Good combination with excellent value for money
We had a great time doing the seven days trip to Vic Falls, Chobe and Okavango with Roho Ya Chui. It allowed us to see the "must's" of the region within our limited available time. We particularly enjoyed the time at Bakwena Lodge and Machaba Camp in Botswana.

Everything was as promised. Very well organized and very professional. Would highly recommend.
We had a fantastic 14 day trip to South Africa and Zimbabwe with Pembury.
The communication from the start was great, with a lovely lady called Kerry. We emailed back and forth for over a year while she planned our safari. Kerry followed up on all my queries and provided fantastic service.
When I had an enquiry about the booking she would respond quickly and no longer than within 12-24 hours.
I was very impressed with how seamlessly we were able to travel and could rely on someone to always be there to pick us up and help through every process. All the accommodations exceeded our expectations and the sights we saw were amazing!
I definitely recommend using this company to book a trip.

affordable luxury as promised!
Good communication for booking, flexible itinerary.
Services as expected and on time.
We are a couple in our late 20's. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with our lovely and helpful guide Andrew on our safari to Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Flamingo Hill Camp and Mara Eden Camp were both lovely and highly recommended. Great to have the flexibility and privacy of a private safari.
All I'd say is that there aren't really any flamingos to see in Lake Nakuru but if you are interested in going there for a change of scene or the other wildlife, its pleasant.

An absolute trip of a lifetime! Thanks Kerry!
It had been a dream of mine for years to do an African safari. Our trip did one better by adding Victoria Falls, Cape Town and Franschhoek. Kerry put the perfect together for our group of 4 (2 couples). We had the excitement of Vic Falls with the microflight and swim at Livingstone Island to the exhilaration of hiking up Table Mountain to the absolute joy of safari. (Special highlight here was Notten’s Bush Camp – try to go there at all costs!) To end this trip perfectly we had 3 lovely days in wine country. All transfers went off without a hitch. All guides were tremendous. The accommodations were terrific and the experience was seamless.
I had such high expectations for this trip and they were exceeded. I have traveled extensively and this trip stands at the top alone. Thanks so much Kerry for your diligence, patience and expertise putting together and executing my trip of a lifetime!

Surprise Birthday Celebration with Kili Brothers at 19,341 feet!!
What an amazing experience!! We climbed Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Brothers in March of 2017 and had an incredible time. Our guide Abraham and assistant guide Massaga were awesome! They were attentive, motivating, and fun to be around. They made the experience what it was. Every need we had on the mountain was taken care of, including them toting ginger tea up the peak on summit night. We were summiting on my husband’s birthday and at the top we were surprised with a Birthday Cake at 19,341 feet!! A porter literally carried that thing for a few days to surprise us. THAT’S customer service like no other.
We also arranged for a safari through Kilimanjaro Brothers and that was equally amazing. I definitely suggest that as well! I will also say that we were taken care of from the moment we stepped off the plane. Transportation, lodging every night, and every meal was taken care of from the time we landed to the time we took off. They thought of everything and I really appreciate that team! Kili Brothers all the way!!

Fantastic Adventure
In February I travelled to Entebbe, Uganda, and wanted to see some wildlife in it's natural habitat. so chose Lake Mboro, which was a very manageable 3 hour drive.
Our every need was taken care of, and our guide, Dan, was a very good and respectful driver, making us feel safe at all times. On arrival at the guest house, we were greeted by the hosts, and nothing was too much trouble. The lodges are great. Clean, spacious and comfortable. We had an incredible view from our verandah.
Our first day was spent driving round the wildlife park in Dan's Land Cruiser, with the top down so we could see all around us. Dan has a real guide's knack of knowing where the animals might be, seeing them long before we could; and on day 2 we were lucky enough to come across a family of giraffe, who seemed as interested in us as we were in them. We also went for a boating trip on the lake getting up close and personal with hundreds of hippos, dodging crocodiles, and spotting eagles in the sunshine and swooping over the water - it was unforgettable and magical. Can't recommend the tour highly enough, and Dan was a pleasure to be with.

A perfect and absolutely beautiful tour with the best driver Lilian and personal organizer Bella!
Our 16-days-tour through the Western and Southern parts of Uganda with Lilian as our guide was simply amazing! Every day was well organized and planned by Bella just the way we wanted it to be, she really knows how to give her travelers a unique and perfect possibility to explore the pearl of Africa, Uganda.
All the Nationalparks we visited were great, our Chimp and Gorilla Treks were fantastic and memorable! Uganda has so much to offer, the landscapes keep on changing everywhere you're going, and the people are so friendly and helpful whenever you face a problem. Also the wildlife is great, we saw so many animals including elephants, lions, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, buffalos, zebras, warthogs, hyenas, so many different birds including the famous shoebill and of course a lot of primates including gorillas, chimps and many other kinds.
Our guide Lilian always tried to make the best things possible and she knows her country so well. Whenever there occurred problems (for example a flat tire), Lilian knew someone in the area or somehow found a way out. We always profited from her and it was a pleasure to have her with us on our tour, she is a very nice, funny and intelligent woman. We had so much fun and felt comfortable with each other from the first minute on which really made our tour through Uganda so great! :)
Also the accommodations were well picked and not only the bandas or rooms, but also the tented camps were a nice experience.
We can recommend Bella Africa Safaris to anyone who is looking for a personal planned, affordable and most important unique and unforgettable tour to Uganda! We would go with Bella Africa again anytime!
Thank you again for everything, Bella & Lilian! :)

Excellent experience - John is an awesome guide!
We visited Maasai Mara last January, and booked our 3-day safari with Beacon Safaris. Our experience was painless throughout. We booked the trip online with fluent e-mail communication with one of BS managers. Then, our guide (John) was waiting for us in Nairobi's airport on day 1 and drove us directly to the Mara. John is a legend of a guide! He was excellent at his job, he was very nice to us and did everything he could to maximise our experience and game viewing. Nothing to complain.

Exceptional services by Bison Safaris
I just finished my safari yesterday on 3rd April after landing in Kenya with my family for 10 days safari .One outstanding gesture i got from Bison safaris team is that upon arrival my Husbands luggage was left behind in South Africa by the airline, we were asked to fill a claim form and Bison safaris followed same up and in 1 days time the luggage was brought to us in Masai Mara where we were at that time. We really appreciated the much help Maggie gave us in this time and to get the luggage to us and safely .
More to that the safari was very exciting and finishing same at the beach gave us the relaxation we all needed. my Children were really happy playing with the sand and we loved Baobab Resort really alot .
We will always refer and we would recommend anyone taking safari to Kenya to use Biosn safaris since if anything happens for sure they will have your back and will not leave you alone in the mess.
Thanks alot to Maggie and whole of Bison Safaris team .
