Reliable, knowledgeable and fun!
Me, my family and my in laws (eight of us in total) had a fabulous time on safari - we travelled from Nairobi to Amboseli, then on through Tsavo West and Tsavo East and after 4 nights / 5 days we were dropped at the coast.
Prior to the trip Lennox was SO patient, knowledgeable and kind as I sorted the booking, the itinerary and he gave me great advice on the accomodation also. He barely flinched at the 20-30 emails I sent him as we finalised everything (and he replied to every single one!!).
We had two vehicles, and our guides, Robert and Ken were absolutely fantastic. My partner and I are keen on birds, so a target of 150 species in 4 days was set - and met (well, 148) as well as being lucky enough to get super views of Kilimanjaro, see lions, cheetah, hundreds of elephants, buffalo, various antelopes and a leopard tortoise!! Robert and Ken really know their stuff, and we had such fun on this trip. They made it interesting and fun for everyone and took us to some amazing places we would never have found on our own. The vehicles were in super condition - i have done a lot of driving in east and southern Africa and these landcruisers were super, and Ken & Robert were really solid, sensible drivers.
I can't really recommend Axis Africa highly enough - we all had an amazing time. Already looking forward to the next 150 birds on our next trip!

This was an incredible experience I will cherish forever, truly the trip of a lifetime
We recently returned home from our 3 day safari, 1/2-1/5 with our guide Ken. Words cannot express how much we enjoyed this experience. It was truly the trip of a lifetime, we are so lucky to have done this. I will never forget it. We saw every animal you could want, including the big 5, practically on the first day. I felt extremely safe throughout the entire process, including the transportation to and from the Masai Mara from Nairobi.
Ken was a big part of why our experience was so amazing. He was kind, enjoyable to spend hours with, extremely knowledgeable about the animals and where to spot them, and he truly wanted us to have nothing less than an amazing trip. He even coordinated our covid tests for us to be done in the park and then flown to Nairobi to be resulted (which was a huge anxiety for me prior to our trip, given the US’s strict 1 day before your return flight rule.
If you’re questioning booking, just do it!!! You will have the best experience ever. Tip- rent or bring a really good camera lens with long range, 500mm, we did and our photos turned out to be stunning.

Absolutely wonderful!
We had the most amazing time on Safari over Christmas 2021. There were 8 of us in our party so had two land cruisers both of which were in excellent condition and very comfortable considering you spend a lot of time in the car. We were picked up in Nairobi and travelled to Amboseli, and Tsavo West and East before being dropped at the coast. Our drivers, Ken and Robert, were excellent. Super friendly, very knowledgable and could tailor the safari to the interest of the group (mainly looking at the lovely birds). They also took time to teach the group about landscape, animals and Kenya as a country which was super interesting. Highlight for me was seeing approx 100 elephants with the backdrop of Kilimanjaro - a sight that was so special and one I will not forget. I'd highly recommend Axis Safari to anyone.

Incredible experience with incredible guides
Wow ... what an experience. We had an amazing safari trip with Axis, 8 people in two cars with two amazing guides (Ken & Robert). We travelled from Nairobi to Amboseli and then through Tsavo West & East and I couldn't have asked for anything more.
The trip itself was amazing, the route was great and we saw amazing animals. The cars were comfortable and getting water each day was a small but fantastic detail!
The guides we had were incredibly knowledgeable about what we were seeing and had a sixth sense about where to go to see amazing things (Lions, cheetahs, 100+ elephants at one time!) and it made the trip a trip of a lifetime.
I'd highly, highly recommend Axis, Ken & Robert.
Thank you for an amazing experience and one that I'll never forget!

Unforgettable experience
We did a 3 nights/4 days safari of Maasai Mara/ Nakuru / Naivasha.
Everything went smoothly mainly because of our guide Jimmy who presented the country in best possible way. He managed to do fantastic game drives and make it possible to observe rare species.
Communication with Lennox was always swift and efficient.
My personal highlight was watching a leopard with its prey on a tree.

Amazing experience with experienced driver
Came back to Axis for second time and was even better than the first time. Lennox is always a quick responder and even helped with slight changes due to my flight being delayed. Easy and professional communication, great customization options.
Went to Amboseli-Tsavo West-Tsavo East. Ken, our driver, was absolutely superb at driving and game spotting, really enjoyable to talk to and just an overall great guy! Saw the Big 5 and cheetahs so overall great experience. The Tsavo accommodations were a little underwhelming but that is down to customers accommodation choices, not the company.

Amazing! An exhausting but fabulous experience!
I had not imagined that Kenya was so wonderful. So much life and splendor!
We were lucky to be guided by Peter, an amazing guide. Thanks to him, we felt safe with our children throughout the trip.
During the safaris in the parks, he led us to meet the big five and made us discover extraordinary scenes. He has the eye of a lynx and is sure to spot big cats and birds of prey and he knows all about flora and fauna. He had the patience to answer all our questions, both on the behavior of wild animals and on local customs.
He was also very attentive to our preferences so that we were always well placed to obtain extraordinary points of view and photos, even paying attention to the orientation of the light so that our photos were perfect. Really very considerate. The children and I loved discovering the baby animals and he quickly noticed it and did everything to show them to us... Really, this trip was great! It's physically demanding but we will keep an unforgettable memory.

Amazing and Exceptional
It was an exceptional experience of 3nights/4days in Masaï Mara, our trip included safari in this national reserve, lake naivasha, masaï mara's village and lake nakuru.
We were lucky to be guided by our driver KEVIN, we felt so safe with him and thanks to him we saw many animals like leopard, lion, giraffe, elephant...
