Johny was excellent from the moment we met him until the end.
First, the communication with Axis was always top notch. We communicated with Lennox when planning and booking the safari. He always responded quickly to our questions. We had flight cancellations and Lennox was great with helping us shift dates and find our accommodations. He was always there to assist with everything.
We traveled from Nairobi to Naivasha to Nakuru before entering the Mara. ... Read moreJohny was an excellent driver and guide the entire trip. He was well respected among the other guides and in the Mara many guides were asking for his assistance.
We stayed at Lake Naivasha Simba lodge, Sarova Lion Hill, and finally Ashnil Luxury Camp in the Mara. All places were excellent. Great rooms and food.
Johny was able to guide us to the Big 5. It was evident he really cares about his job as a guide and has great respect for the animals and sanctuaries.
We are planning returning again in a few years to do another trip with Axis!
The greatest moment in my life
We took a 3 day/2 night tour.
The first day we saw very few animals, but the driver tried very hard to show us the animals.
On the second day, we saw a lot of animals thanks to the efforts of the driver. We also enjoyed our visit to the border.
On the third day, we were able to go hiking thanks to enough safaris on the second day. We were accompanied by a Maasai tribe member. When we were about ... Read more to leave, the driver asked us if we wanted to visit the Maasai, and when we said yes, he took us there even though it was unscheduled.
Overall it was a really good experience. It was beautiful enough to stay in tents. If I ever come to Kenya again, I will use your service.
Absolutely flexible and good service
It was a pleasant 3 days of safari. Everything went smooth. Highly recommend them. Thank you for ride and special thanks for Peter who was out guide.
Incredible experience!!!
Our driver and guide Ben was wonderful!!! He was very nice to us, answered all our questions, explained lots of interesting things, tried always to meet our expectations during the drive, and offer the best experience!
I really had a fantastic time and really want to thank Ben for it!!
Responsive, excellent attention to detail, flexible and accommodating, friendly
This was an unforgettable excellent experience! From the get go Lennox was very flexible and accommodating with our booking and answering the myriad of first-timer questions I had - not only for food restriction, but also with the needs of members of different ages in our group (children and elderly). He and his team went out of their way in organizing a birthday celebration for my wife in the mi ... Read moreddle of the trip, with almost no co-ordination required at our end.
Jimmy (our guide) was extremely flexible, seamlessly adapting the schedule and making sure we were well fed and had ample opportunity to view all kinds of wildlife (animals and birds) in the parks. He is an excellent driver, knowledgeable, and a master in positioning the vehicle such that we could almost touch the lions and elephant families at Maasai Mara and Amboseli.
Everything was perfectly co-ordinated, he had no complaints if we were late with our shopping - the schedule was automatically adjusted with a smile and a “it’s ok!!” Vegetarian food was always ensured (upon request at booking of course). Jimmy is extremely affable with and excellent network amongst his fellow tour guides - this meant excellent co-ordination between the guides to make sure no one, including us, missed an animal sighting. Each day, we were blown away by how much Jimmy got us to see (we counted 13 animal species and 8 bird species on our second day), how much knowledge he shared about their life span, how they survive, what they eat, where they are found, and looking up more details in his guide book when requested.
Your experience will be beyond your expectations! Axis is great value for money!! Strongly recommended!
Our tour operator Khalifa is the best. Friendly, knowledgeable, smart and very entertaining.
Maasai Mara safari was out of this world.Axis, the way to tour.
Amazingly Wonderful Experience with a wonderful guide/driver
This is my first safari experience & it’s indeed an exhilarating experience. What made it even more memorable is the awesome guide and excellent driver, Peter who is an expert in navigating his vehicle and also has a good eye to help us look out for the animals.

Amazing Tour!!!
I am very pleased that I chose Axis tour, not because they were very punctual and everything went smooth but also because our driver - James - was absolutely a great guy and we all made good friends with him. He was very friendly, calm, patient and informative. If I will ever come back, I'll for sure ask him to be my driver again. He knows all the spots like the back of his hand. We almost saw all ...

Awesome and Wowed
I was looking around for quotes for safari and the parks they visit but felt that Axis offered what I wanted. Lennox was super prompt in replies and all was well-planned for my 5D Mara-Lake Naivasha-Amboseli mixed camp and lodges with a land cruiser.
Our guide Peter is super experienced and knowledgeable. I kind of think there’s probably not much he didn’t know. Haha. His driving is superb ... Read morewith great manoeuvring skills and also always managed to help us find a good spot for photo taking. On top of that he helped us spot many animals along the way. Super friendly and approachable and one whom you can trust.
The places we stayed at were Lenchata Lodge Camp - its like glamping with bathroom at the back. Hot water is available. Jacinta was very hospitable and friendly. Food tasted good as well!
Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge-we love this place because the animals were free to roam around the area, they can be just right behind your backyard.
AA Lodge-in AA they have decent cottage rooms and buffets so we tried quite varied stays at different places.
We saw 4/5 of the big five but it doesn’t disappoint because the 7 of us in the group was just wowed by the whole experience.
I highly recommend Axis as your tour company and Peter as your guide. Throughout the whole safari experience we were all well taken care of and has numerous pictures that wowed our friends and family. Will come back again!
The driver, Kikitu,is a good tourist guide
It meet my expectations.
Though there is a flaw (the solar hot water system in my tent was found malfunction at one night) during this journey. But this not Axis Africa Safari's fault.
As a whole, I enjoy this journey so much.
