Rodger is an amazing tour guide,he gave his best to show us all the animals, and we did see them all
Tour planning was really good and communication was also good but best thing about this was our tour guide Rodger, he is amazing he made sure we see all the big fives and all the other animals, thankyou!
Nelson (Simba) and Lucy absolutely fantastic!
Our safari with Axis was nothing short of unforgettable, and we owe it all to the incredible team who made it possible.
From the very start, Lucy at head office went above and beyond to help us plan what truly became the trip of a lifetime. She was endlessly patient, kind, and accommodating, answering every one of our questions and helping us navigate multiple changes to our plans with such gra ... Read morece. Thanks to her support, we felt completely at ease and confident that everything would run smoothly – and it absolutely did.
And then there was Nelson (Simba), our guide – the heart and soul of our safari experience. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Not only was he exceptionally knowledgeable about the wildlife and environment, but he was also a joy to spend time with – warm, engaging, and full of stories that brought the bush to life. His talent for spotting animals that no one else could see was nothing short of magical. We nicknamed him “Eagle Eye Simba”, and it was thanks to him that we had some of the most extraordinary encounters, with ALL the big 5, we’ll never forget!
Together, Lucy and Simba made our safari extraordinary. Their passion, expertise, and genuine care turned our journey into something far beyond just a holiday – it was an experience we will carry with us forever.
We cannot recommend Axis highly enough. If you’re dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime safari, this is the team you want by your side.
A memory of a lifetime
Axis Africa were all we could hope for and more. We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and 2 weeks before flying out a different tour operator cancelled on us, thats when Axis Safari stepped in and saved the day.
We gave them the itinery of our previous safari that was similar to ours and they made sure we got all the same accomodation and all our extra experiences that we had prev ... Read moreiously booked.
Then it came to the actual safari after our arrival in Kenya and meeting for the first time who would affectionately be called by our group, Special K, but for review purposes so he gets all the credit he deserves we'll call him his real name of Kevin!
It was a long drive to the Masai Mara, but after a brief stop at the accomodation we got out on our first game drive. Kevin seemed to know everyone and have all the connections because on that first game drive we managed to see 3 of the big 5, lions, elephants and sadly an unfortunate buffalo caught by the lions we saw! The other game drives didnt disappoint as we ticked off the rest of the big 5 and so much more including a cheetah, Kevin went the extra mile at every point, making sure we got the best view of the animals, if we needed a bit of extra time for a photo stop, he gave us all the time we needed and never made us feel rushed at any point so we could fully take in and enjoy the experience.
With this atmosphere Kevin created it helped us to really bond as a group and we really had an amazing time not only with experiencing our first ever safari, but the people we had the priviledge of sharing the journey with.
With the added experiences the Masai Village was really great as we got to learn about the culture of the Masai people. The balloon safari was also an incredible experience, we were able to take in the vastness of the Masai Mara and it was amazing to see the animals from above roaming and running across the land. It really enhanced the experience of the full safari.
The Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru were different in the landscape but both in their own way beautiful places to visit. From the vastness of the Masai Mara, to the rich green savannah woodland of Lake Nakuru it was great to in person experience these areas of Kenya.
Thank you to Axis Safaris and in particular to Kevin. Kevin met and exceeded expectations of what we had hoped for from this trip, his kindness, his knowledge and passion for his work was infectious and truly made this a memory of a lifetime.
EXPERIENCE 6 STARS
Collins was our guide. He speaks some Spanish. He provided excellent driving, and his hospitality couldn't have been better. With him, we saw all the big cats you can see in the Masai Mara, and you couldn't get any closer. It was amazing.

Excellent 3 day safari
The company was brilliant with the initial communication when booking the tour and were accommodating in changing the dates of our safari last minute due to flight issues. Tabitha was excellent in giving us all the information we needed and getting it set up for us, as well as being understanding when we had to change our plans.
The safari itself was an unbelievable experience, and exceptional ... Read morevalue for money. We did the 3 day tour and the camp we stayed at was more than suitable with comfortable beds and tasty food. Our guide Kevin couldn’t have been better. He was polite and very knowledgeable on the Masai Mara and would go above and beyond in making the tour a special experience for all involved. He knew the best spots and allowed us to get up close with the animals, even more than other jeeps due to his connections. We couldn’t recommend Kevin enough!
Only slight improvement on our experience would be the Masai village tour, which was extremely interesting but towards the end felt like we were just there to be pressured to buy souvenirs from them which were quite over priced.
Absolutely phenomal and amazing, the most fun I’ve ever had
Wow, what an unforgettable 3-day safari! From the moment I booked, the communication was incredible—they answered every question so quickly and made everything super easy.

Our guide, Peter Kapino, was the absolute best. He knew exactly how to get us close to the animals while always keeping us safe. Thanks to him, we saw ALL of the Big 5 (yes, all of them!) plus so many more amazing animals.
This trip completely exceeded my expectations and gave me memories I’ll never forget. If you’re thinking about going—do it! You won’t regret it.
