Stop Searching. Book with Axis.
If you’re anything like I was, spending hours researching safari companies, stop now and book with Axis!
From the moment I reached out on WhatsApp, Tabitha was kind, responsive, and incredibly helpful. She answered all my questions and helped me customize the right safari package for me and my dad.
When it came time for the safari itself, Khalifa was the best guide we could have asked for. He took the time to understand what we were most excited to see and genuinely went above and beyond to make our week unforgettable. Along the way, he taught us so much, not just about the wildlife, but about Kenyan culture, Swahili, and his own life and experiences.
He always knew the best places to be and the best times to be there. Time and time again, our Land Cruiser ended up in the perfect position for incredible wildlife encounters, from zebras giving birth and elephants crossing the road to lions feasting at dawn and thousands of wildebeests during the Great Migration.
The mid-range luxury accommodations met our expectations, and the included meals were great throughout the trip.
I can’t recommend Axis enough. If you can, ask for Khalifa. You won’t regret it!

Great Experience in Masai Mara
We had a great time on our Masai Mara safari and managed to see everything we could have hoped for. Our tour guide was professional and knowledgeable, and the accommodation at Flair Camp was comfortable.
Responsive and reliable
Axis worked with us to create a custom family trip that included walking and biking safaris, half- and fullday game drives, and a visit to a Masai village. Our guide Richard Nkoile was incredibly apt at finding and predicting where all the animal action was going to be, providing incredible photo opportunities, and keeping us away from the crowds. Axis provided a comfortable landcruiser with pop up roof. Richard was a very skilled driver, and attentive and knowledgeable guide. We saw the big 5, thousands of wildebeest and zebra, many species of antelope and birds, and learned a lot about the land and its culture.

The tour operator was highly professional and well-organized
We had an amazing four-day safari with John Mwangi. He was professional and friendly. His knowledge, and positive attitude made every game drive enjoyable.
There is simply no one better than John. Je is always one step ahead. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
Thank you, John, for making our safari an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend him!

A very good tour operator for Kenya safaris.
We had an incredibly wonderful safari with Axis Safaris and would book them again in a heartbeat! Our route took us through the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli National Park – each and every park was simply breathtaking, and we experienced so many unforgettable moments.
The biggest highlight, however, was definitely our guide, Peter Kapino. He was absolutely amazing! Thanks to him, we saw so many incredible animals. He always knew exactly where we needed to go and went to great lengths to ensure we got the best spot and the best view of the animals. This allowed us to really observe the animals and take incredibly beautiful photos.
Peter was also super funny, incredibly warm, and always in a great mood. You could immediately tell how much experience he had and how passionate he was about his job. No matter how long we were out, he was always motivated and gave his all to ensure we had the best safari ever.
Many thanks to Axis Safaris for this unforgettable trip, and a very special thank you to Peter Kapino! He made our safari truly special. If you're traveling with Axis Safaris, be sure to ask for Peter – you definitely won't regret it!

Best safari guide ever!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Peter Kapino is, without a doubt, the best safari guide we could have ever wished for!
From the very first moment we met Peter, we knew we were in the best hands. He is not only an incredibly experienced and knowledgeable guide but also one of the kindest, funniest, and most genuine people we have ever met.
Peter made our dream trip to Kenya even more special than we could have imagined. Every single day was perfectly organized, and he always went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. His passion for wildlife, nature, and his beautiful country is truly inspiring, and you can truly see how much he loves what he does.
Thanks to Peter’s incredible knowledge and exceptional spotting skills, we were lucky enough to see so many amazing animals, including the Big Five! He always knew exactly where to go, explained everything in detail, and made every game drive exciting, educational, and unforgettable. We learned so much about the animals, their behavior, and Kenyan culture, which made the entire experience even more meaningful.
What impressed us the most was how much Peter genuinely cared about us. He always made sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying every moment of our journey. He was patient, professional, respectful, and always greeted us with a warm smile. His positive attitude and great sense of humor made every single day even more enjoyable.
Even during the longer drives, there was never a dull moment. Peter shared fascinating stories, answered every question we had, and made us laugh countless times. By the end of our trip, he no longer felt like just our guide—he felt like a friend.
His driving skills were outstanding, even on the most challenging roads, and we always felt completely safe. His professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail are truly exceptional.
This safari exceeded every expectation we had, and Peter was the biggest reason why. He created memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
If you are planning a safari in Kenya, ask for Peter Kapino. You will not find a better guide. We recommend him with all our hearts and without a single hesitation. He is passionate, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to giving every guest the best safari experience possible.
Thank you, Peter, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our Kenyan adventure so magical and unforgettable. We hope to return to Kenya one day, and when we do, we sincerely hope to explore this beautiful country with you again.
You are not only an outstanding guide but also an amazing person. Thank you for giving us memories that will stay with us forever. Asante sana, Peter! We wish you all the happiness and success you truly deserve. 🇰🇪❤️

One of a kind
Our one-week safari with Axis Africa Safaris exceeded every expectation we had. Having already been on several safaris before, we know what makes a truly exceptional safari experience. Because of that, we can confidently say that Peter Kapino is, without a doubt, the best safari driver and guide we have ever had.
From the very first day until the last, Peter was with us every step of the way, making sure we had the best possible experience. He always listened to our wishes, adapted the game drives to our interests, and went above and beyond to ensure every day was special. We never felt like just another group of tourists—he genuinely cared about giving us the safari of a lifetime.
During our journey through the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli National Park, Peter’s knowledge, experience, and incredible instincts made all the difference. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see not only the Big Five, but also cheetahs, rhinos, and many other rare and fascinating animals. Every single game drive was filled with unforgettable wildlife encounters because Peter always seemed to know exactly where to go and when to be there.
One of the things that impressed us the most was how well connected Peter is with other guides. He constantly exchanged information about wildlife sightings, which gave us a huge advantage throughout the safari. However, it wasn’t just his network that made the difference—it was his experience, patience, and ability to read animal behavior. Time and time again, he positioned us perfectly for incredible sightings and amazing photo opportunities.
Beyond being an outstanding guide, Peter is also an incredibly kind, professional, and friendly person. He always made us feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. His passion for wildlife and for giving his guests the best possible experience is obvious in everything he does. It is rare to meet someone who enjoys his job so much and puts so much effort into making every single day unforgettable.
We would also like to thank Axis Africa Safaris for organizing such a perfectly planned safari. Everything ran smoothly, and the entire trip was professionally organized from beginning to end. But without a doubt, the biggest reason this safari became one of the best trips we have ever taken was Peter Kapino.
If you are planning a safari with Axis Africa Safaris, we sincerely hope you get Peter Kapino as your guide. He is an absolute professional, an outstanding wildlife expert, and someone who truly cares about his guests. He transformed an already amazing safari into an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Thank you, Peter, and thank you, Axis Africa Safaris, for an incredible week that we will remember forever. We cannot recommend both the company and especially Peter Kapino highly enough. If we return to Kenya for another safari, there is only one guide we would want to travel with: Peter Kapino.
Absolutely deserving of 5 stars!

the best safari guide i ever had
there are safari guides, and then there is peter kapino.
having been on several safaris before, i know how much the guide shapes the entire experience. after spending an unforgettable week with peter kapino, i can honestly say that he is by far the best safari guide and driver i have ever had. he didn’t just take us on game drives, he created memories that will stay with me for a lifetime.
from the very first day, peter treated us like family rather than customers. one of my favorite memories actually came at the very beginning of our safari, when each of us got surprised with an axis africa safaris t-shirt. it was such a thoughtful and personal welcome, and it immediately made us feel valued and excited for the adventure ahead. this small gesture perfectly reflected the warmth, generosity, and kindness that peter showed us throughout the entire week.
every single day, peter went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible safari experience. he never made us feel rushed and was always happy to adjust the game drives according to our wishes and interests. his goal was never just to show us animals, it was to give us an unforgettable experience.
what truly sets peter kapino apart is that he doesn’t simply rely on the radio like many other guides. of course, he stays connected with other drivers, but he also uses his own incredible knowledge, experience, and instincts to track wildlife himself. some of our most memorable sightings happened because peter trusted his expertise, explored different areas, and found animals on his own. it was clear that he wasn’t just following other vehicles, he was leading the way.
throughout our journey across the masai mara, lake naivasha, lake nakuru, and amboseli national park, peter gave us the very best wildlife experience we could have hoped for. thanks to him, we saw not only the big five, but also cheetahs, rhinos, and many other incredible and rare animals. thanks to peter, we experienced the great wildebeest migration not just once, but twice, something we will never forget. one of the absolute highlights was watching a cheetah during a hunt, an experience that very few people are lucky enough to witness. even more incredibly, on our very first day in the masai mara, peter helped us find all of the big five. we could hardly believe it, and it immediately became clear that we were in the hands of an exceptional guide.
every single game drive felt exciting because peter always seemed to know where to look and never stopped searching until he was satisfied that we had experienced something truly special.
as someone who enjoys photography, i was especially impressed by the care peter took to position the vehicle perfectly. he always searched for the best angles, carefully considered the direction of the sunlight, and made sure we had outstanding opportunities for photos. at the same time, he never compromised the welfare of the animals. he treated every animal with great respect, never disturbed them, and always kept an appropriate distance. his respect for nature made every sighting even more meaningful.
another thing that touched me was how thoughtful peter was throughout the entire trip. during the hottest parts of the day, he always made sure to find shaded spots whenever possible so that we could stay comfortable while enjoying the wildlife. it is these small details that made such a big difference. he constantly thought about our comfort without us ever having to ask, and these thoughtful gestures perfectly reflect the kind of person he is, someone who genuinely cares about his guests and always puts their experience first.
what impressed me just as much was his dedication. peter never looked at the clock. if staying out a little longer meant giving us a better chance of seeing something extraordinary, he happily did so. he always gave us every possible minute of our game drives and never made us feel rushed. it was obvious that giving his guests the best possible experience was far more important to him than simply finishing on time. that level of dedication is incredibly rare and deserves special recognition.
i would also like to thank axis africa safaris for organizing such an outstanding safari. everything was perfectly planned and professionally managed from start to finish. however, without any doubt, the biggest reason this became the best safari i have ever experienced was peter kapino.
if you are booking with axis africa safaris, i sincerely hope you have the opportunity to travel with peter kapino. he is knowledgeable, professional, respectful, passionate, incredibly hardworking, and genuinely one of the kindest people i have met. he doesn’t just show you kenya’s wildlife, he gives you an experience that exceeds every expectation.
thank you, peter kapino, for your dedication, your kindness, your respect for wildlife, and for making this the safari of a lifetime. by the end of the week, it honestly felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend rather than just our guide. if i ever return to kenya, there is only one guide i would want to travel with again, and that is peter kapino.
five stars simply aren’t enough.

Amazing
Our Kenya safari was absolutely fantastic! Everything was perfectly organized by the tour operator and ran seamlessly. A huge shoutout to Peter Kudoni—hands down the best guide we’ve ever had! Thanks to him, we had incredible wildlife sightings, including the complete Big Five. Truly an unforgettable journey!
The perfect safari with the perfect guides
We had a wonderful safari with Yasin and Jumbe, they were very kind, respectful and they enjoyed with us every single day we went on safari.
