Excellent and Well Organized Trip
About Axis Safari - I had an excellent trip with Axis Safari. All thanks to Mr. Lennox Eric. He is an amazing guy who was available throughout and help me finalize the itinerary with different price options. He guided me on what is best for me.
About the Trip- I booked the trip for Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli in a 4X4 land cruiser private for me. the vehicle had a pop-up roof that allowed us to watch the animals safely during the game drives. We had a comfortable stay at the hotel. The food menu was OK and has a local flavor with an option of some Indian menu items.
About the Tour Guide - Our tour guide/driver was Mr. Jack for Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. He is an amazing guide and driver. We saw some amazing animals and scenery. He was good at finding the animals and positioning the land cruiser at just the right spot for great photos. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals too. He has good knowledge of flora and fauna. He has arranged my last-minute BBQ at Masai village and had an amazing experience in Masai Village. While returning, he took us to meet his mother and spent a few minutes seeing his village and treated us as a Family. He is wonderful and a very jolly person. Thanks Jack for this wonderful and memorable trip to Masai Mara. I will surely visit again with Jack
About the Tour Guide - During our Amboseli trip, Jack was already booked with some other customer, so Mr. Yasin was my tour guide/drive. He is very good, and helpful guy. He is also amazing in finding animals and he took us to different areas in Amboseli and saw many animals around.
About Nairobi – Mr. Abraham was my tour guide to show me the city in a day. He took me to places and discover the city with him. He is very humble and fantastic person.
I strongly recommend Axis Safari for all your Kenya Safari needs. They are honest, helpful, and trustworthy people.

Excellent Trip
We had an excellent trip with Axis Safari. Our driver/guide Albert took great care of us. The van was clean everyday and he took great care to get us close to the action. The accommodation was all clean and adequate for a budget to midrange choice. We would recommend.

Amazing Experience
We had an excellent experience starting from first contacting Eric Lennox, getting the various options, suggestions, before finalizing on the itinerary. Advance nominal. Balance on reaching Nairobi.
The Guide/Driver Jimmy was simply superb. Very skilful, knowledgeable, extremely courteous, making sure you are comfortable and punctual. He becomes family by the end of the trip. Will recommend Axis and Jimmy for your Safari trips

Very helpful and well organised
Two of us booked on to the 5 day budget camping safari - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate National Park. We were in a vehicle with 5 others on the same trip. The whole experience was excellent. Clear, prompt communication beforehand and any questions answered by email. Khalifa was a great guide, ensuring we were always happy and helping with things like exchanging money and where to buy souvenirs. The accommodation was all excellent - half the nights in a very large tent and the other half in incredible lodges with swimming pools. Lovely range of activities - game drives, cycling, boat trip. On the game drives Khalifa was great at getting us good views of the animals and we spent a long time in the parks. Would definitely recommend - nothing about it felt 'budget'.

Best tour (and guide) ever !!
I did the tour for 2 nights(3 days) and it was definitely worth the money and I had such a good time. Our driver and guide James was absolutely the best!! Thank you James for making the trip even better. I had the luck of sharing the safari van with nice fellow travellers and we all connected so well and overall had awesome time together.
If you’re looking for a safari experience that you won’t forget, I can’t recommend Axis enough (and ask for James !!).
Thank you guys!

Fantastic 4 Day Safari From Nairobi to Diani Beach
We had a fantastic safari booked through Axis Africa. Lennox communicated clearly and helped me to customise the tour to stay at exactly the lodges we wanted. We had a comfortable land cruiser 4x4 for the drive, which had a pop up roof that allowed us to watch the animals safely during the game drives. Khalifa was an awesome guide and driver. We saw some amazing animals and scenery. He was good at finding the animals and positioning the land cruiser at just the right spot for great photos. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals too. We enjoyed all the lodges but especially Salt Lick and Satao camp in Tsavo which were incredible with their own watering holes that allowed you to see the animals close up. I would definitely book with Axis Africa again and request Khalifa.

Amazing
We did a 3 days safari in the Masai Mara and it was an amazing experience. We had great communication with Lenoxx for organizing the trip. Afterwards, the knowledge and good vibes of the driver Yasin were fundamental to the success of the safari. I truly recommend their services and I would request Yasin again as a guide on a new trip. Hakuna matata!

Incredible Family Experience from start to finish
Axis Africa delivered on every level from ease of booking, communication, value for money, quality, family friendly and flexibility.
We were a group of 6 on a private tour - a family with a 2.5 year old and a 3month old baby. Travelling with young children can be difficult but Axis were so accommodating and answered all our questions prior to booking with ease and clarity which was really reassuring. Axis were able to provide us with a car seat for the toddler and we brought our own for the baby. Our guide Kikatou could not have been more amazing if he tried- he treated us like family and knew safety of the little ones while on the road was important to us. He was so flexible with timings always checking what worked for us and the children but also making us aware of what the best options were so we didn't miss out on anything.
We certainly didn't miss a thing thanks to his amazing knowledge of the land and nature - seeing everything we could have hoped for and more. Seeing the big 5 in the wild really is something. Not only did we get up close to all the animals in the wild but we were also taught so much from Kikatou. No question went unanswered whether it was about the land, the animals, the culture or the places we visited. We had the trip of a lifetime and can't thank Kikatou enough he really made it memorable.
All of the accommodation booked by Axis was extremely accommodating and fully prepped for our arrival cots, spare beds and other requests were ready and waiting meaning we just turned up and enjoyed the experience. The hotels were all lovely, extremely clean, great service and good food which was all included and of great variety for everyone. The drive from each reserve was quite long however there was plenty to look at and Kikatou kept us entertained with interesting information whilst also allowing us space to talk amongst ourselves.
The overall experience was incredible! Value for money - We all said it was the best money we have ever spent. Our 2.5 year old has talked about her adventure and all the animals non stop since we returned as have we.

Adventure of a lifetime
I highky recommend Axis Africa Safaris to anyone looking for an adventurous yet comfortable trip. Our guide, Moses, took care of us every step of the way and made sure we were well fed, entertained and having fun. He was an excellent driver and had an answer to every question ranging from biology to politics. We ate delicious food at every stop and saw more than a dozen different large mammals. I even left my pijamas at one stop and our guide arranged to have them delivered to me by the next day!!!

Super friendly, knowledgeable and caring guide!
Our guide, Moses, took us on a spectacular tour of the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha! Definitely ask for Moses- he was a spectacular driver, knew the answers to all of our (very many) questions, and even arranged picking up some clothes we left at a previous nights’ hotel! The tour itself was such an amazing experience and so worth it, there wasn’t one part I didn’t thoroughly enjoy.
