Nicole was outstanding!
Axis was a great value for a your. In fact, I feel it was way beyond what you would expect at this price point. The company is so organized and communicates so well with their staff. The tour guides themselves collaborate to ensure all guests get what they need. If one tour guide sees an animal- they call each other to share the location, etc. Also, the guides are so professional and polite- and s ...

We had an amazing guide, Nicole, who knew do many facts and went far and beyond to take us to all the animals. I would highly recommend this company!
very experienced, funny, good English, perfect pacing, a guy youd want to hang out with in private
We had Andrew Kamau as a guide and were astonished by the proffesionalism of him and Axis. He was funny, very experienced with a good English, led us to alle the big five and much more and always knew when to speed up on a "mission" and when to slow down, take a photo/washroom/lunch break to make this exhausting trip really enjoyable and memorable throughout.
The diversity and amount of wildlife ... Read moreto be seen was way beyond what we were expecting, and we felt that Kenyans in general had really made preservation a priority for their country and are rightfully proud of the success.
Vegan or vegetarian options on this tour and in Kenya in general have a way better availability than in many European countries.
We were wondering before the vacation, if it could be worth it, to rent a car and do the drives ourselves, but gladly decided against it and booked this fantastic pretty much all inclusive tour. Just lean back and enjoy all the wonders on the way, you do not need to drive on Kenyan highways and through Savannah rivers, all the Hotels, entrance fees and Lunch options are prearranged for you.
We also had a "special" wish granted in dropping us off on the way back to Nairobi with all our luggage near Naivasha. Communication before our trip was flawless and really helped us to get the most out of our vacation.
Only thing Axis should review in their process: Tripadvisor has a field for Hotel-pickup-time that let us choose 7:30 (which would have been to late anyway considering the 8:00 start at the Headquarters that we couldnt know of). At midnight before, the driver told us he would arrive at 7:00, making it impossible for us to take our hotel breakfast or arrange a breakfast bag or something. So probably review the options given in this field or communicate changes from that plan at least half a day in advance.
Thank you for the fun time and all the memories!
Khalifa was extremely knowledgeable and always took good care of us!
I requested a quote for a 4 day/3night safari and Tabitha was very quick to respond and send me over all the different tour options. She helped me decide which one was the best for my budget and was always available to answer any questions I might have.
Fast forward to the start of the safari tour, Tabitha communicated to me that Evan would be picking me up from my hotel. Evan arrived promptly ... Read more at 7am and drove me to Axis Africa Safari Office. Once there I paid the remaining balance of my tour and was assigned Khifa as my tour guide. The tour commenced and Khalifa pointed out things that we should know during our 5 hour ride to Masai Mara. Once in Masai Mara, Khalifa was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and knew exactly where to look in order for us to see the big 5. On the first game drive we were able to see 4/5 of the big five. Khalifa got as close as he could to the animals and always made sure that we had the best view for any pictures or videos. He even gave us information about the different birds that we encountered during the game drives. Khalifa was the best tour guide that I could’ve asked for and I was so glad to learn from his knowledge.
I was assigned to the Wild Nest Camp and it was a very pleasant experience. They were very accommodating and the food was delicious. I slept comfortably every night and they always made sure that we were well taken care of.
Overall my safari tour experience with Axis Africa was amazing! Tabitha and Khalifa made it a very smooth and pleasant experience. I would definitely recommend them for anyone planning a safari tour!
It was a great experience and I would recommend to all our friends
We would like to thank our safari driver Raymond to give us a great experience.We where able to spot the the Big 5 and the Ugly 5 and the Raymond has helped us spoting it.The journey,travel and accommodation was good and the staff was also very friendly
Excellent safari experience with Axis Africa
I had a wonderful experience with Axis Africa Safari and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a Kenya safari. From start to finish, everything was well organized and enjoyable.
A special mention goes to our safari driver, Raymond, who was excellent throughout the trip. He was professional, friendly, accommodating, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the experience. H ... Read moreis knowledge of the national parks and wildlife was impressive, and he knew the best places to go for great sightings.
Very knowledgeable, kind and personable.
Our Safari adventure with Ken Ngamia was spectacular. We got to see the Big 5 and so many different animal experiences. Every question asked was met with a great description and we were taken care of very well over the couple days.
Happy, comedic, knowledgeable.
Fantastic tour! Got to see all big 5 animals! Only thing I wish the company would do better is being more upfront about needing cash at the camp for alcoholic beverages. My partner and I seldom travel with cash and we unfortunately didn’t get M-PESA on our phones so we could not buy anything from the bar at the camp.
Outstanding safari host
It was an excellent experience for me having the safari organised by Axis Africa. Our safari host/driver Raymond made sure we had the best experience throughout the trip. His exceptional knowledge of the Maasai Mara and Nakuru national parks proved to be of great value, enabling us to experience a lot sightings including multiple rare ones like the leopard, black rhino. We were able to see the big ... Read more five and ugly five on the very first day of the safari. He was extremely reliable and very accommodating. We would recommend Raymond and Axis Africa very confidently.
Reliable company that make posssible a once in a lifetime experience
It has been great travelling with Axis Safari expeditions, through all the process there was excellemt customer service and mos important, they assign a knowledgeable and well connected guide, Pili Pili, that know the Mara and Nakuru as its own hand.
Hassle free & trustworthy Safari experience
I had planned our first Kenya trip with my son via Axis Africa Safaris and it was a smooth and trouble free experience with them. Since me and my son had different goals for Safari. I had to do wildlife photography and he needed to just watch & observe them and it all came aligned.
Our Guide Mr Peter Kapino was truly amazing and patient. He has vast experience & knowledge with Birds and animals ... Read more. Not to mention Mr Peter Kapino is a very good spotter for wild life. He was so quick to find camaflaged smallest birds and animals and gave us details about them. In last not to mention that he is a very good driver and in all our Safaris and long drives we felt very much safe & comfortable with him.
Team Axis Africa is also very nice. Ms Cynthia and team listened to our requirements and carefully fine-tuned the whole trip. They have a very nice network so even a complex schedule is easy.
I would highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris & Guide Peter Kapino for your next Kenya trip.
Don't forget to have Hot air balloon ride in Masaimara to catch morning views.
