We booked our 3 day 2 nights safari with Axis for end of July. Having had no experience and recommendations it was hard to pick the right agency to work with, so I relied heavily on the reviews of other travelers.
We were not disappointed. Right from the beginning Lennox was highly communicative and extremely helpful in helping pick the right package for our group of 5. Till the morning of our ...

We had picked the Jambo Mara Lodge as our accommodation option and it was stunning. The rooms are spacious and well equipped and waking up to an Unobstructed view of Masai Mara was precious. As a special treat on the day of our check out .. a family of Giraffes came close to our room to wish us Adieu.. it is hard to explain that experience. The staff at the lodge was so helpful and kind and the food delicious for every meal.
But the biggest shout out goes to Ronnie our guide through the entire journey and Safari. Always smiling and willing to go the extra mile, Ronnie ensured our Safari experience was epic. He had a keen eye and ear on the ongoings at the park and we were able to see all the big hits .. including a rare sighting of a Leopard.. all the big cats .. cheetah and lions .. and most importantly drove out Of the way to allow us to experience the Great Migration in its full glory. He was able to fulfill all our wishes and he truly tried to get us to see the Rhino ( only animal we missed). He knew the park in and out and we got to comfortably enjoy the glory of Masai Mara.
The last day we got to see a Masai Village.. this one was a decent experience and only feedback would be to let the guests know about the entry fees in advance. Not a big deal, but good to be able to plan for. At the village be prepared to be accosted for multiple purchases.. but it’s going straight to the tribe which seems worth it.
Overall .. if you are headed to Masai Mara .. highly recommend partnering with Axis Safari for your adventures

As Safari means to travel, so Julius and Khalifa showed us how it’s done in Kenya. Like travelling with a very good friend we spent 5 days with animal spotting, language lessons, learning Kenyan culture and much more. It was truly a journey into not only the Kenyan wildlife but into Kenya and it’s people.
We were ten people from 15 to 74 years of age and we all had a FANTASTIC trip. Everything exceeded our expectations. Julius and Khalifa were absolutely fantastic at finding the animals, and we saw all animals more or less just next to us. They both know everything about the animals and the nature. We stayed in luxury lodges and luxury tented camps, and we only wished that we have had more days to ... Read moreenjoy the accommodation.

2 person private lux 5 day safari Masai Mara, Naivasha & Nakuru. Our expectations were pretty high and Axis delivered. They held up their end by booking the exact accommodations we requested and followed the itinerary with no shortcuts. Our guide Abdul was awesome and he made the experience. One of the best trips.
Axis did a great job. I was traveling alone (single woman) and was a bit worried, but they handled everything efficiently and professionally. I had asked to be put in a group that had other women and they did that. They arranged pick up and drop to my place of stay, which was well coordinated.
The Masai Mara Safari was out of this world and special shout out to James - our guide. He was wonder ... Read moreful and made sure we saw ALL the animals possible. He also took good care of us and his driving skills are beyond impressive.
We had a very cool guide called Kevin who took care of us in Masai Mara. The visit to the Masai Village was the highlight together with watching the incredible animals. Watching the lions, giraffes, zebras and elephants in their natural habitat was a surrealistic feeling. I'm very happy with Axis and as reviews can tell a very reliable company that put your satisfaction at first.
