Reviews
Professional and great experience
Had a great experience. Our guide Rodger was extremely knowledgeable and made for an amazing experience in the Masai Mara! He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Overall our trip was organized really well, from transportation to hotel lodging. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience with excellent communication
The communication from beginning to the end was immaculate, the places where we stayed at, our guide Roger, everything was amazing. I can easily recommend their services to anyone.

Confident, professional and attentive to needs of the group
Jimmy was a a fantastic tour operator. He was very informative but didn’t overload you with information. He made sure we were happy and comfortable the whole time. I felt completely at ease with him driving the truck even through some very difficult situations( there was a lot of rain and the road was extremely difficult to drive on).
There is a a lot of driving but Jimmy was very reliable and accommodating to any stops we needed. He also was very skilled and mannerly at getting great spots on the safari to get the best and safest view of the animals. There are other truck in the tour but he alway managed to get us a great spot.
I would definitely recommend the tour for the price as well. I checked a few company and am definitely I decided on this.

Precise, punctual, caring
Even though I was staying 20 minutes outside of Nairobi, the team sent my way Francis to pick me up and bring me to the meeting point with the rest of the group. He was in front of my place 5 minutes earlier and brought me to the office first, to meet the whole team and to get briefed about the experience, and then to the meeting point.
There I met our guide Moses and the rest of the group. Moses has been an incredible guide. He is pragmatic, skilled and knowledgeable. He made sure that the whole group was always comfortable and was always smiling and cheerful. His driving skills are insane and even though the road is very bumpy and slippery, he always made us feel safe.
During the game drives he always made sure to go for the unbeaten tracks in order for us to get the best views of every animal, and did everything he could to look for animals that we hadn't seen yet. On our way back he offered to drop me off closer to my stay and even called a taxi for me to get home safe.
The accommodation was comfortable and food was simple but tasteful and healthy, they also provide vegetarian options.

Fantastic experience, would do again
Did the 3 day Masai Mara safari and it was an excellent experience. Got to see an amazing quantity of animals including most of the Big 5 (the rhinos were elusive). Seeing some of the migrations were stunning and the trip to the Masai village was an enlightening experience. Our guide Khalifa was amazing: funny, extremely knowledgeable and very engaging. Would highly recommend

Responsive and efficient.
We booked the MasaiMara-Lake Nakuru-Lake Naivasha safari with Axis. The trip was excellent. The office coordinator and the tour guide, both were polite and adept.

Friendly, good value and good communication.
I thought Axis Africa were good communicators via email and WhatsApp before and during the trip. The accommodations were comfortable including for our elderly grandparent. Everyone went out of their way helping her. The game drives were nice and long and we saw tons of animals. The driver knew the best spots around the park. He usually did not say more than just the animal name, so sometimes I wish he would explain more, although he did when asked. The Maasai village visit was worth it, it was fascinating, just be prepared because it is also a vehicle for selling souvenirs. The 3 day safari involves a lot of time in the car (6 hours to and from the Park, and 10 hour game drives) so be prepared for that as well. Grandma left happy.
They provided the best guide king Julius
If the review was about our guide only I'd give 10 stars.
Julius was absolutely superb , kind, funny, knowledgeable, and got us so respectfully close to get us those picture perfect moments we dreamt of . Julius was considerate with each different member of the group and catered for every bodies needs constantly with a smile and a sense of humour.
Axis themselves were well priced , their accommodation choices were superb we stayed at the Sopa lodges and they are nothing short of perfect ( we even got engaged in one )
My only negative is that their communication styles need to be improved , and their logistics of where guests are staying need to be considered more .
However Julius made our trip into a dream come true .
Thank you Julius .
