good
This is an unforgettable experience in my life. The guide was very responsible and let us see almost all the animals we wanted to see. We also encountered cheetahs hunting, leopards descending from trees, and secretary vultures. The snow on Kilimanjaro is getting less and less. I will climb it next time.

Really reliable guide with extremely knowledge of wildlife
Among all the agencies I have contacted, Axis is the most responsible, economical, and efficient. Their guide is really responsible and reliable. Our trip is really out of expectation. Every national park and each Safari looks like a dream. I have recommended Axis to many of my friends. Next time when I visit Kenya, they will be my first choice.

good service and communication
Our safari with Tom from Axis Africa Safaris was a fantastic experience. From the start, he was attentive, friendly, and really made the trip feel personal. What stood out most was the way he tailored the itinerary — for example, he made the effort to take us to the bridge at the river where we could walk with rangers, which was such a special moment. When we had to switch guides for an extra night in the Masai Mara, we immediately noticed the difference — Tom truly went above and beyond to make the days exciting and memorable. His sharp eye for spotting animals and his knowledge made every sighting more meaningful, and his humor and warmth made the drives a joy.
On the logistical side, there were a few things that could be improved by the operator. On the way back, the drive ended up being 5 hours instead of the expected 2 to Lake Nakuru, as we had to drop other people off first. The vegetarian lunch boxes also could have been better, as they didn’t really include much protein. That said, the hotels along the way were good, and overall Tom’s guiding made this safari truly unforgettable.

Amazing safari with Tom from Axis Africa
We had an incredible safari experience with Tom as our guide from Axis Africa Safaris. From the very beginning, he was attentive, friendly, and full of positive energy. Tom made sure to always check what we wanted to do and adapted the days to our wishes, which made the trip feel really personal.
Thanks to his sharp eye and deep knowledge, we were able to spot so many animals — lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and many others. Each sighting came with clear, engaging explanations that helped us understand animal behavior and the ecosystem better. On top of that, Tom’s sense of humor and positive attitude made every drive fun and memorable.
I can highly recommend Tom to anyone planning a safari with Axis Africa Safaris. He truly made our trip unforgettable!

Really really good Tour with Amos
We had a wonderful safari, especially because we were lucky to have Amos as our guide. He kept to all agreements, was always on time, is a safe driver, and accommodates every request. He also has extensive knowledge of the animal world and was able to share a great deal with us, so we not only learned about every imaginable animal but also a lot about the animals surrounding them. It was a fantastic time, and we'll do the next safari with Amos again. Highly recommended. Thank you very much.

Richard is a rockstar!
This review is only for Richard’s awesomeness. Before we came for the safari, little did we know how it all works. The experience of a tourist on a safari will be completely dependent on who your driver+guide is and we got the best of the lot, Richard. He is a Masai and knows the area at the back of his hand. He has answers to everything and solutions to every problem. He never rushes when the view is good and always chases the animal routes to get you the best photograph. He is always on time and makes sure you are on time too so that you enjoy your trip to the fullest. We are so happy that our first time in East Africa was made memorable by Richard’s presence. He is great and I cannot recommend him enough!!!
Thank you Richard ♥️♥️

Richard turned our safari into a lifetime memory—funny, wise, and unforgettable.
Unforgettable Safari Experience with Richard!
Our journey through Kenya wouldn’t have been the same without Richard. With over 8 years of experience in the safari world, he is not just a guide—he’s a storyteller, wildlife expert, and cultural ambassador.
From the breathtaking plains of Masai Mara, where we witnessed incredible wildlife moments (including a leopard’s failed hunt), to the stunning landscapes of Amboseli with elephants framed against Mt. Kilimanjaro, and the vibrant birdlife of Lake Nakuru, Richard made every stop extraordinary.
What sets him apart is his deep knowledge—not only about the Big Five and countless bird species we saw—but also about the Masai culture and lifestyle. He shared fascinating stories and “secrets” of the Masai way of life, giving us a richer appreciation of the land and its people.
On top of his expertise, Richard’s humor, warmth, and energy kept our group engaged and smiling throughout the trip. He has that rare ability to make every drive and sighting exciting while also making you feel completely safe and cared for.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and Richard made it unforgettable. If you want a safari that’s not just about ticking animals off a list but about living the adventure and understanding the culture, Richard is the guide you need!

Professional and accommodating
We went on a 7 day safari, visiting all major parks across the country. I cant say enough good things about the operator, guide and all the camp team at all the locations. They were very hospitable, professional and accommodating. Our guide Kevin took all the headache and made sure that we just focused on enjoying our trip. He was very knowledgeable and managed the time and all aspects of the trip perfectly. Highly highly recommend.

A fantastic experience
Our Maasai Mara your has been a fantastic experience. It was all well organised by Axis and our guide Richard knew the park very well, so he brought us to many secret spots to make the most of the tour.
I would go again.
