    You will see lots of animals. They will seem almost tame, accustomed to human interaction, which takes some of the thrill out of the experience. Our guide was eager to please, not well versed scientifically, but aggressive in trying to get us the best possible experience, and a good driver.

    Great value for your bucks. We have spotted cats and wildlife of all sorts. The driver, Musa, was polite and professional and took care of explaining details about wildlife and the local culture. He showed a good driving mastery despite bumpy roads and rainy weather. Well done!

    I made a direct booking with this travel company. I reached through WhatsApp and everything was extremely clear and transparent from the start to the beginning. All my questions were clearly responded to, and I was extremely satisfied with the service. Tour Guide, Albert took meticulous care of us throughout the journey and was a passionate wildlife enthusiast and a safe driver as well. We upgraded to a lodge since my parents were traveling, and it was more than comfortable and convenient. It was really worth every penny.

    The tour with Axis Africa Safari was good, the team was very professional, they picked me up from my hotel and drove me back once the tour was over.

    The information about the costs was clear and detailed, basically everything is written in the contract. The only unexpected payment was in 5% that applies to credit card payments, which I did not know in advance, but it was small stuff.
    I went to the office in person because I prefer face-to-face interactions and I kindly got a small reduction.

    I chose an unusual package, as most tourists visit the park for 3days package: a few hours on arrival and a full day the next day...I preferred the 4 days one: one half day at arrival and two full days at the Game ride, because you never know what you are going to see on there, and in fact I was happy with my choice even though the park entrance only lasts 12 hours and is quite expensive.

    This unusual situation meant that I was part of two different groups, the downside: in the second group, since everyone was already in the car from the day before, I ended up in the back seat which is not as comfortable as the middle or front ones.
    positive side: on the second day I had the tent all to myself because my partner from the day before took a standard package and left after two nights.

    The driver on the first day was very careful not to shake us too much, which we appreciated, but we saw less than the second day. The driver on the second day was driving fast and there were some jolts in the car, but this made us see more animals and move through the park faster.

    The camp where I stayed is Lenchada, a little old, but resistant and welcoming. a couple of people complained that they didn't have hot water, but in my tent there was some, you just had to wait a bit. The camp food was good, according to my taste.



    I would have liked to see some hunting scenes, but they didn't happen when we passed (it almost happened between a buffalo and a pack of lionesses, but the buffalo was too big and the lionesses let it pass). I was there at the end of July and I missed seeing the passage of animals between one bank of the river and the other (a group of Wildebeest and Zebra were there on the Tanzanian side, but they didn't decide to cross, after about twenty minutes we left)



    On the other hand I saw so many animals, endless herds of Wildebeest, lions, lionesses, cheetahs, a Leopard, hyenas, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, zebras, vultures, Vervet monkeys, Baboons... it was truly incredible. I hope to be able to return there one day and do at least three days of Game Ride, if my body allows me

    Peter Kapino was an amazing tour operator. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had the most amazing safari experience and to ensure that we saw the big 5 up close and personal! He also provided us with interesting facts about the animals, the land and the culture in Kenya. I have learnt so much in the last for days. Peter is a phenomenal driver and even managed to help other safari cars who were stuck in the mud! 11/10 experience and I could not recommended him more!

    We just returned home to Utah from a week long spring break Safari trip with Big Mac safari. It was our first time to Africa and it was amazing! Great experience start to finish. Antony went above and beyond to do his best to find the big 5 and it was a success. We saw so many animals and stayed at awesome camps with great service and great food. We’ll recommend BigMac to anyone we know who plans to go to Kenya for a safari!

    Great views at a fantastic park and William was an excellent guide and driver. The only star deduction was for the lodge which was a little rachet but everything else was great.

    I'm so glad that I chose Hyrax Safaris agency. The Driver Johnny was very professional with amazing driving skills. We had the chance to see the all the animals except one. Also, Ms. Irenne was very helpful and answered all of my questions. Highly recommended.

    I was fetched by Stephen on the morning of the tour.
    He was warm and friendly. We fetched another guest and then headed to the Giraffe centre. We learned about the reason for its existence and information about the Rothschild giraffes. We were able to interact and feed the giraffes who wander across from the neighboring conservancy.
    Then we headed to the Elephant orphanage, where we were given an informative talk about the incredible work they do - rescuing, caring for and releasing the orphans. We watched a morning feed and were able to experience the babies, up close.
    The Bead factory was a wonderful opportunity to see what opportunity can give people who otherwise would have slim prospects of supporting themselves and their families. The work is of high quality and the shop had a great selection of belts, bags and beads.
    I had a truly memorable experience in Nairobi. I would highly recommend this tour.
    Stephen was a great guide and answered all our questions. He allowed us time to wander around after the visits to look at the incredible work that was available to buy.
    Just go!

    If I compare this company with other safaries which I have an experience (2 other), this is definitely the best. Main reasons: good and fast communication, time responsibility and responsibility at all. We have a very successful trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli.

    Special thanks is for guide and driver Edward. He's really professional guide and driver. He has a big knowledge about african nature. He can easily explain you every question you have about it because it's also his hobby. For birdwatchers like me I definitely recommended to take this guide. He is also very responsible driver. We've seen many safari cars stuck in the mud because of big rain. Once he helped one car to put out from the mud. Many times went through much more muddy roads and we didn't stuck. He kept the car clear after every dirty driving. He went to preventing check the car for avoid a problem. He drove more than 8 hours in this horrible kenyan traffic situation, no problem, hakuna matata.
