An unforgettable safari experience with an outstanding guide
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience and cannot recommend this company highly enough.
From the very beginning, everything was organized professionally and communication was excellent. The entire trip ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on enjoying the experience rather than worrying about logistics.
The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly our guide, Simon. We saw far more wildlife than we ever expected, and that was largely thanks to his expertise, dedication, and knowledge of the parks. Whenever information about a sighting came over the radio, Simon seemed to know exactly where to go and how to position us for the best possible viewing opportunities. His understanding of animal behaviour, the park layouts, and the surrounding environment was truly impressive.
What set Simon apart even further was the depth of knowledge he shared throughout the safari. Thanks to his educational background and hiking experience, every game drive became an opportunity to learn. He was always happy to answer questions and explain not only what we were seeing, but also the wider ecosystem, animal behaviour, and conservation efforts.
Beyond being an exceptional guide, Simon was simply a great person to spend time with. He was professional, friendly, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about what he does. His enthusiasm was infectious and played a huge role in making this such a memorable trip.
Thanks to Simon and the team, we experienced countless unforgettable wildlife sightings and created memories that will last a lifetime. If you're considering a safari, we would wholeheartedly recommend booking with them and, if possible, requesting Simon as your guide.
Thank you again for an amazing experience.

David is an excellent driver and kind person. We arrived airport on time and the car is quite and co
There are so many people doing different tours. It’s a bit confusing in the beginning but the host of the accommodation is helpful to inform us.

A Birthday Safari I Will Never Forget
I booked a 4-day safari trip with Axis Africa Safaris, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
From the very beginning, the booking process was smooth and stress-free, even though I was arranging everything from abroad. A special thank you to Lucy, who was incredibly helpful, responsive, and professional throughout. Meeting her and the rest of the team in person was a pleasure.
The safari itself was absolutely incredible! A huge thank you to our driver and guide, Dickson, who made the experience unforgettable. His positive energy, enthusiasm, and dedication ensured that everything ran perfectly. He was always available to help, answer questions, and make sure I was having the best possible time.
Dickson even organized a wonderful birthday surprise for me at the camp, which made the trip even more special. As a guide, he was outstanding very knowledgeable about the animals and always ready to share stories and insights.
If you have the opportunity to go on safari with Dickson, you’re in excellent hands. Just relax and enjoy the experience he’ll take great care of everything.
I highly recommend both Axis Africa Safaris and Dickson. The agency is extremely responsive, professional, and helpful whenever you need assistance or have questions.
Thank you to the entire team for such an amazing experience. I will definitely be back! ❤️🦁🐘🌍

Knowledge and very kind
Dan the man. Absolutely beautiful experience thanks to the ambition of him. Of course credit is due to the wonderful plains of Masai Mara, but Dan worked his hardest to make it possible to see the big five. We ended up getting lucky and seeing them along with hyenas thanks to Dan’s determination to find them ! He was extremely knowledgeable in knowing where the dens were, where certain lions regularly visited and we were rewarded accordingly. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this and his work to anyone else considering. Worth every sent!

Excellent safari, I would highly recommend.
Our 8 day safari was brilliant, we had 2 days in maasai mara with our guide Joseph who was really great and had very good knowledge of the animals. We then had 6 days with Moses in maasai mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli. Moses was a fantastic guide, had an excellent knowledge of all the animals and was very funny. Moses really made our safari special and is the best guide I have had out of the 6 safaris I have ever done, big thanks to him. Couldn't recommend this more, request Moses as a guide if you can.

Fun
Tman was our tour operator and made the safari very enjoyable. He was knowledgeable and fun. He made sure we saw many animals, including the big 5. I also appreciate the many bathroom breaks and the delicious lunch. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Amazing!
Tshiamo drove us around and shared amazing facts about the animals we saw, the history of the park, and South Africa in general. Highly recommend the tour but moreover request Tshiamo if you can because he will make it even better!
T-Man was the best!
T-Man did a phenomenal job- his expertise, passion, and humor made the pilanesberg tour a fun, magnificent, and unforgettable experience. He is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had!

Smooth, efficient, and friendly
Very good experience with Morning Star. Joy helped answer lots of questions and tweaked our itinerary multiple times patiently before we finally decided on doing a mix of Naivasha, Amboseli, and Masai Mara over 7 days. We had John as our driver and tour guide for the entire trip, and he was amazing! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. John understood our preferences quickly and made suggestions and tweaks to cater to our needs. We got lucky with tons and tons of animal viewings and behaviors (wildebeest chasing away Cheetahs for e.g.!) and John also went out of his way to help and try to find rare animal sightings. Though we couldn't see the rare Rhino, it was amazing to see John go out of his way and put in almost 10 hours of driving trying to find this elusive creature! All in all a terrific trip!
