Perfect
Great overall experience with Axis!
Special thanks to Peter who prepared our itinerary and did his best to accomodate all our requests (even the special ones) and to Roja and Richard, our guides. Roja made sure we were always the first on the scene in Masai Mara, while Richard took care of us in the second part of the trip and managed to complete successfully our Big 5 "hunt".
Very recommended!

Excellent Experience- All the tours and their guides
It was a great experience for me and really enjoyed the tour all the ways.
Need to go Masai and other places with them again in coming years hopefully.
Really enjoyed with their experienced guides as well, Peter Kapino , Amos - both were well experienced and those experiences we enjoyed well.

Thank you for the wonderful experience!
Richard is a fantastic guide. We were able to see all of the Big Five in Maasai Mara and Nakuru. During the tour, I accidentally dropped my smartphone in the car and returned to the hotel. After his shift ended, he went out of his way to bring it back to the hotel on his motorbike. I am so grateful for his kindness. He also patiently explained things to us, even though we are not fluent in English, using translation tools. I'm so glad he was our guide. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Amazing experience
It was my first time visiting Kenya, and one of my biggest dreams was to see the Big Five.
Before the trip, I learned that seeing all of the Big Five is actually quite difficult, so I was really excited but also a little nervous about whether we would be able to see them all.
Thanks to our amazing guide, Peter, we were able to see all five!
Peter was constantly communicating with other guides over the radio to gather information, and he took us to see not only the Big Five but also many other rare and interesting animals.
It was especially difficult to find a leopard, but Peter never gave up and kept searching until we finally found one. That made the experience even more special!
I really felt that the animals you get to see and the overall experience can depend a lot on your guide. We were truly lucky to have Peter as our guide.
Thank you so much, Peter, for giving us such an unforgettable experience! It was definitely one of the best memories of our trip.

We had a great time at the safari, spotting different animals. Special thanks to our guides Peter Ngigi and Patrick . We spent 3 days with Peter and one day with Patrick. Both of them made our experience memorable and made us feel really comfortable.it was a really enriching and knowledgeable experience which we will remember for long.
Would definitely recommend axis safari

Great safari, good organization, good stays
We had a great time on our safari with Axis Africa, and a big part of that was our guide, Khalifa. He was excellent throughout, really good at positioning the vehicle so we could get great photos, and well connected with other guides too, so we barely missed any sightings since he always seemed to know where the animals had been spotted. On top of all that, he was lively, humble, and just made the whole trip more fun.
Booking was easy too. We worked with Tabitha, who was great at suggesting tours. All the stays were great and welcoming.
One thing worth mentioning as feedback for the tour operators: the vehicle was a 7-seater arranged 2, 2, and 3 across the back. When all three back seats are taken, it gets a little uncomfortable for whoever is sitting there. Whenever an animal is spotted, only two people can really stand up and get a proper look or photo at a time, so there is not much room to move around. That means one of the three people in the back almost always has to give way in some form.
For anyone booking a group safari, it's worth asking in advance whether the vehicle will be full. Since everyone in the group pays the same price, it doesn't feel entirely fair that the third person in the back seat consistently gets a lesser experience compared to the rest.
Overall, though, a really enjoyable trip, and a lot of that comes down to having a guide as good as Khalifa.
