I never regret choosing Blue Ocean Safaris for my trip
The trip I took with my family in 2014 was amazing! It was extremely easy to plan with Blue Ocean Safaris' help. They were very knowledgeable about everything to see and do in the great parks of Serengeti and beyond. We loved our driver-guide and all the hotels and lodges matched our preferences and needs. The next time I want to book a Safari, I will happily choose Blue Ocean Safaris again!

Wonderful piece of Tanzania. Must see!
During our safari, Lake Manyara NP was our 1st destination. We heard about lions on trees, thousands flamingos over the lake, but nobody told us that it contains wonderful landscapes! We were sad we cannot visit the lake from near, our guide said it is forbidden to go outside streets and go closer to the lake.
We were happy there weren't too many tourits around there, it was really quiet and peaceful.
Absolutely recommended!

Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by lem888
The highlight of Hluhluwe was watching a pack of wild dogs playing in the grass as the sun rose - that was actually likely the rarest animal that we saw in visiting Hluhluwe and Kruger. We also saw quite a few rhinos, giraffe and Cape Buffalo while there as well. We did not see elephants or lions, other than from quite a distance. Nonetheless, it was a great experience and we had a terrific guide on the drive. I would definitely go back, but if I had to choose between Hluhluwe and Kruger, Kruger would win hands down.

Fantastic country, wonderful trip!
First of all: go to safari in Uganda. What a beautiful country! So incredibly many animals, an amazing and very varied nature, and last but not least - the chance to go gorilla and chimp tracking.
Both those are qualities of Uganda, and not Matoke per se. The good thing is that Matoke is specialized on Uganda, and the program they had put together was excellent. Very varied and perfect pace. Enough stuff happening but also enough time to relax.
Our guide, Mike, was excellent. He is very knowledgeable, and you can really tell that he too loves the animals and the nature. He is easy-going and relaxed, and I really liked that he also told us a lot about local culture, food, etc.
We went for Matoke's 13 day Best of Uganda Budget Trip. What made it budget was mostly the fact that we were staying in tents - but these were permanent tents on very nice safari lodges, and all these lodges had communal toilets and showers in good condition. Food was also good. Only thing I was a little bit disappointed about was the car, it had definitely seen better days (several minor malfunctions), so I would enquire about this before booking.

Campsite
The campsite is simple but fine. We were not welcomed in a friendly way (not allowed to select our own spot while there were no other campers), but the owner came to do this. Each day a nice fire was lighted next to our tent. During payment the rate was different than stated in the reservation but after some discussion this was also solved.

Wonderful time
This safari was very nice, I had a wonderful time! We saw the big five and lot of other animals. The guide/driver was a very nice guy and he knew a lot about the animals. Even when there was a problem with the car one evening, he did an excellent job. The next morning everything was all right again, ready to bring us to the next game drive. I had a very nice experience!

Exotic Safari Experience
Thanks to Rapheal our our tour guide for an excellent safari experience and booking us in one of the best camps available in Masai Mara, "Base Camp Explorer".
The only complain is about the vehicle, a Nissan Van which could have been better to beat the terrain drive of 100 kms. Its better to have vehicles with better suspension for such roads, something like a land cruiser maybe.

Trustworthy,Efficient,Well co-ordinated
We a couple booked a tour with Kenya Survivors. They definitely are efficient and well co-ordinated beginning with quick response from Mr. Otieno for all our queries. There was no question, unanswered by our driver,Fred. He was putting all efforts to show us the best., not forgetting our cook Jacob. Accomodation at Kibo Safari camp Amboseli was superb, once a lifetime experience, Mara Sidai camp accomodation could have been a little bettter. Overall, no complaints with Kenya Survivors.
beautifull for people who like africa and want to see a complete view
accommodation a little cheap about water, light etc... an you have to pay everithing (not all in)...
Guide ok ++ (Dunn) wildlife good for gorilla and chimp... not for the rest, but i only come for gorilla and chimp, so it's good for me. I have seen lion and all the rest in Tanzania, Tanganika and namibia...
