Highly recommend Axis and Jimmy in particular.
Really good trip. Good value and got to see so many animals including loads of lions, giraffes, wildebeest, cheetah, zebra, various antelopes and even a leopard which is super rare. Our guide, Jimmy, was absolutely fantastic. Amazing at finding animals, super knowledgeable and friendly, extremely hospitable, kind and maximises value for guests, going the extra mile. Highly recommend Axis and Jimmy in particular.

Well organized safari with an outstanding guide, Francis, who made the experience unforgettable.
Review
I booked the 4-day Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru safari. Overall, the tour was well organized and communication through WhatsApp was easy. The only issue was the first-day pickup. I was told to be ready at 7:15 a.m. but waited in the hotel lobby until 8:00 a.m.
The highlight of my trip was our guide Francis in Masai Mara. A great guide makes all the difference on safari. He knew exactly where to find the animals, how to position the vehicle for the best views and photos, and always made sure everyone had a chance to see and take pictures. Thanks to Francis, I had one of the most unforgettable wildlife experiences of my life.
The last two days had a different guide, and the experience was not as good. However, the tour company handled the vehicle changes between different groups very smoothly. Overall, I would recommend this company, and if possible, ask for Francis as your guide.

Knowledgeable and informative
Our driver, Riki, was amazing! Friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He did a great job sharing information throughout the trip and made the experience enjoyable.
Unfortunately, due to factors outside of his control, we had very limited time in some of the parks, and the game drives felt shorter and more rushed than expected. While this took away from the overall experience, Riki himself was excellent, and I really appreciated his efforts despite the circumstances.

Smart and prompt.
African Safari - A life time experience with the wild, a 10 days trip operated by Pavillion safaris tours was fabulous . 5 stars to Derick and his vehicle , he is an experienced game drive guide and made sure we got the best view and photos . Masai Maara left us with a splendid rainbow at the end of the day which feeling deeply grateful for nature's beautiful farewell.
Food Arrangement and stay arrangements were acceptable .
A Request - pls make sure the rooms of hotel stay are well allocated on same floor before guest checkin and confirm if all appliance working correctly.Hot water showers need to be checked.

Well organised tour
This a great 2 days tour, well organized, nice service team either the drivers and Tim at the camp. The camp is comfortable. This would have been perfect if we would have a sunset or a sunrise ride to take advantage of sleeping onsite.

Organized safari, we have not seen the lions.
All good! Peter was an excellent guide. It's a shame we didn't see the lions.

Very dependable, good guide, saw all big 5
Axis Africa was very communicative and quick to get back to me. I got the second-cheapest accommodation and I loved it. Our guide, Mimi Kelvin, was really good at getting us to the animals efficiently and stopping for as long as we wanted. He shared some cool facts as well. Overall a very solid experience.

Unforgettable experience and outstanding, professional support both before and during our trip
My family and I would like to sincerely thank you for an unforgettable experience and for the outstanding, professional support both before and during our trip. 😃
While we know we had a bit of luck on our side by seeing 4 of big5, including that incredible leopard sighting, it was the well preparation that ensured everything ran smoothly. We felt safe, genuinely welcome, and cared for every single step of the way. 🙏🏻
Jessica and our guide, David, and driver, Erasto, receive our highest compliments. Excellent preparation and pro-active services before the trip was well taken care of by Jessica. Beyond being an excellent guide and driver, David and Erasto stepped up as mechanics, teammates, interpretors, and true problem-solvers. They all were an absolute inspiration and the perfect ambassadors for your company.

Rosy and our guide Moses, gave us an amazing Experience in Kenya. Thank you for looking after us.
Kenya,its warm and friendly people and the wild beauty it offers is a must visit.
A great way to visit Kenya for the first time. When you embrace the heartbeat of Africa and the Kenyan way, the tour is well worth the money spent. Each day brought a new surprise. A family of lions around a buffalo kill in Masai Mara, the park teeming with life, seing Flamingoes and a Miriad of other bird life at Lake Nukuru, walking with game on Crescent Island and eating delicious local food along the way.
Stopping for a canyon walk at Hells Gate was another fantastic surprise.
Wow!!! I felt safe and well looked after.
Rosy and Moses went out of their way to solve small issues for me and I really would recommend them for your safari experience. Thank you guys for amazing memories and making me want to come back to explore so much more.

Amazing experience
Our Safari was truly an unforgettable experience. The landscapes were breathtaking andd seeing the wildlife in their natural habitat was amazing. Our guide William was friendly and made every game drive exciting…
A special thanks to NAMAYANI at the safari office who handled our booking and coordination. She was professional kind and made the whole process easy. We truly appreciate all her help 🙏🏻
The only area that could be improved was the food. Unfortunately, it was often served cold and did not meet the level of quality we expected. We hope this can be addressed, as it would make an already amazing experience even better.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this safari to anyone looking for an incredible adventure in Tanzania
