Amazing Safari experience with uncomplicated and responsive tour operator
I booked a 5-day tour as a single traveler. I was put together with 7 other participants and our guide/driver Robert to go to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate. Even though the other travelers were from different tour operators we all stayed at the same hotels/camps. The jeep was very comfortable which I was very happy about, because we stayed in it most of the day.
Robert kn ... Read moreew each of the parks (and roads) inside out. Due to him we managed to see all of the big 5 (Buffalo, Elephant, Lion, Rhino, Leopard) several times! The driving itself was very bumpy due to the roads leading to and in the parks itself. I can definitely recommend the walking tour on the peninsula (Crescent Island) in Lake Naivasha.
We always had enough water with us in the jeep and the places we stayed at were all really good.
I can recommend Axis Africa and would book with them again!
Ali was a very fun and knowledgeable guide and managed to safely drive through some tricky terrain.
I was pleasantly surprised with the all you can eat buffets for all meals at the residence and the massive landscapes in the safari grounds were beautiful
Ali Baba was very skillfull in driving and entertaining!
The tour was upto satisfaction. Alli was careful in his driving. I was surprised to see so many animas out on our game drive and I would recommend it to other visitors.
Guide could improve communication
The company was really organized and reliable, everything that was agreed on was delivered and they were easy to communicate with in the weeks preceding the tour. We did a 3-day group tour to Maasai Mara and the experience was amazing, the people we went with were lovely! However, our guide, Sharuk, could work on communicating better with us. At several moments, he would do something unexpected an ... Read mored not explain to us what was going on until he was asked - and even then, he wouldn’t explain it all. For example, on the first day we went to the park, it was most people’s first safari and he was demonstrating impatience when anyone asked to stop to look at an animal. He was trying to show us something special that was going on in another part of the reserve, but we could not know it since he hadn’t said anything. The next day, he stopped the car out of nowhere and went outside to fix something next to a tire without telling us a thing. We were kept wondering what was going on with the car until he came back minutes later.
good
This is an unforgettable experience in my life. The guide was very responsible and let us see almost all the animals we wanted to see. We also encountered cheetahs hunting, leopards descending from trees, and secretary vultures. The snow on Kilimanjaro is getting less and less. I will climb it next time.

Really reliable guide with extremely knowledge of wildlife
Among all the agencies I have contacted, Axis is the most responsible, economical, and efficient. Their guide is really responsible and reliable. Our trip is really out of expectation. Every national park and each Safari looks like a dream. I have recommended Axis to many of my friends. Next time when I visit Kenya, they will be my first choice.
Tom was amazing! Very kind, accommodating and knowledgeable.
Had a great experience! Easy to communicate pickup and drop off. The safari was amazing. Tom is the best. Kenya is beautiful and the people are so kind. Highly recommend :)
good service and communication
Our safari with Tom from Axis Africa Safaris was a fantastic experience. From the start, he was attentive, friendly, and really made the trip feel personal. What stood out most was the way he tailored the itinerary — for example, he made the effort to take us to the bridge at the river where we could walk with rangers, which was such a special moment. When we had to switch guides for an extra ni ... Read moreght in the Masai Mara, we immediately noticed the difference — Tom truly went above and beyond to make the days exciting and memorable. His sharp eye for spotting animals and his knowledge made every sighting more meaningful, and his humor and warmth made the drives a joy.
On the logistical side, there were a few things that could be improved by the operator. On the way back, the drive ended up being 5 hours instead of the expected 2 to Lake Nakuru, as we had to drop other people off first. The vegetarian lunch boxes also could have been better, as they didn’t really include much protein. That said, the hotels along the way were good, and overall Tom’s guiding made this safari truly unforgettable.
Amazing safari with Tom from Axis Africa
We had an incredible safari experience with Tom as our guide from Axis Africa Safaris. From the very beginning, he was attentive, friendly, and full of positive energy. Tom made sure to always check what we wanted to do and adapted the days to our wishes, which made the trip feel really personal.
Thanks to his sharp eye and deep knowledge, we were able to spot so many animals — lions, leopard ... Read mores, cheetahs, hyenas, and many others. Each sighting came with clear, engaging explanations that helped us understand animal behavior and the ecosystem better. On top of that, Tom’s sense of humor and positive attitude made every drive fun and memorable.
I can highly recommend Tom to anyone planning a safari with Axis Africa Safaris. He truly made our trip unforgettable!
Really really good Tour with Amos
We had a wonderful safari, especially because we were lucky to have Amos as our guide. He kept to all agreements, was always on time, is a safe driver, and accommodates every request. He also has extensive knowledge of the animal world and was able to share a great deal with us, so we not only learned about every imaginable animal but also a lot about the animals surrounding them. It was a fantast ... Read moreic time, and we'll do the next safari with Amos again. Highly recommended. Thank you very much.
