PERFECTLY ARRANGED
We booked a 4 day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari with BCL. Everything was perfectly arranged, we managed to see all the big 5 in a record time, the guide was fantastic, food was excellent. We highly recommend them to any tourist who would want to have an amazing experience.

Good for programing the trip, disorganized during the stay
We did the 9 days from SAMBURU to AMBOSELI via Masai Mara etc. Good value for money.
During the planning, the manager was very available, very responsive, very attentive. The pre-COVID deposit could be reused two years later...remarkable.
Then, it's more complicated... When we arrived around 11:00 p.m., we already had to pay the balance (normally expected at the office the next day). We paid cash in $, but the series were not homogeneous and they applied a discount... ($20, not huge, but for the principle...)
The accommodations are very heterogeneous. Some hotels were clearly not up to standard. NOT RELIABLE. Especially for the 2 nights on NAIVASHA where we even asked to change hotels (rejected...) We had paid fortunately for an upgrade to the MASAI MARA...
The game drives were fabulous, the guide remarkable! always looking for the best places for photos, etc. Always trying to fix the situations (error in booking hotels, excursions, etc.) He is for a lot in this trip. He constantly had to juggle between the program that BLUERANGE gave him and the one that BLUERANGE gave us... not easy... Until the last day, which ruined our feeling... lunch had to be included (written in our program) and in the end, we were left at Nairobi airport with 5$/p for lunch... very limited as we never discussed the prices.
We still have all the good memories given by Kenya: we were able to see all the animals; each park is different; we did the magic balloon ride in masai mara etc.
Therefore an advice: check the accommodation carefully, and give your program to the guide from the start, making him check each step.

BCL organised a memorable life time experience for 6 days in Masai Mara, lake Nakur, Diani beach
The organisation and the exclusion of our 6-day epic experience were brilliant from the office and the skilled driver and guide. Their communication through email and WhatsApp allowed us to easily modify and upgrade our accommodation and flights. I would highly recommended this company for unforgettable experience in Masai Mara, Kenyan lakes and the Indian Ocean beach.

Amazing adventure with great support
Through Bluerange Connect we went on a 9 day safari in Kenya visiting several games parks and lakes: Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naiwasha, Masai Mara and Amboseli. Between all the parks and lakes we easily saw the big five along with many other amazing animals and landscapes. Timing to visit the Masai Mara proved perfect as many animals had migrated north from the Serengeti onto the Masai Mara. The difference in the landscapes between all the places were incredibly to see... from the dessert of Samburu, to the savannah of the Masai Mara, to the swamps of Amboseli - the beauty of Kenya will remain in our memory. And our driver Ibrahim was knowledgeable about both animals and Kenya in general and happily shared his knowledge. We stayed a a wide range of accommodations from more luxurious game lodges to smaller local hotels, which from our perspective made the whole experience more complete and well rounded. At all times Mr. Owen Willis from Bluerange Connect was within reach by WhatsApp should three be an issue. For example we had a minor medical issue and Mr Willison was within reach on whatsapp and helped resolve all issues quickly and get us help. I would happily book another adventure in Kenya or Tanzania through Bluerange Connect.

Outstanding company!!
It was a Fantastic Safari, visited on August 5, 2022.
We had a 12 Days/11 Nights Safari with Bluerange Connect Limited. We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Tsavo West and East. Our guide Emmanuel Muniafu was amazing! His knowledge, eye sight, instinct, driving abilities was outstanding!! We couldn’t asked for anyone better. We got to see more animals up close then we could ever imagine! We saw the Big 5 or 10 and many other types of animals, many times over! It was truly a trip of a lifetime!! Bluerange Connect hit it out of the park!!!

Perfect safari
It started with a good contact. No problem to change the itinerary or to change hotels or lodges. All our questions were answered very quick by Willis.
We did a 2 week tour (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Abardare, Mount Kenya, Samburu, Amboseli, Tsavo West).
Everything was well organized (airport pick up/drop off, good car,...) but gave our trip an extra dimension.
Manu was always in a good mood, his knowledge about the country and its animals is outstanding, he's a very safe driver which is very important.
Don't hesitate and contact Willis for your safari....

Excellent tour with friendly and knowledgable staff
My sister and I enjoyed an excellent 7 day safari with Bluerange Connect Limited around Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Navaisha and Amboseli. Our guide, Eric, was knowledgable, friendly and looked after us well. The tented camps are excellent for those travelling on a budget but are keen for an adventure. We had campfires, buffet meals and the staff got involved with some African dancing and evening games. Timings were punctual and we had the opportunity to go on a boat ride at Navaisha, a cycle at Hell’s gate and we visited a Masai village. I would highly recommend Bluerange Connect Limited.

Well organized and knowledable.
Combined 10 day Tanzania & Kenya Safari. And we loved it and fell in love with Africa! We saw the Big Five, liked the food and it was good value for money. But of course it is budget safari, so don’t expect 5 star hotels etc.

It was almost everything that I dreamt it would be.
With the exception of one hiccup where the original pickup driver didn’t know where to meet the tour, it was an exceptional trip! Edward is a fantastic tour guide & knew where to go to find the animals that we wanted to see. We saw all of the Big 5 & were even lucky enough to see a black rhino in Lake Nakuru. The tour company even made an extra accommodation for us where we brought supplies to a school in Amboseli, which was an absolute treat. We will definitely book again with them!
