Fantastic Experience
Overall rating
5/5

This is was a wonderful trip with Bison. It was more than expected trip. All that I wanted were fulfilled during this tour. The guides were so experienced on the Masai park route that they will ensure you carry best memories for the life. My guide Joseph gone out of his way to make us experience the wild beast migration and patiently waited till the animals crossing the Masai river. The tent accommodation is more than exiting. All the credit goes to Bison and team who gave us these moments to me. Anytime I recommend Bison if someone is planning a grip to Kenya.

Lion Kill, Cheetah Kill and Hyena Kill, along with everything else we saw! Amazing!
Overall rating
5/5

This was an amazing DAY in The Mara. We saw all this in one day. And did I mention a Black Rhino sighting? Yes. We saw one of the 27ish Black Rhinos in the park. To many birds, flora and fauna to list. I loved the parks I've been to in Tanzania (The Selous & Ruaha), but for shear numbers and volume, The Mara is hands-down the best. Richie is a cool guy, just don't get into a political discussion with him. He's very bright and speaks several languages. He is also, apparently, the best cheetah spotter in the Serengeti ecosystem. Cheers!!!

Stunningly impressive

Everything was superb. The only downside: poor Internet connection at the hotel. OK, it was a time to relax and savor the habitat.

The abundance of animals and the scenic beauty were beyond compare. The highlight was a night drive watching a pack of hyenas chasing a herd of wildebeests and zebras. The hyenas screaming and hundreds of reflective eyes darting in every direction created an energy and image that i can't describe.

We didn't tire of seeing so many beautiful lions ever day from the several prides. We spent hours taking pics of lions and cheetahs. The big cats were so beautiful and so photogenic.

I would go back to Masai Mara in a heart beat.

We stayed in 2 Eco-camps and loved it. They were small with only the 11 of us and the guides were great and very knowledgeable.

The best park in Kenya with uncountable wildlife numbers
Overall rating
5/5

When I visited this park in August, the migration of the animals was fully ongoing. There were hundreds of thousands of animals out in the huge savanna, they were uncountable.

The Zebras and Wildebeests crossing the Mara River was an amazing thing to watch, something extraordinary that one has to watch in a lifetime. We were also very lucky to see a lion kill wildebeests and also buffalo.

Also, managed to see a pride of 18 lions at one spot in Masai Mara, and even lions mating. This was the most outstanding park that we visited.

The safari company we booked with ensured we had the best game viewing in this sanctuary and recommend African Sermon Safaris operator. Their guides, Ben and James are also top class.

Kenya's Jewel of Masai Mara
Overall rating
5/5

A very scenic park with enormous wildlife populations worth viewing. The Wildebeest migration is indeed a magical thing to see. I was amazed at the wildlife numbers and the Mara River crossing the highlight. Overall, a must see before one's death. I was glad we had a good safari company arranging the tour for us, worth the mention - African Sermon Safaris.

The review below is the personal opinion of Becky and not that of SafariBookings.
Ok game viewing but pale in comparison with Serengeti
Overall rating
3/5

The best part - migration and crossing of the Masai River

The less desired part - cars driving off road and very close to animals to the extent impacting their hunting.

No Rhino sighting in 2 days - sad to not have a complete big 5 viewing
