I have seen the big five!
It was a great experience with a great team. I wanna thank everyone for the well organized trip. I and my father had a good time. Note that once you get your room, make sure your bed is free of bugs or ask them to change/clean it. Great experience and I will do it again !

Excellent experience with a superb driver/guide.
We booked a 5 day safari with Bison Safaris and I truly recommend them. The driver Joshua was very knowledgeable, helpful, responsive and had always everything well organised and under control. As a guide he was an excellent information source both about Kenya and its wildlife.
The safari itself included 2.5 days at Masai Mara, one day at Nakuru and one day at Hells Gate.
If I would do it again, I would probably skip Nakuru (however, the point of Nakuru was the rhinos). Hells Gate gorges are a must through.
Again, I do recommend Bison Safaris.

Wonderful Trek to Top of Mt Kenya
Thank you Maggie and all of your team for a fantastic time climbing Mt Kenya
Each of your team members contributed to a wonderful experience.
The Porters were strong and professional. Your chef made some excellent meals, and Muriithi and Kamau were very knowledgeable and supportive guides who made me feel safe and welcome
We also had a lot of laughs as they are all good fun to be with
We definitely recommend Bison Safaris to anybody else looking to climb Mt Kenya or do a safari
and thank you again for a marvellous experience
Best regards

Misleading and sub contracts out without telling you in advance. Be advised, I was also harassed
Unless you are on a private tour and paying big bucks then don't be misled.
They will tell you anything you want to hear, and have good communication. But if you think you are joining one of their safaris, then be advised that they sub contract out to unqualified and poorly organized drivers who work for other budget companies like Bon Fire Adventures. You may be in a van with people from 5 other budget safari companies with different itinaries then you.
Because the driver was juggling different itineraries, he tried to change mine and when I didn't want to stay in a differant lodge, he pitted me against other guest whom one harassed me along with himself.
I lost out on 2 drives as a result.
At 60 years old this was not the safari experience I was hoping for.
They advertise professional driver/guide. The driver was neither. He drove 90% of the time on his cell phone both on the highway and in the park. He had a broken pair of binoculars and only relied on other drivers to tell him where the animals were. This may be ok for young travellers, but I did not feel safe and he was aware of this but continued.
Bison tours would not offer any compensation and did not care about my safety with the two men who were harassing me.
If you plan on joining a safari if you are alone or a couple do not go with Bison or Bon Fire or other operators that don't have their own van and sub contract out. Also make sure that everyone is staying in the same location and on the same itinerary.

A unique experience
Taking the tour with Bison Safaris is the best I could do. The closeness and concern of Maggie for us to have the PERFECT TRIP was EXCEPTIONAL! A trip made to our measure. Wilson our driver, THE BEST! He knew the parks and roads better than anyone and his Spanish was very good. If I had to repeat it I would do it without hesitation with Bison Safaris! I'm very happy. MANY THANKS TO MAGGIE AND WILSON!

Amazing people make amazing sites
We had a lovely time with Bison Safaris- when seeing zebra and giraffes become a common siting by day 2 you know it has been a great safari. James and Jack- our guides took it to the next level for us. We saw cheetahs and rhinos with in feet of us, lion prides, and laughed the whole way! Everyday was a true adventure with 2 men who helped teach us about their country and life. It became a road trip with family thru the beautiful country side. Much appareciated for your kindness and knowledge, James and Jack!!! Highly recommend the team!
