6 Days Kenya safari was well planned and Executed
From planning the safari, Maggie was so helpful all the way . She even assisted us to book train tickets as they are only paid via Mpesa.
Our driver Kikitu was excellent and we got to see all big 5. We enjoyed the balloon expedition in Masaimara so much .
Accommodation was in budget units and we got to enjoy so much as they offers a safari experience. Great food, service and excellent staff. If you are looking to book a safari to Kenya please look no further as Bison Safaris will not disappoint you. Thank you Maggie and Bison Safaris team as a whole for that memorable safari.

An unforgettable stay!!!
Kibuyu organized a 7-day safari for 4 people, a week that will remain etched in my memories forever!! It was an incredible experience: visiting 3 national parks, different landscapes every day, magical moments watching majestic animals, a private guide with a sharp eye for spotting these animals and unlimited knowledge of wildlife that surrounded us, accommodations that allowed us to extend the safari even during the evenings/nights (lullened to the sound of animals, and all the animals haha), and meeting locals in the accommodations or during the visit of villages which enriches even more this trip!
If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing! When you think of all the behind-the-scenes exchanges that organizing such a trip entails, from the snacks and drinks in the geep to the welcome bottle of water in each of the accommodations where you have been, from the entrances to the different parks to the organization of all lunches in the savannah, and so on, in short, it was a perfect stay!!
Asante Sana Kibuyu!

Excelent organization of the trip
It was very nice and also driver was so friendly and helpful. He was on time everywhere and drove safely. He gave us water during the trip and also stop for lunch. We saw a lot of animals, especially before sunset.
Accomodation in Mikumi Bandas was clean and women who care of it were lovely.
The next time we will take maybe direct flight to Mikumi because the ride was so tiring for us (around 7hours) as the car was not air-conditioned. But we knew about it. We wanted to save money.
It was beautiful and stunning journey. And I recommend this company!

Timely response, humorous and friendly guide
One of the reasons why I chose Axis among other operators is because of the timely and swift response from the staff Lennox.
The package is cost effective and the accommodation at Lenchada Tourist Camp was cozy and the food was healthy. Couldn't ask for more.
Most importantly, shout out to our driver guide Solomon and Massai village guide Massai George.
They are the reasons that made this trip so unforgettable.
Solomon was humorous, responsible and proactive when looking for animals.
He always took initiative and found a great spot for us to watch the animals.
Thanks to Solomon, we got to spot the big five along with other animals on the savannah.
While Solomon broadened our perspective towards wild life, George broadened our horizon by giving us a tour in the Massai village.
He invited us to his house and showed us the lifestyles of Massai people. It was an eye-opening experience.

Excellent company with great attention to detail
I can’t thank Gosheni enough for our perfect honeymoon. Cindy was exceptional. She helped us plan our 16 day trip (northern parks, Zanzibar, and southern parks). Communication was easy and timely. Cindy even helped us add a day to our trip mid-trip!!
Gosheni excels in their attention to details, from our welcome tea, special Gosheni safari hats, our “just married” wheel covers on the truck, to the 3 course meals and wine lunches while on the safaris. I truly felt so special and on the trip of a lifetime with Gosheni. They had everything planned down to a T and we were always care for. They set-up all transportation (to/from hotels and airports), tours (StoneTown and Spice tour), and meals.
Our trip would not have been as great without Albert, our safari guide and driver. Albert was truly the best and if you have the opportunity to go on a Tanzania safari, we HIGHLY recommend requesting Albert. He was a great driver which can be difficult on the bumpy roads. He brought us to what appeared to be “secret” spots with great animal sights where we were the only car for miles. When there were multiple cars trying to view an animal, Albert somehow always got us the best viewing spot. Albert was warm and welcoming and willing to share more about the people and culture of Tanzania.

Amazing experience
Karina at Safari Bookings organised an amazing trip - I wouldn’t change anything!
We visited Sabi Sands and Timbavati game reserves and both areas were stunning . We were so amazed at how close we got to the wild animals and it was a life changing experience .
The food was also amazing and Karina made everything so seamless by organising transfers etc.
After the safari part of our trip (6 days) we also visited Johannesburg and Cape Town - Cape Town especially was beautiful.
I will be back to South Africa!

Tanzania has definitely stolen my heart. For sure I will return!
My daughter and I booked a safari through Kasaka Tours to Mikumi Park, starting from Dar. It was a great experience! The drive to the park is long and with very busy traffic but our driver Peter took so good care of us and was an excellent driver. We felt safe. The experience in the park was so incredible fantastic! It almost seemed as we were the only jeep on the stretched plains. Peter knew exactly where to go to see all these beautiful animals as the lion, elephant, hippo, giraffe, zebra, buffalos, monkeys and many impalas and so many more. The drinking pools were outstanding where all animals gathered at sunset. Our stay in Camp Bastian was like a fairytale. Beautiful. We also did the hike in Unzwanga National Park to Tanzania’s highest waterfall. A lovely hike up hill, but really good to do in the shadow of the immense trees. Nice guides who carried our lunch

Wild Planet Safari guide was Ryan, who was the most informative, knowledgeable, friendly person.
This was our first safari, and we went with no expectations. But if we had any, then they surely would have been exceeded ! Four of us booked the 11 day safari from north to south Kruger. We stayed at different camps during our trip. Ryan and Josh were the best ! Cooking our meals and clearing up afterwards ! They both worked so hard to make our safari one of the best things we have ever done ! Ryan’s knowledge of the animals and birds, and also the different areas that we travelled through, was amazing ! The four of us learnt so much and it is no exaggeration to say that we saw just about every animal species possible during our 11 days, from a roaring male lion (right next to the safari vehicle !), to a baby giraffe, just a few hours old and struggling to stand ! If we were to ever return to do another safari, then Wild Planet would be our first choice. We had the best time, and really cannot put into words how beyond amazing the whole experience was ! Thank you Ryan, for a truly perfect experience ! We are still watching our videos and looking at some wonderful photos, which I don’t think we will ever tire from looking at ! With regard to the cost of the safari, we think it was exceptional value for money. It was just us four, and included just about all of our meals, all the camps, and we also included a night drive, overnight in a hide, and a bush walk. And the personal touch was great, from collecting us at Johannesburg airport, to taking us back there at the end of our safari. All included in the price. Thank you Wild Planet !
