Amazing Adventure With Axis
My fiance and I did a 4 Day 3 Night Budget Group Sharing Safari in the Masai Mara with Axis.
Everything was seamless from the moment I sent my first enquiry. They were very quick to reply and happily answered all of my questions. I wanted to surprise my fiance with a hot air balloon safari on his birthday and the whole team was involved in making sure he didn't find out until the morning of (allowing me to pay for the balloon separately, rushing me out into a back room after a game drive whilst distracting my fiance so I could be briefed for the balloon ride without him finding out). Cannot thank them enough, he had the most memorable birthday ever.
We opted for the 4WD Safari Landcruiser and I would strongly recommend everybody else does the same, because the roads are very bumpy and muddy if there's been rain. We saw many 2WD cars and even the 4WD Safari vans get stuck.
We were picked up on time on the first day of the safari and taken to the Axis Offices in the CBD to meet our guide and group. For the first two days of the tour our guide was Khalifa- he kept us very entertained with jokes and stories and soon felt like family. His driving is to be commended because as I mentioned the roads were very rough and boggy and we saw countless other Landcruisers get stuck but his experience showed when he navigated the roads effortlessly and kept us out of trouble the entire time! He also worked extra hard to make sure we saw loads of amazing wildlife (which he was very knowledgeable about) including a Black Rhino!!
On our third and fourth day we had a new guide, as our original group was only staying two nights. We joined a new group with our new guide Charles K. Charles was very friendly and accommodating, we were lucky enough to see a leopard, multiple cheetah and over 20 lions due to his expert guidance! His driving also ensured we stayed out of trouble and didn't get stuck in any mud!
Our accommodation was at Lenchada Budget Camp which I cannot recommend highly enough. We were pleasantly surprised by the high standard of this camp considering it's a "budget camp". The tent was HUGE and spotlessly clean, the food delicious and plentiful, hot water always available and plenty of electricity in the mornings and evenings in the common area for charging devices. Special mention to their packed lunch which was extremely generous and tasty.
Overall I would highly recommend anybody considering going on safari in Masai Mara to book with Axis. Their prices are extremely competitive and they obviously know what they are doing. Cannot fault them!
Thank you so much team!

very experienced and well organized
Amazing experience! The agency staff was available anytime to clarify any doubt about the Safari tour before the booking and we had no surprises of any type. We are a couple and we choose the 5 days Safari (Masai Mara park, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha, hell's gate). Jack, our guide, has taken care of any needs we had and most importantly he did everything he could to let us see all the big 5 (mission accomplished in 1 day and a half). He explained us many things and answered to all our questions, really an unmeasurable value added to the Safari! Accomodation was in line with expectations, but be prepared for very long bumpy roads!

GREAT!
All the people from the agency have been very nice since the very beginning of our booking process giving us useful details and tips.
During the 5-days safari between Masai Mara, lake nakuru and naivasha we've been always accompanied by our driver and guide Jack. He's been the best driver ever, taking care of all our necessities and making sure we got the best from our game drives. We had a lot of fun with him, he's the best!

100% worth to choose
I can truly recomend the Axix safari company , i choose them base on reviews and i made right choice. The tour guide JACK was amazing very helpful and kind. He put a lot of effort to show as much wild animals as possibile, from big five we haven’t seen only the rihno which is very dificult to spot since is only 100 of them in Masai Mara . I Choose 3days safari in Masai Mara but 5 days safari option would be much more better , if i would now before how good tour guide i have and how amazing people i have meet i would definitelly choose 5 days :)
Best trip in our life, thanks Axis and geeman
Hi there! We have been in many countries like Sri Lanka, Philippines, Middle East and European countries, but this is African trip organised by Axis Africa is our favourite now. It’s wonderful experience and our dream is came true in Kenya. We had a beautiful 5 day road trip and saw a lot of animals, location including boat safari and walking safari, and our driver and tour guide Geeman was super comfortable, respectful and friendly. We so happy and game drive was lucky — a lot of elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras and other animals from big five.
We bought individual tour from Nairobi, it was very nice accommodation near Amboseli and Navashi was fascinating. People in hotels helped us to make our vacation more better. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner was very tasty and delicious and now we with my wife very like African cuisine. Thank you Gerald, geeman, you are the best driver!

Very organized and flexible to accommodate visitors’ needs
The operator (Lennox in particular) was always very responsive and organized throughout the whole booking process, and very flexible to accommodate our specific needs (we needed a different drop off point on the way back). Our guide Joseph was truly amazing, very knowledgeable, kind and fun! He really made our experience unforgettable. We found a great group of people to experience the safari with, which was the cherry on top! Highly recommended !!!

Great experience, worth the price
We booked a budget tour for 12 with Axis and were very pleased. Lennox, from the office, was very quick to answer email and gave complete information. Before our safari started I was given the WhatsApp contact for our guides, who confirmed our pickup time the night before.
Our guides were helpful with answering our myriad of questions about animals, plants, and culture and got us very close to many types of wildlife.

It was a fantastic experience
Good value. Guide was experienced and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and fauna. He knew where to find the different species. The transport vehicles were great as was the camp facility.
