Loved the tour..thanks to axis and best driver jackson
Our four-day safari with Axis Travel was absolutely amazing. Masai Mara was a true highlight, and our guide Jackson was exceptional. He was calm, knowledgeable, and put in so much effort to make sure we got the best sightings possible, giving us plenty of time for photography. Though seeing a leopard and rhino proved tough, his dedication was unmatched. The boating tour on Lake Naivasha was a nice experience, and our time in Nakuru was fine, where we spotted a whole lion family and a rhino from far The other driver, John, was good too, but Jackson was definitely the best, and the food was consistently good throughout the trip.though little bland for indians.
The accommodations really added to the enjoyment of the trip, starting with the first two nights at Lencada camp, where the Wi-Fi worked well in the rooms. The third night at Buraha Hotel near Lake Nakuru was also a very nice stay. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with Axis Travel.

Generally satisfied.
・I participated in a 3-day, 2-night tour; although the game drive on the first day was only 2–3 hours long, it still required an entrance fee, so I opted to join only the game drive on the second day to save money. Even so, I was able to enjoy a full day of safari activities and was very satisfied with the experience. The guide also provided plenty of commentary about the animals.
There was no set end time for the game drive, and we had no subsequent plans, so we were free to return to our accommodation whenever we liked; however, the guide seemed eager to wrap things up by late afternoon—hurrying us along for some reason whenever we stopped to take photos—which I found a bit unpleasant.
・When I went to the river to see hippos, I was guided by an armed guard, but I felt uncomfortable because I was essentially forced to give a tip. However, since there were so many other people around, I don't think this practice is limited to just this tour company.
・The price included transportation, but for the return trip, I wasn't taken back to my hotel; instead, I was told to take a taxi from the office—for some reason, they wouldn't drive me. Since it was only 1.5 km away, I walked. However, other people whose hotels were on the way back *were* given a ride.
・This is slightly off-topic regarding the tour company itself, but I stayed at a partner budget-friendly accommodation. Another person on the same tour forgot their wallet there; they were contacted about it, but 1,000 KSH had been stolen from it.

Perfect Honeymoon Safari: Full Big Five & Exceptional Guide Collin from Axis Africa
My wife and I enjoyed an incredible 6-day honeymoon safari across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with Axis Africa and the whole journey was incredibly smooth and well-organized from start to finish. Pre-trip communication was prompt and clear, and the team maintained reliable updates throughout our travel, eliminating all logistical worries for us as first-time Africa visitors.
Tabitha warmly greeted us with delicate romantic honeymoon surprises upon our arrival, making our special trip feel personalized and heartfelt immediately. Our dedicated driver and guide Collin Sempele is highly professional, experienced and deeply respectful of wildlife ethics. On our first game drive in Masai Mara, he located the entire Big Five within only 2.5 hours. He guided us to safe, up-close sightings of herds of rhinos at Lake Nakuru, plus more than 20 unique bird species and large elephant populations during our stay in Amboseli National Park, alongside cheetahs and countless rare wildlife across the whole itinerary. He also offered patient photography guidance, helping us capture countless breathtaking photos we will cherish permanently.

Amazing Kenya Safari for Our Honeymoon
We’ve just finished our 6‑day, 5‑night Kenya safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli.
Tabitha replied to emails very quickly. As it was our honeymoon, she arranged fresh flowers and coordinated with hotels for honeymoon decorations.
Our guide Collin Sempele, with more than 25 years of experience, knows animal habits and local weather very well. We saw the African Big Five and roughly 20‑30 species of animals. He gave us great tips for wildlife sightings and photography, and we got so many amazing shots.
We are very happy with this Kenya trip overall.

We had an absolutely amazing safari experience! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and it exceeded all of our expectations.
A very special thank you to our driver and guide, Amos. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire trip, drove safely and smoothly, and always knew exactly where to go. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five and many other amazing animals from incredibly close distances.
Amos has a great eye for spotting wildlife and took the time to make sure everyone had the best possible views and plenty of opportunities for photos. His passion for nature and wildlife made the experience even more enjoyable.
We couldn't have asked for a better guide or a better safari. We highly recommend this company, and if you have the chance, definitely ask for Amos—you won't be disappointed!
