Brilliant Experience Throughout
My family and I had a great time on Axis Africa’s safari tour, which covered the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru. We were able to see all of the animals we wanted to, checking off the big 5 as well as other exciting wildlife. The vehicle we were in allowed us to easily view all the animals at a close distance, and was comfortable too. Our tour guide, Tom, spoke amazing English, providing us with interesting facts and information about all the flora or fauna we witnessed. Not only that, but outside of the park, Tom was amazing at engaging in conversation - his willingness and ability to talk about the Kenyan lifestyle making the longer journeys fly by! I would thoroughly recommend the entire trip.

James Gichina, the best guide!
I am a solo female traveller. I chose Axis safari for 5 nights Masaimara, Nakuru and Amboseli tour because they were very good at communication. they answered my inquiries promptly and made me feel comfortable to travel with them.
My group was such a friendly people and our guide ,James Gichina, was the best game driver, spotter and guide ever!! I could see it from how other cars drive to find exotic animals!
He is also very knowledgeable of wild life, you ask any questions, he will be your Chat GPT.
My only hope is he will be my guide till my last day! At the moment we are not sure. But plz Axis if you see this review, let him be my guide to Amboseli!

I would describe Axis Africa Safaris as a professional, reliable, and customer-focused tour operator
If you are booking a safari with Axis Africa Safaris, you absolutely have to request Charles Pilipili as your guide and driver! From start to finish, Mr. Pilipili was kind, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly fun to be around. He taught us so much throughout the entire trip, from the animals we encountered and their behaviors to the land, wildlife, and rich Maasai culture and traditions. His incredible knowledge of the area and wildlife gave us the opportunity to see so many amazing animals and understand not just what we were seeing, but why they behaved the way they did. Mr. Pilipili went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience, always making sure we were comfortable, well taken care of, and safe throughout the entire trip. His attentiveness and responsibility gave us complete peace of mind, while his adventurous personality and Maasai pride made every day even more memorable. We truly felt that we were learning something new every day and gained a much deeper appreciation for Kenya, its wildlife, and its people. We left with incredible memories that will last a lifetime. You will truly not regret any part of your experience. Asante sana, Mr. Pilipili and the Axis Africa team!

Best Safari experience
We had a 6 days Safari with Axis to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. We took a shared safari and wouldn’t change it for the private one. It was wonderful to have new friends to talk to and to share the safari experience with. Peter Mungai our Axis sales operator answered all of our questions quikly and we were secured about all the pick up details. Our driver Mohamed was wonderful - he was great driver and also great safari guide. You can tell that He is really enjoying what He is doing. Mohamed made sure that we complete the big five and see everything that we wanted to. He told us a lot about the animals, but also about living in Kenya and all the different stuff we asked about. We were travelling in a new Toyota land cruiser Safari car which was also great. We were staying in Wildest Camp near Masai Mara, Hill Court Hotel near Nakuru and Mountain View Camp near Amboseli. All the places were better than expected for the budget safari. Only in the first camp the hot water was limited, but its understandable. The food through the Safari also was good and there was plenty of it. Best Safari experience that You will get. We recommed You to take Safari with Axis and of course with our guide Mohamed.

Very enjoyable experience
We did a 4 day safari with Roger as our guide. He was very informative and helpful. We managed to see most of the animals the safari had to offer including the big 5 and that was of no doubt due to Rogers experience and connections in the park.

A Truly Memorable Safari Experience from Start to Finish
This was my first safari, and I could not have asked for a better experience.
Before the trip, Tabitha was incredibly responsive and provided comprehensive information whenever I had questions. Her clear and helpful communication gave me great peace of mind, especially as a first-time safari traveler.
Our guide, Jack, was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of the animals was extensive, and thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to see all of the Big Five. He always positioned the vehicle carefully so that we could get the best possible views and take great photos. One of my favorite moments was simply watching the sunset together over the plains, with a herd of wildebeest in front of us. Moments like that made the experience truly special.
Jack also drove very safely and always made us feel comfortable during the journey, so we could relax and fully enjoy the safari.
Overall, I have no complaints at all. Everything went smoothly, and thanks to Tabitha and Jack, this became one of the highlights of my life. I would highly recommend this operator to anyone, especially first-time safari travelers.
Khalifa was the best

Amazing 6-Day Safari Experience
We had an amazing 6-day safari experience, and I would highly recommend this tour operator to anyone planning a safari.
A special thank you to Tabitha, who was very helpful and accommodating throughout the trip, and to our guide and driver, Khalifa, who made the safari even more enjoyable. Khalifa was an excellent driver and guide, with great knowledge of the animals, the terrain, and the best places to explore. We always felt safe and well taken care of.
The game drives were fantastic, and the atmosphere was made even more enjoyable with local music playing during our trips. Khalifa was also very flexible when we wanted to change our schedule or do things differently. He went out of his way to help us arrange taxis, communicate with local camps, and make sure everything worked smoothly.
Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable safari, thanks in large part to the excellent service and flexibility of Tabitha and Khalifa. 5/5 — highly recommended!
