Excellent safari experience in Africa!
We have enjoyed 10 excellent days of safari, with 4 friends coming from Argentina!
We stayed for 6 days in Kenya and 5 days in Tanzania, touring all the most famous parks of the place and we were able to see all species of animals, including the BIG FIVE!
We toured the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro !!
The quality of the reserved hotels were the best! The attention of the guide and Spanish speaking staff were also very friendly and allowed us to tour all the parks and see all the animals!
Excellent experience!
We recommend it !!
Greetings and thanks!

Excellent organisation of gorilla permits at late notice
Did a great job of organising gorilla permits for us at short notice.
They were fast and efficient, and dropped permits to our car hire company.
Very happy with the service received.
Reccomendations for improvements:
1. The different company names used are confusing
2. Found it difficult to figure out which payment option to choose from the options available on the online payment system. Some more instructions on this website for the different payment options would be good and it should definitely advise about any payment surcharges which can be significant as a percentage of the total (in our case $61 for two permits).

Our safari was a magical journey, well thought out, planned and executed! The best ever.
While we have been on a number of safari’s and thought we might be able to book this very special one ourselves, we were SO happy we didn’t try and instead received the expert guidance from this team at Journey’s Discovering Africa. They spent time getting to know us and the kind of experience we were looking for – they answered all our crazy questions (and we had many!) They provided in-depth lists of what we would need before, during and after our trip and made the entire 10-day extravaganza perfect in every way.
The entire safari was tailored exactly to our needs – finding the gorilla family perfect for us to track in Rwanda, the right dedicated drivers and guides, our timing and our budget. Our drivers and guides in both Uganda and Rwanda were knowledgeable, friendly, shared many mysteries of the bush and enlightened us with historical facts about each of the places we visited. Oh, their knowledge of wildlife and every bird we encountered was nothing less than amazing!
The team certainly provided a memorable experience for us – booking us at lodges where staff was committed to great service, right down to cleaning our boots after monkey/gorilla trekking! Our ‘glamping’ experience at Little Elephant Camp in Uganda was a sweet end to the Uganda part of our safari. The destinations and accommodations they chose for us were the best.
The part that I knew I could never pull off, they did seamlessly. Lots of little flights to catch along the way that cut our driving time by more than half. Even the flights were pleasant and another magical experience.
We barely had to do any thinking on our own at all! We are ever so grateful for all they put into making this the best safari ever!

Best Migration Safari in Masai Reserve
Waoooh.. Just from a 3 days safari to see the migration . We were thrilled on seeing the animals cross Mara river. Great sight. Our driver Patrick was on point . He made sure he got the best spot for us to take many many pictures . He was patient enough and any request we made to stop so we see an animal or take pictures he did. The sunset in Mara was out of this world. We are glad we booked with Bison safaris as we totally enjoyed every bit of the safari.

Amazing trip to Mt.Kenya
Me and my Brother took a 6 days hike to Mt.Kenya together With Arch Trek and Safaries.
We got good information from James before the trip, and much more when he picket us up at the hotel on the starting day.
We went on the hike With six others, a guide, porters and chef. Everyone talked English. We were well taken care of in regards of safety. In addition, we recieved much information about the surrounding, the Food was over all expectations, and the tent and huts were great. We had a lovely time, and we can absolutely recommend this Company to others.

Wonderful experience in the hands of Grace
From the start of communication with Bella Africa we got a helpful and cheerful vibe. We only had 5 days to play with and Bella planned it so we eould see and do the maximum possible, with a focus on primates. In the capable, flexible, entertaining guide and driver Grace we had a fantastic tour. Nothing was touch for her and she never stopped smiling. Her ability to drive for hours on the sometimes difficult roads while keeping us informed about Ugandan society and at the same time spotting wildlife along the way was very impressive. The safari in Queen Elizabeth Park and the gorilla tracking were unbeatable. I highly recommend Bella Africa and applaud the initiative to promote female guides and drivers. If you are lucky enough to get Grace as your guide, you will be in the best possible hands.

They had new surprises every day, right down to before we flew home.
The staff are very friendly and provided lots of interesting information.
I would highly recommend them!

The best guide made the best safari possible.
Our trip to Tanzania exceeded our hopes for animal viewing and a guide who understands and respects our needs. Our guide, David, was unbelievably able to spot and identify every type of animal. His personal connection with nature and his vast knowledge enhanced every aspect of our trip. The accommodations were perfect. The itinerary and daily schedule met our needs exactly. This was the trip of a lifetime. I would do it again in a second.
