Recommended 7-day safari
I was picked up at the airport in Nairobi and the next day I departed for a 7-day safari with our driver Evans. The first stop was at the Great Rift Valley view point, and then Lake Nakuru - a magical place where you can see fauna and flora. Next day we picked up our cook Sam on the way and went to Masai Mara for 2 days where you can also opt for a hot air balloon ride. The lodge outside the Park was peaceful, especially due to our Maasai guards. The food of Sam was delicious! The following day Evans brought us to Lake Naivasha where you can rent bicycles and enjoy the ride along the lake, or even hire a boat. It is also possible to go on a hike to Hells Gate National Park with an interesting at the end of the hike. Next day, our driver Simon picked us up and brought us for a walk along the Green Crater, where you can have lunch by the lake covering it. On the last day, Simon took us to Mt Longonot which is a huge beautiful crater - there is also the option to get into it but we didn't have enough time.
Big thanks to Evans, Sam, and Simon for their tireless presence and services - they made this safari memorable!

KANYEZI GAVE US A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE - THANK YOU - CHRIS AND MICHAEL
My son and I have been on safari with Kanyezi twice (April 2016,2017) and we are going again in October this year.
You are greeted at the Capetown Airport and you will be well taken care of by Chris and Michael for the rest of your trip. Accommodations in Capetown are extremely nice as are the daily outings with Chris and Michael.
The Kanyezi Safari lodge is exceptional with a wonderful staff, food and service. You go on two game drives daily and see many, many animals with wonderful photo opportunities from your open air jeep. Your tracker and guide make sure your African safari is all that you dreamed.
Thank you Chris & Michael for some of the best times of our life, see you soon!

David is professional, knowledgeable and and a fantastic driver and cultural advisor!
I have had the pleasure of having David drive me multiple times and I am always extremely pleased. This trip there were heavy rains and he kept us safe and dry at all times. As an added benefit, I always learn more about the culture in Kenya. David is a great teacher, too!

To do one time in your life
Safari in Tanzania was amazing. Our safari compagny was okay! You have to pay the day before the begining of the Safari, then, you have your jeep with four sits maximum. Driver and Cooker was professional. At the moment of the year, we were really few tourists and alone most of the time ! We saw a lot of animals. Amazing pictures (really!!!!). Accomodations were okay if you are not afraid to sleep with Buffalo around your tent! Only point to criticate is guide informations weren't exactly accurate and little bit poor. For the price we payed I recommand 100% this compagny! Thank You very much for this amazing experience !

The amazing tour guide defines the tour. Overall, great tour and nearly perfect.
My girlfriend and I went on a 4 day tour covering Lake Manyara, The Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti NP. Overall, the trip was amazing and the company left an extremely positive impression on me and my girlfriend, although it wasn't perfect. To get the negatives out of the way, there is room for improvement in areas of communication during the planning stages of the trip. When we arrived in Tanzania, we were informed of floodings in our booked accommodation in the past week, where we had to relocate and some pricing adjustments were made. Given that this was not previously communicated to us, we were caught off guard. Given that we were able to confirm the unusual severity of the floods this year in Tanzania from extra research and other local sources, we believe there was no malice involved but it was genuine miscommunication. I suggest that if you do book a tour with Orongai, it is very important that you regularly reach out to the tour company about itinerary changes and pricing. It should also be noted that even after the pricing adjustment, we found the price to be extremely competitive for the level of hospitality offered.
With that out of the way, the tour itself blew our minds. The guide, Charles, was extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to accommodate some special requests we had (we needed medical attention at some point due to a previous incident unrelated to the tour) and the connections he had with other guides meant that we were always able to spot the right animals at the right time. Although we only went for four days and it was during low season (May), we spotted all the big 5, including a whole tree of lions in the Serengeti and a rhino at a far distance (admittedly, we got very lucky in general as the weather was great for the season). He also had an impressive knowledge of local animals and gave the right amount of context to the beasts we were spotting. The level of accommodation and food offered were at and exceeded our level of expectations and definitely worth the price we were paying for. The company representative also met with us after the tour and was genuinely interested in our feedback regarding our experience, which we felt was a great touch. As with all tours, understandably, there were times when we were gently suggested to shop in some areas, but this was not done in an aggressive or forceful way.
In general, I am very glad to have Orgonai to be the guide to my first Safari and my third time to Africa. I would not hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family should they want to do a Safari in Tzn one day (with the emphasis on the communication part).
