Lush Africa Safaris is marvelous
5/5

My wife and our two teenage daughters visited South Africa for the first time in April. Initially we were visiting a family member in Durban when a safari thought popped up in my mind. I contacted Abbey and he wasted no time putting this 5-day trip together for us. He knows South Africa like the back of his hand. Our movement from Durban to Kruger was made easy thanks to his knowledge. Our tour guide was the nicest person I have eved met. So knowledgeable, so humble, so helpful, so caring. We saw all the animals we hoped to see. This was the best experience of my life in the wilderness. I would definitely recommend these guys a zillion times.

With a wonderfully personal approach Lush Africa Safaris made our trip a truly memorable experience!
5/5

Before going on this trip, we came in contact with Solomon from Lush Africa Safaris. His communication was as it should be: positive energy, inquisitive for our needs and wishes, comfortable and flexible to discuss options and a few changes to the itinerary. We were picked up from our home, on the agreed time. Soon after leaving it became clear that with Solomon and his colleague Richard - an expert on forest wildlife and National Parks in general with decades of experience working at the UWA - we were in for a great trip! The personal connection we made is something that absolutely stood out for me. We stayed at the Budongo Eco Lodge, in the middle of Budongo Forest, which was very well suited with a warm and accommodating staff. The cabin was spacious, with a very comfortable bed for a perfect night of sleep. The sounds of the waking forest (from chimps, bush babies, tree hyraxes and many, many birds) made for a surreal escape from the bustle of busy Kampala. In the 2 days we stayed in Murchison, we hiked around the falls, went on an early morning game drive, took a river cruise and had our time in the forest. All in all a magnificent trip, that would not have been the same if it weren’t for Solomon and Richard. Thank you so much guys!!

Best Guides yet!
5/5

Well what can I say...lets start with service and communication. Soloman was attentive to our every need and interest for this trip in the pre-planning phase. He was in touch regular and provided great recommendations that fit well with what we wanted (ie: the lodge, stops on the way, the park details, etc).

Lets move onto value for money: I would suggest this for any type of traveller because they accommodate to meet your needs and price range. We were very happy with the lodge, food, and transport and they stayed within our budget and ensured we had a memorable experience.

Lastly, the overall experience was one of the best I have had with a tour operator/guide in East Africa. Their knowledge of Uganda, East Africa and hyper-local was unparalleled.

I strongly recommended using Lush Africa Safaris for your next experience to the region - you will walk away happy that you did!
