The experience of knowing the parks of Kenya has been wonderful and will be forever in our memory.
Fantastic experience. Fascinating places. Amazing lodgings.
Everything that was hired was fulfilled.
Information about the trip was made available by the company and all doubts were clarified in advance.
The script was unclear about the distances between the parks that were longer than expected. The safari at Lake Nakuru Park lasted only 1 hour, as we spent more than 2 hours on a traffic jam while passing through Nairobi.
The car (mini-van) served the other parks well but was not suitable for the Masai Mara, we had trouble getting to and from the park and the safari was a bit limited.
The drivers (Good Luck and others) who made our transfer from Arusha to Namanga were extremely polite and attentive.
Very different from the guide (Felix) who assisted us during the safaris, who was not attentive or pleasant. This was not clear about the scripts (it did not tell everything, changed in the way), in the pic-nick did not give us the cutlery we had available and did not extend the towel, like the other Classic guide that was in the car next door.

Good and attentive tour operator
I booked a 7-day safari plus a 4-day trip up Mt. Kenya with Bluerange Connect. They were one of the smaller operators available but had good pricing and were very responsive by WhatsApp when I was booking. The trip was great, I got to see the Big Five and visit Masai Mara, Amboseli, Naivasha, and Nakuru. In addition, they connected that to a guided hike up Mt. Kenya where I got to see the sun rise over the clouds - super cool.
In terms of guides, most of the tour operators including this one will set you up with a series of guides over the course of your time on vacation. I would specifically ask for Gibson for Masai Mara, and Jimmy for Mt Kenya. Bluerange Connect's driver Isaiah is also really good - friendly and helpful. I did have one guide who wasn't good at all - James - and there was a bit of a mix-up where my itinerary said I'd do game drives that didn't happen, but everyone at Bluerange had been clear that if anything wasn't working out as I'd hoped then I could contact them and they'd make it right. In this case they did which was very much appreciated - I felt I had someone on my side.
Overall I would recommend them if you're looking at a trip in Kenya - and I believe they do other East Africa destinations as well.

Amazing 6 day Northern Tanzania Safari with Vervet Safari Tours
We went on a 6 day Northern Tanzania Safari with Vervet Safari Tours to Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, and Arusha. We had an unexpected and had to postpone our safari trip for a month and the company was very accommodating. They made new arrangements for us.
Our guide Moody is an amazing guide who was passionate about his work. He was knowledgeable, and you could just tell that he was very experienced. He knew a lot about the animals, the history of his country, the culture of the people, the land, and the tribes. We learnt a lot about Tanzania from Moody. My wife and I were very impressed with Moody. He gave us the experience of a life time. During our six days trip; we visited Lake Manyara National Park where Moody educated us on its history and even saw lions resting in trees, flamingoes, pelicans and lots of baboons. We also visited the Serengeti and saw many animals. We were very lucky to see cheetahs hunting. We also visited the Ngorongoro crater and Moody told us how it was formed. Moody took us to Arusha where we enjoyed local culture, danced to Swahili songs, and had amazing Swahili delicacies. The tour was incredible, under the great guidance of Moody.
We stayed in a mix of wonderful hotels and lodges that were comfortable and excellent service. Our experience with Vervet Safari Tours was phenomenal and we will be certainly recommending the company to all our friends.

Most amazing service on our safari!
We have just finished our 7 day Safari in Tanzania, all expertly booked and organized by Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. I have travelled extensively and never written a review before but I could not let this opportunity pass without saying how wonderful these people are. We were travelling as mother and teenage daughter and I had some reservations about just the two of us going on this trip but it was absolutely stellar from start to finish. We were picked up by our guide Ian at the airport as promised upon arrival and he proved a trusted friend for the next 6 days as he expertly guided us through 4 national parks in Tanzania. His knowledge about all the animals was extensive and we saw the most amazing things up close and personal- baby leopards, cheetah taking down a gazelle, families of elephants and on and on. Tony organized for us to stay in the Acacia camps in each park and they were all fabulous. Clean, comfortable, friendly staff and in a beautiful setting. He then booked return flights for us to Zanzibar and all transfers and accommodation which was a beautiful end to our trip. Thank you Ian and Tony for making our trip seamless from start to finish and giving us amazing memories to last a life time!

Well crafted and organized tour
I did the Chobe Day Trip from Victoria Falls tour, and it was an impeccably organized tour. Simon, my driver and organizer, was very friendly and easy to talk to, as well as make sure everything I wanted was in order once we crossed over the Botswana, and was also very attentive. His connections on the other side was a very good one, and resulted in one of the best safaris I've ever had. Could not recommend Africa Beast Safari and Simon more. They are a lot better than most of the name brand companies in the area, and with an unbeatable price too.

The Perfect Partner for your African Safari
Nakuru, Naivasha & Masai Mara was a wonderful experience and even more so thanks to Native Africa Travels (NAT). The pre-travel planning phase was an easy one with regular effective communication from NAT. The itinerary was planned keeping in mind our preferences along with inputs and suggestions from the tour operator so that we could have a holistic experience. All arrangements were done seamlessly and we had no problems communicating over emails. In terms of preparing us for the travel, all instructions regarding vaccinations and other things were communicated. On arrival, we were well received by Ms. Charity who explained our upcoming tour and things entailing that. We were introduced to our driver and guide Michael, who was excellent in terms of taking us from one location to another, the game drives and in general very knowledgeable about the different animals, history and culture. NAT was enthusiastic, supportive and hospitable, and the arrangments were perfect - from having enough bottled water to accommodation locations and meal set up. I wholeheartedly recommend Native Africa Travels.

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD....Beware
It is a fraud company. They have taken $500 as advance
Our tour is starting from 9th August and today, 2 days prior to the safari, I have received a mail to inform us that they have cancelled the tour due to some technical problems. They are saying that they will refund the money but i am pretty much sure that that would never happen.

Excellent!Friendly and helpful!
I just finished 6-days Machame route and made it to the top. So exciting!
I would have made it without Victor’s help, he’s really friendly and helpful and thought about everything about you, all he want to do is to make you happy.
I came here alone and I’m not young, Victor took care of me very well, even carrying water for me, to help me kept energy enough to focus on climbing.
On the summit day, I was tired out and almost every 10 meters asked for a break, so we moved very very slowly, Victor just waited aside and kept encouraging me. Till I made it.
So,I really enjoy this memorable trip, and thanks a lot to Victor, and his company, Migo African safaris & Tours!
