Best safari experience in Kenya
This was our first ever safari, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
From the very beginning, the booking team were incredibly helpful, straightforward and honest. We really appreciated that our expectations were never oversold or exaggerated. We opted for the friendly budget option, but were still very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation, vehicle and overall experience.
What really made our trip exceptional, however, was our tour guide Yasin. He consistently went above and beyond to put us in the right places at the right times. Of course, with nature, nothing can ever be guaranteed, and wildlife sightings are always a matter of luck. We were incredibly fortunate to experience some genuinely rare and unforgettable sightings, and a huge part of that was down to our guide’s exceptional navigational skills, experience, and connections with other staff and guides.
Beyond that, Yasin's enthusiasm and knowledge were fantastic. He was able to explain not only the animals and their behaviour, but also the surrounding flora and fauna, which gave us a much deeper appreciation of everything we were seeing.
Thank you for making our first safari such a memorable experience. We came away with some incredible memories and a real appreciation for the wildlife and the people who work so hard to make these experiences possible. We would happily recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience.

We had a really amazing experience with Axis Africa Safari during our Kenya trip! 🇰🇪🦁
A special shoutout to our guide Kevin Apidi. He was extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable and honestly, such a great human being. He was always helpful, patient and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. Having a good guide makes such a difference on a safari, and Kevin definitely made our experience even more special. If we come back to Kenya again, we would definitely want Kevin to accompany us! 😊
The package was also very reasonably priced compared to the other safari options we checked. The stays included were really good, and the suggestions from the Axis Africa team throughout the trip helped us a lot in planning what places to visit and how to make the most of our time.
Everything was very well organised — the game drives, stays, food and transfers were all handled smoothly and, most importantly, everything was on time. We genuinely didn’t have to worry about the logistics or face any hassle. We could just enjoy the trip while Axis Africa took care of the planning.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we would definitely recommend Axis Africa Safari to anyone planning a Kenya trip. And a big thank you to Kevin for being such an amazing guide and making our safari even more memorable! ❤️
Hopefully, we’ll be back in Kenya soon! 🇰🇪🦒🦁
Nicole was outstanding!
Axis was a great value for a your. In fact, I feel it was way beyond what you would expect at this price point. The company is so organized and communicates so well with their staff. The tour guides themselves collaborate to ensure all guests get what they need. If one tour guide sees an animal- they call each other to share the location, etc. Also, the guides are so professional and polite- and so knowledgeable about the animals so they share such interesting facts! Their number one goal is to make sure get experience everything you hoped for. We had an amazing guide, Nicole, who knew do many facts and went far and beyond to take us to all the animals. I would highly recommend this company!

very experienced, funny, good English, perfect pacing, a guy youd want to hang out with in private
We had Andrew Kamau as a guide and were astonished by the proffesionalism of him and Axis. He was funny, very experienced with a good English, led us to alle the big five and much more and always knew when to speed up on a "mission" and when to slow down, take a photo/washroom/lunch break to make this exhausting trip really enjoyable and memorable throughout.
The diversity and amount of wildlife to be seen was way beyond what we were expecting, and we felt that Kenyans in general had really made preservation a priority for their country and are rightfully proud of the success.
Vegan or vegetarian options on this tour and in Kenya in general have a way better availability than in many European countries.
We were wondering before the vacation, if it could be worth it, to rent a car and do the drives ourselves, but gladly decided against it and booked this fantastic pretty much all inclusive tour. Just lean back and enjoy all the wonders on the way, you do not need to drive on Kenyan highways and through Savannah rivers, all the Hotels, entrance fees and Lunch options are prearranged for you.
We also had a "special" wish granted in dropping us off on the way back to Nairobi with all our luggage near Naivasha. Communication before our trip was flawless and really helped us to get the most out of our vacation.
Only thing Axis should review in their process: Tripadvisor has a field for Hotel-pickup-time that let us choose 7:30 (which would have been to late anyway considering the 8:00 start at the Headquarters that we couldnt know of). At midnight before, the driver told us he would arrive at 7:00, making it impossible for us to take our hotel breakfast or arrange a breakfast bag or something. So probably review the options given in this field or communicate changes from that plan at least half a day in advance.
Thank you for the fun time and all the memories!

Khalifa was extremely knowledgeable and always took good care of us!
I requested a quote for a 4 day/3night safari and Tabitha was very quick to respond and send me over all the different tour options. She helped me decide which one was the best for my budget and was always available to answer any questions I might have.
Fast forward to the start of the safari tour, Tabitha communicated to me that Evan would be picking me up from my hotel. Evan arrived promptly at 7am and drove me to Axis Africa Safari Office. Once there I paid the remaining balance of my tour and was assigned Khifa as my tour guide. The tour commenced and Khalifa pointed out things that we should know during our 5 hour ride to Masai Mara. Once in Masai Mara, Khalifa was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and knew exactly where to look in order for us to see the big 5. On the first game drive we were able to see 4/5 of the big five. Khalifa got as close as he could to the animals and always made sure that we had the best view for any pictures or videos. He even gave us information about the different birds that we encountered during the game drives. Khalifa was the best tour guide that I could’ve asked for and I was so glad to learn from his knowledge.
I was assigned to the Wild Nest Camp and it was a very pleasant experience. They were very accommodating and the food was delicious. I slept comfortably every night and they always made sure that we were well taken care of.
Overall my safari tour experience with Axis Africa was amazing! Tabitha and Khalifa made it a very smooth and pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend them for anyone planning a safari tour!

Excellent safari experience with Axis Africa
I had a wonderful experience with Axis Africa Safari and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a Kenya safari. From start to finish, everything was well organized and enjoyable.
A special mention goes to our safari driver, Raymond, who was excellent throughout the trip. He was professional, friendly, accommodating, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. His knowledge of the national parks and wildlife was impressive, and he knew the best places to go for great sightings.

Very knowledgeable, kind and personable.
Our Safari adventure with Ken Ngamia was spectacular. We got to see the Big 5 and so many different animal experiences. Every question asked was met with a great description and we were taken care of very well over the couple days.
