A highly efficient and customer‑oriented travel company, I will suggest my friend to book their trip.
We visited Masai Mara and Amboseli for a 6-day safari. It was an incredible experience overall, especially Masai Mara. Tony our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and managed to show us every single animal we wanted to see. He intentionally used routes that were not crowded with other safari jeeps that made the experience feel very personalized. He could spot the animals (including all five of ...

We got amazing pictures of lions, cheetahs, giraffes, etc. with multiple instances of predators with their kills and playing with their cubs.
Tony made our three-day safari absolutely unforgettable. We had an open-air jeep, which gave us amazing unobstructed views for every game drive, and Tony's knowledge of the area was next-level. He tracked rhino footprints to find one for us, which really showed his skill and dedication.
We saw all of the Big Five up close: lions (including multiple eating and cubs!!), elephants, buffalo, zebra, ... Read more wildebeest, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, vultures, hyenas — honestly it felt like we saw every animal Kenya has to offer. Tony was incredibly fast at spotting wildlife and always seemed to know exactly where to go and when.
Beyond his expertise, Tony was also just genuinely fun to be around, great sense of humor and made the whole experience feel personal, not like a routine tour. He taught us a lot about his culture as well. Can't recommend him highly enough for anyone planning a safari.
I joined a 5 day safari with Khalifa as the guide. I had no issues being a single female traveller.
Our day in Masai Mara was an absolute hilite. Khalifa (Captain) knew the park intimately. He located 4 of the Big Five on that day and we enjoyed special sightings, sometimes being the only vehicle present.
He is a very kind man and was generous with his knowledge and help. Having been a gui ... Read morede for over 20 years his experience shone through and we benefited.
A visit to a Masai village was very genuine and showed us a different perspective on life.
Accommodation was good and the food also fresh and plentiful.
There was a lot of road travel involved and perhaps on the last 2 days we could have added something extra. However, saying that, our long days went very quickly.
The office staff (Tabitha in particular) was very pleasant to deal with.
I would definitely recommend Axis Africa Safaris and Khalifa, in particular, if you choose to visit Kenya.
One the better experience in the live, we saw all animals of the savannah. The comunication was perfect, the service so nice and confortable; in the night we sleeping in calm into natura. The guide was the best, so nice, so amazing. I recomended all my friends and i hope to came back.
It was very professional in any moment and our driver-guide Pilipili helped us always to enjoy and see everything possible. I would repeat and recommend this safari with pleasure.
I have been liaising with Lucy from Axis travel for close to year to plan our once in a lifetime safari trip as a family of four. I was nervous due to our children being 7 and 5 with the youngest having special needs however Axis very quickly put my mind to rest. They worked with me to ensure every aspect of the trip would work for the children and for our budget. They allocated a very experienced ... Read more game driver Peter Ndungu who picked us up from Nairobi drove us to Masai Mara and we had an amazing experience overall. We saw so many amazing animals and the game drive worked really well for the children. Axis also organised our hot air balloon ride and trip to naivasha lake and hellsgate national park. The whole experience was really pleasant.
An unforgettable safari, full of magic and memories!
It was a very amazing experience. Thank you so much to our guide Dickson, who with his perfect knowledge of the park, he bring us to see all the animals!
Very recommended
