Excellent Safari experience with Axis
Excellent safari experience with Axis Africa! We spotted the big 5. And had a wonderful time seeing other animals too. Our guide Saddam was excellent, he knew the exact locations to spot animals. He was patient and did not rush us. The planning and prep done by Tabitha was also too good. She was very responsive to all my queries. The stay options were also good. Especially Enkorok camp in Mara.

An unforgettable 7-day Kenya safari with Peter Kapino
We had an absolutely unforgettable 7-day private safari with Axil Africa Safaris, travelling through the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hell’s Gate and Amboseli. Our guide and driver, Peter Kapino, was one of the biggest reasons this trip became such a special experience for us.
From the first morning in Nairobi, Peter Kapino was friendly, patient and professional. Seven days is a long time to spend together in a safari vehicle, especially with many hours of driving between parks, but Peter made the whole journey comfortable and enjoyable. He is easy to talk to, always happy to answer questions, and has a calm and positive personality. By the end of the safari, it felt much more like travelling with a knowledgeable local friend than simply having a driver.
The wildlife experience in the Masai Mara was beyond anything we expected. We saw an incredible number of animals, including many lions. One of the most memorable moments of the entire trip was seeing two lions mating. It was fascinating to witness this natural behavior so close to us, and Peter explained what was happening, how frequently lions mate during this period, and how this relates to their social and reproductive behavior.
We also had an amazing encounter with a cheetah eating its prey. Instead of just stopping for a photograph and immediately moving on, Peter positioned the vehicle carefully and gave us enough time to watch the animal. His knowledge of animal behavior made these encounters much more meaningful because he explained not only what species we were looking at, but also what the animals were doing and why.
Another major highlight was seeing the wildebeest migration. Watching huge numbers of wildebeest moving across the Mara landscape was something we had seen many times in documentaries, but experiencing it in person was completely different. The scale of the migration is difficult to describe. There were animals stretching across the plains, mixed with zebras and other wildlife. Peter explained the migration cycle, how the animals move between Kenya and Tanzania, and how rainfall and grazing conditions influence their movements.
We also saw a beautiful giraffe under the sunset in the Masai Mara. The giraffe standing against the warm evening sky and open savanna was one of the most peaceful and photogenic moments of the safari. Peter understood how important the light was for photography and gave us time to enjoy the scene rather than rushing to move on.
Lake Nakuru was another completely different experience. We saw rhinos, which had been high on our list before coming to Kenya, and we were amazed by the large number of birds. In particular, there were so many flamingos, creating beautiful pink areas along the lake shore. We also saw pelicans, storks and many other water birds. Peter was able to identify different species and explain why Lake Nakuru is such an important habitat for birds and wildlife.
Amboseli was the perfect final destination. Seeing large elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro rising behind them was one of those classic African scenes that almost looks unreal when you finally see it yourself. We had wonderful views of elephants walking across the open plains with Kilimanjaro in the background. Some of the elephants were enormous, and Peter explained their family structures, feeding behavior and movements around the Amboseli ecosystem. For photography, this was probably one of the highlights of the entire trip.
Peter Kapino’s knowledge goes far beyond wildlife. Throughout the week he explained Kenyan geography, local culture, different communities, the Great Rift Valley and the ecology of each park. The landscapes changed dramatically between Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli, and his explanations helped us understand why different animals and vegetation are found in each area.
We also really appreciated Peter’s driving skills. Some safari tracks were very rough, but he handled them confidently and safely. Inside the parks, he had a good sense of where wildlife might be found and how to position the vehicle for both viewing and photography. He never made us feel rushed and often waited when there was interesting animal behavior developing.
Overall, this safari exceeded our expectations. We saw lions, cheetahs, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, flamingos and many other animals, but it was Peter Kapino’s knowledge and personality that connected all of these experiences together.
We would absolutely recommend Peter Kapino from Axil Africa Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. He is knowledgeable, friendly, patient, an excellent driver and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing his country and its wildlife. Thank you, Peter, for giving us seven days filled with incredible wildlife, beautiful landscapes and memories we will never forget.

Extremely professional guide, very well prepared and flexible
Our guide, Collin Sempele, has contributed to let us live a wonderful vacation. From the first day he has been flexible to fulfill our desires, still suggesting which timing is best to see wild animals (early morning and late afternoon) and the best mood to have in safaris (it us important to be patient and keep in mind we have not power on nature).
Collin is very well prepared on animals and Kenyan history and was happy to tell to us every detail we were curious about.
Our guide was always carrying of making our experience the best as possible, finding the best spot to see animals, and the best place to eat.
A 5 out of 5 experience!

A true five star experience.

Amazing Safari 🦁🇰🇪 — Great guides, incredible wildlife, Swahili music & dancing in the Mara!
Just completed an amazing safari in the Masai Mara with Axis Safari, and honestly, it was an experience I’ll never forget.
A huge shoutout to our guides, Sadam and Booh. They weren’t just great guides, they genuinely made us feel at home. From spotting animals and birds to telling us about the trees, the Mara, and the Maasai community, they made every drive interesting and memorable.
And then there were the little moments that made the trip even more special like listening to the Axis anthem and different Swahili songs in the safari car, and eventually dancing to them right there in the middle of the Mara! 😂🇰🇪
The safari was incredible, but it was the people, the music, the stories and the laughs that made it truly special.
Thank you, Sadam, Booh, Tabitha (tour operator) and the entire Axis Safari team for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend! 🦁🐆🐘🦏🐃❤️
