Very pleased with Saddam (driver and guide)
We toured the Amboseli National Park over X-mas in 2025. Saddam, which is his call name, not real one, took us from Nairobi forth and back.
I consider the roads of Kenya much more dangerous than wildlife, crime, or whatever in Kenya. At the beginning of our trip I had a word with Saddam about my concerns and asked him to drive safety (disclosure: pecuniary incentive offered). He took us safely back and forth. Good reading of traffic and prediction of intentions and behavior of other (insane) drivers. Overtakings are inevitable, overloaded trucks snarling up in hilly terrain, elephant overtakings when one overloaded truck overtakes another ditto uphill, Saddam drove exemplarily.
Saddam also took us inside the Amboseli National Park. He is a very extrovert person, seems to know most people around. He stops at every second or third other safari 4x4 to exchange that special handshake and small talk with the driver, while constantly listening to the chatter on the radio com channel. I interpret it as constantly being online on Kenya-style social media. It may be slightly annoying, but he has very good situational awareness. He is very familiar with the park and the terrain. Suddenly he drives with determination, repeat: determination, to reach a certain location in the park, where where we had excellent sightings of wildlife. He talks a lot on the phone, sometimes also while driving on the highway. Part of being extrovert and constantly online, I presume. I'm safety conscious and monitored it closely but felt no urge to intervene, he still drove safely. If you dont like that, make an agreement at the very start. I was pleased with Saddam. We had a great trip. I felt safe.

It was fun
I had a great time. I saw many carnivorous drivers in Masai Mara, which not only helped us to guide the way accurately, but also helped us to protect animals better.

Fantastic 7 Day Safari Across Kenya
Great value for money on this 7 day safari covering Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru/Naivasha, Amboseli and Hell’s Gate. Our booking agent Phillip was always willing to answer any questions in advance of our trip, and made our booking experience easy and efficient. Our driver Raymond was very knowledgeable about the animals and environments we saw, and very communicative about our itinerary each day. Would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone looking for a safari experience across Kenya. Everything from accommodations to meals and optional activities exceeded all expectations.
10/10 safari with a 10/10 guide
We had a fantastic experience with Axis safaris, from the start they were great with communication and catering to all our needs. Everything went smooth from start to finish. We spent 2 nights at Jambo Mara in Masai Mara, 1 night at Lake Nakuru lodge and 1 night at Lake Naivasha Sopa lodge.
Our safari guide Sir Charles was absolutely amazing, he was everything we had hoped for as a guide and made our 5 day safari perfect. We saw the big 5 and had many close encounters with animals and many laughs along the way. I would highly recommend Axis safaris and especially Sir Charles if you’re lucky enough to get him as your guide.

Got to see all the animals (except rhino but that’s very rare) so we had a great time!
The organization was great, punctual pick up from the hotel and good introduction at the office. The camp (option 2) was also amazing and the whole trip had excellent value for money with a longer than expected game drive on the first day, good food and a nice and comfortable land cruiser. The tour itself was also successful as we got to see all animals and our guide got us to the best spots. However, we would have liked to hear a bit more from him about the animals/environment. He was on the phone and/or radio a lot which we assume he did to hear about other animal locations but often it felt like just random conversations and chatting to friends. When on the phone it also didn’t feel like he was looking out for animals that much, sometimes we had to spot them and tell him for him to notice. Also, when being with animals it would have been nice to turn radio and phone off to be in the moment and tell us guests a little bit about the animals. We always had to ask if we wanted to know something which felt a bit weird, especially with him being on the phone a lot. Generally, some more communication with us guests would have been nice, to hear about what the plan is, where we are going next and so on. On the second day for example we went back to the camp earlier than expected without knowing that we were heading back. Turns out this was the plan from the beginning since we started very early and that concluded the full day game drive but it would just have been nice to know that beforehand because we ended up being a bit surprised. Just a bit more engagement with the guests in general would be beneficial I think! To conclude, these are all minor issues and we still had an amazing time and can definitely recommend going with Axis!
