Perfect option for a budget experience in Masai Mara
Strongly suggested if you are looking for a budget experience to enjoy the park at his best!
We went for the three days game-drive and the tour met the expectative. Kalifa, our driver and guide is certainly very expert and has a lot of contacts also with other rangers inside the park which is key in order to find the most interesting animals in the park. We saw lions (from veeery close) cheetahs, one leopard and a lot of elephants, giraffs and many other animals.
The accomodation was a simply tent camp but the tent are quite nice well equipped with a bathroom inside that was actually way more clean and nice that we expected. The staff was very kind
Despite some small problems (in any case part of the adventure), for instance we had some issue with the car (like a flat tire), I would strongly suggest to choose this agency if you are looking for a good experience at Masai Mara for a cheap price!

Reliable tour company
Our tour was a shared 4x4 vehicle and a 2-night 3-day tour with accommodation in lenchada camp. We were picked up from our hotel on time. Before the tour started, we paid a total of $680 for two people. Everything was as described. On the first day, we did a 3-hour safari until sunset. On the second day, we chose a safari to the depths of the masai mara for the whole day, and we did not do a village tour in masai mara. Because it would be unnecessary to make a short tour again on the 3rd day. On the 3rd day, we made a tour of the village of masai mara. We reached Nairobi at 16:30 in the evening. We did not have any problems with eating and drinking, but you can take food with you. The places we stopped to buy souvenirs were incredibly expensive. We got much nicer ones cheaper at the airport. I guess the tour is a bit dependent on the driver. Our driver was Khalifa. Thank you so much for seeing the big five.

Johny was excellent from the moment we met him until the end.
First, the communication with Axis was always top notch. We communicated with Lennox when planning and booking the safari. He always responded quickly to our questions. We had flight cancellations and Lennox was great with helping us shift dates and find our accommodations. He was always there to assist with everything.
We traveled from Nairobi to Naivasha to Nakuru before entering the Mara. Johny was an excellent driver and guide the entire trip. He was well respected among the other guides and in the Mara many guides were asking for his assistance.
We stayed at Lake Naivasha Simba lodge, Sarova Lion Hill, and finally Ashnil Luxury Camp in the Mara. All places were excellent. Great rooms and food.
Johny was able to guide us to the Big 5. It was evident he really cares about his job as a guide and has great respect for the animals and sanctuaries.
We are planning returning again in a few years to do another trip with Axis!

The greatest moment in my life
We took a 3 day/2 night tour.
The first day we saw very few animals, but the driver tried very hard to show us the animals.
On the second day, we saw a lot of animals thanks to the efforts of the driver. We also enjoyed our visit to the border.
On the third day, we were able to go hiking thanks to enough safaris on the second day. We were accompanied by a Maasai tribe member. When we were about to leave, the driver asked us if we wanted to visit the Maasai, and when we said yes, he took us there even though it was unscheduled.
Overall it was a really good experience. It was beautiful enough to stay in tents. If I ever come to Kenya again, I will use your service.

Responsive, excellent attention to detail, flexible and accommodating, friendly
This was an unforgettable excellent experience! From the get go Lennox was very flexible and accommodating with our booking and answering the myriad of first-timer questions I had - not only for food restriction, but also with the needs of members of different ages in our group (children and elderly). He and his team went out of their way in organizing a birthday celebration for my wife in the middle of the trip, with almost no co-ordination required at our end.
Jimmy (our guide) was extremely flexible, seamlessly adapting the schedule and making sure we were well fed and had ample opportunity to view all kinds of wildlife (animals and birds) in the parks. He is an excellent driver, knowledgeable, and a master in positioning the vehicle such that we could almost touch the lions and elephant families at Maasai Mara and Amboseli.
Everything was perfectly co-ordinated, he had no complaints if we were late with our shopping - the schedule was automatically adjusted with a smile and a “it’s ok!!” Vegetarian food was always ensured (upon request at booking of course). Jimmy is extremely affable with and excellent network amongst his fellow tour guides - this meant excellent co-ordination between the guides to make sure no one, including us, missed an animal sighting. Each day, we were blown away by how much Jimmy got us to see (we counted 13 animal species and 8 bird species on our second day), how much knowledge he shared about their life span, how they survive, what they eat, where they are found, and looking up more details in his guide book when requested.
Your experience will be beyond your expectations! Axis is great value for money!! Strongly recommended!
