Wonderful
The Axis Africa agency is truly well-organized and offers excellent service regarding transport, lodges, and food. We traveled with Kelvin Ngamia during our four-day safari and had a wonderful experience. He is a kind, young man who allowed us to fully enjoy the park landscapes while driving his Jeep skillfully, respecting nature and the wildlife, and explaining the wonders of the parks to us. He was always ready to help and accompany us, never watching the clock. We wholeheartedly recommend this agency and their driver.

Outstanding Safari Experience Across Kenya
We recently completed an incredible safari with Axis Africa Safari covering Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli, and it was truly magical.
From the outset, Jackline made the entire experience seamless. She put together an excellent itinerary, selected outstanding lodges and camps, and managed every logistical detail flawlessly, including our airport pickup. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
A special mention must go to our guide Peter Kapino, who was nothing short of exceptional and played a huge role in making this safari such a success. Peter combines deep knowledge, experience and genuine passion for Kenya's wildlife and ecosystems. His understanding of animal behaviour patterns, keen eye for spotting wildlife, and profound respect for the rich and sensitive biodiversity of the parks were evident every day.
Thanks to Peter's expertise and determination, we were fortunate enough to see the entire Big Five, including the elusive leopard not once but twice. His vehicle positioning was consistently outstanding, ensuring we always had the best possible views while remaining respectful of the animals and their environment.It was his persistence and tenacity that helped us spot a big cat in Amboseli, something we know is far from guaranteed.
Travelling with my elderly father, I particularly appreciated Peter's patience and thoughtfulness. He was attentive to his needs, coordinated effectively with local guides, and ensured activities were conducted at a comfortable pace without compromising the experience.
The itinerary was well planned, maximising game-drive time while still allowing us to enjoy the lodges and camps without feeling rushed. Axis and Peter were also highly flexible and accommodating whenever we had special requests.
If you're considering a safari in Kenya, I highly recommend Axis. The combination of initial planning and Peter Kapino's outstanding guiding made this a truly unforgettable journey
Highly recommended

Amazing
Amazing! It was very easy to talk to Axis to explain my doubts before the tour, via email and WhatsApp. The day the tour started, at the office everyone was very nice, they gave us T-shirt’s with the company logo for us to use at the safari.
We did 6 days Safari. (Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli) and choose the mid range/mid luxury, the hotels were amazing with good facilities and food.
Our tour driver,Tom, he was amazing! Our trip was 100% better because of him. He is a very knowledgeable man, very wise and very careful while driving. We felt very safe. He has a lot of knowledge about every single animal and he knows the parks very very well. He did everything in his power for us to have the best experience and he didn’t rest until we saw the Big Five!
I totally recomend Axis, specially Tom!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Axis Africa Safaris and Peter Kapino
Peter Kapino and the team at Axis Africa Safaris delivered an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Throughout our entire trip, Peter Kapino was absolute magic. He is the ideal guide—hilarious, deeply knowledgeable, incredibly gracious, and fully professional every single step of the way.
His expert wildlife tracking skills and deep understanding of animal behavior meant zero wasted time in the park, allowing us to maximize every single game drive to tick off all of the Big Five and even track down the full set of the Ugly Five. Beyond his incredible eye for spotting wildlife, Peter's warm personality and great sense of humor kept every drive lighthearted and fun, while his top-tier professionalism ensured smooth logistics, punctual departures, and complete peace of mind throughout our journey.
If you are planning a safari with Axis Africa Safaris, do yourself a favor and request Peter Kapino—truly cannot recommend him highly enough!

Experienced
Everything about our safari was exactly as I expected, and in many ways, even better.
From the very first time I requested information, the communication was excellent. They always replied quickly, kept in close contact with me, and were completely transparent throughout the entire booking process. There were no surprises when we arrived and nothing was different from what had been agreed upon. Even when I decided to make some last-minute upgrades to our package, everything was handled smoothly, with clear information about prices, conditions, and everything we needed to know.
The company is very professional and serious. The fact that they have offices in central Nairobi also gave me a lot of peace of mind when booking remotely and several months in advance.
Our guide, Dr. Andrew Kamau, was outstanding. He was always punctual, extremely experienced, and an excellent driver despite the challenging roads and difficult driving conditions. His knowledge of the wildlife was impressive, but what surprised me the most was how well he knew such a huge area, even in places where there are barely any marked roads. His experience and skills were definitely a key part of making our safari such an incredible experience.
The accommodations they selected also exceeded our expectations by far, especially compared with what I had seen from other companies while researching and comparing different safari options.
Overall, I honestly think it would be very difficult to find a better option. From the communication and organization to the guide, accommodations, and the actual safari experience, everything was excellent. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Very good communication.
We had a great safari experience with Axis Africa. A special shout-out to our driver and guide, Raymond, who was clearly very experienced and knowledgeable. His expertise in spotting wildlife and knowing where to go made a huge difference, and thanks to him I managed to see all the animals I had hoped to see!
Cost effective while not compromising on quality
Everything was planned and went very smoothly. Accomodation, food, transportation and best of all our driver and guide Kelvin Ngamia. He is knowledgeable, kind, patient, professional, and safe. He put all the effort and made the experience unforgettable for us.

A reliable and caring safari operator offering great value and unforgettable experiences.
We had an absolutely wonderful four-day safari with Axis, visiting the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. From booking to the end of the trip, communication was smooth, clear, and reliable, and the value for money was excellent.
A special mention to our guide, Kelvin Ngamia, who made the experience truly unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, passionate, patient, and a very safe driver. He always made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience, while taking the time to explain the wildlife and answer our many questions.
We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five, as well as cheetahs and leopards—including the unforgettable sight of a leopard hunting a serval cat! At Lake Nakuru, we also saw white rhinos and hundreds of flamingos.

Jumbe is dependable, helpful and knowledgeable
We came to know about Axis Safari through a friend. It has been an amazing safari experience. The safari went without a hitch because of the meticulousness and professionalism of Axis. They took care of everything for us and held our hand through the entire safari. Tabitha was always ready to answer our questions. She helped us with everything, booking a taxi to and from the airport. Once our tour guide came to pick us up at the hotel, we were in great hands. Jumbe was punctual, dependable and very knowledgeable. He made sure we saw maximum wildlife with minimum fuss. Whenever there was a wildlife sighting, magically we were there to see it.
