Hassle free & trustworthy Safari experience
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 ... Read more. 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.
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 re ... Read moreally 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 lifetime
Super!!!!
Everything was good, in particular our guide Dicson. Thank you so much for this amazing experience !!!
Axis Safari was very helpful, everything was well organized, and the team was excellent.
It was a wonderful experience. Our driver was Ken Ngamia. He drove us through the Maasai Mara and took us to see so many animals. The lunch in the savanna and the spectacular landscapes were amazing.

Great experience
Robert was an amazing guide! We saw the big five in our first game drive itself (including a black rhino). He was very knowledgeable and passionate about what he did which made the experience worth it. I would recommend him! For Amboselli we had Peter and were disappointed by his lack of enthusiasm and unwillingness to spend time to show us wildlife or have any conversation.
Professional operator
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 possib ...

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.
Perfect first safari experience
We took a 5 day tour with Ben from Axis and had a wonderful time! We’ve seen all the animals we wanted to see and had amazing landscapes. Ben is patient, experienced and super helpful.
Couldn’t be more happy with the experience!
Great!!
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 knowledgeabl ... Read moree 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.
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 dr ... Read moreive 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 add 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 amazing.
