Great and safe agency
I did an 8-day, 7-night trip to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara.
I hired this company because it was the most flexible when it came to putting together my itinerary and the things we wanted to do. They answered all my questions immediately. Their booking and payment process is also very secure and flexible.
Our guide Kessy was quite skilled at driving, especially during the rainy season when we traveled. The only thing I would improve is that he gave more information about the animals. Because sometimes he did and sometimes he didn't.
What I would improve in general: I perceived the game drives to be a bit rushed at times. It was the third time I traveled to Africa and both in Kenya and South Africa the format is 3 or 4 hours of game drive in the morning - rest at the hotel - 4 hours of game drive in the afternoon.
Here, the truth is that they were a bit short and during very hot hours when it is very rare to see active animals and it was a long distance from the parks to the hotel (something I recommend asking beforehand).
Tarangire safari 3 hours on the first day and 5 hours on the second day.
*Serengeti was the best both in time and accommodation because it was inside. I loved the Kontiki camp!!
Ngorongoro was the shortest at around 2 hours of game drive :(
Lake Manyara 3 hours.
So on average 1 day of safari is actually a maximum of 5 hours during full sun and heat. That would improve it. Everything else was great!

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure
The safari went so well, I would never have imagined such an experience.
The journey was very comfortable and the driver used the best route to our destinations in masaimara,nakuru and ambosali.
The program was well planned never fell short of what was promised.
The drivers Roger,jackson are the best tour guides I have ever met. Very friendly amd welcoming, I would definitely recommend my friends and family to him. The guides knows the park so well and is conversant with the various wildlife we were interested in.
Thank you axis africa safaris,
i highly recommend the service.

Stanley was very good, knew a lot of fun stuff about the animals and had great humor
My tour to Kruger was very special. We saw so many animals and the nature was amazing. Even though I was traveling on my own, I met a lot of great people.

Efficient and adapted the itinerary to our needs.
Amazing range of animals and birds seen on this safari made all the more wonderful by our excellent tour guide/driver (Christian). Our tour guide/driver was knowledgeable, safe and reliable. He met our requirements in terms of what animals we hoped to see and had excellent information on the animals.

Super good!
We payed everything in advance, worked out good. They fixed with pick up in Moshi, the company were helpful and easy to reach. 2 day safari in Ngorongoro and Tarengire, we had a very experienced guide, good car and saw all big five. The lodge were very luxury, not really worth it for only one night when we didn’t have time to use the pool etc.

Review about Tsavo West National Park by Cindy Eyler
We had a great night drive experience with seeing lions take down their prey and eat it alive until it finally died, but in general there wasn't a huge amount of wildlife to see at this place. They need to add more roads closer to water areas to see more animals. It's very dry and hot so the animals are probably at the water areas that vehicles do not have access to. I think we were lucky to have seen the lion experience. Without that it would have been pretty slim to see a lot of wildlife. It's a long drive especially if you don't get to have an amazing experience. The tent camp did have a lot of hippos in their water. I give this 4 stars only because of the night drive Lion experience. If that did't happen it would be a 1 or 2 stars max.

Review about Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary by Cindy Eyler
It was a nice experience due to staying at the hotel on stilts and the wildlife that comes to their pond. Could get close up via the viewing room at the bottom of the hotel which was cool. We heard lions mating with roars that shook the room at night. Unique experience.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Rik
This was our first park. A great start to get to know some animals. Some Elephants came close and ran around. Very nice lunch spots to go whild on your gamedrive. It was a nice park were we spent some hours looking.

The tour was overall good. Kiki is the best tour guide. However, there was one issue: We were told that the visit to the Maasai village was optional, but it felt almost mandatory to participate, and during the tour, we were heavily encouraged to purchase many items. If you do not wish to participate, please be cautious about this.

The safari game tour was amazing but we were guided to the masai village although we did not request the option. We had to pay additional fee which was a little disappointing to end our tour.
