An excellent experience was provided by Axis. Our large group was well accommodated and everything that we would've needed was bundled and very convenient.
Our family trip with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris was incredible. We traveled with a large group of 14, and despite all having different arrival and departure times, as well as different budgets, they were very flexible and accommodating. Everything went so smoothly, from airport pickup, to checking into the Nairobi hotel, to taking us to Wilson airport, and finally picking us up from the airs ... Read moretrip and taking us to our camp and around Maasai Mara. From the office, we worked mainly with Cynthia, and she was very responsive, both over email and WhatsApp, and was very patient with all our questions. Our group had two driver guides, Jack and Sir Charles. Two couples stayed at a different camp than the rest of the group, and the four of us mostly stuck with Sir Charles on the 6 day safari. He’s been doing this for 16 years and his experience absolutely shows. He is incredible at anticipating animal behaviors, which was so advantageous to help us get prime viewing spots. We were able to get some amazing shots of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and many other animals thanks to his expertise. He’s also an expert at driving a manual transmission. My husband was very impressed that he never stalled. Overall this was an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience thanks to Axis!
Sir Charles knew exactly where to go to how to help provide a unique, once in a lifetime experience. His 16 years of experience are telling and would absolutely recommend him and Axis Africa Safaris. We had a group of 14 people of all different ages and capabilities, and our guides were extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable.
It was a beautiful safari experience and our Guide Tom taught me so much about animals, answered all our questions, I’d do it again.
Cynthia was very patient and answered all our questions before and during the trip. Our guides, Jack and Sir Charles, were friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and pointed them out along the way. We stuck with Sir Charles for our trip because he took us to our camp separate from the group every night. He has 16 years experience and it showed. His eagle eyes and connections put us on the ho ... Read morettest spots and his foresight put us in the best position to get great views of animals on the move. While other vehicles lingered for photos he would leave before anyone and put us right next to the action anticipating the animal’s moves before they made them. We had a cheetah and multiple lions pass within a couple feet of our vehicle. One male lion even decided to rest in the shade of our Land Cruiser! We saw the big five, the big nine, and the ugly five. We saw a river crossing where a lion was waiting on the other side for unsuspecting wild-a-beasts! We even saw the elusive rhino and leopard! Every day got better and better thanks to Sir Charles and Jack. Even more impressive was that our masterfully driven Land Cruiser was stick-shift! Asante Sana, Sir Charles!
Axis accommodated 4 of us in our group of 14 that chose cheaper lodging. We opted for the budget accommodations and they were great! We stayed at Wild Nest Mara Camp and our tent came with two beds, a bathroom, and a shower. One day it rained particularly hard causing an electricity broken out. Generator power was on but would shut off after midnight. They approached me knowing I used a Cpap for sleeping. I mentioned I had a battery backup that would last 3 hours so they only shut off generator power for 3 hours. Breakfast, boxed lunch, and dinner were provided for us daily and were a mix of African offerings and tourist-friendly options. Thanks Wild Nest!
Overall, this was a trip of a lifetime that we won’t soon forget. Thanks to everyone at Axis Africa Expeditions & Safaris for such a great experience with family and friends! Highly recommend this great company!
They were professional and followed the Itinerary as promised
Our guides - Amos and John were knowledgeable and answered all our questions patiently, good nature and good drivers.
Mother nature is amazing and axis helped us connect with it better.
Our safari guide Amos delivered an absolutely fantastic experience.
He is a calm, skilful and safe driver on rough park roads. Amos is warm, friendly and attentive throughout the whole journey.
He possesses impressive wildlife knowledge and has sharp eyes for spotting animals and birds.
The entire safari exceeded our expectations and felt perfectly arranged. We hope to revisit Kenya someday and ... Read more highly recommend Amos to all travellers.

My experience with Axis Africa Safaris was amazing. Our guide, John Mwangi, was very kind, knowledgeable, and kept great communication with us. He was very attentive to any needs we had. I would definitely recommend going safari with this group and with our wonderful guide, John
Peter was a great host as he took us places in the park. We even got to see a Lion! Had great knowledge of places in the park and helpful to find certain animals.
Cynthia took care of everything from booking, flowers for my sweetheart, lunch and the Elephant Sanctuary visit.
