Really great
The only thing I have to say that not good it the fact that it doesn’t starts on time.
The driver was the same at arrival and departure he was very nice did his best to make people confortable. Annonce the time left was flexible to stop in case of a emergency or if someone needed to.
The bus is really confortable. The stop is perfect with a lot of différents options to take away a meal. You will also be able to see rhino and buff at the rest area.

Amazing two-week safari
I started communicating with John a few weeks before my trip and sent him a list of the reserves and parks I wanted to visit, some off the beaten track. He was very reactive and, after some back and forth and a few changes, we agreed on a program.
Once in Nairobi, John and Denis, his driver, came to pick us up at our hotel and we spent two wonderful weeks with them. John has very good knowledge of the animals and Denis was very proactive on the radio and we were always among the firsts on site. We saw so many animals, including leopards, lions and cheetahs! What an amazing trip! Do not hesitate one minute to plan your trip with them. Asante sana John and Denis!

Fantastic Mazingira
It was an absolutely amazing experience. I went with my 15 year old daughter and we both had a great time. The staff were excellent from start to finish. Johari who organised the itinerary was superb, any questions were answered immediately and the trip was tailored to our needs (being a private safari). Tom our guide was absolutely tremendous and did that little bit more for us, his knowledge of the animals and the parks was second to none and he was very accommodating with everything. I would recommend Mazingira over other companies as they do that go the extra mile, are locally owned and do not mix clients meaning it is just you on Safari with the guide. From when we arrived in Arusha to when we left we were really looked after. I will do this Safari again one day. Not to mention the animals we saw, absolutely incredible, up close and we saw the big five. Amazing. Go with Mazingira, ask for Johari the sales manager and Tom the tour guide and you won’t regret it!!

The tour was good, the operation part in Nairobi could be better .. the Safari part was perfect
Okay, so communication was good
Operations part is good but needs to be better especially in Nairobi program
The Safari part was perfect
Ukunda part was okay but we both managed to improve the quality of the stay there
Generally speaking I am satisfied with the service, looking to improve few points and would love to collaborate again and have more trips

Very professional and knowledgeable team to enjoy your safari the best possible way
Our guide-driver and our cook were of great company.
Thanks to our guide we saw the big five and learnt a lot about wildlife in Tanzanian northern national parks.
The guide was attentive, flexible and knew a lot about all the animals we met during the safari.
We could admire wonderful landscapes all through this adventure.
Sleeping in tents at the camp was an unforgettable experience.
Food was abundant and delicious.
A good value for money 8-days safari in northern Tanzania!

Incredibly knowledgable and friendly family run Safari company!
We met Tebla through Airbnb as we were staying at their lovely apartment (highly recommended if looking for somewhere to stay!) We decided to go on a one day Okavango mokoro safari as we didn’t have too much time, and it was simply amazing. Tebla is a fantastic guide, super knowledgable and interesting guy, fantastic value for money, just wish we could have gone on one of their longer safari excursions- next time! Thanks again Tebla

Fantastic safari experience. Would recommend!
We had originally booked our safari pre Covid and had to postpone for 3.5 years, but we finally made it in September 2023.
Lennox was fantastic with rearranging the trip for us with such care; really great communication and super easy to work with!
The Safari itself was unbelievable. We had Jack as a driver who took amazing care of us throughout the 3 days. He had such knowledge and was so attentive to everyone’s needs! If you’re looking for a trusted partner to take you on safari I would 100% recommend Axis!

Good value for money
This is an excellent package especially for those who are on budget. We upgraded the hotels as we found the the original ones too basic. Our safari started at Masai Mara and we very luckily got to see lions late evenings on arrival. the driver was excellent and kept in contact with other drivers so that if they spotted animals in one part of the park they communicated and would drive you over to see them. This way we got to see most of the wildlife. We didn't see many lions as we were expecting but I guess they come out of hiding in their own time. We got to see the Rhino at Lake Nakuru which fulfilled our dream of sighting of the "Big Five". the Rhino was the only animal we didn't see at MM. Lake Naivasha and Hells Gate were not exciting as we got to see the same animals we had already seen at MM and Lake Nakuru, however cycling thru was fun. The jewel in the crown was Amboseli where we saw lots and lots of elephants. the only disappointment was we did not see the lions but this was due to the van driver.
Overall Bluerange package is fantastic and the team go way and above to make the safari fulfilling. We got picked at the airport on arrival and driven to our hotel and even got an Uber to visit the town center. No other company would go out of their way to provide such a service. As we were in different groups, the driver always picked and dropped each group from theri hotels each day on time.
The only advice I would add was maybe incorporate a walking section in the tours as we were sitting in the van for 7-8 hrs which took away was not as exciting.
The drivers seemed very knowledgeable about the wildlife but our driver on the second leg of the safari did not give us much information as he seems to have fallen out with one of his colleagues. It would have made the safari complete if he had informed us about the animals and their habits.
I would highly recommend Blue range for safaris as they do look after their clients and ensure they are picked up on time. they have arranged a package which offers much more than other safari companies offer at a fraction of the price. For those on a budget, this is good value for money and the lodges are not too bad (wi-fi and electricity are not available during the day but then you will be out watching game so you do not need it).

Great operator!
I started communicating with Mike and Boris from Shengena to plan an 8-day safari a few weeks before arrivals and they were very reactive and accommodating. On D day, our very knowledgeable guide-driver Godwin came to pick us up at our hotel in Arusha on time and we started our journey with Tarangire and then visited Lake Natron, northern and central Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. We were very lucky and saw many animals, including lions, cheetahs and leopards, adults and cubs. Thank you guys for giving us such a wonderful time!
