Absolutely loved our Budget Masai Mara trip with Axis! Well organized
I really enjoyed the Masai Mara trip that Axis organized for us. Cintia that works on the offices in Nairobi was very good explaining us the details.
The pricing was good and they had the budget friendly option. Please note that the pricing for the tour is very good considering that includes the transportation from Nairobi, nightly stay, ALL MEALS, and all game drives! What drives the cost up, are the national park fees for Masai Mara included in the ticket which are $200 per day for foreigners. Can’t do anything about this. Our transport and game drive vehicle was a 4x4 Land Cruiser too, better than the vans we saw out there doing the game drives.
Our guide throughout the trip Pete was great at navigating into the Kenyan roads and the park. He also looked for our safety at all times.
The trip was really well organized, picked us up on time, meals were vast (buffets) with options for vegetarians, and the tent we stayed had a bathroom and hot shower.
Absolutely recommend this company.

Unforgettable Safari experience
7 days Masa, Nakuru, Naivasha, amboseli private safari - The booking process, guide’s professional knowledge and the daily clean keeping of the land cruiser are all perfect and beyond our expectations, Ken , our guide, is so attentive and he took us to Lake Elementaita to see the flamingos when Lake Nakuru has only pelicans. There are thousands of Flamingos and it is amazing. Of course we see the big five and most exciting is seeing the cheetah catching a gazelle the entire process from a very close distance . We were hoping to see the migration crossing the rivers. Although we only see them stopping last minute crossing the river, we were satisfied as this is nature, seeing them migrated across the grassland is stunning enough. Last but not least , we really thank for Ken’s enthusiasm in taking us to see the big five. Originally we were missing the panther. But when he heard it’s coming out on the tree, he quickly take a U turn taking us there, despite it’s almost the end of the day and we are heading back to the lodge.
The service Axis Africa Safaris provided are top notch and we would definitely recommend.

Excellent Safari with Best guide Yasin
This was my second safari experience in Kenya, the first one being seven years ago. With high expectations from my previous adventure, I carefully selected Axis after consulting with various travel agencies, and I’m glad I did. The arrangements were flawless, and the staff at the agency were not only friendly but also surprised us with T-shirts, which was a nice touch. The highlight, however, was meeting our exceptional tour guide, Yasin.
A reliable tour guide is crucial on a safari. They do more than just drive; they become your companion, ensuring you find the perfect spots for photos and videos, while also sharing valuable knowledge about the wildlife and environment. Yasin excelled in all these aspects.
Arrangement: I booked a 7-day safari that covered Masai Mara, Nakuru National Park, and Amboseli. Initially, Lake Naivasha wasn't included, but Yasin suggested adding it to the itinerary at no extra cost. This allowed us to get closer to the hippos, which was a fantastic experience. Despite the additional driving and adjustments required, Yasin handled everything seamlessly and without complaint.
Professionalism: Passion for nature is essential for a safari guide, and Yasin certainly has it. With a background in ornithology, he has a deep understanding of the natural world. His ability to spot animals from a distance and position us for the best shots was impressive. I vividly remember waiting patiently for two hours to capture the perfect photo of a leopard. For me, the essence of a safari isn’t just about spotting animals, but observing their behavior—how they stretch lazily, play, or plan their hunts. These moments bring a sense of calm and connection to nature.
Respect for Nature: This point is particularly important. During peak season, many drivers may not show the same respect for wildlife. I recall an incident where a group of cheetahs was preparing to hunt, and while we kept our distance to observe, other drivers rushed in, startling the cheetahs and disrupting their hunt. It’s disheartening, and I hope in the future, stricter guidelines can be enforced to preserve the integrity of these natural habitats. Africa is one of the last true paradises for wildlife, and it’s vital that we protect it.
Communication: The communication throughout the safari was excellent. Yasin was attentive and responsive to our needs, which made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I noticed other groups who seemed to have issues, but thanks to Yasin, our journey was stress-free.
In conclusion, if you’re considering a safari, I highly recommend Axis and Yasin. They truly deserve a five-star rating.
