Professional, reliable, and dedicated to creating an unforgettable safari experience.
Our safari was an absolutely incredible experience and definitely something everyone should do at least once in their lifetime.
Our guide, Wycliffe, was fantastic! Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were able to see so many animals up close. He was always willing to go the extra mile to find the best spots, get us closer to the wildlife, and patiently answer all of our questions. His passion and knowledge really made the whole experience even more special.
The accommodations throughout the safari were also excellent, and everything was very well organized.
We would absolutely recommend Axis Africa Safaris to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya. It was a truly amazing journey and one that will stay in our hearts forever!
Friendly, professional, experienced, and reliable - tour operator that made every step of our safari
We had a fantastic 7-day safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli. Axis Africa Expeditions & Safaris took care of all the accommodation and meals included in our package, and everything was well organized and met our expectations.
The highlight of our trip was our guide, Amos. He was incredibly friendly, patient, and professional throughout the safari. Since we were traveling with our parents, he was especially understanding, accommodating, and made sure everyone was comfortable. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife, birdlife, and the parks made every game drive both exciting and educational. He happily answered all our questions and shared fascinating insights that greatly enhanced our experience.
Overall, the safari exceeded our expectations, and we had an unforgettable time. We highly recommend Axis Africa Expeditions & Safaris, and a special thanks to Amos for making our trip so memorable.

Incredible Experience
We had an incredible safari experience with Amos as our guide. I have knee problems that make it hard for me to move quickly, and Amos was so patient and accommodating the entire trip — he never rushed me and always made sure I was comfortable getting in and out of the vehicle and moving around at each stop. He drove safely and confidently throughout, which put us completely at ease, and was punctual every single day. Despite my slower pace, he still made sure we saw so many amazing animals up close. Highly recommend Amos to anyone looking for a safari guide who’s professional, and genuinely goes out of his way to accommodate his guests’ needs!

Once in a lifetime experience
We had an incredible safari experience with Amos as our guide, and couldn’t have asked for better. He drove safely and confidently throughout, which put us completely at ease. Amos was punctual every single day, always ready and waiting when he said he would be. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable the whole trip, and his sharp eye for spotting wildlife meant we got to see so many amazing animals up close. Highly recommend Amos to anyone looking for a safari guide who’s professional, reliable, and genuinely passionate about what he does!”
Masai Mara-Nakuru-Naivasha 6 day Masai Mara-Nakuru-Naivasha safari with Axis Safari was exceptional
Masai Mara is an amazing wildlife viewing experience. We observed so many animals with almost non stop encounters. The guides were so enthusiastic we were in the park from just after sunrise to sunset each day.
We added a second full Masai Mara day which allowed us to fully explore the park. We saw a wildebeest river crossing on both days.
We really enjoyed the Lake Nakuru park, the Lake Naivasha boat ride and Hells gate biking, rock climbing, and canyon hike.
Guides Jack and Raymond were excellent.
They were very enthusiastic, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They were great at navigating the Land Cruises quickly to the optimal animal viewing sites!
The trip in general was well planned and executed as described in our itinerary. This was a group safari and the other participants were very nice and interesting.
This was a budget safari and the accommodation and food were very good.

Big 5 with Collin
We saw the "Big 5" thanks to our guide, Collin. It was an unforgettable adventure that exceeded all expectations. The 6-day tour began at Lake Naivasha and Crescent Island—featuring a boat ride and a walking tour—where we saw hippos, eagles, zebras, giraffes, gazelles, and waterbuck. We then transferred by jeep to the Masai Mara. During the two-day safari there, we managed to see lions hunting (a truly thrilling and unique experience), as well as leopards, elephants, buffalo, cheetahs, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, monkeys, warthogs, vultures, jackals, and hyenas—all the animals one imagines seeing when visiting this country. To complete the "Big 5," our guide Collin took us to Nakuru, where we saw the black rhino. Our children, aged 10 and 6, were thrilled with the time spent on this tour; thanks to our guide's warmth and kindness, they grew very fond of him, calling him "Uncle Collin"—their uncle from Kenya. We sincerely thank Collin for the time and expertise he dedicated to us, and Lucy from Axis Africa Safari, who impeccably selected every place we stayed and made this trip unforgettable—an experience that will forever remain in our hearts and memories. A heartfelt thank you to you all!
Great Trip to Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West
We had two great Safaris with Raymond and Jack as our drivers. We were picked up from our hotel and after that point everything was taken care of for us. The accommodations that Axis booked us into were very nice and the staff at each hotel/lodge were very attentive and provided very good service.
We saw the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Hell’s Gate with Jack. With Raymond we saw Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo West, and Tsavo East.
We throughly enjoyed having both Jack and Raymond as our drivers. Both were passionate and excited when we saw hard to find animals like the leopard or lion cubs. They were knowledgeable and had answers for all the questions we had about the animals. After 5 or 6 days with each driver, it feels like we made a new friend in each of them!
Each park has something different to offer and we were happy that Axis was able to provide a good itinerary that allowed us to see each one! I would definitely book with Axis Africa and Jack/Raymond again.

Khalifa was the best, he was a lovely guide that knew what he was doing.
Communication in planning the trip was excellent through Tabitha, and all the staff were lovely in the office. Me and my partner ended up deciding to stay at the Wild Nest camp, which was 100% worth the money, great service and food. Khalifa was the best guide we could’ve asked for, very funny, interesting, and experienced. We were able to see all the animals we wanted to with his help (including a river crossing!)
An incredible adventure that we will never forget!
We spent six wonderful days exploring Lake Naivasha, Aberdare, the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru National Park a journey that we will carry in our hearts forever. A very special thank you to our guide, Collin, who spoke Italian and knew exactly how to engage and win over our two children, aged 10 and 6, allowing them to fully enjoy this truly unique experience. Thanks to his experience and great attention to detail, we managed to see all of the Big Five, and we were even lucky enough to witness a lion hunt an incredible and unforgettable experience that is difficult to put into words! Collin was always available, patient and attentive to all our needs, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Travelling with two children is not always easy, but having someone so helpful and accommodating by our side truly made all the difference. A heartfelt thank you to Collin and Lucy from Axis for making this trip absolutely unforgettable. ❤️🦁🐘🦒

Dickson was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and hard-working. Grateful to have him as our guide!
We journeyed to Amboseli and saw incredible wildlife. Dickson, our driver and guide, was phenomenal. He drove expertly for hours on bumpy roads and in the vast expanse of the park to get us close to amazing wildlife scenes. Loved the elephants, and getting to witness whole families up close and personal!
What an amazing tour - would highly recommend!
