Fantastic
Review for 4 day safari Masai Mara and Nakuru with Caleb,
We were picked up on time for a fantastic drive to the accommodation which was enjoyable, comfy jeep , lots of water and breaks for food and bathroom stops. The accommodation was in a lovely small village which had really cute tents with en-suites and great service , served by very friendly staff. Caleb then took us into the park for our first afternoon safari and we saw so much thanks to his knowledge and speaking to other jeeps in the park, he was clearly very popular and loved by the other safari drivers!!
We continued to do safaris and visiting various places along the way for the next couple of days, Caleb always made sure everyone was included, provided interesting information and was always happy to answer any questions we had.
The whole experience was absolutely amazing and I really recommend it , will definitely be going back in the future.
A huge thank you to Caleb for making us feel welcome, safe and giving us the most amazing few days. Cheers!!

The absolute best safari experience
This was my first safari experience & Kate could not have made it any better. She put together a great schedule of activities & the lodges we stayed in were amazing. Not only was this my first safari but my first trip to Africa & I got to learn and see so much thanks to Kate and her team. Our guide Ronald was so knowledgable and accommodating and he was a great driver when the road conditions weren’t the best. He also suggested even more activities that we could do when we had extra time and I really enjoyed that. I couldn’t recommend booking your safari with them more

I know Ibra from many years ago. Without any doubt I would recommend him!
Ibra is a great and very nice person! He takes care of everything related to your Savana experience. He is not just a driver but experienced guide. His prices are reasonable and I don’t regret for anything. After few years of our first experience we came back to him with our kids and it was unforgettable.

THE BEST.
We had an amazing experience on safari in Africa, and the main credit goes to our guide, Daniel. From start to finish, everything was impeccably organized. Daniel has an impressive knowledge of animals, nature and local culture, but also a pleasant and relaxed way of telling stories, which turned every moment into a fascinating lesson.
He always made us feel safe and made sure that each participant enjoyed the experience to the fullest. We managed to see a lot of wild animals up close, and his explanations gave an even deeper meaning to this adventure.
I highly recommend a safari with Daniel – he is passionate, attentive to details and transmits an incredible positive energy. An unforgettable experience!

An amazing safari adventure with Axis Africa Expeditions & Safaris - one we will never ever forget!!
Our adventure started some months ago when a very good friend mentioned going to Kenya with her 2 sons in the summer, and I thought "oh wow what an amazing experience it would be for my son and I" as we'd not yet been on a safari. I asked if we could tag along and after 7 amazing days in Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha (including Cresent Island boat ride & walk) & Amboseli I couldn't have imagined anything better/different.
My friend had done her research and already had a good idea of the 'must see' places. She contacted several operators but Monica, our safari organiser from Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, adjusted the itinerary to our wishes and was always available to answer all our questions promptly, by email and on WhatsApp. The package also included a reduced price for our boys (12-13 years), tented camps as our accommodation as we wished to provide the boys with a more realistic experience, and hotel/airport transfers. Monica even arranged last minute airport transfers to our hotel since we arrived late the night before. Harun and Maurice, our aiport/hotel drivers, who patiently waited for us at the airport/hotel, were reachable on WhatsApp and extremely courteous.
As for the safari experience itself, there are no words to express how amazing it really was and even more amazing was the driver and guide assigned to us. With his orange goatee and smiling eyes, Yasin was the perfect match for our 3 boisterous boys and their 2 no-nonsense mums. He's an extraordinary driver and traffic/rough terrain navigator, he's extremely kind, patient and gentlemanly, and has exceptional abilities to get you to the right spots during the game drives. Besides the big 5, which we crossed off our list in the 1st 3 days, we also saw a numerous wild animals and birds in different habitat. The climate varied from cold and wet to hot and dusty. Yasin is very knowledgeable about all animals, birds and the surroundings, and answered every single question we had. I honestly thought the boys would be bored on the long game drives and journeys between parks, but they enjoyed every minute of it also thanks to Yasin who is also very capable with kids, always managing to get their attention by asking the right questions to lure them in.
Yasin also ensured smooth check-ins and that we did not miss a single meal while travelling between parks or when out the entire day. And on the last day, when our flight got delayed by 3 hours he offered to take us for a tour of Kobe Tough beads & leather and also the Giraffe Centre.
Finally, I must mention the tented camps we stayed at - Wild Nest Mara Camp in Maasai Mara and Manjaro Tented Camp in Amboseli - both of which were superior to the example pictures Monica had shared with us. The staff was always extremely friendly and welcoming. The food was always freshly prepared, and the tented rooms were large and had warm water and comfortable beds.
It definitely couldn't have been any better. Thank you so much Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris ❤️

Our 3 day Masai Mara safari was an expectational journey into the wild.
Me and my 5 friends was planning to go on a safari in the Masai Mara. As per the plan, we kept looking for a local tour operator in Kenya and we booked Namnyak Tours and Safaris the right one. And they have been a great help throughout the entire trip.
Spending 4 days in the Masai Mara felt like living in the heart of nature’s masterpiece. Our first game drive, the endless savannah stretched out before us, alive with movement and sound. We watched elephants crossing the river with such calm strength, while playful zebras and gazelles filled the plains with energy. Each day had its own surprise, a family of lions lazing in the grass, a cheetah sprinting across the horizon, and colorful birds decorating the sky. The rhythm of the wild was humbling, reminding us how nature exists in perfect balance.
Every day brought a mix of excitement and serenity, showing us the wild heart of Kenya. Meeting the Maasai community gave us a glimpse of their proud traditions, making the trip even more meaningful
