Best experience ever, best guide tours ever, highly recommended
Saddam and Booh were the best, i did 7 days itinerary with Axis and i absolutely love it, from the sunset in the masai mara to the balloon to the masai village… all the activities are worthy! And the guide tours have been amazing… also, Axis helped me with my luggage that was stuck in Nairobi, extra service that i appreciate it!

Mimi was an amazing, knowledgeable, and caring guide who made our safari unforgettable.
We went on safari at the end of August, and it was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! Everything was planned and organised incredibly well, and the staff were so welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay. The hospitality was exceptional, and there was a fantastic variety of delicious food served throughout our trip.
A special mention has to go to our amazing tour guide, **Mimi Kelvin**, who truly made our safari experience unforgettable. From the very beginning, Mimi was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and patient. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, and you could really see how much he cared about making sure we had the best possible experience.
Mimi went above and beyond to make the most of every moment of our safari. He was always attentive to what we wanted to see and made sure we had the best opportunities to see the wildlife. He was also very patient and never made us feel rushed, taking the time to explain everything to us and answer all of our questions.
What really stood out was how dedicated he was throughout the entire experience. He made sure we were comfortable, looked after us so well, and genuinely wanted us to enjoy every part of the trip. His knowledge, kindness, humour, and professionalism made such a difference. We learned so much from him, and he made the experience feel personal rather than just like a standard tour.
Honestly, without Mimi, our safari would not have been anywhere near as special. He played such an important part in creating memories that we will remember for a very long time. We are incredibly grateful for all his hard work, patience, and effort in making our trip so enjoyable.
A huge thank you to Mimi Kelvin and the entire team for an incredible safari experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari!

Recommended tour operator
We had a great safari trip through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. We took the budget 6day safari with slightly increased comfort in Masai Mara. Our guide, Kelvin, was very caring and did a fantastic job spotting all kinds of wildlife for us. The camps we stayed at were also nice and comfortable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend Kelvin as a guide!

Absolutely fantastic - everything was handled very well. Great experience
Everything was run very well and smoothly. It was a very professional experience. The accommodations were excellent, especially the Sopa lodges. Felt very reliable and safe, everything was on time and efficient. Our guide Rogers was simply fantastic - he made sure we didnt leave the safari before seeing all the big 5. His knowledge of the parks and animals was fantastic and he created a great experience for us. He was very friendly and a great guide during the whole trip. I would highly recommend Axis to any first time visitors to Kenya.

Well organised
Axis is very reliable and well organised tour operator, their choice of resorts is very good, more importantly the tour guide / driver of Land Cruiser (Roger) is excellent. Roger is very good and has a very good understanding of the entire safari park (s) and he is so good in spotting big 5 animals and reach there so quickly to get a glimpse of the animal. Roger is an excellent tour guide and made our safari experience memorable.

Roger was a great guide, fast, resourceful, and educational.
Roger was a great operator to have for the safari! He was always willing to give us all the time we needed for pictures and enjoyment, and more importantly would go the extra mile to ensure we had a good experience. His fast, quick response time, and resourcefulness made sure we were close to the action at all times wherever it was. 10/10 would recommend Axis and Roger for your safari!

Magic
It was an amazing Safari, we saw absolutely everything and it was simply magic…!!!
Ben took care of us and gave us the best views for taking the best pictures and enjoying memorable moments! I would completely repeat this beautiful experience!
The picnic could be a bit better and I would’ve appreciate more communication the first days, besides the last days completely changed and I really appreciate all the explanations about the animals.
The staff at the office was the best, I don’t know how many times I asked them questions and they were simply always there solving any doubts.
Thank you for giving us the best time in Kenya, I’m never gonna forget this beautiful days…! My soul is full..! Thank you Axis! ❤️

Really lovely!
Our family of three thoroughly enjoyed our safari experience with Axis Africa. I contacted several companies, and Axis Africa stood out as the most professional and responsive. Communication with the office staff was always clear and well written, even though I asked them about a hundred different options!
Our driver, Ben, was excellent: highly experienced, responsible and reliable. I have to admit that a little more narration, like you might normally expect from a tour guide, would have made the experience absolutely perfect 😉 However, Ben was extremely focused on finding the animals and communicating with the rangers to get us to the best sightings. Which, to me, was the most important thing and that brought us so many WOW moments that we all felt so lucky for. He was also brilliant at anticipating where the animals would go next.
One particularly memorable moment was seeing a cheetah, which can be very difficult to spot. It walked away from all the jeeps, but instead of simply following it, Ben anticipated which direction it would take and drove us ahead to wait. About ten minutes later, the cheetah appeared, walked straight towards our jeep and then circled around it. It was a breathtaking experience!
We also saw all of the Big Five in the Maasai Mara, and at Lake Nakuru, the animals, even the elusive leopard, treated us to some wonderfully long sightings.
This was our first safari, and I am so glad we chose Axis Africa. Highly recommended!
