Great experience! Definitely recommended.
We had an experienced tour guide and we felt safe throughout the trip. Our guide is knowledgeable and informative too. The itinerary was well balanced, we had sufficient time for safari game drive or activities and some rest time as well. Meals were included and we never felt hungry! It was an amazing experience and would like to come back.

Incredible Guides
Dominic was our guide for Ol Pejeta, and he was excellent. He is accommodating and taught us so much about the all animals we got to experience together. Dominic is very attentive to his guests, easy going, and his passion for wildlife made our first safari experience so special.
Tim was an amazing guide for our Masai Mara adventure. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals. He is kind, attentive, and a very skilled driver. He helped us see so many animals and showed us so many beautiful birds.
I’d highly recommend him as a guide.

Wonderful adventure!
I recently joined a 6-day, 5-night Kenya safari tour organized by Axis Africa Safaris. Since it was my very first safari and I was traveling solo, I was honestly quite anxious before the trip. However, meeting my guide, Piripiri, made all my worries disappear, allowing me to have an incredibly reassuring, safe, and fulfilling 6 days.
Piripiri is a highly dependable guide with 18 years of experience. His deep knowledge built over his long career was truly impressive—he provided detailed and engaging insights on where to spot specific animals and what time of day they are most active. Beyond his wildlife expertise, his driving over long distances was exceptionally safe and smooth, making the travel time comfortable throughout the journey.
I am so grateful to Axis Africa Safaris and Piripiri for this unforgettable experience. I will definitely request him again on my next visit to Kenya, and I highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris and Piripiri to everyone—especially first-timers and solo travelers!

The Experience of a Lifetime
Our safari adventure began several months before the actual trip with the attentive and professional planning of the wonderful Mrs. Linah. She promptly answered all our questions, provided multiple options, and guided us toward the solution that best suited our comfort and preferences. She carefully planned an incredible itinerary and played a key role in making this journey such an unforgettable experience. Throughout the entire process, Linah was friendly, knowledgeable, and highly professional. She was undoubtedly the mastermind behind the success of this amazing trip.
The safari itself was breath taking, and our guide, Marcus, was exceptional. He shared fascinating insights, answered all our questions, and navigated the routes safely and confidently throughout the journey. We were fortunate enough to spot the Big Five, and as an added bonus, we also saw many other incredible animals, including the elusive serval.
The safari vehicle was comfortable, spacious, and well equipped, featuring charging ports for electronic devices and a cooler box stocked with water and other refreshments. Every day, we enjoyed excellent picnic lunches with a wide variety of delicious and abundant food.
The lodges where we stayed were simply stunning. They offered outstanding comfort, beautiful surroundings, and exceptional service from professional, attentive, and caring staff. Every aspect of the trip exceeded our expectations and created memories that will last a lifetime.

Quite Nice!
We had a wonderful (really wonderful) experience with our very friendly guide Pilipili in our 5D 6N trip in kenya.
Driver Pilipili - the most welcoming, helpful and very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide I have ever met. Very knowledgeable and genuinely interested in giving you the best experience. 7 stars for him out of 5.
Trip: All good, but the Sankale camp did not have 24 hours electricity which would be nice to have. Car was also good and clean.
Food : Lack of variety but this is the generally the case across. But this can be improved or though about.
He was very knowledgeable about the parks and the wildlife.
We had an 8-day safari to Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorogoro, Serengeti, and Lake Natron. All were great, but if you have less time, I'd skip Manyara and Lake Natron. We were the only two clients in the Land Cruiser that could have carried six, and that made it very convenient for shuffling around in the vehicle to take pictures. With just two of us, Tarimo could easily deal with our particular interests like bird and landscape photography and stopping in small towns to buy some things we needed. We camped one night in a group camp area with perhaps 30-40 other tents, and a communal eating area. We had expected that Kanuth would have brought tents and set up our camp in the middle of nowhere, but now I realize that's not a reality in the Serengeti. Other lodges ranged from a luxurious room on the rim of Ngorogoro Crater, to a dumpy room by Manyara that was supposed to have been a camping night. We may have waited too long to send in our deposit so that Kanuth could actually book all the lodging that they'd put in their itinerary. Food was great. All of the tour drivers drive like crazy and Tarimo was no exception, but he did great. It was a bit unnearving and we did see three accidents in the 3 weeks we were in Tanzania, so prepare yourself.
The wildlife you'll see is amazing. We saw the 'big five' and so many others. The birds were spectacular, particularly at Tarangire, so don't focus just on the mammals. The density of wildlife is matched by the density of tour vehicles and people. In the US, it is a bit similar to Yellowstone where you see a group of vehicles pulled off looking at something and you join them in the viewing. However, at other times, Tarimo would drive off on his own and find wildlife without others around. All-in-all, a very positive experience.
