Opt for Raymond and Sankale
Choosing a safari company was honestly quite confusing. We spent a lot of time researching and contacting different operators before deciding on Axis Safaris. After the experience, I can confidently say we made the right choice.
We visited Masai Mara during the peak season, so we were a little nervous about the crowds, pricing and whether everything would actually go as promised. But Axis was very professional from the beginning. The communication was clear, the arrangements were smooth, and everything felt trustworthy and well organised.
But the biggest reason our safari was so good was our guide, Raymond.
Raymond was exceptional. He has great leadership and people skills, and you can tell that he genuinely enjoys what he does. He wasn’t just driving us around looking for animals — he understood the Mara, knew where to look and was constantly communicating with other guides. He has good relationships with guides from other companies as well, which was a huge advantage. When there was a good sighting somewhere, information would quickly travel between the guides and Raymond knew how to get us there.
That made a massive difference, especially during peak season. We got some incredible sightings and never felt like we were just following the crowd. Raymond was also extremely patient and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.
Our stay at Sankale was another pleasant surprise. Considering this was a relatively budget-friendly safari, the room was excellent — clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. After spending hours on game drives, having a comfortable place to come back to was definitely appreciated.
For us, we somehow ended up with the perfect combination: a reasonably priced safari with Axis, an amazing guide like Raymond, and a comfortable stay at Sankale. It gave us the experience we wanted without feeling like we had to spend a fortune.
There are obviously many safari operators to choose from, and we did our homework before booking. Based on our experience, Axis Safaris is a company I would happily recommend if you’re looking for something professional, reliable and reasonably priced.
And if you get Raymond as your guide, consider yourself lucky! 😄
Thank you to the Axis team and especially Raymond for making our Masai Mara experience one of the highlights of our Kenya trip. 🦁❤️

Axis provided me the best budgeted safari and stay
Axis gave me one of the best Masai Mara safari experiences at a great price.
They arranged my stay at Sankale Camp, where the caretakers were incredibly warm and welcoming. They truly made me feel at home throughout my stay.
I was lucky enough to see the Big Five on Day 1 itself! A big thanks to Raymond, our guide, who went above and beyond to give us the best experience and make sure we got the best views of the animals.
I’m really glad I chose Axis. They made my Masai Mara trip truly memorable, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a safari.

A pleasure from pick-up to drop-off, very smooth and well-rounded team on the mountain.
Online process went well overall, but if your starting point is not Nairobi, make sure to discuss the logistics (pick-up time, location and luggage) early enough, as we found ourselves with an extra bag that the team had to carry.
The service was perfect, we were taken care of at every single step of the way: great food, very considerate guides, water, … five star!
Good value for money & reliable, nothing to complain about.
Overall, really enjoyed the tour, especially thanks to our great team.

Reliable, great communication, passionate and tireless driver/guide
I chose Axis safari because I saw so many reviews and good words about them. I can confirm everything. From the very beginning they were polite and no pushing me to decide. I found with them a good mix of accommodation and a good price. We did 6 days safari/5 nights: 2 days masai mara, 1 day lake nakuru and 2 in amboseli. We can achieve all the goals: lions, lioness and cubs, rhyno, cheetah and leopard, giraffe, zebras and so many others. Khalifa, our driver, was so tireless. He tried to find every animals we would love to see going everywhere and knowing every corner of the national parks.
The accommodation were amazing and also our adventure friends.

An unforgettable safari experience in Maasai Mara!
I had an amazing experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris from beginning to end. Everything was very well organized, starting with my first contacts with Jacklyne, who was always helpful, friendly, and professional. The hotel pick-up and the entire journey to Maasai Mara went smoothly, and it was clear that the company pays attention to every detail.
The accommodation provided was excellent — comfortable, well located, and a perfect place to relax after a full day of safari. The meals were also very good and contributed to an overall great experience.
However, I would like to give a very special mention to our guide and driver, Simba. He truly made the safari unforgettable. Besides being an excellent and very skilled driver, Simba was extremely friendly, patient, and always willing to answer our questions and share his knowledge.
His knowledge of Maasai Mara and its wildlife was impressive. He has an incredible eye for spotting animals from very long distances, often noticing wildlife that we would never have seen on our own. His experience, enthusiasm, and understanding of animal behavior made every game drive exciting and educational.
Having someone like Simba is incredibly valuable for a safari company. The landscapes and wildlife of Maasai Mara are already extraordinary, but the right guide can completely transform the experience. A knowledgeable, patient, and passionate professional like Simba turns a great safari into a truly memorable one.
I highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, and if you have the opportunity to have Simba as your guide, you will be in excellent hands.
Thank you to Jacklyne, Simba, and the entire Axis Africa team for such a wonderful experience in Kenya!
