点评:Mixed reviews for our tours organized by Tishmac Safaris. NOT RECOMMEND booking through Tishmac Safaris when there are similar packages available through others at similar price points with only positive reviews.
We did 2 tours through Tishmac.
Starting with the good, the guided tour of Nairobi National Park was a great experience. We were well taken care of by the team and thoroughly enjoyed the day. It seemed that guides across companies worked together to ensure a good experience for their customers. Highly recommend visiting this park.
Now for the bad, Hells Gate and Lake Naivasha Tour was quite the opposite to our very enjoyable experience at Nairobi National Park. Proceed with significant caution! To start, there was really no “guiding” by Tishmac, only driving and dropping you off with other tour operators at each park.
The Hells Gate Tour Guide part left us feeling unsafe, cheated, and insulted. What really made us uneasy was when the tour guide said we cannot pick you up at the end of the trail, so you can either bike back OR I can arrange a motor scooter $20 USD per person.” None of this was stated in the tour description.
Not knowing where this motorbike might take us, we decided it would be best/safest to bike, but while hiking to a look out at the back of the park, Gadhafi arranged to
have our bikes switched with different ones that were hardly functional with broken brakes and sticky gears. With any remaining trust eroded, we just took the broken bikes back, only to have Gadhafi then mock us with our original bikes halfway back through the park.
When we reconnected with our Tishmac driver, he was amazed we chose to bike back because supposedly he would have picked us up, blaming Gadhafi which seems totally believable. This tour really put a bit of a sour ending on an otherwise
wonderful experience in Kenya.
The reason we CANNOT RECOMMEND Tishmac Safaris is when we contacted Tishmac about our experience at Hells Gate, they only offered a partial 50% refund of fee paid to Tishmac (tours and park fees we already paid seperately), suggesting that are only taking partial accountability for a tour they organized. If a tour
organizer cannot stand completely by the tours they offer to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for their customers, we as customers cannot recommend them when there are some many other options out there.
翻译:Tishmac Safaris 组织的旅行团评价褒贬不一。不建议通过 Tishmac Safaris 预订,因为其他旅行社也有类似的套餐,价格也差不多,而且评价都不错。
我们通过 Tishmac 参加了 2 次旅行。
首先说说好的方面,内罗毕国家公园的导览游是一次很棒的体验。团队对我们照顾得很好,我们玩得很开心。似乎各个公司的导游都在共同努力,确保客户获得良好的体验。强烈推荐参观这个公园。
现在说说坏的方面,地狱之门和纳瓦沙湖之旅与我们在内罗毕国家公园非常愉快的体验完全相反。请谨慎行事!首先,Tishmac 真的没有“导游”,只有开车送你到每个公园的其他旅行社。
地狱之门导游部分让我们感到不安全、被欺骗和侮辱。真正让我们感到不安的是,导游说我们不能在路的尽头接你,所以你可以骑自行车回去,或者我可以安排一辆摩托车,每人 20 美元。”旅游描述中没有提到这些。
不知道这辆摩托车会带我们去哪里,我们决定骑自行车最好/最安全,但在徒步前往公园后面的观景台时,卡扎菲安排把我们的自行车换成了其他几乎无法使用的自行车,刹车坏了,齿轮粘住了。由于任何剩余的信任都消失了,我们只好把坏掉的自行车拿回去,结果卡扎菲在半路上用我们原来的自行车嘲笑我们。
当我们与 Tishmac 司机重新联系时,他很惊讶我们选择骑自行车回去,因为据说他会来接我们,他把责任归咎于卡扎菲,这似乎完全可信。这次旅行真的给肯尼亚的一次美妙经历画上了圆满的句号。
我们不能推荐 Tishmac Safaris 的原因是,当我们联系 Tishmac 咨询我们在地狱之门的经历时,他们只退还了支付给 Tishmac 的 50% 费用(我们已经分开支付了旅游和公园费用),这表明他们只对他们组织的旅游承担部分责任。如果旅游组织者不能完全保证他们提供的旅游能为客户提供安全舒适的体验,那么作为客户,我们无法推荐他们,因为还有很多其他选择。
