Proactive top-notch team, beyond expectations
After digging up the internet, we came across to Bisons Safaris and Maggie and her team. She was available and responsive from day one, throughout all the steps from getting a visa to Covid test and regulations in Kenya, to the last day of our journey. Even after our farewell to the group, she stood by me and made sure everything went well.
Our tour guide, Joshua, was an impressive soul, knowledgeable and passionate about every detail of the country, national parks and animals. He was caring, helping and positive about everything.
We had a blast with this team, and we make sure everyone around us planning to go to Kenya, makes a great fortune outta their money and time by joining this professional team.

It was amazing experience!
This September we were on a 4-day safari in Masai Mara + lake Nakuru. It was magnificently! We saw so many different animals: elephants, lions, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, and lots of others. Often they were very close to the car. Most common were zebras and wildebeests, we saw hundreds or maybe thousands of them. On this safari you feel like you get into the fairy tale. Landscapes are also fantastic. We highly recommend this safari to everyone.
Bison Safaris organized all very well. They tried their best to make our journey wonderful. We want to say special thanks to Maggie, she answered in details to all our questions which we had a lot, because it was our first trip to Africa. She also helped us to buy tickets to the SGR train to Mombasa after safari. We also want to say thanks to our guide Isaac.
Awesome
It was amazing and I'd definitely recommend it. The tour guide/driver was very kind and very knowledgeable.

Excellent service
Maggie from Bison Safaris provided excellent customer service: readily available, responsive, accommodating and kind. Our driver and guide was wonderful also. So while the budget options all seemed quite similar (we all pretty much go to the same places and even share vans, etc, which is absolutely fine), for me these two aspects of the experience were paramount and a great value add. I would not hesitate to recommend Bison Safaris. A big thank you to Maggie and her team.

Bison Safari - Going Above and Beyond
My girlfriend and I have enjoyed every minute of our 4-day private tour with Bison Safari (Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara), and we highly recommend going through them to plan a safari trip in Kenya.
Bison Safari went above and beyond to make our trip so smooth and relaxing. We traveled during a stressful time because of the COVID-19 pandemic, with many countries shutting down their borders and Kenya tightening social interactions. We were in constant contact with Maggie, who helped us ensure we were safe and who provided us the most up-to-date information with ever-changing local enforcement rules. She alleviated a lot of the stress, which allowed us to focus on our trip and watching animals.
We booked the tour through Maggie about 5 months in advance. She was very patient with the questions we had and showed a lot of understanding with the experience we wanted to get. She put a lot of effort in tailoring a great package for us and booking us the best hotels for our price point. In addition, she went above and beyond giving us recommendations on where to eat, and we really appreciated that Maggie helped us with other parts of our trip, even when they were not booked with Bison Kenya.
During our safari tour, we were assigned Joshua as our driver. He spoke very good English, he was extremely friendly, and amazing at catching animals while driving! He knew everything there is to know about each animal and provided some useful insight about the local culture. We felt secure and in great hands, and we felt like we were traveling with a friend more than with just a driver.
Thank you Maggie and Joshua, and we hope you the best!

Great guide, but lack of communication from Office to the guide
My Mom and I were very happy with our guide, Kikito, but we weren’t very impressed with the amount of time we had to wait on connecting vans and also the fact that we on our last day had to make Kikito aware that we had a flight to catch in the evening from Nairobi. So all of a sudden we had to be rushed in a separate car to the airport. Not very professional and very stressful.
Also, the van seats were very uncomfortable. Besides that it was good and we enjoyed especially Nakuru National Park and the food at Lanet Matfam Resort was amazing

Fantastic!
Our trip was nothing less than fantastic! Bison worked with our priorities for sites to see and our timetable. They did a great job at ensuring we saw what we had hoped for. Having a nice itinerary planned with activities and travel settled was such a nice treat! The stress of traveling in a foreign country was gone! Loved the activities planned and also the cars we traveled in were great! It was such a relaxing and wonderful trip!

Fantastic Tour
Our safari was excellent, from pick up at the airport to our last day. We did a 6 days safari with Bison Safari and we had a rewarding experience.
Thanks to the superb planning by Maggie and her team. The itinerary was well detailed capturing all our needs.Their attention to detail was extraordinary. James our driver guide was very helpful with spotting the animals. He indeed was very knowledgeable and professional. We got to see a pride of lions kill a zebra and tons of wildlife and birds. We left with so many memories. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect trip.

Great Safari, Unique Experience!
The tour was everything I had hoped for. Bison team were very professional and efficient from the pick up at the airport to our last day of the Safari. James, our driver guide was wonderful and very time conscious. He was also very knowledgeable and professional. The tour to Maasai Mara was a dream come true for me as I had always wanted to tour the Mara. Despite the rains our game drives were so much fun and we got to see all of the big five.
What I really enjoyed was the visit to the Maasai Village. The rhythmic singing, dancing and jumping of the Maasai warriors was the highlight of my tour. The Maasai are indeed such lovely people with a very rich cultural heritage. We left Kenya wit unforgettable memories and we'll definitely visit soon.
Bravo Bison Team for the amazing planning.
