One of the biggest surprises
We had an amazing time during these 4 days. Thank you Jack for your kindness, knowledge and respect, both to animals and people. We would definitely repeat everything from the beginning.

An unforgettable Amboseli safari with expert service from Kelvin Waigi
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Axis Safaris | Guide: Kelvin Waigi
My partner Enrique and I visited Amboseli with high expectations, and Kelvin exceeded every one of them.
From our first game drive, it was clear that Kelvin is an exceptional guide. His knowledge of animal behaviour, tracking skills, and understanding of the landscape allowed us to experience wildlife encounters we would have otherwise missed.
Some of the highlights included a huge elephant herd crossing the plains beneath Mount Kilimanjaro and the unforgettable sight of a cheetah attempting to hunt a group of wildebeest. We also enjoyed incredible sightings of buffalo, hippos, giraffes, zebras, baboons, and a remarkable variety of birdlife.
Kelvin’s expertise extended beyond mammals. His passion for birding helped us spot numerous species, including Lilac-breasted Rollers, Grey Crowned Cranes, Pelicans, Spur-winged Geese, Blacksmith Plovers, Marabou Storks, and Superb Starlings.
What made the experience even better was Kelvin himself. He was always friendly, professional, and attentive, providing excellent service throughout our stay. As Spanish travellers, we especially appreciated that he spoke not only excellent English but also Spanish, which made communication easy and added a personal touch to the experience.
The only disappointment was that Kelvin could not accompany us on the Masai Mara portion of our trip. We genuinely considered changing our plans just to continue travelling with him.
Kelvin, thank you for making our Kenya safari one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. We will definitely return and will be asking for you by name.

Excellent
Axis Safaris
Guide: Kelvin Waigi
Where do I even begin. Kelvin is not just a guide, he is a storyteller, a tracker, and one of the most passionate people I have ever met. My partner Carmen and I came to Amboseli with high hopes, and Kelvin exceeded every single one of them.
From the very first game drive, it was clear this man was on a different level. He read the land like a map animal behaviour, wind direction, distant dust clouds, things we would have driven straight past.
Elephants A massive herd of 30 crossing the plain with Kilimanjaro rising behind them. Kelvin knew everything about them, Jaw-dropping.
Lions — He spotted a lioness stalking through tall grass that we would have completely missed. We watched her and two cubs for nearly an hour.
Cheetah — The highlight of the trip. A mother with three cubs resting under an acacia. Kelvin told us most visitors never see cheetah in Amboseli. We felt incredibly lucky.
Buffalo, Hippos, Giraffes, Zebras — All spectacular, always perfectly positioned by Kelvin for photos.
Birds — Kelvin is a brilliant birder too. He pointed out the Lilac-breasted Roller, Grey Crowned Cranes, Pelicans gliding over the swamps, a Spur-winged Goose, Blacksmith Plovers by the waterline, Marabou Storks, Superb Starlings.
The only sadness was that Kelvin couldn't join us for the Masai Mara leg — we were flying and a different vehicle was arranged there. We genuinely considered changing the plan just to keep him with us. That is how good he is.
Kelvin, thank you. You made our Kenya safari the most memorable trip of our lives. We will be back and will be asking for you by name.
Plus he speaks no only English but Spanish, as well!

Amazing 😻
We had an amazing Kenya safari experience with Axis. The planning process was smooth, and Tabitha was incredibly responsive, helpful, and prompt with every query. Our guide, Khalifa, was outstanding—professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about the Masai Mara. His expertise helped us spot incredible wildlife and made the whole trip unforgettable. Highly recommend Axis for anyone planning a safari in Kenya!
Excellent service
Robert and Rogers took us to Masai Mara, Hells Gate in Naivasha and Olpajeta Conservancy with exhilarating views and scenic stops along the way. They were very professional and the whole safari experience was great. Highly recommend Axis. Thanks to Cynthia for organizing the whole experience

Axis Africa made the tour memorable, convenient, & organized.
I would like to give a shoutout to our guide Mr. Nelson aka Simba who made our tour memorable. Simba was punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable. He accommodated our requests on our private tour and tried to get us the best wildlife viewings possible. If you ever book a tour with Axis Africa, Simba is your guy. As for Axis Africa, they were prompt in responding to any questions or concerns and managed the tour well.

Smooth logistics and excellent guide
The experience was really smooth end-to-end across my booked days, with our guide/driver Ben's ability in giving us a optimal experience central to it (e.g., getting us to the right spots in time with the most interesting wildlife events happening in the parks).
If smoothness of experience is important to you along with competent guides who show genuine interest in giving you the best experience, Axis africa is the ideal operator choice, where you can just sit back and relax during the safaris.
Best experience of my Life ❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My safari with Axis Africa Safaris was truly one of the best experiences of my life. We covered the breathtaking Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and the wildlife sightings were beyond anything I had imagined. From lion prides, majestic male lions and lionesses to multiple kills and predators enjoying their hunt, every game drive was filled with unforgettable moments. We even had an incredibly close cheetah sighting and saw countless other wild animals along the way.
The highlight of the trip was finally completing the Big Five after spotting the African rhino in Nakuru. A huge thank you to our guide, Mr. Collin Sempele, whose expertise, dedication, and sharp eye made all the difference. He was outstanding at his job and ensured we had some truly spectacular sightings throughout the journey.
I couldn’t have asked for a better guide or safari experience. Thank you, Axis Africa Safaris, for memories that will last a lifetime. I can’t wait to return to Kenya for another adventure! 🦁🐆🦏🌍✨
