Amazing trip and great holidays
This was once in a lifetime experience and one of the best vacations I ever had. My wife (29y) and I (34y) spent six days on Safari in Kenya.
We went to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. In Maasai Mara we loved the nature and we were so lucky to see lions mating, leopards napping in trees and cheetahs having a great lunch (poor gazelle). In lake Nakuru we watched rhinos grazing and arriving Amboseli, Kilimanjaro greeting us with an amazing sunset. At Amboseli we came so close to so many elephants and felt in love with the gentle giants.
All accommodations were carefully picked and our hosts did everything to give us a wonderful experience. The food was always delicious and reflected local cuisine very well.
Although we spend a lot of time in the car, I was not bored for a second. Our tour guide Jimmy kept us entertained and safe throughout the journey. In general Jimmy was the best guide one can imagine and did everything possible for giving us the best time. For example he helped us to get a SIM card and set up a M-PESA account (mobile payment).
Axis Africa Safaris was a great choice and we are so thankful for all the efforts put in this wonderful trip.

Incredible animals, organized and responsive operators!
We had an incredible time on our safari here. This was our first time on a safari and Axis Africa was extremely helpful and responsive; Lennox even went above and beyond to help us with late-night visa issues on our way to Kenya (make sure to get an e-visa ahead of time!!). Peter was a fantastic driver; very friendly and knowledgeable, very skillful at maneuvering rough terrain, and had a great feel for the pacing of the game drive. The camp we stayed at was clean, the staff friendly, and the food tasty. Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru are astounding. We were able to see a wide variety of animals at the tail end of the Great Migration, and there were lots of baby animals this time of year as well! Overall, could not recommend more highly.

The team I trust - Lennox, Kikitu, Khalifa
For the third time I choose to trust Lennox to organize our Kenya safari and I have no regrets. I am the leader of groups of tourists and I always very carefully select the partner who will organize our trip to some distant and familiar country. Before making my choice I exchanged emails with several local travel companies. Lennox won me over right away with his quick, accurate and honest responses to all my questions, as well as his willingness to be flexible with our often changing tentative plans. Lennox doesn't talk too much, but he listens/reads carefully and quickly understands what is being asked of him. He always answers my questions and suggestions point by point. Thanks Lennox!
I am also extremely grateful for the best guide that the company provided me even for my first group in 2019. Kikitu Douglas is my discovery - for me he is not only the best safari guide and driver, he is simply one of the nicest and kindest people I know. Every time with every new group that visits Kenya, I insist that Kikitu be with us and I can tell that this warm and cheerful person finds a way to the heart of even the most difficult people who rarely like anyone and hardly smile. With him I am confident that we will get the best pictures because he not only finds the animals but always gives the best position to capture the wildlife. In addition, he is full of knowledge about life in the savannah and is happy to share his knowledge with tourists. Kikitu is a real encyclopedia and a real sight hunter.
This time in September 2022 our group was big and we had to rent two jeeps. The driver of the second jeep was Khalifa Abdallah. He also turned out to be a treasure - a very artistic and funny guide, with a wealth of life and professional experience. His stories really entertained and inspired people and me. In addition to all this, he is a virtuoso driver, which is not at all easy on the difficult terrains of the savannah and jungle.
Kikitu and Khalifa seem to know no fatigue when giving themselves away in their work. They gave us unforgettable adventures and knowledge about wildlife. At the end of our trip, the people in my group said "Thank you. The experience was worth every cent we paid for it!"
Thanks Lennox, Kikitu and Khalifa! I will certainly come back again with new friends and choose your professionalism and your big, warm African hearts again!

Best safari drive of my life
I have been to drives many other times, but this time was just perfect. The tour operator offers affordable but still very well organized safaris. I went to the Masai Mara, and thanks to our amazing guide Yasin we had just the most stunning experience. We saw all the big cats, even the most shy ones and the whole experience was great, as Yasin was also able to adjust the schedule according to our necessities. I will definitely go again and recommend this tour operator.

Great safari tour with excellent management
We had a great time with Axis, everything was organized well and their communication before we arrived was great too!
I had a lot of questions and they answered all of our concerns very quickly!
Jeff was our guide for 4 days, and he was great! Knowledgeable and considerate, he made sure we were all having fun and also stopped long enough for us to take lots of photos of the animals.
He even spotted some lions for us himself!!
Definitely recommend going with this company and tour. If you can, ask for Jeff and you are guaranteed to have a good time :)

Great safari
I did a safari to masai mara and lake nukuru which I thoroughly enjoyed. The guide was a guy called Jeff who really made a huge effort for us to see as much of the landscape and animals as possible . We traversed a huge area and Jeff had a great knowledge of the parks and also of the animals and their behaviours. I would highly recommend Jeff and he clearly loves his job

Professionals in their field
We booked a 6-Day Best Value Under the Sun. The organization of the tour, accommodation, food and transport - everything was great! Our guide Richie did everything he could to make us see the Big African Five. I recommend this tour operator! Special thanks to Lennox for the fact that our guide was Russian-speaking

GREAT AGENT
The safari was great Lennox replied quick to any questions and Peter our driver was excellent, he did everything he could so we could have the best view of the animals and so we could enjoy the safari, we saw the big five. Everything was great. The camp we stayed at the Lenchada has no electricity they run on a generator so they only have power for a few hours in the evening and a few hours in the early morning, also no wifi so if this is a dealbreaker ask Lennox for an upgrade and get a midrange or luxury facility. Not a big deal for me, I totally recommend Axis Africa Safaris, great service!!
