Amazing! Enthusiastic and nice guide who spotted all the animals we wanted and more
My experience was amazing. I booked a three-day safari in the Masai Mara, and I was worried it wouldn’t be enough. However, my guide, Yasin, made sure we spotted all the animals we wanted to see. In less than two days, he showed us the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo), which can be really hard to spot all together. We even saw two lions hunting.
We also saw lots of baby animals, which we absolutely loved, and two cheetahs: one pregnant and another with cubs. Apart from these incredible sightings, we saw plenty of hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, and, of course, Timon and Pumbaa haha
We were so lucky to see the animals just a few metres away, giving us amazing views of everything (although I would still recommend bringing binoculars). Yasin was also super respectful of the wildlife and never harassed the animals, which we really appreciated. He was incredibly supportive throughout the trip and always made sure we were doing well. We had to catch a flight on the last day, and he made sure we arrived at the airport on time. We really appreciated how thoughtful and helpful he was throughout the whole experience.
I went with my partner, but I think this safari is also perfect for solo travelers and families. We stayed at Wild Nest Camp, which was lovely too. The food was really good, but make sure to lock your tent during the day to prevent monkeys from sneaking in.
We felt like we were inside Disney’s The Lion King the entire time :)

Very satisfied with the safari experience
We have had amazing days in Maasai Mara, and are happy with the service from Axis Africa. Mimi Kelvin has done a solid job as guide, taking us safely to the park and doing a super job at finding the animals. Accommodation is decent, with private bathrooms in the tents and food somewhat better than expected (we went for option 2, seems to be rather limited differences between them)

Axis was a good company for safari, i recommand
The safari went very well; Axis offers excellent value for money. Kelvin, the guide, was fantastic and helpful—he explained things and shared a lot of information about the animals, while giving us plenty of time to enjoy the experience and take photos. Best of all, we got to see the "Big Five" (and the "Ugly Five" too).

Wonderful trip
I had an amazing safari experience in Masai Mara, Amboseli and Lake Nakuru! Our guide, Rodgers, was incredibly responsible, friendly and knowledgeable about wildlife. He was always quick to spot animals and shared lots of interesting facts with us. He worked really hard, driving long hours every day to make sure we had the best experience possible. His English was excellent, and communication was always easy and enjoyable. He was also very cheerful and talkative, which made the whole trip even more fun. Highly recommend Rogers as a safari guide!

Amazing Safari Experience
We had an amazing safari experience in Kenya, and a big part of it was thanks to our guide, Rodgers.
Throughout the entire trip, Rodgers was incredibly professional, patient and responsible. We spent many long hours on the road between the different national parks, and he was always energetic, reliable and made sure we were comfortable and safe.
During the game drives, he was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and had a great eye for spotting animals. He always tried his best to help us see as much as possible, while never making us feel rushed. We learned so much from him about the animals, the parks and Kenya along the way.
What we appreciated most was how genuinely kind and easygoing Rodgers was. After spending six days together, it felt less like travelling with a guide and more like travelling with a friend.
Thank you, Rodgers, for taking such good care of us and for making our first safari such a memorable experience. We will definitely remember this trip for a very long time. Highly recommended! 🦁🐘🦒🇰🇪

The best one
We had a tour “3 days Masai Mara adventure” from Nairobi.
1. We had a group tour (5 tourists from different countries) and everyone from our group was nice, it was fun to find animals together. Take your binoculars, so you can check animals in details. Our jeep was equipped with comfortable seats, with enough space for everyone in the car.
2. Our guide Yasin is the best! He knows everything about animals and he can answer on all your questions in English. His jokes are really fun)
Yasin did everything to show to us animals as more as possible and we got unbelievable impressions. We saw leopard, hyenas, ostriches, giraffes, crocodiles; families of elephants, warthogs and hippos with their babies; herds of buffalos, zebras, impalas, wildebeests and others.
The most memorable moments for me were:
- a pair of black rhinos, we saw them so close!
- cheetah with her babies, they played among bushes and one more pregnant cheetah, they are amazing!
- we were watching for lion’s hunting on warthogs twice, at those moments I felt myself as a participant of an “animal planet”.
I really recommend this guy, he did our safari unbelievable!
3. Our manager answered very fast, she was nice and helped me all the time.
4. We had a problem with our accommodation. We booked “Sankale”, but they brought us to another one “Lenchada” and explained it because of overbooking. Our tent had holes and the door was broken, so a lot of insects were inside, pillows were with spots like mold. I will not mark down, because our manager solved this problem and negotiated with camp about changing the tent and we got the better one without insects and clean textile. Personal in Lenchada were polite and nice. Food was standard for budget type of accommodation. In my lunchbox were plenty of ants especially inside my chicken. So be careful.
So, this company of safari tours is perfect! I really recommend AXIS safari.

Professional, fun and accommodating!
We booked a 2 night (3 day) safari with Axis Africa and it was worth every penny. The Lodge was beautifully done and staff very polite and friendly. The safari on the Masai Mara was amazing. Straight from the gate the wildlife was abundant. Our guide Amos was both an excellent driver and very knowledgeable, answering all our questions about the animals and geography. Seeing cheetah and lion cubs was an absolute highlight! Heading back to Nairobi we stopped at a Masai village which was culturally amazing and a wonderful experience for our children. We would highly recommend this safari to friends and family.
