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

Very experienced, good communication and reliability. Good value for money
The tour was very enjoyable, our guide Albert was extremely friendly and helpful and would get out of his way to meet customer’s needs.
We took the 5 days trip to masai Mara, naivasha and hells gate. We chose a humble package (3 stars level) but would advise an upgrade for masai Mara camp.
Advise: Pack a towel if staying in camp and lots of snacks.

Fun adventure!
We did the 5 day tour to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Hells Gate. We were able to see so many animals and our guide Andrew was able to get us very close to a Cheetah and a pride of lions feasting, among many other encounters. We have so many amazing pictures thanks to him. Andrew was very nice and accommodating throughout the trip. We do wish the tour operator would have told us about the poor road conditions in Maasai Mara. It was a bit of an unwelcome surprise, however it did not ruin the trip. The accommodations were alright. Not amazing, but acceptable.

Moses is an excellent guide, fun, capable, and knowledgeable about everything: best guide ever!
Axis Africa is extremely communicative. They always responded promptly to my WhatsApp messages.
They have a seamless pickup and drop off method. All participants are in the right place at the right time, and well taken care of.
We saw every animal at massai reserve!! We saw rhinos at lake nakaru!!
Lenchada eco-lodge is just okay….we lost one hour of the promised electricity, bathrooms are just clean enough but really need a deep clean.

First safari of my life and it was beyond expectations!
Safari is really an amazing experience!
Steve is a nice and positive guy, passionate about his work. We had the opportunity to see 4/5 big five on the 1st day!! (we missed only the rhino which is really rare in Masai Mara)
We had some problems with the jeep (for example, we got stuck in the mud), losing some time but Steve and Axis managed to make us happy in every possible way!
I would definitely suggest it!

Nice experince
We choose the option of 3 days and 2 nights, we did the visit to the Masai village that was very nice and interesting and the safari itself was amazing!
Unfortunately we had problems with the jeeps on the first and the last day and we lost a lot of time because of that but in the end they have been nice to find a solution and make us satisfied!
Our guide Stephen has been very kind and nice!

Perfect
Spectacular experience, driver (Jack) very friendly and concerned about everyone's comfort.
I didn't like the first accommodation so much, because they didn't have hot water or Wi-Fi as they promise to have!
