Axis has given me and my girlfriend the most incredible safari tour we could whish for
We booked with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris from the on internet. They are an excellent communicator (super quick) and helped us tailor a Safari that suited our whishes at a great rate. The tour was very professionally organized.
Our tourguide Kevin was experienced, knowlegdable, enthousiastic, proud of Kenya and eager to let us experience the country he loves so much. Kevin has shown us around in Masai Mara, Lake Nakura and Lake Naivasha. Everywhere he was able to show us the best sites and we spotted the big-5 in '1,5 days AND we have seen the great migration.
After our 4-day safari, Lennox has helped me get my passport back (I lost it somewhere in a safari). He covered all expenses to get my passport to his office and organized a courier to our stay in Diani. I couldn't ask for a more realiable and better service, in one word "excepptionel"
Again thank you very much Lennox & Kevin. You guys have given us the best experience!
With regards,
Jonathan

An amazing company to book with!
We enjoyed our time with Axis Safari! Truly an unforgettable experience and would highly recommend this company! We travel all around the world and have amazing experiences like: diving with humpback whales in Tonga, bungee jumping and seeing the glow worms in New Zealand, diving with sharks, manta rays, and whale sharks in Hawaii and Cancun, caring for elephants in Thailand, chilling with wild kangaroos in Australia, and much more...but this trip has been our top favorite! Non stop adventure and endless experiences. It was our first trip we didn’t rent a car, and left it up to someone else to completely take control. Axis safari did an amazing job taking care of us and being our guide in Kenya! They pick you up at the hotel/airport and take care of you from there. We got to pick our lodging each night and didn’t regret one place we stayed at!
I chose our stays based on wildlife and we saw it all! First two nights we stayed at resorts, and the last 3 nights we stayed in canvas tents and got the African experience! I love adventure and enjoyed the last 3 nights staying in lodging that was in the open with animals roaming around at night, and hearing the lions roar. We saw so much on are game drives! We saw attempted hunts, animals born within mins, animals feeding on their latest kill, hyenas try to take over a lion pride, so many babies and their mamas, and saw every animal you could thing of. Everything that I imagined Africa would be, this was it! Our guide Khalifa went above and beyond to make our experience enjoyable! We loved him as our guide. We enjoyed eating meals with him and laughing til we cried. We consider him family now, and he gave us an incredible 5 days! #GBT!
We packed, and brought goodies for the kids, and throughout our tour, we would stop and hand them out to the kids. We will never forget seeing those sweet smiles! The last day on our safari, we visited a Maasai Village. They greeted us and had us participate in their dance, go into their homes, and let us hand out some toys, and paint the girls toes❤️. We were also able to visit a school and hand out stickers to the kids! An experience we will never forget and will hold those memories close to our hearts! If you are still trying to figure out who to book your safari with, hopefully this review has convinced you to book with Axis Safari! The only regret I have about our trip....is not taking our 3 kids with us on this adventure! We will be back with them and want them to have the same experience we did!

An exceptional experience
Thanks to Axis Safari, we had a truly unforgettable experience. The team is professional, responsive and answers all your questions. Everything is super well organized, you don't have to worry about it. The organization is well established between transfers, stops, accommodation, food etc. The price / quality ratio is top. We did 3 days in Massai Mara and saw 4/5 of the Big Five but honestly we saw so many amazing things. It was just magic ... Plus there is real team monitoring, before / during and after the trip to make sure everything is going the way we want it to. Thanks to Axis who made a dream come true!

Axis Safari First Class
Our experience with Axis Safari was first class.
Most people book their safaris well in advance with months of planning. We decided to plan ours in 2 weeks and were lucky to find Axis Safari. The advice provided by Richard and Lennox was extremely helpful in getting our bookings done while there was still availability. The process was simple and they were quick to answer questions we had. Other tour companies were slow to respond, but Axis was very fast, courteous and professional.
The safari experience was great. Moses, our driver did a fantastic job of making sure that we had the greatest experience. We were planning on doing mostly morning and afternoon drives, but Moses knew that we could see more of the animals if we changed to full day game drives. Because of this we saw more diversity in animals, including Leopards and Rhinos, which are hard to spot.
On our first day, we were scheduled to do a morning/afternoon game drive, but our flight to the Mara was cancelled meaning we arrived at noon. Moses still took us on two game drives to ensure that we didn't miss out due to our flight situation.
On the second day, we had seen everything except a Rhino and we were heading back to the river to try to see a crossing. He got a call on the radio of a Rhino spotting. He turned his car around and drove about 25 minutes in the opposite direction to give us the opportunity to see the Rhino (which we did). At that point, we had been out all day and ready to come home. However, Moses was also determined for us to see a river crossing with Wildebeests. So, he took us to the river crossing (well after the time we could have returned) and after a 30-minute wait for the Wildebeests, we were able to see the crossing.
These are just two examples of Moses going above and beyond to ensure that we saw the animals that we wanted to see, but also had the best possible experience on our trip. Besides that, Moses was great to hang out with. He was always friendly and provided really good information for everything we saw and experienced.
On our way back to the airport (and after our whole safari adventure had ended), we received a call from Lennox asking us about our trip and his service. This showed us that he cared about the quality of the service he provided as well as our overall happiness and experiences.
I cannot say enough good things about Axis Africa Expedition and Safaris. Highly recommend them.

Great experience with a great team!!
The Safari Axis team is really welcoming and professional!
Lennox is always available and give you all the informations you need with no hesitation.
The safari was amazing. We saw everything within a day and a half in Masai Mara.
Lake Nakuru is a great spot too.
The camp we stayed was very welcoming and the tents were clean and nice. You can have the chance to chat with monkeys if you speak their langage :-)
On night time, campfire chat with Masaï and other tourists is always nice after riding all along the national park.
Our guide James is THE MAN! What a lovely, funny and helpful man. He’s definitely the guide you want to have when you are over there.
Smiling all the time, explaining everything and ready to find you the best spots to take pics or just admiring animals.
We definitely recommend this tour. It was worthing the money (which is really interesting compare to some others) so please don’t hesitate to book with them.

Great safari experience
We had an 8-day safari which was amazing. We saw the Big 5 and a lot of other animals and birds. Our driver John took care of us well. Our coordinator Lennox helped a lot with setting everything up for entering and departing the country.

All family satisfied and happy
We booked a budget safari with Axis for our 5 persons family. We were guided and driven by Denis in an old Toyota (didn't buy an upgrade to jeep). The mastery with which Denis drove the car was really appreciable. Especially one tough part during game driving was not easy for 4wheels and they were sliding on the mud, our guide watched other cars, went outside to calculate something and drove through without even losing control like other cars. Impressive! We felt safe while driving on roads too. If you've never been to Kenya then you don't know what sort of horror is on its roads...
Denis was not too talkative but always very informative (and when I compered i formation from him to other guides' info, I could see it was reliable). We made a nice team together- he always listened to us when we wanted eg. stop for buying fruits.
And, the most important: we saw the big 5 and lots of other animals! It's amazing! Only the rhinoceros was not visible in Masai Mara, but our trip included lake Nakuru and there was a family of them that we observed rhinos as well as flamingos but these were not millions (maybe the wrong season?).
Overall great safari and finished with a trip to Masai village, which (after spending some time by the fire camp (Sidai Mara camping) with some of Masai) was a very nice surprise (not initially included in the trip).
Everyone from us was happy (even the teenager!!?)

Great experience - you should do it!
Our 8 days safari was just perfect! Big 5 and other interesting, sometimes rare animals.
Our guide John was helpful and made this trip unforgettable.
Lennox, who is coordinating safaris is responsible and always gave us all answers to my 100+ questions :)
