Amazing experience at amazing price
This tour was a fantastic experience and great value. Everything was organized, we just had to go along and enjoy the animals and beautiful nature. Our guide Peter Ndungu was very experienced and knew where to find the animals and get there fast! We got to see the big 5 (including baby lions!) and the great migration crossing the river. Highly recommend!

Fantastic
Our Kenya trip with Axis Safari was honestly an incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was well organised, from the arrangements to the safari itself, and the whole experience was smooth, comfortable and beyond what we expected.
But what really made the trip extra special was our guide, Charles Pili Pili or as we call him, Angkor, meaning “brother.” ❤️
Angkor was honestly one of the best guides we could have asked for. He was extremely experienced, professional, knowledgeable and so much fun to be around. His knowledge of the wildlife was incredible from animal behaviour and tracking to the different parts of the Masai Mara, he always had something interesting to share.
And the best part? He somehow always knew where to take us. 🦁🐆🦒 From cheetahs getting ridiculously close to our Jeep, witnessing a leopard hunt, lions on the move and even the unforgettable wildebeest crossing we experienced moments that I’ll probably never forget.
What makes Angkor stand out is that he doesn’t just “drive you around.” He genuinely understands the wild. He knows when to wait, when to move, where to look and how to respect the animals and their environment. You can really feel his passion and experience every time he speaks about Kenya and its wildlife.
And of course, finding out that our guide is also a famous professional footballer was definitely a bonus! 😂⚽️ Safari guide by day, football legend by… apparently also day. 😂
Throughout the trip, Angkor was more than just our guide. He became our photographer, storyteller, wildlife expert, comedian and most importantly, our brother. ❤️
Huge thank you to Axis Safari for giving us such a memorable Kenya experience, and an even bigger thank you to Angkor for making it truly unforgettable.
If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, I would absolutely recommend Axis Safari and if you’re lucky enough to get Angkor, you’re in very good hands. 🇰🇪❤️
10/10 experience. Would do it all over again.
All the Best Charles Pili Pili / Angkor !

3 day Masai Mara game drive with Masai village visit
Thank you Axis Safari for unforgettable and amazing experience! Special thanks for our safari guide John Mwangi, who really put in extra effort in every aspect and enabled us to see and experience best of Masai Mara. Knows all the back roads, expert in a avoiding massive traffic, and first human alive to convince the Kenyan police that they were wrong 😊

Once in a lifetime experience!
Ken has been the best guide we could have asked for! He is extremely knowledgeable and has been guiding Masai Mara tours for many years. He knows where to find the animals and got us up close to many lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, etc. He was so kind, made the trip very fun, and answered so many questions for us. Prior to arriving in Kenya, Tabitha was very responsive via email and answered all my questions about the various accommodations and tour options, etc. This has been an incredible experience and I would recommend Ken and Axis to anyone looking to explore the wildlife of the Masai Mara.
Big 5 for great value!
We had a fantastic experience with Axis Africa Safaris and would absolutely recommend them for a great-value Kenyan safari. We chose a budget option and were really impressed with how well everything was organized and executed.
Our driver/guide, Peter Ngige, was excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and especially good at getting us into position quickly when animals were spotted. His ability to navigate and anticipate where the wildlife would be made a huge difference, and we were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five during our safari as well as the great migration.
Overall, Axis Africa offered an amazing safari experience at a very reasonable price. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife, felt well taken care of throughout the trip, and had a wonderful time. We would definitely use them again!

It was like having a world class tracker as a driver!
Our tour guide, Ken, was amazing! He found us hidden treasures by following the ‘signs’ - he read the posture of the hyenas and was able to guide us to 2 sleeping lions - we were the only other ones there and that made it extra special! His expertise was also able to lead us to all the best sights. Overall, it was an excellent experience that is well worth the dollars spent!
best experience ever
I went on holiday with my wife and it was one of the best experiences we've ever had. Thanks to Jacob, our guide, we learned a lot and he made the experience very enjoyable and fun. I would definitely do it again.

1day trip Unforgettable Day Safari Thanks to Excellent Guide Charles K
My safari tour was absolutely fantastic, largely thanks to our guide Charles K. He delivered exceptional service throughout the whole day. Charles was extremely knowledgeable about local wildlife, patiently pointing out every animal for us and sharing interesting facts about their habits. He drove attentively, adjusted our route flexibly, and always made sure we got perfect viewing angles.
We were incredibly lucky to spot a wide variety of animals. We saw tall giraffes wandering across the grassland, hippos resting by the lake, and even lions resting in the shade. Besides these highlights, we also came across zebras, antelopes, plus dozens of beautiful bird species with bright feathers.
Thanks to Charles’s sharp eyes and rich experience, we barely missed any key wildlife. It was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend him to anyone planning a safari trip.

Very reliable and always available
The experience has been very satisfactory. The organisation succeeded in any step of the trip. The Soroi Private Wing camp was a combination of genuinity and warm atmosphere, a wonderful location very well led. The guide Collin Sempele has been very professional. He is very prepared for explanations, a very good driver, very generous in time. He understands customers needs. We were feeling very safe with him.
