An Unforgettable Kenyan Adventure with Axis Safari and the Exceptional Raymond
Our recent safari to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with Axis Safari was an absolute dream come true, exceeding every expectation and leaving us with memories to last a lifetime. From the moment we began planning to the final farewell, Axis Safari demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and a genuine commitment to providing an unparalleled experience.
The itinerary itself was perfectly crafted, offering a fantastic blend of the iconic Masai Mara's vast plains teeming with the "Big Five" and the unique beauty of Lake Nakuru, with its breathtaking flamingo spectacle and rhino sanctuary. Every game drive felt like a National Geographic documentary unfolding before our eyes, filled with incredible wildlife encounters and stunning landscapes. The accommodations selected were comfortable and well-situated, allowing for both relaxation and easy access to the parks.
However, what truly elevated this safari from excellent to extraordinary was our guide, Raymond. Words scarcely do justice to his remarkable skills and wonderful personality. Raymond is not just a driver; he is a walking encyclopedia of the Kenyan wilderness. His knowledge of the animals, their behaviors, the flora, and the local culture was profound and endlessly fascinating. He effortlessly spotted elusive creatures, often before we even knew they were there, and patiently answered every question, no matter how trivial.
Beyond his expertise, Raymond's passion for the wildlife and his dedication to our experience shone through in every interaction. He was incredibly patient, always ensuring we had ample time for photos and observation, and his enthusiasm was infectious. He possessed an uncanny ability to anticipate our needs and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and safe throughout the journey. His sense of humor, friendly demeanor, and genuine care for his guests made him feel less like a guide and more like a cherished travel companion.
Thanks to Raymond, we not only witnessed the incredible beauty of Kenya but also gained a deeper appreciation for its delicate ecosystems and vibrant culture. His insightful commentary and engaging stories enriched every moment, making the long drives fly by.
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Axis Safari for anyone considering a Kenyan adventure, especially a Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru itinerary. And if you have the privilege of having Raymond as your guide, consider yourself incredibly lucky. He is a true gem, and his expertise and warmth will undoubtedly make your safari an experience you'll never forget. Thank you, Axis Safari, and a massive thank you to the brilliant Raymond for an absolutely perfect journey!

Serengeti Green went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing Safari Adventure.
We arrived to TZ after a 24 hr flight-our luggage did not. We stared safari the next day. SG facilitated the arrival of our luggage to the Serengeti airstrip as quickly as possible. Otherwise, we would have been on safari for 6 days without being able to change our clothes. Total life saver! The amount of wildlife I saw surpassed my dreams!

Amazing experience
Trekking with gorillas with Big Apes was an incredible experience — it made our trip complete and absolutely perfect.
The initial service from Bella was excellent; she helped us and answered all our questions with great care.
During the tour, our guide Blair was more than just a guide — he was kind, attentive, punctual, and went above and beyond by assisting us with immigration, helping us find an ATM, sharing insights about the region, and giving great advice for the trek.
Our lodge, Bweza, was exceptional — everything was clean, beautiful, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming.
The gorilla trek itself is truly one-of-a-kind. Everyone should have the opportunity to experience it at least once in their life, and I highly recommend doing it with Big Apes.

Amazing Experience !
We booked the safari online, for our trip in June 2025. Everything went according to the program as received prior to our departure !
We booked the 6 days safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. We got picked up at the Jocky Tours office in the city center where we paid for the trip (be careful as there is a 5% tax if you pay the safari by card), and then we departed in a Jeep with 5 other amazing people. Accomodation in the Masai Mara wasn't as great as we thought it would be : we were in tented camp but electricity isn't on most of the day, no plugs in the tent and you have to ask for a little bit of hot water if you want to take a shower. The tent was also visibly old and lack insulation. However, accomodation in Lake Nakuru was fine, a hotel in the city with everything you need, and the one in Amboseli was AMAZING. It was a tented camp in the middle of nowhere so scenary is incredible, food was amazing and diverse, everyone working here makes sure you feel comfortable and the tent was really nice (electricity, plugs and hot water, nice bed). We would have loved to stay more than two nights there !
Our guide for the safari was Joseph. He has been working as a tour guide for years, and his knowledge about animals, nature and locations is incredible. We got to see all of the animals up close as he knows exactly their behaviour, their path and their caracteristics. We learned so much about the animals thanks to him, which made the experienve even better. He also deeply respect the animals and would never do anything to hurt/frighten them, which was very important to us. Joseph, is you see this, THANK YOU for this amazing experience, you deserve the world ! If you can, definitely ask for Joseph as your tour guide, we cannot recommend him enough.
Overall, this was a once in a lifetime experience. We're going back home with so much memories and we're so thankful to have experienced this !

We had a great time on our three day safari with William! He went above and beyond to provide us with an unforgettable experience. We had great talks and laughs and we were able to see the big 5 and learned so much about the animals in the park. The accommodation was good with great service and food! We highly recommend this tour and give our gratitude to William and John! Thank you!:))

Amazing experience
The safari with Axis was amazing! From the very beginning, the service was excellent. Tabitha was very patient and kind, always willing to answer questions and offer help.
During the trip, everyone was punctual and respectful. Our guide, Johnny, was great — he has a lot of experience spotting animals during the safari and guided us with skill and confidence.
Highly recommended!
