James was very helpful, social, and accommodative.
James’ hospitality was outstanding from when he picked us up from our accommodation throughout the journey. He was always attentive, flexible, patient, and eager to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. It was clear that he genuinely cared about providing a meaningful and personalized experience.
This safari exceeded all our expectations and created memories we will treasure forever. If you are considering a trip to Uganda, I would wholeheartedly recommend Mega Wild Safaris—they truly go above and beyond to deliver an exceptional experience right from the booking process all through to the end of the trip.

Excellent value, excellent service from Mega Wild Safaris
For your East African safaris, my family and I highly recommend the excellent value and attentive service provided by Mega Wild Safaris based in Kampala, Uganda. Anne Bright of Mega Wild offered remarkable support in the planning stages, fine-tuning the itinerary to ensure our many requirements were met. During the safaris she was always available to assist with any minor issues that arose. Thank you Anne!
Through Mega Wild, we booked three private safaris totaling 5 weeks to take us to game parks in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The Kenyan and Tanzanian segments were operated by local associates of Mega Wild and timed to coincide with the Great Migration in the Serengeti and Masai Mara. On East Africa cross-border safaris you are usually handed over to a local operator in each country. All our border transfers went very smoothly aided by company reps on both sides of the border – much easier than had we tried to cross on our own.
The first safari with our two adult children started in Nairobi and took us to Tsavo East and West National Parks, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Amboseli National Park. Our Kenyan guide-driver, David, was a delight and took great care of us. The wildlife viewing was superb, especially the big tuskers, and the accommodation top-notch. In Tanzania, we visited the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area and Serengeti NP (staying in different sectors of the park over five nights). Our days on safari in Kenya and Tanzania were spent in excellent, well-equipped and comfy Toyota Land Cruiser pop-up-roof safari vehicles. The days began after the crack of dawn and ended 11 hours later before dusk, which was exactly how we wanted them: filled to the max. Sightings were abundant and lavish, informed by our trained, experienced guide-drivers who tended to our every need and ensured our safety, made us feel at ease from the get-go and knew how and when to get things done so we never had to fret about doing a thing. From the Serengeti, we were seamlessly deposited at the Seronera Airstrip for our flight to Zanzibar (for a few days of beachside relaxation at the excellent My Blue Hotel).
Our second safari for my wife and I, included Masai Mara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire NP. It was as excellent as our first.
Needless to say, we saw an incredible amount and variety of wildlife, including not only the Big 5, but 5 crossings of the wildebeest over the Mara River over two days. The sheer richness of the Serengeti/Maasai Mara ecosystem has to be seen to be believed and seeing it with expert guide-drivers like those furnished by Mega Wild associates made for an unforgettable and richly-rewarding experience.
Our guide-drivers, David and Julius in Kenya, and Martin and Jackson in Tanzania, were simply delightful -- mature, friendly, reliable, respectful, knowledgeable, safety-conscious, always on time and both took impeccable care of us. Martin, always smiling, doted over us and the kids, and Jackson summed it up perfectly when we first crossed into Serengeti NP and he said: "Welcome to my office!" We entrusted ourselves fully into their most capable hands.
The accommodation, both tented and lodge-based, was always comfortable and, at times, even luxurious. The food, though sometimes repetitious in its buffet offerings, was nonetheless hearty and nourishing. Everything ran smoothly and like clockwork.
Our third safari in Uganda, wholly operated by Mega Wild, started and ended in Entebbe. It took us to Queen Elizabeth NP, Kibale NP for chimpanzee tracking, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest NP for the unforgettable experience of mountain gorilla tracking and Lake Mburo NP. We highly recommend friendly Uganda for primate viewing, wildlife viewing and bird watching in a more laid-back environment than the more commercialized safaris in Kenya and Tanzania.
We had the pleasure of meeting the children of Olives’ Hope orphanage in Bigodi to whom Mega Wild donated 10% of our safari cost. Our driver, James, performed heroic measures to help me retrieve a cellphone that fell into a latrine pit – but that’s another story! A small scheduling glitch in Bwindi was deftly handled by Anne – it was an advantage to have a local operator that could fix things quickly.
In short, you need not look any further than Mega Wild Safaris for your next safari in East Africa, we highly recommend them.
