A decent agency, everything went well.
We had a good experience with Axis Africa Safaris but I think the communication from their side should be improved. We booked the budget option for Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and made the reservation about 2 months in advance. Ever since we transferred the deposit we didn't hear anything from them again up until 2 days before our safari when we contacted them ourselves. We started to worry that the agency could be a scam due to that. We also didn't receive any information regarding our itinerary, with specific details about our accommodation, drivers etc. Everything went well eventually and everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful from the moment the safari started. The camp and lodge we stayed were very nice. The food was ok in general with some exceptions that it was not good. The highlight of our safari was our driver.
We had a great time with Jeff as our driver! He was super experienced and very professional. He was amazing at spotting animals and always positioned the car in the best spot possible to have a great view of the animals. He clearly had a lot of knowledge regarding all the animals we encountered, he gave us a lot of informatio, and was happy to answer all our questions. Overall, we were very happy with Jeff!

Wonderful safari trip with an incredible guide!
Booked a 3 day 2 night Masai Mara tour. Tent accommodation was very comfortable. Our tour guide Johnny was amazing! He is very skilled and knowledgeable, and definitely made our safari experience unforgettable.

King of the Safari for Customer Service
The Guide was informative from the second he welcomed us in Nairobi. But when he drove us in the park, he really shined. How did he find that hidden leopard? And that family of lions? It’s no wonder so many other guides seemed him (Jack) for guidance.
My family (ages 17-60) unanimously state the Masai village tour was the highlight. We are humbled to have entered a home and have an amazing discussion. Thank you, Axis, for including this!
We badgered the customer service agent with an unfair load of questions and special requests. All were answered in the warmest, welcoming manner. Cynthia is the best helper ever!

Gerald is an extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable safari guide.
Axis Expedition & Safari, as well as our tour guide, Gerald "G-man" Makucha, were very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable thoroughout each step of our safari, from booking with special requests to touring the Masai Mara. From our first afternoon ride, we saw a wide variety of beautiful animals including three of the big five, and many other notable "surprises" such as giraffe, cheetah, and Tsabo cat. Our group not only enjoyed seeing the wide array of wildlife, but also Gerald's community spirit among all the tour guides on the way. I highly recommend Axis & Gerald for safari!
Highly experienced and accomidating
Our driver g-man was a expert at navigating the harsh terrain. You could tell he knew the land like the back of his hand. When we saw cool animals like lions he would always try to find a better position to stop so we could watch better

Super supportive
It was a great experience of Safari in Kenya.
From right after the price quotation request, Cynthia replied to all my questions kindly in timely manner and it helped to alleviate some of my concerns prior to joining the tour as a solo traveler. I could have her support even for my VISA application.
The tour was very organized and we could see BIG5 during this 4 days tour luckily.
Selected accommodations were also comfortable for me. On top of that, I could meet great friends through this tour thanks to their arrangement.
Tour guide Jimmy also has very nice character and kindly answered to all our questions. We enjoyed the tour all together and it will be an unforgettable memory for me.

Gerald is kind, resourceful, good driver and easy to talk with
Well organized and they kept time. I like how patient they were with us when we were a bit late on the first day of our tour.

Exceeded our high expectations!
This Safari was a destination anniversary for my wife and I.
Locations and weather were all we might have expected - stunning. Joshua, our expertly trained and finely practiced guide along with his intern Robbie made the Safari more than we could have hoped for! Like being in a "Wild Kingdom" episode but with a team that couldn't hide their enthusiasm for the animals, land, and the Masai; all capped with a passion for Kenya.
We chose the luxury accommodations because of our celebration. We were very pleased with Jambo Mara Safari Lodge and the Sarova Woodlands Hotel. Excellent rooms, meals and remarkable as well as pleasant staff.
This was an anniversary we will cherish. Thanks to Axis Safaris.
