Great!!
We did the 4 day safari private tour in Masai Mara and Nakuru. It was an experience we will never forget!
The booking process was very easy. It was overwhelming to choose from hundreds of companies, but Thabita did a great job answering all questions for us. I would write in WhatsApp and she answered within minutes which made it very easy to book.
Our driver Collin was extremely knowledgeable about history, culture and animals which made the trip very interesting. We always felt safe, and he went above and beyond so we could see all the different animals and take pictures. Asante sana Collin!!
Hotels were amazing too, specially recommend Nakuru Lodge.
Only thing to be aware are the distances from one place to the other. I expected this to be shorter since I used Google Maps as reference. This trip felt good, but it is many hours in the car which might be tiring for some. Consider travel times can be longer because of traffic or roads, so plan some extra time.

An unforgettable Kenyan safari experience
Together with my wife, we spent four days with Axis and had an absolutely fantastic safari experience. We were picked up early from our airport hotel and drove straight to the Maasai Mara, where we checked in at PrideInn Mara. After a quick lunch, we went on our first game drive and what an experience it was!
The following day, while staying at PrideInn Mara, we spent the whole day on a game drive and saw even more incredible wildlife. The next morning, we started early and drove to Lake Nakuru. A short game drive after our arrival gave us the opportunity to see rhinos and flamingos, and the Lake Nakuru Lodge was fantastic.
On our fourth day, we woke up very early for our final game drive and were lucky enough to see a pair of rhinos running right in front of us. A perfect way to end the safari.
Overall, the safari was an unforgettable experience. Our guide was kind and very knowledgeable about the animals and, being local, was also able to share interesting insights into Kenyan history and culture. At times, we would have appreciated a little more patience when asking questions, although we understand that driving long distances on challenging roads and dealing with the various conditions along the way can be demanding.
One other point worth keeping in mind, as the distances are sometimes less obvious when looking at tour descriptions, is the amount of time spent travelling between Nairobi, the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, etc. Google Maps estimates do not always reflect the actual road conditions, traffic, and stops, so I would personally add an additional 1–2 hours on top of the estimated driving times.
Despite these minor points, we had a wonderful experience with Axis and would definitely recommend the safari. The wildlife, landscapes, and overall experience were amazing.
Excellent, reliable transfer service with Desmond
We had an excellent experience with Safarilink SA and our driver, Desmond. He was punctual, arriving early and messaging us to let us know he was waiting outside our accommodation. Desmond was very friendly and chatty, making the journey enjoyable, and he provided bottled water for the trip, which was a thoughtful touch. He also stopped halfway for a comfort break, ensuring we had a comfortable journey to Pilanesberg. The transfer was smooth, reliable and stress-free, and we felt well looked after throughout. We would happily recommend Safarilink SA and Desmond to anyone travelling

Amazing experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro!!
We had an incredible experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and a huge part of that was down to the amazing team who looked after us throughout the whole trek.
Our guides, Ladi and Dennis, were absolutely brilliant. They were knowledgeable, encouraging and supportive from start to finish. They kept our spirits high, made sure we were comfortable, and helped us push through. We genuinely wouldn’t have been able to do it without them, and we’re so grateful for everything they did to help us reach the summit.
The entire team was fantastic, from the chef and porters to everyone behind the scenes. They couldn’t do enough for us and made us feel welcome from day one. The food was great, the service was incredible, and it was clear how much effort everyone put into making our experience as enjoyable as possible.
We would 100% recommend this company to anyone looking to climb Kilimanjaro. An unforgettable experience with an amazing group of people!

A dream come true. It has been an unforgettable safari
A dream came true. The safari with Axis Africa has been really incredible and did not expect something like that. All the 4 days were well organized.
A special mention to our guide, Laso.
Not only has a been an excellent driver, but he allowed us to see all the big 5 and many other animals. It was wonderful.
He always took care about us, paying attention, answering all our questions and providing us lots of details and curiosity about all animals.
I do really would suggest and recommend Laso if you want experience an unforgettable Safari.

We had the best guide Laso
We had an amazing safari experience with our guide, Laso. He was with us for 2 days in the Masai Mara and 1 day covering Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru.
Laso was very knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and professional throughout the trip. He gave us so much interesting information about the animals, their behavior, the different species, and the ecosystem. He was also excellent at spotting animals and making sure we had great opportunities to see and photograph them.
We were traveling with our 3-year-old son, and Laso was very accommodating and made the experience comfortable and enjoyable for our whole family.
Thank you, Laso, for making our safari so memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and friendly safari guide!

Cool
We had a great safari experience overall and everything went very smoothly. A special mention to Joseph, our driver and guide, who was absolutely amazing. He was extremely kind, helpful, professional and attentive throughout the entire safari. He always made sure we were comfortable, helped us with everything we needed and really made the whole experience even better.
The only thing we would have preferred differently was our first accommodation at Lenchada Camp in Masái Mara. It wasn’t really to our liking, and we would have appreciated being given a few accommodation options to choose from beforehand instead of having the camp assigned directly. Joseph was incredibly helpful with this situation as well and helped us arrange an alternative.
Apart from that, everything was perfect. We are very happy with the safari and especially grateful to Joseph for taking such good care of us. Highly recommended!

The operator made us feel comfortable. Everything went on as planned.
The operator shared with us all the necessary information in time so we were not caught unaware.
The operator kept time and made us and our children feel comfortable.
