It was a wonderfull experience!
My husband, friend and I have just returned home from a three week holiday in Kenya and Uganda. It was amazing experience and we could see so much animals. All the lodges was nice. A big thank to Mr. Otieno and very very big thank to our driver-guide Mooses, who made the best for us.

New to the bush - choose Chobe Safari Lodge!
I'm a native Expat who was born and grew up in Botswana. Having left 20-years ago I was finally able to take my new family with me tonAfrica all the way from USA! Chobe Safari Lodge is a great spot to use as a base if you want to visit Moremi, Okavango, Vic Falls etc. The game drives are spectacular and don't forget the unbelievabe sunset river cruise! The staff is VERY professional and pleasant. I left my laptop at the hotel and they were able to find it, track me down and get it back to me with no issues at all (try that in a hotel in the USA...). Food is good, rooms are very comfortable and safari stylish. My kids loved waking up to watch the monkeys. A must stay!0

Best Trip Ever!
We are a group of two moms and our three daughters, all animal lovers, who had been talking about this trip for years and finally decided to stop talking and do it and we are very glad we did, especially with Blue Crane and Derek.
There was a lot of back and forth with Blue Crane during our planning stages and they were very patient with all our requests, even when we decided to completely reverse the original itinerary. (Most of this was because we each had a daughter with serious motion sickness and we were trying to eliminate long drives).
Once we arrived in Namibia, Derek had arranged everything perfectly. The lodges we stayed in were way beyond what we had imagined and we can't stop talking about the food. None of us had ever eaten that much game before and we loved it. He even made sure our favourite beverages were in a cooler in the vehicle each day. Derek did an amazing job of dealing with two generations of crazy ladies.
The best parts though were the number and diversity of the animals we saw on our game drives. And the information about the animals Derek was able to give us. We were lucky enough to see everything from giraffes to warthogs and oryx to elephants and lions, and even the desert elephants and lions. No leopards though, so we will have to come back and will certainly book with Blue Crane Safaris. Thanks a million Derek helping us make memories with our girls that will last a lifetime.

Blue Crane Safaris Namibia surpassed our extremely high expectations.
We were a group of 5 women, mothers and daughters and there are not enough words to describe how amazing this safari was. Every single detail was met, timing and pickups were perfect, tour arrangements and lodging was outstanding, and Derek, our guide, was amazing. His knowledge and obvious pride in Namibia was evident, and he explained everything we asked of him, describing history, geology, people, and of course the animals, in great detail. We saw all the animals and much more, from early morning game drives to night drives. The country is large and we would love to go back and see the areas that we didn't have time for, there is no doubt that we will use Blue Crane Safaris again!

3 day masai mara
Safari was good but had unexpected and unexplained cost of visit to Masai village. Our guide was knowledgeable but a bit disinterested. Note that vehicle was not 4wd, and got bogged on rough roads in as was during the wet season.

Best trip ever
It was so easy and stressless to plan our Safari with Godfrey and his Team. Everything was as we planned it. No it was even better.

Not exactly roughing it
Worked with Nadine to put together the exact trip we were looking for. I had many questions and she answered them all. I had a lot of input since we had been on African safaris before and wanted something different. She guided me towards okavango delta which was beautiful, breathtaking and very interesting. It is unlike any place you will ever go. Nadine explained each camp in detail and helped me select three wonderful camps with amenities we were looking for. All met or exceeded our expectations.
At first I was concerned about dealing with this company but they came through with every request and provided a trip of a lifetime.

A much anticipated trip of a lifetime that exceeded all expectations
As two women in our fifties it had been a lifelong dream to travel to Africa. we choose Transtrek from safari bookings and from the first quote to our eventual departure the service was great.
Daniel Francis took our wish list and made it reality. we wanted to see as many different habitats on a two week safari. thanks to Daniel our trip was just what we had ordered a private tour that was planned around our needs on a daily basis. we felt very pampered
Our guide Peter pick us up from the Airport and was was with us on our safari which took us from Amboselli to Tsavo west and East and from lake Nakuru, Lake Navaisha to the Masai Mara.
I can only say that Peter was brilliant he was extremely knowledgeable and took pride and pleasure in showing us his beautiful country. we saw the big five and everything else which included lions in abundance - loved it thank you Peter for making this holiday very special
we stayed in a mixture of lodges and tented camps all of which provided excellent service and had views that were breathtaking. Highights for me were epiya Chepeau in Tsavo East , Sanctuary Farm in Lake Naviaisha.
and the Sopa lodge in Lake Nakuru which must have some of the best views in Kenya
I had always dreamed of visited Africa. I still do but this time the memories of a fabulous trip are with me
Thank you Daniel and your family for making us feel very welcome on our first night and for the fond fare well when we left.
i would defiantly recommend this company and look forward to travelling with transtrek in the future
