Excellent drivers; incredible trip
I had an absolutely amazing trip, where I saw lots of animals, incredible sunsets/landscapes, and met great people.
What made the trip even more amazing was my driver Salim/Simon. He was full of jokes, always happy, and incredible at finding animals. He adopted the itinerary to my taste and even offered hilarious extra's such as a local experience of eating ugali at a roadside cafe :') Spending 7 days with someone non-stop is a large commitment and Salim made it easy and fun; I would highly recommend any trip with Salim. I also had a chance to spend a day with Ziggy, who is great as well.
Only caveat for safaris in general: you should be very specific with your lodge/camp selection. Make sure to check the accommodation websites and to make sure you like the suggested properties, if not, ask for alternative suggestions that match your expectations. When you spend so much money on a trip, you want to make sure you are happy with all aspects of the trip :)

Amazing and wonderful .
Heading ' Truely a Wonderful and Fantastic '
Shammah Wonders are real doing wonders! From day one, since we ware communicating with Justine, the owner of the company, he was real committed and intact to answer all our querie. He assisted even booking for our rest place before tour day.
The tour to Mikumi was very greaty and fullfilled our dreams. The team was very organised, pactual and professional. The Guide was very charming and he did all efforts to make sure we saw any animal possible. We recommend it highly.

Spectacular and fabulous experience, espacially thé Tanzanie part with our guide Peter Damasi Mimja
I appreciate all the experience, the guides (Peter on Tanzania part especially), the animals, lodges and services, transport, the amazing nature and the beautifull landscape.
The lunch were so so... chicken all days, in the sun in the jeep during 4-5 hours ! The Explorer Nature Mara Lodge was the worst lodge (no hot shower, broken bed, not enough food...). I appreciate to be upgrade twice, it was nice places (with pool and really good food), thank !

Good budget option if you're short on time
Communication from the team was good both prior to and during the trip.
The schedule was kept to, and was made flexible by our driver who gave us options whilst on the tour.
The animals were great, and our driver did an excellent job of locating the best game and giving us amazing views.
We were a bit disappointed to see the driver littering whilst driving on the highway (not in the park). Being part of the "Ecotourism" group, I would have expected all staff to uphold higher standards on this subject.

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!

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!

Excellent start, medium finish
We started our safari at excellent pace; there were elephants, antelope, giraffe, cheetah, lions, baboons, zebra, buffalo, guinea fowl and many more, just within the first two hour tour! The second and third day were just as interesting, and we also saw a leopard up a tree. Our fourth day at Lake Nakuru was cut short at 11am, and although we got to see some white rhino in the morning, we were stuck in a pretty poor hotel all day, with nothing to do.
The accommodation and food were excellent, apart from the last accommodation at Lake Naivasha. Our towels weren't clean, bathroom door didn't close, mattress sank and our door locks were the same as our neighbours. They should seriously reconsider this accommodation, as it greatly affected the experience. There are plenty of wildlife at Nakuru and we'd much rather have stayed longer to see more of it.
The Masai village tour is interesting, but the men in the village are clearly bored of entertaining tourists every single morning.
James, our guide was very energetic for most of the journey and a very friendly guy. He was very knowledgeable and managed to find plenty of animals for us to see on our journey. We saw the 'Big 5', plus many more. He's an excellent driver and we always felt safe in his care.
Overall, we would definitely recommend this tour. It is very good value for money, but I would probably choose a four-day, rather than a five-day tour, next time.

The tour guides are very helpfull and awesome
Before embarking on this dream safari, all the information and organisation had been extremely good and this was reflected in the actual trip where everything went so smoothly and we could not fault it. The tour guides were very helpful and efficient in their trade.
Thanks so much Felix for interpreting our requirements so well and ensuring that the places we went fulfilled all our ambitions for the trip.k
