Very Professional
The tour operator was very thorough and professional in the communication even before the tour was booked.
Our guide Albert had the eye of a hawk to spot wildlife during the Safari. He would keep scanning the landscape for even the most interesting small animals and birds and point them out to us while Always maintaining a comfortable distance between the animals and the vehicle.
His sense of humour and knowledge of the animals, geography and even history or the land kept us entertained throughout the Safari.
The stays were very comfortable and the food and refreshments were always available in plenty.
Overall a great value.

Always got the best angles to view Big 5
The trip was well organized.
I especially like our group with a fun vibe and our guide, Moses always made sure we got the best angles to shoot animals and spent enough time watching them.

Life-changing magic
Sir Charles took us to a journey that changed us forever. We visited the Masai Mara reserve, one of Masai villages, lakes Nakuru and Naivasha. Charles helped us see a lot of amazing animals and taught us a ton about their character and behaviour. But what's more important is that Charles understands, lives and breathes the magic of these vast fields and the soul of the wonderful people who take care of them.
We are humbled and deeply grateful for the chance to know him and to experience a part of Kenya through his eyes. Final and very important - Charles is a great driver, even in the most challenging circumstances. We felt safe and we had once in a lifetime experience.

Very helpful, easy to deal with and responds promptly
I first contacted Axis Africa Expedition and Safaris about a month before our trip. Eric was extremely helpful and provided us with various itinerary options to choose from. Eric was easily contactable the lead up to the trip and always answered any queries I had leading up to the trip.
I also want to make a special mention to our tour guide Jack. Jack went above and beyond to ensure we got the most out of our trip. We completed everything on our itinerary and more. Myself and my friends had the trip of a life time and I could not recommend this company enough. I would love to do this trip all over again.

Jimmy was well organised, articulate and friendly.
Our tour guide Jimmy couldn’t do enough for us! He was super organised, friendly and very knowledgable on all of the animals. The venues that we stayed in were great however, I would possibly change the apex venue to one that has a little more amenities. Overall, I wouldn’t definitely recommend this tour company to friends as the experience was easy, comfortable and one I won’t forget.

Friendly, knowledgeable and a true expert in all things Safari
We went on the trip with Acis Safaris in October of 2023 and it was an incredible trip from start to finish.
The tour operator Eric Lennox was organised and helpful with anything we needed. He answered all questions quickly through WhatsApp and adapted to any changes we needed.
Our tour guide Jimmy was just excellent. He showed his expert knowledge in the Safari each day and went out of his way to ensure we got the most out of each day, especially when our travel arrangements had to change.
The trip was good value for money with food and accommodation included. All good was nice. Most accommodation was basic but had all you need. Our accommodation in Navaisha was the only disappointing accommodation due to lack of amenities, even a patch of grass to sit on would have sufficed. However, this was only one night and the rest of the accommodations were great.
Overall an unforgettable experience and I would recommendation highly to anyone thinking of using this company.

A Mesmerizing Journey into the Wild with the Best Guide!
Our safari adventure with Axis Africa Safaris was nothing short of spectacular, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Gerald. From the moment we met, Gerald’s enthusiasm for wildlife and his extensive knowledge shone through. He shared fascinating insights about the Kenyan ecosystem that significantly enriched our understanding and appreciation of the marvelous sights we were witnessing.
Gerald went above and beyond to ensure we had a remarkable experience. He was adept at spotting animals from afar and knew the perfect times and spots for us to observe the wildlife without disturbing them. His friendly and approachable demeanor made it easy for us to ask questions and learn more about Kenya’s natural treasures.
What particularly stood out was Gerald’s respectful attitude towards the wildlife and their habitat. His commitment to responsible tourism and his genuine passion for conservation were truly inspiring.
Moreover, he was always punctual, professional, and attentive to our needs, making sure we were comfortable and safe throughout our journey.
We highly recommend Gerald and Axis Africa Safaris to anyone looking to explore the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife of Kenya. This safari was a memorable experience we will cherish forever, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Gerald.

Gerald 100%
Gerald: Gerald's boundless energy and sense of humor was a delightful touch to the adventure. His extensive knowledge of Kenya's wildlife was impressive, and he consistently led us to the most captivating animal sightings.
Throughout the tour, Gerald expertly balanced excitement and safety, ensuring an exhilarating yet secure experience. His navigation skills were top-notch, allowing us to explore the terrain efficiently. From witnessing the magnificent Maasai Mara wildlife to the serene beauty of Nakuru, the tour provided unforgettable moments. Thanks to Gerald, this safari became an unforgettable journey filled with nature's wonders.
Axis: In terms of communication, the response time was good, although there could be room for improvement, especially when it comes to updating their listings. There are recent changes at the Maasai Mara National Park entrance, and it would be helpful if such updates were reflected in their information.
When it comes to value for money, this tour is quite budget-friendly, which is a definite plus. However, it would be beneficial if they could provide clearer guidelines on tipping and the Maasai tipping expectations to ensure a smoother experience for travelers.
