Big 5 in 5.5 Hours with the best guide!
5/5

We booked a private 8 day safari with a challenging itinerary and we could not be happier with how everything turned out - we know that Ali was meant to be our guide as he was up for the challenge!

Ali extremely knowledgeable, teaching us about every animal we saw and able to answer all of our questions. He was professional - it is easy to see the love he has for his job, and how well he knows the parks! We saw all big 5 in one morning game drive at Masai Mara, all before noon. This had all of the other drivers wondering what Ali was doing differently :) He is also, most importantly, kind and compassionate. We had a couple of health scares on our trip and he made sure to get us to a hospital both times in a safe and timely manner, and even helped us evaluate the best one to go to in Nairobi.

We chose Axis because it was the only safari company that allowed us to truly design our private safari itinerary, all other companies tried to force us to follow their existing programs to make it easier on themselves. Special shoutout to Rita for incredible fast communication over email - always answering our questions in a thorough and easy to understand manner. This was also a deciding factor for us.

We will absolutely be recommending both Axis as a company and Ali as a tour guide to our friends and family, and we hope to be back one day!

Perfect private tour operator
5/5

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an incredible 8-day private safari in Amboseli, Nairobi National Park, and Maasai Mara, guided by the exceptional Ali. From start to finish, Ali’s expertise and passion for wildlife truly enhanced our adventure.

We selected Axis because it was the only safari company that allowed us to fully customize our private itinerary. Other companies insisted we follow their pre-set programs, which felt restrictive. A special thanks to Rita for her prompt and clear communication via email

Ali’s deep knowledge of the parks, animals, and local culture was evident throughout our journey. He was not only a skilled driver but also a keen observer, ensuring we spotted everything from elephants in Amboseli to the Big Five in Maasai Mara. His ability to share interesting facts and stories made each game drive engaging and educational.

Beyond his professional skills, Ali’s friendly demeanor created a welcoming atmosphere for our group. He was attentive to our needs, ensuring we had the best experience possible, whether it was finding the perfect viewing spot for photos or sharing a delightful picnic lunch in the midst of nature.

Overall, Ali was an outstanding guide who made our safari unforgettable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and personable guide in Kenya. Thank you, Ali, for an amazing adventure!

Excellent Niubi!
5/5

Axis was able to provide me with a very fast response from the first email and carefully answer every question I had about Safari. Axis can provide a satisfactory response to my hotel selection. Very sincere! But the biggest reason for choosing Axis is my man Johny Jackson! The best guide on this African continent! Having excellent driving skills and safety awareness! I He will consider your daily schedule carefully! He will find the best shooting location for you! He knows what we want, and he has given us all what we want! He has rich experience and even knows what the next move of the animal kingdom is! This gave us a great surprise! My biggest takeaway from this Safari trip was Johny! The fact proves that my choice was not wrong! Every night's hotel gave us a huge sense of comfort! It can wash away the fatigue of our day!

Johny is a very calm man with a natural black sense of humor, but he is very responsible and serious when it comes to work and guests. He knows what we came from afar to see and also works hard to find for us. He tirelessly repeats every day's work, and I asked him if he would feel bored doing the same thing repeatedly for over a decade? He said no, he loves this career. He enjoys driving, animals, and interacting with different people. I think this career requires people with rich emotions to do it! Only people like Johny can do it well! He deserves more and deserves better!
I love this handsome cute African guy!
