11/10 - fantastic safari experience!!
Had the most amazing experience on my 3-day safari with Charles, our guide and driver! Charles was super knowledgeable about all the animals and the Maasai Mara itself, he was a great driver and in only 2 days we saw 3 of the big 5 (lions, elephants and buffalo, plus a cheetah!) Accommodation in wild nest was super cozy and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Food was great. Overall I ... Read morewould highly recommend Axis Africa safaris to anyone looking for great value for money, and guaranteed safari sightings! I was nervous as a solo traveler but the group I was with were super welcoming and friendly and Charles went out of his way to make sure everything went really smoothly. I hope to do another safari in future!

Marcus | Masai Mara
Lions — Multiple sightings across every drive. Large prides, cubs, males and females resting and roaming. The Masai Mara is cats territory and Marcus proved it over and over.
Cheetah — Marcus tracked a cheetah mid-hunt and we watched it take down a gazelle right in front of us. One of the most raw and breathtaking things we have ever witnessed in nature.
Rhino — ... Read moreThe most special moment of the trip. A rhino sighting is something very few visitors ever get. Marcus made it happen. We were speechless.
Elephants — Large herds moving across the savannah with that quiet, unstoppable grace.
Hippos — The Mara delivered something truly unique: we watched a full fight between two adult hippos in the river, raw and thunderous, and just minutes later spotted a newborn calf sheltering against its mother on the bank. Emotional doesn't cover it.
Nile Crocodiles — Massive, motionless, menacing along the Mara River. Marcus explained their behaviour with fascinating precision.
We cannot recommend Marcus highly enough. Professional, passionate, and with a knowledge of this ecosystem that goes far beyond anything we expected.
Awesome trip with an awesome guide.
This was one of the best trips I have ever had. Richard was an absolutely fantastic guide. Definitely request him. Everything was well organized from start to finish.
A well-organized tour operator with excellent guides.
We had a wonderful safari experience and everything was very well organized. Our guide, Richard, was kind, attentive and extremely knowledgeable. You can really tell he is passionate about his work, and he made the whole experience much better. He always made sure we had the best possible experience in the parks. If we come back, we would definitely love to have Richard as our guide again.
Amazing Experience, hakuna matata!
We had an AMAZING time with Axis Africa! From the beginning, Rita was very helpful and organised, and orchestrated our Safari perfectly. Our driver Raymond was very keen to find all the animals, he is very knowledgeable and accommodated all of our requests. He always made sure we had the best spot for the pictures, we had an amazing time. Overall the experience was seamless, the recommended hotels ... Read more were perfect, big shout out to Elephant Gorge Camp and Entim Camp Masai Mara, I highly recommend both! Nakuru Sopa Lounge was also very good. The biggest highlight with Axis Africa is the value for money, other companies were charging twice the price, for what I imagine to be the same experience. We had a magical time and saw A LOT of animals!
Hakuna Matata!
Just had the most fabulous week with the Axis Safari. You don’t need to worry about anything , just enjoy the trip. Our guide Raymond was very patient and always keen to find the animals for us to see. The hotels were fantastic too. We are now leaving Kenya, but if we could we would definitely stay longer!
Excellent communication & execution
