Above & Beyond!
We booked a private safari and had Rodgers and Caleb as our tour guides. Cynthia met us at our hotel, and introduced us to Rodgers and Caleb. Rodgers and Caleb were incredible, I cannot thank them enough for making our safari experience unforgettable. They were on time, kind, funny, and worked SOOO hard to make sure we saw the Big 5 (plus sooo much more), they were informative, answered all our questions and truly made our experience so special. We did a 4 night trip, in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and ending in Hells Gate before being returned back to Nairobi. We took every opportunity to get into the parks early and it delivered- cheetahs, lions (with cubs!) and the King himself, elephants (and their babies!), and more pumbas, zebras and giraffes than you can believe! Cycling in Hells Gate was an awesome and unique experience and would highly recommend to anyone. We felt like we had more than enough time in each park and never felt rushed or like we missed out- and again that was partly down to Rodgers and Caleb being so good! The hotels were lovely, particularly the Lake Nakuru Lodge with views of the lake and zebras and Sopa Lodge where we walked within feet of giraffe and zebras- incredible! The food at all the hotels was lovely, staff were friendly and helpful. I can’t give one criticism of this trip, it’s amazing value for money, Rodgers and Caleb were on time for every early morning, and we’ve learnt loads about the animals and Kenya. We honestly had a brilliant time.

Excellent, Reliable ,reasonably priced Safari tour company.
Axis Africa is an Excellent, Reliable, reasonably priced Safari tour company in Nairobi. Our guide, Kevin was great. On time, persistent in finding all the animals, getting us close for viewing and photos and was very knowledgable about the animal or bird names. It was top notch. He and the companies service to their guests went beyond expectations. I would highly recommend them.

If you want to feel the spirit of Africa Kikitu and Khalifa are the best guides, Lennox is a perfect
No matter how many times I have to choose a safari in Kenya with a group, my choice will always be Excise Africa because Lennox is the best organizer I know. I have been leading groups in Africa for a year and it is very important to me that my friends and clients are happy, relaxed and in safe hands. When I correspond to clarify the details of the upcoming trip, Lennox is always flexible and in crisis situations is ready to give the best solution and the best advice. At the last minute before our trip, the airline changed the flight times, so our time was shortened by half a day, and we had to cover the pre-planned points of the route - Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha with all the activities planned in the program. Lennox offered me the best arrangement of time so that we could experience everything planned even more. With the help of our guides Khalifa and Kikitu, we arranged a visit to a Maasai village on the very first evening upon arrival in the Maasai Mara before sunset. Besides the traditional welcome dance, when the sun went down the Maasai made a big fire especially for us, around which we sat, and they sang and danced for us again.
From my longtime guide and friend Kikitu, who is half Maasai, half Kikuyu, I learned incredible stories about Maasai life and traditions - stories you won't read in books or even on the internet. Khalifa is from Mombasa - a man with an incredible sense of humor, a quick mind and a real passion in the pursuit of unique wildlife footage. Both Kikitu and Khalifa are true "hunters" of wild animal sightings. Trust me, whatever animal you think you've spotted somewhere on the horizon, they've seen it long before you and know exactly what that animal is, while you'll need at least binoculars to spot it. They have a very deep knowledge of the life of the savannah, of the habits and specifics of each type of wild animal.
And last but not least, Kikitu and Khalifa know how to create a unique atmosphere during the trip with their energy. For me and my friends, it was a truly inspiring and invigorating experience.
Thanks to these wonderful people who are a pleasure to work with - Lennox, Kikitu and Khalifa. I will certainly return again with new friends to share more of the wonder of Africa.
I am happy to share my experience and recommend these professionals with big hearts, but I only pray that they always have enough time for me too :)

Good organized
we did the 5 days Come in as guests & leave as family in a budget group joining tour in a land cruiser. masai mara lake nakuru and lake navaisha.
Lenox from axis responded very quickly and correctly to our questions.
the accommodations are budget but we certainly had nothing to complain about.
we had Dickson as a guide, driver, he was great knew a lot about wildlife, nature and culture.
He also did everything to make the group feel good.
He was great.
We saw 4 of the big five, except the leopard, but it was a great experience everywhere.

Great safari, great driver, great experience
The safari was excellent. Albert was the best driver we could have asked for. He went above and beyond to ensure we see as many animals and we have a great experience in our safari.
Accommodation was adequate but good enough.
But Masai village wasn't anything special so that could have been left out.
But all in all, 5/5!

Extraordinary
A group of 5 of us including a 7 year old and a 73 year old. We had Charles for our guide and had the most unforgettable experience! Charles also made sure to get us perfect views of all of the animals, and clearly knows his way around the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru.
A highlight was visiting the Maasai village. I would highly recommend Axis and Charles! We will never forget this!

Joseph was the best tour guide we could possibly ask for! He was very friendly, helpful and insightful. Thanks to Joseph, we had an unforgettable time in Masaai Mara. We managed to get to see almost all the big 5 and learn a lot about the animals and the ecosystem. The whole trip was filled with laughter and great memories!! We miss you Joseph xx
