Fantastic 9 Day Adventure seeing all Uganda has to Offer
First and foremost, I would attribute our fantastic experience to our wonderful guide Obed. He was knowledgeable, experienced, responsible, kind, attentive to our needs, went above and beyond many times, and FUN! Chris from the office was also great and also very quick to respond to our questions and needs, he was very helpful creating our 9 day itinerary and provided us a nice detailed plan before we left. The staff from Encounter Africa were professional and timely. Now, the trip itself was absolutely AMAZING! We got to see gorillas, chimpanzees, lions in the trees, lions on the ground, lots of different animals with hooves, hippos, zebras, and a gazillion birds! Uganda is a beautiful country and we plan to return to see more of the National Parks. We will absolutely use Encounter Africa in the future when we return.

The most amazing trip of my entire life.
Words can't really describe how wonderful our trip to Africa was with Ker and Downey. Not only did we have the most memorable experience with excellent game viewings and excursions, but our lodgings were second to none, and all needs were taken care of so thoroughly. I've traveled extensively around the world and without a doubt this was the best trip I've taken and also the smoothest. I credit a lot of it to Emma Perrin, our travel agent with Ker and Downey. She kept us so informed before, during, and after the trip and made sure things went seamlessly and organized. I can't thank her enough for opening our eyes to the natural beauty and wonderful people of Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Zambia. There's no doubt that I will use Ker and Downey again for future African adventures and would request them to everyone I know thinking about venturing to Africa- and I already have. Thank you SO much! -Grant and Bekah; Memphis, TN, USA

Perfection
The communication was outstanding from start to finish. Prices were clearly laid out. Information and phone numbers for pick up at airport was fantastic. Definitely made the trip smooth and worry free.
If you are thinking about doing this trip- dont hesitate. We are back at home and still not over the experience. We will definitely go back and do it again. We saw the big 5 on our 4 day tour, what and experience! We have a new found appreciation for birds due the endless knowledge on everything in the park by our absolutely amazing tour guide Hoppy!!
Definitely worth the money and food is fantastic. I would also make sure you have a good camera. We had an old SLR and the pictures were great. A phone gets good up close but you definitely want a zoom.
Trip of a lifetime and an experience I wont forget. Thanks again Hoppy!!

I summit on Top of Africa. 6 Days Machame Route (Thanks Isack Chief Guide )
I summit on Top of Africa at Kilimanjaro last month with Safari Bando Company, and had the most amazing experience! The guides were so knowledgeable, and took great lengths to make the experience as enjoyable as possible! Health was a clear priority, which on such an expedition was very important, especially on summit day.
Overall I was extremely glad that I summated Uhuru Peak with Safari Bando Company, and had an extremely positive experience.
We highly recommended Safari Bando for trekking Kilimanjaro
