Highly recommend Axis and Jimmy in particular.
Really good trip. Good value and got to see so many animals including loads of lions, giraffes, wildebeest, cheetah, zebra, various antelopes and even a leopard which is super rare. Our guide, Jimmy, was absolutely fantastic. Amazing at finding animals, super knowledgeable and friendly, extremely hospitable, kind and maximises value for guests, going the extra mile. Highly recommend Axis and Jimmy in particular.

An amazing safari experience with an outstanding guide
We had an absolutely amazing safari with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, and it exceeded all our expectations. A big part of what made this trip so special was our guide, John Mwangi. He was incredibly friendly, patient and passionate about his job. Thanks to his experience, we were able to spot an incredible number of animals, including many that we would never have noticed on our own. He always knew exactly where to go and took the time to make sure everyone had a good view and the chance to take photos. He shared so much interesting information about the animals, their behavior, and the Masai Mara ecosystem.
If you're planning a safari, we would definitely recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, and if you're lucky enough to have John Mwangi as your guide, you're in for an unforgettable experience!

READ WiTH ATTENTION!!! This is a truly review from professional travelers!
We are professional travelers. After 04 years, 50 countries and several trips, including safaris, we can say with absolutely sure that Axis Safari is a great company.
- The central office exists! So it is not a virtual company.
- The cars are well equipped, clean and reliable.
- All the logistics are provided in full, just as offered.
- The guides are great. In our case, Hassan was really good at finding good spots for animal seeing. He also was respectful with another cars/guides and most important, respected the animals space, giving us chance to see and get some incredible pictures and videos.
If you want some more detailed info, we will be glad to help you organize your Kenya Safari. Just send a Hi on our Insta or YouTube. It's free, don't worry.

Highly recommended
We had an absolutely amazing 7-day safari in Kenya with Axis Safari, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime!
We visited the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hell’s Gate National Park (where we even got to cycle among the wildlife!), and Amboseli National Park. Every place was different and brought its own special experiences, and everything was very well organized from beginning to end.
The wildlife was beyond anything we could have imagined. We were incredibly lucky to see almost the entire Big Five, only missing the rhino in the Masai Mara. We saw a leopard, lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas, so many antelopes, and an incredible number of different birds. Every game drive felt like a new adventure, and we were constantly amazed by what we got to see.
The budget accommodations were also a lovely surprise. They were clean, comfortable, and welcoming, with friendly staff and everything we needed after a long day of safari.
And a very special thank you to our guide, Jack! He was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of the parks and animals was impressive, and you could really see how passionate he is about nature and wildlife. He always did his best to find the animals and give us the best possible sightings, while patiently answering all our questions. He also has a great sense of humor, which made the long drives even more enjoyable!
Thanks to Jack, we had some truly unforgettable moments, especially our encounters with lions, cheetahs, and the leopard. These are memories we will keep for a very long time.
We would wholeheartedly recommend Axis Safari to anyone planning a safari in Kenya. We got an amazing experience for a great price, and everything exceeded our expectations. If you’re thinking about booking a safari, don’t hesitate, you’re in for an incredible adventure!

We highly recommend Axis Safari to anyone looking for an incredible safari at a great value
We had an absolutely amazing 7-day safari with Axis Safari in Kenya and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our itinerary included the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate National Park (where we cycled through the park!), and Amboseli National Park. Every destination offered something unique, and the entire trip was perfectly organized.
The wildlife exceeded all our expectations. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five except for the rhino in the Mara, including a leopard, several lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas, antelopes, and an incredible variety of birds. The rhinos we saw in Lake Nakuru. Every game drive brought new surprises, and our guide always knew where to find the animals.
The budget accommodations were much better than we expected—comfortable, clean, and with friendly staff. They provided everything we needed after long and exciting days on safari.
A very special thank you goes to our guide, Jack. His knowledge of the parks and wildlife was outstanding, and his passion for nature was obvious every day. He worked incredibly hard to give us the best possible sightings, answered all our questions, and made the trip fun with his great sense of humor. Thanks to Jack, we had unforgettable encounters with lions, cheetahs, and even a leopard.
We highly recommend Axis Safari to anyone looking for an incredible safari experience at a great value. It was truly the trip of a lifetime!

An unforgettable 5-day Kenya safari – highly recommended!
Our five-day Kenya safari was nothing short of memorable and went above and beyond our expectations. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, along with so much other incredible wildlife and scenery throughout the trip.
A special mention must go to Mimi Kelvin, our fantastic driver and tour guide. He was brave, knowledgeable, helpful and always brought such good vibes to every day of the safari. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him, and he always made sure we were comfortable, safe and in the best possible position to see the animals. He played a huge part in making this trip so special.
The only disappointing part of the experience was our stay at Lake Naivasha Resort. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations, and based on our experience, we would not recommend paying extra to upgrade to Option 4, as we did not feel it was worth the additional cost.
Aside from this, the safari itself was absolutely incredible. Seeing the Big Five in their natural habitat was a dream come true, and the entire experience exceeded everything we had imagined. We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives. Thank you again to Mimi Kelvin for making it such an unforgettable adventure!

4 days in Masai Mara
We had a 4-day safari to the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with ourdriver and guide, Mimi Kevin.
One of the highlights of our trip was witnessing the incredible lines of wildebeest gathering for the Great Migration and watching them repeatedly attempt to cross the Mara River. It was an emotional and unforgettable spectacle.
Another unforgettable moment was finding a pride of lion brothers that had just brought down a buffalo and were feeding on it. Watching such a powerful scene in the wild was something we will never forget.
Thanks to Mimi, we saw an amazing variety of wildlife, including both the black rhinoceros and the white rhinoceros, as well as elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas, buffaloes, and countless other animals. The only member of the Big Five that escaped us was the leopard—but that's the beauty of nature, as this magnificent animal is incredibly elusive.
Throughout the trip, Mimi always positioned the vehicle perfectly for photography, drove safely even on the roughest roads, and shared information about the animals. His passion for wildlife and his commitment to giving us the best possible safari experience were evident every single day. He uses to be the first in any place so be ready to wake up early.
Thank you, Mimi, for your professionalism, kindness, and dedication.

Very dependable, good guide, saw all big 5
Axis Africa was very communicative and quick to get back to me. I got the second-cheapest accommodation and I loved it. Our guide, Mimi Kelvin, was really good at getting us to the animals efficiently and stopping for as long as we wanted. He shared some cool facts as well. Overall a very solid experience.
