phenomenal safari, memories for a lifetime
We travelled on a safari trip which was organised by axis Africa and it couldn't have been better. We travelled across maasai mara first where we were lucky enough to see the big 5 of maasai mara including lions on a lazy afternoon, lion roaring during a night time game drive looking for his pride, innumerable wildebeest , zebras and giraffes, we saw a cheetah and also two leopards (mum and cub) on a tree. The drunken elephant camp was an amazing place to stay with great food and phenomenal service. We then went to lake nakuru where we saw lion and lioness having dinner with a freshly hunted zebra, lots of rhinoceros , rothshchild giraffe and some Flamingos. We then went to lake naivasha where the stay was at an amazing MGM country Club and we did a boat safari where we saw fisheagle hunting on fishes, quite a few hippos and a Walking safaris on Crescent Island, where we walked with giraffes and gazelles (even though they do run away). Hippos even ambled for a graze every evening at the country club. Finally, we went to Amboseli, where we saw a large number of elephants making their daily trip from forests to the swamps against a lovely backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. We also saw an eagle hunting a baby gazelle and a lioness trying to hunt a zebra; both failed but were still exciting to watch in real life.
This safari trip has created happy memories for our family for a lifetime, and it wouldn't have been possible without our tour guide, Peter, who is super knowledgeable, very friendly, and flexible. I recommend him 200%. Thank you, Peter, for making our safari trip so incredible.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience – Huge Thanks to Axis Africa Expedition & Our Amazing Guide Yasin
We had the most incredible 3-day safari experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, and I cannot recommend them highly enough!
From the very beginning, the communication with our coordinator Winnie was prompt, clear, and professional. She patiently answered all our questions, tailored the itinerary to our needs, and ensured everything was well-organized before our trip even began. Her attention to detail and responsiveness gave us a great sense of confidence.
And the real star of our journey was our tour guide and driver, Yasin. He was nothing short of phenomenal. Yasin is incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife, ecosystems, and local culture, and he shared his insights with passion and clarity. His driving skills were outstanding, navigating tough terrains with ease and keeping us safe and comfortable at all times.
What impressed us the most was Yasin’s extraordinary ability to spot animals, often from incredible distances, and his deep respect and love for nature and wildlife. He never rushed, always made sure we had time to enjoy each sighting, and handled every situation with calm expertise. You can tell he truly cares about his work and the animals he helps us see.
Thanks to Yasin, we saw all the animals in an ethical, responsible, and deeply enjoyable way. He truly made our trip unforgettable.
If you're planning a safari in Kenya, look no further than Axis Africa Expedition — and if you can, ask for Yasin. You’ll be in the best hands.

Perfect Experience
We had a perfect three-day Safari trip with our tour guide Yasin. Yasin has an excellent driving skill. He was able to quickly find the animals we wanted to see while sticking to the principles of animal protection. The pick-up and drop-off were always on time, and the hotel environment was great. I would strongly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris and our tour guide Yasin to everyone.

Amazing
A car picked us up from the hotel we were staying at and drove us to the office. There my parents (they organised the trip) sorted cost out rather quickly and we were supplied with shirts and off we went. The tour guide, name Peter Kapino, was excellent. Water was supplied in the car, charging stations were turned on when needed. Stops at the best places were made with stores and food. We reached there within a good time. Most of the resorts recommend were great apart from one, but that is not a deal breaker to the tours themselves. Peter was flexible with all our times, and waited when we took too long. He understood English well, and was chatty and pleasant when we engaged with him. He is incredibly knowledgeable and gave us in-depth explanations about every park we visited and the animals within it. He managed to get us to the best areas for photos and though most of it was down to luck, I believe his skill in knowing the animals lead us to be able to see pretty much all the animals, save the migration which again was nowhere near a dealbreaker for me. One thing is the cost, as I did not help plan this trip I don’t know about cost, so if that is a major issue then be careful. But is was thoroughly splendid and I personally could both have imagined a better tour

Exceptional service
I worked with Lucy to finalise the itinerary for a month , she helped with the accommodation , providing different options to suit different budgets . No request was big as she tried to give multiple options . When we reached Kenya , we met our driver and guide Peter who was magical . We saw everything possible- multiple leopards , cheetah , elephants , forage , hippos and even a lion kill which was on my bucket list. He worked with us to make the whole experience as nice and fun for the whole
Family .

Smooth communication and experienced guide
Before the trip the communication with axis was smooth so was the pickup from airport to their office. In the safari trip, our guide Robert was helpful, experienced and tried to accommodate everyone. He’s also a great driver who knows how to handle the vehicle at different terrains and how to get us fastest to the rare animals appearances from the best viewing angle

Raymond was invested in his work, professional, always making sure to satisfy the group, and funny.
First, THANK YOU to Axis Safari for this amazing experience! Thanks to our guide, Raymond, we were able to see all of the big five and even the ugly five! Also, the communication with Jaqueline was perfect. She always made sure that everything was okay (through WhatsApp msg) and she made us feel so special. Raymond and Jaqueline were always making themselves helpful and available for all our needs. Thank you both for making my very first safari in Kenya such an unforgettable experience.
Second, regarding the price of the safari, it was more than affordable and very high quality, we were warmly welcomed every single time (hotels, activities...) and ate delicious dishes. As a piece of advice, I'll tell you to make sure to bring some cash with you during the safari (US Dollars or Kenyan Shillings) because some optional activities should be paid cash (visit of the Masai Mara village, walking in Crescent Island, boat ride to the Island, the visit of the Mara Lake, the bicycle ride in Hell's Gate, the gorge of Hell's Gate, etc). Also, make sure to give some tips to the different guides after each activity.
In a nutshell, it's a company that I highly recommend for doing a 5-day safari (or even less/more days) because your trip will be safe and affordable.

Team-oriented, safe, and knowledgable
Papa John ensured ALL parts of the tour were included. He was timely and responsible. The fun attitude, driving skills and knowledge about animals was superb. I want to bring my mother to Kenya some day. When I do, I will be requesting Papa John. Thank you, Axis Vacations for going Above and Beyond our service needs.
