a wonderful trip
The 8 days safari was a wonderful trip for me and my wife. We have seen almost every possible animal and learned a lot about the african grassland and the local people. The trip is better than our expectation.
Bluerange kept their promises and offered all the necessary services. For this price is the service and organisation great. Our first driver and guide Gibson is the best, our second driver and guide Ken is also nice and responsible.
My advice is, give some tips for the services you recieved, especially for the driver and guide. It's worth it.

Great guide/driver and good experience
We had a 11 days safari tour in Kenya and Tanzania with Bluerange Connected Limited and it was a great experience overall. We have visited Amboseli, Nakuru, Naivasha and Masai Mara. Thanks to our guide Jackton whom we can recommend completely, we have seen plenty of different animals, including lions during their honeymoon and even a unique newborn zebra in Masai Mara. Jackton was very experienced and on the same way very passionate about his job, he made our journey look like a hunting with surprises and rewards. We caught the great migration of wildebeests as one of them. At the end of Kenyan part our guide helped us to pass the border and we have started our tour with another (Tanzanian) company. Our transfer between 2 companies and countries passed smoothly.
Many thanks to Bluerange Connected Limited!

14 days of safari to Kenya and Tanzania
We have hired a 14-day safari through Kenya and Tanzania (Naivasha, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Amboseli)
They were able to organize our trip in 15 days and be attentive to our orders.
During the travel days there were certain inconveniences that at the end of the safari were recognized.
We appreciate the predisposition and your attention!

Overall, it was a good safari experience!
We had a 7-day journey in Kenya, including 6 days on a safari tour.
First, let me share why we'd chosen Bluerange Connect Limited as our safari tour operator. After we had been victims of Mr. Otieno's fraud (Kenya Walking Survivors Safari company), we were looking for a reliable tour operator. It was our priority. At that time, Bluerange Connect Limited had a private tour we could afford since we decided to have a private tour vs a group tour. Plus, they could make adjustments to our itinerary and the price negotiations went smoothly and fairly. Secondly, Willis (the founder, I guess) responses were clear and in a professional way. Thirdly, it's easy to check the company's background. They combine safari tours with logistics which gives you the idea that the company has another source of revenue. If reliability and safety is your priority, IMO I think they're a very good choice.
Our first 3 days had lots of fulfillment in terms of sightseeing and game drives and it was full-day itinerary (until the dinner time: 5-6 pm). The rest of safari days were just ‘half days’; everything was over around 2 pm. Most of the times, we just stayed in our hotel. I suggest everyone who’s traveling to Kenya to confirm the details about every single day of their itinerary including the time when their drivers are off. That way at least you’ll know that you’d have to spend your whole afternoon in a camp, hotel or somewhere in a nearby town (which is better to do accompanied by a hotel employee.)
On the very first days, I’d noticed some contradictions between what the itinerary price included and for what we actually had to pay. For example, on the first day, we had a city tour and the itinerary price included all three meals; breakfast, lunch, and dinner but we paid for those ourselves. Also, according to our itinerary, on the second day, the visit to Masai Mara village was included in the overall price of the tour and I took a screenshot of that fact in order to inform the office about that. We got a phone call with apologies about the confusion but we had to pay for the visit ourselves. I suggest anyone who’s going to have a safari tour confirm this kind of payments with tour operators beforehand. And for tour operators, they should put more effort to avoid this kind of contradictions as it doesn't give an impression of professionalism.
On our fourth day, we’d suddenly learned from our driver-guide that they were changing him and the vehicle. He said that the company scheduled the vehicle inspection for tomorrow so he had to go back to Nairobi. We found that weird because that meant that the company didn’t know he was on the safari with us? And so we asked this question and he couldn’t explain anything as he was a freelance driver-guide. We were quite upset because
not only the guide was changed but also the hatch top van was gone which meant we could not do proper drive games. The office neither informed us in person; nor they brought any apologies. So I’d suggest safari travelers to avoid this kind of situation by making sure that the company you’re traveling with.
As our new driver-guide arrived we asked him if he had water for us. He said he didn’t have any water for us as the office didn’t wire money yet but they were going to do so. When we asked when (because we were thirsty and the water in the hotel was sold like 4 times more expensive) we were told to go to our room and wait for it. As we thought the water would arrive in several hours or so we decided not to walk to the town to buy some in a supermarket. We were waiting and waiting until dinner when we saw our driver-guide who told us that he didn’t buy water because the office didn’t wire him money yet. So we had to buy our water from the hotel as it was already late to walk to the town. This is one more perfect example of bad organizing and service.
On a positive note, overall, it was an unforgettable experience as a safari traveler. I hope my review is useful somehow. Thanks for reading it. Cheers!

Amazing Safari Experience!
The trip was well organized and Silas was very helpful pre-trip. We were also assigned the best driver and tour guide, Mansoor. He made sure that we saw the Big 5 and experience the best that Kenya has to offer. The only comment I have is that food selection at the places where we had our meals for the duration of the trip could be improved. Overall, my husband and I had an amazing experience. Thank you, Bluerange!

Great Safari with an Amazing Driver/Guide
My wife and I just took the private 9 day safari hitting Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Naivasha, and Amboseli. Our driver Ken made the trip smooth, safe and fun. I would 100% recommend Bluerange Connect (and Ken) to any friends or family. If we return, we will definitely be booking with them again.

Great experience, did a safari and beach vacation was awesome!
This was a great experience. We did a 5 day safari and 3 days on the beach. Bluerange was very helpful and flexible, and allowed us to change some plans to stay longer at the beach. I would highly recommend this tour operator
