Happy and insightful.
We had the most unforgettable safari adventure, and a big part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Johnson. He was super friendly, always smiling, and his positive energy made the entire trip even more enjoyable.
Johnson wasn’t just a great guide; he was an expert at spotting wildlife! Thanks to him, we saw all the animals we had hoped for – lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and so much more. He shared his deep knowledge about the wildlife and nature, making the experience both exciting and educational.
The accommodations were stunning, offering the perfect mix of comfort and connection to nature. Everything was well-organized, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the trip.
If you’re looking for a safari experience with exceptional service and a guide who truly loves what he does, we highly recommend booking with them – and asking for Johnson if you can!
Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

Excellent
We traveled with Lion Rider for the first time, and I only have fantastic things to say about them.
We corresponded with Johnson, who responded quickly and thoroughly to all our questions right from the beginning of the booking process.
During the trip, whenever we needed something from the hotel staff—like a late lunch or an early breakfast before the official opening hours—he made it happen.
On the safari, we could truly feel that he was just as passionate about spotting the animals as we were. He had incredible instincts for reading the animals’ behavior, which led us to the best locations and viewpoints, allowing us to see the animals up close and take many amazing photos. We managed to check off every animal we wanted to see.
He answered all our questions about Kenya and the wildlife. He was extremely positive, helpful, and as passionate about the experience as we were, which made us feel completely safe and well taken care of.
I can wholeheartedly recommend him and Lion Rider to others.

Amazing safaris with Lion Rider Tours and Safaris!
Would highly recommend booking a tour with this company! I was in contact with Johnson weeks beforehand, and he helped me sort out the best options for me and my family. On the day itself, they were perfectly punctual, knowledgeable and thanks to him we had the best trip!

Excellent tour operator, especially request Mule Johnson as your guide.
My girlfriend and I are well traveled, but this is one of the most exceptional vacation we have had. I recommend going in September during the dry season like we did because 1) Avoids crowds of summer, 2) Most of the animals travel up to Kenya from the Serengeti along with the wildebeest migration so the area is packed, 3) Lack of bugs. We went to four areas so we saw everything including same rare species. If you can get Mule Johnson as your guide it will be even better. He knew where to go BEFORE other guides as he is an experienced 14 year local.

friendly,knowledgable,paitient and able to be in the right place at the right time for best sighting
Johnson was able to put together a bucket list safari trip for my family of 5 from South Africa,
we are all keen bush lovers but there was still so much we learnt from Johnson, our sightings were incredible, from lions with cubs trying to take down a buffalo to a cheetah mom with 4 big cubs to the millions of wildebeest and the actual crossing of the Mara River itself, the trip was perfectly executed and the accommodation and food at simba oryx were great but the staff there were even better
thank you Johnson, we would recommend you to anyone looking for a tour guide in Kenya
