Richard is an exceptional, knowledgeable safari guide with top-notch wildlife spotting skills!
I recently returned from a 3-day Maasai Mara trip (September 5–7, 2026) booked with Axis Africa Expeditions, and the experience exceeded expectations across every metric.
1. Communications & Planning: From the very first inquiry, their team was incredibly prompt, clear, and proactive. They answered all questions thoroughly, making the booking process completely seamless and reassuring.
2. Reliability: Everything ran like clockwork. Pickups, transfers, and daily game drive itineraries were right on schedule, showing total professionalism throughout the entire journey.
3. Service & The Tour: Our guide, Richard, was fantastic. He brought deep knowledge of the park, patience, and incredible animal-spotting skills to every game drive, making the tour both thrilling and informative.
4. Value for Money: Considering the level of personal attention, top-tier service, smooth logistics, and quality of the entire safari, it offered outstanding overall value.
I highly recommend booking with Axis Africa Expeditions and requesting Richard as your guide for an unforgettable trip to Kenya!

Khalifa was very insightful on all the animals aswell as the culture of areas we travelled through
Khalifa our driver really made the trip! Always full of energy and made sure everyone saw as much as possible, we saw so much more than we thought we would, the Masai Mara was definitely the highlight. The accomodation was nicer than expected and we felt like everyone was so inviting and looked after us so well. Would definitely recommend to us this company.

Extraordinary
It was an unforgettable experience from day one when they picked us up at the hotel and throughout every moment of the safari. Their ability to exceed expectations was incredible. The guide was super attentive and friendly, showing great consideration for each traveler on the safari. For me, it's a perfect 10 out of 10.

Lovely and dedicated guide made sure we could see everything!
Our tour with Khalifa was amazing! He was extremely dedicated, and did absolutely everything in his power to make sure we could see everything on our list. Lions interacting with each other, a leopard up in a tree, lots of rhinos, hippos fighting, and too many elephants to count! The other groups failed to see the great migration so late in the season, but Khalifa was meticulous in finding the right place at the right time - and we witnessed it!

The best
After having a few problems with my connecting flight my expectations were not too high
After meeting my guide Mohammed my mood started to get better
Axis is very professional and has even better employees
I don’t usually recommend anyone or anything but I would recommend axis and of course my Gide Mohammed, who I kindly renamed “PAPI CHULO “
After experiencing the excellent service he provided I’ve raised my expectations a lot higher than I had before
Way to go Mohammed “papi chulo “
This world needs more people like you

Absolutely incredible experience and company!
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Axis Africa Safaris! We booked a custom 5-day private budget safari with slightly upgraded mid-range accommodations in the Maasai Mara, which allowed us to visit the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli—and it was an absolutely amazing value for everything that was included.
All of our accommodations and meals were taken care of, we had warm showers every night, the food was great, and the staff everywhere we stayed were incredibly welcoming. If you’re looking for a safari that gives you an authentic experience at an incredible price without sacrificing comfort, this was the perfect balance.
The absolute highlight, though, was our guide, Mohammad. He was exceptional—knowledgeable, kind, patient, and incredibly dedicated to making sure we saw as much wildlife as possible. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five within our first two days, along with some truly once-in-a-lifetime moments including a cheetah hunting a gazelle, multiple families of elephants crossings, rare black rhinos, and a wildebeest river crossing.
For a private safari covering three incredible parks in only five days, we could not believe how much we were able to experience. Amazing value, wonderful accommodations and staff, and an unforgettable guide. We would recommend Axis—and especially Mohammad—to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

Trip of a lifetime!! Highly recommend!
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Axis Africa Safaris. From beginning to end they went above and beyond to give us the trip of a lifetime!
Our guide, Mohammad, was absolutely exceptional. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, but he is also one of the kindest, most genuine people we have met. By the end of our safari, he felt less like our tour guide and more like a friend—one we feel incredibly lucky to have made in Kenya.
Mohammad’s dedication to making sure we experienced as much as possible was unparalleled. He somehow helped us see the Big Five within our first two days in the Maasai Mara, and the incredible wildlife encounters just kept coming. We watched a cheetah hunt a gazelle in Amboseli, saw families of more than 20 elephants at a time crossing together with their babies, spotted rare black rhinos in the Maasai Mara on our first afternoon game drive, saw hyenas eat a baby giraffe feet away from us, and had unbelievably close encounters with white rhinos in Lake Nakuru. And those are just a few of the moments we’ll be talking about for years to come. Mohammad seemed to know exactly where to be and when to be there, and his excitement for every sighting made the experience even more special.
We also owe a huge thank you to Tabitha at Axis. We had unexpected issues with our flights into Kenya that significantly shortened our trip and could have completely derailed our plans. Instead, Tabitha immediately jumped into action, rearranging reservations and making last-minute changes so that we could still experience everything that mattered most to us. Her flexibility, responsiveness, and willingness to make it all work took so much stress out of an already stressful situation.
What could have easily turned into a disappointing trip because of circumstances completely outside of anyone’s control instead became one of the most incredible experiences of our lives—and that is entirely thanks to the care, effort, and dedication of Mohammad, Tabitha, and the Axis team.
If you are considering a safari in Kenya, book with Axis—and if you have the opportunity we could not recommend Mohammad more!! We cannot thank Mohammad and Tabitha enough for giving us memories we will cherish forever. Truly the trip of a lifetime!
