Overall, the safari experience was good. Our guide, Ben, was an excellent driver and got us to see a lioness hunting in the Maasai Mara — thanks for his guidance and support. By the fourth day, we had spotted all of the Big Five and were incredibly lucky to see a lion pride up close in Nakuru. Camps are beyond our expectations and we love the sounds of nature.
Due to the rainy weather, we had to end our Maasai Mara trip bit earlier. Otherwise, we might have had the chance to see more hunting scenes. For Crescent Island, we paid the entrance fee but didn’t actually go onto the island, and only walked along the mainland shore.
4 out of 5.
Axis Africa provides a highly professional and memorable safari experience that is well worth it.
We had a wonderful time with Axis Africa! The communication from start to finish was excellent and all details were clearly explained. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and worked hard to find amazing wildlife sightings. The service was consistently great, with smooth logistics and comfortable accommodations. While representing good value, there were minor aspects that, for us, held it just short of a five-star rating. However, I would not hesitate to recommend them for a reliable and thoroughly enjoyable expedition.

It was an amazing experience i ever seen in my life especially the jimmy he was soo cooperative
It was the most remarkable experience I have ever had in my life. In particular, the people of Masai Mara are incredibly lovely; they show great respect and are very kind, humble, and welcoming. I felt as though I was in my second home. I am truly grateful to JIMMY, who accompanied us and shared insights about the journey and the culture of Masai Mara. His extensive experience in driving allowed us to get close to the animals, enabling us to capture unforgettable moments.
Overall, my experience was truly extraordinary. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to visit again soon.
Thank you very much, team, for your outstanding support and dedication.

A great operator with a warm, friendly, and committed staff
Unfortunately, my flight was delayed for eight hours and I arrived in Nairobi around 10 pm. I messaged the company at about 11 pm to book a safari tour for the next morning—very last minute—and the staff still replied promptly, making sure I didn’t miss my plans.
Our guide was Mohammad, a very kind, friendly, committed, and knowledgeable person with a comfortable and clean car. He created a lovely and exciting safari experience for us, together with our wonderful travel companions.
Everything about the tour was well-organized. The only issue was on the last day: since our schedule was different from the rest of the group and they had returned a day earlier, the company sent different cars to pick us up, which resulted in us switching vehicles three times. This part was a bit uncomfortable, but overall the tour was great and everything went according to plan.
They are a very reliable tour company, and everyone I interacted with from their team was genuinely kind and trustworthy.

We experienced everything we came to Kenya for.
We had a great trip with Axis and especially with our guide Ben! We have seen all big5 and many other animals. Due to Ben’s experience we saw everything we wished for and more. At one day we were able to see 5 times Lions, cheetah, elephants etc…… Absolutely recommendable!

10/10 safari with a 10/10 guide
We had a fantastic experience with Axis safaris, from the start they were great with communication and catering to all our needs. Everything went smooth from start to finish. We spent 2 nights at Jambo Mara in Masai Mara, 1 night at Lake Nakuru lodge and 1 night at Lake Naivasha Sopa lodge.
Our safari guide Sir Charles was absolutely amazing, he was everything we had hoped for as a guide and made our 5 day safari perfect. We saw the big 5 and had many close encounters with animals and many laughs along the way. I would highly recommend Axis safaris and especially Sir Charles if you’re lucky enough to get him as your guide.

Axis delivers flawless safaris with elite guides, deep wildlife insight, and unforgettable moments.
One word: Khalifa.
Without question, the best safari guide I have ever had.
I am a very experienced safari traveler, having been on safaris across Uganda, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa, and more. Because of that, I have high standards — and Khalifa didn’t just meet them, he exceeded them in every possible way. He completely set the bar for what a world-class safari guide should be.
With over 20 years of experience, Khalifa’s knowledge and instincts are extraordinary. His ability to read the plains, interpret animal behavior, and anticipate movements is nothing short of remarkable. He consistently found wildlife in places I would never have noticed on my own. The results were unforgettable.
We witnessed incredible, rare moments: multiple lion prides, including one that took down a buffalo — and we watched them feeding on their kill early in the morning in the Masai Mara. We also saw a leopard moments after it pounced on a gazelle. I have never experienced so much wildlife action on any safari before.
Throughout the tour, we saw everything I hoped for and more: lions, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, kudu, black and white rhinos, and massive herds of elephants crossing the road with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. I truly believe Khalifa’s expertise is the reason we saw so much — this was not luck, but skill and experience.
Derrick, who was training under Khalifa, was also excellent — knowledgeable, attentive, and a pleasure to learn from. Hearing about the Maasai people and culture through Derrick’s personal stories added a meaningful and personal dimension to the experience. Having two outstanding guides truly made this safari exceptional.
Before the tour even began, Monika was outstanding as a communicator and planner. She was responsive, clear, and incredibly helpful throughout the booking process. Monika patiently answered all of my questions and helped me choose the perfect itinerary that truly catered to my needs, travel style, and expectations. Her communication skills and attention to detail made the entire planning process smooth, stress-free, and reassuring.
Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris delivered exceptional communication, professionalism, reliability, and value for money from start to finish. I only recommend companies that meet the highest professional standards, and Axis Africa is one I will confidently recommend to all my friends and family.
This was, without a doubt, the best safari experience of my life.
