Group tour
Alex and Coleb of Standard Safaris (SS) were very thorough and patient (with our constant changes) in planning this two weeks trip for 16 of us. They planned the safari so well and gave us a lot of tips and advice. Coleb came on 3 different occasions to our hotel in Entebbe to ensure that we were okay.
They gave us 3 jeeps for the safari with three drivers Chris, Jeff and Moses. The kids (all in one vehicle had a blast with Chris). The warmth and care from the drivers was exceptional. The safari took us to the impenetrable Bwindi, Lake Bunyonyi, Murchison falls NP and Queen Elizabeth N/Park. All the hotels that SS booked for us were very good and so luxurious way beyond what we paid for. Our meals were also catered for, food allergies we had, in mind. They also arranged for 2 surprise birthday cakes for our members in the midst of the safari. I know it's not easy to organize successful safaris for such big groups, but not with Standard Safaris. Next year, I'm planning to return with my workmates, of course we'll book with them!

Serengeti in 3 days.
My husband and I did a 3 day short safari to Serengeti with this safari outfit. Mr. Ngueso, our Tanzanian tour driver / guide was very rapid with replies, with a great deal of information and cautious in driving. He did a fantastic job on time management and was also a polite person.
We spent two nights at the explore nature lodge, highly recommended. We saw all the big five on the first day; thanks to Coleb, the consultant who put this memorable trip together. I'm coming back after the pandemic to explore more amazing parks in Tanzania's northern circuit.

Overwhelmed by the service!
Lifetime safari! Simply perfect. To me, this was all about animals and culture and I was overwhelmed by how much I was able to see - more than what I expected. Thanks go to our guide who was so quick to locate and spot animals - even the most elusive ones. I think it wasn't just luck but we were in the company of the best guide and agency.

Great Round trip!
Uganda is such a nice country, with so much to see and do! Unfortunately, we had to cut our trip short and not continue to Rwanda due to corona virus pandemic, but that was not Standard Safaris' fault. We were a big group of 8 adults and our guides (Charles and Stella) always made sure every thing is in order and organized all activities and enroute experiences seamlessly! I had never taken such a comfortable and hassle-free safari, right from the booking process up to the end of the tour. We definitely recommend!

Great tour
Great tour with Standard Safaris
I traveled with standard safaris at the end of 2019 for my Xmas break and new year celebration but everything was planned to details! Right from transportation, food, activities, experiences, etc. I could easily tell that I was dealing with experienced and professional people, right from the word go!
I highly recommend them for those looking for hustle free and affordable safari experience in east Africa!

Amazing Zanzibar!
I was alone, but I got into the safe company of this agency. It felt even more immersive staying on the islands and participating in beach holidays, boat cruises, nature walks, and even seeing animals (something I never expected). Some adventure activities that I included were snorkeling and floating next to me were massive turtles and a friendly shark :))) Resorts were pretty clean, except in Nungwi island which was a bit rustic but with great staff afterall (wifi and cell signal work just perfectly here). I appreciate Standard Safaris for preparing such a hassle-free vacation for me and a combination of luxurious Zanzibar experience, including some which are off-the-beaten paths.

I can't recommend Standard Safaris!
Yes, I can't recommend this company enough! We got so lucky that we were among a few people who made it to the jungles of Bwindi that day and what more-we got to take selfies with a lovely "silverback". The next two days, we had to spend them on Lake Bunyonyi but we had to change to Kibale forest for chimpanzee trekking. Again, we appreciate Standard Safaris and our guide to be so accommodative and act flexible even when this change was so immediate! By the way, They did not charge us any extra money, apart from the chimp permits. We thank you so much for making our first safari to Uganda a memorable one!

Uganda Safari - Gone too good!!!
Standard Safaris chose for us an excellent guide (Innocent) who had excellent knowledge about wildlife, landscape, animals and culture. He took very good care of us, and he was extremely pleasant, efficient, fun and courteous. We surely couldn't enjoy Uganda without Innocent and without Standard Safaris. Overall experience was great, save for a small quarrel at one of the hotels (name withheld) between my husband and the chef who served a wrong order - but it was later resolved. Without a second thought, I recommend Standard Safaris, for everyone coming to East Africa.

EXTRAORDINARILY WONDERFUL. EVERYTHING WAS DELIVERED AS PROMISED!
We visited Uganda for 5 days in Bwindi, Bunyonyi and Queen Elizabeth National park, and continued to Rwanda for more 3 days in Nyungwe forest, all organized by Standard Safaris. Alex, our guide was not only an excellent driver but had incredible knowledge about the area. He was very thoughtful at every minute, stopping whenever he saw I was taking a picture and made the trip complete and memorable.
I highly recommend Standard Safaris and Alex as the guide!
