The safari tour was a great experience!
The safari tour with Axis was a fantastic experience. We were on the road for five days and booked the safari directly in Nairobi, where Cynthia gave us excellent advice. The pickup from our hotel worked perfectly and was very punctual.
We booked a mix of mid-range and budget accommodations. The mid-range hotel, "Jambo Lodge," was really nice, clean, and had good food and friendly staff. However, ... Read more the boxed lunch for the trip was pretty meager.
The two budget hotels in Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, however, were unfortunately very budget-friendly (extremely noisy, making it almost impossible to sleep). The food wasn't good either; there wasn't much choice, especially for vegetarians, except for some rice or mashed potatoes, and both hotels only served extremely heavy meals like meat in sauce, rice, etc.). So, it's worth paying a little more and booking the mid-range accommodations.
Our driver, Lawrence, was great. He was always punctual, patient, and you could tell he had a lot of experience and knew where the animals were. He was also able to give us a lot of fascinating information about the animals and the surrounding area.
We always left quite early in the morning (around 6:30 a.m.) and then had lunch between 1 and 2 p.m. About seven hours without food is a bit long, so the whole group kept refueling with snacks they had bought themselves. This is definitely something that could be improved.
Overall, however, we were very satisfied with the tour and the organization. Thank you very much!

An Amazing Unforgettable Experience
Peter and Axis Safari provided an amazing unforgettable experience. The booking was easy to make through Philip on WhatsApp and he answered all my questions and was available at all times. Even though we were delayed on first day due to traffic, Peter reorganised the schedule and was flexible to any requests at all times. We managed to see 3 of the big five and all the ugly five, and visited the m ... Read moreasaii village. Peter got us close to the animals and was really good at explaining everything.

Our recent safari with Axis Safari was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized, comfortable, and tailored to give us the most immersive wildlife experience possible. But what truly made our trip unforgettable was our guide, Jack.
Jack was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and ecosystems, but he also had an amazing eye for spo ... Read moretting wildlife. Thanks to him, we got to witness lions on a hunt, a graceful herd of elephants, rhinos grazing peacefully, and even a rare leopard sighting! Each moment came alive through Jack’s stories, insights, and deep respect for nature.
The tour guide was very friendly and he made sure that he would cover everything on this trip
We had a 5 day safari and it was very thrilling and different . The accommodation provided by them was very comfortable and specially the food in Masai mara was very nice. We get to see many species mainly the lion and the active part is the hyenas predating the vultures, that area was very serious and intense. We had a great safari and I would thank personally for axissafari for arranging the bes ... Read moret experience.

Professional tour operators with attention to detail
Professional tour operators with attention to detail. Very accommodative of our requests without any hesitation. The guide we got was Ken and he is a veteran with 30 plus years of safari driving experience. He knows every corner of the masai mara and has a large network of guide friends who call him directly on rare sightings. We were able to see leopard eating his kill, cheeta hunting and eating ... Read morethe kill, lions hunting and eating the kill, zebra's crossing from the serengetty as part of probably the first batch of migration, lots of wildebeests, elephants, giraffes and buffalos. He took us to the mara river and we were able to spot crocodiles too... He is not at all bothered by our frequent requests to stop, adjust the vehicle for a better angle, breaks and even does them without even asking. Thanks to Axis Africa to give him as our guide for our 4 day adventure.

Wonderful and memorable Kenya safari
My husband and I went on a 8 days tour with Johny Jackson as our guide. Johny is very knowledgeable about animals and always share interesting facts with us as we spot the animals during the tour.

He is able to anticipate the moving ... Read more direction of the animals and always react faster than other cars, we always get the best front view of the animals with Johny as our guide.
