Fantastic one week trip to Rwanda and Uganda
Having got in touch with many operators, Africa Adventure Vacations quickly stood out from the crowd. Robert replied quickly and concisely to emails and he had the initiative to include on the draft itinerary both the activities I had requested, and a number of others that I had not. Even with these added activities that other operators had overlooked, Africa Adventure vacations still offered the most competitive price by some distance.
The tour itself was fantastic and in no way do I feel that going with the cheapest operator compromised the quality of the tour. On the contrary, despite the unpredictability of the driving conditions, everything was professionally organised and went very smoothly. Cesar, our guide, was not only knowledgeable and informative in showing us around his beautiful part of the world, but also good company, a very competent driver, and patient with our diverse group.
On behalf of everyone who was on the trip I'd like to thank both Ceasar and all at Africa Adventure Vacations for organising such a wonderful trip. I very much hope to use them again some time in the future

Excellent safari organised with smooth proficiency, meeting and exceeding our expectations
Benson Safaris Tanzania were excellent from the start, with good clear communication. We were able to amend the proposed itinerary to suite our requirements with ease.
The service provided was excellent with everything going to plan, with all transfers running smoothly. The vehicles and driver, guide were as described and a great way to explore for the two of us with lots of space for animal viewing, being able to move easily about the vehicle and with chargers for keeping batteries charged, and coolers for cold drinks. The game viewing was exceptional. We saw all we had hoped for and more.
A vehicle breakdown was dealt with with little disruption following a temporary repair, with a replacement vehicle arriving quickly to prevent any disruption to our tour.
As well as excellent safari viewing a surprising highlight was the cultural visit to the HadzabeBush People and Datoga Tribe at Lake Eyasi.
All of the hotels and tented lodges recommended and chosen were superb, in great locations and with excellent service

BREATHTAKING EXPERIENCE. One of a kind holiday for me and my family.
Well everything was beyond our expectations. The communication between us and the agency was great no problems there and transfers from airport to our hotels and all the other places we were supposed to meet all went smoothly. Their service was 5 star compared to services of other tour agencies we have used in previous years and me and family can't wait to travel next year again with Bluerange. The best part of the tour was really the very informative staff the agency provided us I can recall Esther, Bernadette and Dennis just to mention a few. This guys were amazing providing us information about every little detail in the 3 places we visited maasai mara, amboseli and Lake Nakuru. We saw the big five took a alot of photos everywhere we went and really had a great time. If you're looking to have a fun filled holiday then Bluerange is the agency of choice.

service was excellent
I visited Kenya for honeymoon safari together with my wife. Jackson offered us a good package that included visit to Diani, Tsavo national Park. We can say that the tour firm was good and the service was excellent. We are ready to recommend you to other people who might want same service.

Amazing Experience
The tour was an amazing experience. The tour guide, Bakari, went above and beyond to ensure our safety and happiness on the trip. He was very professional and knowledgeable but also very carefree and adventurous. He cared very deeply about ensuring we had the most amazing experience on the safari. We saw many animals and the accommodation was a true experience.

Epic African adventure.
Filbert and his team really looked after us. The accommodation is a real treat with traditional mud huts with all the creature comforts of decent beds and hot showers.
The night boat safari was amazing seeing hippos and other wildlife. But seeing elephants and lions on the day safari was the best.

A satisfying experience worthy of the stress.
I have previously been to many parks in South Africa, especially the Kruger Park, and the Akagera Park in Rwanda, however the trip to the Serengeti was a world class experience worthy of the three days of my sleeping in the camp tent with little or no comfort.
In all my trips to the reserves, I have not been lucky to see as many animals as I did in the Serengeti plain especially with the so called 'Big Five'. In one game drive of about two hours, I witnessed four of the Big Five (the Leopard, elephant, the buffalo and the lions), and most importantly for any game watch, I caught the lions in real actions of mating and stalking a prey in an ambush - that was an experience.
Communications within the parks was very good as most of the areas in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater were covered by the network, and many stop points, and viewing points have Wifi installed. This made the safari interesting as one could still communicate with the other world.
I missed the popular migration because of visa delays (as visa on arrival was no longer available for Nigerians). I hope to make the trip in June, 2020 to experience the migration.

Professional and Friendly
Pride of Africa are very professional tour company. We were visiting Kenya for 10 days and decided to book a tour with them for 5 days in Masai Mara , Nakuru. They treated us well and we were able to enjoy our safaris right from the time we were picked from the Airport to the time we were to continue with other activities we had for the remaining 5 days. We enjoy viewing various animals and on the last day they treated us at a certain restaurant in Nairobi and enjoy something they call "Nyama Choma". We are proud of you and can't wait to do another safari with you.

Trip of 7 days with Twinkle star tours and Safaris
When I was planning my vacation with Kenya, I was in a doubt as to how the experience will be..how will I plan the trip with a Travels agent whom I have never even met or corresponded in my life.etc . My fear was more compounded as I had to make the payments in advance to some one I never knew..I was afraid of being conned of my money once i had paid..However later I would come to know that I was wrong in my fears.
I selected Twinkle tours from around 10 tour operators found on Trip advisor & other Internet sites. My final choice was based on the immediate responses given by James (owner of Twinkle Tours). He was always quick in his responses & that assured me that I may be in good hands & that it was safe to continue with Twinkle Tours.When ever I called , he used to be on line & answer all my queries..
On my arrival in Nairobi, I was picked up by a cheerful staff member from Twinkle Tours & driven to my hotel (which was a nice place). James immediately called me & came to the Hotel. He was kind enough to come with me personally to change money (from a bank) & only left the Hotel when I was comfortable.He again came to me on my last day in Nairobi. I also saw that he would always keep calling our driver (every day & after every trip) to find out if we were comfortable or if we had any issues with any arrangement.This was so nice of him.
He assigned me one of the best tourist guides (cum driver) Mr.Willy aka Double Whiskey..Willy was extremely friendly,great with information,drove us safely through out the trip & dropped us in time at Airport back to Home. During the 3 day stay at Masai, he was always on his radio to find out where the game was & was quick to drive us to the point. We saw all the animals (big 5) due to Willy & his knowledge of the park. Willy & James put us in the best of Hotels & rooms & we never had any complaint.
I would definitely recommend Twinkle star, James & Willy for anyone coming to Kenya. They are one of the best I have dealt with in my travels around the world. You should go for Twinkle star blindly when finalizing a Kenya Trip
