Roger was very knowledgeable about the Reserve and took us to some really good viewing spots!
My family and I really enjoyed our safari and experience with Axis Africa. Our guide Roger was great and took us to some good spots and we got to see 4 out of the big 5! There was some confusion about the pickup times at first because the itinerary and the tickets had two different times, but the team was quick to communicate the right information when asked. We stayed at a tent camp which had great food and amazing staff, but we didn’t know specifically which camp we would be staying at until we arrived on the first day. Looking forward to coming back for another safari!

An unforgettable safari experience with incredible wildlife sightings, delicious Kenyan food, comfor
The drive from Nairobi was long (around six hours), but we stopped regularly for restroom breaks, making the journey much more comfortable than I expected. Along the way, our guide Steve shared interesting insights about Kenyan culture and the Maasai people. One fact that stayed with me was that wealth is traditionally measured by the number of cattle and sheep a person owns rather than by money.
One of the biggest reasons this tour was so enjoyable was our guide, Steve. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. He also made sure everyone had a good experience, even recommending the best seats in the vehicle for viewing animals.
We were lucky enough to see an impressive variety of wildlife. On our very first game drive, we spotted gazelles, wildebeests, giraffes, buffaloes, and even lions. One of the most memorable moments was when Steve excitedly told us he had found something special and drove through rough, muddy terrain to get us there. Thanks to his efforts, we were able to see a magnificent male lion up close on our first day.
The second day brought even more unforgettable encounters, including cheetahs and large herds of elephants. I learned that the black lines under a cheetah’s eyes help reduce glare, much like the eye black used by baseball players. We also learned about elephant social structures, where experienced older females lead the herd. The safari was not only exciting but also educational.
The accommodations were comfortable and exceeded my expectations. Hot water was available, and spending evenings surrounded by nature made the experience feel truly unique. The food was another pleasant surprise. I especially enjoyed the local Kenyan dishes, including stewed meats, beans, rice, and ugali. Every meal was flavorful and satisfying.
The long drives and bumpy safari roads can be physically demanding, but the incredible wildlife encounters make every moment worthwhile. Seeing lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, and many other animals in their natural habitat was an unforgettable experience.
Overall, this safari exceeded all of my expectations. Great wildlife, excellent food, comfortable accommodations, and an outstanding guide made this one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kenya.

Highly recommend Axis Africa
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Axis Africa Safaris while planning a special family trip to Kenya for my husband's 40th birthday.
From the very beginning, Cynthia and her team were extremely helpful, responsive, and accommodating. She patiently answered all our questions and gave valuable suggestions to make the trip comfortable, especially since we were traveling with our 6-year-old daughter. Our itinerary included Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, and everything was planned seamlessly.
The entire trip was smooth and well organized. When we faced a small issue at our hotel in Nairobi, Cynthia personally stepped in and resolved it immediately, which we truly appreciated.
Our safari guide, Peter Kapino, was exceptional. He was always punctual, friendly, and made sure our family was comfortable throughout the journey. His knowledge, tracking skills, and ability to spot wildlife were incredible. Thanks to him, we completed the Big Five and enjoyed some unforgettable sightings.
A special thank you to the Axis Africa team for arranging a lovely birthday celebration for my husband at the lodge, which made the trip even more memorable.
This was our first safari with Axis Africa, but certainly not the last. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. Just tell them what you want, and they'll take care of the rest!
