Prompt Refund after I cancelled my 3 day Safari
This is a bit of a different type of review. Johnson was such a pleasure to work with. He set up my 3 day solo private safari, at a very reasonable price, for March 2024. I was planning to add a safari to Masai Mara after visiting refugee camps in neighboring countries. However, my refugee visit got cancelled for other reasons, so I emailed Johnson that I regrettably had to cancel my safari as well. My email notice came to him with more than the 45 day 100% refund minimum. Sure enough, on the first business day after emailing Johnson, the refund was in my bank account. Amazing. I would certainly trust Lion Safari to handle your Safari after this excellent service and refund response.

A wonderful experience that will be unforgettable!
I can not express enough how wonderful our time was with Johnson as our guide from Lion Rider Tours. During our tour Johnson was always professional and kind. He took us on an amazing journey providing us knowledge not only of the animals but of the vibrant history of Kenya. Every drive was full of excitement and the joy of seeing and experiencing the beauty of the animals that call the Masai Mara home and the people of the Massai tribe that have lived on these lands for many years. Johnson and his team really took care of us and we can not thank him enough for the kindness that was shown to us along the way. We encourage you to choose Lion Rider Tours for your next big adventure at any of the many national parks that cover Kenya and more.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
We had a perfect 7 day safari with Lion Riders, visiting Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara.
Our guide, Johnson, was extremely friendly and kind and ensured we had an unforgettable experience. He is very knowledgeable and has lots of stories to share, both about the wildlife and culture. He also has an incredible ability to spot animals from a great distance, meaning we got to see all of the animals we were hoping to (including two sightings of leopards, which are very good at hiding!). We always got the best spot for sightings, including the perfect viewpoint to watch the wildebeest crossing the Mara River during the migration. Johnson also found great positions for us to take photos of the sunrise and the animals.
All of the lodges Johnson recommended were brilliant too, and the 4x4 was comfortable.
We were very well looked after throughout the week and would highly recommend Johnson and Lion Riders to anyone! :)

Mr. Johnson is an amazing guide and driver.
Our guide, Johnson, possessed an extensive knowledge of the local flora and fauna. He effortlessly shared captivating stories about each animal we encountered, enlightening us with fascinating details about their behaviors, habitats, and conservation efforts. His ability to spot wildlife from a distance was truly astounding, allowing us to witness incredible sightings we could have easily missed on our own.
Johnson's enthusiasm for his job was infectious. He exuded genuine excitement with every new discovery, and his passion for wildlife conservation was evident in his explanations and discussions. He made sure we understood the delicate balance of the ecosystem and the importance of protecting these incredible creatures and their habitats for future generations.
Moreover, Johnson's professionalism and attention to detail were commendable. He ensured that all safety protocols were followed and that we had the best vantage points to observe wildlife without causing any disturbance. His driving skills were impeccable, navigating through rugged terrains with ease and always prioritizing our comfort and safety.

Lion Rider Tours provided the perfect safari experience.
We enjoyed a 2 day safari with Lion Rider Tours in February of 2023. It was an amazing experience. Johnson was our tour guide. I can't imagine a better guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and an amazing person. We were picked up in Nairobi and driven to the Masai Mara. The drive was comfortable and enjoyable. The Masai Mara was beautiful and Johnson knew all of the best places to visit in the park. We saw lions, elephants, cheetahs, hippos, and everything else you can imagine. All the while Johnson was giving us interesting facts and enhancing our experience with his knowledge and affable nature. The hotel we stayed at was beautiful and right on the edge of the park, there were zebras wandering through the grounds. The room was comfortable and the food was very good. It was an amazing experience. I would recommend Lion Rider Tours and Johnson to anyone without reservation.
