A great time in an amazing environment
The memory of my three day safari in Masai Mara will stay with me forever. It was an amazing experience to come so close to so many beautiful wild animals. We saw the big five, and so many more animals. Our guide was nice, the group was nice and we stayed at a nice camp close to Masai Mara, sleeping in comfortable beds in tents. The only thing I am a bit hesitant about, is that I think we got too close to the animals. It was absolutely not only us, but almost every other van from other companies (mostly Bonfire), that drove very close to the animals, and we were about 15-20 vans in the same spot sometimes. I later, when I got back, read that you're not supposed to be more than five vans and you're not supposed to get close than 25 metres from the animals.
I wish more companies would respect that. (as I said before, it semis almost no one doesn't). And of course I was really happy to see so many animals so close, but when for example four cheetahs surrounding a zebra were followed, and in their turn surrounded by 20 vans - it didn't feel as if it were on the animals' conditions.
But overall it was amazing to see so many animals, and our guide really did his best to find lots of them.
You get what you pay for
We went with the budget option but even so considering the price is nothing to complain about. The safari experience itself was very good.

Amazing experience in Masai Mara- Kenya
The tour was well planned and guided. The knowledge of Richard who took us for the 4 days was really commendable . We didn't even realize that we travelled over 1000 kms in 4 days covering Masai Mara, Lake Nivasha and Lake Nakuru. May be some improvement can be done at Lenchada camp with regards to the food. Otherwise no complaints at all. Well organized trip. Before as well as during the trip, the response from Mr Lennox was super fast.

Amazing trip to the Masai Mara with experienced guides
We traveled to Masai Mara in November and i must say the trip was quite unforgettable.
We were able to spot all the Big 5 and many other animals thanks to our experienced and knowledgeable guides James and Joshua who were very good in searching for the animal locations. The tented camp was also a thing to remember, very comfortable place. We enjoyed breathtaking views of the great rift valley and the mount Longonot from the view point where we stopped enroute for photography.
Our contact Lennox was also very helpful in adjusting our schedule when we had a last minute change and made sure the whole trip was flawless.
We thank Axis for the unforgettable trip and we look forward to meeting you guys again next year.

Great safari trip
I booked this 4 day Safari tour in the last minute. I found it very difficult to choose between so many safai companies but I'm happy I chose Axis Africa Safari. I really enjoyed our 4 day budget safari, comfortable bus and with a very friendly group of 5/6 people. Our driver/guide Joshua was an extremely good driver. With Joshua we managed to see "the big 5". Accomodation was good and comfortable and so was the food, much better than expected. A very memorable trip for me and my son, our first Safari.
Loved Masai Mara. Thank you

Unforgettable moments
A true adventure, an incredible experience with lots of unforgettbale memories. A childhood dream came true when you see the animals roaming on endless prairies. especially when you get near the Big 5 which we managed to spot during the safari... all that within only 4 days with Axis. Lennox was helpful from the very first moment, he patiently replied every question I had. The Safari was very professionally organised.
Our driver Richard seems quite experienced despite his young age. He always did his best to create a good atmosphere in the group and to give us the best possible angle to take photos of the animals. He speaks Russian pretty well too which was a really nice surprise. We - a Vietnamese and a Kenyan talked in Russian with each other which was really something else lol.
My roommate or my tentmate to be exact from Japan was very nice and pleasant too. Overall an unforgettable experience I had there. Thanks Axis and огромное спасибо, Ричард!

Great 3-day Safari
I went on a 3-day tour with other 6 people I didn't know before the tour. I hoped the people on this tour would have the same intentions as me and I was right, we all got along really well. Our driver, Edward, was very good at spotting animals and at communicating with other drivers to find out where animals where at. He would also get very close to the animals and stay there for enough time for us to enjoy the scenery and take good photos. The second day, Edward recommended us to go to lake Naivasaha instead of doing a quick morning safari ride, and so we did. It was an enjoyable 1-hour boat ride that allowed us to see plenty of animals (from hippos to zebras to many birds) . The accommodation in tents was decent, and food was good and plenty.
Lennox was great at communicating with me before the trip, and his timely responses were great for planning the trip. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to anyone.

WONDERFUL and VERY GREAT adventure
We visit the Safari last week tru the help of Mr Eric Lennox.
Booking your safari trip is not easy specially if you do not know anybody in Africa. So I browse the internet and found a good review about Axis Africa Safari and it is recommended by previous customer so I tried contacting this office. Turns out that everything is easy and Mr Lennox is easy to talk to and always ready to response to your queries.
We booked 6 day Safari and we had a very wonderful experienced. Great to see wild animals and plus we think we came to perfect weather. But According to the guide- the migration of the wildebeest and other animals is between July to October. So if you want to see more animal it is better come to these month so you will be able to see more animals on the field.
We saw many zebras and gazelle's and smallest antelope, elephant and we even see bat eared fox and other foxes, lions, cheetah's and leopard around and it was so so good to see them in person living in the wild.
Clothes- you can wear any clothes of your preference.
Camp- We stayed in Lenchada camp in Masai Mara for 2 nights where we experience the hospitality of the locals. The other lady looks like she is angry all the time but inside she is really kindhearted woman. The other camp are also great and they met our expectations. In Amboseli park we stayed in Kimana camp for one night and I had to upgrade from Kimana camp to Kibo camp for the second night.
Kibo camp is great experience and they even have restaurant and swimming pool and bar where you can have a drink and relax after a long day drive from safari. They also have wifi which is very important (to update your facebook and blogs) and for the cost I think it is reasonable.
Our driver name is John. He is the one who drives us for 6 days in the safaris and I would say that he is well trained and well mannered tour guide and driver. He speaks English fluently and he is easy to talk to. Because we visit safari with our big camera's, often time I had to ask John to stop the car and stop the Engine (when in safari) to avoid shake and blur for my photo and he always answer to my bidding :)
The result of course we are happy because we get the photo that we wanted.
For this great experienced, I would like to say big Thanks to Axis Africa Safaris team for giving us great experienced. I would recommend that they should put "Wi-fi" on the vehicle so the tourist will have access on the internet during the travel like other safaris van do.
