Axis Safaris
Guide: Kelvin Waigi
Where do I even begin. Kelvin is not just a guide, he is a storyteller, a tracker, and one of the most passionate people I have ever met. My partner Carmen and I came to Amboseli with high hopes, and Kelvin exceeded every single one of them.
From the very first game drive, it was clear this man was on a different level. He read the land like a map animal beha ... Read moreviour, wind direction, distant dust clouds, things we would have driven straight past.
Elephants A massive herd of 30 crossing the plain with Kilimanjaro rising behind them. Kelvin knew everything about them, Jaw-dropping.
Lions — He spotted a lioness stalking through tall grass that we would have completely missed. We watched her and two cubs for nearly an hour.
Cheetah — The highlight of the trip. A mother with three cubs resting under an acacia. Kelvin told us most visitors never see cheetah in Amboseli. We felt incredibly lucky.
Buffalo, Hippos, Giraffes, Zebras — All spectacular, always perfectly positioned by Kelvin for photos.
Birds — Kelvin is a brilliant birder too. He pointed out the Lilac-breasted Roller, Grey Crowned Cranes, Pelicans gliding over the swamps, a Spur-winged Goose, Blacksmith Plovers by the waterline, Marabou Storks, Superb Starlings.
The only sadness was that Kelvin couldn't join us for the Masai Mara leg — we were flying and a different vehicle was arranged there. We genuinely considered changing the plan just to keep him with us. That is how good he is.
Kelvin, thank you. You made our Kenya safari the most memorable trip of our lives. We will be back and will be asking for you by name.
Plus he speaks no only English but Spanish, as well!

Axis Africa made the tour memorable, convenient, & organized.
I would like to give a shoutout to our guide Mr. Nelson aka Simba who made our tour memorable. Simba was punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable. He accommodated our requests on our private tour and tried to get us the best wildlife viewings possible. If you ever book a tour with Axis Africa, Simba is your guy.

Smooth logistics and excellent guide

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My safari with Axis Africa Safaris was truly one of the best experiences of my life. We covered the breathtaking Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and the wildlife sightings were beyond anything I had imagined. From lion prides, majestic male lions and lionesses to multiple kills and predators enjoying their hunt, every game drive was filled with unforgettable moments. We even had an ...

The highlight of the trip was finally completing the Big Five after spotting the African rhino in Nakuru. A huge thank you to our guide, Mr. Collin Sempele, whose expertise, dedication, and sharp eye made all the difference. He was outstanding at his job and ensured we had some truly spectacular sightings throughout the journey.
I couldn’t have asked for a better guide or safari experience. Thank you, Axis Africa Safaris, for memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t wait to return to Kenya for another adventure! 🦁🐆🦏🌍✨

Thank you so much for an amazing week-long tour
Not only did you safely drive long distances, but you also handled busy city traffic and rough unpaved roads with excellent judgment and skill. We always felt safe and well taken care of.

Thanks to you, we were able to experience so many unforgettable moments.
Because of your professionalism and care, we were able to relax completely and enjoy every day of this trip without any worries.
Meeting lions, a leopard, cheetahs, elephants, and many other animals was unforgettable, but even more than that, the entire week itself has become a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life.
Meeting a guide as wonderful as Ben was one of the great blessings of this journey.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. 🙏✨🦁🚙
Awesome 3 day Massai Mara
Great 3 day tour of the massai mara.
We booked the most budget version and it was incredible value for money.
Communication up front was good, pickup was on time and in generell it was just top organised.
Our Tourguide Kelvin Mimi came with knowledge of animals and Kenya, loads of fun and just a gem to be around.
100% would do again!
