A safari tour that I wanted to go on at least once in my lifetime. Since tours from Japan are quite expensive, I decided to arrange my own round trip and request a local tour.
They asked me in advance what kind of trip I wanted, and based on that, they suggested hotels and tour contents, which I then requested.
When I exited the local airport, there was a guide holding a sign, and I was able to join smoothly. Since the transportation was mainly by car, I think it would have been quite difficult to arrange everything on our own.
The hotel was in a nature-rich area, and I was able to experience a tent-like atmosphere, changing the ambiance from a city hotel, which made me very satisfied.
Also, thanks to the experienced guide on the safari, I was able to see all the animals I wanted to see and fully enjoy the experience.
There was an incident where a family that was supposed to join us could not do so due to a visa issue, but even then, they contacted various places and quickly secured a driver for us, allowing us to reunite safely.
Additionally, when my return flight was delayed due to an attack in Iran, they immediately arranged additional hotel accommodations and quickly informed me of necessary precautions in an unfamiliar foreign country, which was very helpful.
I’m glad I requested through Oooh. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to enjoy a safari in Kenya.

Throughout the entire journey, there was a sense of security knowing that support was always available, even from a distance. Questions and consultations during the trip were responded to promptly, which was very helpful. From the arrangements before the trip, during the trip, to the end of the journey, the evaluation is very good, but if it could be improved, there were times when specific requests were not communicated to the local guides or staff, so I would have appreciated closer communication with the locals.

It was a wonderful experience where I could feel and experience the fun places in Mongolia.

I had quite a carefree trip.
My listening skills were lacking, and I couldn't understand much of what the guide was saying.

A graduation trip to four Nordic cities for two people. We arranged only the flights ourselves, and left all other arrangements to them.
With the budget and schedule we provided, we were able to have a trip filled with things we wanted to do.

The planning was flexible, allowing us to decide what we wanted to do, whether to arrange it ourselves or request arrangements, so we were able to realize a plan where we parted ways in Helsinki and toured different countries before returning home.
The hotels arranged for us were conveniently located for access to everywhere, clean, and had delicious breakfasts.

There were some troubles during the trip, but the local support staff and the Oooh staff were very polite in their responses. From the reservation stage, my questions were met with "I will check with the local staff" and the responses were relatively quick, with solid communication that made me feel secure. I would like to request their services again in the future.

When trouble arises, both local staff and domestic staff provide supportive assistance to solve the problem, and I am truly grateful for that.

I was able to enjoy the wonderful scenery, and it became a satisfying trip. Based on the plan I created myself, it was improved into a better plan. Both the hotel and tours had smooth check-ins, and especially the procedures with the rental car company would have been very difficult for us alone. Thank you for addressing troubles such as forgetting my smartphone and receiving a payment request despite having paid for parking. However, I thought it would have been better if I had been introduced to places with Japanese tours in advance, as the local tours were tough without being a native speaker. I found out that there were Japanese tours available at Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo, and I applied for them.

There were three local guides (two women and one man) depending on the location, but the male guide was exceptionally good. Having stayed in Japan for two years, his Japanese was 100% perfect, and he had perfect knowledge of the tourist sites, along with a rich spirit of service and meticulous attention to detail, which allowed us to enjoy the trip. The two female guides seemed to lack confidence in their Japanese, as their voices trailed off at the end of sentences and were hard to hear, and their explanations were just like those of a regular bus guide, making it difficult to understand.

I turned 67 during the trip, and my physical condition has made it difficult to plan long-distance travels, but I was able to receive support during the planning stage and have a trip that suited me.

1. I wanted to go to the Jaisalmer Desert Festival → Achieved

2. Interaction with a Rajasthani folk music group → Achieved
It was amazing to enjoy performances and interactions with top musicians at the Desert Festival. It was also nice to listen to music and interact during the hotel dinner.

However, the special performance in the desert for me, for which I paid an additional fee, was by a group of boys aged 12 to 18, and the harmonium was not musical at all, and the singing was terrible.
I included interactions with performers in the travel schedule and paid an additional fee, but I cannot accept that I paid a high price for a group of boys who were not skilled enough. Moreover, I would have been fine just listening to the music, but they prepared a special chair and table for me, along with juice, cola, water, and nuts, which was a waste of effort with 4 to 5 men preparing it.
I wanted to listen to and interact with professional-level performers. This is a significant deduction.
I should have made such a request in advance, perhaps...

During the trip, my friend’s brother, who is the manager of an Indian restaurant in Osaka, asked me to come to his wedding party in Khajuraho, and despite the short notice, it was really great that it happened. Friends and family were delighted. I also performed Indian songs there.

The guide, Ramanand, did an excellent job.
The hospitality was top-notch.
I would give him 200 points out of 100.
On the last day of the trip, I visited Ramanand's home and was treated to lunch. He said it was the first time a Japanese guest had come to his home. The visit to Ramanand's home was my suggestion. I originally wanted to interact with people rather than just sightseeing, so this suggestion was spot on.

However, if Ramanand could improve his Japanese a bit more, he could become an even better guide, so I deduct 50 points, making the total score 150 out of 100 for this trip.

I will attach photos.

P.S.
It was also good that I could buy the desired instrument at the music store.
The travel expenses were a bit high, but having the guide with me was efficient, and I don’t think I could have achieved this schedule on my own with a budget trip. Moving with the guide was smooth, and the efficiency for what I wanted to do was very good.
