Excellent value, excellent service from Mega Wild Safaris
For your East African safaris, my family and I highly recommend the excellent value and attentive service provided by Mega Wild Safaris based in Kampala, Uganda. Anne Bright of Mega Wild offered remarkable support in the planning stages, fine-tuning the itinerary to ensure our many requirements were met. During the safaris she was always available to assist with any minor issues that arose. Thank you Anne!
Through Mega Wild, we booked three private safaris totaling 5 weeks to take us to game parks in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The Kenyan and Tanzanian segments were operated by local associates of Mega Wild and timed to coincide with the Great Migration in the Serengeti and Masai Mara. On East Africa cross-border safaris you are usually handed over to a local operator in each country. All our border transfers went very smoothly aided by company reps on both sides of the border – much easier than had we tried to cross on our own.
The first safari with our two adult children started in Nairobi and took us to Tsavo East and West National Parks, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Amboseli National Park. Our Kenyan guide-driver, David, was a delight and took great care of us. The wildlife viewing was superb, especially the big tuskers, and the accommodation top-notch. In Tanzania, we visited the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area and Serengeti NP (staying in different sectors of the park over five nights). Our days on safari in Kenya and Tanzania were spent in excellent, well-equipped and comfy Toyota Land Cruiser pop-up-roof safari vehicles. The days began after the crack of dawn and ended 11 hours later before dusk, which was exactly how we wanted them: filled to the max. Sightings were abundant and lavish, informed by our trained, experienced guide-drivers who tended to our every need and ensured our safety, made us feel at ease from the get-go and knew how and when to get things done so we never had to fret about doing a thing. From the Serengeti, we were seamlessly deposited at the Seronera Airstrip for our flight to Zanzibar (for a few days of beachside relaxation at the excellent My Blue Hotel).
Our second safari for my wife and I, included Masai Mara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire NP. It was as excellent as our first.
Needless to say, we saw an incredible amount and variety of wildlife, including not only the Big 5, but 5 crossings of the wildebeest over the Mara River over two days. The sheer richness of the Serengeti/Maasai Mara ecosystem has to be seen to be believed and seeing it with expert guide-drivers like those furnished by Mega Wild associates made for an unforgettable and richly-rewarding experience.
Our guide-drivers, David and Julius in Kenya, and Martin and Jackson in Tanzania, were simply delightful -- mature, friendly, reliable, respectful, knowledgeable, safety-conscious, always on time and both took impeccable care of us. Martin, always smiling, doted over us and the kids, and Jackson summed it up perfectly when we first crossed into Serengeti NP and he said: "Welcome to my office!" We entrusted ourselves fully into their most capable hands.
The accommodation, both tented and lodge-based, was always comfortable and, at times, even luxurious. The food, though sometimes repetitious in its buffet offerings, was nonetheless hearty and nourishing. Everything ran smoothly and like clockwork.
Our third safari in Uganda, wholly operated by Mega Wild, started and ended in Entebbe. It took us to Queen Elizabeth NP, Kibale NP for chimpanzee tracking, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest NP for the unforgettable experience of mountain gorilla tracking and Lake Mburo NP. We highly recommend friendly Uganda for primate viewing, wildlife viewing and bird watching in a more laid-back environment than the more commercialized safaris in Kenya and Tanzania.
We had the pleasure of meeting the children of Olives’ Hope orphanage in Bigodi to whom Mega Wild donated 10% of our safari cost. Our driver, James, performed heroic measures to help me retrieve a cellphone that fell into a latrine pit – but that’s another story! A small scheduling glitch in Bwindi was deftly handled by Anne – it was an advantage to have a local operator that could fix things quickly.
In short, you need not look any further than Mega Wild Safaris for your next safari in East Africa, we highly recommend them.

James was very helpful, social, and accommodative.
James’ hospitality was outstanding from when he picked us up from our accommodation throughout the journey. He was always attentive, flexible, patient, and eager to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. It was clear that he genuinely cared about providing a meaningful and personalized experience.
This safari exceeded all our expectations and created memories we will treasure forever. If you are considering a trip to Uganda, I would wholeheartedly recommend Mega Wild Safaris—they truly go above and beyond to deliver an exceptional experience right from the booking process all through to the end of the trip.

Beautiful first safari experience
After doing some research ourselves we asked for a quote from 5 different safari tour operators. All proposals were very similar but in terms of pricesetting there was a difference. We choose for MWS for different reasons. After we decided to focus on MWS for our first safari trip we had a good experience in the preparation and organisation of our trip. Quick answers whenever we had any questions or remarks. Also flexible in terms of changing for example a hotel .
The safari itself was above expectations.
Experienced drivers excellent vehicles everything executed as we agreed .
We would like to thanks MWS and in particular Anne our main contact and our both drivers David and Vincent.
Great operation - great partners and very easy to work with
We just returned from a custom 16 day safari with Mega Wild and couldn't be more pleased.
We chose Mega Wild because from day one of the process, Anne was responsive and very helpful.
Our trip included gorilla trek in Uganda plus Masai Mara (Kenya) and Tanzania with a few days in Zanzibar before our long trip home.
Our guides were knowledgeable and seemed to be able to match the pace we wanted. They went out of their way to give us the best possible experience.
We really enjoyed having hot lunches even in the middle of the Serengeti while some of the other tour groups had cold lunch boxes with sandwiches. Little things like that can make a difference!
We definitely recommend Mega Wild. You won't regret it.
Mega Wild Safaris: The Best Way to Experience East Africa
On Christmas morning 2024 I decided to kick off the planning of our dream vacation. I sent a few inquiries via SafariBookings.com and, within eight hours, Anne replied with a complete itinerary proposal and thoughtful follow-up questions to be sure she could craft the trip of a lifetime.
They truly nailed what we wanted and delivered incredible value for money. Working with a local agency felt meaningful—we were supporting the region directly—and they ensured every detail was covered. We ultimately chose a Kenya + Uganda itinerary that balanced sweeping savannah landscapes with unforgettable encounters with great apes.
I especially want to highlight Uganda, which is probably underrated by many Western travelers. Don’t miss the chance to spend time there: the wilderness, tea and coffee plantations, lush scenery, and warm people are extraordinary. Even though it is less developed than Kenya, the experience is remarkable and authentic.
Communication from the agency was sharp and efficient, exactly what I appreciate. I didn’t have to sit through endless calls; my expectation was for them to handle everything—and they did. We had zero issues during the entire trip.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mega Wild Safaris to anyone planning an East African adventure, and will encourage my family and friends to do the same.
A huge thank-you to Anne, Julius, and Isaac for giving us such a memorable first taste of Africa.
