 18.30 Uhr geöffnet, weshalb wir davon ausgingen, dass wir auch den ganzen Tag dort verbringen. Roger war distanziert und war sehr darauf bedacht die Konversation mit der Gruppe auf ein Minimum zu beschränken. Er hat etwas genervt gewirkt und hatte keine Lust mit uns zu interagieren. Außerdem haben wir gesehen, dass er den Müll während der Fahrt aus dem Fenster geschmissen hat (außerhalb des Masai Mara Game Reserve).Posted on Google![]()

The safari was very well organised. We were picked up at our place and were braught to the place we needed to be. Roger was an excellent driver and showed us lots of different animals in the Maasi Mara. I would do again a Safari for 3 days with them. All in all also the accomodation they have chosen was comfortable.Posted on Google![]()

I recently went on a 3-day safari in the Masai Mara with Axis Africa Safaris, and it was an unforgettable experience! One of the best aspects of this safari was the price—compared to other companies, it was very reasonable and offered great value for money. Despite the affordability, the accommodation and the 4x4 Land Cruiser vehicle were top-notch, on par with much more expensive operators. The tent we stayed in was fantastic, with a comfortable queen-sized bed and warm covers—the best sleep I’ve had in weeks! It was also equipped with a personal shower that had warm water and a western-style toilet, which made the stay even more comfortable. The food at the campsite was delicious, offering a variety of local dishes served buffet-style, and there were plenty of plugs available to charge our devices, which was super convenient. Our driver, Ken, was a real highlight of the trip. He was not only a skilled driver, navigating the rough roads smoothly and getting us to each destination on time, but he was also incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we had the amazing luck of seeing a wide range of animals, including a rare sighting of two leopards! Some of the highlights were watching lion cubs with their mothers, seeing giraffes at sunset, observing cheetahs begin their hunt, and witnessing lions feeding on a buffalo. Ken had a keen eye for spotting wildlife and communicated effectively with other drivers to ensure we didn’t miss any key sightings. His friendly and fun personality made the experience all the more enjoyable. Overall, this was an excellent safari, and I highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris to anyone looking for an affordable yet unforgettable adventure in the Masai Mara.Posted on Google![]()

There were so many Safari businesses out there and I am glad that I found Axis. The service was outstanding Rita kept me updated on any changes to my 4 day Safari before I arrived. She gave us a break down of the day to day actives which was good to know. Then Kevin who was our Safari driver was great he made sure we were good on everything and was very informative. I am glad I found this company and I highly suggest people use Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris.Posted on Google![]()

We are just on our way back from a 3 day Maasai Mara Safari with Axis Africa. We have had an amazing trip and will remember this for a lifetime. I was unsure if taking three kids (6, 6 and 18months) was a crazy thing to do but from first enquiries we were reassured we would be well taken care of. We upgraded last minute to a private safari to avoid stressing other travellers and this took the stress off us as parents. The price was also very reasonable compared to other companies I had seen advertised. Our guide Jack was a dream. He took such good care of us and the kids. His local connections and love of the area were clear to see. He explained all of the animals we saw for us and made things interesting for the kids and made sure we got to see as much as possible on our trip. He also made us feel completely at ease when the kids were throwing a tantrum or we were running late and trying to hurry the kids along. He ordered lunches for us for picnics and collected them when we were behind schedule and found us seats in restaurants while we were still getting the kids out of the jeep. Thank you Jack for everything over the last couple of days and thanks to Axis Africa for organising the trip of a lifetime for us. Emma xPosted on Google![]()

We did a 3 day budget tour to Masai Mara in a Landcruiser 4wd. There were many other tours out there as well as us. More than we were expecting. However the opportunity to see so many animals in their natural environment was a truly wonderful experience. Axis provided a first rate tour and we were very well catered for.Posted on Google![]()

I had the privilege of embarking on a safari with Axis Africa Expedition and safari in the mesmerizing Masai Mara, and it was an experience beyond words. From the moment we set foot in this breathtaking wilderness, our tour guide, Kevin, made sure it was nothing short of extraordinary. Kevin's expertise and passion for the wildlife and ecosystem of the Masai Mara were evident in every moment of our journey. His extensive knowledge about the animals, their behaviors, and the region's history added a profound layer to our adventure. He effortlessly turned every sighting into a captivating story, making it not just a safari but a true educational experience. What truly set Kevin apart was his unwavering commitment to ensuring we had the best possible time. His patience, keen eye, and determination to track down even the most elusive creatures left us in awe. Whether it was witnessing the Great Migration or a thrilling predator-prey interaction, Kevin always seemed to know the perfect spot for us to be. Moreover, his warm and friendly demeanor made us feel like we were exploring the Masai Mara with an old friend. He shared insightful anecdotes, answered our endless questions, and ensured our safety and comfort throughout the journey. The overall experience from booking the safari to being dropped back was seamless and prompt. I didn’t face any hassle throughout my journey.Posted on Google![]()

We did a 4 day safari and travelled to Nairobi from the UAE! Lennox was great to deal with via email and always replied promptly. Once we arrived in Nairobi, we were greeted by a driver who took us to the Axis Africa Safaris offices, from there we met out safari guide Amos and we set off on our 4 day adventure! Fantastic experience from start to finish! Amos was the best guide, he’s so knowledgeable and funny - he’ll make your trip so memorable! If you can request Amos to be your guide I’d highly recommend him 🙌🏼 We saw all of the big 5 and loads of other animals - a brilliant trip and very professional throughout! 👌🏼Posted on Google![]()

We took the six day safari with Masai Mara-Naruk-Amboseli. We ordered our safari via Axis, in our car we were 7 people. We were the only ones from Axis. So it’s hard to rate Axis on our trip. We suffered a bit due to this since all travel groups had different itinerary and accommodations. We spent hours waiting on people and driving to different lodges/tent camps. This made that our tour didn’t followed our itinerary and we had to argue to get what we paid for. You should be aware of this or demand to be in a car with a group with 100% same itinerary/accommodation if you plan to order this trip. With that said we had a great safari. We saw the big five on our first full day game drive. Richard, our driver should have the Nobel peace prize for handeling one of our co-travelers that was very demanding. He handled our van with great skills! Richard and animal-viewing was five stars, the planning with different itineraries in one car was one star!Posted on Google![]()
