Trustworthy and went the extra mile
It is so difficult to know where to start when choosing a safari company. I initially contacted the Kenyan Tourist bureau who provided details from 3 operators. Edna at Blue Lilac immediately stood out. She responded to questions quickly, made suggestions and wasn't pushy. I felt comfortable dealing with her. We booked a 2 night safari in Taita Hills and Tsavo East. Our driver and guide was knowledgeable and good company. Though we only booked the safari and transfers through Edna she gave invaluable advice when our flights were changed. I highly recommend her and would use her again should we return.

Full Service at a Reasonable Price
We just returned from a 6 night / 7 day private safari with Blue Lilac Tours, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish.
Everything ran incredibly smoothly. From the very first email, Edna was responsive, professional, and so easy to work with. She answered all of our questions promptly and thoughtfully, and she helped us craft an itinerary that fit exactly what we were hoping for. The planning process felt collaborative and stress-free.
Once on safari, we were in the very capable hands of our guide and driver, Boniface. He was knowledgeable, warm, and truly exceptional at spotting wildlife. We honestly don’t know how he saw half of what he did! He went the extra mile — literally — to help us track down the Big Five, and his determination and expertise made all the difference. Because we were on a private safari, he was also incredibly flexible and happy to adjust plans based on our interests and requests, which made the experience feel personal and unhurried.
We also felt that the value was outstanding. Before booking, I received a quote from a “luxury” safari company that was nearly twice the price — and interestingly, it included two of the same four lodges that were on our Blue Lilac itinerary. That really put things into perspective. We felt we received an exceptional, high-quality experience without paying an inflated premium simply for a label.
This trip was unforgettable, and so much of that is thanks to the team at Blue Lilac Tours. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized, customized, and truly special safari experience.
