New Horizon and Emmanuel were fantastic.
I am just back from this trip. I had a wonderful time. I was lucky to be the only one on the tour so I had Emmanuel as my exclusive guide. We toured this amazing country together and I was amazed at the beauty, the friendliness of the people and, considering the history, the positivity of Rwanda. It’s astounding really.
Highlights were visiting the gorilla guardians village, the stunning views of Lake Kevu and despite the subject, visiting Murambi.
If you have already seen gorillas, are not interested in gorillas or feel they should be left in peace, this is the tour to take. You get to see and experience the entire country and you get to hear from a really lovely guide Emmanuel.
Highly recommended.

A great experience, would highly recommend
Having arranged my tour of Nairobi National Park at only one day's notice, Danson picked me up from my hotel at 0600hrs. He was incredibly friendly and we shared good conversation on the way to the park and throughout the drive. Once we arrived, Danson was incredibly knowledgeable of the Park's layout and where to best spot the animals. On our drive, Danson spoke to me about the animals in the park and their behaviours as we spotted them, we saw Lions, White and Black Rhinos (close encounter with white rhino mother and calf by the lake), Buffalo, Giraffes (at one point we saw a pair necking), Hippos, Ostriches (with 50 young), Zebra, Wildebeest, Hartebeest, Eland, Impala, Thompson's and Grant's Gazelle, Warthogs, Vultures, Storks, and a Secretary bird. Danson was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the species and made every effort to ensure my trip was enjoyable.
Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, with great service and at a very reasonable price. I would encourage anyone looking to go on safari in Kenya to go through Danson; I certainly will when I return.

I experienced something life-changing in Kenya
I was nervous before I came to Kenya. I am now excited to say that I experienced something life-changing in Kenya. I joined Go Volunteer Africa’s Mombasa Program and I loved every bit of my trip.
Working in the kindergarten and hospital allowed me glimpses into the education and medical systems and gave me an opportunity to learn. I learned that sometimes to be most helpful, I had to be brave and ask where I’d be most useful.
Sometimes doing the little things meant the most to those around me - like calming a crying child to allow the nurses to be able to finish pressing work, or having the patience with a child to sit and help them finish their food for the first time.
I was in the public hospital emergency room, where I was also able to see a C-section as well as a live birth. This experience was crucial to my decision to continue studying medicine. I am 20 years old and have just started the pre-med track.
In Kenya, I found incredible kindness everywhere I went. An incredible experience, and one that I will never forget. Thank you Paul and Herbert at Go Volunteer Africa for organizing my trip to Kenya.

6 Days Kenya safari was well planned and Executed
From planning the safari, Maggie was so helpful all the way . She even assisted us to book train tickets as they are only paid via Mpesa.
Our driver Kikitu was excellent and we got to see all big 5. We enjoyed the balloon expedition in Masaimara so much .
Accommodation was in budget units and we got to enjoy so much as they offers a safari experience. Great food, service and excellent staff. If you are looking to book a safari to Kenya please look no further as Bison Safaris will not disappoint you. Thank you Maggie and Bison Safaris team as a whole for that memorable safari.

An unforgettable stay!!!
Kibuyu organized a 7-day safari for 4 people, a week that will remain etched in my memories forever!! It was an incredible experience: visiting 3 national parks, different landscapes every day, magical moments watching majestic animals, a private guide with a sharp eye for spotting these animals and unlimited knowledge of wildlife that surrounded us, accommodations that allowed us to extend the safari even during the evenings/nights (lullened to the sound of animals, and all the animals haha), and meeting locals in the accommodations or during the visit of villages which enriches even more this trip!
If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing! When you think of all the behind-the-scenes exchanges that organizing such a trip entails, from the snacks and drinks in the geep to the welcome bottle of water in each of the accommodations where you have been, from the entrances to the different parks to the organization of all lunches in the savannah, and so on, in short, it was a perfect stay!!
Asante Sana Kibuyu!

Excelent organization of the trip
It was very nice and also driver was so friendly and helpful. He was on time everywhere and drove safely. He gave us water during the trip and also stop for lunch. We saw a lot of animals, especially before sunset.
Accomodation in Mikumi Bandas was clean and women who care of it were lovely.
The next time we will take maybe direct flight to Mikumi because the ride was so tiring for us (around 7hours) as the car was not air-conditioned. But we knew about it. We wanted to save money.
It was beautiful and stunning journey. And I recommend this company!

Timely response, humorous and friendly guide
One of the reasons why I chose Axis among other operators is because of the timely and swift response from the staff Lennox.
The package is cost effective and the accommodation at Lenchada Tourist Camp was cozy and the food was healthy. Couldn't ask for more.
Most importantly, shout out to our driver guide Solomon and Massai village guide Massai George.
They are the reasons that made this trip so unforgettable.
Solomon was humorous, responsible and proactive when looking for animals.
He always took initiative and found a great spot for us to watch the animals.
Thanks to Solomon, we got to spot the big five along with other animals on the savannah.
While Solomon broadened our perspective towards wild life, George broadened our horizon by giving us a tour in the Massai village.
He invited us to his house and showed us the lifestyles of Massai people. It was an eye-opening experience.

Amazing - A memorable life time experience
We did the 6 day tour through Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Ambosili.
We were 4 adults and 5-year-old kid and we took a private tour, it was amazing!! We also added hot air balloon experience over Masai Mara for viewing migration. It included a brunch on the bush which was a surprise for us. It was fun and we enjoyed with our caption and meeting other people. We were so lucky, that we could see the BIG 5 in the early days of our trip and saw other animals and birds that we wanted to see. Our guide Teddy was a knowledgeable, brilliant and friendly person who explained the behaviour and facts of each animal that he spotted to us, and he answered all our questions. He answered patiently to my 5-year-old nephew who loves animals.
The communication with Bluerange Connect safari was easy and efficient through WhatsApp. The itinerary was planned properly, and it modified based on our needs. Our questions and doubts were answered promptly even days before the trip started. Overall, the safari went smoothly and it was the best experience that we had so far. Food and accommodation were fair enough for the budget. The tour was just amazing and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Bluerange Connect safari.
