Organized, helpful and friendly
This tour operator has a very knowledgeable guide whose name is John. Fortunately we got John with us at our 6-days Masaimara-Naivasa-Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Park tour. He is very good in English and local languages alike. He is like a walking talking encyclopedia when it comes to Kenyan national parks and their inhabitants. I hardly met a service provider like John who was so punctual with time. All credits for our safari success goes to him.

Very happy journey
This is the best trip ever. We met the best guide johny jason and we all became very happy with his trip! We saw leopards, lions, zebras, elephants, and many, many other animals, and we went to the Great Rift Valley. The trip with him is very meaningful.

The Safari schedule is very good, and the two guides Johny and Marcus are very responsible.
The Safari tour arranged by Axis was very good. We saw a lot of wild animals and rare scenes. The experience of Johnny and Marcus taking us to look for wild animals on the prairie was unforgettable.

It was the perfect safari!
Alrighty! Axis Africa Safaris - I had a blast! My group was fun everything went well. Lennox is absolutely wonderful to work with - he handles the calls and bookings. No joke, I literally got scared at bedtime (yes Im a wimp) late my first night due to a minor issue at my camp. It was absolutely no fault whatsoever of Axis Safari - it was just a language barrier/cultural issue. I called and Lennox handled my concern SO much emotional intelligence. Lennox and my guide Alex completely fixed it in a flash! He promised me that he would handle it and handle it he did. I came back from my game drive, and everything had been resolved. I saw tons of animals. The guide had a serious passion for animals. I loved every minute. I would go back for sure!

beyond expectations
Axis is not a big company so we didn't expect much before journey. I chose them for quick response and reasonable price.
The whole journey was such a surprise for us. Especially, our guider Caleb，who is responsible, knowledgeable and has a terrific sense of humor. We will miss this journey

Reputable and reliable with no hidden fees, the guide Caleb was great.
This tour operator is very reliable and doesn't overcharge. Our guide, Caleb, is very experienced and knowledgeable about animals; he introduced us to the names and habits of each animal in great detail. The entire experience was excellent.

Caleb is a perfect Operator for your journey to kenya
The hole trip was safe and full of fun, that's a great experience. The operator is perfect, a friendly guy with enthusiasm. The cost of the trip was worth.

Brilliant safari experience
Very professional and chill. They respect your space and time while making sure everything is ok. The driver was friends with pretty much all other drivers in the Masai Mara and constantly in touch with them to let each other know where to find animals and we were able to see so many more animals than expected. Overall great experience!

Worth the price!
Our safari experience was overwhelmingly beautiful and exciting. Thanks to Johnny Jackson, our guide, we were able to see 2 of the big 5 on the first day itself. On the whole trip we covered 4 of the Big 5 and 4 of the ugly 5. And the landscape overall was ecstatic. We were the first jeep in the park to spot male lions chilling near a pond in the morning, again thanks to Johnny. I think his skill is unmatched. We only missed out on spotting the rhinos.
Detailed Experience:
We started planning our trip to Kenya in Oct'24 during July-Aug and exploring options for Safari online. Searched online, asked friends who have visited etc. We finally decide to go with two tour operators but Axis Safaris came out as winner as they were in our budget and promised a good Safari.
From the start, we reached out to the contact number mentioned on the website via WhatsApp and Cynthia replied to us. Communication with Cynthia was easy and straightforward. She was responsive and answered all our questions. All her responses were timely.
Coming to the tour, we booked a 3 day tour which includes pickup and drop-off from Nairobi, food three times a day and accomodation, and lastly ofcourse the safari game drives. It costed us USD650 per person.
The safari was, as mentioned on the top, exceptionally beautiful. It beat my expectations. The camp we stayed at was good. Food was okay, breakfast was the best of the three meals in the day. The staff at the camp were very helpful and friendly. We had to charge our phones and cameras from 6 pm to 10 pm at the camp as there is no power and they switch on the generator during that time, which we thought would be a problem but we managed to charge all our devices fully.
To conclude, I would recommend Axis Safaris for booking your safari at Masai Mara.
