Trip of a lifetime
Had such a wonderful experience with our guide Jack. Very pleasant and knowledgeable. He worked very hard to ensure we were comfortable and to see every animal we dreamed of encountering and then some. The vehicle was large and comfortable. Driving in Kenya is hectic at best but I felt as comfortable as I feel I possibly could with Jack driving. Everyone drives crazy aggressive so it’s just something you need to be ready for. I would highly recommend using Axis if you are considering. Lennox also showed great responsiveness which was greatly appreciated. One night we left an iPhone in the truck and Lennox helped us track down Jack who brought it all the way back to our hotel.
I can’t imagine how our trip could have gone any smoother with Axis.
Thanks guys!!!

AMAZING
WOW. Where do I even start?! I almost don’t have the words to adequately describe how truly amazing our trip with Axis Safaris was. But I’m sure going to try because 1) We had the absolute trip of a lifetime and we can’t thank Axis enough! And 2) I want to encourage others to make their travel plans happen!
1. First of all, Lennox was wonderful from start to finish. Every detail of our trip was perfectly organized, and communication was fast. We were also celebrating my husband’s birthday while on our trip and Lennox made sure to organize extra details to make his day even more special and memorable.
International travel is stressful enough, but then you add COVID headaches and it’s even more so. But Axis made everything so easy and comfortable for us, alleviated all of our travel concerns, and made sure we had a safe and beautiful adventure!
2. Now for Jack. Our AMAZING safari guide!!! Holy cow Jack was incredible. Not only did he come with a wealth of knowledge about plants and animals (in 4 languages!!), but he grew up in the Masai community and had so much to share with us about the culture and neighboring areas. He was incredibly kind, patient, and easy going, and went the extra mile (literally and figuratively) to make sure we had an amazing, action packaged trip.
We not only saw the Big 5 multiple times (sometimes, all on the same day!), but my husband and I also started making “little 5” lists of other animals we wanted to see, and as soon as we’d make them, Jack would check them off!! We were often the first or only safari truck near animal sightings, and at the end of the day when we would chat with other people at the lodge, they were often surprised and jealous of our sightings. Other guides (and park rangers) clearly knew and respected Jack and were often asking him for insight. Jack let us take the time we wanted with each animal, answered all our questions, and felt like traveling with a friend.
Overall, we had an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime trip and can’t recommend Axis or Jack enough. Book now. You won’t regret it!!!

Outstanding, friendly & Tailor made, yet affordable adventure
I would absolutely and highly recommend Axis Safari to everyone, and I honestly can't thank them enough for the wonderful time my family had in Kenya.
Lennox was a professional and very friendly. He answered all my questions and helped us decide on a trip itinerary that suits my family needs. He would answer my whatsapp messages on time, despite the time difference. Without his help and guidance, I wouldn't have been able to organise this trip by my self. Even though the trip was on a low budget, I was given options to upgrade and choose the hotels, which made the trip a 'tailor made' happy adventure.
We went to Masai Mara and Naivasha (the lake and Hell's Gate). and everything was well organised.
Our wonderful guide, Mr Joshua, was an encyclopedia. He was very knowledgeable and knew very interesting facts about almost everything. He was able to answer all our questions, and he managed to get us very close to a pride of lions eating a fresh kill, which was the highlight of our game drive. Joshua was very kind with my kids and was always listening to their questions and trying his best to meet their needs. We were very impressed!
The visit to the Masai Village was a memorable cultural experience, which we will never forget!
The scenery and the walk (more of a hiking, really) was an amazing family day trip at Hell's gate. The boat trip in Naivasha lake was a welcoming change after spending the previous days in the game drive. It was fascinated to see the hippos up close.
Top Marks All Around!
I highly recommend this tour company, for anyone who wants to have a dream holiday in Kenya :)

Exceptional African Experience
Axis is the best tour company to go with when doing an African safari. Excellent communication with Lenox when booking the trip. Always so fast when replying to my many questions.
We had a very friendly and knowledgeable guide in Khalifa. He was amazing. His knowledge of the Masai Mara was incredible. He managed to get us as close as possible to lots of animals. We also managed to see the big five. Khalifa arranged everything for us throughout the entire trip including our PCR to leave Kenya. We were very impressed with him.
Our 5 days in Africa was brilliant. This trip is great value for money and you should definitely book with Lennox and axis for a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend.

Professional and trustworthy.
Our guide Albert was really professional and trustworthy. Morning he was always on time and seemed to know what he was doing all the time. We didn't have the need to do anything but relax and wonder what Albert had in mind next. He took excellent care of us with good customer care attitude. Hope the company values his expertise as much as we did. Out tour was good value for money.

Incredibly professional and efficient
Firstly we wanted a memorable safari to celebrate my husband's birthday. In the end , it was more than just memorable, it exceeded our expectations!
Lennox was a consummate professional, answering our many questions (and we had lots) with speed, knowledge and patience. We were so impressed!
He gave useful advice and was always pleasant in communication. We did Masai Mara,Nakuru,Naivasha and Amboseli and have now fallen in love with luxury tents:).
The accommodation and schedule were perfect.
Khalifa was a great guide, knowledgeable, fun, entertaining and we enjoyed our week with him. GBT forever! It is certain that we will we use Axis when we next take a trip to Kenya, but we will also highly recommend them to all friends and family.

Absolutely outstanding and attentive to our every need
I would absolutely recommend our safari to everyone and truly cannot say enough good things about our experience. Our tour guide Khalifa was warm and hospitable and made sure we were happy on every step of our trip. He made us feel at home and was nearly a celebrity every place he went. He was so well acquainted with the landscape we saw all of the Big Five and Ugly Five as well as found animals the first of any guide so we would have a private view. We had an amazing time and will hopefully be back soon! GBT forever!
All of the lodges were top quality and the staff was incredibly professional and attentive in every single aspect. Beautiful landscapes and historic architecture at every stop. You’d be foolish to miss out on this experience!

Best safari ever !!!!
When we were looking for a safari on internet, we were looking for a low-cost safari and we came across axis. And the result? Incredible! The quality/price is unbeatable,
Our guide Isaac brings you close to the animals, thanks to him we could see the big five and realized one of our dreams. Isaac adapts to your needs and desires, he is very smiling and helpful.
The car is very comfortable and adapted for this kind of excursions. The organization of the safari is perfect.
To all the people who hesitate, choose Axis Safaris, you will not be disappointed.
Thanks again to Isaac and Lennox for the organization.

Wonderful, Isaac the best guide for this tour !
It was a very nice experience. We did another safari in south africa but they didn’t have same general culture than Isaac (our guide) this personne take car about you and he knows many things about his beautiful country. Safari is very complete, accomodations are well. For the Quality/Price I think Axis is the best. Thank you !
