Reviews
An unforgettable experience, made even more perfect by friendly and knowledgable guide Steve
We booked the “slightly upgraded” budget Kenya safari option which included Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli.
Our guide Steve, took us on the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru parts of the tour and was absolutely excellent. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time possible. From the get go our entire group was made very comfortable, and his friendly and extremely knowledgable nature was perfect for the trip. He did everything within his power to make sure we experienced the parks to their fullest and truly made the experience!
Communications throughout booking were clear, Axis Africa gave us a booking voucher after we completed the booking which detailed the itinerary - which was kept completely the same during the trip. We were fully briefed when arriving to their offices in Nairobi on the first day of the trip and then our guide Steve made sure we all knew the plan after each drive, and ensured we made the most out of every moment of each day! Everything was meticulously organised.
The “budget” accommodation was much better than I had hoped for and was comfortable, clean and perfect for our purposes of rest before a big day of driving.
In terms of value for money, I believe it’s great considering the experience and everything included. We were kept very well fed throughout - with all meals and bottled water provided each day.
Overall I would highly reccomend a tour with Axis Africa, especially with guide Steve. Thank you for an incredible experience!

Amazing Safari experience
We had an amazing experience on the 4 Night/5 Day Safari trip. Our guide, Kevin, was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire trip. It was very clear he had a passion for showing people all the amazing beauties of Kenya. During game drives he was communicating extensively with other guides and rangers to get us access to the best animal sightings. He also seemed to have a strong intuition for the movements and behaviors of the animals (especially the big cats), which let him position the safari vehicle in the best spots. There were multiple times when we parked a bit away from the other vehicles only to have the cats come right up to our car.
Axis safaris provided a great itinerary and were really glad we did the full 5 days as biking through hells gate was also a major highlight. If I had to change anything I would make the cost options available per night so you could splurge on a night at Lake Naivasha while also staying in more budget friendly accommodations elsewhere. Some of the days were long drives without many activities, partnering with hotels to provide more optional evening activities could also go a long way while also making sure the guides have plenty of rest. Overall this was truly an unforgettable trip with an amazing group of people and a fabulous guide additionally seeing the big 5 and all the big cats was a big plus. I would highly recommend joining an Axis tour to anyone coming to Kenya.
Couldn’t recommend more!
Couldn’t recommend more!
The whole process has been smooth and easy. The booking was very well explained and the person that took care of our booking, Tabitha would take maximum 1h to reply back to my queries.
Our guide Kevin was amazing , very helpful and knowledgeable!! We managed to see the big 5!
Our hotels were amazing, we picked the option 4, that was more expensive, but worth every penny!!! Specially the Lake Nakuru Lodge and Lake Naivasha Sopa!

Unforgettable week on safari 🇰🇪
The tour was amazing from start to finish.
Our guide Kevin was brilliant and was very knowledgeable about all the wildlife and surrounding areas - even spotting all the big 5 during our stay!
We did the 5 night safari and the hotels selected by Axis were all great , and the safari vehicle was also very comfortable. We selected option 4 hotels which were all really nice, and topped off by our stay in Lake Naivasha where we had giraffes, zebra and hippos inside the hotel grounds.
My only small critique is we could have fit maybe another activity (another evening drive or a different activity) on day 3 where it was mostly a travel day from Masai Mara to Nakuru.
Overall it was a truly unforgettable experience and I would highly recommend Axis (and our guide Kevin!)

Amazing experience
Very beautiful experience, thank you to the two guides we had during our Safari: Tom and Richard.
They are very professional and friendly. We saw a lot of animal and the last day with Richard we saw an attack!

The most unbelievable and fantastic safari, and the best operator!
The safari was more than I ever could dreamed of. Our guide, Richard, made our days absolutely amazing and so safe. We saw all the animals - lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetah, leopard, hippos and I could go on. The nature was absolutely amazing and Richard was always ready to tell us everything about the park, the animals and were also ready to answer all of our many questions. We feel very thankful and grateful for this experience.
