Ideal family safari in breathtaking Kenya
From the initial booking communication to our final farewell with Captain Khalifa, our experience with Axis Africa Safari has been seamless, professional, and one where they continually went the "extra mile."
They accommodated our family of 5 (kids preteen and teens) on the private, midrange accommodation at a great value for the price. Axis took care of everything: hotels, airport pickup, itinerary, special requests, even provided us with t-shirts upon arrival which was a fun souvenir.
The game drives with eagle-eyed Captain Khalifa were spectacular. With 15 years of safaris under his belt, he made the safari unforgettable for us while we saw male lions snacking on a giraffe in Masai Mara, a black rhino mother and daughter grazing and hyena feeding her newborns in Nakuru and a fish eagle swoop down for his lunch in Naivasha. Khalifa was full of information about the animals and plants and kept up his congenial character with park rangers, other guides, locals, and answering the millions of questions we peppered him with!
Thanks, Axis Africa, for making this memorable trip so easy -- we just showed up and you did the rest!

Professional, friendly and accommodating
Honestly, we had one of the best times of our lives! Our guide, John Papa, made the safari experience fun, meaningful, and truly memorable. We’re so glad we chose Axis and would 100% recommend them. The accommodation was fabulous too—actually better than we expected. Great value for money. Everyone was so lovely and friendly.

Great!
Our safari was an unforgettable adventure—and we owe it all to our incredible guide, Dickson. From the very first moment, it was clear we were in expert hands. Dickson wasn’t just knowledgeable—he was genuinely passionate, warm-hearted, and had an extraordinary talent for spotting wildlife.
Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five within the first two days, but what made the experience truly special was the way he brought the landscape to life. His stories, insights into animal behavior, and deep connection to nature made every drive feel magical.
Dickson made us feel completely safe and cared for while fully immersing us in the wild. His humor, dedication, and love for the land were infectious. He went out of his way to ensure we had the best views, captured the perfect photos, and created memories we’ll treasure forever.
This safari simply wouldn’t have been the same without him. Dickson is the heart and soul of the journey, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had him as our guide. If you’re planning a safari, ask for Dickson—he’s the reason our trip was truly perfect. Thank you, Dickson, for making our dream a reality!

Superb Operator, Amazing Guide
We did a six-day, mid-range, private Safari organized by Axis. The trip included Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Naivasha. We planned things primarily over WhatsApp, and the team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The planning and communication was easy. They answered all of our questions, and even worked some magic on their side when the Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization system was down right before our trip.
The hotels they planned for us in all three locations were great, especially the Sopa lodges in Nakuru and Naivasha. Despite booking a "mid-range" safari, those two hotels felt very luxurious!
Our Guide, Khalifa, was AMAZING. His knowledge of the flora and fauna was unmatched, and he was constantly explaining details of all of the animals we were seeing. He also kept the long drives entertaining by sharing fun stories about Kenya, its people, and its animals. Most importantly, however, Khalifa knows everyone: Almost all of the other drivers and rangers. This was especially vital in Masai Mara, where Khalifa's amazing networking skills meant that he was constantly on the phone and radio hearing about animal sightings and taking us there. In Masai Mara, for example, he found three cheetahs, a pack of female lions and cubs, three male lions facing off, two leopards in a tree, and so much more! Khalifa made our experience incredible, and I can't recommend him enough. He knows the right stuff, and the right people, to give you an unforgettable experience.

Perfect Safari with Dickson
Absolutely unforgettable! Our safari experience was nothing short of magical, and the person who made it all possible was the one and only Dickson. From the first warm welcome to the final wave goodbye, Dickson turned every moment into a memory we’ll cherish forever.
Dickson is not just a guide—he’s a storyteller, a wildlife expert, and someone who radiates passion for nature. His deep knowledge, paired with an extraordinary ability to spot animals from miles away, meant that we not only saw the Big Five early on, but also learned something new with every encounter. Every time Dickson spoke, we were captivated—whether he was explaining a lion’s hunting strategy or sharing local traditions and bush wisdom.
There was never a dull moment with Dickson. His sense of humor kept us laughing, his care and attentiveness made us feel completely safe, and his enthusiasm for the land and its creatures was simply inspiring. Thanks to Dickson, every sunrise game drive felt like an adventure, every sunset like a gift.
We honestly can’t imagine doing a safari without Dickson. His presence elevated everything, and we are beyond grateful for the experience he gave us. If you’re lucky enough to go on safari, do yourself a favor—request Dickson. You’ll leave with stories, photos, and a heart full of gratitude. Thank you, Dickson, for making our wildest safari dreams come true!

Jack is an excellent, personable guide with years of experience and connections we benefited from.
It is hard to describe how amazing our Kenya safari tour with Axis was. Each of the locations we visited (Masai Mars, Nukuru, Naivasha) had amazing animals,lodgings food, and service. Our guide, Jack, is well known and loved in the guide community and was able to collaborate with other guides to make sure we got to see the best spottings of the day, wherever we were. The whole trip wad like a highlight reel for us. We traveled as a family with 3 kids 5 to 10 and another family of 5, kids 9 to 15. Everyone had a marvelous time from oldest to youngest. The whole experience was smooth, safe, and enjoyable for all. I highly recommend it! Communication with Axis was easy and efficient throughout.
