Axis was amazing from the start - Maurine answered all my questions (and there was a lot of them) and made me feel really safe about choosing Axis. The journey itself was great - the car is comfortable, clean, spacious, with electricity sockets. The driver was on time and we managed to see all the big 5 and the migration. I was really surprised in a good way about how many things we managed to see ... Read more in and half day of game drives (3 days masai mara experience).
Special thanks and appreciation to our driver Roger. He was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, always ready to respond to all our questions. Whenever there was an animal sighting, he rushed and somehow always managed to find the best for us to see the animals. He told me he loves his job and it really shows - the safari would have been a very different experience, was it not for him. Thank you, again.
We had a lovely time from the moment we were picked up at the hotel. The safari itself was amazing and we saw all the animals we wished for. We loved the «wild nest camp resort».
We just finished our safari experience and we couldn't be more happier with the result.
First of all, the Axis team—and Peter in particular—did a fantastic job putting together the itinerary, answering all our questions, and handling any issues that arose—such as adding an extra day in the Mara or booking train tickets to Mombasa in advance.
Our guide, Yasin, made this experience far bette ... Read morer than we had ever imagined; he teach us all about a wide variety of animals and looked after us like family. We were lucky enough to see the "Big Five" and witnessed one of the most magical moments imaginable—an elephant being born right before our eyes. All of this was enhanced by Yasin’s extensive knowledge and kindness, as he always prioritized our well-being and the well-being of the animals.
Asante sana!
We have just returned from our first safari in Africa, and choosing Axis and their team was a fantastic decision. We had no prior experience organizing this type of trip, and Peter’s assistance and advice were invaluable in creating an itinerary perfectly tailored to our interests. Peter was attentive and proactive throughout the process; he listened to our needs and helped us create a tailor-ma ... Read morede itinerary that went beyond standard options—such as adding an extra day in the Maasai Mara and a visit to Hell's Gate in Naivasha. He even arranged to purchase our train tickets before we arrived in Kenya—a huge relief, as we wouldn't have been able to buy them ourselves without M-Pesa. Thanks to him, we secured travel on our preferred dates without the worry of tickets selling out!
The moment to begin our adventure arrived, and we were assigned a guide and fellow travelers—people who were key to making the adventure truly complete. There were two other couples with whom it was a pleasure to share this fantastic experience, and then there was Yasin, our guide, who became a real teacher and friend throughout the week-long safari.
Yasin adapted the route each day with our well-being and comfort in mind; we managed to see a vast number of animals and truly spectacular sights. His mastery of the terrain and his experience in the wild were evident at every moment. We all hoped to see the "Big Five" (which we did!), but we never expected to witness the birth of an elephant just a few meters away. He always maintained an ethical approach and shared his insights with us throughout the journey.
We wrapped up our eight-day safari feeling a bit tired, yet immensely grateful and happy about the experiences we shared each day. We will miss seeing so many animals daily and continuing to discover the local wildlife.
Asante sana!
They are the best. Very punctual and fulfill their commitments.

I would definitely recommend Axis Africa Safari to my friends and family.
Had an incredible 4D3N safari in the Maasai Mara where we saw the Big Five two days as well as some predators feeding. The guides were incredible at finding and getting us close to the animals and also possessed great knowledge about the animals themselves. Thanks to our guides Nicole and Kulet for making this an unforgettable experience.
Our safari with Axis Africa was honestly such an incredible experience! I had never been on safari before, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of my life.
We were lucky enough to visit both Amboseli and Taita Hills, and every game drive felt like a little adventure. Sadam was an amazing guide and definitely one of the reasons we had such a great ...

We got to see lions, cheetahs and leopards, among so many other animals, and some of those moments were genuinely unforgettable.
Bo was also great and always so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed having both of them with us, and they made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed.
I ended the trip with so many amazing memories and hundreds of photos, and I’m already missing the game drives! A huge thank you to Sadam, Bo and everyone at Axis Africa for making our first Kenyan safari such a fantastic experience. I would absolutely recommend them!
It was the best three days of my life so far. Kevin's explanation during the drive was very easy to understand, and I learned more about Kenya. We recommend participating in the tour!
Our safari in Kenya was such a special experience, and I will remember it for a very long time. We visited Amboseli and Taita Hills, and I loved how different and beautiful both places were.

Thanks to him, we had some amazing sightings which I never expected to see so close. He seemed to know exactly where to look and always made sure we could all enjoy what was happening.
Bo was also such a lovely and helpful person. He was always there when we needed something, with a smile and a helping hand, and it was clear that the two of them worked very well together.
I am so happy that we chose Axis Africa for our first safari. There were so many little moments that I will take home with me, like watching the animals, the beautiful landscapes, and simply sitting in the vehicle and taking it all in. Thank you to Sadam and Bo for taking such good care of us and making our Kenyan adventure so enjoyable. I would gladly recommend them to anyone coming to Kenya.
