Excellent Tour we saw the big 5
Booked the 3 day / 2 nights tour from Nairobi to Masai Mara including a ballon safari on the last day.
It was a great tour and we sawlost of animals and the big 5 .
They even dropped me off at the airport on the last day, I highly recommend this tour.

Up close with the the big 5.
The drivers are amazingly knowledgeable about the best spots to find animals and we managed to see so many and really close. It is a long a bumpy ride from Nairobi to the camp but well worth it, all the staff were really hospitable and the camp was perfect for what I needed, lovely food. Also would recommend the visit to the Masai Mara village.

Excellent safari
Rachel and Dennis are very helpful and friendly. We saw all the big five on the full day safari in Day 2. It was a very pleasant trip.

Wonderful Kenya first time safari holiday , surpassed expectations !
My daughter and I had a fantastic week on our very first safari experience , a 7 day safari tour arranged through Axis Africa. We went to Masai Mara, lake navaisha , Nakuru and Amboselli. We had the services of Joshua a fab driver / guidewho was so skilful in spotting where to view the exciting wildlife and so full of interesting information as well as a careful driver. We saw such a wide amazing range of animals including quite a number of lions in M Mara as well as Amboselli. If you are lucky to have a good guide like Joshua, you will have a fab experience. We enjoyed the variety of activities including gorge walk in Hells Gate , boat ride on LakeNavaisha to see hippos etc. The week exceeded my expectations to be able to see so many exciting animals in their natural habitat.
Lennox , manager from Axis was very prompt in responding to all queries through the enquiry, booking and payment process . He was able to customise to my request to join a small group tour , of 6 ( rather than private tour) while opting for midrange accommodation ( instead of budget options) and we enjoyed the company of our fellow travellers who were on shorter itineraries ( a couple of them may have booked through other tour operators, the companies collaborate closely ) . By time of our last 2 days we were down to a private group of 2. the Sopa lodges and Kibo luxury tents were of high standards, esp the lake Navaisha Sopa lodge ( luxurious, very spacious suite ) with zebras, water bucks, giraffe in the grounds, hippos from the lake. !, You can definitely trust Axis, which was much cheaper compared to tours offering much less if booked through a U.K. Tour operator and also best price for our choices compared to other local operators. Although Axis is not listed with KATO ,they have a sister company Jocky tours which is KATO registered. Payment options are flexible too. The tour information on accommodation options is very good , you can directly check up the specific camps / lodges to decide . I was very pleased to have chosen Axis Africa to organise a great safari experience .

Amazing
Just came back today from Masai Mara safaris, and couldn't resist the temptation to write the review. Richard, our guide and driver was fantastic. His knowledge about the routes within Masai and his connects with all the tour guides helped us to see the Big 5 on the first day itself, within few hours. We were lucky enough o see 3 rhino out of 47 in the Masai park. Lions were in plenty and so were cheetah and leopard. Richard, ensured we were fully comfortable in the tents and also had ample water bottles for the entire journey. His knowledge about the different species of animal is commendable. He really ensured that he went all out to ensure we get the expired eif a lifetime. Thanks Richard and team for this great trip. I am surely coming again with you guys again soon.

Amazing safari experience
From the very start of the process the booking was handled with great professionalism, queries being answered promptly and without any hint that I was being a bother. Everything was communicated clearly and the plans were all top class. A small hitch with the driver from our hotel to the pick up point was ironed out easily and our driver/safari guide was really knowledgeable and an excellent driver. We were able to see far more animals than I had even hoped and the Sopa lodges were excellent.

Amazing Amboseli
Amboseli National Park is the perfect place if you like elephants, and how better with the amazing view of Mont Kilimanjaro. And Axis Africa Safari were in charge of making this experience amazing. They are worried about looking for the perfect accommodation depending on your money, and in my case, the lodge were really luxury. But the best of the safari were the guides, that were really attentive about our wellness, about what did we want to see, and they always were at time for seeing the wonder animals in the park.
Great service!

Beautiful Maasai Mara!
After a recommendation from a friend we took a 3 day safari with Dennis and Richard as the driver. They were both friendly and we had a lot of fun in the car. They always had us on location when animals were about, we saw all the favourites and more!
This company was excellent value for money and we were so happy with what we got out of the trip. We're even looking to book another tour with them soon, Thanks so much!

Beyond Perfect.
I found Axis Africa Safaris while i was browsing about Kenya and the travel agencies. I read couple of reviews and they sounded very genuine. So, i thought to give it a try and i am glad that i did. It was my first solo trip and i was nervous but Eric and Team, made my 5 days and 4 night stay wonderful.
I had a major issue with my luggage. It got delayed by few days and i was already off to Masai Mara but hats off to Eric that he did back and forth on my behalf with the airlines to make sure that i got my luggage. That was beyond asked for. I am so grateful.
My tour guide was Isaac. If you ever go through Axis Africa, please ask for Isaac. He is the man. He is a great driver and a tour guide. Very polite, very respectful and very helpful. We had such a great safari experience because of him.
The company provided a good accommodation throughout in various places (all clean and tidy). Overall, they provided good service and took great care of us.

very good organisation
Axis africa safaris is a very good organisation with fear prices. Lennox was the first who answered my request! We had driver Richard and he was the best driver ever. Axis africa safaris provided a good service and accommodation.
Masai mara national park was the most beautiful park! Lake Nakuru is not worth the money, because of climate change, there are not many flamigo's and you can't get close to them. Also the park is not so great in comparison with masai mara. But is you really want to see a rhino, go to nakuru. Also Hell's gate is a little bit overrated, but I recommend that you take the bike, than you have the experience to bike trough some zebra's and buffalo's.
