Amazing!
The tour I booked with Axis Africa Safaris was really nice. Our tour guide Richard really took an effort in making sure we had the best experience and took good care of us. He was very relaxt and listened to what everybody needed. The tour was well organized. Everything went smoothly. Also the camp we stayed in was nice, the tents (budget option) looked way better than expected and where comfortab ... Read morele. Thank you so much for the nice tour!
On of the best experience in my life
Doing a safari and discovering Kenya with Pita was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. The way he showed us Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli was incredible. We did a 7-day tour, and we think it was absolutely worth it—a perfect combination.
Pita took care of everything, and thanks to his experience, we were able to see many animals, enjoy amazing landscapes, and learn ... Read morea lot from his knowledge about wildlife.
I 100% recommend this tour!
Incredible experience ❤️🦁🐘
Just finished the best 4 day safari with Axis Safaris! I have previously done one safari before in Sri Lanka and saw hardly anything, so my expectations were low to be honest. I was blown away by how many animals we saw - 4 out of the big 5! We saw lions sleeping, mating and eating from a buffalo carcass. (All different lions at separate occasions!) We saw loads of elephants, 3 cheetahs, lots of w ... Read morearthogs, hippos, both white and black rhinos and loads more. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the accommodation was, more like glamping in the masai mara with proper beds and toilets. I loved the campfire at night. They also catered to our dietary requirements, including my vegan friend. Our driver/guide Peter Kapino was amazing, spotting animals I wouldn't have noticed and driving through some tricky spots seemingly with little effort. I spoke to someone at our campsite who they said they'd helped at least 5 cars who had got stuck in the mud in the masai mara and even had a vehicle break down. The fact we didn't get stuck once is testament to the driving skills of Peter and the great safari vehicle. Thank you Axis Safaris - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and use again next time I'm in Kenya.
Amazing and mind-blowing!
The company did an excellent job and our safari guide, Kevin, was incredibly knowledgeable. We saw everything we were hoping for and more! The roads can be a little treacherous in the rainy season - so we were so glad for our expert guide who handled everything so well. Even though we went in mid-March, it never rained while we were out doing game drives. We loved the accommodations too - a lovely ... Read more glamping tent and then a luxurious hotel. I highly recommend the 4 day tour so you can see Lake Nukuru.
Great guy, very good at his job and fun tour operator. Not a bad thing to say about Moses.
Not interested. Inly here to leave a good review about Moses because he was great.

Peter Kapino is the best! Very patient, knowledgeable, and kind!
We had the BEST experience on safari thanks to our guide and driver, Peter Kapino. He was with us the entire time, and honestly, he made the whole trip unforgettable.
Peter is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He took his time to make sure we saw as much as possible and never rushed us especially when we wanted to stop for photos (which was often 😅). He knows so much about the ani ... Read moremals, the land, and the culture, and you can tell he truly loves what he does.
What I appreciated most is how comfortable he made us feel. From day one, it didn’t feel like we were just client, it felt like we were traveling with a friend, even family. He’s very welcoming, easy to talk to, and just has such a good energy.
If you’re planning a safari, I highly recommend Axis! Shoutout to Tabatha that made it easy to book! Very responsive and answered all questions! Safari tour was very organized and I am very happy for choosing Axis and that Peter Kapino was assigned as our tour guide!
Super friendly, very knowledgeable
Amazing experience, lots of informations about the animals, birds and the park itself.
Salakantay camp was considered low budget, but very confortable and rhe food was good
We were with Kevin. 10/10 would

Best driver and important information
We had a 3 day safari trip to Masai Mara with Khalifa as the driver and Derick as an extra hand. The two of them were very polite, helpfull and did their best to give us a great trip, which they very much did. They went above and beyond in giving us the best experience.
When comparing our experience with the other vehicles we saw on the safari it was pretty clear that Khalifa and Derick were e ... Read morexcellent at finding the animals, getting the best angles and definitely getting the closest. Being within 3 meters of a lion, cheetah, giant elephant and more is quite the experience. Khalifas experience in predicting the animals meant that we often got the best spot. And viewing the sun go down while watching a herd of elephants is a thing i will never forget.
Important knowledge of going on safari is, that you should make sure that your vehicle is a proper offroad vehicle, like a Toyota Landcruiser and not a minibus. But also note that some of the vehicles are in disrepair and therefore do not have 4 wheel drive. The vehicle you get determines if you can go off the path and get closer to the animals or have to stay on the path and use your binoculars. (Hint you definitely want to zoom through the plains and get closer to the animals)
However the most important thing to note is, that when it has rained the lesser vehicles get stuck. We had to help out a few times with people who were stuck, which was much preferred to being stuck ourselves. Unfortunately people from other safari agencies did get stuck and had to spend the night in their vehicle inside the park. As you can guess dining and toilet facilities are not the best when there are hungry Lions around.
Fortunately the vehicle from Axis Safari was well maintained and fully functional and Khalifa was a world class offroad driver. The vehicles used for Safari are not equipped with toolkits, winches or other typical rescue gear, and the help can be a long ways away so choosing a good vehicle and driver like with Axis is a very good choice.
I would definitely recommend going with Axis and if possible asking for Khalifa.
Great trip! Johny was our guide he made sure we got the best experience without complications
We made last minute plans a few times and everything went smoothly, we got connected to the best lodges, the whole safari experience has been very memorable.
Very comfortable and chill
We did a last minute booking and it went smoothly. Our driver was experienced and made it a good experience. Would recommend!
