It was a really amazing experience for us overall. We were picked up promptly from the hotel we stayed in. And our driver, Evans was kind enough to take us shopping for some additional items we forgot to pack.
Once at the reserve, we were really lucky that we managed to see almost every animal in the Masai Mara. The game drives would have been more fun if our driver/guide would have given us m ...

The accommodation/food was decent. Bathrooms could have been cleaner. But for the price, it was a good deal. I would gladly recommend Axis Africa to anyone planning to visit Africa.
I was pleasantly surprised by the overall services. The food was good, the camping was safe and really above my expectations, the driver/guide spoke English perfectly and he was a very pleasant companion. He had a Radio and communicated with the other drivers in the area and whenever a rare animal was spotted somewhere he would race to that place to help us catch a glimpse. I really recommend the ...

It was a well plan tour with excellent accommodation, transport, friendly and helpful guide / Driver. Eric was very helpful in providing the best tour itinerary to suite the budget and the time we had in Kenya. All in all it was a memorable visit and would like to recommend him to anyone who plans to visit Kenya.

Out of this world. We got services beyond ourexpectations. Driver/guides knew what they were expecte
We started planning our trip to Kenya with Axis, way back in January 2016. We were specific about seeing the great migration and visiting Samburu and other parks. Axis, were patient and very accommodating with our demands. The itinerary, the accommodation and everything else in between were way beyond our expectation. We very much value the expertise that Axis brought to our safari.
The entire to ... Read moreur group unanimously agreed that Axis were instrumental in organising the best safari we've had in years. Thank You, Axis.
The traveling company did a great job of meeting out many request. We were able to take a five day tour in Kenya beginning with a two day tour of Nairobi. We spent time traveling the historical and cultural spaces around the city including the Ministry Heritage building, Giraffe park, Crocodile and Ostrich Park, City market area and American Embassy Memorial park. Then we traveled a grueling sic ... Read morek hours to Marsai Mara Game Reserve and stayed at the Mara Sopa Lodge. Great place though it was journey to get there. Place is really off the beaten path. Roads turned to dirt roads then turned to driving through woods. I am happy our driver/guide knew where we were going. We got there safely and back without any problems. At the Lodge we were treated to breakfast Lunch and Diner included in our stay package. Food and services were great. Daily we went into the Game Reserve to search for animals and we found them all. Cheetahs and Lions, Warthogs, Hyena, Giraffes, Elephants and others were all in arms length view at times. It was amazing. Leaving the lodge we opted to change our plans instead of an early morning safari we took an early trip away from the lodge to get back to the city in search of souvenirs. The drivers were accommodating we enjoyed the afternoon at the market.
I would recommend Axis Africa Safari to anyone coming to Kenya. This company sought to match -- if not beat -- other safari prices. They kept in touch constantly with me beforehand (I must have emailed them at least fifty times). They were also able to formulate a two day Nairobi city tour (which was not a part of the original package, but they agreed to take us around the city). Lennox, the tour ...

Thank you Glanniville. Glad that you liked your experience with us.Looking forward to hosting you or your friends again.
As a tour operator they are nice. However you would need to specify your requirements accordingly for them to arrange the same .
Thank you George. And yes if one specify's his/her dream about the safari we at axis are ever ready to make the dream come true with classic tailor made tours.
The game drives are fantastic! They really depend a lot on your driver. Both of our drivers together were funny, knowledgeable and got close to the action. I stayed at Rhino camp in Mara which was very fun. Food and facilities were fine, bonfire was made every night, staff were very friendly. Electricity only on at certain hours but hot water always running. Itinerary was clearly outlined in the i ... Read morentroduction of the package, no surprises. Only negative I can say is on the day drive to Nakuru we got in around 3 in the afternoon and nothing was planned for that evening.
