Very professional, very caring.
Thirty four adults arrived from Canada to begin a twelve day safari, the majority of us, our first. Bushland met us at the airport and from that point until we were dropped back off at the airport to go home, we were in the best of hands. Didimus and his five drivers not only showed us all the animals we would ever want to see in Africa, but also educated us on their behaviours. The drives were wonderful and at all times of day to see the different behaviour of the animals.
I never imagined I would be in a lodge in Africa, listening to lions roar at night, hyenas cackle, yet feel safe!! We had a lot of laughs as a group and got to know one another. Many hours before and after dinners exchanging stories over a beverage.
People ask what my favourite animal was, but it is hard to compare. I would say the question should be what was your best sighting of the day, as each day brought something new.
Thank you so much to Bushlands for a wonderful experience.

Living your dream in 3 days in Tanzania
I SIMPLY LOVED EVERY BIT of this new family we bonded with. Damien, our guide was A MA ZING. The most considerate, humble, safe to the bone and wonderful guide ever. He explained every bit of the way, he kept us safe ALL THE TIME, he drove in swamps, mud, rains, ever imaginable condition. Despite the rain or heavy roads, he managed to show us the most amazing time. I wish I had bought 5 days only to stay with him and my time. I really had tears in my eyes at the end. On the other end, Lucas, the cook, was one of a kind. The food was exquisite, warm, on time and punctual. He set the table humbly, offered us a brief presentation of the traditional dishes. He was verg kind and polite. All in all, I am able to say that this was by far THE BEST SAFARI I have ever been in (We have been in Kenya before 3 days) and not onlye the landscapes and game drive and variety of beauty and nature made this small vacation a wonder, but also these guys : I bow down in respect for such wonderful kind human beings, Damien and Lucas

Reliable and good tour operator
We took part in a 3-day Masai Mara Safari and a 1-day Amboseli Safari. I am happy to recommend it. Before the program, they answered all my questions by email with a very short deadline. The safari was fantastic, we saw lots of animals. Our guide was kind and always made sure we saw all the animals possible. It was a fantastic experience.

Very organized, and reliable!
We had the best time with Jocky Tours doing the 4-day Masai Mara + Lake Nakuru Safari. From the beginning, they were very good at communication. They picked us up from our accommodation, and let us keep our luggage in their office. Our tour guide/driver named Peter was amazing! He was our driver for 4 days, and he did his best to show us the Big 5 animals, and we did! He was also very knowledgeable and knew many things about the animals and Masai Mara. Our trip was very smooth and easy because of Peter. The accommodation for the budget option wasn't too bad as well. We stayed in a glamping style tent for the first 2 nights, and in a hotel for the third night. All the accommodation had everything you needed. Throughout the 4 days, they also fed us really well with buffet style meals with good food options. At the end of the 4 day trip, we also got dropped off to our accommodation with all our luggage that was left in their office. Everything was really organized so well! We highly recommend booking with Jocky Tours, and if you're lucky, you will have Peter as your guide!

Absolutely excellent
Megusto was the best guide I have ever traveled with. ( I have been in the industry for 40years)
Each day was detailed of where we were going on a map. The night before Megusto would mention what activities we were doing and then what the temperature would be and what we would need for the next day. When there was a sighting of say a herd of elephants then he would move the bus so all members of the bus (7 seater)could see easily not just those in the front. Each room was check by Megusto each night to make sure everything worked.
As for the tour it was excellent saw so much more than expected. I do a lot of research before I choose a company and Blue Crane was the best for places visited, time travelling in the bus, and value for money. Namibia has such a diverse range of scenery and wildlife it is a special country. The standard of accommodation exceeded my expectations. We stayed at the Gondwana chain which were excellent something special about each one. The food that was included was also excellent, we even dined in a beautiful seafood restaurant by the pier one night in Swakopmund. The tour far exceeded my expectations.

Excellent!
Neema took care of everything from the safari to accommodation to airport transfer. She was easy to get in touch with via Whatsapp and replied quickly. She came to meet us in person as well which was lovely. We had the best time and we cannot thank Neema enough. We would highly recommend her!

My guide was very friendly and knowledgable.
I had a great time seeing Masai Mara. I met the local Masai tribe and spent a day on a game drive. My guide was excellent and knowledgeable about the local wildlife and the region's history. We found two prides of lions, giraffes, cheetahs, grazing species, elephants, and many more. Seeing these animals in their habitat was terrific, and the landscape was astonishingly beautiful. We drove in from Nairobi, which was pretty interesting because I could see how the locals live and some of the sights along the way. If you like camping and exploring the wilderness, this adventure will be unlike anything you've done before. This was my first safari, and I plan to return one day with my family. The value of this trip is incredible.
I came to Kenya with very short notice due to business travel conflicts, and the safari organizers were incredibly accommodating of my last-minute plans. I was able to schedule this safari with only a week of notice, and the experience has been outstanding.
I encourage everyone to experience this at least once. Its unlike anything I've done before. Amazing.
