Amazing and mind-blowing!
The company did an excellent job and our safari guide, Kevin, was incredibly knowledgeable. We saw everything we were hoping for and more! The roads can be a little treacherous in the rainy season - so we were so glad for our expert guide who handled everything so well. Even though we went in mid-March, it never rained while we were out doing game drives. We loved the accommodations too - a lovely ... Read more glamping tent and then a luxurious hotel. I highly recommend the 4 day tour so you can see Lake Nukuru.
Great guy, very good at his job and fun tour operator. Not a bad thing to say about Moses.
Not interested. Inly here to leave a good review about Moses because he was great.

Peter Kapino is the best! Very patient, knowledgeable, and kind!
We had the BEST experience on safari thanks to our guide and driver, Peter Kapino. He was with us the entire time, and honestly, he made the whole trip unforgettable.
Peter is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He took his time to make sure we saw as much as possible and never rushed us especially when we wanted to stop for photos (which was often 😅). He knows so much about the ani ... Read moremals, the land, and the culture, and you can tell he truly loves what he does.
What I appreciated most is how comfortable he made us feel. From day one, it didn’t feel like we were just client, it felt like we were traveling with a friend, even family. He’s very welcoming, easy to talk to, and just has such a good energy.
If you’re planning a safari, I highly recommend Axis! Shoutout to Tabatha that made it easy to book! Very responsive and answered all questions! Safari tour was very organized and I am very happy for choosing Axis and that Peter Kapino was assigned as our tour guide!
Super friendly, very knowledgeable
Amazing experience, lots of informations about the animals, birds and the park itself.
Salakantay camp was considered low budget, but very confortable and rhe food was good
We were with Kevin. 10/10 would

Best driver and important information
We had a 3 day safari trip to Masai Mara with Khalifa as the driver and Derick as an extra hand. The two of them were very polite, helpfull and did their best to give us a great trip, which they very much did. They went above and beyond in giving us the best experience.
When comparing our experience with the other vehicles we saw on the safari it was pretty clear that Khalifa and Derick were e ... Read morexcellent at finding the animals, getting the best angles and definitely getting the closest. Being within 3 meters of a lion, cheetah, giant elephant and more is quite the experience. Khalifas experience in predicting the animals meant that we often got the best spot. And viewing the sun go down while watching a herd of elephants is a thing i will never forget.
Important knowledge of going on safari is, that you should make sure that your vehicle is a proper offroad vehicle, like a Toyota Landcruiser and not a minibus. But also note that some of the vehicles are in disrepair and therefore do not have 4 wheel drive. The vehicle you get determines if you can go off the path and get closer to the animals or have to stay on the path and use your binoculars. (Hint you definitely want to zoom through the plains and get closer to the animals)
However the most important thing to note is, that when it has rained the lesser vehicles get stuck. We had to help out a few times with people who were stuck, which was much preferred to being stuck ourselves. Unfortunately people from other safari agencies did get stuck and had to spend the night in their vehicle inside the park. As you can guess dining and toilet facilities are not the best when there are hungry Lions around.
Fortunately the vehicle from Axis Safari was well maintained and fully functional and Khalifa was a world class offroad driver. The vehicles used for Safari are not equipped with toolkits, winches or other typical rescue gear, and the help can be a long ways away so choosing a good vehicle and driver like with Axis is a very good choice.
I would definitely recommend going with Axis and if possible asking for Khalifa.
Great trip! Johny was our guide he made sure we got the best experience without complications
We made last minute plans a few times and everything went smoothly, we got connected to the best lodges, the whole safari experience has been very memorable.
Very comfortable and chill
We did a last minute booking and it went smoothly. Our driver was experienced and made it a good experience. Would recommend!
Good experience, good contact from the start, good driver! We had a great time!
Doing a safari tour with Axis Africa was great. We had good communication with the team from the start, as they are quick to answer.
Our driver Rodger, seemed very experienced, and was really helpful all the way. He knows what he's doing.
We chose " economical' for accomodations so it was simple but clean and good. Food was also simple but good. We followed what the program was saying. Only bad ... Read more side : the optional parts (like renting a bike at Hell's gate) was more expensive that announced in the quote (15$ instead of 7$, plus 10$ dollar fee to get the bike inside the park).
Except for this detail we had a really good time and enjoy chosing Axis Africa!
It was well organised
We had booked safari to masai Mara through axis Africa …it was a great experience for us…Our guide Rodger was great …he made sure we could see all the big 5 …he also made sure we all are safe throughout the trip…it was a great experience…thank you axis Africa…it was value for money
Very nice tour, very good driver too.
Very good driver Rodgers, we learned a lot about Kenya thanks to him.
We enjoyed every safari, he takes a lot of time to be sure that we took all the picture we want and with the best angle.
Everything was awesome, maybe just few more information about the organisation could be helpfull.
Rodgers answered every questions that we had, and we spotted a lot of animals thanks to him.
