It was like having a world class tracker as a driver!
Our tour guide, Ken, was amazing! He found us hidden treasures by following the ‘signs’ - he read the posture of the hyenas and was able to guide us to 2 sleeping lions - we were the only other ones there and that made it extra special! His expertise was also able to lead us to all the best sights. Overall, it was an excellent experience that is well worth the dollars spent!
Big 5 for great value!
We had a fantastic experience with Axis Africa Safaris and would absolutely recommend them for a great-value Kenyan safari. We chose a budget option and were really impressed with how well everything was organized and executed.
Our driver/guide, Peter Ngige, was excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and especially good at getting us into position quickly when animals were spotted. His ability to navigate and anticipate where the wildlife would be made a huge difference, and we were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five during our safari as well as the great migration.
Overall, Axis Africa offered an amazing safari experience at a very reasonable price. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife, felt well taken care of throughout the trip, and had a wonderful time. We would definitely use them again!

Once in a lifetime experience!
Ken has been the best guide we could have asked for! He is extremely knowledgeable and has been guiding Masai Mara tours for many years. He knows where to find the animals and got us up close to many lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, etc. He was so kind, made the trip very fun, and answered so many questions for us. Prior to arriving in Kenya, Tabitha was very responsive via email and answered all my questions about the various accommodations and tour options, etc. This has been an incredible experience and I would recommend Ken and Axis to anyone looking to explore the wildlife of the Masai Mara.

3 day Masai Mara game drive with Masai village visit
Thank you Axis Safari for unforgettable and amazing experience! Special thanks for our safari guide John Mwangi, who really put in extra effort in every aspect and enabled us to see and experience best of Masai Mara. Knows all the back roads, expert in a avoiding massive traffic, and first human alive to convince the Kenyan police that they were wrong 😊

Fantastic
Our Kenya trip with Axis Safari was honestly an incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was well organised, from the arrangements to the safari itself, and the whole experience was smooth, comfortable and beyond what we expected.
But what really made the trip extra special was our guide, Charles Pili Pili or as we call him, Angkor, meaning “brother.” ❤️
Angkor was honestly one of the best guides we could have asked for. He was extremely experienced, professional, knowledgeable and so much fun to be around. His knowledge of the wildlife was incredible from animal behaviour and tracking to the different parts of the Masai Mara, he always had something interesting to share.
And the best part? He somehow always knew where to take us. 🦁🐆🦒 From cheetahs getting ridiculously close to our Jeep, witnessing a leopard hunt, lions on the move and even the unforgettable wildebeest crossing we experienced moments that I’ll probably never forget.
What makes Angkor stand out is that he doesn’t just “drive you around.” He genuinely understands the wild. He knows when to wait, when to move, where to look and how to respect the animals and their environment. You can really feel his passion and experience every time he speaks about Kenya and its wildlife.
And of course, finding out that our guide is also a famous professional footballer was definitely a bonus! 😂⚽️ Safari guide by day, football legend by… apparently also day. 😂
Throughout the trip, Angkor was more than just our guide. He became our photographer, storyteller, wildlife expert, comedian and most importantly, our brother. ❤️
Huge thank you to Axis Safari for giving us such a memorable Kenya experience, and an even bigger thank you to Angkor for making it truly unforgettable.
If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, I would absolutely recommend Axis Safari and if you’re lucky enough to get Angkor, you’re in very good hands. 🇰🇪❤️
10/10 experience. Would do it all over again.
All the Best Charles Pili Pili / Angkor !

Amazing experience at amazing price
This tour was a fantastic experience and great value. Everything was organized, we just had to go along and enjoy the animals and beautiful nature. Our guide Peter Ndungu was very experienced and knew where to find the animals and get there fast! We got to see the big 5 (including baby lions!) and the great migration crossing the river. Highly recommend!

Our guide Mr. George Moulinge was exceptionally experienced and knew the region inside out.
Nice tour and well organized, safe and reliable.
Especially our guide Mr. George Moulinge was exceptionally experienced. On the very first morning, he managed to spot a lion for us! He also has a fantastic sense of timing, always knew when we needed a restroom break and planned the daily itinerary with absolute precision. Beyond his professional skills, he was genuinely kind and went above and beyond to help me out whenever I ran into trouble. I easily give him a 20/10! Because of him this trip is much more easier.
