Incredible and amazing experience where we saw a LOT of wildlife up close! Very well-organized
A good guide knows where the animals are; a great one is flexible, learning quickly what their clients are looking for and finding ways to deliver it. Jack from Axis was definitely the latter. One of our group on our 9-day safari had a high-powered camera, and getting the right angle and lighting is actually more important than getting as close as possible. Jack picked this up quickly and we were able to get some fantastic pictures as a result.
Jack found us all the animals we were looking for and then some, and we had some extraordinary experiences. Nursing baby elephants, boxing lionesses, a hyena and vultures feasting on a fresh kill. Everything was well-arranged and went smoothly.
Some notes for others considering a safari (and feel free to reach out with questions):
- BRING A GOOD CAMERA. If you bring a cheap one, you’ll be tempted to get dangerously close to the animals to get a usable photo. That temptation is hard to resist. We saw a leopard almost get hit by another outfit’s jeep because the tourists in it wanted a cell phone selfie.
- You’ll see the most animals in Masai Mara, but because it’s so crowded the quality of sighting isn’t as good. We had elephants come right up to the jeep in Samburu and investigate it with their trunks. No way you’ll see that in Masai Mara.
- Carnivores are always more rare than herbivores. If you see one or think you see one, you should stop. No guarantee you’ll see another.
- I’d recommend doing either Lake Nakuru OR Lake Naivasha. They’re similar environments. Of the two Lake Nakuru had flamingos, but it was also much more crowded.
- Samburu was amazing but quite a drive, consider shelling out for a flight if your budget allows it. It will save you a full day of driving.
- Kenya isn’t exactly a foodie destination, but if you come in with the right expectations, it’s fine.
- Don’t be put off by all the high-powered rifles; they’re for poachers, not robberies/assaults of people.

From the moment we reached out to them, their communication was prompt, informative, and tailored to my interests. They provided detailed itineraries and were always available to address my queries, making the planning process a breeze.
The service throughout the safari was outstanding. Kush was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife, ensuring every game drive was both thrilling and educational. The mid range accommodations were good, offering comfort amidst the wilderness.
Overall, the tour itself was a breathtaking adventure. From the awe-inspiring wildlife sightings to the serene beauty of the landscapes, every moment was memorable. I highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris to fellow travelers looking for a seamless and extraordinary safari experience.

Great photography experience
I had a great experience in Masai Mara and Nakuru. I am a photographer and our very considerate guide Leroy put a lot of effort to give me the best angels to get the best shots. In term of management and time there is a place for improvement. In general I recommend our guide if you look for a considerate guide for some pro photography activity.

Amazing Kenya safari
Amazing Experience! I had no idea what to expect, and it turned to be awesome. Tour guide Kelvin was simply terrific. We were lucky to have him. Down to earth, easy going, experienced and going extra mile to help us experience authentic Kenya safari. I highly recommend him.
