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.

amazing
Our tour was amazing. Our guide, Kikitu, was very eager to make sure we saw as many of the animals as possible (we ended up seeing all of the big 5!!!). It was a wonderful experience.

As an Asian, This is such a truly lifetime experience.
I went to Kenya for a very first time with a friend from Thailand. Safari Contractor : Lennox , Driver : Issac
We took a full 6-day program from Maasai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru along the way westward to Amboseli National Park. Our driver is a big guy Issac with huge heart, his sight of animal is somehow second to none. even we couldn't see any Leopard as an one missing Big 5 but we fortunately witnessed Lion family eating Zebra (with group of Zebra staring behind). This was beyond my expectation in a first safari trip of mine.
Being a sport photographer at home, I do enjoy spending time capture wildlife shots in these National Park. Chance of seeing zenith of Kilimanjaro in October is very little, only 5 mins of whole noon we can see it. Our driver was patient enough to stop and wait us taking thousand shots of birds, antelopes, big 4 (except Leopand) and landscape scene so far. Don't forget to get your gears well here in Kenyan Safari. You won't be regret to keep them being with you, especially a long telephoto lens with fast camera. Many shots you only have just one chance so don't miss it.
One of accommodation : Kimana campsite next to the Amboseli NP is what they should improve.
Rooms: pretty dilapidated. Cabins are worn down, mosquito nets that are ripped and don't fit, very poor electrical work, no hot water (if any water) in many tents. Toilets needed maintenance (flushes weren't really working). Shower have leaking water though bedroom.
The plus points are you can see the whole Kilimanjaro with naked eyes, and the offered not that bad food ,basic (if you are a flexible person with well-traveled)
Overall we were pretty satisfied and fulfilled, pretty recommend to those seeking a budget safari trip.

Amazing safari experience
The trip was exactly as described. The communication before the safari was quick and clear. The driver/guide - Kikitu - was just amazing, a lot of fun, very knowledgeable, and a skilled driver. He told us a lot of interesting stories about the animals, the Masai people, and Kenya.
Highly recommended!

Great experience!
We had a great experience, from sorting things out with Lennox - regarding costs, transportation, schedule, services included – to the actual tour. I joined the three-day safari, and everything was great: pick up and drop out on time, food, and the accommodation at Lechanda camp was really clean and comfortable. Our drive, Joshua, was really knowledgeable and patiently answered all of our questions. We managed to see the big five and much more in just one day! I totally recommend!

Big Five And Five Stars. The day I started my talks with Axis Safaris I knew this tour gonna be good
Lennox got everything sorted out for me and his promt mails got me informed of all the schedule and where I would be collected. I joined the Four Day Tour with five more and left for Masai Mara on time. The star of the tour was Mr.Evans our driver come guide who is funny enjoyable man with great knowledge of all animals.. plants..birds etc. I stayed at Lechanda Camp which was very clean and the tents comfortable. The meals were yummy. Next two day we saw almost all the animals, four of the big five and fifth I saw on the last day in Nakhuru. Lucky to see five lions feeding on a zebra and next day a solitary lion who ambushed a wilder beast. Last day I saw the georgeous White Rhino with her cub in Nakhuru and later in Lake Naivasha saw Hippo’s in close proximity. Evans thanks a lot for all the informations and patiently answering my doubts... cheers buddy. Special thanks to Lennox the provider. Will come back again Lennox and Evans.

Brilliant communication from the beginning and great value.
From the very beginning we had great communication from Lennox. He was about the only safari operator who gave us a straight price and not referring us to the website. We found most of the websites annoying in their pricing so it was good to bypass this.
There was a slight confusion on pick up time from the hotel but communication was good and then we were on the road.
Our guide Richard was great and extremely helpful. We were on the budget camping Safari and it was great value with food provided. My only criticism would be the need to buy water, on the day of the long safari, it would have been good to bring extra free water.
On the days of the Safaris Richard did his best and worked hard to show us all the animals and we managed to see them all apart from the elusive Rhino.
Finally, after drop off back in Nairobi, I realised I'd left a modem in the van and Richard and Lennox went above and beyond to return it to our hotel.
I would totally recommend Axis.

Outstanding safari experience
We've had a great safari experience, everything was very well planned by the operator. The services provided were at good standards and was nothing to complain about.
