Reviews
Well Organized Private Safari
We had a great experience with Axis Africa Safaris and would definitely recommend them.
The communication with Rita was excellent from the very beginning. She always replied quickly, answered all our questions in detail, and the entire booking process was smooth and professional. The itinerary matched what had been promised, everything was well organized, and all arrangements worked perfectly.
Our only suggestion for improvement would be the guiding. Our driver was a very good driver and did an excellent job finding wildlife, but we would have appreciated a more proactive guide who shared more information about the animals, nature, culture, and the places we visited without us having to ask.
Overall, it was a fantastic safari with great value for money, and we would happily book with Axis Africa Safaris again.

Excellent Safari Experience – Professional Team and Amazing Wildlife Encounters
We joined the 3-Day Masai Mara Adventure group safari with Axis Africa Safaris and had an excellent experience from beginning to end.
The booking and communication process was smooth and efficient thanks to Tabitha Mwangi from Sales Support. She was extremely responsive and helpful before and after booking. She clearly explained the different safari packages and options available and answered all our questions regarding the trip details. Her support gave us confidence and made planning easy.
Our guide and driver, Yasin, played a huge role in making this safari unforgettable. He is highly knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated to giving guests the best wildlife experience possible.
During the game drives, Yasin continuously stayed connected on the radio network to receive updates about wildlife locations and movements. His quick coordination and excellent knowledge of the park allowed us to arrive at sightings at the right time and enjoy fantastic, clear views of the animals.
Beyond wildlife spotting, Yasin shared useful information about the animals and made every drive engaging and enjoyable.
The overall safari was well organized and delivered exactly what we hoped for and more. We left with amazing memories and would definitely recommend Axis Africa Safaris to anyone looking for a well-managed and enjoyable Masai Mara safari experience.
Thank you to Yasin and Tabitha for making our first Safari trip so special.

It was amazing
We booked a 3-day, 2-night Masai Mara safari through Axis Africa Safaris, and it exceeded all of our expectations!
Our guide and driver, Yasin, was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable, professional, and had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were lucky enough to see 4 of the Big Five, along with giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and many other amazing animals. Every game drive was exciting, and Yasin made sure we had the best possible wildlife viewing opportunities while sharing interesting facts about the animals and the Masai Mara.
A big thank you as well to Tabitha, who helped us book the safari. She was responsive, friendly, and answered all of our questions promptly, making the entire booking process easy and stress-free.

Axis is a professional, responsive tour operator that delivers unforgettable safaris.
Our family spent an unforgettable 5 days on safari: 2 days in Masai Mara, 1 day in Nakuru, 1 day in Naivasha, and 1 day in Amboseli. It was truly one of the best travel experiences we've ever had.
Our guide, Peter Kapino, was exceptional and went far beyond our expectations. His excellent driving skills and deep knowledge of wildlife behavior, animal habitats, and daily routines allowed us to see the Big Five, the "Big Ugly Five," countless bird species, and even elusive animals such as cheetahs, leopards, lions, and black rhinos. It was clear that his experience and expertise made all the difference.
Peter was also incredibly patient, kind, friendly, and professional throughout the entire trip, making every game drive enjoyable and memorable.
Axis was outstanding from the very beginning. They provided detailed information about the different safari options, pricing, and what was included, and they were always responsive to our questions, making the planning process smooth and stress-free.
I highly recommend Peter Kapino as a safari guide and Axis as a safari company. They exceeded our expectations and made this an unforgettable adventure.

An Unforgettable Safari with an Exceptional Guide
We had a wonderful safari experience with Axis Africa Safaris. Communicating and planning with Axis was very easy from the start. They were always quick to respond, and the fact that most of the communication was done through WhatsApp made the whole process even easier and more convenient.
We especially want to recognize our guide, Peter Kapino. Peter was amazing throughout the trip. He was very friendly, patient, and accommodating, always understanding the different needs of our family and making sure everyone felt comfortable. It was clear from the beginning that he puts real passion into his work.
His knowledge of wildlife is excellent, and we were especially impressed by his deep knowledge of birds. He knew the animals, the parks, and the best times to start each day so we could have the best possible sightings. His experience and understanding of the places we visited made a big difference in our safari.
We are very grateful for Peter’s kindness, professionalism, and enthusiasm. He helped make this trip truly memorable. We highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris, and especially Peter Kapino as a guide.

The best of the best
I booked this 5-day Maasai Mara safari just one week in advance, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the Axis Africa team responded after I registered my interest through a safari booking website. They immediately provided me with several options to choose from and even arranged airport pickup from Nairobi Airport to their office.
My flight was delayed due to boarding procedures, but the driver waited patiently for me without any issues, which I really appreciated.
The safari itself exceeded all my expectations. I was especially lucky to have Kelvin Mimi as our guide. He isn't overly talkative, but he is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. No matter what questions we asked about the wildlife or the Maasai Mara, he patiently explained everything in detail and shared fascinating background information.
Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to see everything we had hoped for, and every game drive was full of wonderful surprises. I have no hesitation in recommending Kelvin Mimi and Axis Africa to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience.
