Amazing all included trip - superbly organised and fantastic experience.
We enjoyed a 5 day safari around Naivasha Lake, Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara followed by 5 days at Diani beach. Our whole trip with spirit of Kenya was amazing and it was organised so well. We loved the boat ride (included) at Naivasha and the cycle around Hells Gate (extra).
Thank you to Tiago who was patient with us when organising and helping us postpone and re-plan due to covid. He helped us with all the little detail and supported us in designing the trip.
All the hotels we stayed at where superb and all recommended by spirit of Kenya (they offer accommodation to suit a range of styles and budgets). They also organised all of our many transfers and flights which all went smoothly. We cannot stress enough how well it all went, with no issues, and there is no chance we could have organised it all without them. It allowed us to be totally stress free while we were there and just enjoy the experience.
Charles - our driver - was also fantastic and he shared his amazing knowledge with us and answered all of our questions. He kept us informed of plans, as well as making sure we were always happy, and ensured we saw so many amazing animals. He looked after us for the whole 5 days and made us feel comfortable the whole time. Seeing all the animals was obviously the most amazing bit and that was all thanks to Charles.
Thank you for an amazing holiday!

Simply amazing and professional
We managed to book all of our Zanzibar Trip with Zanzi Tours and Safaris and we were not afraid of it because they are such a good team and they do it really professional. If you talk to them they tell you exactly what you can expect.
Thanks for warm welcome and the safe trips.

Good for programing the trip, disorganized during the stay
We did the 9 days from SAMBURU to AMBOSELI via Masai Mara etc. Good value for money.
During the planning, the manager was very available, very responsive, very attentive. The pre-COVID deposit could be reused two years later...remarkable.
Then, it's more complicated... When we arrived around 11:00 p.m., we already had to pay the balance (normally expected at the office the next day). We paid cash in $, but the series were not homogeneous and they applied a discount... ($20, not huge, but for the principle...)
The accommodations are very heterogeneous. Some hotels were clearly not up to standard. NOT RELIABLE. Especially for the 2 nights on NAIVASHA where we even asked to change hotels (rejected...) We had paid fortunately for an upgrade to the MASAI MARA...
The game drives were fabulous, the guide remarkable! always looking for the best places for photos, etc. Always trying to fix the situations (error in booking hotels, excursions, etc.) He is for a lot in this trip. He constantly had to juggle between the program that BLUERANGE gave him and the one that BLUERANGE gave us... not easy... Until the last day, which ruined our feeling... lunch had to be included (written in our program) and in the end, we were left at Nairobi airport with 5$/p for lunch... very limited as we never discussed the prices.
We still have all the good memories given by Kenya: we were able to see all the animals; each park is different; we did the magic balloon ride in masai mara etc.
Therefore an advice: check the accommodation carefully, and give your program to the guide from the start, making him check each step.

Excellent guide and perfect organisation
The title says it all. From the moment we stepped off the plane we were accompanied at all times, first by greeting staff at the airport, then by a wonderful bird guide/driver, Jude. We have never had a better bird guide anywhere in the world. This was a private tour for two people and lasted for two weeks. It all ran like clockwork with never a hitch. Jude was always immaculately turned out and a lot smarter than his clients!

Great trip
I booked a 3 day Safari with this outfitter after being in Africa for sometime on USAID assignment. I thought my guide Farouk was fantastic. I was picked up at my hotel and returned to the airport on time and as scheduled. Everyone I dealt with ( Ruth, Frank etc.) communicated well and made themselves available for any questions I had. It can be difficult to find honest and dependable outfitters, but this group was excellent. Saw the “Big 5” while in the park, mid range accommodation was decent. I would travel with East Africa Safari again without question.

Professional, knowledgeable and accommodating
Our Lenchada Safaris tour along with our driver/guide Richard were excellent.
Communication was very clear and the schedule and accommodation options were as specified.
Richard was very friendly and knowledgeable and accommodating of what our priorities were, as well as flexible during a given day. We very much enjoyed discussing the wildlife, and indeed wider life, with Richard and he was always happy to engage in discussions.
It was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend.
