Wonderful Safari Experience
After extensive research, we chose to book with Mega Wild Safaris as they offered exactly the trip that we wanted - a safari in Tanzania and trekking to see the chimpanzees and gorillas in Uganda. From the outset, we dealt with Anne who was excellent to deal with. She replied promptly to our first enquiry, and was then endless patient with all our queries and questions. We asked for some small changes to the itinerary which were accommodated without any problems. Our tour included several flights, various lodges, different guides in the two countries and all worked perfectly. We saw all the big five, had numerous encounters with other wildlife, an unforgettable Mara wildebeest migration in Tanzania and then the amazing chimp and gorilla experiences. It was great value for the tour cost. Our guides, Godwin in Tanzania and Eddy in Uganda were skilled, experienced, knowledgeable and good fun to travel with. Thank you both for making our holiday so successful. We are very happy with the way the whole trip unfolded and have no problem in recommending Mega Wild to other travelers.
One small recommendation - we fitted a lot in to the 12 days and were on the move to a different lodge every day. We had some long days driving to get round to all the destinations. It would be worth considering staying two nights in some lodges just to have a slightly more relaxed tour. Having said that, we did love every day we had on this safari.

Great Trip with a Few Hiccups
We booked this safari almost a year in advance. There were a couple of things that required me to send reminders but it was taken care of promptly. The trip had many wonderful highlights — Kenya was excellent and the gorilla trek in Uganda was truly unforgettable. Those experiences went smoothly and gave us memories we’ll treasure.
That said, not everything was seamless. Some of the planning around Tanzania didn’t come together initially as hoped, and there were a few logistical and communication challenges that made this part of the trip feel less organized. This led to some downtime and a guide who wasn’t quite the right fit. While these issues didn’t take away from the beauty of the wildlife, they did add some stress that could have been avoided with more careful coordination.
Overall, the safari had incredible moments and we’re glad we went! With better planning and coordination this could have been a smoother, more consistently outstanding experience.

Mega Wild Safaris: The Best Way to Experience East Africa
On Christmas morning 2024 I decided to kick off the planning of our dream vacation. I sent a few inquiries via SafariBookings.com and, within eight hours, Anne replied with a complete itinerary proposal and thoughtful follow-up questions to be sure she could craft the trip of a lifetime.
They truly nailed what we wanted and delivered incredible value for money. Working with a local agency felt meaningful—we were supporting the region directly—and they ensured every detail was covered. We ultimately chose a Kenya + Uganda itinerary that balanced sweeping savannah landscapes with unforgettable encounters with great apes.
I especially want to highlight Uganda, which is probably underrated by many Western travelers. Don’t miss the chance to spend time there: the wilderness, tea and coffee plantations, lush scenery, and warm people are extraordinary. Even though it is less developed than Kenya, the experience is remarkable and authentic.
Communication from the agency was sharp and efficient, exactly what I appreciate. I didn’t have to sit through endless calls; my expectation was for them to handle everything—and they did. We had zero issues during the entire trip.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mega Wild Safaris to anyone planning an East African adventure, and will encourage my family and friends to do the same.
A huge thank-you to Anne, Julius, and Isaac for giving us such a memorable first taste of Africa.
