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.

Johnson is the epitome of excellence and 5 stars is not enough!
Traveling to a place I’ve always dreamed of across the world I was nervous. No travel service, just went on and researched safaris, read reviews and found my self on Lion Rider tours again and again. Sent in a request for a quote and Johnson responded right away. We connected via what’s ap and communication was consistent and informative. He answered any questions from the very beginning. We were picked up at our hotel and spent 6 days visiting Maisa Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. Johnson’s knowledge of the different species of animals was remarkable and his patience with me wanting to capture the moments, I will always be grateful for. He knew where the animals would be and would tell us about each one in detail. I would highly recommend Lion-rider tours to anyone. Plan on riding with them again in the future.

The perfect, safari tour guide who made my experience more than I had ever expected.
My 6 day safari with Lion Rider was an unforgettable experience with Johnson as my tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, experienced and reliable. During the planning before my trip he answered all of my questions and provided the assistance needed inorder to book the tour. The hotel & lodge accommodations were impressive. The safari was incredible. I saw lots of wildlife from the big 5 to the smallest and prettiest bird. Johnson's knowledge of every animal, various trees & plants and Kenya was incredible. It was money well spent and I honestly thought I had under paid. I do plan to go on another safari in the future with Lion Rider Tours.

The adventure of a lifetime!
I went to Kenya with my mother. We and our family joined a lot of tour in the past around the world. I’ve never met such a spontaneous, genuine, kind, informative person as Mr. Johnson is. He welcomed us with warm and professionality. He’s been always thoughtful and attentive to our needs. He never said no to our requests and he done his best to make sure we were happy and fully satisfied. We booked a Safari in Amboseli National Park and we saw all the animals we wanted. That’s all thanks to the great experience of the guide. He could recognize and predict the behavior of the animals and spot the perfect place to stay to see and take photos like in a documentary movie. Not only we had an amazing experience inside the park but Mr. Johnson is also a great human being. He never feel tired to talk about all kind of topic. He share real wisdom with us. Of course he’s a very discreete person so if you like silence he can be also very respectful and sober. He’s also a very good driver. He always drived in safety and adapted his drive inside the park in order to give us as much comfort as possible and be respectful towards the animal. I'll defenetely reccomend to book a private tour. It'll worth every single money you will spent. The most important thing to me is that i’ve never felt like he was doing that only for job. He really enjoyed to spent time with people and guide them. When i’ll come back for another safari i won’t have doubt to choose again Mr Johnson Mule!
Thank you very much for giving us the adventure of a lifetime!

Mule was very warm, hospitable, funny and knowledgeable.
We had a great Masai Mara safari experience. Mule was very knowledgeable so he was able to answer all our questions. He made sure we saw all the animals and especially the Leopard and Cheetah which are usually hard to find. The experience worth evey penny. I would highly recommend Lion Rider Tours and Safaris and especially Mule as your tour guide.

Best Safari Experience
We used Lion Riders for a safari to the Masai Mara and it was amazing! We set up the trip last minute, but Johnson was very helpful and everything was seamless. We traveled with family including three young children. Johnson was very careful while driving. He was very patient and flexible with us. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed the trip as well.
He was extremely knowledgeable about all the animals and the Masai Mara. He knew how to get around easily and safely. He can spot animals that are so far away, it’s incredible! He was very friendly and professional. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a tour guide for any trip in Kenya.

Experienced and Knowledgeable Tour Guide
This was our second time using Johnson and Lion Rider Tour and Safari for Nairobi National Park. It was an excellent experience! He was timely, knowledgeable, and very friendly. He knew his way around the park easily and could answer any of our questions about the animals. We had such a nice morning game drive. I would highly recommend Johnson and Lion Riders.
