Good tour of central and southern Kenya. Splurge for nicer lodges and you will not be disappointed!
I did a 7 day joining tour with Axis Africa and Lennox was great with communicating from the beginning to end. I was able to tailor my safari with nicer lodges and was so glad I did. The Mara Sopa Lodge was amazing with attentive staff! Lake Nakuru Lodge was right inside the national park and was in a beautiful setting, also with great staff. Lake Naivasha Sopa was phenomenal with hippos and giraf ... Read morefes grazing on your back lawn at night! This place is the closest you'll get to Giraffe Manor without spending thousands! In Amboseli, I stayed at Kibo Safari Camp, which is another luxury tented camp and I cannot say praise it enough--the setting, the food, the staff, and the rooms! Fantastic!
John was our driver/guide and incredibly nice, but quiet. We saw the Big 5 and John was patient with our birdwatching. My one suggestion would be a little more communication from John about what each day will hold. Nowhere in my itinerary did it mention Hells Gate National Park/hike into the gorge, so the day we did this I was unprepared. Fortunately, luggage was in the back of the van and I was able to change into proper footwear and the hike was enjoyable and worth it (if you have a big camera, leave it behind on the hike). On the plus side, I am a teacher and John knew this and arranged a visit to a village school in the Masai region and while short, it was a highlight. The Lake Naivasha boat trip was not included with everyone's safari, but was in mine, and it was great. Add it, as it offers a different perspective of the hippos, birdlife, and local fishing community.
If I go back to Kenya, I would definitely recommend Axis Africa. If I could do it over, I would upgrade to a land cruiser or something similar if offered. Not sure if Axis Africa offers that option, but it definitely would've been worth it as the vans are tight when full and we had 7 people 3/4 of the time, not counting the driver.

Very good .Visited Masai Mara in the first week of July. The arrangements from Airport pickup to Airport drop was perfect. Mr.Eric was Available on what's app always. He was responding for all the queries and co ordinated well. The guide and driver was very supportive and coordinating.
We loved our tour guides and our safaris.
All was fabulous. Lennox was responsive to all my questions. Our guides, Albert and Richard, were friendly and informative. Our accommodations were way better than expected. We loved it all.
Everything was beyond our expectations.
Richard and Albert were informative and communicative. They provided an experience that was far beyond our expectations. Working and coordinating with Lennox was a breeze. Axis took the stress of travel out of our hands.

Great safari at a great price
We had a great experience with this company. We booked on the night before and they managed to pick us up on the way and not in Nairobi so they were super accommodating.
Safari was great and our guide Robert was very knowledgable. The rooms were nice with a double bed and mosquito net which an en-suite attached which was way more that I expected for the cheap prices.
The food was pretty ba ... Read moresic and served in a mini dinner hall which wasn’t luxurious but for the price we paid was more than reasonable!
Would recommend for anyone trying to do a cheapish safari!
An incredible experience that was great value for money
It was an amazing experience and we could not believe the value for money. We will recommend this trip to all our friends in Dubai. Richard and Albert were absolutely fantastic and were always punctual, informative and helpful ! I really cannot thank you and your staff enough. Everything was included in the price - accommodation, all meals (which were lovely), trips, entrance fees etc. The safari ...

One in a life time experience!
Highly recommended Safari! It was an amazing experience, one in a life time! Kikitu, our guide, was really animated and answered all of our questions. Everyone in the area loves Kikitu. The Masai is beautiful and well preserved, wildlife is completely respected. We spotted all the animals. It was super fun.
Top trip ever. Alex was very eager to find all the animals for us. We've seen big five and much more
It exceeded all my expectations. I've seen so many animals, even the jaguar and white rinos. The accommodations are nice and comfortable. Alex was the best animal tracker ever.
