Axis Africa Safari are thorough professionals at managing safari expeditions
An Unforgettable 5-Day Safari with Axis Africa Safaris!
We had an incredible safari experience with Axis Africa Safaris from start to finish.
During the planning and booking stages, Ms. Maurine was outstanding. She was extremely professional, guiding us seamlessly through our schedule, itinerary options, lodge choices, and payment process. Upon our arrival in Kenya, she gave us a warm welcome and a thorough briefing before setting off on our 5-day tour.
Out on safari, our tour guide and driver, Mr. Khalifa Abdullah, was simply superb—quite frankly one of the best safari guides in Kenya! He knows the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru National Park like the back of his hand. Beyond his extraordinary eye for spotting wildlife, we were deeply impressed by his encyclopedic knowledge of animal species, their unique behaviors, and their natural habitats. He also enriched our journey with fascinating insights into the geology of the Rift Valley, the natural history of the parks, and the broader history of Kenya and East Africa.
Thanks to his expertise, we enjoyed multiple sightings of leopards, cheetahs, elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, vultures, hyenas, ostriches, hippos, and rhinos—along with witnessing a live kill as a pride of lions took down a wildebeest. With his deep understanding of the Mara and expert sense of timing, he placed us in the perfect spot to watch a live river crossing of wildebeests and zebras making their journey from Tanzania into Kenya.
It was a trip of a lifetime, and we cannot recommend Axis Africa Safaris enough!

An excellent safari operator for all budgets
After doing some research online I decided to book a budget 4 day 3 night Safari with Axis Africa Safaris. I had limited time in Kenya and wanted to see as much wildlife as possible. Highlights included two game drives in Masai Mara and visits to Lake Navaisha and Lake Nakuru National Park. The company was responsive with any questions I had prior to my arrival in Kenya. John Mwangi was our guide throughout the trip. John was a wonderful guide on our game drives. His driving skills and knowledge of the parks ensured we saw as much wildlife as possible during our time there. John continually kept the group informed of the day’s activities and he made sure everyone had a great time. I would not hesitate to recommend Axis and John as a guide to anyone looking for a safari while in Kenya.

The safari itself was truly wonderful and moving.
I lost my wallet at Ololaimutiek Village, and although it was returned 1–2 hours later, the cash inside (17 USD and 1,000 Kenyan shillings) was missing.
I would have appreciated support and a proper response from the guide and the tour company regarding this issue.
I believe that more attention should be given to advising guests about the safety and management of their valuables during the tour.

We had an absolutely amazing safari experience! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and it exceeded all of our expectations.
A very special thank you to our driver and guide, Amos. He was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire trip, drove safely and smoothly, and always knew exactly where to go. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five and many other amazing animals from incredibly close distances.
Amos has a great eye for spotting wildlife and took the time to make sure everyone had the best possible views and plenty of opportunities for photos. His passion for nature and wildlife made the experience even more enjoyable.
We couldn't have asked for a better guide or a better safari. We highly recommend this company, and if you have the chance, definitely ask for Amos—you won't be disappointed!

Amazing Kenya Safari for Our Honeymoon
We’ve just finished our 6‑day, 5‑night Kenya safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli.
Tabitha replied to emails very quickly. As it was our honeymoon, she arranged fresh flowers and coordinated with hotels for honeymoon decorations.
Our guide Collin Sempele, with more than 25 years of experience, knows animal habits and local weather very well. We saw the African Big Five and roughly 20‑30 species of animals. He gave us great tips for wildlife sightings and photography, and we got so many amazing shots.
We are very happy with this Kenya trip overall.
