Two thumbs up for a fun and informative guide.
We had the most incredible experience with Issack at the Masai Mara. He was funny and informative. I swear he knew all the best spots to find hidden animals. An experience we will never forget.

“They make sure every moment of the trip counts.
Our tour guide Willy was amazing! He was knowledgeable, spoke good English, and was also a very patient and reliable driver. Even with our long flight delay, he waited for us and welcomed us with a warm “Hakuna Matata,” which made us feel so much more at ease after the long journey.
He really went all out to make sure we got the most out of our trip. He made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to see, and even contacted other guides in his community to find the best spots for us to get good photos. And with the rough roads, we always felt safe with him driving.
Really grateful to have had him as our guide — he made the whole experience so much more enjoyable! 🦁❤️

An unforgettable safari made special by excellent organization, patience, and an amazing guide.
We had such a wonderful safari with Emanuel Silayo. He was calm, patient and very attentive throughout the whole trip. He always took his time to make sure we had the best possible experience, and his patience paid off when we were able to witness the incredible wildebeest river crossing. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was well arranged and we felt very well taken care of. Thank you, Emanuel, for making our safari so memorable!

A trip for lifetime
We had an amazing safari experience and are extremely happy with the whole trip.
Our trip coordinator, Morris, was excellent from start to finish. He was very good at planning the itinerary and communication was always clear and prompt, both before the trip and throughout our journey. Everything was well organised, which made the whole experience very smooth and stress-free.
Our guide, Joseph, was also fantastic. He was extremely good at spotting animals and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the parks. He was always punctual, drove safely even on some very difficult roads, and worked hard to make sure we had the best possible safari experience.
We were incredibly lucky with our wildlife sightings. We saw four of the Big Five, with rhinos being the only ones we missed. One of the biggest highlights was seeing wildebeest crossing while lions and crocodiles were hunting — both on land and in the water. It was such an incredible and unforgettable experience. We also had several very close lion sightings, including a few occasions where it was just our car there, which made those moments even more special.
Overall, we had a fantastic trip and couldn’t be happier with the experience. A huge thank you to Morris and Joseph for making our safari so memorable. We would definitely recommend them!

Amazing adventure
Since the moment of reservation, contact with Fiona was excellent. Answers for my questions came without delays.
I've chosen 10-days Safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Safari was really well organised, our drivers-guides were very helpful and competent (especially Musa in Kenya).
It happened that some accomodation had been changed, but always for the same or even better standard.
Overall, I can strongly recommend this trip.

Incredible wildlife sightings and perfect holiday with Richard, a fantastic Masai guide!
Our group had a wonderful time on our Masai Mara Safari with Axis Africa. We want to specifically thank our guide Richard and organizer Lucy for making the experience so memorable. We went during peak season and were pleasantly surprised that the crowds were fine and there were plenty of animals to see, especially large herds of wildebeest/zebras for the Great Migration.
It makes a big difference to have a local guide, specifically a member of the Masai community. Richard went above and beyond since it was clear that he personally cared about having great wildlife sightings. We are grateful to have seen all of the "Big 5" animals including the rare leopard and black rhino. Nothing was rushed and we had a comfortable experience throughout.
We also appreciate that Axis Africa was able to curate the itinerary to fit our precise needs as a group. We absolutely recommend them to others looking to go on safari.

Best family vacation with fantastic guide
My group of 7 had the most amazing time in the Masai Mara with Richard and Axis Africa Safaris. The quality of your guide makes or breaks the experience, so it's essential to choose somebody reliable and who you would genuinely enjoy spending hours with each day in the car. Richard is very knowledgeable, patiently answered all of our questions, and went the extra mile (literally!) to show us some of the rarest animals.
The accommodations were all very comfortable, the food was tasty, and overall this was certainly the most special vacation for everybody in our group of 7. It was our first safari and we're already talking about how we want to return!

Super safari
Everything was perfect; Peter the driver and Erick the translator were incredibly kind and paid great attention to every detail... we managed to see the Big Five and so many other animals. Highly recommended.

Fantastic week-long great migration experience
I recently returned from a week-long safari as a solo traveler and photographer, and it exceeded my expectations in every way.
From the very beginning, the office was fantastic to work with. They responded quickly to every message and were incredibly helpful in accommodating all my customization requests. The lodges they arranged were consistently good quality throughout the trip.
The vehicle itself was like-new and in excellent condition. It came equipped with cold refreshments, snacks, and even internet access — but as a photographer, what I appreciated most were the bean bags!
A huge part of what made this trip special was my guide, Makundi. He was punctual every single day and flexible whenever I wanted to adjust plans or chase a particular shot. Beyond that, he's simply an excellent driver and clearly very experienced in the field — his knowledge of both animals and plants was impressive, and I loved the facts and fun facts he shared along the way. He knows the parks inside and out, and it was obvious he's well-liked and respected among the other guides too. Some of my favorite moments were the storytelling during dinners, the bush lunch and coffee breaks, giving the days a nice rhythm.
What really stood out, though, was how much Makundi cared — not just about me as a client, but about the vehicle too. When one of the windows malfunctioned, he addressed it right away and got it fixed. He also cleaned the car every single day, which spoke to his overall attention to detail and pride in his work.
Overall, this was an outstanding safari experience, and I'd highly recommend both the company and Makundi as a guide to anyone planning a trip — especially photographers who'll appreciate the thoughtful touches like the bean bags or internet in the car.
