Exceptional service from thoroughly Professional personnel at an affordable cost
Couldn’t be more satisfied to our trip to Masai Mara with Axis Africa Safaris. To begin with, a big thanks to Lennox who was really patient and prompt enough to sorting this out - regarding costs, transportation, schedule, services included to actual tour.
Me and my spouse joined the 4-nights trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha. Our driver Edwin made sure we were able to see as many animals. He always took us to the best spot to see the animals very close. We were even able to to see the migration over the border between Kenya and Tanzania.
We were accommodated in at Lenchada Camp in Masai Mara which was clean and comfortable enough. But room at Lanet Matfam in Nakuru is very small with lot of mosquitoes. Taphe Resort in Naivasha on the other hand was very basic, we even had door lock issue.
Overall the trip was much more than expected! The best value for money.

Axis Expedition was great in communicating and organizing the trip!
Our guides, Bony and Albert were the BEST! They communicated well, extremely kind, and went above and beyond to ensure that we all enjoyed our Safari. I can’t imagine any other guides better than them! Our accommodations were great to, everyone is helpful and supportive.

Excellent experience since booking till actual safari.
I have been communicating with Lennox for last 2 years. He is very prompt, helpful, reliable. There is no hidden cost. Facilities provided are beyond our expectations.
We have visited lake naibhasa and Masai Mara. I would recommend everyone to book through axis Africa safaris

Amazing safari experience
We’ve just returned from a 5 day safari with Axis Africa & it was amazing! We did 5 day Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha & Amboseli mixed camp & lodges. The camp for us was very basic (I’ve reviewed this separately) but this is no reflection on the company. I’d recommend researching the accommodation beforehand & making sure you’re happy with it - if not, ask for upgrades etc. For the price, it was manageable for 2 nights. The only other negative is the food wasn’t great. We eat anything but we struggled with the food quality so keep this is mind & think about bringing snacks.
The safari itself was such good value for money & the best priced out there.
The highlight for us was our guide Khalif - he was excellent. We’d just had quite a bad experience with our “guide” in Uganda so it was so refreshing to have someone who was communicative, informative, helpful but also FUN. Khalif made sure we saw everything!!! There was a transmitter in the van so that Khalif could communicate with other drivers in the park; this meant that if there was something happening we could get there & spot it ourselves. He knows a lot of facts about the animals & parks & all the best spots to see whatever animal we wanted. His rapport with the locals, other guides & park staff says it all - everybody stopped for a chat with him. He really was the best.
Communication beforehand was good & straightforward.
I’d consider paying extra to make your safari exclusive because then you aren’t restricted by other people’s schedules. Other members of our group set a leaving time of 06:00am one morning which we were fine with. We were up & reading, waiting for them outside their accommodation at 06:00am. At 06:10am ‘Mum’ walked out of her tent, walked past the van where we were sitting patiently & went & sat down to have her breakfast - we had to sit & watch her eat!
Things to note which are NOT a criticism of the company, just things to think about:
- the roads in MM NP are extremely bumpy! Be prepared for this.
- the roads in Amboseli are also bumpy & very dusty.
- you are not guaranteed a view of Mt Kili due to the dust & cloud.
- Lake Naivasha is quite a distance from Amboseli & there isn’t much wildlife there (except hippos) so if you have seen hippos previously, I’d think about skipping this. I’d recommend the boat cruise at sunset because at least then there’s something else to see. & the sunset is very pretty.

Best Safari ever!!!
We considered many options to bring a group of 6 on safari on a budget, and we are happy that we chose Axis. The driver was very skilled at driving difficult terrain and finding animals. We were able to choose a tented camp that suited our group needs well. Axis associates communicated with us to arrange the tour while we were in the United States and also to finish the arrangements once we arrived in Kenya.

Most affordable safari in the Masai Mara
This was the best priced tour company I could find for a 3 day safari in the Masai Mara. The itinerary was great but our guide, Robert, tailored it to match the needs of the group. Would highly recommend this tour for all the budget travellers! Accommodation and food was basic, which was expected, but still good.

Best moment!
Hi all travelers,
I went to 5-day safari tour with this company and had a really good experience.
The guides/drivers are really helpful, thank you Richard and Albert.
I saw all the big-5 in mid July, but next I will come back to catch the great migration!
Prepared hotels, accommodations and foods are amazing.
The driving experience is excellent.
The response (via e-mail and Whatsapp are super fast), and you will be able to have an airport transfer service from them as well.
Will come back to you again.
Thanks,
Jirawat

Great experience
My friend and I are just back from the 3 day safari and I would highly recommended it! We spent so much time in the park looking for the big 5! Our driver khalifa was brilliant! He really tried to make sure we got to see everything and was so informative and extremely friendly! The accommodation was lovely and very close to the park. Food was good not amazing so if you’re fussy maybe bring some food :) Definitely worth the money!!
