It was amazing.
All of the service were good. They answer at all of need.
As the exception of the airline ticket. It was not very organised.

An efficient and well organised tour. Some incovenience but first class for animal sightings.
A good company to deal with. Prompt airport pickup started an enjoyable holiday.
Knowledgeable guides with clean and well maintained vehicles.
Some of the accommodation left a sore taste. Sopa Hotels mainly with its electricity and hot water off all day.
If you decided not to safari for a day you were left in the dark with no hot water. Also check your account carefully before paying.
The long road trip to Lake Nakuru was a wasted day. You need to re arrange this day.
The Kirurumu Tented Lodge was a 2 star at best, but the meals and service 4 star.
An experience spoilt in one day.
Our visit to the Masai Mara was spoilt in one day by a visit to Observation Hill. Was a disgusting scene to behold. The area is used a toilet stop except that there are no toilets. Hundreds of people a day use this area as a viewing point and a makeshift toilet. As the only stop for the day, one had no option. I am told the female area was particularly disgusting. The area is a disgrace to the National Park system and to the Kenyan Government. Were does all the money collected as park fees go. One wonders.

Memories Made for Life
Daniel put together an amazing Safari package. It was fantastic and well coordinated trip with very personalized service. We felt very comfortable with our tour guides, Peter and John. Prior to our trip, we exchanged 30+ emails and phone calls in an attempt to craft the perfect holiday. Daniel was very accommodating in making changes and making recommendations to make our trip rememberable. Overall the safari was an incredible experience that gave us the effect of connecting us with nature in a way hard to explain to anyone who has never been on a safari. Thank you Daniel, Chiku and the rest of the crew for helping us fill out our bucket list.

An adventure for sure but a financially unstable company
It gives me no pleasure to write this .My wife and I have recently finished 23 days though uganda and tanzania which was action packed ,saw stacks of animals and met heaps of brilliant folk ,both locals and tourists .James the driver /guide and costa the Cook were brilliant blokes.James especially made the trip memorable and without his resilience and mechanical prowess the trip would have been a disaster.The ageing land rover should have been pensioned off a long time ago .Out of 23 days james would have worked on it 18 or 19 .we pushed started it at least 15 times and spent a lot of down time in wired places while james worked his magic on the Landy (5 hours in a petrol station in Macindi)as one example.we are Aussies who rough it heaps when travelling and all the dramas and changes of itinery did not particularly stress us ,you know go with the flow this is Africa no worries.BUT when we had to cough up almost a thousand US just to keep moving was a bit rich and now three weeks later not even responding to our emails is not good enough .if we had a reasonable response this review would have a different tone because it was an adventure and I don't think Simon is a crook .ps I am Rosemary's husband

Masai Mara Safari
We had an amazing 4 days private safari with Blue Ocean Safaris Company and they really went an extra mile in providing quality services. We have never been to Africa before and I can honestly say that Kenya is a wonderful place blessed with good climate, friendly people and lots of animals. We really had fun.

Review about Mkomazi National Park by StoufferLSU
This is another park that's great but not where you want to start. There are some really special mammals here, but not tons of them. Birding is really good in the Northern Hemisphere winter, less so when the migrants are gone. Almost no tourists go here, so the staff are particularly friendly and the camping area is really comfortable. I don't think there are any active lodges nearby, but we only camped, so I'm not sure.

Diverse habitats but not the fantastic spectacle of some of the other Tanzanian parks
Arusha is a great place if you already have experience at the major parts. On the positive side, it isn't crowded with tourists. It has diverse habitats from forests to lakes to savannah to mountains. There are quite a few large mammals, but no predators or elephants. The flamingos around Momella lakes will blow your mind (and are so much closer and easier to enjoy than at Lake Natron, the other famous flamingo destination). It has a lot to offer for serious birders, but doesn't have too many of the spectacular birds that interest casual birders. We only went there self-guided, so I can't comment on going with a guide. There are a couple of great lodges just outside the park, Hatari by the north entrance, and another I can't remember by the south entrance. The park is small enough that you can see most of it in two days (excluding hiking in the forest, which I can't comment about; supposedly climbing Meru is fantastic, and a much different experience than the crowded slog up Kili). The small size makes it manageable, but is probably also the biggest negative and why I said it is good to visit after a major park- Arusha just doesn't have the vast open spaces and throngs of animals of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, or Serengeti.
