Had an awesome Bison Safaris experience! Maggie was super responsive and helpful from the start. Our guide Mike was the best—we saw pretty much every animal we hoped for! Great service all around. Highly recommend!

You’ll definitely be the #1 local tour group in Kenya!
Compared to local tour groups of China Travel Service, this one is far from overpriced—it’s totally great value! At only $1,000 per person, it includes stays in top-notch hotels. All three daily meals are varied and absolutely delicious, perfect for my Chinese palate. Our guide Mike has one of the best service attitudes I’ve ever seen; he’s amazing at providing emotional support, kept us entertained throughout the trip by chatting and helping us whenever needed. We also spotted plenty of animals—thanks to Mike, we got to witness a cheetah hunt, which was spectacular and breathtaking. I highly recommend Mike, we all absolutely adored him and will miss him dearly when we head home!

Highly recommend this travel agency!
From the initial itinerary customization to the on-the-spot trip arrangements, every detail was handled with professionalism and care. The agency paired us with an exceptional guide, Mike, whose profound knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife and culture, along with his warm and enthusiastic service, made our safari experience truly unforgettable.
Mike was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Kenya—we couldn’t have asked for a better guide! His professionalism is truly top-notch: he knew every corner of the savanna like the back of his hand, shared fascinating insights about the local wildlife and Maasai culture that made every safari drive feel like a living lesson, and always went the extra mile to ensure our safety and comfort.
What made the experience even more special was his incredible enthusiasm and warm, easygoing personality. He greeted us with a big smile every morning, was always ready to answer our endless questions with patience and joy, and even shared stories of his own life in Kenya that made us feel connected to the land and its people. Whether we were chasing a pride of lions at dawn or enjoying a sunset picnic under the acacia trees, Mike’s positive energy made every moment feel magical.
All of us fell in love with his kindness and passion—he didn’t just guide us through Kenya, he made us feel like family. If you’re planning a trip to this beautiful country, Mike is the only guide you need. We’ll definitely be back, and we can’t wait to explore more of Kenya with him by our side!

Bison Safaris: A Perfect Blend of Expertise, Warmth, and Unforgettable Wildlife Encounters
From the moment I booked my safari, Bison Safaris provided seamless communication and attentive service. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and ecosystems, making every game drive both educational and thrilling. The accommodation was comfortable, the itinerary was well-paced, and the value for money was excellent. I felt safe and well-cared for throughout the trip, and the memories of seeing the Big Five in their natural habitat will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Bison Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable African safari experience.

Maggie has the magic and Mike turns it into reality
Before coming here, I chose 3 to 5 tour operators, and finally got in touch with them via WeChat. I chose BiosonSafaris because of the price. However, other tour operators told me that the price was too low, so I also asked her why the price was so low. She told me Because her off-road car is her own and not rented, I have a price advantage, and based on her honesty and price advantage, I chose biosonsafaris.
Due to time constraints, I chose the order of Amboseli, Naivasha, Masai Mara, and the hotels I stayed at were OLtukai, Naiwasha, Sopa, and Masai Mara camp. In my opinion, they are all great places. My favorite is Oltukai because I can see elephants and Mount Kilimanjaro in the morning. Maasai Mara is a heart-stirring experience.
Lastly, I would like to thank our guide, Mike, who has more animal knowledge than AI and a kind and simple heart. We got along very well during these six days. Leopards are very difficult to find, but thanks to teamwork and professional knowledge, he was able to find the best location as quickly as possible. On the last day, under the sunset. He opened a bottle of wine for us, a perfect ending.
I sincerely recommend that everyone choose Bioson Safaris and choose Mike. Finally, thank Bioson Mike.

We had an amazing and unforgettable safari experience with Bison Safaris.
We had an amazing time on our 8 day wildlife adventure with Bison Safaris. We visited three national reserves - Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara - and took a scenic trip to Lake Naivasha and Crescent Island to walk with giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and more.
The highlights of the trip were the game drives around the national reserves where we experienced Kenyan wildlife at its finest, including the Big 5. Our guide Antony, who took care of us during our whole trip, was extremely helpful, kind, and really knew his way around to show us the best the reserves had to offer. Thanks to Antony we were able to see amazing sightings on every game drive and had some really unforgettable moments especially in Maasai Mara.
We had a truly wonderful trip, and were also very happy with all accommodations and meals (especially the bush lunch experience!) and communication with Maggie and Lawrence. We would definitely recommend Bison Safaris for an unforgettable safari experience.

Outstanding Service and Unmatched Crisis Management: A Perfect Kenyan Safari
Our 9 days family safari with Maggie of Bison Safari, covering Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli, was an unforgettable, budget-friendly experience. Maggie provided comprehensive support, guiding us from initial tour planning and airport deboarding right through to our final shopping day in Nairobi. We loved the spectacular landscapes and the courteous and professional Kenyan people we met.
What truly impressed us was Maggie’s integrity and crisis management. When we faced a sudden flight cancellation, she immediately rearranged our schedule and even graciously reduced her own service fee. She also expertly navigated the disruption caused by the Gen Z protest in Nairobi, ensuring our family's safety and keeping the entire tour stress-free.
Maggie’s kindness and professionalism made our trip perfect. We wholeheartedly recommend Bison Safari to anyone planning a Kenyan adventure—you are in the best possible hands.
P.S. Maggie, I still miss that nice hat!

Wonderful safari trip in Kenya
I had a fantastic 7-day safari trip in Kenya! Very well organized and easy contact, and I would highly recommend Bison.
Maggie is incredibly responsible, replying messages and questions almost instantly, which made the planning process so smooth and stress-free. Other companies I contacted always spent 1-2 days to reply my message, which made me speechless.
Absolutely perfect safari experience!
