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.

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

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!

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.

Very well organized
We had the combination of Beach and Safari. 3 days beach at Reef and Beach in Zanzibar, flying by plane to Arusha, 4 days safari, flying back to Zanzibar and 3 days Reef and Beach. An ideal combination to relax and see the sun and sea in a tropical paradise, and action during the safari. A wonderful experience, well organized, always a warm welcome in the lodges, very helpful staff, and very reliable. Even with a flight delay the driver was still waiting for us.
Only suggestion: book the morning flight back to Zanzibar. Friends of us had the 10.00 flight with flight link and weer at the beach at 12.30. We had the 16.45 flight with a 2 hour delay and arrived 21.00 at the hotel. So we missed a complete day of the beach part of the trip.
Otherwise a wonderful experience and very well organized. Thank you for your good service

Very efficient
Rapid response, reliable and very good counselors on the best available options
Friendly and personable
I did not get the opportunity to compare prices and a friend booked it with limitations on our part as the friend who booked it was there for his neotjer's wedding and there was limited time as we were restricted probably to a day tour at most and only there for a few days
Mr Simon is the person to speak with and they are friendly and easy to get on with.
