Axis Safaris
Guide: Kelvin Waigi
Where do I even begin. Kelvin is not just a guide, he is a storyteller, a tracker, and one of the most passionate people I have ever met. My partner Carmen and I came to Amboseli with high hopes, and Kelvin exceeded every single one of them.
From the very first game drive, it was clear this man was on a different level. He read the land like a map animal behaviour, wind direction, distant dust clouds, things we would have driven straight past.
Elephants A massive herd of 30 crossing the plain with Kilimanjaro rising behind them. Kelvin knew everything about them, Jaw-dropping.
Lions — He spotted a lioness stalking through tall grass that we would have completely missed. We watched her and two cubs for nearly an hour.
Cheetah — The highlight of the trip. A mother with three cubs resting under an acacia. Kelvin told us most visitors never see cheetah in Amboseli. We felt incredibly lucky.
Buffalo, Hippos, Giraffes, Zebras — All spectacular, always perfectly positioned by Kelvin for photos.
Birds — Kelvin is a brilliant birder too. He pointed out the Lilac-breasted Roller, Grey Crowned Cranes, Pelicans gliding over the swamps, a Spur-winged Goose, Blacksmith Plovers by the waterline, Marabou Storks, Superb Starlings.
The only sadness was that Kelvin couldn't join us for the Masai Mara leg — we were flying and a different vehicle was arranged there. We genuinely considered changing the plan just to keep him with us. That is how good he is.
Kelvin, thank you. You made our Kenya safari the most memorable trip of our lives. We will be back and will be asking for you by name.
Plus he speaks no only English but Spanish, as well!

Amazing 😻
We had an amazing Kenya safari experience with Axis. The planning process was smooth, and Tabitha was incredibly responsive, helpful, and prompt with every query. Our guide, Khalifa, was outstanding—professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the Masai Mara. His expertise helped us spot incredible wildlife and made the whole trip unforgettable. Highly recommend Axis for anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

Outstanding company
We first heard about Suricata through some friends who had done a safari with them a few years ago, and based on their recommendation, we decided to book our trip with them. We’ve just come back, and it was an amazing experience!
We booked a 7 days trip - Adventure Camping Safari.
From the very beginning, the Suricata team was professional, helpful, and flexible. While planning the trip, they took the time to understand what we wanted and helped us create an itinerary that suited us perfectly. Communication by email was always quick and easy.
Once we arrived in Tanzania, everything was taken care of, and honestly, they exceeded our expectations. But what really made this safari unforgettable was our guide, Anton.
Anton is kind, friendly, considerate, and incredibly skilled at spotting and tracking animals. He always did his best to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible, often taking less crowded routes and avoiding the same spots so that every day felt different. You can tell he genuinely loves his job, and his enthusiasm makes the whole experience even more special. Thanks to him, we also learned a lot about animal behaviour and the ecosystem.
We should also mention that he is an excellent driver. He was always careful and responsible, and we felt safe throughout the entire trip while still managing to get everywhere on time.
We spent an incredible week with Anton and are very grateful for his professionalism, knowledge, and great sense of humour. He played a huge part in making this trip so memorable.
We would also like to thank Jeremiah, our chef. He prepared delicious meals every day and made sure we had a balanced and varied menu throughout the safari. He was a bit shy—like a leopard hiding in the bushes!—but always kind, professional, and ready to help. We really appreciated all his hard work.
We would definitely recommend Suricata to our friends and family and would happily travel with them again.

I was fortunate to have Johny Jackson as our guide on this safari. He is highly experienced and know
Our safari trip was absolutely wonderful, all thanks to our guide Johny Jackson. He has an eagle eye and always spots wildlife first. His commentary is lively and engaging, and he kindly shared tips for viewing and photography. We had such a great time and made countless wonderful memories.
