Fantastic 6-Day Budget Safari in Kenya with Axis – Highly Recommended!
We recently completed a 6-day budget safari in Kenya with Axis Safari, and as a family of five, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the trip was professionally organized, great value for money, and truly memorable – thanks in large part to our incredible guide, Mohamed.
Mohamed was not only courteous, respectful, and attentive to all our needs, but also an ... Read moreextremely safe and skilled driver, navigating both well-known and lesser-used tracks with confidence and ease. His deep knowledge of animal behavior — including mating habits, migration patterns, and different breeds — added a rich educational layer to every game drive. Whether we were watching lions early morning or tracking elephants across the plains, Mohamed always had fascinating insights to share.
The accommodations were well-selected for a budget safari, offering solid comfort and amenities without breaking the bank. Each place was clean, welcoming, and perfect for families – truly great value for money.
We also appreciated the new Land Cruiser we traveled in, which was not only comfortable and well-equipped but also cleaned thoroughly after every day trip, something we really valued after dusty drives through the bush.
All in all, Axis Safari delivered beyond our expectations, and we highly recommend them — especially if you’re lucky enough to have Mohamed as your guide. His professionalism, experience, and passion for wildlife made our safari unforgettable.

Well organized tour with a knowledgeable tour guide
We had a very good experience with Kevin, our tour guide. We did the 3-day tour of the Maasai Mara. We enjoyed the safari itself, got a chance to see a wide variety of animals in plein migration, and were particularly well pleased with the sleeping accomodations!
A little bit more communication prior to the safari would have been appreciated but once we were picked up at hotel everything went ve ... Read morery well!
Excellent company and guide!
We really enjoyed the safari, and of course our guide Ken. For a very reasonable price we got the maximum experience. At first, I thought we would be staying in very basic conditions, but in fact we lived in quite nice lodges and hotels. Ken did his best to make sure we found all the animals, and in the end we saw the entire Big Five. I will definitely recommend the company and Ken to my friends!
Friendly and attentive
A truly beautiful naturalistic and cultural experience, with a very strong spirit of adventure.

Unforgettable Masai Mara Safari with Axis Safaris – Truly Exceptional Service!
From the moment I first reached out to Axis Safaris, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and very personalized. Jackie, who managed our booking, was incredibly patient and attentive. I had quite a few questions (and some last-minute requests), but she answered every single one with great detail and warmth. She customized our trip exactly the way we wanted, and her communication throu ... Read moreghout was prompt and reassuring. Thanks to her, we felt completely at ease even before the safari began.
During our safari, we were lucky to have Yaseen as our guide, and I can confidently say he made the trip unforgettable. From the very beginning, he treated us like family – always looking out for us, making sure we were comfortable, and going above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. His knowledge of the Masai Mara was outstanding; he shared so many interesting facts about the wildlife, their behaviors, and the ecosystem, which made every sighting meaningful.
What stood out most was how genuinely caring and thoughtful he was. He never rushed us, always gave us plenty of time to enjoy the moments and take photos, and patiently answered every question we had. Whether it was finding the perfect spot for a sunrise view or helping us with little details during the trip, Yaseen made sure every moment felt special.
Even though we didn’t manage to see the entire Big Five, the overall experience was nothing short of magical – and that’s thanks to the way Yaseen guided us and the way Jackie planned everything.
Overall, Axis Safaris exceeded all our expectations.
Great Safari experience.
Overall experience of was great, starting from the communication prior to booking. Rita was very patient and explained anything I inquired. The hotels and tour was well managed overall. The guide Collins was well experienced and eager to ensure our experience was fulfilling. He ensured we got to see the Big 5 up close.
Will definitely recommend.
Once in a lifetime experience
Our wonderful tour guide Tom took us on an adventure of a lifetime. We contracted a 5-day safari to experience the Wildebeest migration, and experience it we did. Tom was knowledgeable, fun, and so patient. We can’t wait to return to Kenya and check out the parks we missed this time.
The overall experience was good.
Our safari adventure with Axis Africa was an unforgettable experience. From airport pickup to drop-off at our Nairobi stay, the team ensured a seamless end-to-end journey.

The campsite at Mara offered some real adventure, with its muddy pathways and unpredictable weather, while the other stays were comfortable and welcoming. Overall, Axis Africa delivered a well-organized and memorable safari trip.
