Best Budget safari company
Communication between me and Maggie was amazing -she replies emails really fast with clear details.
We got excellent service in the camps and the drivers were very careful and respectful and above all they knew where we would see the animals we were looking for. Our expectations were totally exceeded and even before the start of safari i didn't have any doubt that it was gonna be a great safari .
Much thanks to Maggie -MD Bison safaris for the outstanding advise.
We booked a budget safari but we felt like we enjoyed a 5 star safari. And the Multiingual driver guide (James) came in handy with the German language -That was excellent Maggie .
We would advise anyone to use Bison safaris for your safari needs .

Very professional staff and excellent follow up before during and after the trip.
We had experience Uganda to organize safari, gorilla tracking and a nice resort for relaxing. Our trip from Geneva to Entebbe could have started better not missing connection flight and luggage. However, Experience Uganda followed up and arranged transport of luggage with a small domestic airline to our safari location (Queen Elizabeth national park) upon arrival. They had identified an outstanding guide not only very knowledgeable but also very pleasant. Having been on many safaris before I learnt a lot. The same guide took us to the place of the gorilla tracking and was able to have us in a group tracking a family not close to the departure place (we wanted to walk as well). This was indeed an experience which could now be ticked off the bucket list. Experience Uganda had booked a very nice lodge near Jinja in the middle of the Nile. Here we had different activities we could choose. We took rafting which was very special and great fun. We very very much pleased with the organization and support we had from Experience Uganda. The trip was very well organized and without any hiccups after arrival. Would strongly recommend them.

Fantastic Safari with the best guide and all arrangements was perfect.
Everything worked excellent. Our guide Geoffrey is like a open book. His knowledge about the animals and the national parks is absolutely impressing. Hi is a safe driver and always look after us and had security at first priority. It was only for us to lean back and enjoy :-) We will use the same company next time.

Incredible Maasai Mara Safari
Giving 5 star is not enough to Bison Safaris team as they gave us extraordinary service .Being a group of 30 people they handled us like it was just 2 people -so easy and effective.Thanks for the memorable trip .Great drivers and vehicles and really we enjoyed our stay at Ashnil Mara Camp. the rooms are out of this world and the camp is inside the reserve with great game viewing.

Great adventure and good price
We contact Karibu Safaris via email, Robert answered pretty fast the same day. We chose Karibu cause they had the cheaper price for a 4 day Safari to Masai Mara and Nakuru. They picked us up at 6:30 am as they told us cause our camp was a bit far. If this is your case be sure to be on time cause the traffic is terrible. We spent two hours to get to the city center. The van for the safari was ok, it's conditions wasn't the best though. And be prepared for 4 days of bumpy roads. Our driver was Isaac, he was friendly and helpful. The camp where we stayed was just outside Masai Mara Reserve and it was a beautiful and confortable place with big tents and beds, and the bathroom was ok too with hot water. Note that you would have power just a few hours during the day. The Masai Mara Reserve experience was awesome. We were able to see a cheetah hunting, lions, elephants, and many more. The hotel where we stayed in Nakuru was of very good quality too. And in the Nakuru park we were able to see rhinos and baboons. If you are on a budget I definitely recommend Karibu Safaris in Kenya.

Amazing adventure 5 star from top to bottom
Before we went, my husband and I contacted many budget safari tours, and Jackson from MJ safaris was always proactive in answering all our questions and provide valid answers. We felt very reliable and we booked with MJ. The trip was so amazing and it was a once-in-a-life time experience. Both our tour guide/driver and chef are so professional. Our tour guide is majored in zoology in university and he knew the animals, we ended up seeing a leopard very close by, just crossing in front of our jeep, because our tour guide knew that it was going to rain and the leopard would go down the tree from far away, so we listened and he was right.( It is rare to see a leopard closely. ) we also saw a cheetah hunting for an impala, elephant herds crossing in front of our jeep. Female ,male and baby lions close by and a male lion laying right behind our jeep... There are so many breathtaking moments, you name it...The accommodations were very well organised as well, the guide and chef set up our tent every time, so it is worry free. All you need to do is enjoy the scenery. it was a private tour for me and my husband, the jeep is a nearly new land cruiser. (Never had any problems during the tour), driver had very good driving skills and drivels super safe. The chef cooks delicious meals, and my husband and I heard that Masai lamb is much more delicious than regular lamb ,we bought a live one on the way, and the chef BBQ , stewed and stir fired and made curry rice for the us under very limited cooking conditions. Very delicious. The staff tried very hard to make your trip a perfect one and it was a perfect trip for us for sure. Also I need to mention, they were very very punctual, never late for our tours.. I highly recommend MJ safaris and adventure to our friends and family.Lastly, we met a group of people from the U.S., Australia and New Zealand who did mount Kilimanjaro climbing with Mj safari, they had very positive experience as well. So go ahead and book with confident !

Kenya Visit
The communications received prior to our arrival were timely and provided the necessary information to prepare for our trip. Our first tour with Classic was a Masai Mara safari tour. The driver was prompt and detailed the events of the day. Edwin, our guide, was excellent. His knowledge of the area provided us with a great background to the incredible days out in the Mara. We then asked for additional tours custom to our time frame and specific sites to visit. Classic Journeys accommodated us and provided to separate day tours in the Nairobi area. Matthew was our guide and did an excellent job with transportation and general knowledge of Nairobi and Kenya. We were so lucky to have selected Classic Journeys Africa and would highly recommend them to anyone travelling to Kenya.

Top experience
In december 2016 we were in the most comfortable situation that we could climb the Kilimanjaro with our sons. A real happening that we have been looking forward to for a long time. We were attended by a friend on the company Mega Adventures. Everything was pre arranged through the mail and it felt very good. Our expectations were not disappointed. The climb was superb and the support of Mega Adventures in this was excellent. Super guides, good materials, excellent food, superb planning. And in the background Mohamed Atik was a great support(er). We were very happy to have selected Mega Adventures, our experience was one of the greatest. Thanks a lot guys.

Perfect Safari!
For us a perfect safari consists of a good guide, comfortable car, spotting the Big Five, unexpected adventure, witnessing a kill, seeing a cheetah so close you can almost touch him, lovely lodges/tents, good weather, delicious food, new knowledge.
Ajabu Adventures made all of this possible for us!
Special thanks to our friendly and more than good guide Juma!
We hope to come back to Tanzania in a few years. Ajabu sana, kwaheri! The Nap Family
