Geeman was very knowledgeable and knew exactly where the animals are and when to see them
The tour guide was great and very well organised. Geeman was very good and knew a lot about the animals and the park. The accomodation requires a better description online for new customers trying to book. Pictures of the tents would be better so they get an idea of what to expect.

Reliable and helpful person, he drives well and we manage to arrive place on time.
In general the trip is good. We see many animals and went to the three parks that we booked. Hotel rooms are all booked correctly, there is no bad situation happen to us.
The only thing might be a bit annoying is, as we are a small group, we swapped the travelling buddies twice and due to that, I feel we might waste some time on the way. It is understandable that other companies do this as well. It is just a matter of expectations.
James is our guide, he is a good one, we followed the schedule mostly on time and we saw a lot of animals.
We did not manage to go Masai village or Naivasha lake, as we have tight schedule on the travelling.
Thanks a lot to Axis Africa for the amazing trip. Really appreciate it.

The safari tour was a great experience!
The safari tour with Axis was a fantastic experience. We were on the road for five days and booked the safari directly in Nairobi, where Cynthia gave us excellent advice. The pickup from our hotel worked perfectly and was very punctual.
We booked a mix of mid-range and budget accommodations. The mid-range hotel, "Jambo Lodge," was really nice, clean, and had good food and friendly staff. However, the boxed lunch for the trip was pretty meager.
The two budget hotels in Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, however, were unfortunately very budget-friendly (extremely noisy, making it almost impossible to sleep). The food wasn't good either; there wasn't much choice, especially for vegetarians, except for some rice or mashed potatoes, and both hotels only served extremely heavy meals like meat in sauce, rice, etc.). So, it's worth paying a little more and booking the mid-range accommodations.
Our driver, Lawrence, was great. He was always punctual, patient, and you could tell he had a lot of experience and knew where the animals were. He was also able to give us a lot of fascinating information about the animals and the surrounding area.
We always left quite early in the morning (around 6:30 a.m.) and then had lunch between 1 and 2 p.m. About seven hours without food is a bit long, so the whole group kept refueling with snacks they had bought themselves. This is definitely something that could be improved.
Overall, however, we were very satisfied with the tour and the organization. Thank you very much!

Generally is good.
Jack is excellent driving, warm service, enthusiastic hunting and serious looking for animals, let us experience the fun of safari but the quality of accommodation is different, there is insufficient water for showering for several nights, and there is no hot water.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our trip to Masai Mara was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five and even partially witness the migration – an incredible sight. We spent 2 nights and 3 days in the reserve, and Axis handled everything seamlessly, from initial communication and hotel transfers to park transport, accommodation, and meals. The entire process was smooth and well-organized.
We stayed at Wild Nest Mara Camp, which was a lovely and comfortable place. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the location and facilities were excellent.
The only reason we’re not giving a full score is because of our guide. While he did his job as a driver, he didn’t offer much information unless we asked specific questions. We had hoped for more background and insight into the park, the wildlife, and the region, which we feel is an important part of the experience. Others in our group shared the same opinion. Additionally, the jeep we traveled in seemed quite outdated compared to others we saw in the park.
Despite this, the overall experience was amazing, and we’ll cherish the memories forever.
