Amazing Safari Experience – Fantastic Service and a Great Guide!
6 Day Safari - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli
We booked our safari with Axis Africa Safaris quite last minute, and they were fantastic from start to finish. They were incredibly accommodating, arranged great accommodation throughout the trip, and were always very responsive on WhatsApp beforehand, patiently answering all of our questions and making sure everything was organised properly.
Unfortunately, our flight into Nairobi was significantly delayed, which meant we missed the original start of our safari. Axis were extremely helpful and quickly arranged a new private transfer for us, allowing us to reach our accommodation that evening and still enjoy a full second day in the Masai Mara. We really appreciated how flexible and helpful they were in making sure the disruption had as little impact on our trip as possible.
A special mention has to go to our amazing guide, Simba. He was brilliant throughout the entire safari: incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the areas we visited, patient, friendly and accommodating to everyone in the group. We never felt rushed, and he always took the time to explain what we were seeing and make sure everyone had the best possible experience. He knew some fantastic spots for wildlife viewing and really made the safari memorable for us.
We had an amazing trip and would highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris, and especially Simba as a guide. Thank you for such a great experience!

5 star+ Safari experience
My family and I have spent 5 interesting, relaxing and exciting days in Masai Mara. Organisation by Jane (Axis Safari) has been perfect, always clear and punctual, everything was according to the plan and Soroi private wings Bush Camp even exceeded our expectations. Our guide Collin Sempele is very, very well informed about wild animals habitat, kenyan culture, and extremely generous with the time spent in game. He pays a lot of attention to everyone’s needs and knows how to behave with different characters. I strongly recommend him.

An Amazing and Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. From the very beginning, the team in the office was helpful, kind and extremely professional. Our drivers, Khalifa & Richard, were also fantastic – very friendly, patient and attentive throughout the entire trip.
They genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience and went above and beyond to make sure we saw as much as possible. They took us deep into the reserve and made every effort to help us spot almost all the animals in the area.
You could really feel that they cared about our experience and wanted us to enjoy every moment. Thanks to their knowledge, dedication and excellent service, we had an exceptional and unforgettable safari experience. We highly recommend Axis Africa to anyone looking for a truly special safari!

Out Tout Guide was amazing. He was really friendly and helpful. Had an amazing time.
We are from India and booked the Axis Safari online for our Kenya Masai Mara Safari and it was a super amazing experience. It was really smooth and refreshing. We could saw all the Big 5 and the Ugly five as well because of our amazing tour guide. Overall it was a fantastic time.

Amazing safari experience in Masai mara
We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience in Kenya with "Axis Africa safaris"
From the beginning with Lucy, the company representative, who took such great care of us throughout the entire process. She was always available, made sure everything was confirmed and organized and kept us updated with all the necessary information.
A huge part of our amazing experience was thanks to our amazing driver and guide, Richard!
From the very beginning, Richard was professional, friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. Throughout the safari, he explained everything we saw in such an interesting way — from the animals and their behavior to the landscape, nature, and local environment.
He was always happy to answer our questions and share his knowledge with us.
Richard went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. He knew exactly where to go and made every effort to ensure that we saw all the animals we were hoping to see. Thanks to his experience, patience, and sharp eyes, we had some truly unforgettable wildlife encounters!
We were traveling as a family with children, and Richard made everyone feel comfortable, safe, and involved throughout the entire trip.
we would recommend him without hesitation to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Perfect
We joined this tour with some good guys.
First of all, this tour is the best of our journeys. Before coming to Kenya, I was so worried about so many points, but thanks to our guide, we were spending a wonderful days without any anxious.
Second, each camp and hotel is over my expectations.
Once again we would like to tell my appreciation to our guide.

Excellent
We had a wonderful 7 days in Kenya with Axis Safaris and our wonderful guides Yasin and Jombe. They took such good care of us, provided lots of water for the game drives and were very knowledgeable on the best vantage points to see the wildlife. We managed to see the Big 5 (plus 2 cheetahs!), the great migration and even a river crossing where we were the only 2 cars there (we waited for a relatively short 2 hours by the river bank). Thanks Yasin and Jombe for encouraging us to be patient and quiet so we could see that once in a lifetime experience. Thank you also for taking such great pictures of us, driving us safely, and for sharing so much information about Kenya and its incredible wildlife. We had an epic trip and we hope to be back again!

Incredible
Hi there. I've just completed day 3 of my 4 day safari with Kelvin from Axis Africa Expedition and Safaris. Everything about this tour has surpassed my expectations. I have been trying to do this safari for over a decade so I was a little nervous. All of the communication with Tabitha was so easy and very timely. Her service was excellent right from the beginning.
When the tour started, Kelvin was amazing from the start. The driving alone is so hard on these treacherous roads and he made us feel very safe. He was incredible at finding these amazing moments and memories on the tour. I know some of it was luck but you can tell he's VERY experienced and he has great connections with many other drivers, to help find us the best moments with the animals. We saw ALL of the big five by day two!! He was very warm and knowledgeable, but also always professional. If you get Kelvin as your guide, you've truly locked out.
Amboseli , Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru : Absolument génial.
Mr. Kiambati was our guide and driver throughout our stay in Kenya. He is a very experienced driver, and Kenyan roads can sometimes be challenging. The A109 between Nairobi and Mombasa is heavily used by trucks, while the other paved roads also have their fair share of surprises.
On safari, Robert is truly the “eyes and ears of the savannah”. Always highly focused on the tracks and attentive to the slightest signs of animal presence, he gave us an unforgettable experience. We probably saw the widest possible range of local wildlife — from the safety of our vehicle, of course, as walking through tall grass to admire the determination of a dung beetle is still not particularly advisable!
He knows exactly how to position his vehicle, while fully respecting the safety rules in force in the parks, as close as possible to the “action”. At the same time, he understands and respects the priorities and unwritten rules that exist between safari drivers. Quick and responsive when necessary, he also knows when to slow down and let us enjoy the peace, quiet and vastness of the landscapes we were travelling through.
His academic knowledge of the wildlife and species found across the African continent was extremely enlightening. As an academic specialist in ornithology, but also a passionate expert on the great cats, he can tell you all about the different lion prides of the Maasai Mara — and you will absolutely love listening to him.
His many friendships with researchers, park rangers, guides from other companies, as well as with the many people we met during our stay, were not only evidence of the respect and authority he has earned, but also a guarantee that we would receive a warm welcome wherever we went.
Finally, the time we spent talking with him in the vehicle about history, geology, politics and everyday life in Kenya allowed us to gain an even deeper appreciation and understanding of this wonderful country.
For all these reasons, I would recommend Robert and Axis Africa without hesitation. A huge THANK YOU to him and all the team of Axis once again for helping us discover Kenya. We sincerely hope to return one day!
