Quick and effectice
We just finished our Safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and had a wonderful experience! Unfortunately we were not lucky enough to see the Leopard out of the Big Five, but our guide, Peter Kapino, tried his best to make sure we had a great time and saw as much as we could possibly see. And that's part of the beauty of a safari: you never know what you're going to find.
In terms of communication, Axis African Safaris where always very quick to reply to any questions.
Finally, the only constructive feedback I have is to update the amount of the optional boat trip in Lake Naivasha. We were initially told that it would cost 20 USD pp, however the current price is 30 USD pp. Not enough to ruin our trip in any way, but worth mentioning in order to better manage customer expectations in the future.
Thanks again for Axis Africa Expeditions, especially our guide Peter, for the unforgettable trip!

Amazing safari with Peter in Maasai Mara! Well organised 4-day trip which I highly recommend :)
We went on 4-day safari trip with Axis. The experience was very relaxed and well organised. The transportation was fast and comfortable. Driver and tour guide Peter was incredible and went above and beyond to explore the wildlife. For the accommodations we went for the luxury package which ensures a 5 star experience for food and rooms. Highly recommended to book with Axis!

Lovely experience - but didn’t see the river crossing
I had an amazing trip with Axis safari tours and Dickson as our guide and driver.
I went mid July to spend my birthday weekend as a solo female traveller and had a short but sweet and super rewarding trip. Dickson was a great driver and guide, always super positive, friendly and humble, making sure we are all comfortable, despite the long hours and tiring journey. He’s also always in contact with other guides so if someone has spotted a lion or another cool animal nearby, he’d know to rush there, and drive us as close as possible to take good shots.
Axis tour was also super helpful - I reached out to multiple companies prior to choosing them but they were the most responsive and always provided very thorough answers making me feel ensured. I asked many many questions and they were always able to accommodate to different requests and answer professionally. They picked me up from the airport early morning, then brought me to find an ATM that works (the one in the airport doesn’t work for local currency, only works if you take usd), and also dropped me off on return, making it a very seamless and safe journey.
It turns out they group you with different companies on the same Jeep depending on which tour you choose, but the customer service / sales experience was the best from Axis which made it feel like a safe and smooth journey.
I am a female solo traveller and obviously concerned for many reasons. But even for the allocation of group they tried to group us with other solo travellers and it was a great match - there were 2 other female solo travellers onboard! I was given the opportunity to select my preferred accommodation (which is very important especially for the campsites if you go for the budget option) and they even offered me an upgraded option for 30usd/2 days extra which was a life changer compared to where the others were allocated. At least there was hot water (even though you need to run it for 10 minutes) and the place was very clean and workers there felt like family, super warm and welcoming. Everyone in my jeep group booked with different companies and even though we went with the budget option, they said they couldn’t choose their preferred accomodation, not even subject to availability.
Unfortunately, I was told the great migration had a very high chance to be witnessed in July (during the days I went given I booked only 1 week ahead) but we only caught the start of the migration where there were large groups of wild beasts on their way from Tanzania but the river crossing scene was completely empty… our guide told us the best time is more mid August. I also heard from different groups that went around those days that they had to wait in a spot for 2-3 hours to see the river crossing but we didn’t get to experience this at all - the river was completely empty of wild beasts and we were just brought to look at hippos and crocodiles from afar, in the location where we were meant to see the river crossing - so that was a bit disappointing. But anyhow, I’ve enjoyed my little long weekend getaway and my first ever safari experience!

Excellent - Best Value for Money
We just got back from a 10-day safari across Kenya with Axis Africa, and it was an incredible experience. Rita helped us plan everything in advance and was super responsive and helpful. Once we landed, our guide Ben took over and was with us throughout the trip. He was reliable, knowledgeable, and always calm under pressure. The hotels were phenomenal, the itinerary was well thought out, and the entire trip was great value for money. Highly recommend Axis Africa if you’re planning a Kenya safari.

Perfect Tour
It was an indescribable experience. We spent three intense days enjoying the landscapes of the Masai Mara Park, and we saw many animals, such as elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, zebras, crocodiles, wildebeests, and buffaloes. Our guide, Nelson, is incredible, excellent driving, knowledgeable about the park, and knows the best trails. He definitely made the experience more complete. Regarding the accommodation: spectacular! The place was beautiful and cozy, the food was delicious, and the staff were super welcoming and attentive. I highly recommend the tour with this company.

Awesome
Jack was the perfect driver/guide. He brought us in an unforgivable adventure in masai mara and amboseli. We saw 4/5 of the big 5 (rhyno it's impossible). Avalaible in every our request and he explain us about the wild animals world. Always cheerful and professional.
The company provide for nice accomodation near the parks.
I will suggest this combination of company and driver for an authentic safari experience.
