The best experience
We had a good experience with Axis, excellent communication, hotel pick up, good accommodation at Ntulele and an excellent safari. We had the best guide, Nelson, a local Masai who did everything he could to see as many animals as possible. A very good driver and a professional game driver. I recommend Axis for professionalism and the best price. I recommend Nelson, he knows the area very well and gives you an unforgettable experience. He made it possible to visit a school a big plus for us

All as expected!
The organisation of the safari has been an excellent and well executed experience. Especially our guide (Nelson or Simba) has been extremely professional and knowledgeable.
And an extra fact, being a vegan , all meals have been customized to this type of food at a delicious level by a great chef at wildnest camp.

Axis Safari offers many packages that satisfy everyone's budget while delivering amazing safaris.
Axis was one of the companies I contacted when starting my quest to look for safari options and they truly deliveted in many ways. From the office staff to the experienced driver/guides.
Rita in the office communicated patiently and in a timely manner with me as I had many questions. I honestly did not get this much neeeded attention from the other companies I contacted.
I had the opportunity to have 2 different driver/guides, Jack and Khalifa. These 2 men made my safari experience a 100 out of 10. Their many years of experience and safari skills far exceeded anything I could have asked for. Jack was great at jockeying for the best position so we could all get our best photos. Khalifa's 4x4 driving skills through some very wet muddy trails (a heavy rainfall the previous night) allowed us to venture further and see the unexpected.
I chose a mid range package and the accommodation was FANTASTIC, from a comfortable villa to a 4 star hotel.
I recommend Axis wholeheartedly to anyone thinking of visiting the Masai Mara in Kenya.

Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris is a professional, reliable tour operator that delivers well-organi
had an excellent experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, and I highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari or expedition in Africa. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. All my questions were answered patiently, and the team made sure every detail was well explained before the trip started.
The service throughout the tour was outstanding. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about wildlife and local culture. Everything ran smoothly and on time, which showed how reliable and well-organized the company is. I felt safe, well taken care of, and truly valued as a guest.
In terms of value for money, the experience exceeded my expectations. The itinerary was well planned, accommodations were comfortable, and the overall quality of the tour was excellent for the price paid. There were no hidden surprises—just honest, high-quality service.
The tour itself was unforgettable, offering incredible wildlife sightings, beautiful landscapes, and authentic experiences. Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris delivered exactly what they promised and more. I would gladly travel with them again and confidently recommend them to other travelers looking for a memorable and trustworthy safari experience.
Big thanks to Mr.Nelson!

Upon enquiring so many safari operators, we chose Axis Africa, mainly because of the value for money
We chose to plan a trip to Kenya especially for the wildlife safari and also to celebrate our first wedding anniversary in a special place like the Kenyan National Parks. Upon enquiring so many safari operators, we chose Axis Africa, mainly because of the value for money packages there were offering as compared to other tour operators. We would like to thank to Tabitha from Axis Africa Safaris for organising our safari trip as per our needs, she was so patient and responsive to all our queries and she was always ready to help us with our questions and also made sure we had the best experience. Adding to that, Tabitha was kind enough to help us book our SGR train tickets to Mombasa!
Last but not the least, how can we forgot our safari guide, Khalifa - he is an absolute legend, he is so passionate in what he does and that passion in him to spot animals has made our safari experience to another level. He was so caring and patient to take care of us and our needs and made plans accordingly. He is so knowledgeable about the animals and he also knew where and when to find which animal, and he shared a lot of stories and information about each and every animal. He took us up close to all the animals where no other jeeps came, and made sure we had the best time of our lives.
We highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris for your next safari and also to ask for Khalifa as your safari operator.

Exceeded our expectations
We really enjoyed the safari in the Masai Mara. Our guide, Yasin, explained everything about the animals really well and also showed a lot of respect for nature, which is exactly what you hope for on a safari. The game drive was amazing—we saw all the animals we wanted to see, and we were even lucky enough to witness a cheetah hunting! After four safaris, we finally got it. Honestly, it exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to come back for the Great Migration.

Exceptional service from start to finish
Service we received was exceptional - Rita was responsive and happy to send multiple options to craft a perfect and bespoke safari package for us, looking at different options for group/private tours, different accommodation options, driving/flying between national parks to suit our budget. Rita was also flexible to work with other hotels to add a week on in Zanzibar after our safari. We were particularly impressed that she proactively reached out to suggest an alternative accommodation based on recent reviews to ensure we had the best experience. Overall, the level of service far surpassed our local (UK) tour operators who were inflexible in terms of hotels and breaking down the pricing of the trip.
On the safari itself, Rodgers was the best guide we could have asked for! He worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best experience and wasn't satisfied until we had seen all of the big 5! He was friendly, polite, punctual and extremely informative about the animals, locations and more general questions about Kenya and it's people. He also liaised with the hotel (ensuring we had a picnic lunch if necessary) and other operators (boat trip/hot air balloon) for a seamless experience, meaning we did not have to think at all and we could just relax and enjoy our holiday. We were also joined by an intern guide, Brian, who was friendly and knowledgeable and I'm sure will become an excellent guide once he finishes his studies.
10/10 could not have been better!

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish!
From our first enquiry email to the end of the safari everything was incredible.
Upon booking Rita was brilliant, she answered my hundreds of questions quickly and clearly as well as giving recommendations for things to do, she was happy to change our itinerary multiple times and give us clear and easy to following pricing, nothing seemed too much trouble.
We chose to do a private safari and was lucky enough to have Rodgers as our guide, who I cannot recommend highly enough, he was absolutely fantastic!
We went to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with him.
At each park he was able to give us an enormous amount of information about how it all works, what’s going on and some history of Kenya which was extremely interesting.
Rodgers went out of his way to ensure we saw all of the big and ugly five as well as a huge amount of other animals, he has brilliant knowledge of every animal and species and was able to answer every question we had.
He was great to chat with, had a great sense of humour and made our overall safari experience absolutely incredible.
Thank you so much to Rita & Rodgers for all your help and for making our safari Honeymoon a truly unforgettable experience!!

Amazing service & Amazing Ken!!!
We have just returned from the most incredible safari experience in Kenya, and I honestly cannot recommend it highly enough.
From the very beginning, the communication and booking process with Axis was seamless and stress-free. Philip was absolutely brilliant, he answered every single question quickly and thoroughly, making us feel completely confident and excited about our trip. Cynthia and Lennox were also fantastic and equally helpful. The whole team made the planning process so simple and smooth.
The tour itself was outstanding value for money. We chose to do a private safari, and I would highly recommend this to anyone considering it. It truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, yet it didn’t cost a fortune. Having that personal experience made everything feel special and tailored just for us.
Our guide, Ken, was simply amazing. He completely made the trip what it was. From the moment we met him, we felt in safe and capable hands. He drove safely at all times, was incredibly knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make the experience unforgettable for me and my mum. His knowledge of Kenya’s history, the different tribes, the landscapes, and of course the wildlife was exceptional. No question was too much for him. He explained everything with such passion and enthusiasm.
What really stood out was how determined he was to make sure we saw everything we hoped for. After spotting all of the Big 9 and so many other incredible animals, we really wanted to see a leopard. Ken went completely out of his way in both the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru to help us find one and thanks to him, we did! It was such an exciting and special moment that we will never forget. His dedication, persistence, and genuine desire for us to have the best possible experience was truly remarkable.
Ken wasn’t just a guide - he was kind, professional, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He made the entire safari extraordinary.
If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, book it and if you can, ask for Ken. You won’t regret it. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

Well coordinated group safaris
We were very happy with the entire safari and saw a lot of animals. Everything was well organized even though we booked last minute. I would like to specifically mention about our driver Wiklife who made this entire experience seamless making sure everyone in the group was taken care of. He always had a smile on his face even after long hours of driving and was ready to assist in any way possible. He especially looked after my mother and made sure she was comfortable. Definitely recommend him.
