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!

An unforgettable, once in a lifetime trip to Kenya
What an unforgettable experience!! From the moment we landed in Kenya to the very last day, everything was seamless, exciting, and full of heart. A huge THANK YOU to Mike, who was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so easy to be around - patient, funny, and always going the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and getting the best out of each day.
Mike, you truly brought the safari to life. Whether it was spotting the Big Five, explaining animal behavior, or just sharing stories about the land and culture, you made every moment feel special and meaningful!
To the Bison team - THANK YOU for organizing such a smooth and beautifully paced trip. The itinerary had the right mix of adventure and downtime. You clearly know what you're doing, and it shows!!
This was a once in a lifetime experience for us, and you guys helped make it really special. We’ll definitely be recommending Bison to anyone thinking of doing a safari in Kenya, and Mike, you’re a legend.
Asante!!
Friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive — he made the entire journey smooth and memorable.
Our guide, Mike, was incredibly friendly, professional, and dedicated to ensuring we saw every animal we hoped for. He patiently answered all our questions and was always there to quietly support us, making us feel truly well taken care of. Thanks to his thoughtful guidance and hard work, we enjoyed a smooth and comfortable journey while witnessing the breathtaking scenes of the Great Migration. It was an unforgettable week in Africa, and we are deeply grateful for everything he did to make it so special.

One of the best tours I’ve ever joined in my lives!
We were probably like many other travellers, unsure which tour company to choose as most itineraries looked very similar. When we contacted Bison, Maggie replied quickly and professionally, and we immediately felt reassured. Unlike some operators who try to cut corners or overcharge, Bison offered us a fair and reasonable price, which gave us confidence in their honesty from the start.
As for the safari itself, it was absolutely AMAZING. Even though our group arrived in Nairobi at different times, our tour guide, Mike, went to the airport early to ensure he collected everyone. He even patiently waited while we queued for SIM cards and cash withdrawals.
Mike was truly exceptional. He is kind-hearted, thoughtful and a very skilled driver. Despite us having a lot of luggage, he tried to fit everything inside the vehicle, even giving up space for his own bag, rather than simply putting it on the roof. On the road, he navigated rough terrain safely and with great skill. Out on the game drives, his sharp eyesight helped us spot so many animals and he shared fascinating knowledge about them.
I personally enjoy buying souvenirs. Whenever we passed local vendors, Mike patiently waited and gave me plenty time to browse and negotiate. Our group even asked him twice to take us to markets for more shopping, and he fulfilled every request, making it possible for us to bring memories home.
Our group also loves photography, and Mike never rushed us. He patiently waited and even helped take wonderful group photos. His patience and kindness made our safari so much more enjoyable. Honestly, without him, the experience would not have been the same.
The animals are always there in the national parks. What really matters is the guide you have. I had a wonderful time with Bison and I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Efficient
Absolutely amazing experience! We did a 4 night 5 day safari including Masai Mara and Naivasha. Maggie and Lawrence were so helpful with planning and customizing our package before arrival and extremely quick to respond. Our guide Phillip was amazing! He made sure we saw tons of animals and that we got great photos without other cars. He answered all of our questions and made sure we had the best experience possible. I am already saving for another safari with Bison and will recommend them to anyone I know who wants to go on safari!
