Geeman was a very knowledgeable tour guide who took us close to see all the animals.
We really enjoyed our whole safari experience. David really helped me navigate the logistics of picking the perfect safari based on my preferences and answered my many questions . Geeman was a very knowledgeable safari guide who took us up as close as possible to see all the different animals.

An Unforgettable Tanzania Safari
We had an amazing safari experience with Samora Explorers, and Denis was an excellent guide! He is extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, patient, attentive, and always took the time to find the best spots for us to see animals and enjoy the scenery. He was also very punctual and managed our schedule perfectly.
We were incredibly lucky to see the Big Five, as well as a beautiful white-spotted giraffe! The whole trip was very well organized, the hotels were great, and the Chinese-speaking customer service made everything very easy. The value for money was excellent.
A truly unforgettable experience — highly recommend Denis and Samora Explorers! We would definitely choose them again.

Incredible
We thoroughly enjoyed our safari experience with Axis Africa. Our guide Raymond knows the Masai Mara national park like the back of his hand and knew all the best spots to see the more elusive animals - on day one Raymond found a leopard and we had a great experience watching it.
We got to see four of the big five (minus rhinos which are very rare in Masai Mara) and all the other animals the park has to offer including Giraffes, Ostrich, Zebra, Cheetah and Elephants. Again Raymond was really good at tracking the animals, so on day one we got to watch a family of elephants really closely on our own, which felt really special.
Would highly recommend Axis Africa and Raymond, we had a great trip!

Marshal was very invested and a lovely guide.
The tour was an unforgettable experience. The booking was very simple and the communication was great. Everything was well organized. The guide was driving safely and we got to the lodges on time. The evening and early morning game drives were fantastic. We got to see a lot of animals and the guide fulfilled every wish. All in all a great experience and we can totally recommend it.

Highly recommend for safaris in masai and Nakuru. Highly professional yet value for money!
I had an amazing four-day safari experience with Axis Africa, covering Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. From the booking process to the safari itself, the entire experience was professional, well-organised, and offered excellent value for money.
A special mention to Tabitha, who was extremely helpful throughout the booking process. She patiently answered all my questions, helped me fine-tune the itinerary, and was always very prompt and responsive. Her professionalism and willingness to help made the planning process very smooth.
The airport pickup by David was also seamless. He was punctual and ensured a smooth handover to our safari guide, Tom, who accompanied us throughout the four days.
Tom deserves a very special mention. Honestly, I don't think my safari would have been nearly as great without him. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible wildlife experience. He put in a tremendous amount of effort to help us spot and experience the animals and wildlife, while also sharing a wealth of interesting information about Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, the animals, and the local environment.
What really stood out about Tom was his clear communication, professionalism, patience, and ability to interact so well with everyone in the group. He was attentive to everyone's needs, made sure all of us were comfortable, and genuinely took good care of the group throughout the trip. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the safari much more engaging and memorable.
Overall, I highly recommend Axis Africa to anyone looking for a safari in Kenya, particularly if you are looking for a professional operator offering a great experience at good value for money. And if you get the opportunity to have Tom as your guide, you are in excellent hands!
Thank you to the entire Axis Africa team for making this such a memorable safari experience.

Excellent, reliable safari guide with safe driving
We had an amazing safari in Kenya with our guide Robinson. He is extremely professional, diligent and reliable. His driving is smooth and steady, making us feel safe at all times. He is thoughtful and practical, focusing on getting things done instead of unnecessary chatter.
Whenever we ran into small problems, he handled them efficiently. He has great wildlife knowledge and was good at spotting animals. The whole trip went perfectly without any hassle.
We really valued his down-to-earth and responsible attitude. Strongly recommend him for your safari. If we visit Kenya again, we will definitely book him.

I very much enjoyed my time on safari. The animals and scenery are amazing to see!
Every host at our camp/ hotel have been very hospitable and accommodating. We did lack in nothing!
Tom was our safari guide, I would highly recommend him if you get the chance! He showed alot of care in making sure we saw everything, very open to any questions, and I've learnt alot from his wide range of wildlife knowledge! He was a very good driver and I felt very safe! Couldn't ask for anything more. Overall, extremely happy 😊

Very professional and keen to make the tour work for you! Can’t recommend enough
We booked on to a 5 day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha tour and it was great! The booking team were very responsive and accommodating and all the accommodation and staff were great. Our tour guide was Tom, from the start he was very polite, and kept good communication. It was obvious that Tom enjoys his job, and is passionate about his job and giving the best experience to his group. He asked everyone what they would most like to see and made it his mission to provide it, he was vey good at finding the best opportunities to see all the animals. He had great knowledge about everything we did and happily answered all our questions, I learnt a lot from him. When would see the animals he would make sure everyone was done before moving on and never made us feel rushed or like an inconvenience! Alongside side all this he was very warm and welcoming, had a great sense of humour, happy to talk and a very safe driver. He made the tour really enjoyable and I loved every moment! Axis should be very proud of him! Thank you Tom, mister Gareth.

Great time, good deal!
Just had a wonderful 9 day safari + beach trip. I worked with Janet from Apodiformes for about 9 months from when we booked our trip to when we traveled. She was communicative and helpful at every step of the way. We had issues with two lodges on our itinerary that were unable to honor our original reservations and she worked with us and the lodges on other equivalent options very quickly.
Our guide Isaiah was then the star of the show during the safari. He was both knowledgeable and kind, getting us great views of the Big 5 and sharing good info on the animals. Whenever we wanted to linger a bit longer or stop to get pictures he was happy to oblige. We spent lots of time in the car over the 6 days we were on safari and traveling to different parks and enjoyed it all - even the "African massages" from the bumpy roads. Would recommend the company and Isaiah to those interested in safari.
Will leave each of the lodges separate reviews on their pages but would say be sure to get Ol Tukai in Amboseli on your itinerary if you can!
