Excellent service!
We enjoyed a wonderful holiday in Kenia thanks to Morningstar!
The booking process went smoothly, swift and clear communication.
The driver, Julius, was super nice, trustful, knowledgeable and caring.
Thanks a lot to Dennis, Julius and the entire team behind the organization of the trip!
Thanks again for this wonderful experience.
Warm regards

Julius is your man !! Book him
Julius is your man ! 22 years of deep knowledge and experience. He will get you those animal sightings you came here for and with no crowds / very few . He just knew the timings and where animals will be. I got sick on my last day and he organized for a special tea to be made which has healed me right up . Grateful

He generously shares his extensive experience and knowledge.
We booked our game drive in Ol Pejeta with Willy, and he arrived right on time to pick us up from our apartment.
We thoroughly enjoyed the day and were especially impressed by his extensive knowledge and experience, which he shared with genuine enthusiasm. We have been travelling around Kenya for more than a week, but today we learned more about the wildlife than during the rest of our trip combined.
We already regret not booking more game drives with him. Even so, he was kind enough to give us helpful tips for our next destination in Kenya.
Thank you, Willy, for such a wonderful day. We highly recommend him to anyone.

Absolutely phenomenal!
Your safari experience is only as good as your guide. Raymond was an excellent guide. He knew exactly where to go, when to go and had tremendous patience for animal sightings. He was very knowledgeable and went out of the way to ensure we had a fulfilling experience. We not only saw the big 5 and by extension the super 7, we managed to see a hunt and the great migration, all in 1.5 days. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I will recommend Axis Safaris in a heartbeat.

Friendly Responsive Efficient
Booked my first ever safari at the travel fair with Go Touch Down - very easy and all the follow-ups were done by phone and email. Calls were returned promptly and questions answered quickly. Overall it was a great experience and the trip exceeded my expectations. I would recommend Go Touch Down Travel for family or solo travelers on their first safari in South Africa and consider add-ons to Victoria Falls. Ask for Angie.

The team was able to make the most of chaotic travel arrangements and get me where I needed to be.
After a few hiccups in my travel and missing my connection, the team was able to quickly and efficiently get me to my final destination without significant hassles. I was on a new flight in a very expeditious manner. By the time I got to my final destination , everything was set up for me to enjoy a relaxing vacation in Zanzibar. Overall great experience.

Exceptional from start to finish
From start to finish, Wagatil were exceptional! After finding the estimated quote on safari tours, booking process was incredibly easy. Pretty was very responsive and easy to discuss the different aspects of their tour options.
Martin our guide for our private mid-range 6 day trip from Rwanda to Uganda (including gorillas, chimps, golden monkeys and game drives in Queen Elizabeth national park) was truly exceptional. His knowledge was second to none, he was able to ask any questions we had (even the random ones that had nothing to do with the itinerary) and did so will enthusiasm and a smile. He showed so much passion about all of the different species of wildlife we were tracking and also of his country, we learnt so much from him about both. Martin always went above and beyond for us, from the organisation of the excursions to ensure we had the best outcome he could provide, to running the scheduled tightly to ensure we didn’t miss out on something we would have wanted to see, and from his choices of accommodation which were always strides better than we had expected to be getting, to making stops when we needed at pharmacies, ATMs and food stores for snacks on long drives, he never once made us feel like we were being a pain. This is something we were truly appreciative of, having been on many tours with many guides, and this often not being the experience.
Overall, I can’t recommend Wagatil and specifically Martin enough. We had the trip of a lifetime and one we will never forget! We will be sharing the company’s details with anyone who wishes to come Uganda on a trip and hope to return ourselves soon!

Well co-ordinated & organised. Very responsive.
Axis Travel was clear with communication & options. The deposit amount & then meeting them at their office in Nairobi was all smooth. Our guide Mohammed was an excellent game drive navigator. He was a wealth of knowledge of the Masaai wildlife, birds & life. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to discover the gems of Kenya. Our lodge stay in Masaai Mara Chui was also beautiful with very friendly staff. Overall a great experience.

Unforgettable Memories of Our Masai Mara Trip
Hello, I am Pradeep Murti from San Francisco. I booked a Masai Mara package with Axis Africa Safaris in August 2026, and I would like to share my experience.
First, I would like to appreciate the excellent support provided by Lucy before our trip began. We initially booked the trip for seven people, which was later reduced to four, and finally three, due to unforeseen circumstances. Lucy helped us process the refunds for those who could not join the trip.
When our journey finally began, our Emirates flight was delayed by one and a half days. Despite the last-minute disruption, Lucy went above and beyond to help us adjust our itinerary. She coordinated with two resorts to modify our bookings just one day before our arrival and also arranged for us to be picked up directly from the airport instead of the hotel, as originally planned. We truly appreciated her prompt support and flexibility during a stressful situation.
I would especially like to recognize our guide, Ahmed Mohamed. This was our first visit to Masai Mara, and we had an unforgettable experience exploring this beautiful part of Africa. Words are not enough to express our gratitude to Ahmed. He was energetic, cheerful, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely down-to-earth throughout the entire trip.
From the moment he picked us up at the airport until the day he dropped us off, Ahmed was patient, professional, and always willing to help. He guided us through sightseeing, game drives, and the national parks, ensured we had refreshments and breaks whenever needed, and was always punctual. His ability to adjust the itinerary based on our interests and the available time was exceptional.
Even after we lost one and a half days because of the flight delay, Ahmed went above and beyond to make sure we still covered all the destinations we had originally planned. Thanks to his careful planning and dedication, we were able to visit Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha without missing any of the major highlights.
Ahmed took us to different parts of Masai Mara to maximize our chances of seeing wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we were fortunate enough to see a lion pride, cheetahs, rhinos (including a baby rhino), a herd of elephants with playful baby elephants, flamingos, and many other incredible animals that Masai Mara is famous for.
When we expressed interest in visiting a Maasai village to meet the local tribes, Ahmed arranged the visit quickly and seamlessly.
One of my biggest wishes was to see the Great Migration. Although several people told Ahmed that the migration was not taking place at that time and that there was no point in visiting the Mara River, he still took us there and patiently explained everything about the migration and the ecosystem. I truly appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile to make our experience complete.
Ahmed also carried a professional camera with a powerful telephoto lens. He generously allowed us to use his camera to capture stunning close-up photographs of wildlife that would have been impossible with our own equipment. Later, he even shared those beautiful photos with us, which was an incredibly thoughtful gesture.
Overall, what began as a stressful trip due to unexpected flight delays turned into one of the most memorable vacations we've ever had, thanks to Ahmed and the outstanding support from Axis Africa Safaris.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Ahmed Mohamed as a guide to anyone planning a safari with Axis Africa Safaris. His knowledge, professionalism, patience, and dedication made our trip truly exceptional. I am confident that anyone who travels with Ahmed will have an unforgettable experience.
Once again, thank you, Ahmed and Axis Africa Safaris, for making this journey so special. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime.
