Friendly, knowledgeable team
We had a 3 night trip with Orange to the Masai Mara/Amboseli, including a stay at Jambo Safari Lodge for 2 nights and a train ride across Tsavo towards Mombasa. The van we had, which was just for our group, was functional and as the roads are not that great we got rattled around quite a lot: you get dusty, you get windswept, you might get wet, you might have to hold on tight - but you’re on a Safari in Kenya, it is all part of the experience! Elisha and Cap’n Patrick were our guide and driver and they are delightful people. I asked lots of questions about the wildlife and Elisha was very knowledgeable. Cap’n Patrick always worked hard to ensure we got good views of everything then we would say ‘sawa sawa!’ to move on (learning a few words of Swahili along the way). Our full day in the Mara was magical. We saw so much and the weather was perfect - blue sky, sunshine but not too hot and not many insects either! I had a big smile on my face all day. Highlights for me included families of giraffes and elephants, a cheetah lying nonchalantly beside the road, the beautiful Mara scenery and a male lion with a fresh kill. At a later part of our trip I got in touch with Elisha to see if he could arrange for someone to pick us up at Nairobi, as we had a lot of hours to kill before our flight home, and take us to a couple of Nairobi attractions such as the Giraffe sanctuary and the boardwalk experience (both well worth the effort) and he did just that which was really helpful!! If we did it again we would probably choose an itinerary without quite as much driving time but we had a lot to pack in and only a short time and a small budget to do it. We definitely filled our days and got a taste of different parts of Kenyan life including stopping along the way even popping into a supermarket to get some local snacks. I have great memories of our days in Kenya it was a very full and intense experience and I can recommend Orange for the friendly personal touch they gave us.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Mick R
Another good destination. Would love to spend more time there and really explore the park. Good variety of animals but needed more time to seek them out. Have had excellent cheetah and elephant sightings, a long-distance leopard in a tree sighting.

Title: **A Memorable Adventure with Zootopia Game Drives safaris:*
October 2022 is visited Uganda with thr idea of pushing my music career anf also do community outreaches with the hiphop community in Uganda.
After I intended to visit the wild side of the country and do a short safari. So I booked with Zootopia Game Drives safari company.
The communication was great from the moment I reached out to them. Nicole and Ronnie where swift and flexible in organizing everything.
From hotel selection because I opted for budget but they gave midrange experience with the Bush lodge in Queen and it was a bonus.
Not everything was rosey because I faced a setback when the guide forgot to fuel the car properly and this made him delay on the pick up on our last day of the trip. This was quite an upsetting experience but he compensated it by extending my evening game drive and Ronnie personally apologized for this.
The trip was a 3-day journey to Kibale National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Parks. Led by the remarkable team of Ronnie and Nicole, and guided by the knowledgeable Elvis, this trip surpassed all my expectations, leaving me with memories that will last a lifetime.
From the very beginning, exceptional professionalism and efficiency in handling issues in detail was displayed especially because from the many operators I contacted Ronnie is the only one who offered me a contract and wrote an invoice/receipt after my payments for bookings.
The quick responses to my inquiries and willingness to address any concerns made the pre-trip communication a breeze.
I truly appreciated the attentiveness, as it instilled confidence in the company's commitment to providing an outstanding experience.
The adventure kicked off in Kibale National Park, renowned for its abundant primate population and lush rainforests. our experienced guide, shared his profound knowledge of the park's wildlife, ecosystems, and conservation efforts.
we embarked on captivating chimpanzee tracking expeditions, enjoyed the playful nature of these majestic creatures. The excitement of spotting various other primates, including red colobus monkeys and black-and-white colobus monkeys, was an absolute delight.
The journey continued to Queen Elizabeth National Park, where the awe-inspiring landscapes and diverse wildlife awaited us. Ronnie and Nicole's meticulous planning ensured that we had ample time to explore the park's diverse habitats. The game drives brought us face to face with majestic lions basking in the sun, graceful elephants and giraffes elegantly grazing on the treetops.
The highlight, however, was undoubtedly the boat safari along the Kazinga Channel, where we witnessed a captivating spectacle of hippos, crocodiles, and a vibrant site of birdlife.
Throughout the trip, the professionalism, expertise, and genuine passion of Elvis shone through. His storytelling skills and ability to spot hidden animals within the parks were truly commendable. Elvis effortlessly showed his love for nature and his commitment to conservation, making each interaction a valuable learning experience.
In summary, my 3-day adventure with Zootopia Game Drives safaris was an extraordinary experience. Ronnie's exceptional organization skills and quick responsiveness during our communication laid the foundation for a seamless journey.
I wholeheartedly recommend Zootopia Game Drives safaris to anyone seeking an inspiring safari experience, and I am eager to embark on another adventure with this exceptional team in the future.

Functional
It's a good operator, they give what they say in their package pages. I did 3 days Maasai Mara safari tour with Isaac in September 2023 qnd he treated us well. Beware that water is not included with the meals at the camp so beware to take it with you from the car, there's plenty of it for anybody in the car. We saw almost all the animals we wanted in Maasai Mara, but beware that the park and especially its areas that are very close to the gates are indeed overly-touristic. It's a budget trip and a budget accomodation is provided but still the staff was kind and the premises we stayed at were good. The food is ok and there's also options for vegetarians.
Thank you Isaac for guiding us!

A Great Safari driver
A driver, Joseph was a good driver, and we were able to see many animals. The only minus point is that he was not on time as he made a little bit long break during our Safari trip.
