Very dependable, good guide, saw all big 5
Axis Africa was very communicative and quick to get back to me. I got the second-cheapest accommodation and I loved it. Our guide, Mimi Kelvin, was really good at getting us to the animals efficiently and stopping for as long as we wanted. He shared some cool facts as well. Overall a very solid experience.

Unforgettable experience and outstanding, professional support both before and during our trip
My family and I would like to sincerely thank you for an unforgettable experience and for the outstanding, professional support both before and during our trip. 😃
While we know we had a bit of luck on our side by seeing 4 of big5, including that incredible leopard sighting, it was the well preparation that ensured everything ran smoothly. We felt safe, genuinely welcome, and cared for every single step of the way. 🙏🏻
Jessica and our guide, David, and driver, Erasto, receive our highest compliments. Excellent preparation and pro-active services before the trip was well taken care of by Jessica. Beyond being an excellent guide and driver, David and Erasto stepped up as mechanics, teammates, interpretors, and true problem-solvers. They all were an absolute inspiration and the perfect ambassadors for your company.

Rosy and our guide Moses, gave us an amazing Experience in Kenya. Thank you for looking after us.
Kenya,its warm and friendly people and the wild beauty it offers is a must visit.
A great way to visit Kenya for the first time. When you embrace the heartbeat of Africa and the Kenyan way, the tour is well worth the money spent. Each day brought a new surprise. A family of lions around a buffalo kill in Masai Mara, the park teeming with life, seing Flamingoes and a Miriad of other bird life at Lake Nukuru, walking with game on Crescent Island and eating delicious local food along the way.
Stopping for a canyon walk at Hells Gate was another fantastic surprise.
Wow!!! I felt safe and well looked after.
Rosy and Moses went out of their way to solve small issues for me and I really would recommend them for your safari experience. Thank you guys for amazing memories and making me want to come back to explore so much more.

Amazing experience
Our Safari was truly an unforgettable experience. The landscapes were breathtaking andd seeing the wildlife in their natural habitat was amazing. Our guide William was friendly and made every game drive exciting…
A special thanks to NAMAYANI at the safari office who handled our booking and coordination. She was professional kind and made the whole process easy. We truly appreciate all her help 🙏🏻
The only area that could be improved was the food. Unfortunately, it was often served cold and did not meet the level of quality we expected. We hope this can be addressed, as it would make an already amazing experience even better.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this safari to anyone looking for an incredible adventure in Tanzania

It's an impressive animal paradise.
Our trip to Kenya lasted 15 days. A 7-day safari through the Masai Mara reserve, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha (Crescent Island), and Amboseli reserve. A magnificent experience that exceeded our expectations. We spent 3 days visiting Nairobi, including the giraffe center, the home of Karen Blexin (author of *Memoirs of Africa*), and the Kazuri Handicraft Center. We finished with 5 days on Diani Beach.

Masai Mara Safari & Enchoro Wildlife Camp Review
Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
Location: Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
Tour Operator: Easy Budget Safaris
Camp: Enchoro Wildlife Camp
Outstanding Tour Operator & Field Guide
My safari experience in the Masai Mara was incredible, and a huge part of that success goes to our tour operator, Easy Budget Safaris, and our amazing driver-guide, Charles.
* Easy Budget Safaris: They were excellent and highly responsive, providing truly friendly and caring customer service. When I raised the issues we faced at the camp with them, they were immediately apologetic and took full accountability, assuring me they would look into the matter to ensure everything was resolved.
* Charles (Driver-Guide): He is deeply knowledgeable, highly professional, and genuinely cares about his tourists, constantly encouraging and supporting us throughout the journey.
* Wildlife Highlights: We were fortunate enough to witness the spectacular wildebeest migration, spot four of the Big Five (all except the rhinos), and see the fascinating "Ugly Five." Every moment on the safari drives was unforgettable.
At the camp itself, Simon (one of the staff members) stood out for being exceptionally helpful and cordial. The tents were clean, comfortable, and had a reliable electricity supply.
Areas for Improvement: Camp Management & Facilities
Unfortunately, the Enchoro Wildlife Camp management falls well short of the excellence provided by the field staff and Easy Budget Safaris—representing a noticeable decline from my previous experience here back in 2016.
We encountered functional issues in both our toilet and shower facilities. While management did relocate us to a new tent after we complained, it raises serious concern about what would have happened had the camp been fully booked with no vacant tents available.
Furthermore, the WiFi connectivity was abysmal. On our first day, there was no connection at all, with staff promising it would be fixed by the next day. On day two, we finally received a signal, but it was far too weak to send even basic text messages. By day three, despite sitting alone in the dining lounge trying to get a stable connection, it failed entirely—even getting stuck while trying to load pictures to send back to family.
Final Verdict
I would highly recommend Easy Budget Safaris and guide Charles to anyone planning a trip to the Mara. However, I would not recommend Enchoro Wildlife Camp solely due to its weak management and poor infrastructure/WiFi.

A worthwhile experience
Our Masai Mara safari was an unforgettable experience, thanks largely to our driver and guide, Charles. He is an exceptionally skilled driver with a keen eye for wildlife and went above and beyond to locate animals for us. We were fortunate enough to see 4 of the Big Five, along with many other magnificent animals. Charles is currently a Silver Star guide, but based on our experience, he truly deserves a Gold Star rating.
The game drives and overall travel experience were excellent. Charles's dedication, knowledge, and persistence made the safari the highlight of our trip.
Unfortunately, the camp accommodation fell short of expectations. The toilet flush in our room didn't work initially, and the Wi-Fi was unavailable throughout our two-day stay. To the camp's credit, they promptly moved us to another room when we requested it. At dinner on the first night, the beef dish had already run out by the time we arrived, and we were offered an omelette instead.
Overall, I highly recommend this safari for the outstanding game drive experience and the professionalism of Charles. However, the accommodation and food quality need improvement to match the quality of the safari itself.

Amazing experience with knowledgeable and experienced guides
The three drivers for our group of 15 were excellent, Simon, Konana and Sam. They were very experienced and chatty. They taylored their knowledge to the different members of our group. The tour went well over the 8 days and the drivers were good at letting us know what to expect at each stage. We felt safe and cared for at all times. One hotel was disappointing (Sarova Lion Hill) as it was a building site and some in the group had small rooms and the walk from reception to the accomodation and to the restaurant was steep and uneven under foot. The vehicles were a little tired, one broke down on the first day but was quickly repaired and back for the second day. It appeared that some other tour companies had more modern vehicles with less worn and dated seats. We spent a lot of time sat travelling between the national parks so a little better comfort would have been appreciated (I understand the vehicles are what they are but the seat cushions were flattened and material torn).
