Reliable tour managers for ground level expertise in Safari expeditions
From the time we came in touch with our tour operator (Axis Africa expedition and safaris) they came across as a highly professional group with excellent standards of planning & execution.
We toured lakes Naivasha and Nakuru with our guides Mr. Kevin Apide and Mr.Ahmed.
Both of them were very polite and considerate; they took great pains to bring us in contact with a variety of wildlife.
Later we proceeded to Masai Mara with them and stayed at Talek Bush camp; it was an excellent place to stay close to the vast grasslands of Masai.
Later we saw plenty of wildlife especially the including some of the Wildebeest migration which was truly awesome.
I would recommend Axis Africa expedition and safaris to anyone who wishes to experience wildlife in East Africa.

Excellent
We had an absolutely incredible experience in the Masai Mara, and a huge part of that was because of our wonderful guide, John Mwangi.
From the very beginning, John was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. His knowledge of the wildlife, the Mara, and the behaviour of the animals made every game drive so much more meaningful. He always seemed to know where to go and, just as importantly, when to be patient and let nature unfold naturally.
What impressed us most was his dedication to making sure we had the best possible experience. He was incredibly attentive, answered all our questions with enthusiasm, and made sure we were comfortable throughout. His sharp eyes and experience helped us spot animals .
Beyond his knowledge and skills as a guide, John was simply a wonderful person to spend time with. His kindness, knowledge about wildlife and genuine love for the Mara made every day special. We came for the wildlife, but we left with unforgettable memories and a real appreciation for our guide
We feel very lucky to have had him as our guide. Thank you, John Mwangi, for making our safari such a memorable and unforgettable experience!
Best experience ever

Unforgettable 3-Day Masai Mara Safari with an Exceptional Guide
We had an amazing 3-day, 2-night safari in the Masai Mara, and the whole experience was incredibly well organized from beginning to end.
A special mention goes to our guide, John Mwangi — he was absolutely amazing and by far the best guide we could have asked for. He knows the park inside and out and made sure we saw all of the Big Five, as well as many other animals throughout our safari.
What really impressed us was his knowledge and experience during the game drives. He always positioned the vehicle perfectly to give us the best possible view while keeping a respectful distance from the animals. He also seemed to know exactly where the animals were going to move and what was likely to happen next. It made the whole experience feel truly special.
John also took great care of us throughout the entire trip and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment.
Highly recommended! We had an unforgettable experience and would definitely use John again in the future — especially when we come back with our family. 🦁🐘🐆🦏🐃
Thank you, John, for making our Masai Mara safari such an incredible experience!

Excellent planning, superb guides, and a truly memorable safari experience.
Our 3-day Masai Mara safari booked through Axis Africa was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Working with Jackline during the planning process was a pleasure. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and responsive, answering all of our questions and managing every detail flawlessly.
Our guide, Kelvin Njamia, made this trip truly unforgettable. Kelvin is passionate about the Masai Mara, incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystem, and dedicated to providing the best possible experience. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, cheetahs, hyenas, wildebeest, zebras, and so much more than we anticipated. It was amazing to witness so many animals living their lives freely across the beautiful savannah.
One of the best decisions we made was booking a private safari. While it costs a bit more, it was absolutely worth it. We were able to decide how we wanted to spend our time, stay longer at sightings that interested us, and enjoy every game drive at our own pace. Being able to experience everything from the comfort of our own vehicle made the safari even more enjoyable and personalized.
We stayed at Mara Chui Lodge, which was a great base for our adventure.
We are so grateful to Jackline for organizing everything perfectly and especially to Kelvin for sharing his passion and helping us experience the very best of the Masai Mara. We will be recommending Axis Africa, Jackline, and Kelvin to all our friends and family. If you're considering a safari, don't hesitate to book with them!
An unforgettable experience and worth every penny.

Very organized and attentive
Axis Africa is a very organized company; the prices are fair and their are very clear on the communication since the beggining, specially Rita. Everyone speaks english well, and they actively try to help solve all issues you may find. I got a 4 days Masai Mara only tour, and the guides George and Mohamed were both very good at their job. They are highly communicative with the other guides and are extremely used to the park, so can quickly hop on a good spot. I could see almost all animals you can find on the park (including lions, cheetah and leopards). The budget camp is - indeed - not luxury, nevertheless it was clean, secure and the food was good. The only thing to notice is that on the small packages with shared game drives you will be focoused on viewing as much animals as possible, and not on seeing action and spotting the animals yourself - which is understandable. Overall, I highly recommend the company.

Phenomenal.
Unforgettable, Seamless Safari Experience – Axis Delivered the Trip of a Lifetime!
We recently returned from an extraordinary safari with Axis, and calling it the "experience of a lifetime" is an understatement. From initial planning to the final game drive, everything was handled with utmost professionalism and care.
Flawless Planning with Jackie
Our coordinator, Jackie, is an absolute pro. She listened closely to our goals and worked magic to design a wonderful, seamless itinerary that fit perfectly within our budget and timeframe. Her communication and attention to detail made the entire planning process completely stress-free.
The Ultimate Guide: Kelvin Njamia
Once on the ground, our guide Kelvin made the trip truly remarkable. His deep knowledge of the landscape, plant life, and animal behavior is incredible, but his expertise goes far beyond tracking wildlife:
Insider Connections: Kelvin's strong professional relationships with other drivers and park staff unlocked special, unique viewing opportunities we otherwise would have missed.
Thoughtful Touches: Every day featured a picturesque picnic lunch set up under a stunning, shaded tree in the wild.
Warm Hospitality: Kind, thoughtful, and bringing a wealth of experience, Kelvin ensured we felt safe, engaged, and well cared for every single day.
If you are considering a safari, book with Axis without hesitation. We will be recommending Jackie, Kelvin, and the whole Axis team to all of our friends and family!
