Jack, the safari-meister, exceeded all of my family’s expectations.
Thank you Axis Africa Safaris for the 6 Day “It’s a Wild World out There” tour. From our safari guide-meister Jack to Chef Daisy, you have an amazing team. The African people were so patient, kind, and courteous to all 7 of our family members.
Jack, our safari guide-meister for the week, went above and beyond to show us the animals living at Lake Naivasha, Cresent Island, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara. Oh, and I highly recommend the sunrise hot air balloon ride and the champagne breakfast out on the reserve.

Fantastic experience!
We did the 5 day Masai Mara - Nakuru - Naivasha private tour. Absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it.
It was very smooth booking through Axis, they came to meet us at our hotel in the morning to pick us up for the start of the tour.
Our friendly guide Johny was very knowledgable and went above and beyond to ensure we saw the best of Kenya’s wildlife, which included all of the big 5.
He also did an incredible amount of driving which was much appreciated.
We stayed at three different hotels, the first and last were fantastic and provided great rooms and food, although the middle one in Nakuru food and facilities were not quite as good.
We had a boat trip in Naivasha across the Lake which was brilliant to see all the wildlife as well as visiting a Masai village just outside the Mara which was a great experience.
We also paid ($30USD) extra to go on a guided cycle through Hells Gate park in Naivasha which involves cycling amongst buffalo, zebra, giraffes, impala and warthogs - this was an amazing experience to be up so close to the animals.
Overall, we would definitely recommend this tour. Everyone we met along the way ensured we had the greatest experience and would always go the extra mile to ensure we had the best time.

Very Good
Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris organised an excellent 3 day Masai Mara Safari. Alex (fondly called Papa Alex by our group) is a superb guide. Always smiling always cheerful. We had an excellent game drive, even after sighting the big four he didn't slow down but drove round the park to show as as much as possible.
The Lenchada Tourist Camp where we stayed was also very clean and the food was quite good. If only they could provide us wifi it would have been superb.

Great experience and well organized!
In June we were going on a 5-day hiking trip to Mt. Kenia with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. The communication with Axis in advance was perfect, we got all the information we needed for preparing our trip and they were always answering very fast.
The trip itself was also just perfect: Not only that the landscape at Mt. Kenia is absolutely recommandable, we also enjoyed being with our guide Jimmy and the whole team and had a lot of fun. They were always super friendly and definetly made this trip a memorable experience for us.
Unfortuantely, Mt. Kenia is wrongly undervalued due to its "bigger brother", the Kilimandscharo.
Summarized I can say, it is absolutely worth it! Five Stars for this tour!

It was surreal totally amazing
I came across axis Africa safari while searching for an affordable safari tour as part of my planned vacation in Kenya. The staff, Lennox responded promptly and effectively with detailed itinerary and always ready to provide any further information He was able to schedule the tour with the very short notice and it was very smooth. They picked me up from where i stayed and I was very lucky to meet John, our tour guide who is very polite, approachable, knowledgeable attentive and respectful. He would explain everything you want to know about animals in the safari. We spent 3 days in Masai Mara and the camp we stayed Jambo Mara Safari Lodge was awesome. Very lovely rooms with good ambience, extremely warm and friendly staff and excellent food. It was surreal and I would definitely recommend you to try Axis Afica Safari and hope you will meet John.

Fantastic 4 Day Safari From Nairobi to Diani Beach
We had a fantastic safari booked through Axis Africa. Lennox communicated clearly and helped me to customise the tour to stay at exactly the lodges we wanted. We had a comfortable land cruiser 4x4 for the drive, which had a pop up roof that allowed us to watch the animals safely during the game drives. Khalifa was an awesome guide and driver. We saw some amazing animals and scenery. He was good at finding the animals and positioning the land cruiser at just the right spot for great photos. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals too. We enjoyed all the lodges but especially Salt Lick and Satao camp in Tsavo which were incredible with their own watering holes that allowed you to see the animals close up. I would definitely book with Axis Africa again and request Khalifa.
Wonderful experience, kind and considered in timing and the needs of the group
Sharp, friendly and kind team to discover in the best conditions the Big 5 and Kenya magical tour. Definitely a great experience!

Amazing safari
We had an amazing experience over the last few days. We booked a 4 day safari in 2 locations. Our driver Andrew was always enthousiastic and explained a lot about safari and the culture of Kenya. The experience was awesome and we all had a lot of fun.

Once in a lifetime experience with amazing guides!
We had an amazing 4 days trip to Masai Mara and lake Nakuru.
The booking itself went smoothly on whatsapp, we booked at first for only 3 days safari with Richard, and it went so well that we decided to visit lake Nakuru as well.
We were able to confirm the booking very short notice with all the desired options (transport & accommodations ).
We had the chance to be with very experienced drivers, Richard in the Masai Mara and Joshua in lake Nakuru.
Very friendly and professionnal, they were very generous in sharing their knowledge about all the animals we met! We felt safe and well taken care of during the whole trip.
They adjusted the itinarary for us to get tested for covid for our next trip as well!
Thank you for this amazing experience!

Hit the nail on the head.
Had a great time on the 3 Day Maasai Mara tour, I was fortunate enough to have Moses as my tour guide who made my trip really enjoyable with his positive attitude!
The food at the camp we stayed at was fantastic and had a really good time speaking with the locals in the area.
The transportation vehicle was great and was very pleased I opted for the land cruiser.
