INCREDIBLE
Incredible 5 days safari! (Masai Mara, Amboselli, Nakuru and Lake Navaisha) With all the effort of our wonderful guide Rodger we were lucky enough to spot the Big5. Because of him we've learned a lot about the wildlife and many other subject, he has a great knowledge.
Keep in mind there is long distance between parks, but you can nap and rest during transportation. Communication with agency and tour guide was very responsive. We chose mid-range accomodation and honestly it was great, above our expectation!
Thank you Rodger for making this trip memorable, we really enjoyed it!

Fantastic safari experience
Bucket list item checked and huge thanks to Axis Africa for a truly wonderful experience!
Lennox and Cynthia were prompt and clear with their responses to my questions months before the trip. Communication was great both on emails and WhatsApp. 6am Airport pickup was on time, had a nice breakfast before meeting the rest of the group and before the longggggg drive.
We saw the Big 5 and more at Masai Mara, Crescent Island, Nakuru and Naivasha. Big shout out to our driver/guide Johnny Jac who was terrific: he made sure to give us the perfect photo angles, bathroom breaks and made us feel safe the entire time on safari. He’s a great animal spotter and seemed well-liked by other drivers and park rangers.
Some tips I want to share:
Make sure you book a Land Cruiser instead of Van. Our Land Cruiser had WiFi and charging ports. We moved a lot faster than those in a van. There’s HOURS of rough roads to see these wild animals and Land Cruiser is the way to go (or fly to Masai Mara).
Bring wipes, slippers, protein bars, snacks, sunblock, hat and mosquito repellant. Our doctor prescribed malaria pills. Axis provided bottled waters, box lunches and meals in the camp and hotel.
Bring small bills/cash to TIP the driver, park guides & hotel staff, and to buy souvenirs. There’s no ATM or Venmo in the wild and at Masai Village.
Again: Asante Sana (thank you) Johnny! We had a fantastic 1st safari experience with you and recommend you highly!

Amazing Masai Mara Safari
The trip was amazing. Axis Africa and our driver Jack were super friendly, flexible and accommodating.
The tour itself was truly an amazing experience. We got to see all different kinds of animals, including lions, cheetahs, hippos, elephants , zebras and many more.
Jack was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He made sure that we had the best trip possible.
The optional Masai Village was also a wonderful experience and a real privilege.
I would definitely recommend.

Very professional and organized
We did the 3 day 2 night budget option and it was well worth it. We saw most animals we wanted to see, and the camp staff was accommodating. The food served was good too, and our guide Jack was very good.

Experienced
Our guide Khalifa was very friendly, knowledged and very experienced. He answered our endless questions, drove very smoothly, gave us flexibility with different options for the game drives and thanks to him, we saw many animals and learned about them. We’d definitely recommend going on a tour with him, thank you for the tour!

Finding animals where least expected
As somebody who has never went on a safari before, this was an amazing experience. Our guide, Jack, exceeded my expectations when it came to finding the animals of the savannah. For example, at the start of the tour I expressed skepticism that we would be able to see cheetahs, since I imagined them to be secretive and hard to catch, but on Day 2 we found an entire family of cheetahs enjoying their meal. In addition, the other highlight animals were lions, elephants, hippos, and hyenas (though no rhinos, but Jack explicitly said they were rare to find). Besides seeing animals, we also went to the Kenyan-Tanzanian border, which satisfied the geography nerd in me.
That said, it is important to come into the tour with reasonable expectations, as the reality is you will be in a rural part of a developing country. You will need to bring your own toiletries, headlamps, and mosquito protection; be prepared to take cold/lukewarm showers as well, and have electricity cut off at night. Of course, this is in and of itself part of the experience, as you would get a taste of how most of the world live their daily lives.

Amazing experience
The safari was amazing and we absolutely adored our driver Khalifa. He went out of his way for us to see the rhino and we managed to see the whole big 5. Will absolutely recommend it to all our friends and anybody who is interested.
