an incredible trip that you have to come!
Really thanks Axis and Francis. I am a solo traveler joining the sharing group for 3-day Masai Mara trip. I guess different people from different operators form the group, someone from jocky(the operator did not answer my email) and Axis. It may happen in sharing group.
First, I really thanks for Cynthia, who with the prompt response and patience, gave me different choices for hotel selection. I think she understood about female solo travelers trouble and gave me the best choices. To consider safety, I select sopa as the hotel. But one thing need to mention, I would like to have balloon safari at the third day, but finally on the second. I think it may because they don’t want to pay one more day entrance fee for Masai Mara Park. Everyone should know the situation (I guess it is a potential rule for every operator).
Second, really appreciated for Francis, our guide with professional driving skills and information networking that knows where to find big five. He always occupied the best position to see animals. Thanks Francis!
Finally, I really happy to meet my team member, We took good photos and shared together, thanks for them!
It is an incredible and amazing trip that you have to come! Really lucky to meet my team member and guide here!

Professional and trust worthy
It is an extremely enjoyable experience with Axis Safari, special thanks to Cynthia and Kevin. We have made tons of changes while discussing the route and schedule. Cynthia is really patient and professional and always responded quickly. Definitely trust Cynthia! On the trip with Kevin, he drove safely and he is definitely an expert in finding animals with great knowledge about different ones. He made the experience super memorable and gave us lots of surprises. If you are looking for Kenya travel agency and tour guide, you would not want to miss Axis.

Professional and experienced
Our trip route is Samburu-Nakuru-Maasai Mara -Naivasha-Ambosali. Our trip advisor is Cynthia. She is very helpful to design the trip. Our communication is very efficient and patient. She always responsed in a short time with clear answers. Without her, we will not have this great experience in Kenya.
It is very important tohave a very experienced tour guide. Our tour guide Kevin has 13years of guide experiwnce. He is taking good care of us during our trip. We managed to see everything we wished! Kevin spotted special Fives in Samburu, Cheatah and leopard in Nakuru, Lions, Hippo and Baffalo etc in Maasai Mara. He is also very knowledgable to share these animals info with us.
In our trip, we had local coffe-ArtCaffe and tried various stuff. We are definately recommended Axis Safari and Kevin!

Cynthia is a good planner,accomodating, prompt in respnding my queries.
We had the most wonderful experience on safari with Axis Africa.The safari helped us to witness several wonderful experience.such as lions mating.Lions, giraffe, elephants crossing our roads.We saw many animals during our 3 days trip at Masai Mara . Jambo mara safari lodge was good to stay. But the experience of staying 1 night in Lencheda delux camp was amazing.Especially the fresh food served by them.
Nakuru game drive was another exiting part.we saw white nd black rhinos, beautiful birds nd flamingos.
At Naivasa we took just the boat ride.We saw feeding of so many hipoos, innumerable special beautiful birds.The eagles diving nd picking up the fish thrown by the boatman was worth watching.
Finally,we took a walk in hell's gate.I will recommend,one should take the pain of getting down to have lifetime experience of that Spectacular scenery including the towering cliffs,water-gouged gorges,stark rock towers nd a natural spa.
I will strongly recommend to choose Axis Africa for safari in Kenya to everyone.They are professional, reasonable cost nd fun to be with.During safaris communication of the driver/guide was very good nd clear.

I would say he is an extremely funny extrovert and very knowledgeable.
The trip was amazing and one in a life time experience. My friends and I booked a three day Masa Masa Safari through Axis Africa Safaris in Kenya. The staff at the main office greeted us warmly and made our entire process smooth from day one of our journey. The tour guide provided to us was Francis Ngugi (Faru). In my opinion he is knowledgeable about everything within the reserve park and outside. He answered every question we had plus gave more context to the subject. His personality is one of a kind. Francis was funny while assisting with any favors we might have wanted and drove us to the perfect spots to get the best pictures possible of the wildlife. He seems to really love his job. We spotted all of the big 5 animals (lion, cheetah, elephant, rhino and lepoard) which is very rare to do making the trip even more incredible than it already was. I definitely recommend anyone booking to specifically ask for him. Overall the trip and experience I would say was a 10/10.

Amazing experience with Francis Ngugi (Faru), great information throughout the tour and entertaining
Great experience! Saw the big 5! Great information throughout the tour and increíble views.
Francis, was exceptional from the moment we were picked up to the last goodbye.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a 3-day safari to the Maasai Mara, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Francis, was exceptional from the moment we were picked up to the last goodbye. His expertise and deep knowledge of the Mara's wildlife and terrain truly made the trip stand out.
From the first day, Francis ensured we were well taken care of, offering insights into the local Maasai culture and traditions, which added a layer of depth to the journey. His familiarity with the land meant we were always in the right spots at the right time to witness incredible wildlife moments. The Big Five? We saw them all, and more! Francis’ keen eyes and patience led us to witness a cheetah on a hunt, a pride of lions lounging under the sun, and a herd of wildebeest preparing to cross the Maasai river.
What truly impressed me was Francis’ passion for conservation. He was very respectful of the animals and their space, ensuring our safari was not only thrilling but also ethical. He took time to answer all our questions and share stories that made the entire experience richer.
Our budgeted tent accommodation was comfortable. The meals were ok, and each day felt perfectly paced with game drives, relaxation, and sundowners. But it was Francis who truly elevated the experience. His warm personality, professionalism, and dedication made us feel like we were in safe, knowledgeable hands.
If you're considering a Maasai Mara safari, I highly recommend this tour and especially the guiding services of Francis.

Incredible safari with the BEST guides!!!
Wow! What an amazing experience! Axis Safari was a great tour operator with excellent communication over Whatsapp. Everything was well organized and professional. But, I have to recognize our amazing guide Roger and his intern Wyclef! They are excellent guides!!! It makes such a difference when you have a good guide. We saw other tourists who were NOT able to see animals in Mara. Thankfully we had experienced guides who knew all the tricks so we ALL of the BIG 5! Thank you again.
