Safe, Professional & Customer-oriented
I’m writing this review as we’re finishing our amazing 2-person private safari with Axis Africa and their guide Yasin, which took us through Maasai Mara, Nairobi national park and Amboseli. This was our first ever safari and our first visit to Kenya, and the organizers really made sure we have a wonderful time.
Booking experience
We wanted to have a tailor-made safari and Rita from Axis has delivered. She was super attentive, helpful with suggestions and quick to respond.
We were offered a lot of options (different levels of accommodations, different dates and various extras) that would suit each possible budget. Value for money was much better compared to other vendors we’ve got in touch with. And Rita made sure that we get exactly what we want, without trying to upsell or force something on us.
It was possible to pay the deposit (~30% of total, including full prepayment for flights to Maasai Mara) by either card or bank transfer, and Rita was always quick to provide the payment confirmation to make us comfortable.
For the final payment it was possible to pay by cash after arrival at Axis offices, but we’ve just sent a bank transfer in advance to save our time. And of course despite doing careful research we were then very glad to see that Axis is legit when their representative picked us up from the airport. It was also nice that we could trust Axis with our big luggage while we were on a safari.
Safari experience
Yasin from Axis really went above our expectations. He was exceptionally professional and devoted to the job, patient with both nature and us.
While we flew from Nairobi to Maasai Mara, he drove there to make sure that we get a proper experience and not just a random hotel guide that doesn’t care.
Yasin, with his friendly personality, has been the cornerstone of our safari, providing us with a feeling of safety, comfort and knowledgeable guidance even in the midst of some extremely up-close wildlife encounters.
Thanks to his vast experience and an excellent connection network with other guides we were always right next to the action, driving purposefully from one wildlife encounter to the other, and managing to see the full Big Five, including an elusive leopard and big rhinos.
Yasin demonstrated very deep knowledge about animals, birds and nature, providing insightful comments about all the exciting wildlife we were seeing and making us feel like in a live first-person Discovery channel documentary.
Overall impression
Booking a safari in Africa and picking a reliable company among many hundreds can be tough. We are very glad we’ve decided to go with Axis Africa, thanks to whom our significant investment of time and money has paid off in a truly once-in-a-lifetime adventure and memories we will cherish forever.

Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris exceeded my expectations in every way, from the excellent communication before the trip to the professional service and smooth coordination throughout the safari. The staff were knowledgeable, punctual, and genuinely passionate about delivering a memorable experience. Every detail was well-managed, from airport transfers to lodge accommodations and game drives. I truly appreciated the value for money, as the quality of service far surpassed what I paid. Our guide was reliable and informative, ensuring we saw the Big Five. I highly recommend Axis Africa to anyone looking for an unforgettable, stress-free safari adventure in Kenya!

Amazing 7 days tour with Axis
Amazing 7 days shared tour through Masai Mara, Nakuru, Hell’s Gate and Amboseli National Parks. From the very beginning, customer service was amazing, Monica responded very quickly to every question and provided us with the offer that best suited our needs. The tour was well organized. Our guide, Sir Charles, was very devoted during game drives and did everything to show us all the animals and always taking good position of the car to take the best photos. We saw all the animals that we could. He told us a lot of interesting facts about the animals and he has a wide knowledge about their behaviors. Charles also drove very carefully on the roads. Accommodation met our expectations.
Just bear in mind that the luggage space in the car is limited so pack efficiently.
Overall, the trip was an unforgettable experience and Axis is definitely recommended!

Exceptional Tour
Johny Jackson is a dedicated and professional tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable about the safari and experienced guide. As animals are constantly moving, he is able to anticipate the direction of the animals and quickly positioned his jeep ahead at optimal position. He’s also very familiar with the park’s direction and is able to move quickly to a specific location when information is shared on the radio. My wife and I have a great time 8 days touring with him.
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. Johny is very familiar with the national park route, he is always the first to react when he receive information about the animals (lions, hunting) through the radio. He is able to anticipate the moving 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. I loved that he is always ahead of other safari car which is perfect for safari lovers like us. Johny also tried very best for us to get good and clear photos of the animals.
Overall the arrangement by Axis is great, we receive everything that is written in the itinerary, definitely a 5 stars.

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 the 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.

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 best experience.

Axis Safari delivers seamless, thrilling, and personalized wildlife adventures you’ll never forget.
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 spotting 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.
