Charles is welcoming, knowledgeable, an excellent city and safari driver, and a lot of fun.
Axis Africa gave us exceptional service over our entire eight-day expedition at four destinations. The staff and drivers were friendly, professional, attentive and flexible, which was important for a big group like ours with multiple children. They were on time, very reliable and put us all at ease for an amazing trip.

Competent and patient.
Yasin was an excellent guide. He informed us about the wildlife, animal behavior, avian diversity, flora, and Kenyan culture. We came to Kenya for the safari experience, and Axis did the job. My sincere hope is for Kenya to protect it's wonderful parks.
Great experience in Safari!
The tour was amazing! We got to see so many animals, and our guide, Peter Kapino, shared fascinating knowledge about the wildlife throughout the trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had the best opportunities to spot animals. It was an unforgettable experience!

The best!!
I couldn’t be more happy with my choice of tour operator!! From the initial contact they have been so professional, friendly and helpful. They even helped me sort out our visas when the payment didn’t go through from Sweden! I will always be thankful for that.
Our driver and tour guide Kelvin Mimi was excellent! Fun, friendly, knowledgeable and an adventurous off-road-driver who took us to the best animal sightings. He’s the best!!

An unforgettable 5 star trip
Our experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris was absolutely incredible—everything was 10 out of 10 from start to finish. Every detail was perfectly organized, and the entire team was friendly, professional, and made us feel well taken care of throughout the trip.
The highlight of our safari was our guide. Richie was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and passionate, he became much more than just a guide—he became a friend. He made every game drive unforgettable and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience.
I can't recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris highly enough. If you're looking for an unforgettable African safari with exceptional service and amazing people, this is the company to choose. We will never forget this trip and would book with them again in a heartbeat!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
We booked the 5 Days Masai Mara – Lake Nakuru – Lake Naivasha Group Joining Safari with Axis Africa Safaris, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish.
Everything was well organized. We departed and arrived on time, the communication before and during the trip was smooth, and the Axis Africa team was always responsive and friendly whenever we had questions. We also appreciated that bottled water was always available during the long drives, and our accommodations throughout the safari were comfortable and exceeded our expectations.
Our adventure got off to an incredible start in Masai Mara when we spotted a leopard almost immediately—one of the most elusive members of the Big Five! By the end of the trip, we had successfully seen all of the Big Five, making the safari truly unforgettable.
Our journey continued to Lake Nakuru National Park, where we witnessed a lion feeding on its prey. It was both an incredible and humbling experience—a reminder of the true circle of life in the wild. While it was sad to witness, seeing nature unfold as it truly is made the experience even more memorable.
We also visited Hell’s Gate National Park, where we enjoyed an interactive walking tour through the spectacular gorge and had the unique opportunity to experience a walking safari. It was a refreshing change from the game drives and allowed us to appreciate Kenya’s beautiful landscapes up close.
At Lake Naivasha, we explored the lakeshore and saw the vibrant activity around the area. It was interesting to see how the lake supports local commerce and daily life, offering a different perspective from the wildlife-focused parts of the safari.
A special thank you to our guide, Kelvin Mimi, who made this trip exceptional. He is courteous, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife. It was impressive how he could safely drive while still spotting animals that many of us would have completely missed. He always positioned the vehicle so everyone had the best possible view and plenty of opportunities to take great photos.
Kelvin also went the extra mile to accommodate our requests and made sure everyone enjoyed the experience. His network with other safari guides helped us locate some of the more difficult animals to find, and he shared interesting facts about each animal and species we encountered, making every game drive both exciting and educational.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience. We highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris, and if you have the opportunity, definitely request Kelvin Mimi as your guide. He truly made our Kenyan safari unforgettable, and this is a trip we will remember for a lifetime.

Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris exceeded our expectations and Kelvin was the best!
Let me start from the very first day when our driver picked us up from our hotel. He was friendly and helpful. Upon arriving at the Axis Africa office, we were briefed on our 5-day tour, making sure we were fully aware of our itinerary. That’s when we met our guide, Kelvin.
He brought plenty of bottled water for the entire trip, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Throughout the tour, he always made sure we were never hungry or thirsty.
One thing I really liked about Kelvin was how dedicated he was to finding animals. At one point, I was wondering why there were no other safari vehicles around in the Masai Mara, but I later realized he was taking us to the areas where he believed we had the best chance of spotting wildlife. Even from a distance, he could spot animals with incredible accuracy. It definitely showed how experienced he is as a safari guide.
On our very first day, we were already lucky enough to spot the elusive leopard and cheetah. Throughout the tour, Kelvin always made sure we had the best possible views of the animals. We had so many safe close encounters with lions and giraffes, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Every day, he would ask how we were, how we slept, and how the food was. He was consistently thoughtful, kind, and attentive.
Thank you, Kelvin, for taking such good care of us and for always going above and beyond what was expected. We would definitely recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris and especially Kelvin to our family and friends.
