Delivers!
I really enjoyed the safari organised by Axis. Our driver, Tribon, was very knowledgeable and also good fun! He went the extra mile for me ensuring I arrived safely at my new apartment after the safari which I was so grateful for as I was very tired!
Tabitha was an excellent sales rep, she answered all my questions promptly and patiently, it was her pro-activeness that led my to choose this company over others.
My only niggle was that I had specific dietary requirements that were not passed on to the lodge or restaurant. In the case of the lodge, Sankale camp , they were excellent and really accommodated me well. Hint - if you stay budget bring plenty of mosquito repellent, I used citronella incense sticks in the bathroom which worked great!
We saw lots of beautiful animals and enjoyed the scenery immensely. I chose not to take the nature walk along the banks of the Masai river as it was just too hot at 2 pm for me :) maybe take an umbrella for shade .
The visit to the Masai was interesting. Thank you Axis for a great trip!

Got to see all the animals (except rhino but that’s very rare) so we had a great time!
The organization was great, punctual pick up from the hotel and good introduction at the office. The camp (option 2) was also amazing and the whole trip had excellent value for money with a longer than expected game drive on the first day, good food and a nice and comfortable land cruiser. The tour itself was also successful as we got to see all animals and our guide got us to the best spots. However, we would have liked to hear a bit more from him about the animals/environment. He was on the phone and/or radio a lot which we assume he did to hear about other animal locations but often it felt like just random conversations and chatting to friends. When on the phone it also didn’t feel like he was looking out for animals that much, sometimes we had to spot them and tell him for him to notice. Also, when being with animals it would have been nice to turn radio and phone off to be in the moment and tell us guests a little bit about the animals. We always had to ask if we wanted to know something which felt a bit weird, especially with him being on the phone a lot. Generally, some more communication with us guests would have been nice, to hear about what the plan is, where we are going next and so on. On the second day for example we went back to the camp earlier than expected without knowing that we were heading back. Turns out this was the plan from the beginning since we started very early and that concluded the full day game drive but it would just have been nice to know that beforehand because we ended up being a bit surprised. Just a bit more engagement with the guests in general would be beneficial I think! To conclude, these are all minor issues and we still had an amazing time and can definitely recommend going with Axis!

Wonderful tour
It was an amazing experience. Only the hotels could be a bit better. Perhaps the luxury option would be a better experience.

Great
We had a great experience with Axis Africa Safaris! We went for a 3 day trip from Nairobi to Masai Mara. After arriving we had a quick lunch and immediately went into the park for a game drive. The second day we went on a full day of game drives. Our driver Ken did an amazing job. He really knew how to get the best positions to view the wildlife. On the third day we visited a Masai village and made our way back to Nairobi. Had a great trip, would highly recommend if you want a short safari trip!
Axis Africa provides a highly professional and memorable safari experience that is well worth it.
We had a wonderful time with Axis Africa! The communication from start to finish was excellent and all details were clearly explained. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and worked hard to find amazing wildlife sightings. The service was consistently great, with smooth logistics and comfortable accommodations. While representing good value, there were minor aspects that, for us, held it just short of a five-star rating. However, I would not hesitate to recommend them for a reliable and thoroughly enjoyable expedition.

Overall, the safari experience was good. Our guide, Ben, was an excellent driver and got us to see a lioness hunting in the Maasai Mara — thanks for his guidance and support. By the fourth day, we had spotted all of the Big Five and were incredibly lucky to see a lion pride up close in Nakuru. Camps are beyond our expectations and we love the sounds of nature.
Due to the rainy weather, we had to end our Maasai Mara trip bit earlier. Otherwise, we might have had the chance to see more hunting scenes. For Crescent Island, we paid the entrance fee but didn’t actually go onto the island, and only walked along the mainland shore.
4 out of 5.

Tour operator had good and fast communication.
Despite we had to be ready at the hotel (very close by the office) at 6.50 A.M. and we left at 9.30! The rest of the trip was good on time.
We had a great driver Brian who showed us all the animals possible in the park. I've seen so many animals, it was beyond my expectation. We even got to see a leopard. But also the elephants with small ones were great. And all the lions, cheetas, girafs, zebras etc Thank you Brian.
What I didn't like was that you had to go to the Masai Village and there you felt obligated to pay 20 dollars. It would have been better if this was in the travel price.
Another tip: it would have been nicer if all people in the car would stay in the same camp. So they can enjoy the dinner with the experience together.

Very Savvy!
The overall experience about the Safari was amazing, especially thanks to our guide Amoz, he found a perfect spot to see lions in Masai Mara!
I would recommend to curate a bit better next time the tour as in our group we had a very rude and disrespectful couple making sometimes the trip a bit unpleasant for everyone. I would suggest is best to have at most 6-7 people in the group.
Overall good job!
