Great team, great flexibility
We did an amazing 10 day round trip in Uganda with Standard Safaris, visited Murchison Falls National Park, Queen Elisabeth National Park, Kibale Forest, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Lake Victoria. All the destinations are worth visiting, since they offer unique scenery, flora and fauna. Uganda is a beautiful and versatile country to visit in Africa, highly recommended to anyone. If I had a chance to return, I would definitely choose the team of Standard Safaris!

Interesting Africa
Right before the departure to Africa, I had a very informative and detailed meeting (via zoom) with Coleb about the entire safari. I have a specific allergy to some food, but Coleb arranged that very well. The package was crafted to my needs and lodges selected perfectly! In my opinion, this is a #1 tour organizer in East Africa!

Photography and Safari
I am an amateur photographer and all the safari was made for it, and I could not have been more satisfied and pleased. I did the eastern tour of Sipi falls, Jinja, Pian-Upe, and Kidepo. If you've read about Uganda, these destinations are less traveled and very interesting (I highly recommend this itinerary for nature photographers like myself). The guide, Mr. Chris, is an excellent, patient and expert driver, with an exceptional ability in spotting wildlife and knowledge about wildlife, and he is friendly and very pleasant person.
Coleb (the owner) was our contact person at office, he's so friendly and he contained alot of my questions. He is fast in his replies and always asks if you have more questions :)). The lodges were exceptional too! If you are looking for something peaceful, quiet and intimate, then book with Standard Safaris

Value for money
If you want a true Safari experience in Eastern Africa,look no further than standard safaris . I can’t say enough things about how smooth the process was and how helpful and informative coleb was in particular.he set me and my friend up with amazing accommodations and an excellent Safari camp in bwindi and kibale National parks and then we transferred for a couple of days to ssese islands.we didn’t have to worry about anything and all we had to do was enjoy all the amazing wild animals and the stunning views of lake Victoria.

Mountain gorillas with Standard Safaris
Trekking mountain gorillas was a life changing experience for me. Even though travelling between countries was quite difficult during this pandemic, Standard Safaris ensured we had the best conditions to enjoy our trip and arranged everything in advance. Our guide, Deo made us feel safe and ready to face the challenge of meeting gorillas. The porters were very friendly and helpful and the rangers had remarkable knowledge about the forest and always kept us engaged throughout the trek. Excellent is not enough to explain the services of this company. I strongly recommend them as the to-go agency for gorilla trekking!

Mount Rwenzori adventure
Standard safaris was the tour operator for our climb up Mount Rwenzori, followed by a pleasant 3 day safari in Queen Elizabeth N/park. My wife and I could not have asked for a more perfect trip. Jeff greeted us at airport after the long flight and brought us to our stunning accommodation in Entebbe. We were tired, but he was delightful and made sure that we were comfortable and ready for our upcoming adventure. We were climbed the kilembe route and love it. Our two mountain guides, Kule and theo, were professional and very knowledgeable, as well as great companions for this "Challenging" journey. It was honestly the experience of a lifetime and we still speak highly of that trip. After the climb, we went on a 3 day safari to the popular Queen Elizabeth np.

Incredible safari in Uganda
Our safari in Uganda was a Whole incredible adventure. Honestly, just like any other westerner, we were a little bit scared before leaving; we got worried about all sort of things but once our place stepped at Entebbe, everything was relaxed, people were friendly. Coleb, our contact person came all the way to the airport with Chris, the guide to meet us and thereafter we began our marvelous experience! It was way beyond our expectations. For anyone planning to go to East Africa, please don´ t skip Standard Safaris, they also plan trips to Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania.

Group tour
Alex and Coleb of Standard Safaris (SS) were very thorough and patient (with our constant changes) in planning this two weeks trip for 16 of us. They planned the safari so well and gave us a lot of tips and advice. Coleb came on 3 different occasions to our hotel in Entebbe to ensure that we were okay.
They gave us 3 jeeps for the safari with three drivers Chris, Jeff and Moses. The kids (all in one vehicle had a blast with Chris). The warmth and care from the drivers was exceptional. The safari took us to the impenetrable Bwindi, Lake Bunyonyi, Murchison falls NP and Queen Elizabeth N/Park. All the hotels that SS booked for us were very good and so luxurious way beyond what we paid for. Our meals were also catered for, food allergies we had, in mind. They also arranged for 2 surprise birthday cakes for our members in the midst of the safari. I know it's not easy to organize successful safaris for such big groups, but not with Standard Safaris. Next year, I'm planning to return with my workmates, of course we'll book with them!

Serengeti in 3 days.
My husband and I did a 3 day short safari to Serengeti with this safari outfit. Mr. Ngueso, our Tanzanian tour driver / guide was very rapid with replies, with a great deal of information and cautious in driving. He did a fantastic job on time management and was also a polite person.
We spent two nights at the explore nature lodge, highly recommended. We saw all the big five on the first day; thanks to Coleb, the consultant who put this memorable trip together. I'm coming back after the pandemic to explore more amazing parks in Tanzania's northern circuit.
