Outstanding Safari Experience with Axis & the Best Guide in Masai Mara: Colin Sempele!
Outstanding Safari Experience with Axis & the Best Guide in Masai Mara: Colin Sempele!
We recently booked a safari to the Masai Mara with Axis, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From the moment we completed our reservation, the company gave us absolute peace of mind. Their organization, communication, and punctuality were flawless throughout the entire trip.
However, the true highlight of our journey was our guide, Colin Sempele. Colin is simply on another level—far better than anything we could have imagined.
Here is why Colin made this trip unforgettable:
Expert Knowledge & Engagement: He constantly shared precise, fascinating information about the ecosystem, always leaving space for questions. His delivery is fun, natural, and engaging—a clear reflection of his local roots and years of experience.
Sharp Spotting & Animal Behavior: His eagle-eyed ability to spot wildlife is mind-blowing. He understands animal behavior and nature so deeply that he could predict their movements with incredible accuracy, placing us in the right spot before the action even happened.
Photographer-Friendly Positioning: He always made sure everyone in the vehicle had an excellent view, constantly maneuvering to get the best angles and the perfect light for our photos.
Deep Respect for Wildlife: What we respected most was his ethical approach. Colin always prioritized the animals' well-being, keeping a respectful distance and ensuring we never overwhelmed or stressed the wildlife.

5⭐️ Safari Experience
My wife and I took on a 6 day safari of the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli parks with Axis Africa Safaris. Our experience was excellent!
Axis made the booking process easy for us, with regular communication through WhatsApp and great flexibility when it came to what safari lodges we’d like to stay in.
From arrival to dropping off back in Nairobi, we were well looked after.
Our tour guide, Raymond, was exceptional! we couldn’t recommend him higher! He had great knowledge of all the animals and was more than happy to answer all of our questions! Raymond had a fantastic eye for spotting animals and anticipating where they were going to be, getting is prime positions for sightings and photos. He also had a great sense of humour and really made us feel at ease.
Our highlight was the Masai Mara, where thanks to Raymond, we managed to see the famous river crossing, the big 5, the ugly 5 plus a cheetah all in one day.
We would highly recommend booking with axis Africa and make sure to ask for Raymond!
Raymond is friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent tour guide!
My husband and I went on a 6-day group safari with Axis Africa, visiting the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, and we had an amazing experience. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to book a safari in Kenya!
The booking process was very simple from the beginning, with regular communication through WhatsApp, which made everything easy and straightforward.
Our guide, Raymond, was brilliant throughout the trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable and always worked hard to make sure we got the most out of our game drives and had the best opportunities to see the wildlife.
We loved getting to experience three different parks, as each one had something different to offer. We saw so much wildlife along the way, and the scenery throughout the trip was incredible.
Everything ran smoothly over the six days and we really enjoyed the group safari experience. It was such a memorable part of our trip to Kenya and we would highly recommend Axis Africa — and especially Raymond — to anyone considering a safari!

A professional and genuinely caring tour operator that made our safari an unforgettable experience
Our safari with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris was an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Amos.
From the very first day, Amos made us feel comfortable and welcome. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and always happy to answer our questions. His knowledge of the wildlife was amazing—he explained the behavior of the animals, shared fascinating facts, and made every game drive both exciting and educational.
He also had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we saw so many amazing animals and had experiences we will never forget. Beyond being an excellent guide, Amos was simply great company. We genuinely enjoyed spending time with him, and his positive attitude made every day even more enjoyable.
Axis Africa organized everything perfectly, but Amos truly made this safari special. If you have the chance to go on a safari with him, you are very lucky. We highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris and especially our guide, Amos. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Superb from start to finish!
I didn’t know anything about safari booking and so spent ages trying to work out how best to book a safari. In the end I came across Axis and have to say their service was excellent. Their communication about possible options was well laid out and they were very responsive to the very many questions I had. They only take a small deposit too, which was really helpful.
The Safari itself was amazing!! We stayed at Wild Nest which was lovely. Large rooms, amazing food and wonderful hosts. But the best part was our guide, Tony. If you are fortunate enough to have him, you’re in for a real treat! He knows so much and his ability to navigate the Masai Mara was unbelievable. We saw the big 5 and the ugly 5. He went out of his way to find the best places possible to view animals and scenery. He was superb! We were also placed on a shared tour with some really lovely people who we really enjoyed spending time with too.

Beyond expectation!
We had an amazing trip in Kenya with Axis Africa, thanks to the coordinator Ms Tabitha from the initial planning till the end of the trip. We had nothing to worry at all.
As for the safari, we had an experienced guide, Kevin Apidi (who 99% look alike Tyrese Gibson of Fast&Furious) who brought us spotting for animals, from dusk till dawn, and we managed to see few rare occasions ie Rhinos fighting, Elephants crossing, Lioness feeding & hunting, and many more!
Well done to Axis Africa, we enjoyed it a lot!

Reliable - Hakuna Matata for us the travellers!
We are a group of 6 adults with 2 seniors.
Had a truly amazing 8 day - safari experience covering Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru & Maasai Mara National parks.
A big shout out to our guide, Kevin Apidi, an experienced guide with great sense of humour, who is punctual as well as patient in driving between the parks where it could take up to 6 hours.
Office staff - Tabitha is very responsive & attentive to the enquiries before the trip. Responds are always quick & timely.
“Come to the Safaris with a piece of blank paper instead of a checklist”. Quoted by Kevin Apidi. You will be truly surprised & amazed!
Thank you, Kevin Apidi, Tabitha & Axis Africa.
