Book a Safari with Mohamed as your driver
I found Axis through this very page, and I want to share my experience to help others know what to expect. After receiving several quotes, I chose Axis because they were extremely helpful in answering all my questions for our first safari and very flexible in adapting to our needs. I also really appreciated how upfront they were regarding pricing and options.
Once in Kenya, we were lucky to have Mohamed as our driver. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he shared so many interesting facts about the savannah and its wildlife. Thanks to his dedication, we managed to see the Big Five across Masai Mara and Amboseli!
The only downside occurred on our first day: our booked lodge was unavailable, and we were initially placed in an alternative option that fell short of our expectations. After some back-and-forth, we were moved to our original lodge and received a partial refund for the inconvenience. While I believe the company should have upgraded us instead of downgrading in that situation (putting customer experience over cost), the overall trip was still wonderful. I would still recommend Axis, especially if you get Mohamed as your guide!

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!

7 Days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Safari
I went on the 7 Days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Safari with mid range accommodation.
Overall, it was a breathtaking experience and excellent value for money. Our guide David Mukami was fantastic and worked tirelessly to make sure we saw everything we could possibly see.
