Kenya – a country and its people that are well worth getting to know
We thought Kenya and its people were wonderful. We were fascinated by the people’s calm demeanour. The landscape was breathtaking. We had booked a safari in the Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha und Lake Nakuru including Hells Gate. We were pleasantly surprised by the vastness, the high mountains and the fact that the Maasai Mara lies at over 2,000 metres above sea level. We’d always thought Kenya was flat and hot, but we had very pleasant temperatures of around 30 degrees. We saw the Big Five and our driver was brilliant. The staff at all the hotels were very friendly and always helpful and the hotels themselves were all very clean and well-maintained.
A tip for anyone planning to visit Kenya: book an Uber, or take a tuk-tuk or motorbike, but don’t drive a car yourself. The traffic in the cities is not for the faint-hearted, and the roads are often in poor condition.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Incredible Wildlife and Sunsets
Kenya exceeded all my expectations. We were incredibly lucky to see four of the "Big Five" (everything except the rhino), along with rare sightings like the Serval cat, which was a real highlight.
The accommodations were outstanding. The lodge provided exceptional hospitality, even upgrading my stay, which made my trip truly special. The quality of the food was consistently high and very impressive.
To top it all off, the sunset we witnessed in the Maasai Mara was the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life. I highly recommend Kenya to any nature and wildlife lover!

Beautiful
Mamut, our guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful. The lodges were great, and we saw almost all the animals. A fantastic safari! Thank you!

A most memorable Safari that unexpectedly included quite a bit of extra education ....
about all the animals and some of the plant life. Our first lodge and its cuisine was excellent, and our second was a nice was average overall. Our Guides were excellent.

We experienced the best and worst of what Kenya has to offer
Outside of the Safari we spent several days in Nairobi was well as visiting Oyugis and Kisumu in western Kenya. Our short visit to downtown Nairobi on day one was marred by being confronted with blatant government corruption. I unknowingly took a single cell phone photo of the parliament building from across a four lane street. I was immediately approached by two guards armed with automatic weapons and threatened with jail and a fine for taking the photo; my phone was also confiscated.

Luckily, I was accompanied by a Kenyan citizen who knew that what the guards really wanted was a bribe. It took roughly 60 USD to get my phone back.Corruption and open bribery also reared its ugly head at the parks. It was clear that bribes needed to be paid to park officials as park in addition to the official entry fees. It was also clear that the official entry fees are not used to help improve the parks.
Traveling around the country was great; the scenic beauty of the rural countryside, tea plantations and sunsets over Lake Victoria were awesome. But, the lack of infrastructure, pollution and horrendous traffic detracted from the overall beauty.

It was a marvelous experience to be on the Massai Mara and see such a great variety of animals.
The Massai Mara land is beautiful, as were the great variety of animals I saw. A wonderful experience.

Best experience in my life! From Ecuador
Visiting Kenya as the main destination for my 2026 vacation was the best decision I could have made. The country is rich in history, with fascinating museums, archives, and incredible wildlife destinations, including its renowned national parks.
I had the opportunity to visit the Masai Mara, where I saw the Big Five and immersed myself in the culture of the Maasai tribe an experience that truly blew my mind. In addition, I went on a safari with Axis Safari, who made sure I experienced the region’s extraordinary wildlife up close.
Don’t hesitate in choosing Kenya as your next destination…

Very kind and punctual
We make masai mara, amboseli, nairobi NP. All were great. But in march at amboseli are very less elephants. I would recommend masai mara and nairobi (with Lots of rhinos).
Great experience
