I am so happy that I have chosen a Blue Mountain for my safari adventure. We were a small group of two and chose to explore the Amboseli park. Due to short time we had only 2 days for this safari but thanks to our guide - Brian - his expertise and deep knowledge of animals and wildlife, we were able to spot most of the incredible creatures. Brian has deep knowledge of animals and wildlife & it’s clear that he loves what he does, which made the experience even more memorable and enjoyable—a true bonus when aiming for an unforgettable adventure. Also special thanks to the lady from the office for her remarkable patience, round-the-clock availability, and thoughtful advices, which proved invaluable in planning and organising our safari trip.

I had 4 private game drives in Masai Mara as a part of my Kenya trip mid-January with Brian being my guide/driver. His impeccable wildlife knowledge and high-skilled driving made my trip an absolute joy. Not only did we manage to spot all of Big Five, but every drive I had was full of amazing animal encounters. This wasn't my first game drive experience, so I had my expectations, and Brian went above and beyond to make it memorable, interesting, safe and enjoyable.

We booked a 9 day safari tour including Masai Mara, Nakuru, Navaisha and Amboseli Park and it was just amazing. I couldn’t think of anything that was missing! Ann booked and organised the perfect tour for us and was always available and fast in response! Our guide Brian was just amazing, he was able to show us so many animals and was very well connected and especially respected by the other guides. He was also always there when someone needed help. He has a great knowledge of all the animals incl birds and knew all the places where the animals could be seen. Many thanks to blue mountain for such a great experience we could have! Would definitely rebook again!

I recommend, interesting program, good drivers, it was worth coming to Africa for safari. Everything was fine and without problems.

Trusted agency with which we spent 6 full days on safari, organized everything perfectly and personalized our trip at a very competitive price. We contacted them on our own and from the beginning they gave us security. The driver, Clinton, has a lot of experience and took us to the key sites at the perfect time to take very nice photos. 100% recommended (automatic translation from Spanish)

The trip was amazing, the best trip of my life so far! Our Guide Dennis is a very nice and knowledgeable man, he spotted so many animals in each reserve we visited that were invisible to us until we approached closer, and was so patient and helpful tailoring the safari to our specific interests (seeing the exotic birds of Kenya)!

I have used Blue Mountain Trekking (BMT) for other services multiple times and, I without a doubt, plan to continue using Ann and her team going forward. I travel into Uganda and Kenya, and BMT has provided roadworthy vehicles and trustworthy drivers for my travel adventures. If there is something I need local insight into, I contact Ann, and she is always willing to assist and help where needed. Ann and her team have gone out of their way multiple times to make sure I have had what I needed, and more so. BMT is truly a trustworthy company with a desire to go above and beyond. If for some reason you are not satisfied with your experience, for whatever you hire BMT for, just contact Ann (owner) and she will do all she is able to make sure things are made right and you are satisfied with your experience.

Brian as a guide was phenomenal. His extensive knowledge of all the parks was incredible. He was an excellent communicator and shared many insights and facts with us. Brian is well respected in each of the communities we visited as well as with all the other guides. Anne was great to deal with she streamlined our trip making it seamless. We would highly recommend this tour company. If we return to Kenya we will definitely book with Blue Mountain again.

There were seven of us on a 6 night 7 Days safari trip. Brian was our tour guide and he was exceptional finding all the animals we were hoping to see comma and putting us in position to take wonderful pictures and to be close to them. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and birds in the three parks we went to and seemed to be well respected by other safari drivers. He was always very punctual and organized. Ann, at the Bluemountain trecking. was very helpful in arranging everything at a very reasonable rate. Ann sent a driver, Denmis to our hotel and we enjoyed a comfortable ride right to the airport. Dennis is also a guide and was very informative during our trip to the airport. He accompanied us right into security. So thoughtful. I would definitely recommend this safari agency as one to use.

We spent 4 days in Maasai Mara then a day in Nakuru, a day in Naivasha and finishing at Hellsgate. The accommodation, food and game drives were all outstanding. Brian was fabulous- looked after us so well and was amazing at finding even rare game to view. Thank you Ann and Brian for giving us a great trip and creating fantastic memories! We would definitely book with you again.

Six days safari wonderful experience! We really could appreciate the wonderful aspects of Africa travelling from Masai Mara to Amboseli through Lake Naivasha and Nakuru! Our drive never let us alone, he was a wonderful park guide and driver. Strongly adviced! Ann followed us in every aspect, I would change nothing!

I had a good time doing my safari with Blue Mountain Safaris. The guide they hired (Felix) was well-informed and punctual. The management was quite supportive all along and answered all my inquiries. They were also flexible when we dealt with some unexpected schedule changes. Overall I had a good experience with them.

Blue Mountain Trekking Safaris has guided us with the best route of tours in Kenya which could cover the maximum of the spots in a shortest possible time without compromising schedule. They also provided us with binoculars and search light for night safari, on request. We could wonder around with a free mind as they took care of the route and transport (in 4x4 open top Land cruiser), stay and food, up to the mark. The cost of the safari was very much comparable and tailored to suit to our pockets. They stick to the tour plans and performance. The driver-cum-guide and cook/chef were reliable, responsible, polite and communicable.

It was an amazing experience. Food was great, accomodations were very nice and comfortable. When we needed something, help was provided promptly. Some of our personalized requests regarding were taken into consideration and accomodated in the tour plan in a great way. Our Safari driver (Ben) has been amazing and very courteous. He has helped us with everything we needed. There is no hidden cost in this tour. Overall, we are very satisfied.

Blue mountain provided us an excellent tour plan with everything that we wanted to cover in 6 days. Ann (the boss lady) was a very cooperative, adaptable, responsible pleasant lady and a fine speaker who helped us a lot planning the perfect trip for us. Most importantly she was always available during the trip for any kind of clarification. Ben (our tour guide) was a well behaved, responsible and knowledgeable man which added more excitement to our experience. Blue mountain prepared a perfect trip for us keeping in mind our well being and wishes in every step. I would highly recommend working with blue mountain for a successful trip in Kenya.

Had such an amazing safari experience doing the masai mara budget tent tour. The tents were quite basic but it added to the experience and actually enabled us to speak to some masai tribes people around a campfire which gave us such a great insight into their culture and how they interact with the animals. Our safari driver, Philip was amazing. He knew so much about the park, culture and animals, teaching us swahili words and bonding our group together which made the trip extra special. He found so many animals including leopards which are very rare. Also made sure we all had time to enjoy the animals when we stopped and could take good photos. Was a perfect safari experience. Only negative was that it said all drinking water was included but we had to ask for it initially and there was non provided at the camp so we had to buy some towards the end of the trip. Wouldn't have changed anything else though.

We did 6 days budget safari as a group with blue mountain company, thanks for Ann, She always was friendly and would answer all of my questions. actually she made us good memory from Kenya and safari in wild life. food and acommodatin also were Good and tasty and acceptable. Thanks

Had a wonderful experience with blue mountain. We had to make a lot of last minute changes to our dates but Ann made all the changes without any fuss. Always felt we were in very good hands and the communication was fantastic from start to finish. The Safari itself was even better than hoped for, but it was nice knowing that if there was a problem , Blue Mountain would resolve it. Great service and highly recommended.

Had a fantastic time with Blue Mountain on a 3 day safari to Masai Mara at the beginning of June! Ann in the office was helpful and informative while coordinating the tour. Guide Peter was friendly and knowledgeable about Masai Mara and the wildlife. Would book with them again!

I had an amazing 7-day safari adventure with Blue Mountains Safaris, visiting Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru and Amboseli. Julia planned everything perfectly and made sure I had the best experience in Kenya. She was always in touch to check if I was happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Blue Mountains Safaris for their excellent service and reasonable prices. They are better than other travel agencies I have seen. My safari driver Jackson was very professional and knowledgeable. He helped me spot the big 5 and many other animals. It was one of the best travel experiences ever!

My wife and I did a private tour with Bluemountain safaris in Kenya and had a wonderful time exploring the national parks, and we are going back with a lifetime of memories watching wild animals in their natural habitat. Our drive/guide kabiro was very knowledgeable and a very skill full driver , I cannot imagine anyone doing that job better than him. Some rides are very long and he managed to get us from point a to b very safe. His knowledge of wild animals and their behaviour is very helpful as a photographer as he himself is a photographer so he knows where the light is going to hit and when and he perfectly aligns everything. If I am to do this all over again I would choose him as my guide/ driver. Also all the lodges we stayed were extremely nice with good food , nice views and some even providing some extra tours which comes with a cost. Once again thanks to team Bluemountain to organising everything.

Visiting Kilimanjaro is always my dream since I was a child and usually i don't like to spend over 5 days for travelling. I scanned a lot of itineraries on Safiaribookings but it was really hard to find a suitable one. When I tried to contact Blue Mountain Trekking Safaris, Ann told me that she can help to manage all and with a very reasonable price. During this trip, Ann patiently answered all my concerns, and the drivers Cyrus Kabrio and Brian were very nice. It was cloudy in the first day when I was in Amboseli, I was so upset because I was afraid I would not see the Kilimanjaro but Cyrus promised me I can see it and the magic was I really saw it in the first evening and second morning. I am grateful to all of you to help me to realize my dream.

The tour was great! Our guide Andrew made an amazing job and he was always giving us his best to make sure we were enjoying the experience. The accommodations were simple but clean and comfortable and the meals were also very good. We saw a lot of animals and had a great time!

We booked a four-day safari in Masai Mara and Nakuru. The 3 out of 4 days went as planned. On the third day, however, we had problems. We planned a morning game drive in the Masai Mara, but our driver refused to take us there and instead took us to visit a Masai village (which we did not request and which we did not like, being an extremely touristy and rather sad activity ... and with a surcharge of $10 per person!). Also on that day a "game drive en route" was planned, which we did not have. So basically the day was wasted, with one hour at Masai Village and the rest of the day driving back to Nakuru. We were quite disappointed. The good thing is that we managed to contact Ann, who was very helpful and gave us back 3000 Ksh each (which was the equivalent to one entrance fee to the park in Masai Mara). Still, we missed something we had booked. So be careful, try to defend your rights with the driver, and in case contact the agency while you still have time! (from what we have heard is a very common thing that has happened to many). Apart from this, we can overall say that it was an amazing experience and we really enjoyed it! The parks are beautiful, we saw so many animals. The lodge in the Masai Mara was also really nice, and we liked so much to be in nature for a couple of days. The people working there were also really friendly (also the food was great!). Ann was always helpful and stayed in contact with us before and during the safari, which was really much appreciated.
