Funny, easy going and with the instinct to find the right watching spot.
We had an amazing safari tour with our guide Richard. Het welcomed us at the airport en brought us to the different safari parks. He was funny and easy to talk to. He gave us lots of information about different animals species and the Masai culture with his wide knowledge. He had the perfect gift of knowing where to park our car which resulted in perfect spots for taking pictures of the animals. Could not wish for a beter guide and safari tour. Thank your Richard and Axis Safaris.

The best 5 days safari with Axis
Our guide and driver, Geeman, made our safari an unforgettable experience. He always seemed to be in the right place at exactly the right time and had an exceptional instinct for finding wildlife. Thanks to him, we enjoyed an incredible number of animal sightings, many of them at close range and in truly special moments.
What impressed us most was how carefully Geeman listened to our wishes. Everything we had hoped for on this safari was not only fulfilled but exceeded by far. His experience, calm manner, and deep understanding of nature made every game drive something special.
It was clear that Geeman is passionate about his work. He knows the national parks extremely well, shares his knowledge generously, answers every question with patience, and makes you feel that you are in the very best hands.
Thank you, Geeman, for this outstanding safari. We would gladly travel with you again at any time and recommend you without hesitation.

Well organised and fun!
Axis were extremely communicative before and during the safari trip. Rita responded very quickly and was able to accommodate a last minute request to change the itinerary.
All transfers were well-organised and the accommodation was comfortable throughout our trip, particularly Enkorok camp.
For the tour itself we had two guides, Leonard really stood out to us as he was very knowledgable and able to find all the animals for us to see. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and even drove us for 11 hours on a full day game drive in Masai Mara.

Amos is the BEST- with his knowledge of the animals, Kenya history and geography, and personality!!
We had the best time on our safari with Axis Africa!! we had a huge group of 27, all family, and Axis accommodated us all perfectly! We called our tour guides, the Big Five! Amos was our personal tour guide and driver. We all fell in love with them. He was SO knowledgeable about Kenya - its history and current political/economical/societal state, the geography, and all things about the animals there. We absolutely fell in love with Amos! His positive and fun personality was contagious, and we will miss being around him. Amos made all of our needs were met, answered all of our questions, and got to know each one of our names and things about us.
We visited the Masai Mara , Lake Navaisha, and Amboseli. We spent a lot of time driving, and Amos made it so enjoyable. Amos wasn’t just our tour guide - he became our good friend. (Long live our War Bus crew!)
We loved working with the other guides, and their positivity, camaraderie and kindness is something that we will also be taking away from our experience in Kenya.

Axis Safaris Turned Our Dream Safari into Reality
From our very first interaction with Axis Safaris everything was effortless. We worked with Tabitha, and she was an absolute star! :) She was incredibly responsive, patient, and happy to customize the itinerary exactly the way we wanted, including booking specific hotels of our choice. Planning a safari can feel overwhelming, but she made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better trip planner.
Our hotel pickup was seamless, and the 4x4 safari vehicle was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for the long drives.
We were lucky enough to have Charles (fondly known as "Sir Charles") as our guide, and honestly, he deserves a review of his own! Haha! With over 16 years of experience, his knowledge of wildlife, animal behavior, and the parks was simply incredible. He was funny, patient, accommodating, and somehow always knew exactly where to be and when.
Whether it was the Black Rock Pride in the Mara, Rhinos at Lake Nakuru, or the magnificent elephants of Amboseli, Sir Charles was constantly in touch with other guides and expertly positioned us for the best sightings. We never had a dull moment :)
One of my favorite memories was in Amboseli. We spotted a herd of elephants far in the distance and were hoping they'd come closer. Instead of chasing them, Sir Charles smiled and said, "Just be patient, they'll come to us." Sure enough, that entire herd walked right in front of our vehicle!!!! We had our Elephant Crossing moment :) it was pure magic and a perfect example of how experience beats luck every time.
He made sure our photographs were perfect, positioning the vehicle at the perfect angles, giving us plenty of time at sightings, and sharing fascinating animal facts throughout the journey. Even the nearly 8-hour drive from Nakuru to Amboseli (via Nairobi) somehow felt comfortable thanks to his smooth driving and well-planned breaks. We felt safe every single minute.
People often say, "A guide can make or break your safari." I used to think that was an exaggeration... until this trip. Now I completely believe it. If we ever return to Kenya, we'll be asking for Sir Charles without a second thought :)
Thank you Axis snd Sir Charles for making our trip unforgettable ❤️

Exceptional guides, nice trucks, so fun.
Went on safari with my family and their families, 27 people in total, ages 6-74. Our guides Khalifa and Kevin were exceptional. The most important part of the trip is the guide and Axis did great. Thank you so much!

very professionel, helpful and good organised
We went on a 3-day safari to the Maasai Mara National Reserve, and it was an unforgettable experience! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish.
We stayed at Wild Nest Mara, and the accommodation exceeded our expectations. The tents were very clean, comfortable, and equipped with a private shower and hot water. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The food was also excellent.
A special thank you to our guide, Wycliffe, who made this trip truly unforgettable. He showed us the incredible beauty of the Maasai Mara, shared fascinating knowledge about the wildlife and the reserve, and made sure we had the best possible safari experience. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help.
We absolutely loved every moment of our time in the Maasai Mara and can highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kenya. We would definitely do it again!

Excellent
We are a family and have just finished a 3-day safari in the Masai Mara with Wycliffe. It was an amazing experience! Our guide was very kind and helpful; he knows the park perfectly and often took us off the beaten path to look for animals or get a closer view. We saw top predators from just a meter away and an incredible number of animals of every species in huge herds. We highly recommend Axis Africa!!!

Amazing
It was an incredible experience. These days in the Maasai Mara will be unforgettable. Our guide, Wycliffe, was fantastic...always kind, helpful, and very thoughtful. We saw an incredible number of animals and, with the exception of the rhino, all the Big Five. We couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Wycliffe.
