It was so si good, they did everything we need
The safari was very good, well managed, and we saw all the animals, thanks to our Spanish-speaking guide David, who made a great effort and did everything possible, so he was very attentive and kind to us and made the safari more enjoyable.

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.

Par excellence!
This person went for four days and five days and saw the big five. Like our guide said, "What you won't see at Masai Mara you will see at Nakuru". He was right. Nakuru is a very small National Park. You can drive around it in a couple of hours, but it had a leopard sitting lazily in a tree, a family of white rhinoceros eating grass quietly and a group of giraffes moving in normal speed was like watching giants moving in slow motion. What a fantastic experience!
Fantastic safari
It was a fantantastic experience. Much more than expected. The safari was unforgettable. There were plenty of animals and we had a very good guide, Charles.
The tented camp was nice and the food very good, but they should renew the mattresses.
A very recommended experience.
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 .

Customer friendly
We went on $360 per person experience for a 3D/2N trip to Masai Mara.
A huge shout out to Ms.Monica who handled every tiny query of ours with much patience.Her approach was precisely the reason we went ahead with Axis Africa.
Our stay was super comfortable but with a few issues such as the leaking toilet floor which eventually got sorted out to a certain extent.
The local food was great.
Our driver Saddam was very courteous and respectful.
Our trip to the Masai village was the highlight for our daughter as she loved interacting with the locals.

Very lovely safari trip
Intent on a three day (two nights) trip to Maasai Mara, accommodated at Mara Chui resort.
The communication prior the trip was excellent. I received a quote in less than a day and all my questions were answered promptly via WhatsApp.
The tour itself was very nice thanks to our guide Kelvin. We saw four of the big five and Kelvin could answer all our questions.
Improvements could be made regarding the safety of the vehicles. Seat belts in the safari vehicle were not working but more concerning was the car that took me to the airport after the safari. In the end, I arrived safely but it made me quite nervous during the ride to the airport.
Other than that, I can fully recommend axis safari!

Amazing - once in a lifetime
I want to thank ROBIN for taking care of me and the group during the once in a lifetime safari trip from June 14-18. As a female travelling solo for the first time in Kenya, he really made me feel safe and comfortable! I love that my stuff was actually safe in the car and the accommodations especially since I was carrying my camera and telephoto lens for the first time. What I also loved was he always had water available which was great and much needed. This was my first safari so of course I'll never forget it and he is a part of that.
We saw 4 of the big 5: elephants, lions (lots of them), buffalo, and rhino. Just didn't see the leopard but we saw a beautiful cheetah! He made sure to try to make everyone happy --- stopped for the birdwatchers, the giraffe lovers, and just the general request take the amazing Masai mara scenery in --- thank you for stopping for the sunset!
We saw so many animals - it was like seeing them and learning about them for the first time. Truly a magical experience.
Thank you Robin for your cool personality and for the great adventure. Hope to see you again!

Why 4 stars instead of 5:
1. I hope the tour can be more accomodating to Muslims - one of the restaurants said that everything was halal except the chicken-- I would've eaten it by mistake if I hadn't asked. I was initially told that everything will be halal. A lot of hotels weren't aware of what halal was.... Not sure how this works...
2. Last hotel --- Chambai Safari in Navaisha-- had a glass window like blinds in the bathroom where anyone could see and look into the bathroom!! Please take note to not place any guests there until this is resolved as that's unacceptable. Rest of the accomodations were great!! Especially the resort with the massage -- Jennifer was amazing. The lenchada camp exceeded expectations --- clean - hot showers - decent regular food

They are good
Would love to mention the effort of captain Jackson and Kevin to spot the animal . And they are good drivers too
The hotel thy provided ( jumbo Marasi) was bit dissappointing
