The perfect mix of professionalism and flexibility
This safari has been really amazing!
The first part which concerned the inquiry of information, questions and booking was handled perfectly by Tabitha which has been always responsive, kind and professional. I asked her a lot of question and also changed my plans several time since I was booking for a group of 7 student and she has been very patient and accommodating.
The first day of the safari we have been picked up from our hotel and brought to the office of Axis. From there onwards we have been taken care by Yasin, our driver and guide which has been with us for the whole Safari. As I mentioned in the title Yasin has been the perfect mix of professionalism and flexibility. In fact he always drove very carefully, giving a lot of information and answering all our questions. In the park he was the first to ask to the ranger the permission to get closer to the animals so that we could get the best spots to take pictures. On the other hand he has also been super flexible in accomodating our requests and desires. He accepted to extend our first game drive from 8 hours to 12 hours! We left at 7 and came back at 19:00. This was because he did not want to leave the park before being able to find a male lion and we found three brothers around 18 with perfect light from the sunset. So we could really not have asked for a better service. Also the second game drive in Lake Nakuru has been super nice and even if it was supposed to finish at 17, Yasin extend it till 19:00 so that we could enjoy the sunset from the lake in front of the flamingos. During the drives he also gave us a big speaker to put on music and two binoculars. Moreover he had a book with all the birds of east africa and everytime he was telling us the exact name of the bird that we were seeing so that we could look it up also in the book.
Regarding the accomodations and food they have also been super nice. We chose the cheapest option but the first lodge in Masai Mara was still very comfortable even though it was not luxurious, but that's part of the experience I think. The hotel in Nakuru instead was very elegant with also a swimming pool that we could use and great food.
I could keep writing a lot but then it would be a bit too long of a review so I just conclude by saying that this has been my first safari and he exceeded all my expectations thanks to the organization of Axis and especially to the guide of Yasin.
Highly recommended to everyone especially considering the great ratio quality/price.

He was professional, kind, knowledgeable and a really fun character and friend to be around with
Axis safaris was really professional with their detailed explanation and planning. The pricing was really good compared to some other places we checked. They paired us with Yasin who was a true professional. His love for his job and nature really made it memorable for us. As he says safari is a bit of luck but his knowledge and connections gave us the chance to see all the animals we wanted (some rare ones such as cheeta and leopards as well!). His car was comfortable and well cared for and he never tried to opted out of doing extra hours or longer stays. He was alwayd like "take your time". He even waited 20 mins to search a book for the name of a bird our friend asked about. I felt like having a companion and not a guide only and this made it a special journey.

Amazing!
A group of friends and I left for the Masai Mara on November 18, 2025, until November 20, 2025. In just two days of safari, our guide Khalifa managed to show us all the Big 5! Khalifa, our guide, and Erick, the professional photographer, were a fantastic team who made our experience literally unforgettable! Although our package did not include a professional photographer to take photos and videos with a professional camera, we had the opportunity to have Erick take a photo book of us and the animals for free. Khalifa and Erick were extremely knowledgeable, punctual, and kind. During the trip, they explained everything there was to know about the fauna and flora of the Masai Mara and also about the history of the country, all while offering us snacks and fruit along the way. Khalifa also lent me and my friends money several times to buy souvenirs from the Masai, as we didn't have any local currency, as well as letting us play our music in the jeep! He was not only excellent at his job, but also as a person. We stayed at Lenchada Camp, a very good camp with excellent staff and food.
I highly recommend Khalifa, Erick, and Lenchada Camp. They made our experience unique and unforgettable!

Super!!!
I had an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya! Our guide Khalifa, was absolutely exceptional — extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and truly passionate about the wildlife. Thanks to him, we were able to spot an incredible variety of animals, and every moment felt special and well explained.
We also had a talented photographer, Erick, with us who captured stunning photos throughout the journey, giving us memories we’ll treasure forever.
The entire staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time. The accommodation was beautiful as well, and the presence of wildlife around the lodge — especially the monkeys and baboons — made it even more unique and exciting.
Overall, it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari in Kenya!

Best experience ever
I joined a safari in the Masai Mara and I can’t help but compliment the tour operator for the flawless organization. Our ranger was outstanding—knowledgeable, attentive, and always ready to answer our questions, making every moment of the safari feel special and safe.
The hotel staff was equally exceptional. From the warm, friendly welcome each day to the team who prepared our meals with such care and passion, you could truly feel their dedication in every detail.
The value for money is excellent. The experience is worth every cent and far exceeds expectations.
An unforgettable journey that I wholeheartedly recommend!

Fantastic safari trip to Amboseli with a lot of animals including lion and cheetah.
We had a nice and safe drive from Nairobi to Sopa Lodge. The safari trip was amazing and our guide Moses was an expert to find the animals. We recommend Axis Safari strongly.
