Excellent 3 day safari
The company was brilliant with the initial communication when booking the tour and were accommodating in changing the dates of our safari last minute due to flight issues. Tabitha was excellent in giving us all the information we needed and getting it set up for us, as well as being understanding when we had to change our plans.
The safari itself was an unbelievable experience, and exceptional value for money. We did the 3 day tour and the camp we stayed at was more than suitable with comfortable beds and tasty food. Our guide Kevin couldn’t have been better. He was polite and very knowledgeable on the Masai Mara and would go above and beyond in making the tour a special experience for all involved. He knew the best spots and allowed us to get up close with the animals, even more than other jeeps due to his connections. We couldn’t recommend Kevin enough!
Only slight improvement on our experience would be the Masai village tour, which was extremely interesting but towards the end felt like we were just there to be pressured to buy souvenirs from them which were quite over priced.

Absolutely phenomal and amazing, the most fun I’ve ever had
Wow, what an unforgettable 3-day safari! From the moment I booked, the communication was incredible—they answered every question so quickly and made everything super easy.
I honestly didn’t expect much from a “budget safari,” but the accommodation blew me away. It was way nicer than I imagined, and the staff made the whole experience feel so special. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, and the food was really tasty too!
Our guide, Peter Kapino, was the absolute best. He knew exactly how to get us close to the animals while always keeping us safe. Thanks to him, we saw ALL of the Big 5 (yes, all of them!) plus so many more amazing animals.
This trip completely exceeded my expectations and gave me memories I’ll never forget. If you’re thinking about going—do it! You won’t regret it.

Safe
I had the absolute best experience with our safari guide, Peter Kapino. From start to finish, he made sure we saw everything we came for—and more. Peter was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing so much about the wildlife and the land, which made every moment more meaningful.
I always felt safe with him, and he had an amazing ability to get us in the best viewing spots for photos and close-up experiences. Beyond his skills as a guide, Peter was so kind, patient, and genuinely cared about us having the best possible time.
Thanks to Peter, our safari was unforgettable. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional, safe, and truly memorable safari experience.

Amazing.
My safari in the Masai Mara was one of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken, and a huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Peter Kapino. From the moment we started the journey, he was welcoming, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He had such a great way of explaining the wildlife, the park’s ecosystem, and even bits of Maasai culture, which made the whole experience much richer.
What really stood out was his sharp eye and patience. He could spot animals from astonishing distances and always made sure we had the best possible view. Whether it was watching lions up close, tracking elephants, or finding rare animals, he gave us plenty of time to take it all in and capture photos. He was also a very skilled driver, handling the bumpy and muddy Mara roads with complete confidence, so we always felt safe and comfortable.
On top of his guiding skills, he was kind, friendly, and easy to talk to, which made the long drives so enjoyable. By the end, it felt like we were traveling with a friend rather than just a guide. I can honestly say that he turned a great safari into an extraordinary one, and I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the Masai Mara.

Flawlessly organized with warm hospitality—an unforgettable experience every step.
My experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the very first inquiry, their communication was prompt, clear, and professional—they answered all my questions, explained the itinerary in detail, and made me feel confident about booking. Leading up to the safari, the team stayed in touch and made sure every detail was confirmed, which gave me peace of mind that I was in good hands.
When the safari began, I was immediately impressed by how seamless everything was. The pickup was on time, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, and our driver and guide, Peter, was exceptional. He was not only reliable and knowledgeable about the wildlife but also genuinely dedicated to making sure we were satisfied every step of the way. Thanks to his expertise and determination, we were able to witness unforgettable moments in the wild—including seeing all of the Big Five, which was truly a dream come true.
The service throughout the trip was warm, genuine, and professional. I always felt cared for and safe, which made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. The accommodations arranged by Axis Africa were comfortable and exceeded expectations, offering the perfect balance of value for money and authentic safari experience.
What really stood out to me was how well-organized everything was—every transfer, activity, and meal flowed seamlessly without me ever having to worry about logistics. I could just relax and enjoy the adventure. For the quality of service, attention to detail, and the unforgettable safari itself, I truly believe Axis Africa offers some of the best value in Kenya.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and thanks to Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris—and especially Peter—it turned out even better than I could have imagined. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and exceptional safari operator. They made my dream trip come true, and I’ll definitely book with them again in the future.

Brilliantly managed and great team members!
Our Masai Mara safari was truly unforgettable, and the biggest reason was our incredible driver and guide, Peter Kapino.
From the very beginning, his warm personality and professionalism stood out, making us feel comfortable and excited for the adventure ahead. His knowledge of the park, wildlife, and local culture was outstanding, and he always had fascinating insights to share.
He had an extraordinary ability to spot animals from great distances and ensured we didn’t miss any highlights — from lions and cheetahs to rare birds and the breathtaking landscapes. What impressed us most was his patience; he never rushed us and always positioned the vehicle perfectly for the best views and photos. His driving skills were exceptional, navigating the rough Mara terrain with ease and keeping us safe and comfortable throughout.
Beyond his skills, it was his kindness, humor, and genuine passion that made the experience feel so special. By the end of the trip, it felt less like we were with a guide and more like we were traveling with a friend who wanted us to see the very best of the Mara. Thanks to him, we returned with memories and stories we will cherish for a lifetime, and we can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone planning a safari.

A solid 7 day safari!
My wife and I did a 7 day private budget safari with Axis and had a wonderful time. The company was amenable to our customization requests and we felt their organization of our trip helped for a smooth operation. Thank you to Philip for the timely itinerary updates to help us decide on our tour quickly. When we first visited the office, we also felt confident in the supervision by Cynthia to ensure our trip would go smoothly. The roster of preferred accommodations were great, especially the camps. The food quality and personal touch made them great and we actually preferred them to the hotels.
Our guide, Yasin, was knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. He seemed well-known and liked among the other tour guides from different companies, which allowed him to receive information on animal sightings so we could efficiently see the wildlife. His phone takes great pictures too and he shared them with us to supplement our own and provided informational commentary with the videos he took. His vehicle was comfortable, well-maintained, had universal charging outlets, and had a fridge in the back to keep drinks cold.
I would consider myself an overthinker so choosing Axis was not an easy decision, but I’m glad I did and would recommend them to my friends and colleagues who are now interested because of the great pictures we took. We believe the private safari is definitely worth it because of the space in the vehicle and the ability to make decisions based on our individual desires. Definitely research your options, communicate what you like, and ask questions about how to customize a trip beforehand.
