John Mwangi is efficient and punctual. He gets us into good spots to take photos
From booking to the end of the tour, the experience with Axis Africa has been great. They are responsive to our enquires and helpful in making arrangements.

Generally satisfied.
・I participated in a 3-day, 2-night tour; although the game drive on the first day was only 2–3 hours long, it still required an entrance fee, so I opted to join only the game drive on the second day to save money. Even so, I was able to enjoy a full day of safari activities and was very satisfied with the experience. The guide also provided plenty of commentary about the animals.
There was no set end time for the game drive, and we had no subsequent plans, so we were free to return to our accommodation whenever we liked; however, the guide seemed eager to wrap things up by late afternoon—hurrying us along for some reason whenever we stopped to take photos—which I found a bit unpleasant.
・When I went to the river to see hippos, I was guided by an armed guard, but I felt uncomfortable because I was essentially forced to give a tip. However, since there were so many other people around, I don't think this practice is limited to just this tour company.
・The price included transportation, but for the return trip, I wasn't taken back to my hotel; instead, I was told to take a taxi from the office—for some reason, they wouldn't drive me. Since it was only 1.5 km away, I walked. However, other people whose hotels were on the way back *were* given a ride.
・This is slightly off-topic regarding the tour company itself, but I stayed at a partner budget-friendly accommodation. Another person on the same tour forgot their wallet there; they were contacted about it, but 1,000 KSH had been stolen from it.

Safari in Kenya
Our safari experience was great. The best part was hiring a Spanish-speaking guide and translator (Antony Warui).
100% recommended. He looked after us, protected us, and never left us alone. He answered many of our questions and was very professional. He has extensive knowledge of the wildlife. Hiring him was a fantastic decision, and we plan to recommend him to family and friends. We also want to thank our driver, Peter Kapino, who was very knowledgeable about the area and showed us the Big Five safari animals.
Well Organized Private Safari
We had a great experience with Axis Africa Safaris and would definitely recommend them.
The communication with Rita was excellent from the very beginning. She always replied quickly, answered all our questions in detail, and the entire booking process was smooth and professional. The itinerary matched what had been promised, everything was well organized, and all arrangements worked perfectly.
Our only suggestion for improvement would be the guiding. Our driver was a very good driver and did an excellent job finding wildlife, but we would have appreciated a more proactive guide who shared more information about the animals, nature, culture, and the places we visited without us having to ask.
Overall, it was a fantastic safari with great value for money, and we would happily book with Axis Africa Safaris again.

Kevin A. was an outstanding safari guide. He was always punctual, professional, friendly, and extrem
Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris was easy to communicate with throughout the booking and tour process. Everything was handled efficiently and professionally. Our driver and guide, Kevin A., was outstanding—professional, friendly, knowledgeable, punctual, and great company throughout the safari.
The staff at Amboseli Sopa Lodge were excellent, and we upgraded to the Presidential Suite, which was well worth it and made our stay even more enjoyable.
The only area for improvement would be the food at the lodge, which was disappointing compared to the otherwise excellent experience. Perhaps alternative dining options could be considered for future trips.
Overall, a memorable safari and highly recommended.
He made sure we had the best time, excellent tour operator.
You get a good value for your money. Very reliable, excellent communication with the custumers. Only they moght sometimes slighty change a few things on the scheduel. Overall a very good experience. Jef, our tour operator, was an excellent guide.

Our operator Jeff did everything he could to give us the experience we wanted.
The hospitality is very nice. Good car, good service. Schedule could be more accurate.
Well organized & kind
I’ve spent 3 days on safari with Axis and my journey was well organized, kind and spectacular combined with a fair price in total.
Especially Robert, our guide, did his best to ensure that everyone feels comfortable, tried to get the animals we wanna to see, and had many background information about the animals.
Was a great experience. Definitely recommend it!
