Great safari
We did an eight day safari with Axis Africa covering Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. Overall our experience with Axis was great - Tabitha was very responsive from my first enquiry and was great to deal with while we tried to narrow down exactly what safari to go for. Our guide Ben was excellent - very chilled, really personable, amazing at spotting animals and finding the best place to ... Read morepark so we could get great pictures. Everything ran very smoothly throughout our safari and Ben was happy to make stops along the way if we needed to. I'd compared a few different companies and Axis came out the cheapest for a private safari - some of our accommodation wasn't amazing but I guess that's reflected in the price. Would highly recommend!
Did 2 Safaris: 4 days group safari followed by 4 days of private safari
I came across Axis because of the positive reviews I found online.
After 8 days of safari together with my partner (4 days of group safari, plus 4 days of private safari), I can only confirm these positive reviews.
Everything was excellent organized. Starting with the individual planning of the two safari tours, the information and transparency of the prices, the pickup of the drivers to the Ax ... Read moreis office before the start, as well as the food places while being on the road (special places were selected by several safari companies to ensure good food at hygienic places for safari tourists).
The overall communication with Peter from the sales team was very responsive. Usually I am quite skeptic when it comes to making upfront down payments to other countries. However, due to the excellent communication, at no time was I concerned that it could be any sort of fraud.
The two drivers Khalifa and Mohamed did a great job of driving between the parks, spotting the wildlife, trying to get the best spots for taking photos and explaining whatever there is to know.
Sufficient number of brakes were made and the cars were cleaned from the inside and outside at the end of every day.
I can highly recommend going on Safari with Axis and would for sure choose this company again.
Very Proactive, Efficient Safari Organizers. Esp. for private safaris like ours,great in customizing
Excellent itinerary was customized fitting our asks - 9 days covering Amboseli, Naivasha, Ol Pejeta, Nakuru & Masai Mara.
The stays were tailored to our quoted budgets - high-end lodges at Masai Mara, Amboseli & Ol Pejeta; more pocket friendly options at Naivasha & Nakuru.
All this was stitched up with their Sales Team (our handler was Tabitha Mwangi) over multiple messages & mails from India an ... Read mored throughout we evidenced great communication + willingness to modify & accomodate - a truly Customer-First attitude!
The Safari itself was just a dream come true. Apart from a good & very well maintained Land- Cruiser, & a well chalked out itinerary.
Full credit to Collins Sampelle, our Safari Guide - who with 29 years experience, excellent knowledge and an innate understanding of how to get the best experience out of any situation in a game drive; ticked off all boxes and more in terms of all that we had wished to experience & see, including the migration at Masai Mara... The Big 5 were of course a very basic ask quickly completed - but he went on to show us a lot more well beyond our expectations - cheetah or crocodiles or eagles swooping down for a catch, or lions with a kill, or a leopard trapped on a tree by a lion below, or elephants, rhinos & hippos tending to their young; or jackals, hyenas and vultures fighting over left- overs of a kill; or indeed so many other experiences...And he not just got us to see & experience them, he also gave us great insights & knowledge on what was happening & why....his knowledge of the animal kingdom is really vast & diverse! WE GIVE COLLINS A 5 ON 5 RATING JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T GIVE MORE THAN 5!! Else, he is surely a beyond 5* Guide!
Amazing 9 Day Safari Experience with Axis Africa

Kenya is incredible 🌿
Exceptional safari experience, made unforgettable by our knowledgeable guide, Kelvin Ngamiya.
We had an absolutely wonderful safari experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. From the planning and communication to the actual game drives, everything was handled professionally and reliably.
A very special mention goes to our guide, Kelvin Ngamiya, who made our safari truly memorable. He is extremely knowledgeable, punctual, patient and attentive to every request. What impressed us ... Read moremost was his experience and tactical approach during game drives—he knew where to search, where to wait patiently and when it was time to move to another location.
Thanks to his efforts, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, including both black and white rhinos. Our sightings were incredible: around 22 lions, 2 leopards, a cheetah with a kill, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, and many other animals.
The highlights went even beyond the Big Five. We witnessed wildebeest and zebras crossing the Mara River, as well as the dramatic sight of crocodiles catching a zebra and a wildebeest during the crossing. These were truly once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Kelvin also provided excellent information throughout the safari about the animals, their behaviour and the ecosystem. This added another dimension to the experience—we weren’t simply seeing wildlife; we were learning and understanding what was happening around us.
The overall service from Axis was dependable, well organized and good value for the experience we received. Our requests were taken seriously, timings were maintained, and we always felt that the team was making an effort to give us the best possible experience.
We came to Kenya with high expectations for the Masai Mara, and Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, together with Kelvin Ngamiya, made the experience even better than we had imagined. We leave Kenya with some extraordinary memories and photographs that we will treasure for years.
Highly recommended, and a special thank you to Kelvin Ngamiya for making our safari such an unforgettable experience.
