Khalifa was an amazing guide, was very knowledgeable about the parks he took us far into the parks!
Amazing price for what was provided. Included food transportation and housing for the 5 days. Khalifa was an amazing guide who shared all of his vast knowledge about the land animals and people with us. We all learned so much much from him and was able to see the big 5 including different prides of lions and multiple leopards. Khalifa was a great driver traversing the land with ease, he was able to bring us to parts of the park that others were now able to get to which allowed for better viewing of the beautiful animals. We set up the safari the day before and they were very helpful and reliable with their services even having transport pick us up from where we were staying to the main meetup point.

Great safari experience
We did a 5 day safari, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hell’s Gate National Park in a budget accomodation. The acommodation and food were better than expected (vegetarian options always available).
The safari was amazing, we saw the big 5 and many more animals. Our driver in Masai Mara was not very talkative, but for the rest of the safari we went with Jack and he was the best. He taught us so many things not only about animals but also about trees and life in Kenya. Always with a smile on his face.
I just wish the order of the parks were inverse, as you start with the best.
My recomendation: choose jeep instead of a van. It is much more comfortable and the windows are bigger. Plus, some roads in Masai Mara were difficult without a 4x4.

Professional, fast-responding and experienced.
We were considering doing a self-driving safari and experience the parks by our own but we are so glad we got that a tour guide and experienced person with us. This experience will not be the same without our tour guide, especially such a great person like Jimmy. He was very attentive, kind, knowledgeable and most importantly had hakuna matata attitude. He took the best care of us. Prior to booking I was in contact with Lennox who helped me with every question I had about the safari. The value that we got from the safari was definitely worth the price. The route was carefully selected which shows the years of experience. We saw all the animals and had very close encounters. Jimmy always picked the best spot for us to view. I already recommended the company and our guide to my friends. Overall a great experience and definitely recommended.
Excellent in everyway
I was looking for an economic option to go to Maasai Mara over the weekend (3day/2nights) and after asking in many places Axis was able to find for me a good price that also was during the days I needed.
Our driver and guide was Yasin and he was superb. On time always, flexible, VERY PATIENT, resourcefully and knowledable of the area.
I will try to book again with Axis and with Yasin to go to Amboseli.
ASANTE SANA!!!

Axis Africa is a trusted safari operator to enjoy a safe and exciting journey in Kenya!
For a first safari traveler like myself, having a trusted safari tour operator is a must. Axis Safari has arranged a great program to allow me enjoying the most of places I'd like to see, from the Lake of Navisha and Nakuru to the Masai Mara. The guide who accompanied me was knowleageable and fun. The selection of accomodations were also good, although next time I'd prefer rooms that were not very far and isolated from the main hall of the lodges.

All promises delivered
We arranged a 5 days trip with Axis Safaris, all being handled professionally and all promises were delivered where we saw all the target species and visited the beautiful places (Naivasha, Nakuru, and Masai Mara). The tour guide was really expert and friendly with years of experience and good companion during the trip. For certain, its valued for money and we love to find other opportunity to visit other places in Kenya with this tour operator... :-)

Skillful driver, gentle to nature and easy going
Safari in Maasia mara was a great experience. Especially the whole day game drive was great! Communication by the operation was fine! Also the camp was good, with nice food. So would certainly recommend overall!

Provided clear information, prompt response and excellent service.
Had the best time in my Safari trip in Kenya with *Axis Africa Safaris* they took cere of me until the very last minute of my trips
My guide James in the Masai Mara was making sure that we spot the big five. Giving us info about the animals and being fun and engaging.
My city guide Abraham, was very kind and got me safe around Nairobi.
The company is reliable, I was given what I was offered, communication was easy and effective and service was beyond exceptional.
Thanks.

Amazing trip and great holidays
This was once in a lifetime experience and one of the best vacations I ever had. My wife (29y) and I (34y) spent six days on Safari in Kenya.
We went to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. In Maasai Mara we loved the nature and we were so lucky to see lions mating, leopards napping in trees and cheetahs having a great lunch (poor gazelle). In lake Nakuru we watched rhinos grazing and arriving Amboseli, Kilimanjaro greeting us with an amazing sunset. At Amboseli we came so close to so many elephants and felt in love with the gentle giants.
All accommodations were carefully picked and our hosts did everything to give us a wonderful experience. The food was always delicious and reflected local cuisine very well.
Although we spend a lot of time in the car, I was not bored for a second. Our tour guide Jimmy kept us entertained and safe throughout the journey. In general Jimmy was the best guide one can imagine and did everything possible for giving us the best time. For example he helped us to get a SIM card and set up a M-PESA account (mobile payment).
Axis Africa Safaris was a great choice and we are so thankful for all the efforts put in this wonderful trip.

Incredible animals, organized and responsive operators!
We had an incredible time on our safari here. This was our first time on a safari and Axis Africa was extremely helpful and responsive; Lennox even went above and beyond to help us with late-night visa issues on our way to Kenya (make sure to get an e-visa ahead of time!!). Peter was a fantastic driver; very friendly and knowledgeable, very skillful at maneuvering rough terrain, and had a great feel for the pacing of the game drive. The camp we stayed at was clean, the staff friendly, and the food tasty. Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru are astounding. We were able to see a wide variety of animals at the tail end of the Great Migration, and there were lots of baby animals this time of year as well! Overall, could not recommend more highly.
