Convenient and reliable
Professional service, people really wanted us to have a great experience. Would have been better if they could tell us the stories behind the scenes.

The tour operator was kind, knowledgeable, and has a passion for his work.
I booked my tour during the Christmas holiday 2025 and had an excellent time. I would highly recommend to others.

Responsive
Both guides from the Kenyan and Tanzanian side were awesome! Patrick (Kenya) was very patient and alot of times we waited out for the animal and the results were always satisfying. Once we spotted a cheetah and waited. Initially, it walked abit then rolled on the grass like a housecat then suddenly it started to give chase to a gazelle!!It was like out of a Nat Geo doc! Elifadhili (Tanzania) was very knowledgeable and can spot animals from far away like the grumpy looking tree hyrax found in the hole of a tree.
Douglas from the company, was very responsive and helped with a lot of questions and some issues with the shuttle service (when going to the border).
Lunch boxes in Kenya could be improved alot and food in Tanzania was awesome. Shout-out to Nathan, our cook.

Fantastic experience that I would recommend without hesitation — with just one accommodation caveat
Highlights
The decision to do a private tour was absolutely worth it. The flexibility, personalised attention, and pace made a real difference compared to group tours. The hotels in Nairobi and Nakuru were excellent — well above expectations in terms of comfort, cleanliness, and service.
The One Exception
The camp arranged for the Masai Mara leg — Enchoro Wildlife Camp — was a significant step down but it's not fault of the tourist operator
A Word on Local Vendors
Be aware that in certain stops, locals will approach you aggressively trying to sell crafts at wildly inflated prices — think $30 for items you can find at Nairobi airport for a fraction of the cost. This is not the operator's fault, but worth knowing so you're not caught off guard. Smile, decline, and move on.
Bottom line: A well-organised, worthwhile private safari experience.

Well Organized Private Safari
We had a great experience with Axis Africa Safaris and would definitely recommend them.
The communication with Rita was excellent from the very beginning. She always replied quickly, answered all our questions in detail, and the entire booking process was smooth and professional. The itinerary matched what had been promised, everything was well organized, and all arrangements worked perfectly.
Our only suggestion for improvement would be the guiding. Our driver was a very good driver and did an excellent job finding wildlife, but we would have appreciated a more proactive guide who shared more information about the animals, nature, culture, and the places we visited without us having to ask.
Overall, it was a fantastic safari with great value for money, and we would happily book with Axis Africa Safaris again.

Really good tour operator
We did an experience of 6 days with them and also 2 days on a tour of the city, and they were super available for everything.
The only things that made me put 4 stars is about the organization, sometimes they could’ve been more precise and tell about some changes during the safari…also when something goes wrong they can be more ready to give other options.
Anyways our guide was super cool and prepared to give us the best experience, he was also extremely respectful of the animals.
I would recommend this agency!

Good
We had a really good experience with the safari tour! Really good guide, chef and very friendly people. But at first we meet some problems in the first park because the paperwork between some operators was late. Also we think that the breifing can be more informative, for example going through day by day and tell tips för wearing and such. In the camp of ngorongoro it was really cold and we was not really prepared.

Atencious
To go to Hazyview was nice, but to go back to Johannesburg the car was dirty.
