Axis is a professional, responsive tour operator that delivers unforgettable safaris.
Our family spent an unforgettable 5 days on safari: 2 days in Masai Mara, 1 day in Nakuru, 1 day in Naivasha, and 1 day in Amboseli. It was truly one of the best travel experiences we've ever had.
Our guide, Peter Kapino, was exceptional and went far beyond our expectations. His excellent driving skills and deep knowledge of wildlife behavior, animal habitats, and daily routines allowed us to see the Big Five, the "Big Ugly Five," countless bird species, and even elusive animals such as cheetahs, leopards, lions, and black rhinos. It was clear that his experience and expertise made all the difference.
Peter was also incredibly patient, kind, friendly, and professional throughout the entire trip, making every game drive enjoyable and memorable.
Axis was outstanding from the very beginning. They provided detailed information about the different safari options, pricing, and what was included, and they were always responsive to our questions, making the planning process smooth and stress-free.
I highly recommend Peter Kapino as a safari guide and Axis as a safari company. They exceeded our expectations and made this an unforgettable adventure.

A special thank you as well to Jaqui in the office. She was professional, responsive, and made the entire booking process smooth and stress-free from start to finish.
We loved every moment of the tour and highly recommend this team to anyone visiting the Maasai Mara. Thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was amazing
We booked a 3-day, 2-night Masai Mara safari through Axis Africa Safaris, and it exceeded all of our expectations!
Our guide and driver, Yasin, was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable, professional, and had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were lucky enough to see 4 of the Big Five, along with giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and many other amazing animals. Every game drive was exciting, and Yasin made sure we had the best possible wildlife viewing opportunities while sharing interesting facts about the animals and the Masai Mara.
A big thank you as well to Tabitha, who helped us book the safari. She was responsive, friendly, and answered all of our questions promptly, making the entire booking process easy and stress-free.
This 3-day, 2-night safari was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris to anyone planning a trip to the Masai Mara. Thank you, Yasin and Tabitha, for making our safari such an incredible adventure!

Excellent Safari Experience – Professional Team and Amazing Wildlife Encounters
We joined the 3-Day Masai Mara Adventure group safari with Axis Africa Safaris and had an excellent experience from beginning to end.
The booking and communication process was smooth and efficient thanks to Tabitha Mwangi from Sales Support. She was extremely responsive and helpful before and after booking. She clearly explained the different safari packages and options available and answered all our questions regarding the trip details. Her support gave us confidence and made planning easy.
Our guide and driver, Yasin, played a huge role in making this safari unforgettable. He is highly knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated to giving guests the best wildlife experience possible.
During the game drives, Yasin continuously stayed connected on the radio network to receive updates about wildlife locations and movements. His quick coordination and excellent knowledge of the park allowed us to arrive at sightings at the right time and enjoy fantastic, clear views of the animals.
Beyond wildlife spotting, Yasin shared useful information about the animals and made every drive engaging and enjoyable.
The overall safari was well organized and delivered exactly what we hoped for and more. We left with amazing memories and would definitely recommend Axis Africa Safaris to anyone looking for a well-managed and enjoyable Masai Mara safari experience.
Thank you to Yasin and Tabitha for making our first Safari trip so special.

8-Day Safari with an outstanding guide
We had an amazing 8-day safari with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. Everything was well organized, communication was great, and the trip ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guide, Peter Kapino, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and could quickly spot and identify animals while sharing interesting facts and stories about them and the landscape. He was also kind, patient, and made sure we had the best experience every day. We saw so many incredible animals, and this was a trip we’ll never forget. I highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, especially Peter Kapino, to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Friendly, knowledgeable, and motivated to help us see the best.
We went on a tour with two vehicles with Sadam, Booh, and Charles and we had an awesome time in Amboseli. They did a great job getting us to sightings of cheetahs and lions while also making sure we were comfortable and had plenty of water.
Some of our group were particularly interested in identifying species of animals/birds. We rode in Sadam’s truck and he was great at identifying many of the species we encountered.
I would definitely recommend riding with these guys.

In Good Hands Every Step of the Way
I would give more than 5 stars if I could.
Our joining group safari with Axis Africa Safari was perfectly organized from start to finish. From the very beginning, you truly feel that you are in good hands. The team is professional, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about making your experience unforgettable.
Even though it was a joining group safari, everything was managed smoothly, and they found a way to accommodate everyone’s different needs. In my case, I needed a direct transfer to the airport, and they arranged it without affecting the rest of the group’s itinerary—something that is quite rare with many other tour operators. They also offer direct airport transfers at a very affordable price, which is an excellent additional service.
A special thanks to our guide, Yassin. He is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and well respected by all the other guides in the parks. You can immediately tell that he knows what he’s doing, and we always felt safe and confident with him. Thanks to his expertise, we had amazing wildlife sightings and an unforgettable safari experience.
What impressed me the most, however, was their support even after the safari had ended. I accidentally made an incorrect money transfer through M-Pesa, something that had absolutely nothing to do with their services. Despite this, they went out of their way to help me, offering both practical assistance and genuine moral support. Finding people who are so kind, honest, and willing to help, even when it’s not their responsibility, is truly rare.
I highly recommend Axis Africa Safari to anyone looking for a perfectly organized safari with a team you can genuinely trust. They consistently go above and beyond, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

It was an incredible, well-organized and careful experience.
I went to the Masai Mara with Axis Africa Safaris and the experience exceeded my expectations. The organization, attention to detail, and care for everyone on the tour were some of the things I would highlight most. In addition, our guide, Jack, was incredible. He knows so much about the animals, and thanks to him, we were able to see four of the "Big Five." I took the three-day tour from Nairobi, and the value for money was excellent.
