Expect the Unexpected On Your Exciting Tour Of Murchison Falls with Mega Wild Safaris
I think the tour was very well done. The tour guides were knowledgable and gave us very interesting information as we passed by various ecosystems and animals. They even told us fascinating history of along the whole route from Kampala to Murchison Falls area. I learned so much, and they had answers to all of our (sometimes strange) questions like "Do giraffes sleep standing up?"!
The tour of the game park was AMAZING! It was so cool to see the animals in the wild... and the guides had a good eye for finding and pointing out the animals. We weren't lucky enough to see any lions or leopards, but it was our own groups fault for delaying to get out of bed on time... haha. We did a boat tour as well along the Nile, which had us an arms-length away from hippos and crocodiles... it was SO COOL! I would definitely recommend this.
The tour guides kept us safe, and also were able to improvise well using machetes and manpower when the unexpected came up (such as when trees had fallen to block our path in the game park or when the bus decided to slip around on the road). It made for a fun filled trip! The drivers were also very skilled in their job haha, navigating a large bus like it was a quad.
The company made the experience fun with our tour group, by sharing in dinners and drinks and conversations after long days in the National Park. Overall it felt like they really cared about our experience and knew how to make sure we got the best views, took cute photos, and gave us a unique experience. They also made the journey comfortable with stops along the way to use the washroom and stretch.
I would definitely recommend a tour with them!

Great Tour!
We travelled to Murchison Falls National Park and had a great time with them. Despite the challenges of organizing a tour in this post-lockdown Mega Wild gave us a wonderful treat.
Very competent and friendly people that treated us as loved guests!
They really know the park and helped us to spot all the animals in it and the best views!
Highly recommend!!

Friendly and professional tour operators with good prices
Mega Wild Safaris had a great deal for a first after lockdown trip to Murchison Falls which we definitely don't regret taking. It was fun and we met a lot of nice people on our trip. What I appreciated was how knowledgeable our tour guide was and that everything in the trip was catered for (all activities, accommodation and meals). Would recommend!

Amazing experience
I just want to thank Mega Wild Safaris for an experience of a lifetime.
Getting to see the gorilla's up close all the while feeling safe with our knowledgeable guide.
The lodge was clean and well run and we had all we needed. Everything was booked and paid for in advance so on our arrival there was no confusion, we were immediately shown to our room.
I would definitely recommend Mega Wild Safaris to my friends.

Amazing Experience
Our trip to Akagera was amazing. We had a very kind guide (James) who knew a lot about the animals and their hiding spots so we were able to see almost all of them (excluding the lions and rhino’s ofcourse, but we already knew the chances of seeing them was very little). Our stay within the park was also very well organized and whenever I had a question about our trip beforehand I’d receive a reply very soon. I would definitely recommend Mega Wild Safaris Ltd!

Great service of an excellent operator for an amazing experience in Uganda!
After the moment of getting in contact with them, they were really helpful. They answered all my questions and provided all the info I needed to plan the trip including my flights from Europe and made it an unforgettable holiday for me.
Once I landed in Kampala my tourguide (Onan) picked me up at the airport as planned and my 7 day safari trip started. He was a great driver, very obliging and answered all my questions, whether regarding wildlife or culture. All lodges, the 4x4, the safaris with Mega Wild in Queen Elisabeth NP, the Chimpanzee Trekking in Kibale Forest NP and the Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi NP were just amazing. Whenever there was some time left he suggested additional activities such as a visit of an orphanage, seeing some craters nearby or a community walk in Bwindi NP.
I definitely recommend Mega Wild Safaris as a tour operator. From A to Z great service and an awesome experience.

Rwandas highlights in three days
I had booked the 3-day tour chimps tracking, nothing was missing. I was able to put together my own itinerary (as a single traveller). I decided to stay at the Top View Hotel Emeraude, from where the chimpanzee tour started. Apes right ahead. Early in the morning through the Nyungwe jungle. Then I spent the second night at the Kivu Lake Resort in Cyangugu, Kamambe.
Recommendations can often be "fake", this one is definitely not. I would make the same decision over and over again and book the same tour. I can highly recommend it to anyone who plans to spend a few days in Rwanda, to do a three day tour in the probably most exciting part of Rwanda. During my tour I saw the landscape in and around the Nyungwe Forest, exotic plants, and then also Kivu Lake, 100 m from the border to the Republic of Congo. I found it especially exciting to stop in two villages on the way and take a short walk through the respective main roads. These are areas where probably no tourist has ever been before. It is best to discuss this with the tour guide. My tour guide named "Bienvenue" was a delight to travel with. He fulfilled all my wishes.
The price for all the services was reasonable and fair.
Do not forget your raingear (it is a rain forest, though there wasn't any in my case) and your hiking shoes (muddy ground) and plenty of water, of course!

Great first safari!
I have a very enjoyable experience with Mega Wild Safaris. It was my first safari and it was essential to me to get personalized information, guidance and a good safari plan. I also had a shorter time than normal. The company sent me all the information needed and they acted in a very fast and efficient way with a short notice.
My guide was very knowledgeable, he knew Akagera park like the back of his hand and that was very reassuring. We managed to see giraffe, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, many kinds of birds and some species of monkeys. My guide, Godwin always had very interesting facts about every animal we saw.
The lodge I stayed at, Akagera Game Lodge, was very comfortable and they gave me the best of attentions. I even forgot my Kindle in the room and they collaborated with Mega Wild to get to Kigali so I could get it back in Rome afterwards.
I can recommend Mega Wild if you want to have a good and tailored safari experience.
