Exceptional 3-Day Masai Mara Safari Experience with Axis Africa Safaris
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Safari Adventure
I just returned from an absolutely incredible 3-day safari to the Masai Mara with Axis Africa Safaris, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the initial booking process to our final farewell, every aspect of this experience exceeded my expectations.
Pre-Safari Excellence: Jackline's Outstanding Support
Before even setting foot in Kenya, I was thoroughly impressed by Jackline, our contact person at Axis Africa Safaris. Her communication was nothing short of exceptional – she was incredibly informative, answering every question I had with detailed, helpful responses. What struck me most was her transparency about what to expect, costs involved, and practical preparations needed for the safari. She was remarkably prompt in her responses, often getting back to me within hours, which really put my mind at ease during the planning phase. Jackline's professionalism and genuine care for ensuring we had the best possible experience was evident from day one.
Julius: The Safari Guide Extraordinaire
Our guide Julius was absolutely phenomenal – truly the heart and soul of our safari experience. His competence in the field is unmatched; he has an almost supernatural ability to spot wildlife and anticipate animal behavior. Julius went above and beyond to ensure we encountered the incredible diversity of the Masai Mara. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we saw an amazing variety of animals – from the majestic Big Five to countless species of birds, antelopes, and other fascinating creatures.
The highlight of our entire trip was witnessing a lioness stalking and attempting to hunt a warthog – a thrilling, heart-pounding moment that Julius positioned us perfectly to observe safely. His knowledge of animal behavior allowed him to predict this incredible scene, giving us front-row seats to one of nature's most dramatic spectacles.
What sets Julius apart is his perfect balance of being incredibly informative while keeping the atmosphere fun and engaging. He shared fascinating insights about animal behavior, ecosystem dynamics, and Masai culture without ever being overwhelming or lecture-heavy. His enthusiasm is infectious, and his respect for the wildlife and environment is deeply inspiring.
The Complete Safari Experience
The three days flew by in a blur of amazing wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable moments. The accommodations were comfortable, the vehicle was well-maintained and perfect for game viewing, and every logistical detail was handled seamlessly.
Axis Africa Safaris has created something truly special – they've combined exceptional customer service, deep local knowledge, and genuine passion for wildlife conservation into an experience that will stay with me forever.
If you're considering a safari to the Masai Mara, look no further than Axis Africa Safaris. Ask for Jackline when booking and request Julius as your guide if possible. You won't just go on a safari – you'll embark on an adventure that will change how you see the natural world.
Highly recommended without reservation – this is how a safari should be done!

A good safari guide makes a difference
Our driver and guide, Sadaam was very effective in showing us around and took the extra effort to rush whenever he got a radio message from his colleagues about a sighting. He was polite and accommodative throughout our 7 day trip. He followed the itinerary perfectly and didn’t deviate from it. Our trip was memorable mainly due to our guide, Sadaam.

Collin was a fun, attentive safari guide, always caring for everyone’s needs.
Our experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris was excellent in terms of value for money. We chose the Mid-Range Luxury accommodation and it was completely worth it. We saw plenty of wildlife and almost completed the Big Five — just missed the leopard by a bit of bad luck. The service and dedication of our guide were outstanding, and this is definitely an experience I would repeat.

An Unforgettable 5-Day Safari with Axis African Safari!
We just returned from a 5-day safari with Axis African Safari, visiting Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha — and it was nothing short of amazing!
We chose the budget safari option, but decided to upgrade our accommodation in Maasai Mara to Wildnest Mara Camp, which turned out to be a great decision — the camp was beautiful and comfortable, offering a great blend of nature and relaxation.
Even though it was a budget and shared safari, the service from Axis African Safari was truly over and beyond. Our guide and driver, Tom, was an absolute star. From the moment he picked us up to the moment we said goodbye, he made sure we were well taken care of. Despite the long hours of driving, his energy, professionalism, and passion for wildlife never faded.
Tom went out of his way to make sure we had the best possible experience — always on the lookout for wildlife, incredibly knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions we had. We were very close to seeing the Big 5 (Except the Leopard which was hard to find)
This was a truly unforgettable adventure, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you're considering a safari in Kenya, we highly recommend Axis African 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.

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.
