Legend
This was hands down the most magical experience on earth. Been to 88 countries travel very regularly and this place is hands down one of the top experiences I and my family have had. I don’t think it would have even been close to as great of an experience if it was not for Lion King and our guide Macha. This guy new the park and people so well, that we were never in short supply of wild life. To see the big 5 is a challenge for any guide but we saw the big 5 and every animal on our own list in the first half of the trip. This would not have been possible with out the cunning eye and park knowledge of Macha. This man is a legend and if you have a dream of seeing Africa he is the person to make it happen. If I can help or answer any questions or you just want to see pics from the trip inta @mybucketlistfamily thank you lion king team and Macha for an amazing experience..

Good professional performance and customer service
The Tour operator was friendly and he work throughout maintaing his profession, He seems to be quite experienced and the tour was more fun because he got us to spot different sites, animals and historical places in an adventureous way.
This was the most fun tour I ever had and if I were to do it again I would definetly choose Red and Yellow Barbet Safaris.

Easy and high quality
Booked quite last minute and the communication from Roselyn was fab from the beginning. Everything was taken care of and changes we requested were responded to quickly and efficiently.
Safari was fantastic. Saw 4 out of the big 5. Good driver and nice experience. Hotel was good too.
Highly recommend!

Amazing and Safe Trek to the Summit
This was the most incredible trip. Our guide, Imma, was incredibly knowledgeable about the mountain and got us to the summit safely. The entire crew paid so much attention to detail of any of our concerns. We were surprised many times by something as simple as getting spaghetti for breakfast when I had mentioned it once on the trail because I wasn’t feeling up to eating anything else. I felt so cared for and safe this entire trip, I would not recommend anything but them

Great experience with great team
Great experience from arrival to departure. The communication around the trip preparation was very swift and clear. Welcome drinks with cookies at JRO airport, transfer to the hotel and complete briefing with Hellen were perfect. Off to a 3-days safari early morning (Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and lake Manyara) with Rahim (good driver, very kind, respectful, big knowledge about fauna and flora) and Mactilda (first female guide as trainee, very kind, respectful, great knowledge about wildlife). They enabled us to see so many animals; both were very good spotters and always searching for the best places to see the animals, but with great respect for them however as well as for the nature around us. They took great care of us, serving nice cooked lunches at midday, making drinks, coffee and tea available at any time. We felt very comfortable and had some good laughs. Saying good bye to them was rather sad, but we were so happy about this unforgettable experience.
The chosen Lodge during the safari (Pamoja, Karatu) was a truly nice surprise; big bungalows in a beautiful garden, pool, caring staff.
We will definitely arrange another trip with LOMO in the future and would definitely warmly recommend the whole LOMO team to anyone who wants to live a wonderful experience in this region.
Another aspect of LOMO we appreciated was the idea behind it : Less for Ourselves More for Others = there is a foundation that helps Tanzanian people in need. A part of your money supports this which is quite motivating.
Thank you again!

Awesome experience with Bison safari.
We (family of 3) planned for our Kenya trip via Bison safari. Overall we had awesome experience. We really enjoyed the whole trip - 2 night Masai Mara, 1 night Nakuru, 2 night Amboseli. Will highly recommend Bison safari to anyone looking for budget safari.

Very professional and helpful from the first contact all the way through the safari experience
The bottom line: highly recommended company - Stacey brilliant, reliable, quick to reply and finding solutions for requirements;
Zack, our guide: very experienced - amazing at spotting wild life whilst negotiating at times tricky driving conditions, always happy to go the extra mile, very patient with and kind to my teenage boys! He is very knowledgeable, flexible and super company. He made us feel very safe, secure, extremely well looked after and even looked with us for a place in Nairobi to get some great coffee to take home. Nothing too difficult or too much for him.
We went the week before Christmas and came back New Year's Eve. Before Christmas, we were picked up at the airport in Nairobi, went to Ol Pajeta and then to Lake Nakuru. Both destinations had great wild life and Zack was just happy to spent as much time as we wanted on game drives. I was impressed by the good relationships the guides from different companies have in terms of sharing information on sightings of animals and it gave a real nice feel of NOT competition, but the desire to make the experience really great for us and also demonstrated the passion of Zack for the job and him enjoying the wildlife, landscapes, the country really. It's lovely to be in the company of someone who clearly enjoys sharing his amazing country.
Gametrackers then had made it possible for us to spent 2.5days over Christmas with our friends in Molo. Zack took as there and picked us up and even during our stay in Molo made sure we were ok and didn't need anything else.
After Christmas we had a brief overnight stop in Naivasha - did a boat safari for the hippos. Didn't go to Hell's gate as a) gorge was still closed after the incident of flash flooding a few yrs ago and it was also raining. The next day we went on to go to the Masai Mara which was truly spectacular. Again, Zack spent plenty of time to do game drives with us, even went into Tanzania and made great effort (and showed amazing driving skills in mud without getting stuck unlike several other vehicles) for us to see any animal he could spot far away or close by.
A brilliant experience, feeling safe and well looked after.
We all got on fantastically with Zack as he is so approachable. Would always go with Gametrackers again and of course ask for Zack to be our guide!
Fantastic country, great company

Exactly the right guy for this Job
It was great, and totally worth the money. We got picked up at the airport, got fresh cooked meals everyday on safari, got the best safariguide who knew everything we asked about wildlife.

Very friendly, competent, hakuna matata with an eagles eye for finding animals
We felt always safe and secure. Pickup from the airport and transfer to was perfect. The guide (Gilbert) simply knows everything about the parks and the animals. Especially also about all sorts of birds. He loves his job and he is committed to preserving the beautiful nature of Tanzania. Obed and Gilbert also helped us with any special needs we had. For us this was the very first safari, but they helped us to overcome any fears we had. The jeep is a grand old lady, but perfect for safari. We enjoyed standing in the car, under the hood, safe from the sun, feeling the light breeze and watching for animals. The lodges we stayed in were spatious. beautiful, clean, served good food and helped us relax and prepare for the next day's adventures. We totally recommend!
