The full Uganda experience, with the best tour guides and a personalized plan to fit us perfectly.
5/5

The communication with Brian was always quick and very helpful. It was more than we could have dreamt and we were so so happy with how our time in Uganda was spent thanks to GoExplore.

Enjoyed ourselves
5/5

Firstly, operator's response is super. Their quick reply gives us a feeling of trust with GoExplore even though we are not out of Uganda. This trait is worthy of note.
Tour experience is of course great, we can see a lot of animals including leopards, elephants, lions with inexpensive price.
Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience from beginning of booking until end of trip!
5/5

My two adult daughters and I traveled on a custom itinerary in September 2018. After comparing prices and services of multiple safari companies in Uganda, we chose booking with Brian and GoExplore Safaris. We chose this company because of the range of services, the cost, and Brian's excellent communication. I told him what our needs and interests were and he made sure he included all that we were hoping for. GoSafari prices were comparable to other companies but what stood out with me the most was that Brian, owner and tour operator, communicated quickly, efficiently and welcoming before, during and after the trip. Although he was not our driver for the trip, he met us at the airport in the middle of the night with Moses, who would be our driver for the week, which was a nice touch. Brian also continued to check on us throughout the week, making sure we were happy and enjoying ourselves. Moses, our driver, was superior in all ways. He was knowledgeable, calm, a great driver, and always made sure we were taken care of, safe, and punctual for anything that we were scheduled for. We were in very good hands with Moses and Brian. Brian and Moses both get 5 plus star ratings for everything they did for us.
We traveled to Murchison Falls, QE National Park, Kibale NP, Bwindi Imp. Forest, did rhino trekking, chimp and gorilla trekking, took 2 boat trips, visited an orphanage, school and communities (something we requested) and much more and stayed in accommodations with beautiful views. It's unbelievable that we saw and experienced so much of Uganda in 9 days. It's amazing we were able to do it for the price as well.
I would recommend, without reservation, this company and it's employees. It truly was a trip of a lifetime and an enjoyable, learning experience.

I think Uganda has a lot of wildlife in Murchison falls
4/5

my trip to Murchison falls with my daughter was so full of surprises Brian sent us a quote and a very good travel plan however it was so pricey nevertheless I expected to have a normal trip that did not include much we were picked up by Moses from the airport for our 3 days to Murchison falls but surpassingly Brians planning was on top after reading a few of his good work on Internet from the past travellers on trip advisor he organised for us the a very good safari we slept at pakuba safaris lodge and another night we slept at pakuba lodge all these lodges were very nice food was good except at para lodge the wildlife was so much and we could not just feel it was enough for us everyday was a new experience for us lions cabs, leopards, herds of elephants and very many antelopes as well this is the best national park Uganda has with well protected and conserved wildlife
this company will take you to an amazing trip thinking Brian charged us highly yes fine but the price was valued to its bet. the best trip my daughter enjoyed so far

i have never seen a lot of wild animals in life like in masai mara
4/5

Me and my friends had a work program in Kenya and so later we decided to take a trip around before we flew back home in Australia, after our program for 5 days trip in lake Nakuru and Masai Mara so we made a search around checked on trip adviser and we found go explore with 5 stars around, Brenda was responding to our emails always we stayed at Sarova lion hill game lodge this is a very nice place with great staff and plenty of food in Nakuru the staff were always helpful, I saw lions after our guide Charles had told us lions are rare in this place so it was so fortunate for us. We slept at Hammerkop in Masai mara one night and ngerede in the wild which is a very beautiful lodge just overlooking the plains of Masai Mara we were able to see the big five on this short trip thanks to the team for organizing this great short trip.

The experience was like a road trip with friends rather than a tour- full of snacks, jokes & sights!
5/5

Traveling with GoExplore Safaris was the best choice I could have made. I was traveling alone to Uganda, and I was a little nervous when planning the trip. On top of planning a fantastic trip for the three days, I booked them for; they also ensured the transportation and the activities that I had scheduled for the other four days were safe and quality places. Furthermore, When planning the trip, he communicated over whats app and would respond in minutes to any of the million questions that I had.

Overall this trip exceeded my expectations. As a recent college grad I was on a limited budget, but with their help, I was able to go to botanical gardens, go to the swamp on Lake Victoria and see a shoebill, see gorillas, go on a village tour and go white water rafting. Even along the road as we drove there were terrific views overlooking the gorgeous country of Uganda. Lastly, the trip was like a road with old friends. We ate snacks, listened to fun music, and by the last day were cracking up at inside jokes. We might have started as businessmen and client, but by the end of the trip, we all left as friends. Thanks for the fantastic trip guys! You are amazing

it was very good trip with go explore safaris in tanzania
4/5

I would be so naïve if I had never planned this trip to Tanzania with this company after a period of searching on trip advisor and other travel websites I found go explore safaris and sent them my trip request for me and my daughters as they had gotten holidays from there college and I decided to plan for them a trip to Africa. Tanzania was the main destination so brian was the main correspondence person who responded to all my emails, he gave us a very nice tailor made trip proposal for 11 days in Tanzania visiting all the top destinations in Tanzania. so after a few emails and couple of questions we trusted this company and made our trip meet our expectations. my kids were so happy we had the very best of the trip we visited tarangire national park, Serengeti, lake manyara and Ngorongoro reserve which were so much full of wildlife and the evolving masai cultural visit in olpopongi in Arusha the lodges we slept in were very nice and clean me and my kids shared a very nice family room at Serengeti Serena lodge which had the best views in the plains hamza our guide was a very experienced driver guide and had a lot of information about his country and was happy sharing every moment making the trip so much fun I definitely have to recommend the services of your company to anyone travelling here in east Africa and looking forward to coming back to track the gorillas in uganda.

An Incredible and Breathtaking Experience
5/5

I went on a Safari as part of a group of 12 with Go Explore Safaris in early August 2018. It was an incredible experience and one I would not change in any way.

Our safari was based in the beautiful Queen Elizabeth National Park. We saw so many amazing animals such as Warhogs, Buffaloes, Chimpanzees, Water bucks, Uganda Kobs, Leopards, Hippos, Lions, Monkeys, Rhinos, Elephants and more. Go Explore Safaris did their absolute best to ensure we saw these animals while out exploring.

On day one we were handed an outstanding itenery which included so many activities, such as multiple game drives, chimpanzee trekking and a trip on a boat on a lake. It was all very well organized and so much was packed into our limited time there.

We stayed at Buffalo Safari Lodge which is located in Queen Elizabeth National Park. We were treated like royalty. The breakfast, lunch and suppers were delicious. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The views were unbelievable. The staff were very friendly and willing to do anything for us. You really felt at one with the wildlife in the park.

Brian was our main tour guide and was the one who organized the entire trip for us. He was fantastic. He was very easy to get along with and extremely efficient in every aspect of the Safari. He could not have done more to ensure we had the very best experience of Queen Elizabeth National Park. I could not fault Brian in any way, he is what all Safari men should aspire to be.

I would recommend Go Explore Safaris to anyone interested in doing a Safari in Africa and I honestly don’t think anyone could be disappointed with their service.
