It was a great safari with a great guide John Bow, great lodges
4/5

We had great days, unfortunately with a bit of bad weather on the second day and therefore not so many animal sightings. But that's just how nature is!

Both lodges (Vio Wildlife, Ngulia) were good, but you should definitely pack good hearing protection if you spend the night in Ngulia. At night, I don't know how many frogs start singing their concert (from sunset to sunrise) at such a volume that I thought they were sitting right next to me and ROARING right into my ear! None of us closed an eye.

Otherwise everything was wonderful! Everyone was friendly, the food was very good and each lodge had a highlight to offer!

John Bow, our guide, was relaxed, friendly, really helpful and confident in all situations!

Excellent and exceptional
5/5

JOHNBOW Tours and travel handled our latest vacation to mombas with the kids.
They are fair and quite helpful as they helped choose a hotel that would cater for the kids needs sufficiently.Their communication is top notch and a follow up on our stay during the vacation made us feel at home.
They understood their assignment and delivered beyond expectations.

We recently used this tour company, Johnbow for transport from Norfolk Nairobi to Naivasha, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The driver was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring our journey was smooth and enjoyable. What really stood out was the flexibility – the driver allowed us plenty of time to make stops for sightseeing and take photos, making the trip feel more personal and memorable. Highly recommend this company for anyone looking to explore Kenya with ease and comfort.

This safari was amazing! The hotel was lovely and we got to see 15 new animals I’ve never seen (coming from Sweden). The operator was easy to get ahold of for asking questions and our tour guide was best!

Great safari experience
5/5

I had a customized 3-day safari including Amboseli and Tsavo east. Safari was planned and executed very well. My tour guide Michael was experienced professional who provided a lot of information and details about safari and Kenya in general. There were some minor issues, the pick-up was 45 minutes late and there was a little confusion about the accomodation for the second night. But these were very minor issues because the experience was really good and the price was also reasonable.

The Johnbow team took us to Amboseli National Park for a few days. Their drivers were very friendly and supportive to our requests.

Tour operator that have clear line of communication.
5/5

I loved the services offered throughout the group joining Mara game drive.

The itinerary was shared in good time, and everything went as planned.

The experience was out of this world, from the game drives, disclipline and knowledge of the tour driver over night stay at Emayian luxury camp.

Looking forward to doing more tours with Johnnow.

The review below is the personal opinion of Stephanie and not that of SafariBookings.
irresponsible, terrible at planning.
1/5

John Bow Tours ruined our wildlife safari. They assured us they knew where to find the animals, but when we arrived, they clearly had no idea where to go. We waited for hours to witness the wildebeest migration, but it never happened. Other tour groups saw it just miles away, but we were stuck in a dead zone because our guide hadn’t done the necessary research. It was incredibly frustrating, especially after hearing that other people had amazing experiences. The lack of preparation was glaringly obvious, and when we complained, they simply brushed us off.
