Experience of a lifetime, great company.
Our booking process started with sending them a message here on this website and they replied pretty quick with specific information about the tour duration, stops, stays and prices. We asked them to make some changes to our quote to include an extra day and they gave us the new price right away. They reached out to us ~2 weeks before our safari to confirm everything and then reached out ~2 days before our arrival with information about pick up time, driver name and stuff like that. Overall, the communication was great and I appreciate them reaching out to confirm everything.
Shout out to our guide, Leonard, what a fantastic guy. His attitude during this trip was amazing and he helped us find 4 out of the big 5 in the Masai Mara. He was in constant communication with the other guides to ask what they had seen so we could go there and see the same things as well. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw the only leopard people spotted that day. Thank you Leonard for taking us through Masai Mara.
Overall, great experience and we would book with them again without questions.

In one word: reliable and well organized.
Axis Safari is the best!
I booked our family’s private safari from the Netherlands, entirely remotely. Tabitha responded to all of my questions promptly and was incredibly helpful throughout the process. Everyone was very friendly, reliable, and everything was well organized.
Our game drives with our guide, Richard/Nkoile (Masai name), were absolutely amazing. As a Masai himself, he was able to share a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and their behavior. He was also exceptional at spotting animals. Thanks to his expertise, we saw all of the Big Five! In many cases, we were the first to arrive at sightings, giving us the chance to observe the animals up close and take fantastic photos without the crowds.
I highly recommend Axis Safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience!!

Memorable trip
We did a 5 day trip and we had so much fun. Our tour guide Amos was amazing, he was so knowledgeable and friendly and most importantly he knew all the spots to go to see all the animals. Once in a lifetime experience.

You can see from the vehicle configuration and driver/guide that this is a trustworthy company.
Rodger is an excellent tour guide! He picks us up at the hotel every day on time and prepares everything we need for the day. After the tour, he takes us back to the hotel and arranges everything before leaving. During the trip, he explains things in detail and provides patient service. He is a very dedicated person

highly recommend
Deciding to travel to Africa was a very tough call for me. Given the long‑distance journey and being in a foreign land, I learned from social‑media posts that your tour operator and guide largely shape your entire safari experience. That made me quite nervous ahead of the trip.
As it turned out, however, it was absolutely the right decision. From our initial outreach and itinerary planning all the way to final confirmation, the coordinating staff were incredibly patient and always responded promptly. No disagreements or conflicts arose throughout our trip; every detail was thoughtfully arranged.
I also want to give our guide Rodger my strongest recommendation. Our smooth, fulfilling journey would not have been possible without his dedication and company. Even when our English was disjointed and confusing, he answered all our questions patiently. He enthusiastically shared insights about local culture and natural science throughout the tour. Whenever we raised questions, he would explain things one by one in simple, easy‑to‑understand terms.
We spent long hours on the road during the trip, and Rodger would drive for seven to eight hours at a stretch, which was extremely demanding. He was also highly responsive to all our requests. We felt truly fortunate and privileged to have Rodger as our guide. He turned our Kenya safari into a lifelong, unforgettable memory. I cannot thank him enough. Wish him every success in his work and all the best for his life.
Great experience and service!
I recently undertook a 5-day safari tour with Axis Africa Safaris and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. From the moment we booked until the very end of our trip, the service we received was great. Everything was well organised, communication was excellent, and we felt looked after every step of the way.
The safari itself was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to our fantastic guide; Mimi Kelvin, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, making it a truly memorable trip. Our guide was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and friendly, always taking the time to answer our questions and ensuring we had the best possible wildlife sightings. His enthusiasm and expertise made the entire 5-day tour an absolute pleasure.
A special thank you also to Peter Mungai, who stayed in touch with us throughout the trip. He was always friendly, attentive and incredibly accommodating, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we had the best possible experience. It was reassuring to know they were always available if we needed anything.
If we’re fortunate enough to go on another safari in the future, we wouldn’t hesitate to choose Axis again. They delivered a great experience from start to finish, and we have memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to the whole team for such an incredible adventure!

Excellent guide, communication and experience!
My wife and I chose axis for our honeymoon to Maasai mara and lake Nakuru, before the trip commenced my wife had a few questions around timings, she was able to WhatsApp the operator and they replied quickly and clarified any questions we had, which was excellent.
The organisation of the trip was perfect, from pick up to drop off it was always clear what the plan was or what was to come.
The accommodations we stayed in were all amazing, with all the staff being so helpful and kind, with lake nakuru lodge being a particular highlight.
We had Tom as our guide, who was absolutely amazing and really made the trip special, he was very knowledgeable about the animals and where best to see them in the park.
He was very friendly and genuinely cared about us having a good trip, because of his efforts we were able to see all of the animals we set out to see, we felt as if we could ask any questions about the animals or Kenya as a whole.
Tom genuinely made our trip special and I cannot thank him enough for making our honeymoon a holiday we will reflect on forever.
We also took the opportunity to go on the boat ride/walking safari, and we are so glad we did, getting to be so close to all the animals was an unforgettable experience.
Thank you to Tom and the Axis team for the trip of a lifetime!

Exceeded all expectations. Incredible experience
We had the most amazing time on our honey moon safari. Axis have been absolutely incredible from the very start. They replied to any questions I had prior to the safari on WhatsApp very quickly and were so helpful.
Our tour guide Tom made our whole experience unforgettable. He was so friendly, gave us lots of information about Kenya and the animals and was so passionate about it. We were able to see every single animal we wanted. We saw majority of the big 5 within the first game drive and then the rest in the second game drive. And this was down to Tom’s dedication at finding the animals for us. We were very well looked after during our tour. Both of our accommodations were excellent and the whole trip was so well organised.
The optional activities were INCREDIBLE and so worth the additional money. The people in the Masai village were so friendly and taught us about their culture. The boat ride and the walking safari in Navaisha was unforgettable and a highlight of our trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and that is completely down to Tom and Axis Africa.
