Went well beyond expectations, Axis Safari will make your trip to Kenya memorable
5/5

Lennox did a great job organizing all the details from the beginning and then Alfred, Richard, and Stanley took over to make the 4 day safari an experience I'll remember the rest of my life. Alfred and Richard were fantastic in getting us around the Masai Mara. They managed our expectations in what we could see and how difficult some of the Big Five can be too spot. We did see the Big Five and I attribute that success in large part due to their communication with other drivers in locating the hard to find Black Rhino and Leopard.

Aside from the actual safari itself the accommodations were excellent along with the food and water provisions. My expectations were already decently high going into this trip and Axis Safari went far beyond what I had expected or wanted. Do yourself a favor and reach out to plan an amazing trip.

Amazing Safari Experience
5/5

Chose Axis Africa Safaris on a recommendation from a few friends and could not have been happier with the outcome.

On the first day (of 3) my friends and I were picked up promptly from our hotel and driven to the meet up spot where we found the rest of our safari group and began the drive to Masai Mara. Our driver Kikitu was a WONDERFUL and knowledgeable guide who kept us in stitches the whole trip and was committed to showing us AS many animals as possible. He knew the roads and Mara incredibly well and often took us to areas that had few other safari vehicles but tons of animals.

The accommodation was definitely basic (comfortable twin beds on a raised and tented platform and a few hours of electricity a day) but since you're out in the Mara all day you don't need much more. However, there are a few nicer camps in the surrounding area that I'm sure you can book for a little extra money if you request them.

Definitely would recommend this trip (and especially Kikitu) to anyone looking for a recommendation. Thank you Axis Africa Safaris!

The best tour in Kenia.
This tour will keep its time tight.
And the guides are very good.
The last day was a flight at 7 o'clock, but I am very grateful for the tight adjustment.
You can watch the hunt on the safari and keep the sights steady.
And it is reasonable.

このツアーは本当に良いです。
最終日フライトでしたが、きっちりと調整しくれる信頼できるツアーです。

A fantastic experience!
5/5

Axis were a fantastic company to have arranging our trip to Kenya. Throughout our planning of the trip, Lennox was happy and quick to respond to all emails. The day of our tour, Joshua our guide was punctual picking us up and took us to the office to pay for the safari and then we started our 5 day adventure! Everywhere we went to had a different beautiful landscape and different animals to see, Joshua was a fantastic guide who was friendly and knowledgeable and answered all our questions, no matter how ridiculous! The accommodation at the Masai Mara was really lovely, felt very authentic to the area! As the parks are so far away from eachother, you do spend a lot of time in the van but it is comfortable and never got too hot, and Joshua was a fantastic driver and it was a great way to see more of Kenya. A fantastic trip that we will remember for a long time, thank you Lennox, Joshua and everyone else at Axis!

Excellent experience at a reasonable price
5/5

I was in Kenya for business and found out last minute about some time off which I wanted to use for a safari. I contacted a few companies only two nights before my time off and Axis reached out quickly with contact information which allowed me to schedule and finalize my booking only hours after inquiring, even with my reservation starting the next day. In addition, they accommodated an alternative pick up location for me to avoid redundant travel.

James was an excellent driver and safari guide who was very accommodating and skilled. We saw incredible landscapes and animals. His warm personality and patience made it an even better experience.

The accommodations were more than adequate, especially given the reasonable price, and the local food was quite enjoyable.

Would definitely recommend!

A funny game drive in Masai Mara!!
5/5

Last January, my family and I had the 3-day, 2-night Masai Mara tour. Everything happened as it was publicized! Mr. Lennox was extremely attentive in whatsapp, the same as all drivers. Our guide, Alex, was generous in trying to show us all the animals and tell us about their habitat and customs. Two walks were included: to the Masai Mara village with one of its members, and along the banks of the Masai river with a park ranger. My son greatly enjoyed the experience of sharing moments with the Masai. The tent was very comfortable and quiet to sleep. The food provided was good. The trip from Nairobi to the Masai Mara park was nice, but you have to prepare yourself for a totally funny bumpy stretch!!
We really enjoy our trip and game drive in Masai Mara park with Axis AE & S!!

A priceworthy budget safari in Masai Mara with an really good guide and service.
5/5

I always got a quick respons on my emails and have always been treated good. Evans was a really good and friendly guide. He was found of making it a great experiance and that everyone was happy. It also was good cars and service.

I really enyojed my safari experiance. Evans was able to show me the big five and many other amazing animals during the safari. I went on the tour as an alone woman and Evans always made me feel safe.

I liked it in Masai Mara so much. Axis extended my stay for one more day in last minutes without any hesitation or problem.

I would definitly recommend this operator.

Perfect 3 day safari in Masai Mara with James. Saw African nature in its beauty. Can recommend it!
5/5

The whole thing was basically so effortless for the customer. Just let the guys now when you wanna go and they will take care of the rest. Communication during booking with WhatsApp is perfect. You can ask questions and get the answers basically right away. Lennox was patient and helpful thru the process.
James was the "man" with all the right spots. We got all the possible animals in within 2 first days of the safari. So as a bonus we visited Masai Village and did the "nature" walk without extra cost.
