Amazing Safari, well organized with a very nice and knowledgeable guide
In three days we saw almost all the animals and the guide really works hard to find them and to make sure you get close them. We saw Lions, Cheetahs, Hippos, Crocodiles, Elephants, you name it...
We chose one of the more luxury accommodations. The room was nice, but the food was a bit disappointing. This could be because they just opened and we were the only guests at the time.

Very good
We really enjoyed our 3 nights in Kenya. Julious looked after us very well. We felt very safe with him. He had a great knowledge of the animals and the plains. Would highly recommend.

Axis was well organized, and replied to all of our questions very quickly. Our guide tour was nice
Our experience was good in general. We were happy with the itinerary. But I didn’t like that the car driver approached too much to some of the animals, scaring in one occasion a couple of jackals that were eating, while many vultures were stalking. Most of the drivers approach too much, but maybe that’s something difficult to change because some tourist like to see the animals very close. I personally don’t like it. However, I am very satisfied with the safari and we were able to see many animals. Our driver Moises was always trying to find the best view and considering catching the best angle with the perfect light to get a nice picture. I definitely recommend axis and Moises. :)

A Great Safari driver
A driver, Joseph was a good driver, and we were able to see many animals. The only minus point is that he was not on time as he made a little bit long break during our Safari trip.

Good experience
We went on a 3 day 2 night Safari to Masai Mara.
Our driver Solomon was a very capable driver who was prompt, kept us on schedule and maneuvered to get us close to see all of the animals. We saw the big 5 thanks to his skills. We got stuck in the mud and through hard work he was able to get us out.
The reason we give 4 stars is because we felt we were not provide much information about Masai Mara (historical and present day) neither the towns we drove through. We saw animals but didn't feel like we learned much. Also, we informed Axis that we had two big suitcases as we were concerned if they would fit in the Jeep. They indicated that they should fit in the Jeep. When we arrived they informed us that the suitcases couldn't fit. We had to scramble to repack our things into our hand luggage in the tiny room in their office and then leave our big suitcases there.
Lastly I recommend providing a tip sheet so persons are better prepared. For example masks for the dust, motion sickness needs for the very bumpy roads etc.
We stayed at Enkorok camp which we review separately from Axis which we found to have exceptional service.
Well designed package
Our guide/driver Albert was great. He had very good knowledge about the animals and the areas. Hotels were good too

Always got the best angles to view Big 5
The trip was well organized.
I especially like our group with a fun vibe and our guide, Moses always made sure we got the best angles to shoot animals and spent enough time watching them.

Gerald 100%
Gerald: Gerald's boundless energy and sense of humor was a delightful touch to the adventure. His extensive knowledge of Kenya's wildlife was impressive, and he consistently led us to the most captivating animal sightings.
Throughout the tour, Gerald expertly balanced excitement and safety, ensuring an exhilarating yet secure experience. His navigation skills were top-notch, allowing us to explore the terrain efficiently. From witnessing the magnificent Maasai Mara wildlife to the serene beauty of Nakuru, the tour provided unforgettable moments. Thanks to Gerald, this safari became an unforgettable journey filled with nature's wonders.
Axis: In terms of communication, the response time was good, although there could be room for improvement, especially when it comes to updating their listings. There are recent changes at the Maasai Mara National Park entrance, and it would be helpful if such updates were reflected in their information.
When it comes to value for money, this tour is quite budget-friendly, which is a definite plus. However, it would be beneficial if they could provide clearer guidelines on tipping and the Maasai tipping expectations to ensure a smoother experience for travelers.
