Superb
My name is Nideesh Kumar, a Middle East airline/transportation professional, and I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 3-day trip to Kenya's Masai Mara with Axis Safari. This unforgettable experience was made all the more special by our exceptional guide, Ken, and the support of Ms. Monica from Axis Safari.Professional and Well-OrganizedAxis Safari's organization and attention to detail were evident throughout the trip. Every aspect, from accommodation to the daily safari schedules, was meticulously planned, ensuring we made the most of our time in the Masai Mara. A special thanks to Ms. Monica for clarifying every doubt and ensuring a smooth experience.Exceptional Guiding by KenKen's expertise and passion for the wildlife and culture of Kenya truly stood out. He had an incredible ability to spot animals, making sure we didn't miss any of the Big Five. His explanations were insightful, and he patiently answered all our questions, making the safari both educational and exciting.Memorable Wildlife EncountersThanks to Ken's sharp eyes and deep knowledge of the park, we had the privilege of witnessing some breathtaking moments, including a lioness with her cubs and a spectacular wildebeest migration. Ken's respect for the wildlife and the environment was apparent, and he always ensured we observed from a safe and respectful distance.Comfort and HospitalityThe accommodations arranged by Axis Safari were comfortable and perfectly suited for our needs. The staff was welcoming and attentive, and the food was delicious, offering a taste of local cuisine. Ken's hospitality extended beyond the safari drives; he ensured we were comfortable and well-cared for throughout our stay.Cultural ImmersionIn addition to the incredible wildlife, Ken introduced us to the local Maasai culture. We had the opportunity to visit a Maasai village, which was a highlight of our trip. Ken's connections and respect within the community allowed for a truly authentic experience.In SummaryOur 3-day Kenya, Masai Mara trip with Axis Safari and guide Ken exceeded all expectations. Ken's knowledge, enthusiasm, and dedication made this trip truly special. We returned home with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for Kenya's natural beauty and rich culture. A heartfelt thanks to Ms. Monica for her invaluable assistance.We highly recommend Axis Safari and Ken for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Kenya. Thank you for an amazing adventure

Amazing - once in a lifetime
I want to thank ROBIN for taking care of me and the group during the once in a lifetime safari trip from June 14-18. As a female travelling solo for the first time in Kenya, he really made me feel safe and comfortable! I love that my stuff was actually safe in the car and the accommodations especially since I was carrying my camera and telephoto lens for the first time. What I also loved was he always had water available which was great and much needed. This was my first safari so of course I'll never forget it and he is a part of that.
We saw 4 of the big 5: elephants, lions (lots of them), buffalo, and rhino. Just didn't see the leopard but we saw a beautiful cheetah! He made sure to try to make everyone happy --- stopped for the birdwatchers, the giraffe lovers, and just the general request take the amazing Masai mara scenery in --- thank you for stopping for the sunset!
We saw so many animals - it was like seeing them and learning about them for the first time. Truly a magical experience.
Thank you Robin for your cool personality and for the great adventure. Hope to see you again!

Why 4 stars instead of 5:
1. I hope the tour can be more accomodating to Muslims - one of the restaurants said that everything was halal except the chicken-- I would've eaten it by mistake if I hadn't asked. I was initially told that everything will be halal. A lot of hotels weren't aware of what halal was.... Not sure how this works...
2. Last hotel --- Chambai Safari in Navaisha-- had a glass window like blinds in the bathroom where anyone could see and look into the bathroom!! Please take note to not place any guests there until this is resolved as that's unacceptable. Rest of the accomodations were great!! Especially the resort with the massage -- Jennifer was amazing. The lenchada camp exceeded expectations --- clean - hot showers - decent regular food

Kenyan Adventure with Julias from Axis Africa
We were with Axis Africa. They were really professional. The guide cum driver cum caretaker cum Friend Julias was fantastic. He took care of me and my family really well. He had good knowledge about the animals and birds and on top of that he took great care of us. All the demands which were put forward to Julias he took care of that. He was very polite, with sense of humor and knowledge. We would highly recommend Julias to be part of Kenyan adventure.

Fred was absolutely amazing. A really talkative, informative, and kind person. Always smiling :)
Great service from start to finish. We went as a group of 8, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was surreal seeing the animals, the way Kenyan people live, and the overall happiness of the country and its people.
Would 100% recommend this company to anyone thinking on going on this trip.

Committed to providing a good experience
The service provided was excellent, logistically they are punctual, they fulfill what they offer and I am very friendly. Jhonny, the guide, was very friendly and his interest in taking advantage of every moment to make our experience the best was evident. We had the opportunity to see many animals thanks to their commitment. The camp is very good, I felt very comfortable and the food was delicious. Everyone is very friendly.
I only have one point for improvement: I would have liked to have been consulted if we wanted to make separate payments with my friend, because only one was made to my card and that affected our trip planning.
Thank you for everything, I would definitely recommend you.

Amazing once in a lifetime experience that I'll never forget
During this 5 day experience, we got to visit 2 different lakes and the Masai Mara reservation. It was a truly amazing experience as we saw many kinds of exotic animals and birds. Our guide was amazing too. He made sure that we saw as many animals as we could, and also stopping so we could take good photos of both the amazing scenery and the animals.

An excellent experience in Kenya
I did the 6-day tour to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboselli. Dixon was a very good guide, very willing to support the team, to explain in detail where we were, what we were seeing and what would follow. It was 6 days full of good experiences, lots of animals and knowledge. Thanks to Dixon for his patience and willingness.
