Exceeded expectations
We did 5 day masai mara & nakuru & naivasha tour. We started with masai mara which was spectacular and the most incredible part of the tour. We couldn't spot a leopard and rhino there but we could see all the other wildlife in two days. Every animal was abundant. Nakuru was very nice too. It is a great place to see rhinos. Naivasha is mild safari tour with great excursions including water and bike safari. Overall it was a great experience, but our first driver Jack was a silent guy who doesn't communicate with their guests and doesn't explain about the tour much. This was disappointing and leaves you with an uneasy feeling. He was mostly just driving and answering our questions with small words. Our second driver John was an incredible guy who was very helpful.

Excellent country for holidaying. Beautiful scenic and so natural wildlife to bring every excitement to your holiday. Weather is so nice to make your trip even more enjoyable. Transport vehicles are comfortable for roughest of roads with fully experienced drivers to guide to your personalised tours.

Epic moments in life
Kenya has a wide variety of wild animals. I managed to see all the big five except for Leopard which is a shy and rare animal to see.
Beauty was especially in Lk Nakuru National park, Lk Naivasha , I managed to watch wonders of Amboseli as well as Maasai maara and the weather was good 16-29 degrees depending on places and also time of the day. I lastly visited Mombasa and the Indian ocean looks very beautiful. The food is served fresh n delicious... From Naivasha Tilapia was so fresh n delicious. My safari was great...No problems with transport for Bluerange Connect LTD took exellent care of my transport.

Amazing wildlife and cultural trip
Amazing wildlife, with very beautiful landscapes. Warm people and superb culture. Only one tip: do not count your transfer times according to any distance (6-7 hours are usually needed for traveling less than 200km).

It was a phenomenal experience, exceeding all expectations.
Planning /communication with the tour company was extremely helpful, allowing us to plan ahead. Being met at the airport, domestic flight arrangements, lodges and hotels were great. Staff were very helpful in accommodating us regarding location of rooms and electricity through the night. Everything was clean and we had some lovely views. The safari outings were fantastic, thanks primarily to our guide, Moses ( a common name we know). He knew the territory, had a phenomenal ability to put us in the right place at the right time to get the best views of the wildlife, and kept a book handy to help with all our questions about both flora and fauna. Loved every minute of the trip and would recommend this company to all!

Fantastic experience. wildlife. food and scenery
We really enjoyed and the experience we cannot express in words. Watching the wild animals in their natural habitat was an experience. Weather was nice, food was great, all the accommodations exceeded our expectations especially Tsavo west. The water hole behind our lodge,in Kiluguani lodge, was busy whole night and we did not feel like to go to bed. In Masai Mara, Osero Camp, was inside the park and during night we could hear the killing and the struggle and the fights. Our tour guide Paul, Tukio safaris, was awesome. He took all the troubles to show us all "big five". we were very fortunate to see all only because of Paul. Only regrets is we couldn't see the river crossing.

Amazing once in a lifetime adventure!
I cannot say enough good words about Starluck Safaris, the operator James or our guide Kennedy. They are top notched and provided an amazing safari on short notice with excellent accomodations at a fair price.
Let me start with a little background. We originally booked with "Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris (KWSS)" in August 2018 for a safari to begin August 22, 2019. Exactly two weeks before our safari, KWSS sent an email saying they were no longer able to provide our requested service. Needless to say we were shocked and angry, and our confidence in booking on line shattered.
This was to be THE trip of our lifetimes, long saved for.
After deliberations we looked for another operator who could fit us in on short notice and conform to our prearranged flights.
It was such that we had the very good fortune to find Starluck!
Not only could Starluck fit us in on our original schedule, they were able to provide a customized 10-day safari superior to what we had originally booked.
Given our previous scam we were nervous until we met James in the lobby of our hotel and he gave us a copy of the agreed upon itinerary, our lodge vouchers, and an explanation on how it would all unfold.
We met our driver/guide Kennedy the next morning and left for what would be an absolutely wonderful and amazing experience. We visited Amboseli, Aberdare, Simburu, Lake Nakuru and Masa Mara parks and preserves.
The accommodations were first rate and exceeded our expectations. The rooms were comfortable and the food excellent with much variety to choose from.
Kennedy was a superstar! He not only safely negotiated the chaotic and hectic Kenyan traffic and subpar roads with skill, he was very personable, friendly and courteous, and we learned much about Kenya and its cultures as we traveled.
Kennedy was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and ardently found the wildlife even the harder ones to find such as leopards.
Starluck, James and Kennedy saved our dream trip of our lifetimes and we are deeply indebted to them.

Amazing!!
I visited to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. The trip was amazing.
I could see big 5 in one day!!
Animals with sunset and sunrise were beautiful and our guide, Sammy and all of staffs were very nice and friendly.
My flight was delayed and I couldn’t transit to next flight and I had to stay overnight at China, so my arrival date at Nairobi was delayed one day, but my tour company re-arranged my plan.
I really appreciate it.
I recommend Kenya game drive for sure.

Fabulous is what I can say, Maasai Mara is.
One of the best countries for wildlife viewing. The sheer expanse of Maasai Mara is breathtaking. The number of animals is simply mind numbing

Wonderful wildlife experience
We spent 7 days on tour to several parks, all managed by Baboon Budget Safari. Our journey started few months before when booking and discussing the details with provider - all clear and simple, they were even able to buy us extra train tickets for next travel etc (thanks Susan!). The real start was from Nairobi where our driver Anthony picked us up at hotel and we continued with 6 other guys, together we made a great group and enjoyed a lot of fun. Our path was through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli, all of them were very exciting and strongly variable from flora and also fauna point of view. Anthony was a great driver with strong passion for his work - skilled in all aspects from crazy driving to spotting the smallest birds and also very friendly to all our requirements and silly questions.
We enjoyed pretty much everything of this route even though not all is easy - you have to expect waking up very early, eating simple meals, spending most of your day in a van and staying in simple tents where you hear wildness roaring all night. But once you take all of these "struggles" as a starting point for a breathtaking experience (as we did) you will love it all.
