It was a wonderful experience; Saddam was knowledgeable and experienced. He was very helpful in every way. This was my third safari after Tanzania and Uganda, and the first time I was able to complete the Big Five. Saddam went to great lengths to show me all the animals.
The tour was safe and fun. We only had a problem with the boat tour. We thought we were going to Crescent Island, but we realized we were going to a different sanctuary. However, the problem was resolved when we reported it.
Best guide ever, made every moment unforgettable!
A tailor-made itinerary, and a guide who was available, attentive, and discreet—taking the time to answer all our questions. I highly recommend Peter Kapino.
He was highly effective in managing the itinerary, enabling us to observe a vast array of animals at very close range (lions, leopards, hippos, elephants, cheetahs, and more...) and to capture all the unforgettable photos we had hoped for! ...

Thanks again Axis Africa, Cynthia and Peter !!
Axis Africa was very responsive before the trip, to best accommodate to our wishes for the safari. Our 6-day safari experience with our driver Albert was outstanding. Albert is very knowledgeable about the parks we visited and could share many insights about all animals we saw during our game rides. The tent accommodations are good value for money.

Guide:
One of the most important factors in any safari is the guide, and we were fortunate to have Yasin from Axis Africa.
From the moment he picked us up in Nairobi, Yasin ensured that our family was comfortable and well taken care of throughout the journey. He is an excellent driver with remarkable skills in navigating all types of terrain.
What impressed us most was his genuine care for our family, especially our children, who thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him during the trip.
Yasin consistently went above and beyond to help us spot as many animals as possible. His dedication, patience, and keen eye significantly enhanced our wildlife-viewing experience. His background in bird studies was an added bonus, and he shared fascinating insights about birds, animals, trees, and the local ecosystem, making every game drive both exciting and educational.
Throughout the safari, he answered all our questions with patience and professionalism. His knowledge, friendliness, and passion for wildlife truly elevated our experience.
We are grateful to the entire Axis Africa team, especially Yasin, for creating unforgettable memories for our family. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
The whole experience started with Rita, she answered every single question with kindness and accuracy.
We chose the private safari option and were very lucky to have Sir Charles as our guide. He is an excellent driver, he is kind and incredibly knowledgeable and on top of everything : he knows everyone and all the best insider tips !
We truly cannot recommend enough Axis, Rita and Sir Charles.
We had a wonderful time and made unforgettable memories. We felt safe and comfortable in the hands of Yasin, our guide.
We spent our summer vacation in Kenya with Axis Africa Safari for 7 days, and it was truly mesmerising. The days passed so quickly, and every day brought a new experience. Seeing wildlife in their natural home is a different feeling altogether, especially with a guide like Yas ... Read morein.
I would like to take this moment to sincerely thank Yasin for the exceptional care and hospitality he showed us throughout the trip. He is not only highly professional but also kind, patient, friendly, and always smiling. His passion for wildlife and nature truly made our safari experience special. He has vast knowledge about wildlife, explained everything politely, and made sure we were learning and enjoying every single moment.
Yasin always made us feel secure and comfortable during the journey. His driving skills were excellent, especially on the challenging safari roads, and we were truly impressed by his confidence and experience. He was always punctual, attentive to our needs, and eager to make every game drive exciting and memorable.
We traveled with our 7-year-old daughter, and it was heartwarming to see how caring and friendly he was with her. They became very good friends, and she was always excited to spend time with him during the safari.
Leaving Kenya was very emotional for us, and we are going back with heavy hearts but beautiful memories that will stay with us forever. Thank you, Yasin, for making this trip one of the best experiences of our lives. We would highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
The safari was truly wonderful from start to finish. A special thanks to our guide Yasin who made the trip more memorable. He was professional, friendly, patient and knowledgeable throughout the safari. He ensured that we were comfortable and having great time. We sincerely appreciate the excellent services provided by the team.
An Unforgettable Family Adventure with "King" Yasin!
"We just finished an incredible circuit through Amboseli Naivasa and the Maasai Mara with Axis Africa Safaris, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our guide, Yasin, was the absolute highlight of the trip. Traveling with kids can be a challenge, but Yasin was so friendly and patient with them, making sure they were engaged and ha ...
