Bison Safari - Going Above and Beyond
My girlfriend and I have enjoyed every minute of our 4-day private tour with Bison Safari (Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara), and we highly recommend going through them to plan a safari trip in Kenya.
Bison Safari went above and beyond to make our trip so smooth and relaxing. We traveled during a stressful time because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with many countries shutting down their borders and Kenya tightening social interactions. We were in constant contact with Maggie, who helped us ensure we were safe and who provided us the most up-to-date information with ever-changing local enforcement rules. She alleviated a lot of the stress, which allowed us to focus on our trip and watching animals.
We booked the tour through Maggie about 5 months in advance. She was very patient with the questions we had and showed a lot of understanding with the experience we wanted to get. She put a lot of effort in tailoring a great package for us and booking us the best hotels for our price point. In addition, she went above and beyond giving us recommendations on where to eat, and we really appreciated that Maggie helped us with other parts of our trip, even when they were not booked with Bison Kenya.
During our safari tour, we were assigned Joshua as our driver. He spoke very good English, he was extremely friendly, and amazing at catching animals while driving! He knew everything there is to know about each animal and provided some useful insight about the local culture. We felt secure and in great hands, and we felt like we were traveling with a friend more than with just a driver.
Thank you Maggie and Joshua, and we hope you the best!

Excellent service
Maggie from Bison Safaris provided excellent customer service: readily available, responsive, accommodating and kind. Our driver and guide was wonderful also. So while the budget options all seemed quite similar (we all pretty much go to the same places and even share vans, etc, which is absolutely fine), for me these two aspects of the experience were paramount and a great value add. I would not hesitate to recommend Bison Safaris. A big thank you to Maggie and her team.

It was amazing experience!
This September we were on a 4-day safari in Masai Mara + lake Nakuru. It was magnificently! We saw so many different animals: elephants, lions, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, and lots of others. Often they were very close to the car. Most common were zebras and wildebeests, we saw hundreds or maybe thousands of them. On this safari you feel like you get into the fairy tale. Landscapes are also fantastic. We highly recommend this safari to everyone.
Bison Safaris organized all very well. They tried their best to make our journey wonderful. We want to say special thanks to Maggie, she answered in details to all our questions which we had a lot, because it was our first trip to Africa. She also helped us to buy tickets to the SGR train to Mombasa after safari. We also want to say thanks to our guide Isaac.

Proactive top-notch team, beyond expectations
After digging up the internet, we came across to Bisons Safaris and Maggie and her team. She was available and responsive from day one, throughout all the steps from getting a visa to Covid test and regulations in Kenya, to the last day of our journey. Even after our farewell to the group, she stood by me and made sure everything went well.
Our tour guide, Joshua, was an impressive soul, knowledgeable and passionate about every detail of the country, national parks and animals. He was caring, helping and positive about everything.
We had a blast with this team, and we make sure everyone around us planning to go to Kenya, makes a great fortune outta their money and time by joining this professional team.

Absolutely loved it!
It was fantastic! Our safari driver guide was incredibly knowledgeable and a great spotter. We were able to see most of the big five. The trip far exceeded my expectations. The lodges were great with amazing food and the itinerary well-tailored to ensure that we got to experience most of what we wanted.

5 Days Safari (Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Hell's Gate NP)
We're found Bison Safaris on the internet and did not miss the choice.
We are very grateful to Maggie for choosing the best option for us. We travelled to Kenya in a group of four friends and booked Toyota Land Cruiser only for our team. Solomon the Guide is quite professional and nice.
During the safari, we were very lucky and saw plenty of birds and animals, rare too. My wife and I are engaged in animal protection in Ukraine, we are professional zoologists, and we were pleasantly surprised that Solomon, unlike other guides we saw during the safari, does not insist on animals. We are very grateful to him for this. We consider it important to develop sustainable tourism.
All the accommodations were nice and comfortable.
Many thanks to the Bison Safaris team for the experience and amazing vacations!

The Best of the Best service
My family decided to visit Kenya in January and we were recommended Bison safaris by our friends who had travelled with them . Our 10 days safari in Kenya has been amazing and my children are very happy . Maggie went out of her way to give us options and we chose the best units at affordable rates. Our Driver James was lovely with the kids and knows a lot about animals and the places we visited . I would recommend Bison safaris to anyone wishing to have a dream trip to Kenya.
