Perfectly performed 3-day trip from Nairobi to Masai Mara thanks to their effortless support.
5/5

Made my booking on internet and the company contacted me almost immediately to confirm my booking and so they continued throughout the whole safari. Called me to inform me when I would be picked up from my hotel, when in Mara the pick up times for trips into the park and so on. In Mara everything possible was done so we would be able to see as much animals as possible, of course the Big Five as well.
On our way back to Nairobi one of us became sick and had to visit a medical clinic, before we could continue, pwhich had not been so easy to do without the effortless support from their driver, The Captain (Abdullah).
I definitely recommend the company to those who wants to go to Masai Mara.

Excellent safari: best value for money!
5/5

oked a 3 day safari with Axis and I must say, far exceeded my expectations. Got picked up from my hotel on time with 2 large suitcases and they had no problem with it. Simon, our tour guide made everything seamless, really friendly and made our experience one to remember. His efforts to ensure our safety and that we had fun was a testament of his genuine nice character. He made sure he met our expectations during the 3 days, he made sure we found all the animals on our list by working with other game drivers. The accommodation was very comfortable and safe. Security was very high. Food was great especially breakfast. Hot shower available all day. Tents were secured. Electricity from in he morning & 630pm to 10pm. Water available in the van while your exploring. Overall, excellent experience. Will highly recommend

Absolutely great experience!
5/5

I really enjoyed every moment of planning my trip and being on safari with Axis. The driver, Joshua, was really wonderful. He kept our tour informed and excited about the adventure. It is clear he has a great passion for this work and that was shared with the group. We were also accompanied by a guide in training, Stan, who was a great addition. He helped Joshua spot animals including a momma hippo and her baby! The tour couldn't have been better.

This affordable safari is great for solo travelers who are into the backpacking style.

An Amazing Experience
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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
5/5

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.
