So nice, we booked it twice!
Both of our tours in May were with Erik (Erikson) Nzesya. He came highly recommended by my Kenyan friend, whom we were visiting. Erik did not disappoint! He is a quiet, very attentive guide, who will gladly answer any questions put to him. This is his 16th year as a guide and my mother and I felt like we were in great hands. Seeing so many majestic animals, free to roam or lie where they like, was amazing.
On a bathroom break, I off-handedly said that I hadn't seen any lizards in Nairobi, even though I knew they had to be around somewhere. Later on, the truck suddenly stopped and Erik pointed out a small lizard sunning itself on a signpost. This is how attentive he is! On a different day he noticed a baby turtle at he side of the road. All in all we saw 4 of the big five and many other fascinating animals. Booking a second half-day was well worth it, because different animals prefer different types of weather. So, it felt like two completely different tours. We rounded off the tour with some souvenir shopping and, on one day, a buffet lunch. We were absolutely thrilled with our experiences on both days and highly recommend Erik and Day 2 Day Tours.
Please note that the guides exchange information with eachother by phone, text and in-person about what animals have been sighted and where. This is all to give the visitors the best experience possible.
Thank you Erik and Day2Day Tours for the last-minute airport transfer and your kind guidance through Nairobi National Park!

Professional and empathetic
Review:
This was my first time visiting Africa, and I honestly could not have chosen a better company than Blue Mist Safari. From the very beginning, their team was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire experience.
What stood out the most was how much attention they gave to our needs and personal circumstances. They made everything feel effortless and comfortable, with a level of care that truly felt like a luxury service.
The lodges were fantastic — clean, beautiful, and very welcoming. Every person we met during the trip was incredibly kind and hospitable, which made the whole experience even more special.
Blue Mist Safari exceeded all my expectations, and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Well organized with good guides who know what they are doing. Good accommodation and plenty wildlife
Lots of wildlife seen - all the major species (giraffe, buffalo, warthog, elephants, antelope,birds, hippo, crocodiles and lion). Proficient guides with illuminating explanations. Pleasant accommodation when you open your door to warthogs. Good value for money. Visits to the rhino sanctuary, Murchison Falls, river trip on the White Nile and chimpanzees seen with comprehensive explanations.

Absolutely Amazing!
Our safaritrip with gemfinders was absolutely Amazing! Our tour Guide Lawrence was the best! He took us to the best places in the nationalparcs, so we could See a Crazy amount of animals close up, and taught us everything about Those animals and a lot about Kenia and it’s Culture itself. We couldn't have wished for a better first safari. It was the best Trip ever!
Thank you Gemfinders and Thank you Lawrence for this Crazy last week:)

Amazing and Shanjoy made it a trip of a lifetime!
Everything from start to finish was excellent. Shanjoy worked very closely with us to customize the perfect trip from start to finish. From customizing accommodations to the ones we wanted (even specific preferences as to rooms), while on the game drives taking our preferences as to animals, timing etc. into account, to helping with boarder crossings/VISA information to make sure the whole trip felt effortless and we could just enjoy! They made everything perfect. Shanjoy's communication was excellent and always made us feel like their main goal was for us to have the exact trip we wanted. Beth and Rodah were amazing. Our guide Kim was also amazing with a wealth of information and was a true ornithologist at heart! We would wholeheartedly recommend Shanjoy to anyone (and already have to friends and family!)
