Great Trip to Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West
We had two great Safaris with Raymond and Jack as our drivers. We were picked up from our hotel and after that point everything was taken care of for us. The accommodations that Axis booked us into were very nice and the staff at each hotel/lodge were very attentive and provided very good service.
We saw the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Hell’s Gate with Jack. With Raymond we saw Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Tsavo West, and Tsavo East.
We throughly enjoyed having both Jack and Raymond as our drivers. Both were passionate and excited when we saw hard to find animals like the leopard or lion cubs. They were knowledgeable and had answers for all the questions we had about the animals. After 5 or 6 days with each driver, it feels like we made a new friend in each of them!
Each park has something different to offer and we were happy that Axis was able to provide a good itinerary that allowed us to see each one! I would definitely book with Axis Africa and Jack/Raymond again.

Khalifa was the best, he was a lovely guide that knew what he was doing.
Communication in planning the trip was excellent through Tabitha, and all the staff were lovely in the office. Me and my partner ended up deciding to stay at the Wild Nest camp, which was 100% worth the money, great service and food. Khalifa was the best guide we could’ve asked for, very funny, interesting, and experienced. We were able to see all the animals we wanted to with his help (including a river crossing!)

The best
Samuel is a very attentive and professional guide; he met all our requests. The food was always delicious, and he arranged for us to stay in a very nice lodge.

An incredible adventure that we will never forget!
We spent six wonderful days exploring Lake Naivasha, Aberdare, the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru National Park a journey that we will carry in our hearts forever. A very special thank you to our guide, Collin, who spoke Italian and knew exactly how to engage and win over our two children, aged 10 and 6, allowing them to fully enjoy this truly unique experience. Thanks to his experience and great attention to detail, we managed to see all of the Big Five, and we were even lucky enough to witness a lion hunt an incredible and unforgettable experience that is difficult to put into words! Collin was always available, patient and attentive to all our needs, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Travelling with two children is not always easy, but having someone so helpful and accommodating by our side truly made all the difference. A heartfelt thank you to Collin and Lucy from Axis for making this trip absolutely unforgettable. ❤️🦁🐘🦒

Fantástico
From the moment we arrived until the day we left, our safari exceeded every expectation. It was one of the most incredible holidays we’ve ever had.
Everything was exceptionally well organised, and the accommodation was outstanding. Every lodge was comfortable, welcoming, and in beautiful locations, making the whole experience even more special.
Our guide, Major, was simply outstanding. He went above and beyond every single day to make sure we had the best possible experience. His knowledge of the wildlife was incredible, and his passion for what he does really shone through. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, along with so many other unforgettable wildlife encounters.
The memories we’ve made will stay with us forever. If you’re thinking about booking a safari, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it. We can’t recommend this experience highly enough, and if you’re lucky enough to have Major as your guide, you’re in for a truly unforgettable adventure.

Difficult situation
We are very disappointed with our experience.
We accepted the company's quotation, confirmed the booking, and paid the full amount in advance. Only after our payment were we informed that the room included in our confirmed booking was no longer available. Instead of honouring the agreed booking, we were asked to pay an additional USD 50 per person for a different room.
We explained that we did not accept these additional charges because the change was entirely on the company's side and asked them to honour the original agreement. After we made this clear, there was no further communication from the company. Instead, the booking was cancelled by the safari company.
At the time of writing this review, we still do not know whether we will receive a full refund of the money we have already paid.
The communication was polite, but we expected the company to honour its confirmed offer and to work with us to find a fair solution instead of cancelling the booking after full payment. Unfortunately, this experience has left us very disappointed, and we cannot recommend booking with this company.

Very responsive communications. Ensured our expectations were met.
The tour operator responded to my questions promptly. Our schedule was adjusted a few times but all of the experiences were included as promised. The guides and drivers were knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating. This tour was a good value for the money. I appreciate the variety of experiences we had during our 8 day tour. It was great! Thank you, Nasr!

Top-Notch Team and Incredible Wildlife!
We had an absolute blast on our one-day safari in Mikumi National Park yesterday! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, exciting, and deeply memorable.
A massive thank you to our guide, Doreen, and our driver, Joshua. We couldn't have asked for a better team! Doreen’s incredible knowledge, keen eye, and warm hospitality made every sighting special, while Joshua navigated the terrain effortlessly and positioned us perfectly for every photo. They were both so attentive and worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best possible day in the park.
The wildlife viewing was simply astonishing for a single day. We were lucky enough to spot:
Predators & Large Mammals: Lions, elephants (with a baby elephant), giraffes, hippos, and crocodiles
Grazers: Zebras, wildebeests, and impalas
Primates: Vervet monkeys and baboons
Birdlife: Vultures, hornbills, storks, lapwings, marabou storks, and stunning lilac-breasted rollers
And best of all, we got to spend plenty of time watching our absolute personal favorites—the warthogs!
If you are looking for an incredible safari experience with a passionate, expert team, we cannot recommend Doreen and Joshua enough. Thank you both for an unforgettable day!

Into the Wild Africa Unfiltered
This is a beautifully candid wildlife photograph taken in what appears to be an African savanna, likely during the dry season. The golden, sun-scorched grassland stretches across the frame, dotted with acacia trees whose bare, twisting branches add wonderful texture to the scene. The star of the shot is a warthog, caught mid-stride as it moves away from the camera completely unbothered and in its element. The animal blends naturally into the warm ochre tones of the landscape, making it feel like a genuine, unposed moment rather than a staged wildlife shot. The composition is strong the curved, fallen tree trunk in the foreground creates a natural frame that draws the eye toward the animal and the open plains beyond. The layers of dry grass, scattered trees, and hazy background give the image real depth. The warm amber and brown colour palette perfectly captures the atmosphere of dry-season Africa vast, rugged, and breathtakingly beautiful. Overall, a wonderful travel memory that captures the raw, unhurried pace of African wildlife. 📸🌍
