Fantastic safari that clearly supported the local community, and didn’t feel budget at all!
Booking with axis safari was so smooth, as I was in continuous contact with Lennox via email prior to the trip. You can pay in USD cash when you arrive, which we did, and only gave a small deposit up front.
Axis picked us up on time from our hotel in Nairobi and dropped us back there at the end of the 5-day trip, which was ideal as we were exhausted!
Our tour guide was Richard, and he was incredible. Incredibly knowledgable and we had seen the big 5 by day 2! He had a good knowledge of all animals/birds/trees and we became good friends! He took loads of photos for us throughout.
The accommodation varied from camping in the Maasai village (posh camping with 4-poster beds) to budget hotels with swimming pools and nice restaurants. It felt great to be supporting the locals throughout the trip, and I really felt that the money we paid was going to people that needed it most.
Value for money was excellent, with all meals included (definitely got enough food!). Whilst there is lots of travelling, this is a fantastic way to see rural Kenya.
We had a fantastic time and will definitely be recommending to both family and friends!

A once in a lifetime experience
From start to finish my experience with Axis Safari has been excellent! Everything was perfectly organized, yet there was always time for spontaneity. Our driver Kalifa new the park incredibly well and got us to see more wild animals then we could have ever wished for. I did and I will recommend Axis Safari anytime!
The best experience in Kenya
We were picked up from our accommodation and dropped back as requested post the safari. The accommodation provided was very comfortable. Food was also good. Our guide Moses was very knowledgeable and tried genuinely for us to spot the big fives. We ended up spotting 4 of the big fives. All in all it was an amazing experience and I hope to come back to spot the rhino.

The perfect Safari in Masai Mara
This safari was above our expectations, we look for a good budget safari but Axis make it feel like a luxury one.
Everything was amazing, since the booking, Lennox was very helpful and gave us all the information necessary and made all the arrangements.
Our guide Jimmy, is a rockstar. as for him in your Safari.
He is so friendly and he took care of us since the begging, he care a lot every detail and his explanations were very informative. We had an amazing game drive and we saw a lot of animals. His skills on the while are great and he makes us feel like a big family.
At the lodge the food was SO GOOD, we expect something ok but the chef is a master. Madame Helen was so welcoming and she always was aware of our comfort.
The prices is the best between cost effective, the staff is great and the experience is unbelievable.

The most beautiful time
We had an amazing 4 days trip to Masai Mara and lake Nakuru. Our driver, Kikitu, was the funniest guy ever and made Kenya feel like home. He made us all feel very welcomed and showed us every animal and place there was to see. He really made us complete strangers feel like a big happy family. Thank you for choosing Kikitu for our tour guide he was fabulous!
Attentive and flexible organization, unforgettable experience
We had a wonderful experience hiking Mount Kenya in the best conditions possible. Jimmy our guide made all the good choices and we could be fully confident in him. The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable. An unforgettable time.

No matter how many times I have to choose or recommend - my choice will always be Axis Africa!!!
This is not my first trip and safari with Axis Africa. When I first chose this company I was full of fears and doubts. Before choosing a company for me and my group of friends, I read a lot and exchanged a lot of emails with various safari companies in Kenya. Lennox was the only one who immediately won my heart with his accuracy and flexibility in correspondence. He speaks at every point. He senses your desires and worries and does everything possible to clear all fears and doubts. I do not regret that I chose this company and no matter how many times I have to choose or recommend to someone a reliable partner in Kenya, I will choose Lenox again and again! Thank you, Lenox, for your big heart and high class of professionalism!
On my first trip, my great discovery was the driver-guide Kikitu. Kikitu is an interesting mixture of the blood of two tribes - Maasai and Kikuyu! This helps him to have a deep connection and knowledge of the living life and traditions of the two tribes. He also knows a lot about wildlife, wildlife habits and is happy to share his knowledge with tourists. Kikitu is very emotional and full of positive energy that infects everyone.
When we visited this year, our group was larger than one jeep, so we had to use two jeeps with two driver guides. Jack is also a very warm-hearted and ever-smiling guide full of positive energy. Thanks to Kikitu and Jack we had an unforgettable 5 day safari. They were always in the best place for visibility and photos. For all future tourists who will choose Axis Africa, I would recommend - trust your guides and be sure that they will make the best choice for you, they will protect you and give you the best, so you will stay really satisfied and happy with your discovery of living life and the best photos!
Not only that - on this trip I was afraid about our safety from infections and especially from the crown virus. This fear of mine disappeared when I saw the high hygiene in which our accommodation was maintained, as well as the restaurants and kitchens where we ate. My congratulations on that!
Thank you Lenox, Kikitu, Jack for your professionalism and your big, warm African hearts!
