Amazing trip to the Masai Mara with experienced guides
We traveled to Masai Mara in November and i must say the trip was quite unforgettable.
We were able to spot all the Big 5 and many other animals thanks to our experienced and knowledgeable guides James and Joshua who were very good in searching for the animal locations. The tented camp was also a thing to remember, very comfortable place. We enjoyed breathtaking views of the great rift valley and the mount Longonot from the view point where we stopped enroute for photography.
Our contact Lennox was also very helpful in adjusting our schedule when we had a last minute change and made sure the whole trip was flawless.
We thank Axis for the unforgettable trip and we look forward to meeting you guys again next year.

Amazing experience in Masai Mara- Kenya
The tour was well planned and guided. The knowledge of Richard who took us for the 4 days was really commendable . We didn't even realize that we travelled over 1000 kms in 4 days covering Masai Mara, Lake Nivasha and Lake Nakuru. May be some improvement can be done at Lenchada camp with regards to the food. Otherwise no complaints at all. Well organized trip. Before as well as during the trip, the response from Mr Lennox was super fast.
You get what you pay for
We went with the budget option but even so considering the price is nothing to complain about. The safari experience itself was very good.

A great time in an amazing environment
The memory of my three day safari in Masai Mara will stay with me forever. It was an amazing experience to come so close to so many beautiful wild animals. We saw the big five, and so many more animals. Our guide was nice, the group was nice and we stayed at a nice camp close to Masai Mara, sleeping in comfortable beds in tents. The only thing I am a bit hesitant about, is that I think we got too close to the animals. It was absolutely not only us, but almost every other van from other companies (mostly Bonfire), that drove very close to the animals, and we were about 15-20 vans in the same spot sometimes. I later, when I got back, read that you're not supposed to be more than five vans and you're not supposed to get close than 25 metres from the animals.
I wish more companies would respect that. (as I said before, it semis almost no one doesn't). And of course I was really happy to see so many animals so close, but when for example four cheetahs surrounding a zebra were followed, and in their turn surrounded by 20 vans - it didn't feel as if it were on the animals' conditions.
But overall it was amazing to see so many animals, and our guide really did his best to find lots of them.

Great Safari!
Axis was a great Safari to take. I made the booking last minute and Lennox responded instantly and had no problem helping me get on a trip to Massai Mara.
We had a great guide in Martin and saw all of the big 5 in one day! Would recommend Axis for a trip. Would go with them again!

Amazing experience of the wild
Our family of 3 thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Our 8 day trip covered Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo West. We saw up-close most of the Big 5 (Rhinos are the rarest!!). The hotels (Sopa Lodge in Mara & Amboseli, Lake Nakuru Lodge & Ngulia Safari Lodge in Tsavo) were well maintained and service was friendly. The hot air balloon ride in Mara is a must do. Issac, our driver/ guide was well versed with the surroundings and has a keen sense about the various animals and birds.
Be prepared for long drives when travelling between the locations.

My experience with Axis Africa Safaris to Mara National reserve was awesome.
Communication was very effective i.e there were no delays of any kind.Their services were incredible from pick up at my preferred point in Nairobi town,the stops for our day meals were up to my expectation and the tented camps were spectacular.The game drives surpassed my expectations,Richard our driver/guide was very conversant with the animals and the reserve itself so we able to see and learn about every animal in the reserve.

Amazing caring people
This trip was last minute and I only started researching few days prior to the arrival date. I had lot of questions and things to figure out which Lennox made it easy and simple for me. He was so prompt and responsive to every queries from the beginning. He'd reply within few hours. For me, this is what stood out! After exchanging few e-mails, I knew I could trust him, this was important as I was travelling and doing the safari alone.
Dennis the guide/driver was knowledgeable, kind and caring person, he did everything to make my trip enjoyable. I got sick the last day of the safari, he took me to the pharmacy few times to buy different medicines. He'd constantly check up on me if I was okay, asked if I took the medicine etc. While we were in Masai Mara, Lennox would call and ask if I had found a place in Nairobi to stay since I hadn't booked a hotel after the safari. To them, you aren't just another person who shows up to do safari. They genuinely care, wants you to have the best time and will do everything to make it happen!
It was great
Everything was very Good. We slept in a "tent" and did not expect it to be as good as it was.. with your own toilet and shower.
