I want to highly recommend Usoke Explorers. It’s such a reliable and trustworthy travel agency!
5/5

This Kenya Safari trip has been absolutely unforgettable! Huge thanks to our travel consultant Trucy and our guide Solomon.
My friend and I traveled together. This was our first trip out of Asia, so traveling to Africa was a totally new and unfamiliar experience for us. We checked quotes from many travel agencies before booking, and we’re so glad we chose Usoke. Trucy was super professional, incredibly patient and detail-oriented. I had so many worries and questions before the trip, and she always took the time to answer everything thoroughly.
Our guide Solomon was amazing too. Most people might think that the whole trip would be straightforward and predictable, but the best part of traveling is those unexpected little moments!
At one point, I forgot my SIM card PIN code and locked my phone completely. I had no internet and couldn’t contact my family for half a day. Thankfully, Solomon helped me sort it out! He found the local telecom provider and reset my PIN code, so I got my phone working again.
That was just a small little hiccup. Overall, the scenery and wildlife in the national parks were absolutely incredible — totally different from anything you can see in China. This is truly the magic of Africa!

Great service, kind people
5/5

We had a really great experience renting a car with a rooftop tent and camping gear from this company. From the beginning, everything was very well organised and communication was easy and smooth. The car was comfortable and reliable, and the rooftop tent and camping equipment were in good condition and had everything we needed for our trip. It made travelling and camping so much easier and allowed us to really enjoy the adventure without having to worry about bringing or buying all the necessary equipment ourselves.

We did have one issue with the car during our trip, but this was handled extremely well. The owner was very reachable, responded quickly and did everything he could to help us solve the problem as soon as possible. We really appreciated how involved and helpful he was, especially as having car trouble while travelling can otherwise be quite stressful. Thanks to his quick response and good communication, the situation was resolved smoothly and did not have a major impact on our trip.

Overall, we were very happy with both the car and the service. The combination of the car, rooftop tent and camping gear was perfect for our adventure, and the excellent communication and support made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole rental period. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable car with a rooftop tent and camping equipment, especially if you want a company that is helpful, flexible and easy to reach. We would happily rent from them again!

Joshua was an exceptional guide during my tour of Queen Elizabeth National Park. His deep knowledge and engaging stories brought the park to life, and his friendly personality and excellent customer service made the experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend him.

Absolutely Fabulous East Africa Tour Experience, Usoke Explorers made us feel like family!
5/5

My boyfriend and I traveled with Usoke Explorers through Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. We had a fabulous experience with Usoke Explorers, in particular its founder and owner, Andrew. Before our trip, he spent a lot of time working on our itinerary and adjusting it to our needs and desires, even significantly cutting costs for us wherever he could. On the trip, he made us feel like family right from the start; we were always laughing and having fun. Additionally, Andrew knew sooo much about the various cultures, villages, parks, and animals and shared with us a lot of his knowledge. It was so clear that Andrew loves what he does.

In addition to Andrew, the other local guides and drivers that took us on our Safaris and drove us all day from place to place were ALL fabulous. Steven who drove us for a couple days in Tanzania was really kind, knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Medad, who was our guide on the Tanzania safaris was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, he was so thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable, and passionate, and proactive; you didn’t have to ask him to move closer or get a better view of the animals, he just did it and he always knew where to find the hard to spot animals. Next, Washington was our driver and guide in Kenya. He was very fun to be with, always joking around but also teaching us so much about Kenya and the various cultures and animals within it. We greatly enjoyed our time with him and felt we learned a lot. Finally, Allen drove 8 hours from Kampala to meet us with the car at the Ugandan border only to take the public bus back that night as we continued onto Sipi Falls, we weren’t with him for long but we enjoyed the time we spent with him and are so grateful for his time and help in ensuring a smooth journey for us.

Overall, Andrew and his team catered to our every need, including calling hotels ahead to let them know my food allergies and ensuring we were comfortable and happy with our beds and showers.

Andrew can take you anywhere and do pretty much anything in East Africa for a good price! We were in great hands and I can’t recommend Andrew and his team enough!
