Great value for money
The safari was a wonderful experience but it was all down to Khalifa, our driver/guide. Be is a kind, funny, happy and knowledgeable person. We saw so many animals -it was beyond ompare! He knew each lion, cheetah and leopard by name and told us about the park, the peoples and tribes. My sin had a minor injury and he took us to the local doctor, making sure he got the necessary treatment. Thank you Khalifa, hope to see you soon!

The best tour operator provider for a wonderful Safari experience!
It was such a spectacular experience touring the Maasai Mara with Axis Africa Safaris! The drive to the game reserve was amazing as i was picked on time, the driver was friendly and helped with the luggage. The drive was smooth, and there was a lot to see especially along the Great Rift Valley. I loved the resort that Axis booked for us to stay in for the days that we were at Maasai Mara. Their services were amazing and the staff were professional and ensured our stay their was satisfactory. The best part was the game drive at Maasai Mara with Axis Africa Safaris land cruiser. The tour guide had vast knowledge of the place and the wild animals that we saw. We saw lots of wild animals like the lion, cheeter, leopard, hippos, crocodile, zebras, giraffe, among many others. It was such a memorable tour! For sure it was worth the cost we paid for the experience and I would love to do this again with Axis Africa Safaris coz they provided the best experience ever!

The best budget safari experience.
I always imagined going on a safari holiday was something you did on your honeymoon or when you retired. I also imagined it to be super expensive so it was never an option for me. Let's fast forward a little bit, I booked some annual leave off work and decided only one week before I was due to fly that I would book a solo budget safari tour and tick it off my bucket list. The idea of 'solo' was daunting but exciting all the same. So a friend recommended Axis africa Safaris and the adventure began! My mind was put at ease when I booked my tour with Lennox, it was all a very straightforward and stress free process with Lennox always happy to answer any queries I had.
For the first part of my tour, my guide was Soloman, a super chilled, friendly and informative guide who did his upmost to ensure we saw as many animals as possible during the night game drive and the full day game drive. He filled our brains with interesting facts about the animals and was always at hand when you needed help with anything at all. My tour Group were all super awesome too and I never felt uncomfortable or awkward on my own.
The Massai Mara and the Massai village were absolutely incredible. An experience and memory that will last a lifetime. The 'Big 5' was ticked off and wow did we get lucky! Thank you Solomon for sharing that experience with us!
I then spent a day with tour guide Denis who took the group to Naukuru National park. Denis was also great and had lots of knowledge for us. He ensured we had lots of time to process and watch the beautiful animals and landscape we had around us. Not to mention being only a few feet away from the white Rhinos!
My final day was spent with guide Daniel. What a humble man and a book of knowledge. We took a drive through Naivasha national park and went on a nice walk. I washed my dusty hands in the hot springs and sat and watched all the herbivores while being able to get out of the car to take pictures (no predators here) then a trip to lake Naivasha for a boat ride to see the hippos and various different birds. Daniel ensured I was comfortable, happy and got to the airport safely for my flight home (very sad).
Bearing in mind that this was a budget safari, I personally couldn't fault anything at all. The accommodation was basic but I always had everything I could possibly need for example a nice hot shower, a bed with a mosquito net, standard but nice and fulfilling food and most importantly great hosts! My favourite accommodation was the Massai Mara Lenchada camp. We stayed in purpose built tents that had their own bathroom Inc a shower. I loved the vibe here!
If you're looking for an amazing experience shared with humble people that's budget friendly, this is the company to book through! If you're open minded and not looking for 5* luxury then you will not be disappointed.
The cost of this tour was very impressive and reasonable.
Thank you team for an experience of a lifetime! I'll be forever grateful.

Wonderful experience!!
I initially booked for 3 days but I ended up extending 4 days. Lake nakuru is so worth it!! We were able to see white rhinos.
I would like to do a special mention to Moses, the guy is so knowledgeable and provided us the best experience we could get during the safari.
Masaai mara also beautiful, and the other guide also took us to see most of the wildlife. I'm fully satisfied with the experience, thank you so much!!

Amazing Safari trip
I’ve had the best time these past 5 days and that’s thanks to Khalifa, Hes been the main man, he knew ever road, stop, shop on route and knew everything that is Africa, but most of all he knew the parks like the back of his hand. Thanks to him we got to see the big 5, black Rhinos, Lion Cubs and even a rabbit.
Thank you Khalifa for taking my mum to the joy Adamson home which was her dream.
I spent time up front in the car with Khalifa and he’s a great guys and was great to chat to on the long trips.
Remember Khalifa to watch Only Fools And Horses
Thank you

Incredible safari trip
We had the most amazing 5 day Safari in Kenya across Lake Navisha, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with tour guide Khalifa. We saw some amazing sights, from Lion Cubs, a heard of elephants, a baby rhino and even four black rhinos at the same time- apparently unheard of! This was all down to the knowledge and expertise of our guide Khalifa. There was nothing he didn’t know about Kenya, the National Parks or the animals and nothing was too much trouble. I’d thoroughly recommend a trip to Kenya and a safari, and even more so with guide Khalifa. A magical, once in a lifetime trip!

knowledgeable efficient and affordable
Just got back from a 5 day safari with Axis . The trip was amazing from the booking to the end .
The accommodation choices were great and exceeded all expectations.
Our guide Khalifa made our trip so memorable, with his great sense of humour and knowledge. he could not do enough for us. Khalifa made sure we got to see all the animals of Naivisha, Nakuru and the Masa Mara. The viewing was out of this world.
I cannot recommend this company enough.

Efficient, friendly and safe Kenyan safari company
We booked a 5 day four night safari to Lake Navisha, Lake Nakuru and then on to the Masai Mara game reserve for two nights.
We booked from the UK with the booking process being easy and efficient.
The company offered us choices of luxury camps and they were all fantastic.
Our guide Khalifa was great, very accommodating and his knowledge of all the three different national parks was second to none. His knack for sniffing out all the big five and more was amazing.
He had a great sense of humour too and made our time on the safari wonderful.
Would highly recommend Axis African Expedition & Safari Company and we are already thinking of booking our next trip with them.

Axis Safaris is a professional tour company that provides a seamless and memorable experience.
I recently had the opportunity to take a Kenya Safari tour with Axis Safaris, and it was an unforgettable experience that was greatly enhanced by the exceptional tour guide, Kikitu. From start to finish, the tour was well-organized and professional, and the attention to detail from the tour company was impressive.
However, it was Kikitu who truly made this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience. He was not only knowledgeable about the wildlife and history of Kenya, but also passionate about sharing it with us. His passion was evident in everything he did, from tracking different animals through the wilderness to setting up the perfect shot. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and it made all the difference.
Kikitu's enthusiasm for his work was contagious, and his passion for the country and its animals was unmatched. His encyclopedic knowledge of the wildlife, history, and culture of Kenya was impressive, and his ability to share it with us made the experience all the more meaningful. He was a true ambassador for the country and its wildlife, and his skill and dedication were evident in every moment of the tour.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience in Kenya. The combination of the professional tour company, Axis Safaris, and the exceptional tour guide, Kikitu, made this a trip of a lifetime. Thank you for the memories!
Very good
My daughter and I had a wonderful safari. Everything was arranged fine. We were specially satisfied about our guide Steve, a joyful guy who did his very best to show us the big 5, which we saw. The staying in a tent with the Masai was very nice as well. Thank you for everything.
