Better than in our dreams !!!
An absolutely magical stay, tailor-made (and with great patience, kindness, and responsiveness) by Cynthia according to our wishes, our family's profile, budget and financial possibilities. Having arrived in Nairobi 6 days ago, we'll arrive in Diani tomorrow for 3 days of relaxation overlooking the Indian Ocean! Peter (kanipo) accompanied us throughout the game drive as our guide and driver, a truly talented individual with a perfect balance of kindness, humor, availability, and expertise (a pro with all the wildlife... the Big Five and the Ugly Five)... and (what seems to me to be the most important) perfect driving and control of our Land Cruiser on both roads and tracks!!
Next year, my sister and her family , from the US ,will come to Kenya for their first safari and with no hesitation I recommended her Axis, Cynthia and of course Peter Kanipo !!! Thanks again to all of them.

Absolute perfection !
A huge thank you to Cynthia and Axis Africa for this unforgettable safari through the parks of Nairobi, Masai Mara, Naivasha, and Amboseli. A heartfelt thank you as well to Peter Kapino for this memorable safari in Kenya! His expertise allowed us to observe incredible wildlife: lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, and so many other amazing animals.
Beyond the knowledge he shared with such passion, we truly appreciated his perfect balance between providing insightful explanations and knowing when to stay quiet to let us enjoy the magic of these places in silence. He was lovely, very attentive, and always went above and beyond to provide us with the best experience possible.
If you are looking for a professional and passionate guide for your adventure, don’t hesitate for a single second!

Axis Africa listens to its clients and delivers an amazing safari experience.
Our family of five recently completed a 6-day safari with Axis Africa Expeditions & Safaris, and it was simply one of the most memorable trips we have ever experienced.
First and foremost, a huge thank you to our guide, Peter Kanipo. He was exceptional in every aspect of the journey. Not only is he an excellent and extremely safe driver on Kenya's sometimes challenging roads and tracks, but he is also incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife, flora, and ecosystems. What truly sets Peter apart is his passion for his work. His enthusiasm was contagious, and every game drive became an opportunity to learn something new. He was always cheerful, attentive, patient with our many questions, and genuinely committed to making our safari unforgettable.
During our trip, we visited three incredible destinations. The Masai Mara offered spectacular wildlife sightings and breathtaking landscapes. Amboseli amazed us with its iconic views of Mount Kilimanjaro and its large elephant herds. Finally, Lake Naivasha provided a peaceful and unique contrast, with beautiful scenery, abundant birdlife, and memorable experiences on Crescent Island.
We would also like to thank the entire Axis Africa team. From the very beginning, they were highly responsive, flexible, and attentive to our needs. Communication was always easy, and they were remarkably accessible throughout the planning process and during the trip itself. They worked hard to create an itinerary that suited both our expectations and our budget, which we greatly appreciated.
If you are considering a safari in Kenya, we cannot recommend Axis Africa Expeditions & Safaris highly enough. Combined with the outstanding guidance of Peter Kanipo, they delivered an experience that exceeded all our expectations.
1000% recommended!

Amazing experience at a budgeted price
We had an amazing safari experience in Kenya, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, [Collin]. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and made sure we had the best possible wildlife sightings throughout the trip.
His driving and spotting skills were excellent — we were able to see lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, and many more animals up close. He also explained a lot about animal behavior and the ecosystem, which made the safari even more interesting.
He was always punctual, professional, and made us feel safe and comfortable during the entire journey. The trip was well organized, smooth, and truly unforgettable.
Highly recommended for anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

AMAZING!
It was amazing, I highly recommend it! We stayed in Wild Nest Mara Camp and it was better than expected, food, hot water, everything. The team from Axis Africa is super organized, all was arranged and communicated clearly.
We were picked up and taken for payment by Collins, who showed us around the city and did an amazing quick tour with us!
Special thanks to our amazing guide, Joshua! He’s clearly extremely experienced and did all to get some great shots of the animals! Seeing the lions from so close was the highlight of it, made the entire trip worth it! Big thanks to him for all the arrangements and efforts!

Our safari with Axis Africa Safaris was truly an un-fur-gettable experience! From the perfectly planned itinerary to the smooth organisation throughout the trip, everything was thoughtfully arranged and taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy every moment of the adventure.
A special thank you to our amazing guide, Collin, who made the safari even more memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, explained everything to us in detail, and ensured we had the best wildlife experience possible. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to spot lions and cheetahs up close — something we will never forget. He guided us so well throughout the journey and made us feel safe, informed, and excited every single day.
We would also like to appreciate Lucy from the company, who coordinated everything for us. She went above and beyond even before and during the safari trip, always being extremely prompt, helpful, and supportive with her responses. Her professionalism and care made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable.
Highly recommend Axis Africa to anyone looking for a well-organised and unforgettable safari experience!

Axis Africa Safaris is top-notch, and Yasin is a legendary guide—safe, friendly with the kids
An Unforgettable Family Adventure with "King" Yasin!
"We just finished an incredible circuit through Amboseli Naivasa and the Maasai Mara with Axis Africa Safaris, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our guide, Yasin, was the absolute highlight of the trip. Traveling with kids can be a challenge, but Yasin was so friendly and patient with them, making sure they were engaged and happy the whole time. Most importantly, we always felt safe—his driving across the rugged terrain was professional and steady. He provided amazing personal support and felt like part of the family by the end. If you’re booking with Axis, definitely ask for 'The King' Yasin!"
