An overtly informative and yet amazing outdoor experience, gives me nostalgia at its best.
After doing extensive research to pick the right safari tour to go with, we chose Safari Bookings... and we were overjoyed that we did, just to be clear before you read on, I was not hassled in the slightest to leave a good review. I chose to do this because our day was fantastic. There is a reason they are number one.
We did the full day tour with Mr Ben as our driver/guide. We wanted to maximise our potential wildlife experiences. We were the first ones in the park and saw a lion straight away standing majestically on the top of a rock. Most of the morning was focused on finding lions, hippos and rhinoceros. We eventually saw two male lions and 5 females (one of whom a mother with her four cubs at about 5 months old) a beautiful time to view a pride in the making, which was more than i could've hoped for, I was hoping just to get a glimpse of one lion and maybe see a antelopes as i understood it is quite rare and having worked in eco tourism myself, i understand there are never any guarantees with wildlife. We saw everything else too... elephants, crocodiles, hippos, water buffalo, rhinoceros, monkeys, endless beautiful exotic birds. We witnessed a very special moment between a mother elephant and her calf, Ben predicted which waterhole the elephants were heading to and parked us there in advance despite another companies driver not appearing to agree with his decision. After waiting patiently for about 15 minutes, the mother and calf arrived and bathed for 20 minutes right in front of us... it was so beautiful to witness this loving moment between these to wild free and happy animals.
Lunch was delicious, we brought some extra snacks but what they supply would've probably been enough for most people, we just love snacking and it is a big day! We brought extra water as well and a water spritzer bottle (which I highly recommend) to help us keep cool during waiting periods which there were many ... but it is wildlife you need to be patient in order to get the pay off!!

Magical wildlife experience
I had an amazing time with Twist Africa as they helped plan out our magical honey moon to queen Elizabeth National park. The tour was great, our guide has good communication skills, very knowledgeable about wildlife and ensured we reached our destination points on time. My most exciting moment was the boat cruise across kazinga channel and witnessing the big five at the park. My fiancée loved the crater lake visits all made possible by Twist Africa. I’m definitely coming back another time for the gorillas.
Thank you Dorothy

Amazing gorilla experience with Twist Africa Safaris
The trekking can be hard work depending on which Gorilla family group you are allocated you can hike 5 to 7 hours but is totally worth it. To be in such close proximity to a silverback is a wonderful experience and watching the youngsters play around is very entertaining.
Our guide George was knowledgeable and kept the group in good spirits.
Top tips (a) wear gardening gloves (you will be grabbing plenty of branches etc for balance and pushing through the undergrowth)
(b) use a walking pole (again for balance, particularly on the steep down slopes; and (c) hire a porter - members of the local community will carry your bag and generally help you through the trek. The minimum cost is $15 (you can pay more if you like) and helps provide a source of employment to them.i would like to do visit more groups at Bwindi impenetrable national Park on my next visit to Uganda
