Wonderful tour
I recently went on a safari to Masai Mara in February and had an unforgettable experience. Not only did I see the big five animals, but also a plethora of other incredible wildlife.
What made this safari truly exceptional was our guide Jeffery, or Jeff as he likes to be called. He demonstrated a great deal of patience throughout the trip, taking the time to explain the behavior and characteristics of each animal we encountered. He went above and beyond, spending more time than promised and taking us to more places than expected.
Jeff's extensive knowledge of the local fauna and flora made the experience truly immersive and educational. His enthusiasm and passion for wildlife were contagious, making us all appreciate the beauty and fragility of these creatures even more.
Overall, I highly recommend this safari experience, and if you have the chance to go, be sure to request Jeff as your guide. He is an exceptional guide who will undoubtedly make your safari experience unforgettable.

The time of our lives!
We found Axis per chance when we decided to go to Africa. We saw much more expensive trips but this one fit our budget and we were completely happy with our choice, the agenda and the experiences! Johny was our guide and driver. He loves what he does and he is good at it! We saw everything imaginable while having fun doing it. Johny has a GREAT sense of humor (and laugh!)…we laughed A LOT! We used Axis for both, a safari followed by an incredible hike at Mt Kenya (with Jimmy) which took extra accommodating/logistics. Axis came through 100% on both adventures, including safe storage of our belongings while gone on our hike. So happy we chose Axis!

Well organized, good drivers, zero worries and fantastic memories
Axis organized for us a fantastic 4 days safari though Amboseli, and Tsavo (west & east) national parks. The overall experience was everything you dreamed of as a child. The landscapes are beautiful and you get to see the animals from really close. Besides the lodges Axis selected were located near water points in the park so the animals would come hang out in the evening. Our driver Julius was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable, he was also extremely determined for us to see the big 5. We in the end saw only 4, the rhinos were a bit shy, but Julius was the one to spot an entire group of lions on our last day which was a great send off.

Everything was exactly as described, great price and great service.
This was my first time on safari and was a wonderful experience. I only booked it the day before and the trip worked perfectly for my budget and the time I had. I was picked up from the hotel and dropped back to a different hotel of my choosing, door to door service. The vehicle we went in was great, the group we had was great (lucky) and jeff our guide was brilliant. He was friendly, very knowledgeable and always happy to help, too man. Everything was cleared all accommodation and food was brilliant, overall 10/10 of trip and would recommend.

Kevin was amazing!
Our experience was fantastic! We had Kevin to look after us and he was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us. We felt well looked after. He was super friendly. We saw so many animals! It was a breathtaking experience.

Absolutely amazing!! Couldn’t have been better
We had the best driver! Kevin looked after us so well, he was knowledgeable about the animals in the park, so so friendly, a fantastic driver (we didn’t get stuck in the mud once), he assisted other drivers when they needed it, kept us safe and was a really good laugh. Honestly he made the whole experience for us and we couldn’t have appreciated him more. Thanks Kevin!

Safe, efficient, friendly, knowledgeable - I can’t imagine having a better experience on my safari
If I seem extraordinarily positive, it’s not because I am a bot (I promise!). There are a few reasons. One is that I am still riding that “post-safari high”. The second is that I want to see my guide Kevin paid in both recognition and money for the great work he did. Above all though, it’s because I had a legitimately amazing experience with every part of the tour.
Planning the tour was as easy as reaching out via WhatsApp, and I received responses promptly. Pick up was on schedule, and the short ride to the office meeting place with Abraham was pleasant.
The tour itself was amazing. Kevin is a consummate professional. Friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, safe, and fun - he’s everything you want in a tour guide. In fact, he’s everything other tour groups wish they had too (he helped 4 separate tour groups that were stuck in the mud). He ensured everyone in our group was safe and having a good time, and my group and I agreed that he was the single biggest factor in why our first safari was so incredible.
I had a lot of worries about going on a safari, especially as a solo traveller being booked with another group. I cannot imagine having a better safari experience. I know there are plenty of operators and I’m sure many of them are very good. For what the opinion of one stranger is worth, I’ll tell you that I will be recommending Kevin and Axis Africa Expedition to all of my friends and family upon my return. Kevin was amazing and I can’t wait to join him on my next safari.

Very well organzied and good communication over email. Everything was delivered as advertised.
My 4-Day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru tour was great value for money. Jeff was a fantastic guide with in-depth knowledge of the wildlife and very skilled at navigating the savanna. Accommodation was comfortable and hosts were friendly and accommodating. If I book again, I will request Jeff as the guide. Highly recommended.

Great!
We had a wonderful time in Kenya with Axis safari and our driver - Joseph. He is very friendly and chilled and he did his best to ensure that we saw as many animals as possible even some rare ones / like Gerenuk/. Also he aways managed to direct the car in the best possition for photos and viewing even in situations that there were hardly any space for more vehicles. The traffic in Kenya is crazy but we felt safe with Joseph!

Funny, informative and always a great time!!
We did our trip from friday to sunday. Got picked up as planned in the morning, had a smooth ride to the destination with a few stops on the way for toilet breaks, views and sovenier shopping. No lunch on the way so when arriving to the lodge we were very hungry! Had a lovely game drive in the afternoon till 6.30 pm when the park closes. The next day we had another full day with picknick packed from the lodge. After seeing all the animals we wished for the day before we chose to go home earlier on sunday.
