5.0/5It was amazing, I highly recommend it! We stayed in Wild Nest Mara Camp and it was better than expected, food, hot water, everything. The team from Axis Africa is super organized, all was arranged and communicated clearly. We were picked up and taken for payment by Collins, who showed us around the city and did an amazing quick tour with us! Special thanks to our amazing guide, Joshua! He’s clearly extremely experienced and did all to get some great shots of the animals! Seeing the lions from so close was the highlight of it, made the entire trip worth it! Big thanks to him for all the arrangements and efforts!

We had an amazing safari experience in Kenya, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, [Collin]. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and made sure we had the best possible wildlife sightings throughout the trip. His driving and spotting skills were excellent — we were able to see lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, and many more animals up close. He also explained a lot about animal behavior and the ecosystem, which made the safari even more interesting. He was always punctual, professional, and made us feel safe and comfortable during the entire journey. The trip was well organized, smooth, and truly unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

We had a wonderful 6-day safari in Kenya! Our guide, Ben, is knowledgeable, professional, and always happy to share insights about the wildlife, the parks, and Kenyan culture. We especially appreciated his flexibility and the way he balanced finding great wildlife sightings with respect for the animals, the parks, and our safety. A special thanks also to the organizer Tabitha, who was incredibly responsive from the very beginning and helped us tailor the itinerary to exactly what we were looking for. We’ll bring back amazing memories and would happily recommend Ben and Axis operator to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
