Amazing safari experience with an incredible guide
I did the 3 days / 2 nights Masai Mara group safari and honestly had such an amazing experience from beginning to end. Everything was very well organized and smooth, and I never had any problems during the trip.
Our guide Francis was absolutely incredible! you could really tell how experienced and knowledgeable he was. He always did his best to make sure we saw as many animals as possible and gave us a truly unforgettable safari experience. Even in just 3 days, we saw so much wildlife and experienced a lot, including the Maasai Mara itself, the Maasai Village, and so many beautiful landscapes and moments during the game drives.
He was also super friendly and made the whole atmosphere really comfortable and fun. The group was relaxed as well, which made the experience even better.
Overall, it was such a beautiful experience and definitely one of the highlights of my time in Kenya. I would 100% recommend Axis Africa Safaris.

Trustworthy safari operator with rich experience, flexible schedules and warm full-round travel sup.
I highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris to anyone planning a Kenya safari trip! Our tour guide Collin was incredibly warm, friendly and super dedicated. He picked us up early in the morning right at the airport on time. He is extremely experienced and skilled at spotting wild animals in the savannah. We were so lucky to witness amazing wildlife scenes including lions hunting prey, a whole family of African elephants, wildebeests, buffalos, leopards, hippos, hyenas, giraffes, crocodiles and many more stunning creatures.
Jacklyne from their office was always quick and patient to reply to all our questions before the trip, she gave us detailed information and solved all our doubts efficiently. They perfectly arranged a full and well-scheduled two-day safari in Masai Mara with extended game drive time, making every minute worthwhile.
Compared with many other travel agencies, their private safari tours are fairly priced with great value for money. The lodges they arranged were comfortable and nice with high cost performance, and the meals served there were delicious and plentiful.
The whole team is totally reliable and thoughtful throughout the whole journey. From pre-trip communication to on-site travel arrangement, everything was arranged smoothly and perfectly. We had an unforgettable and fantastic safari experience, and we will definitely choose Axis Africa again and recommend them to all our friends!

Exceptional Safari Experience with Khalifa and Axis
Our 8‑day safari with Axis was an experience we’ll always remember. Khalifa, our guide, was the heart of the trip — warm, thoughtful, and deeply knowledgeable about every park we visited. He didn’t just drive us; he curated the journey, taking us to great local spots for food and shopping and adjusting plans based on what we wanted to see.
He paid close attention to our interests and recommended early starts so we could catch rare wildlife at the right moments. Those early mornings paid off with some incredible sightings. Axis delivered an outstanding safari, and Khalifa made it exceptional.

Very reliable, good driver and efficient
My daughter and I enjoyed our safari. Rodger was an excellent tour guide. He was personable and knowledgeable. I liked that he was a good, safe driver and also was able to get us to see all the animals we wanted to see and up close! The vehicle was in great condition and we had plenty of water available to us during the safari.
The safari was a good value. Our lodgings were basic but the people there were very friendly and accommodating. The food served at the camp was good and our picnic lunch was very good with many options to fulfill us.
I felt a bit like the tour of the Masai village was a bit of a performance. It was fine but also seemed like a money grab from the people there. Items for sale were expensive, but others on our tour were sold the same items by different people for much cheaper. I was disappointed with this part of the safari. It felt like they wanted us there only to give money. This is not the fault of axis Africa but I wanted to mention it.
Overall this was a trip to remember and I would definitely recommend it. So many times during the safari my daughter and I said we were so lucky for the tour driver and group we were with because everyone was so great.
Rodger was extremely kind and professional
All the staff members were very kind and had great, reliable communication right from when we arrived at the office on the first day, to when we got dropped off at the airport at the end of our safari. Rodger, our tour guide was very good at driving through the difficult landscape, was always on time picking us up/dropping us off, and taught us so much about the animals we saw. He always drove fast and positioned us at the best spots so we could get great views of the animals. May was a great time to do the safari because it was not very busy in the nature park, and the weather was amazing. Food was good, they had carbohydrates, vegetables, meat, and vegetarian options at every meal. We stayed in tents which was definitely an unusual experience, but it was clean and cozy. It was very cool hearing all the animal noises at nighttime and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this safari.

Reliable
The Massai Mara and Lake Nakuru was amazing! Everything was very easy, they arranged pick up in the hotel and took us to our Guide, Richard who was very nice, funny, friendly, he was always on time and he knew every single animal. He gave us a lot of time with each animal and you can really tell he loves what he does. The accomodation and food everything was good. We did the ballon safari and we highly recommend it. Loved every single moment in this safari! Axis safari was flexible to our last minute changes with no problem. Book with Axis and ask for RICHARD!
Great personality, hard working for us, always caring.
We had a great time with our guide Rodger. He took us to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli for 6 days of game drives and lots of wild animals. He always wanted our best and cared for our safety. He had a big knowledge of the parks and all the animals, there was no question he couldn’t answer. He managed our group very well and kept calm even in difficult situations. The accommodations we stayed were all in good condition and had tasty food! Also the jeep we went with was in a good condition, always cleaned up again in the morning and filled up with fresh water.
I would highly recommend you to go on tour with Rodger for a great experience of the African wild life.

Incredible and unforgettable experience with the best guide Rodger
If you’re planning to book a safari with Axis Safari, do yourself a favor and ask for Rodger as your guide – he truly made this trip something we will remember for the rest of our lives.
We did the 6-day safari through Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru, and honestly, it exceeded every expectation we had. From the very first day until the very last, everything felt incredibly well organized, exciting, and special – and a huge part of that was because of Rodger.
He went above and beyond every single day to make sure we saw as many animals as possible, and thanks to his dedication and incredible spotting skills, we managed to find all of the Big Five in an amazingly short amount of time something we definitely won’t forget!
What made the trip even more special was Rodger himself. He was incredibly friendly, always in a great mood, and shared so much knowledge about the animals, nature, and the parks. You could really feel his experience and passion. Searching for animals with him was not only exciting but also so much fun – there were always interesting stories, great explanations, and laughs along the way.
The camps were also really great. We especially loved the Manjaro Camp in Amboseli – beautiful view to the Kilimanjaro, great facilities, and everyone there was extremely welcoming and friendly and the food was amazing. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
We also really appreciated Rodger during a more challenging situation: there were demonstrations in Kenia because of the increased fuel prices and traffic disruptions, but he stayed calm the entire time, kept us informed, and did everything he could to make sure we got through safely and comfortably. We always felt well taken care.
Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful time and would recommend this safari to everyone. Huge thanks to Rodger for making this trip so memorable – we’ll never forget it and enclosed him already in our hearts.
Sante Sana Rodger!

The best guide to go on tour with!
It was a great time with our guide Rodger. He always took care of us and made sure we have a great time. He took us to Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Amboseli for 6 days full of wild animals. Everyday, we were picked up by him with a clean jeep and fresh water, ready for game drive. He always secured that we get the best pictures of all the animals and had a great knowledge of the parks and the animals, there was no question he couldn’t answer.
The accommodations we stayed were clean and had tasty meals, we never had any chance to get hungry.
Overall I can definitely recommend to go on tour with Rodger for the best Safari experience.
