Maasai Mara Private tour
5/5

We had an absolutely amazing experience in the Maasai Mara! Our tour guide, Nelson, was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, which made this trip truly unforgettable.

A special thank you as well to Jaqui in the office. She was professional, responsive, and made the entire booking process smooth and stress-free from start to finish.

We loved every moment of the tour and highly recommend this team to anyone visiting the Maasai Mara. Thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Axis is a professional, responsive tour operator that delivers unforgettable safaris.
5/5

Our family spent an unforgettable 5 days on safari: 2 days in Masai Mara, 1 day in Nakuru, 1 day in Naivasha, and 1 day in Amboseli. It was truly one of the best travel experiences we've ever had.

Our guide, Peter Kapino, was exceptional and went far beyond our expectations. His excellent driving skills and deep knowledge of wildlife behavior, animal habitats, and daily routines allowed us to see the Big Five, the "Big Ugly Five," countless bird species, and even elusive animals such as cheetahs, leopards, lions, and black rhinos. It was clear that his experience and expertise made all the difference.

Peter was also incredibly patient, kind, friendly, and professional throughout the entire trip, making every game drive enjoyable and memorable.

Axis was outstanding from the very beginning. They provided detailed information about the different safari options, pricing, and what was included, and they were always responsive to our questions, making the planning process smooth and stress-free.

I highly recommend Peter Kapino as a safari guide and Axis as a safari company. They exceeded our expectations and made this an unforgettable adventure.

We had an amazing safari experience with Tom. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and gave us interesting facts about every animal as we moved across the Maasai Mara. He made the whole trip enjoyable from start to finish, and we seen so many animals. He was patient and allowed us to take photos and videos, while not disturbing the animals. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and we would highly recommend Tom to anyone doing the safari!

Peter Kapino: A hardworking and passionate guide who truly cares about his guests and his work.
5/5

In my experience with Axis Africa, I was able to see and do everything I could have ever hoped for. Not only did we see every animal you would expect to encounter in Africa, but the entire journey was also exceptional. Our tour guide was kind, charismatic, and clearly passionate about his work. He took his role seriously and did everything he could to ensure we had an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

I highly recommend Axis Africa to anyone looking to experience Africa’s wildlife to its fullest.

An Unforgettable Safari with an Exceptional Guide
5/5

We had a wonderful safari experience with Axis Africa Safaris. Communicating and planning with Axis was very easy from the start. They were always quick to respond, and the fact that most of the communication was done through WhatsApp made the whole process even easier and more convenient.

We especially want to recognize our guide, Peter Kapino. Peter was amazing throughout the trip. He was very friendly, patient, and accommodating, always understanding the different needs of our family and making sure everyone felt comfortable. It was clear from the beginning that he puts real passion into his work.

His knowledge of wildlife is excellent, and we were especially impressed by his deep knowledge of birds. He knew the animals, the parks, and the best times to start each day so we could have the best possible sightings. His experience and understanding of the places we visited made a big difference in our safari.

We are very grateful for Peter’s kindness, professionalism, and enthusiasm. He helped make this trip truly memorable. We highly recommend Axis Africa Safaris, and especially Peter Kapino as a guide.

Excellent Communication, Responsive, & A Great Safari Tour
5/5

We just came back from a 6 day safari booked through Topma.

The safari was great, and our experience with Topma was excellent. Max was always very helpful, very responsive and overall provided information and guidance on anything we asked about. It was great to have him responsively helping with any questions we had throughout our trip. Other than that, the whole experience was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Amazing time with our guide Musa
5/5

Our entire experience was perfect! Pick up from the airport was waiting for us on arrival. Every hotel they chose for us was comfortable with great food and amenities, they all felt very luxurious. Our guide Musa was an incredible driver and an educated naturalist. He found elusive animals and knew every road of each park we visited. We couldn’t ask for anything more and highly recommend Lion King.

Supportive and thoughtful
5/5

This is my second time to come to Starpal. Such a good company. My husband and I joined the tour in 2023 which left us a very good impression. So I booked the tour for my family. My mother and her friend explored the beauty and wildlife in Kenya with Starpal company.
Paul is very supportive and efficient . It only took several emails to lead us to a confirmed itinerary. And the driver Emmanuel is very good as well.
They were very happy with everything. Emmanuel was always on time and very professional at finding the animals — they saw a lot of them. The meals and accommodations were also very good, and the two of them felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip.
By the way, my mother can’t speak English so they use translate app to communicate, but it works very well. Thanks Emmanuel again!
I’m sure I will come back again and I will choose Starpal definitely.
