A fun and interesting tour of Madagascar
A fun 8 days touring Madagascar. The tour guide MJ was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The guide communicated well and he and the driver were reliable throughout the trip. The company adapted the tour to suit my friend and I and listened to and reacted to feedback from us. The hotels were of good quality and we experienced and learnt many interesting things about Madagascar.

good price-performance ratio
I did A 6 day (Masai Mara - Lake Nakuru - Amboseli) Safari with this company.
I would like to focus on four points: the communication and planning beforehand, the safari, the guide and the accommodation and food.
1. communication and planning:
Communication with the company is only via email. This makes the exchange somewhat cumbersome. For example, I had to wait 1 hour for my pick-up on the first day and could not reach the company. The payment processes are also a bit cumbersome. This part of the Safari was not ideal.
2. the safari
The safari route can be done with different companies. Bluerange is a low-cost company. That's why you don't have a jeep, for example, but a van. This is a little less comfortable. On the whole, however, the experience is the same. We saw a lot of animals in the Masai Mara Park and at Lake Nakuru. It was great. Amboseli Park was a bit disappointing for me as we unfortunately couldn't see Kilimanjaro. But a lot of things happen by chance and you can be lucky or unlucky. Our group was a mixture of different safari providers. This means that Bluerange is merely an intermediary company. As the three national parks are relatively far apart, you do a lot of driving in the Car. After 6 days it was more than enough for me. (4 days would have been enough for me). There were two small changes to the initial safari intinerary we were given: 1. We didn't go back to Nakuru National Park on day 4, but went on a boat safari on Lake Naivasha. This was very worthwhile but cost an additional 20 USD. 2. on the 5th day we did not go to Amboseli Park in the morning, but did a morning walk. This also costs 10 USD. But it is optional.
My personal recommendation is also not to visit the Masai village on day 3. I found it quite unpleasant and everyone there wants to sell something.
3. the guide
Our guide/driver knew his way around everywhere and was able to steer the car well even in tricky places. He also had a good eye and saw lots of animals. The information about the animals was somewhat marginal, if you wanted to know more you had to ask. However, I didn't mind this.
4. accommodation and food
As already mentioned, Bluerange is a reasonably priced safari company. This is also reflected in the accommodation and meals. So if you are expecting luxury, you are in the wrong place with this company. We spent 4 nights in fixed tents and 1 night in a hotel. The rooms always had proper beds, electricity and bathrooms. So you didn't have to do without any basic necessities. However, as you are usually only in the camps to spend the night, this is completely sufficient. Wifi was rather scarce. I recommend taking out a data package with Safaricom in advance.
Food is usually served at a buffet. It's usually the same things: Rice, vegetables, chicken and beefstew. The quality varies depending on the hotel or rest stop, but it is always edible. On the all-day game drives, the guide takes a picnic with him. This is also edible but nothing special.
On the whole, a great experience. You can be more or less lucky when it comes to seeing animals. If you can do without luxury and prefer to travel a little more cheaply, this is the right company for you. If you want to go on a luxury safari, you will probably have to pay more. However, the national park is the same for everyone, no matter how much you pay.

1 Day Safari - Tarangire
We did a 1 day trip safari from Moshi to Tarangire park.
It was a great day, our driver was very nice and friendly, teaching us a lot about the park, the animals etc.
We could see many elephants (even crossing the road), zebras, antilopes, cheetahs, monkeys and even female lions!!
The drive from Moshi was a bit long but worth it.
Many thanks for this great day restful after Kilimanjaro climb.

Excellent
Our recent safari with Morningstar was an absolute dream come true. From the moment we started planning, the team made the process seamless. Our primary contact, Joy, listened intently to our preferences and crafted the perfect itinerary.
We were happy to have Willy as our driver, whose deep knowledge and passion for the African bush was truly impressive.
We appreciated the 3 day spent at Diani beach after a week long safari game drive. We also did Nairobi National Park, but after Maasai Mara and Emboseli it didn’t seem impressive. We liked the restaurant Carnivore they recommended a lot.
All in all, we had a wonderful holiday.

Incredible experience
Absolutely amazing experience over the past few days with Kapande who was the perfect guide. We saw elephants, lions, hippos, even zebra! He was very respectful to the animals space and was safe. Amazing value for money, book this safari - you won’t regret it!

Everything is taken care of
We did the 6 night / 7 day tour of Kenya and Tanzania. Everything was taken care of by Rajab and the guides who went the extra mile in making sure we were happy (we had the brilliant Chris in Kenya and Amani in Tanzania).
We saw everything we wanted to see, and it was a sensational experience.
As vegan travellers we were well fed everywhere, though there was better understanding of requirements on the Kenyan side.
Just double check your accommodation before you go - a couple of places were different to what we expected, though we were happy with everywhere we stayed - staff in all accommodations are very welcoming. Don’t hesitate to book with Raja Tours - the value for money is outstanding.
