An Amazing Experience
My wife and I have just returned from Kenya having done the 4 day Joining Group Budget Safari (Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru). It was perfect and more than what we could have imagined.
First, when looking at operators I inquired with many, but reasoning to go with Axis Africa Expeditions was the reviews and Lennox's quick replies. The company was responsive quickly and transparent to the many questions (as it was my first safari) so I felt comfortable that everything was organized and they would be quick to act should there be any issues that may arise. Should you require certain things (dietary) or requiring upgraded accomodations, I am sure they can arrange to meet your specifications. For my wife and I, the Lenchada camp and the budget hotel were clean, safe, and met our needs.
Driver and Guide may ultimately be the most important part of the trip. You need someone well versed in the location, so that you can see everything you want, be safe, respect the environment, and also ensure coordination of the trip is smooth. We had Jack (Jackson) who was incredible. He knew the Mara inside and out. You can tell he had the respect of everyone in the community, from other company guides, rangers, villagers. He worked non-stop and made sure each guest were safe, comfortable, and had an enjoyable trip. I don't know if there could be any better guide to have, even if you had endless amounts of money. He was perfect!
We saw all the big 5 and many more. The trip was executed to perfection, on time and without any hidden costs. It was well worth it.

Best value deal
I’ve booked a 4-day safari tour including Masai Mara national park and lake Nakuru. Although the itinerary was adjusted slightly, everything went very smoothly. Due to our exceptional driver/guide Richard, we were lucky enough to see more animals than expected. Richard has a broad knowledge about the wildlife and was always concerned about our wellbeing. He was always happy to answer all our questions. Thank you again. Would definitely recommend it.

Amazing Safari
I have nothing but positive things to say about axis and the safari. I was in no way expecting to see everything on such a short Safari but our guide Evans was truly exceptional in his delivery and knowledge. I will be booking another safari with this group this year. Absolutely amazing experience and worth every penny. The team really did go above and beyond my expectations. I left a camera lens in a camp by accident and the team didn’t delay in posting the lens to where I was working for 6 weeks in Kenya. Exceptional service.

Unforgettable Experience
We did a 2-day private tour to Masai Mara and it was an amazing experience! Our driver guide Simon took us to see many animals including lions and cheetahs which some people at the camp didn’t see on the same day they visited Masai Mara.
We spent the night at Lenchada Tourist Camp where we had halal dinner and breakfast as requested. I would recommend Axis Africa Safaris for your safari adventure in Kenya!

Incredible experience
My girlfriend and I did safari in the Kruger park, South Africa, on our own with a rental car. We saw a lot of animals, no cats or rhinos, so we decided to do the private safari in Kenya - Masai Mara, the people of South Africa told us that the safari in Kenya was better than there in South Africa. We decided to hire Axis for a 2 day safari and we are very happy and grateful for the experience they gave us. The company reserved our safari simply with a whastapp message with our data, without any previous payment and they complied with everything they told us. The guide that touched us, Raheem, fulfilled above our expectations and demands (since we told him that we had seen everything but felines in the Kruger). Always friendly and predisposed to get into recondite places so we can see the animals, making the excursion an authentic safari. We are very grateful and we recommend 100% to Axis and Raheem!

Trip of a life time
My mom and I went on safari for 7 days in Dec. She had chemo in Nov and this was her get out and celebrate trip of a life time. Our guide Kikitu (Evens) was great! We were lucky to have him for our entire trip. Most tourists seemed to have been pasted between drivers depending on where they were going. Everyone was always nice about it though.
It rained the night before we went to Masai Mara and the roads were a bit ruff to say the least! Evens was the one that had pulled out all the other drivers that would get stuck in the mud, but never got stuck himself.
Christmas Eve, late in the afternoon, we arrived at Amboseli park. I forgot the name of the camp... anyways they had lost our reservations for the first night. Evens made some calls and we were put up in a tent for the night. The tent had holes all over and some kind of creature in the bathroom scratching the tent to get in. The second night we were moved and upgraded to a cabin/tent hybrid.
We saw every animal we could think of and then some thanks to Evens. He seemed to know every driver in Kenya and able to find the best places. We would go back again if it didn't take two days to get to Kenya.

Our guide was Peter, he was very kind and had lots of knowledge not only about the animals, but also about Kenya in general.
Everything was well organized by this company, camp was also fine. Thankyou

I definitely recommend this amazing experience with Axis Africa Safaris.
I definitely recommend this amazing experience with Axis Africa Safaris. Our guide (Martin) was excellent and the trip on the Masai Mara was unforgettable.
I traveled to Nairobi for work in late November 2018 and wanted to spend the weekend seeing a bit more of the country. As a solo female traveler, I was a bit anxious about choosing the right trip but could not have been happier with my experience with Axis Safaris on the 3-days, 2-nights group joining tour I did on the Masai Mara.
I am a vegetarian and Axis did a great job of making sure there were options available for me to eat throughout the trip. Our guide (Martin) was amazing-- he knew a lot about the animals and environment and was a great driver. On our return trip to Nairobi, he circumvented an incredible traffic jam by going on back roads that might have delayed us for hours otherwise. This was great news for me because my plane departed at 8:30PM the day we arrived. I felt that there was enough time to wake up, tour the Masai village and get on the road while still making it to the airport with a few hours to spare before my flight.
Overall-- highly recommend for a great experience.
