A very pleasant experience
Maggie and her team understand what customer service is all about. We booked our safari with them online after reviewing other customer reviews. They did not disappoint . The safari was wonderful and met all of our expectations. From our courteous and flexible driver John to the glorious pool at the lodge, we enjoyed the full safari experience. I highly recommend them if you’re planning on going to Kenya for a Safari.

Great Organisation, Exceptional Customer Service all culminating in an exceptional experience
We did a 6 night/7 day safari, taking in Maasai Mara, Nukara and Amboseli. After a lot of research into differnt companies, I narrowed it down to 3 and after a call with each one, I decided to use Maggie and her company Bison Safaris for our trip. From the beginning Maggie proved to be so accomaddating and flexible with regard to our trip. she designed a 7 day excursion for us and again after more research she made the changes that I requsted, be it destinations/accomadation etc. Officially our tour started on a Sunday. Our flight arrived into Niarobi 6am on the Saturday and Maggie also arranged accomadation and transfer to a hotel where we had an early checkin facility. She also organised accomadation and transfers for us at the end of the Safari as we were going on to zanzibar for a week, and again when we returned from Zanzibar to depart for home from Nairobi. Nothing was too much trouble and last minute reqeusts/changes handled without hassle. The best Customer Service experience I have had in years! The Safari itself was fantastic, with great guides/drivers who were so friendly, Knowledgeble and did their absolute best to ensure we had the best experience. All the Hospitality/catering staff we met in the different camps/accomadations were also fantastic and also determined to ensure you enjoyed your visit. I really have no negatives to report, It was all fantasic. If I wanted to be really picky we had a few power failures, due to heavy rain, and I heard a few moans from others about this, however for us this just added to the experience and felt part of the real Kenya! So, our sincere thanks to Maggie and all her associates for making this one of the most memorable experience's of our lives!! Wev will be back!

Bison Safari Tour was Excellent and well planned
We took a 4 days and 3 nights safari to Masai Mara and Nakuru through Bison Safari. The trip was well planned, well managed. The driver cum Guide (Mr. Kush) was amazing and knowledgeable. He explained every minute details about animal behaviour. He was cordial enough and supportive while on the trip. He would stop as and when we requested due to kids call for washroom or having some snacks.
The hotels selected by Bison Safari (Jambo Mara and Buraha Zenoni) were also nice with great hospitality.
Thanks Bison Safari team for making this trip memorable.

AMAZING
We spent 10 days with Bison Safaris. We have no words to describe the experience; it was incredible. Maggie, the owner, was attentive to us the entire time and super flexible when organizing the entire trip. She was very professional and helpful. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with flowers (it was our honeymoon). It was all the little touches that made the difference. The next day, we met up with Andrew, our driver for the safari. He was a lovely person, always willing to show us everything, explain everything, and take us around, making stops whenever we needed. The safaris with Andrew were truly wonderful. He made us feel at home from the very first minute. He also shared many animal experiences with us and explained a lot about them. He has a lot of experience on safaris and took us to the best places to see the best of the safari, and he succeeded. Thank you, Bison Safari, for making our trip a unique experience.

Excellent Service!!!
Our 6-days budget safari across Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli was an unforgettable adventure! With exceptional service and attention to detail, we witnessed incredible Big Five sightings, wildebeests, topi, cheetahs among other wildlife. The Mara offered dramatic views of the wildebeest migration, while Lake Nakuru dazzled with flocks of pink flamingos. Amboseli's stunning landscape provided the perfect backdrop for wildlife sightings, with elephant tuskers freely roaming. The knowledgeable guides ensured we had a truly immersive and memorable experience, making this safari an absolute highlight.

Top Notch Service
Our 3 days Maasai Mara safari with Edward, our driver-guide from Bison Safaris was an unforgettable safari adventure. Edward’s expertise in spotting wildlife allowed us to witness the Big Five in just a short time. His knowledge of the animals and the Maasai Mara ecosystem added depth to our experience.
On our final day, we visited the Maasai village, where we had the opportunity to interact with the local Maasai people. This cultural experience was a highlight of our trip.
The service provided by Bison Safaris was top-notch, with comfortable transportation and personalized care throughout. This safari offered incredible value for money, combining outstanding wildlife sightings, expert guidance and an overall exceptional experience. Highly recommended!

Helpful
Bison Safaris made our first trip to Kenya absolutely unforgettable! From the very beginning, Ms. Maggie, the owner, went above and beyond to ensure we had a seamless and personalized experience. She was always quick to respond to our questions and took the time to understand our needs and interests.
We chose the 4-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha safari, and it turned out to be the highlight of our Kenya trip! The wildlife was absolutely stunning—seeing the majestic animals in their natural habitat left us in awe.
Our stay at Simba Oryx Lodge in Masai Mara was particularly special. To our surprise, Maggie arranged for the staff to celebrate our wedding anniversary with a beautiful cake! The staff even sang for us, which was such a heartwarming and memorable moment. It was such a thoughtful gesture that truly made us feel special.
The safari itself was well-organized. On the first day, we didn’t have a game drive, but Maggie suggested visiting the Maasai tribe village, and it was an eye-opening experience we’re glad we didn’t miss. The full-day game drive on the second day was incredible, and we got to see so much wildlife up close.
On the third day, we were supposed to stay at Buraha Zenoni Hotel, but since it was under renovation, they moved us to Hilton Court Resort and Spa. Both accommodations generously upgraded us to higher room categories at no extra cost, which made our stay even more comfortable.
Our driver, Dennis, was fantastic—skilled, friendly, and honest. He even returned a mobile phone we accidentally left in the car. For the safari vehicle, I highly recommend Maggie’s Land Cruiser for maximum comfort, especially if you’re traveling in a group.
This trip exceeded all our expectations, thanks to Maggie’s careful planning and attention to detail. I can’t wait to book another safari with Bison Safaris and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and personalized experience. Thank you, Maggie and team, for an anniversary and safari we’ll never forget!
