Very efficient and very well organised with many sightings
We had a very pleasant time with Albert, he was very organised and on time and put a great deal of effort into making sure that we saw as many animals as possible from all possible angles and met everyone's requests with no complaints.

Detail oriented and very communicative
Our experience as a couple on this trip was nothing short of remarkable. We went as a private group, as a couple, and it was one of our favorite experiences together. Jackson Githinji, our guide, and the whole team at Axis Safari’s made our week extremely amazing. The hotels we stayed in were some of the best service we have ever experienced, and we saw thousands of animals on our safari. It was the experience of a lifetime, and our guide Jackson made sure that we enjoyed every second. I would highly recommend Axis Safaris and Jackson in particular for your next Kenyan safari.

Tom was fantastic, this tour is highly recommended!
We did the 3 day safari with Tom. This included 1.5 days of actual game drive time and within that we saw every animal we came for (including 31 lions) which was remarkable. Tom was so knowledgeable, fun, passionate and considerate of the animals, the environment and of us. We are planning our next trip again already, and requesting the same guide for sure!

Incredible experience I’ll remember forever!
We booked a 3 day joining safari to Maasai Mara and were blessed with our tour guide Tom. Tom was an incredible fountain of knowledge and provided information not only about the animals we saw, but the land and nature that is in the park also (personal favourite being the Sausage Tree!). It was well organised and we felt we really got the most out of the safari.
Thank you Axis and thank you Tom for making our experience so memorable. 31 lions in 24 hours!!!!!

Philip was the Best very disciplined and always happy
What a wonderful experience with Axis! Philip was such a delight to work with. He was warm, patient, professional, and incredibly attentive to our needs. From ensuring everything was running smoothly to making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves, he went out of his way to make the experience special.
I particularly loved his friendly nature and the way he made everything feel effortless. There was never a dull moment, and his knowledge, courtesy, and positive attitude made a real difference. It is always refreshing to meet someone who takes genuine pride in their work and treats clients with such respect and kindness.
I would gladly choose Axis again and recommend their services to anyone looking for a memorable experience. Philip, thank you for making our time so enjoyable. You certainly know how to make your clients feel valued!

Phillip was the best.
My experience with Axis was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, Philip made sure everything was well organized, comfortable, and enjoyable. He was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready with a helping hand or a good conversation. What I appreciated most was his patience and attention to detail. Nothing felt rushed, and he made sure we enjoyed every moment of the experience.
Philip has a great personality and knows how to make people feel welcome. By the end of the experience, it felt less like dealing with a company and more like spending time with someone who genuinely cares about his clients. If you are looking for excellent service, good company, and an experience worth remembering, I would highly recommend Axis. Keep up the great work, Philip!

Efficient, professionalism, reliable and responsive.
We had a wonderful safari experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris!
Everything was very well organized from start to finish. The entire team was extremely professional, efficient, reliable and responsive, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.
A special mention goes to our guide, Kevin, who was absolutely fantastic! He was attentive, friendly, patient and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, nature, local culture and everything around us. He always took the time to explain things and answer our questions, making the experience even more interesting, especially for our children.
He was also an excellent and very careful driver, always putting our safety and comfort first, both on the roads and during the game drives.
We felt very well looked after throughout the safari and truly appreciated his dedication and professionalism.
A memorable family adventure that exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic, safe and unforgettable safari experience in Kenya!
Thank you to the entire team, and especially to Kevin, for these wonderful memories!

An unforgettable safari experience with Axis Africa Expeditions!
We have just returned from our four-day safari through Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience with Axis Africa Expeditions.
From our very first contact with Peter, everything was handled professionally, clearly and with complete transparency. Before making our final decision, we exchanged several emails discussing the itinerary, accommodation options and all the details of the trip. Peter was always patient, helpful and happy to explain everything. Communication was excellent throughout, and we knew exactly what we were booking and paying for.
We paid a deposit through a secure payment link and settled the remaining balance in person at the company’s office. Our driver picked us up from our hotel and took us there, which also gave us the chance to meet Peter personally. It was lovely to finally put a face to the name after all those emails!
Everything we had agreed on in advance was delivered exactly as promised. No unpleasant surprises, no last-minute changes and no problems whatsoever.
Our vehicle was a proper 4x4 Land Cruiser. Perhaps not the newest car on the road, but comfortable, reliable and absolutely perfect for a safari.
And then there was our driver and guide, Ahmed Mohamed, who deserves a very special thank you.
Anyone who has travelled on Kenyan roads will understand why we appreciated his driving skills so much! What can sometimes look like complete chaos to a European was clearly no challenge for Ahmed. He remained calm, confident and fully in control, whether overtaking endless trucks or navigating the many different vehicles sharing the road.
But Ahmed was much more than an excellent driver. He was also a wonderful safari guide. On previous safaris, we had travelled with both a driver and a separate ranger who had extensive knowledge of wildlife. This time, Ahmed successfully combined both roles.
He was always happy to answer our questions, explain animal behaviour and share his knowledge. We never felt rushed or that we were asking too much. He was patient, attentive and genuinely committed to making our experience special.
One moment we will particularly remember was his determination to find lions in Amboseli. After hearing information over the radio, he made a real effort to reach the location, despite the considerable distance. And he succeeded! Seeing those lions was one of the highlights of our safari.
Three nights, three completely different experiences
We also want to mention the accommodation, as we were quite involved in choosing our lodges. Each place was completely different, and looking back, we feel that each offered something special.
Amboseli Sopa Lodge was all about atmosphere. Its surroundings, beautiful gardens and the feeling of being close to Kilimanjaro created a wonderful introduction to our safari. It had a charm and character of its own.
Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge in Tsavo West was simply breathtaking. The views over the African bush and the surrounding volcanic hills were extraordinary. Sitting in the restaurant or looking out from our room, watching the landscape and the animals visiting the nearby waterhole, was something we will never forget. There is something truly magical about this place, especially at night. It was one of those experiences where you just sit quietly, look around and realise how lucky you are to be there.
Our final night was at Sentrim Tsavo Lodge in Tsavo East. This was actually an alternative choice, as our originally preferred accommodation was already fully booked. But it turned out to be another memorable experience. Sleeping in a tented room with a solid structure, somewhere between a traditional safari tent and a small cottage, was something quite different from our previous nights.
And then, at around 4 in the morning, lions appeared at the waterhole next to the restaurant! I was able to watch them from an incredibly close distance, while the security guards helped us see them better with their torches. Standing there in the middle of the night, watching wild lions just a short distance away, was an experience I will remember for the rest of my life.
Would we recommend Axis Africa Expeditions? Absolutely!
We saw an incredible number of animals, travelled through three beautiful national parks and came away with memories that will stay with us forever.
A huge thank you to Peter for organising everything so smoothly, patiently answering all our questions and making sure that what was promised was actually delivered.
And an equally big thank you to Ahmed Mohamed for his excellent driving, his patience, his knowledge and all the effort he put into showing us the incredible wildlife and natural beauty of Kenya.
We are genuinely happy that we chose Axis Africa Expeditions. If we return to Kenya for another safari, we would happily book with them again. And if Ahmed were available to be our guide once more, we would ask for him without a second thought.
Highly recommended. A reliable company, wonderful people and a truly unforgettable experience. Thank you, Peter and Ahmed!
