Responsive
Mpho Thulo was responsive via email (within same day or within 3 working days) and answered all my queries well. I was presented with good options that catered to a wide range of budgets and needs.
We really enjoyed the service and the safari at Bottlierskop Private Reserve! Got up SUPER close to lions, elephants, rhinos, impalas, elands, and many more. The guides were humorous and extremely knowlegeable. Food was excellent. The lodging was gorgeous.
Only room for improvement would be to have gotten confirmation of the driver pick up timings and contact earlier. We had to call the company for it the day before when we didn't hear anything. That said, the driver was EXCELLENT.

Efficient, reliable, great tour guide
The booking process was seamless and easy. Bluerange were very flexible when it came to modifications to the accomodation options on the trip, as we asked for alot of upgrades! The trip was efficiently planned (albeit a lot of driving!) and our tour guide (John) was fantastic. His English was great, his knowledge of the animals and where to find them was highly impressive. The safari car itself was nice, albeit a little old with the windscreen not fully sealed.
Value for money was good, we struggled to find any other operator in the price range that we wanted, and the animals were incredible. We were lucky enough to see all of the big 5 including around 15 lions, 100 elephants and more buffalo than we could count.
The only drawback is that the communication was not always clear from the operator (not the driver!), the tour company did not warn us that we would need to get visas for the trip (being English and American this is not always assumed) and they were not entirely open about the credit card fees (3%) on all things that you wanted to pay with card and as such as had to travel to Kenya with a lot of cash.
I would fully recommend doing a safari with Bluerange and I would certainly recommend asking for John as your driver!

Knowledgeable and caring
I had David as our tour guide and he knew a great deal about all the various animals we saw. He was able to discern the type of animal and its gender from within moments. On top of that he also provided fun little tidbits if information about the animals such as gestation period, migrating habit and pack dynamics. In addition to all of this, I had hurt my ankle prior to the safari, and without me even asking, David took extra care to make sure I was comfortable and never strained myself

Fantastic safari destination.
We went to Tarangirie National Park and Ngorongoro Crater with Diana Tanzania Safaris and it was incredible. Diana and her guides took great care of us. It's a lot of driving, but it's worth it for the wildlife and scenery. Be careful not to drink the water or swim in pools, but otherwise love love loved it.

Great driver/guide (Sebastian) office organisation could be better
We booked a 6 night Kenya safari for a family of 5 with three teenagers.
Our guide/driver, Sebastian, was amazing. A kind a gentle man, we were all instantly at ease with him. He made the effort to learn all of our names quickly and conversed with the kids, answered our questions and shared knowledge of his country readily, and with excellent English. Whenever we wanted to stop to take a photo or go to use the bathroom he was more than happy to oblige. When he didn't know something, such as the name of a bird, he didn't pretend and would find out later for us. Most importantly, the roads in Kenya are pretty wild with dodgy drivers and even dodgier roads, Sebastian drove expertly and safely the whole time while negotiating animals, huge trucks and long days behind the wheel. He made sure he took regular breaks to remain alert while behind the wheel. We could not recommend a tour with Sebastian highly enough.
The only disappointments we had were with the organisation from the company. We booked a Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli tour (in that order) so that our family could spend Christmas day on safari and enjoy the amazing animals within the park. When we arrived we found our tour had been flipped with us travelling to Amboseli first and Maasai Mara last. This wouldn't normally be an issue, except that we had especially organised the tour to avoid a day of travel on Christmas. Our flight arrival time had been shared, everything had been agreed and sorted. To find out upon our arrival that we would be spending Chrissy travelling for 7 hours was disappointing to say the least. If we had been informed that this was not possible or our flight had been delayed we would have understood. We then realised that our accommodation had never been booked in the order we requested and this was not communicated prior to our arrival.
Once again, Sebastian is awesome, ask for him to be your driver. Book with Apodiformes for a great safari. We saw all the animals, we had an amazing time, the teenagers and adults loved it.
