Great
Our tour with G Man was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. Thanks to his expert knowledge and sharp eye, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five and even lion cubs! G Man was not only knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscape, but also super friendly and made us feel comfortable the entire time. He brought great energy to the trip and truly made it memorable. Highly recommend this tour—and especially G Man as a guide!

Highly recommend visiting Mara with Axis
Ken was an amazing driver and guide. He ensured we had a comfortable drive from Nairobi to Mara, and was an excellent guide when we went on safaris in Masai Mara.
Axis safaris made all our arrangements - accomodation, meals, park entry, driver fees etc. which was very convenient. All the arrangements were great - the accomodation was top notch. And they gave us great prices for a group of 5 people!

Well planned and amazing trip
Our safari across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli was unforgettable—and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Francis. From start to finish, Francis was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about wildlife and nature.
He had an incredible eye for spotting animals—even from a distance—and always made sure we had the best angles for viewing and photography. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five, countless bird species, and even caught rare sightings like a leopard lounging in a tree and a rhino family at Lake Nakuru.
What stood out most was his calm, friendly demeanor. Francis was patient with our endless questions, shared fascinating stories about animal behavior and local culture, and made every game drive feel like a true adventure. He was also a very safe and skilled driver, even on rough terrain and during unexpected weather.
By the end of the trip, Francis didn’t just feel like a guide—he felt like a friend. If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, ask for Francis. You’ll be in excellent hands.

Great experience with an excellent guide
I recently went on a six-day safari tour with Axis Africa, visiting Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli. The trip was great, and I enjoyed exploring these amazing national parks. Masai Mara was a particular highlight, with its abundant wildlife and breathtaking landscapes - the game drives were exhilarating!
Our guide, Francis, was knowledgeable and hospitable. He shared interesting insights about the wildlife and ecosystems, making the experience even more enjoyable. The parks offered stunning scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities. Lake Nakuru's flamingos and Amboseli's vast plains with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background were also highlights.
Axis Africa's organization and attention to detail made the trip run smoothly. Francis and the team ensured our safety and comfort throughout. I would recommend Axis Africa for a Kenyan safari experience, especially with Francis as a guide.

Unforgettable 5-Day Experience with Axis Africa
We just finished an amazing 5-day trip in Kenya, organized by Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. The highlight was definitely the game drives in the breathtaking Masai Mara, but the entire itinerary – from Nairobi to Lake Naivasha and beyond – was seamless and well-executed.The team at Axis Africa was professional, responsive, and took care of every detail. We felt safe and well looked after throughout the trip.The 4x4 safari vehicle was comfortable and perfect for game drives.
A huge part of what made the trip so special was our tour guide and driver, Mr. Khaleefa. He was with us for all 5 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Not only was he knowledgeable, friendly, and an expert at spotting wildlife during our game drives, but he was also incredibly popular with the locals wherever we went! It was clear that he’s well-respected and warmly welcomed, which made our experience feel even more special and personal.
He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying every part of the journey
Highly recommend this company and especially a tour with Khaleefa!

Jack is an excellent, personable guide with years of experience and connections we benefited from.
It is hard to describe how amazing our Kenya safari tour with Axis was. Each of the locations we visited (Masai Mars, Nukuru, Naivasha) had amazing animals,lodgings food, and service. Our guide, Jack, is well known and loved in the guide community and was able to collaborate with other guides to make sure we got to see the best spottings of the day, wherever we were. The whole trip wad like a highlight reel for us. We traveled as a family with 3 kids 5 to 10 and another family of 5, kids 9 to 15. Everyone had a marvelous time from oldest to youngest. The whole experience was smooth, safe, and enjoyable for all. I highly recommend it! Communication with Axis was easy and efficient throughout.

Dickson is a passionate, caring guide who makes every safari unforgettable.
Absolutely unforgettable experience! Our safari was beyond amazing, and it’s all thanks to our incredible guide, Dickson. From the very first moment we met him, we knew this would be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Dickson wasn’t just knowledgeable—he was passionate, kind, and had an amazing ability to spot wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five within the first two days, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was how he shared stories, explained animal behavior, and made every moment feel magical.
Dickson made us feel safe, cared for, and completely connected to nature. Each game drive with him was a delight—his humor, expertise, and love for the land and animals were contagious. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best views, the best photos, and the most unforgettable memories.
Honestly, this safari wouldn’t have been the same without Dickson. He was the heart and soul of our adventure, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had him as our guide. If you’re planning a safari, ask for Dickson—he’s the reason our experience was absolutely perfect. Thank you, Dickson, for making our dream come true!

Perfect Safari with Dickson
Absolutely unforgettable! Our safari experience was nothing short of magical, and the person who made it all possible was the one and only Dickson. From the first warm welcome to the final wave goodbye, Dickson turned every moment into a memory we’ll cherish forever.
Dickson is not just a guide—he’s a storyteller, a wildlife expert, and someone who radiates passion for nature. His deep knowledge, paired with an extraordinary ability to spot animals from miles away, meant that we not only saw the Big Five early on, but also learned something new with every encounter. Every time Dickson spoke, we were captivated—whether he was explaining a lion’s hunting strategy or sharing local traditions and bush wisdom.
There was never a dull moment with Dickson. His sense of humor kept us laughing, his care and attentiveness made us feel completely safe, and his enthusiasm for the land and its creatures was simply inspiring. Thanks to Dickson, every sunrise game drive felt like an adventure, every sunset like a gift.
We honestly can’t imagine doing a safari without Dickson. His presence elevated everything, and we are beyond grateful for the experience he gave us. If you’re lucky enough to go on safari, do yourself a favor—request Dickson. You’ll leave with stories, photos, and a heart full of gratitude. Thank you, Dickson, for making our wildest safari dreams come true!

Superb Operator, Amazing Guide
We did a six-day, mid-range, private Safari organized by Axis. The trip included Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Naivasha. We planned things primarily over WhatsApp, and the team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. The planning and communication was easy. They answered all of our questions, and even worked some magic on their side when the Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization system was down right before our trip.
The hotels they planned for us in all three locations were great, especially the Sopa lodges in Nakuru and Naivasha. Despite booking a "mid-range" safari, those two hotels felt very luxurious!
Our Guide, Khalifa, was AMAZING. His knowledge of the flora and fauna was unmatched, and he was constantly explaining details of all of the animals we were seeing. He also kept the long drives entertaining by sharing fun stories about Kenya, its people, and its animals. Most importantly, however, Khalifa knows everyone: Almost all of the other drivers and rangers. This was especially vital in Masai Mara, where Khalifa's amazing networking skills meant that he was constantly on the phone and radio hearing about animal sightings and taking us there. In Masai Mara, for example, he found three cheetahs, a pack of female lions and cubs, three male lions facing off, two leopards in a tree, and so much more! Khalifa made our experience incredible, and I can't recommend him enough. He knows the right stuff, and the right people, to give you an unforgettable experience.
