Excellent safari guide
We met Peter at the Axis Office near the airport and from the start he was informative and friendly. Peter drove exceptionally well throughout the trip and on our long way to and back from the park we made interesting pit stops for snacks and loo breaks.
Peter was an excellent guide during the safari - prompt, reliable and incredibly knowledgeable about the wide range of wildlife in the park including the many birds. He was sensitive to all the requirements of the group and we could not fault his talent and commitment to the Safari drives in any way. My husband and I have travelled extensively in Africa and Peter was among the best Safari guides we have ever experienced.

Perfect, couldn’t ask for a better experience
Incredible price and service. Our driver Khalifa went above and beyond to show us the best of the safari.
Incredible experience.
I would highly recommend Enkorok camp. Sleep in a Lodge with the luxury hotel experience (really good food and swimming pool)

They provided quick reponses to our questions, a tour at short notice, and an outstanding guide
We found Axis an efficient organisation who were able to meet the dates we had available at short notice. They made clear what options there were and provided a detailed account of the programme, and of what was included, and what was not included. It was a well thought through schedule, and went to plan.
We did the 3 day budget tour in the Masai Mara and reckoned it good value for money, although you should be aware that the journey there and back takes many hours. On the main, middle day we saw a great variety of game, at close quarters, including 4 of the big 5 (Rhino's are scarce in the MM). Our guide, Peter, was excellent, and very knowledgeable. He clearly had good relationships with many of the other guides, which meant he was informed of sitings and was able to get us to see the maximum range of animals. He was also amongst the best at manoeuvring our vehicle into the optimal position for viewing, and persisted beyond the usual ending time so that we could see a Cheetah.
We thought the food provided was good. Being a budget, tented tour, the accommodation is obviously basic, and only cash could be used for drinks and local crafts. Our one reservation about our tour was that we were not convinced that the extra we paid for a small upgrade in terms of the camp we stayed at was worthwhile.

Magnificient Safari Experience with Axis Africa
It was truly a remarkable experience to go with Axis Africa on safari. Everything was well organized, the hotels and accommodations were comfortable and transportation was sufficient. Most importantly, our driver Raymond made sure that we‘ve seen the best spots to observe the big five and much more.
100% recommend

Amazing time in Masai Mara
My party of 6 had an amazing time in Masai Mara. It was everyone’s first safari and I don’t think we could have asked for a better experience.
We had a great time in the park and saw far more animals than I had expected - multiple groups of lions, elephants and baboons, a leopard, a cheetah, and altogether everything I think we could have realistically expected to see.
The camp where we stayed was basic, but clean and safe. There was consistent power and hot water, and the food (including for vegetarians/vegans in our party) was delicious every meal.
Peter, our guide, brought the whole thing together. He was knowledgeable and prepared throughout the trip, and well-connected to other guides to find animal sightings (but also had an incredibly keen eye himself). Outside of the park, he got us through both the Nairobi traffic and bumpy backroads with ease.
When there was an issue (due to my error) with overpayment, the office team was very helpful and resolved it as soon as they were able.

It’s an amazing tour. It’s much better than I expected.
This tour is managed well. It’s much better than I expected. I can definitely say it’s a valuable safari tour. Our tour guide was Steve, he is good at communicating and has good driving skills.
I really enjoyed this tour.

Axis Afria:a excellent Safari company with good guides
Thanks to Axis Afria, this trip was perfect. First of all, I want to thank Cynthia for not getting tired of coordinating the itinerary and details with me, and for giving professional and patient answers to all the questions I asked, helping me overcome the difficulties of language communication and unfamiliarity with the situation. Later, I learned that Cynthia was the boss. As a boss, she can do things so personally. How can such a company not be trusted? Next, I want to thank my tour guide Khalifa the most. His serious and responsible attitude and professional ability made the extraordinary charm of the African savannah presented to us without reservation. Here are a few examples: Khalifa's ability to find animals is outstanding. Whether it is day or night, no matter how far away, he can find the whereabouts of animals in the first time. We are all amazed by this. I believe that people who often read the comments section of Safaribooking will think that this is just so-so. Isn't this a basic skill for a Safari tour guide? Indeed, so the key point I want to talk about is in the latter part; Khalifa's professional ability is reflected in his ability to predict the direction of animals in advance. He often moves in an unknown direction when others are still waiting in place. As a result, we arrived in front of the animal's moving route in advance and found the best observation position. Only then did other cars come after hearing the news; Khalifa's serious and responsible attitude also touched me. He has an extraordinary persistence. On our last afternoon in Masai Mara, we didn't see the expected zebras because of the influence of Maasai grazing. Even we thought it was better to forget it. He still persisted in looking around. We even thought that he would not let us go back to the hotel if we couldn't find zebras today [grin]. In the end, although we didn't find the zebras, we unexpectedly saw the scene of cheetahs hunting unsuccessfully. Khalifa's driving skills are first-class, which makes us feel the freedom of wild Africa. Whether there is a road or not, whether there is a turbulent river or a bumpy wilderness ahead, there is always a smooth road ahead of us. Finally, I want to say that Khalifa is a loving, meticulous and humorous person. He suggested that we give the unfinished hotel lunches to the poor people we met on the road. He carefully prepared a folding stool for my old mother to use as a footrest when getting on the bus. The laughter along the way was inseparable from his participation. At the end, the whole family was reluctant to leave like a family parting. In short, this was a perfect trip, this is a company worth recommending, and Khalifa is definitely a tour guide worth choosing.

Excellent
I got in touch with Lennox, he helped with the entire trip plan. The response from him was amazing.
Our tour guide was Richard and we had an amazing experience for game drives. We spotted all the big 5, he understood what we love and helped us cover all the experiences and activities on time.
We also did bike ride at hells gate and nature walk at crescent island.
Overall the best experience ever, fully recommended.
