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!

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.

Exceptional service from Axis leaving us with wonderful memories
We were referred to Axis by friends. We wanted guidance and help building an itinerary to visit Masai Mara and Diani beach in one week. From the start Lucy could not have been more helpful. Communication by email and WhatsApp was prompt, very efficient, invariably helpful and patient with our many questions and changing thoughts. The final itinerary was perfect for us and within our budget. All we needed to do was book international flights - everything else was sorted by Axis. Whilst in Kenya, Lucy dealt with any questions by WhatsApp swiftly and always with a great solution - we felt very well looked after and that nothing was too much trouble.
The safari was amazing, everything we had hoped for. Our guide Tonny was fantastic. He went out of his way to show us the very best of Masai Mara and we saw so much of it and the wildlife. We learnt a lot about the Mara and animals from Tonny. We always felt safe, on the plains and the drive to and from Nairobi, and really enjoyed his good natured company.
The camp and hotel in Diani were great. Overall the week was excellent value for money.
The final day being taken around Nairobi by David was a fabulous way to end the week.
Overall, we have memories that will stay with us lifelong. Can’t fault Axis in any way. Highly recommended. Thank you Lucy, Tonny and David.
