Absolutely incredible experience.
We did the 5 day budget safari and had the best experience. The first two days in the Masai Mara we spent time in the reserve and managed to see all the wildlife we could wish to see, including lions with cubs, leopard with cub and cheetahs which surprised us. We then went to a Masai village to spend time with the tribe which was another amazing experience, they made us feel incredibly welcome and gave us a comprehensive tour of their daily lives, culture and traditions where we also got to visit the local school which was a great experience. We then went on to lake Naivasha where we got to do a boat trip around the lake, seeing hippos and other wildlife before stopping off and having a tour near the crescent island, where you get to see the wildlife very close, giraffes and zebra being the main two but there are lots more. Our last day we spent in Amboseli national park and again managed to see so much different wildlife, getting very close to the elephants was a highlight for us.
Our tour guide was Yasin, we can’t thank him enough for what he has done for us, he has looked after us for 5 days and is in general an unbelievable person and guide. He is an expert in all the different parks, any questions you ask he has the answers and he makes everything so interesting and fun. The best part is that due to his 15+ year experience, he knows all the best places to see wildlife up close, so many occasions we were first to the areas and often got the best spots for photos when we weren’t first.
It is amazing value for money as you get all your meals included, we didn’t spend any money on meals whilst we were there aside from snacks and drinks in the hotel etc. We found the accommodation to be great, first couple of nights stopping in tents in the Masai Mara resort was a great experience, before a night in a hotel on the third night, the best til last at Penety Resort, that place was fantastic.
Overall we had one of the best experiences of our lives thanks to Axis and especially Yasin, we will be recommending you guys to everyone when we’re back home in the UK. Thank you for everything you have done for us whilst we were here.

Great
We recently completed a 5-day safari with guide Geeman, and it was an unforgettable experience. Although we missed the Great Migration and there were some parts of the day without scheduled activities, the overall experience was fantastic. Not only were we fortunate to have an amazing group of fellow travelers, also Geeman truly made the trip exceptional. His knowledge of the wildlife, local culture, and landscapes added so much depth to each game drive, and he always made sure we got the most out of every moment.

an incredible trip that you have to come!
Really thanks Axis and Francis. I am a solo traveler joining the sharing group for 3-day Masai Mara trip. I guess different people from different operators form the group, someone from jocky(the operator did not answer my email) and Axis. It may happen in sharing group.
First, I really thanks for Cynthia, who with the prompt response and patience, gave me different choices for hotel selection. I think she understood about female solo travelers trouble and gave me the best choices. To consider safety, I select sopa as the hotel. But one thing need to mention, I would like to have balloon safari at the third day, but finally on the second. I think it may because they don’t want to pay one more day entrance fee for Masai Mara Park. Everyone should know the situation (I guess it is a potential rule for every operator).
Second, really appreciated for Francis, our guide with professional driving skills and information networking that knows where to find big five. He always occupied the best position to see animals. Thanks Francis!
Finally, I really happy to meet my team member, We took good photos and shared together, thanks for them!
It is an incredible and amazing trip that you have to come! Really lucky to meet my team member and guide here!

Professional and trust worthy
It is an extremely enjoyable experience with Axis Safari, special thanks to Cynthia and Kevin. We have made tons of changes while discussing the route and schedule. Cynthia is really patient and professional and always responded quickly. Definitely trust Cynthia! On the trip with Kevin, he drove safely and he is definitely an expert in finding animals with great knowledge about different ones. He made the experience super memorable and gave us lots of surprises. If you are looking for Kenya travel agency and tour guide, you would not want to miss Axis.
detailed and responsive
Nice safari trip led by Axis safari and our Kevin，good organization and super guidance on-site.

Professional and experienced
Our trip route is Samburu-Nakuru-Maasai Mara -Naivasha-Ambosali. Our trip advisor is Cynthia. She is very helpful to design the trip. Our communication is very efficient and patient. She always responsed in a short time with clear answers. Without her, we will not have this great experience in Kenya.
It is very important tohave a very experienced tour guide. Our tour guide Kevin has 13years of guide experiwnce. He is taking good care of us during our trip. We managed to see everything we wished! Kevin spotted special Fives in Samburu, Cheatah and leopard in Nakuru, Lions, Hippo and Baffalo etc in Maasai Mara. He is also very knowledgable to share these animals info with us.
In our trip, we had local coffe-ArtCaffe and tried various stuff. We are definately recommended Axis Safari and Kevin!

Cynthia is a good planner,accomodating, prompt in respnding my queries.
We had the most wonderful experience on safari with Axis Africa.The safari helped us to witness several wonderful experience.such as lions mating.Lions, giraffe, elephants crossing our roads.We saw many animals during our 3 days trip at Masai Mara . Jambo mara safari lodge was good to stay. But the experience of staying 1 night in Lencheda delux camp was amazing.Especially the fresh food served by them.
Nakuru game drive was another exiting part.we saw white nd black rhinos, beautiful birds nd flamingos.
At Naivasa we took just the boat ride.We saw feeding of so many hipoos, innumerable special beautiful birds.The eagles diving nd picking up the fish thrown by the boatman was worth watching.
Finally,we took a walk in hell's gate.I will recommend,one should take the pain of getting down to have lifetime experience of that Spectacular scenery including the towering cliffs,water-gouged gorges,stark rock towers nd a natural spa.
I will strongly recommend to choose Axis Africa for safari in Kenya to everyone.They are professional, reasonable cost nd fun to be with.During safaris communication of the driver/guide was very good nd clear.

I would say he is an extremely funny extrovert and very knowledgeable.
The trip was amazing and one in a life time experience. My friends and I booked a three day Masa Masa Safari through Axis Africa Safaris in Kenya. The staff at the main office greeted us warmly and made our entire process smooth from day one of our journey. The tour guide provided to us was Francis Ngugi (Faru). In my opinion he is knowledgeable about everything within the reserve park and outside. He answered every question we had plus gave more context to the subject. His personality is one of a kind. Francis was funny while assisting with any favors we might have wanted and drove us to the perfect spots to get the best pictures possible of the wildlife. He seems to really love his job. We spotted all of the big 5 animals (lion, cheetah, elephant, rhino and lepoard) which is very rare to do making the trip even more incredible than it already was. I definitely recommend anyone booking to specifically ask for him. Overall the trip and experience I would say was a 10/10.
