in few words... it was simply perfect!
A long and exciting journey of over 20 days among the wonders of Uganda was possible thanks to a careful, meticulous, patient and extremely professional organization. Mega Wild Safari's ability to cope with all requests and needs was flawless. Onan and James were not only two very good guides but also two traveling companions able to share with me their views on their magnificent country! thank you very much ... see you soon again!

Once in a lifetime experience
What a wonderful adventure with Mega Wild Safaris. Thanks so much to Onan and Dalson who were perfect guides for this amazing trip. So many great memories with animals and people who will live in my mind for a long long time. Many facilities to suit our preferences. If you are looking for a good company to discover Uganda and its border countries: go for it!

Trip of a lifetime thanks to our guides.
I travelled with a group of 6 other women and we could not have been more impressed by the level of service that our tour guides James and Dalson provided. They were knowledgeable and fun which made the long travel days exciting. The hotels that we stayed in were all on par or above for expectations and the staff at each stop were so welcoming. The experiences that Megawild set up were fantastic and we enjoyed every moment. Memories for a lifetime!

Always looked out for us on our fantastic tour!
We went on a 13 day tour of Rwanda and Uganda with Mega Wild Safaris. This was the trip of a lifetime for an unbelievably reasonable price. We saw everything! In Rwanda we drove on safari and tracked chimpanzees. In Uganda we spent time with mountain gorillas (sitting right among them), went lion tracking and found 2 prides plus 2 leopards, multiple safari trips and two boat safaris, one on the Nile. Saw so many hippos, crocodiles (huge), elephants, giraffes, rhinos, jackals lots of monkeys and birds. We were up close with all of them.
Our tour guides (James, Dalson and James) were so attentive and friendly. They were always watching out to make sure we had a perfect vacation. Our hotels were great and the food excellent.
No bugs, no issues at all! I highly recommend this tour company for African tours. The 13 day tour would be great for families or groups of friends, even alone if you so desire.

Such a great group, well organized!
Our guides Dalson and James were great and helpful throughout! There was enough structure to know what we were doing, but enough flexibility to make adjustments based on how we were feeling or the weather (which was perfect when we needed it!). The accommodations were great. There was a nice mix of sorta rustic (although still showers and flush toilets) and some higher end places. Dalson was able to switch our rooms one night when the previously planned hotel didn't have a functioning pool. We had just mentioned it in passing when we were in the van that we were excited to go swimming, we didn't request the change. Although we would have been fine either way, this highlighted how much Dalson was paying attention to us and able to flex into a different plan very quickly.
I wasn't in the planning stage, but I know Anne worked well with our group leader to determine the sights we wanted to see. The tour was varied and had a little bit of something for everyone, animals, scenery, culture and food! The locals were exceedingly nice and wanted us to all have a great time. This trip did highlight how much I've let myself get out of shape, but the guides and trackers were so good about making sure we could get to where we were going even when I was struggling.
I would not hesitate to recommend Megawild Safari to anyone considering a trip to Africa!

Awesome 15-day Safari Adventure in Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda
We took a 15 day safari through Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda. It was an amazing and life changing experience we will never forget. It was a great mix of game drives through various parks, visiting cultural areas and learning more about the communities. We also had some adventure such as hiking with gorillas, hiking with chimpanzees, and whitewater rafting the Nile! We had Stephen as a guide in Tanzania and Onan and Dalson as our guides in Kenya and Uganda. We could not have been more pleased. They really made the trip worthwhile. The guides can make or break a safari and these ones were awesome. Anne was the person I worked with to plan the trip and she was amazing with all of the nuance that I was seeking and making sure that this would be a perfect trip for myself, my wife, and two sons (18 and 16).
This has been my only safari so I can not honestly compare. However, I can say that Mega Wild Safaris completely exceed my expectations and ensured that we will be talking about this trip for the rest of our lives. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Excellent Experience
We did a 10 day safari with Mega Wild Safaris. Our guide Dalson was excellent and was really great company for our whole trip around Uganda. Dalson pulled out all the stops to make sure we had the best trip possible. Communication and planning was very easy and efficient. The accommodation options were mostly excellent and we felt that we got very good value for our money. There were some hiccups along the route but they didn’t get in the way of a 5 star trip and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mega Wild Safaris and Dalson. Thanks!
Excellent experience
We did an 8 day safari with Mega Wild Safaris. Working with Anne to organize a custom tour (we wanted to hike, cycle, boat, and fish in addition to game drives as well as stay multiple nights at the same hotels) over Christmas was very easy. She also assured me I would have no problems having a food intolerance well addressed during our safari and was 100% correct. (Gluten-free at Panafric Nairobi, Enashipai in Naivasha, The Ark, and Sarova Lion Hill in Nakuru was very easy to find and chefs/signage were very helpful).
Our guide Edwin was excellent, friendly, informative, exemplified professionalism, and was flexible when we needed slight changes to our itinerary due to illness etc. He really worked to make sure we had the best trip possible.
The accommodation options were mostly excellent (Sarova Panafric Hotel in Nairobi where we started and ended was not the best- very small room, bathroom so small it was nearly unusable, lost our booking, sliding door to outside did not lock) and we felt that we got good value for our money. We were taken by surprise late in planning stages that we had to pay quite hundreds of dollars more in Christmas supplements and that a spot we had planned to visit was closed, so had to adjust our safari accordingly. Additional due diligence on the part of Mega Wild may have been helpful in that regard so there weren't surprises.
I definitely recommend Mega Wild Safaris when planning a safari to Kenya.
