Amazing experience and fantastic operator
We are a family of three. Parents with their 8-year-old son.
Everything went as planned. In this case, we discussed everything we had agreed to with Jackeline.
A good price compared to other operators, and they honor everything they previously told you about, including the places you'll stay and any additional costs for activities if you decide finaly to participate.
The only drawback is that when we arrived at the office, they told us that paying for the safari with a card would require a percentage of the bank fee, even though we had paid with a prepaid card enabled for payments on all continents without bank fees. They should have let us know beforehand, since it wouldn't have been a problem if I had brought cash.
The guide (Kevin)—I think that's how it's spelled—was a great safari with him. He's a wonderful guide, attentive to everyone in the group, including my 8-year-old son, who had other needs. He did everything he could to help us see all the wonderful animals we saw in their purest form and constantly informed us of all the relevant information about each animal. Very helpful....
Overall, everything went perfectly!!!
You have a family in Spain who is grateful to have met you!!
I don't want to forget to mention how lucky we were to meet the rest of the tourists in the group riding in the Jeep for a five-day safari. They were equally incredible.
Thank you so much!!

Great experience
Everything went so smoothly on our three-day trip to the Maasai Mara! Communication with the agency was easy on WhatsApp, and Tabitha replied quickly. We chose Option 2 and stayed at Wild Nest Mara Camp. It opened six months ago—spotless and friendly.
The safari was a blast. Our driver, Albatt, knows the park very well (he’s been guiding for over eight years). He worked hard to get us great sightings and often drove to spots without spoilers, so it felt like I was finding the animals myself—loved that.
I recommend this tour. Two days of safari felt full while keeping costs down—real value for money. It was my first safari!

An Unforgettable Kenyan Safari Adventure!
My partner and I recently returned from a phenomenal 5-day safari with Axis Africa Safaris, and we can't recommend them enough. From start to finish, the trip exceeded all our expectations.
Our journey took us through some of Kenya's most breathtaking parks: Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Hell's Gate. Each location offered a unique and incredible experience. We were fortunate to witness the sheer beauty of the Great Migration in the Mara and spotted countless animals, including the "Big Five." The landscapes were stunning, and the accommodation was top-notch, providing a perfect blend of comfort and immersion in nature.
The true highlight of our trip, however, was our fantastic guide, Amo. His passion for wildlife and extensive knowledge of the parks were truly remarkable. Amo's keen eye and patience ensured we got the best possible views of the animals. He was not only professional and highly skilled but also incredibly friendly and fun to be around. He made every day an adventure and shared fascinating insights that enriched our understanding of Kenya's culture and ecosystem.
A big thank you to Axis Africa Safaris for organizing such a seamless and memorable trip. If you're looking for an authentic and unforgettable safari experience, do yourself a favor and book with them. And if you're lucky enough to get Amo as your guide, you're in for an absolute treat!

Best safari
Going on safari with Axis Africa Safaris was a great choice. Everything went according to plan and we were well taken care of throughout the whole trip. We chose a 5-day safari — the driver picked us up at our accommodation, everything was explained to us at the office, and then our adventure began.
Our driver Amos was fantastic — he drove safely, was professional, and the journey with him was never boring. We really appreciated that he knew Masai Mara as well as the other parks, so we managed to see the “Big 5” and many other fascinating animals in their natural environment.
Besides the wildlife parks, we also enjoyed a great program with walking safari, boat trip, bikes, and we learned a lot from the local guides. We’re glad that the safari with this company fully met our expectations.

A walk to remember…
I was here with Amo from Axis for my very memorable 40th birthday trip! No words can describe the feeling, but I can say its probably one of the best thing i have done for myself! Extremely lucky with a great and humorous guide, Amo! 😂 Extremely grateful for every arrangement in a timely manner! I would recommend Axis anytime of the day for anyone anytime. Thank you Amos!

Outstanding Safari Guide – Highly Recommended
I had the pleasure of doing a safari in Masai Mara with Peter (Ngigi) as my guide, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Peter’s warm personality and good humor made every moment enjoyable. He was always in a great mood, creating a positive atmosphere throughout the trip.
What impressed me the most was his deep knowledge of the animals and the ecosystem of Masai Mara. Peter was able to spot wildlife that we would never have seen on our own, and he always shared fascinating information about their behavior, habits, and the park itself. Thanks to him, we had unforgettable sightings and learned so much along the way.
Peter is not only a professional guide but also someone who truly cares about making the safari special. His passion for nature and wildlife is contagious, and it turned our trip into an unforgettable adventure.
I highly recommend Peter/Ngigi as a safari guide — he is outstanding!

Excellent tour with Axis
We asked Axis to organize for us a tour composed by a 7 days safari and 5 days in Diani Beach.
Everything has been perfect, the communications with Rita before e during the trip, the camps and lodges and expecially the drivers. Mr. Hassan was our driver in the safari and he gave us a lot of informations about the Parks and the animals. With him we have seen all the big five and the ugly five!
All the transfer have been safe and well organised, from our arrival until the drop off to the airport at the end of our holidays.
Thank you to Rita and Axis staff for their job!

An amazing safari adventure with Axis Africa Expeditions & Safaris - one we will never ever forget!!
Our adventure started some months ago when a very good friend mentioned going to Kenya with her 2 sons in the summer, and I thought "oh wow what an amazing experience it would be for my son and I" as we'd not yet been on a safari. I asked if we could tag along and after 7 amazing days in Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha (including Cresent Island boat ride & walk) & Amboseli I couldn't have imagined anything better/different.
My friend had done her research and already had a good idea of the 'must see' places. She contacted several operators but Monica, our safari organiser from Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, adjusted the itinerary to our wishes and was always available to answer all our questions promptly, by email and on WhatsApp. The package also included a reduced price for our boys (12-13 years), tented camps as our accommodation as we wished to provide the boys with a more realistic experience, and hotel/airport transfers. Monica even arranged last minute airport transfers to our hotel since we arrived late the night before. Harun and Maurice, our aiport/hotel drivers, who patiently waited for us at the airport/hotel, were reachable on WhatsApp and extremely courteous.
As for the safari experience itself, there are no words to express how amazing it really was and even more amazing was the driver and guide assigned to us. With his orange goatee and smiling eyes, Yasin was the perfect match for our 3 boisterous boys and their 2 no-nonsense mums. He's an extraordinary driver and traffic/rough terrain navigator, he's extremely kind, patient and gentlemanly, and has exceptional abilities to get you to the right spots during the game drives. Besides the big 5, which we crossed off our list in the 1st 3 days, we also saw a numerous wild animals and birds in different habitat. The climate varied from cold and wet to hot and dusty. Yasin is very knowledgeable about all animals, birds and the surroundings, and answered every single question we had. I honestly thought the boys would be bored on the long game drives and journeys between parks, but they enjoyed every minute of it also thanks to Yasin who is also very capable with kids, always managing to get their attention by asking the right questions to lure them in.
Yasin also ensured smooth check-ins and that we did not miss a single meal while travelling between parks or when out the entire day. And on the last day, when our flight got delayed by 3 hours he offered to take us for a tour of Kobe Tough beads & leather and also the Giraffe Centre.
Finally, I must mention the tented camps we stayed at - Wild Nest Mara Camp in Maasai Mara and Manjaro Tented Camp in Amboseli - both of which were superior to the example pictures Monica had shared with us. The staff was always extremely friendly and welcoming. The food was always freshly prepared, and the tented rooms were large and had warm water and comfortable beds.
It definitely couldn't have been any better. Thank you so much Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris ❤️
