Professional and caring
I had a great time during my trip and am so grateful to Innocent for the care and effort he put into making my trip an absolute success.
The trip as recommended by Speke was well balanced, adapted to my areas of interest and will leave a lasting impact. The properties that Speke chose were high quality and good value for money, and made for a truly exceptional experience.
Innocent was a great guide: punctual and consummate professional, attentive and caring. I'm a solo female traveler and Innocent was particularly attentive to my safety, even going the extra mile and joining in on excursions when he felt it was necessary to keep a watchful eye on me.
All in, a fantastic trip and I will certainly book again with Speke

Quite better than your expectations!
He gave us an unforgettable bird watching tour! Every member of our 5-person staff says it was the best bird watching experience they have ever had.
The inclusion of a local guide in addition to the existing guide for each area increased the observation quality to the highest level.
Herbert won our hearts with the surprising improvements he made during the tour. We were amazed by how he transformed our hotel in Kibale into a much better hotel without our knowledge. Even though we did not have a hotel before the flight on the last day, he arranged a place for us to stay with dinner.
We enjoyed every moment with zero problems. Highly recommended

Trip of a lifetime -17 day Uganda Safari.
Tubale Safaris exceeded our expectations, from our initial enquiry, the booking process, and accomodating our request to extend the trip by 3 days.
We booked mid range accommodation and was pleasantly surprised as to the quality of the accommodation and the excellent food provided by each lodge.
The game drives were amazing, thank you Jamal our driver/guide who was very patient and readily stopped so we could take photos. We saw leopards, lions, elephants, buffalo, monkeys, antelopes we walked with the rhino at the sanctuary and walked amongst the zebra and giraffes. Jamal was very good at spotting the wildlife, even when they were hidden up a tree.
The trek to see the chimpanzees was an amazing experience.
The highlight was our tour was the trek to see the family of Mountain Gorillas spending one hour with this family of Gorillas was amazing.
We had an unforgettable 17 days and would definitely recommend Tubale Safaris.
We are already planning our return trip.
Thank you Annette and Jamal

Professional and prompt
Sun Safaris were incredibly helpful when organising our first ever safari experience. Natasha provided an excellent trip for us, that was within our budget whilst also providing a very tailored/intimate experience! She was extremely prompt to communicate with and readily replied to our emails. Our transfers between accommodation/the airport were also seamless which was a huge relief! We stayed for 4 nights at Nsala Lodge which was perfect for our group, at times having the whole lodge to ourselves. Thank you Sun Safaris for an amazing trip!

maximun attention to everything!
my assistant Anja was fantastic, in everything. Very quick in contact, already during the planning she gave me advice but also followed my instructions on what I wanted. And she's nice as well as competent. But above all, during the trip he solved various problems for me (not regarding reservations, we didn't have any problems with this!) that I would not have been able to handle alone. This was very important. I will never thank her enough. I would recommend Great Exploration Namibia to everyone.

Holiday of a lifetime
planned a last minute Kenya Safari as a family of 4. From the moment we contacted Super Eagles, Chanson gave us options of different safaris. We initially wanted to do a private mid-range safari, however due to places being booked up so close to visiting, we opted for a budget private safari. Chanson booked all our hotels / tents, which though basic were clean and had good meals with friendly staff. He also helped us book our SGR to and from Mombasa and arranged for a driver to pick us up at Mombasa to take us to our hotel. Chanson was in touch with us throughout and very helpful. Our guide Jackson was also amazing. He himself was from Maasai and when in the Mara he knew most of the rangers and people. He was able to spot animals minutes before we could even see them! He had an exceptional eye and knew exactly where to go. We saw 11 lionesses, 4 cubs, 6 cheetahs, 3 hyenas as well as all the herbivores all on the first day in the Mara. Our next stop was Naivasha where we cycled at Hell’s Gate which was an amazing experience. We also went on a boat trip on the lake where we saw birds like pelicans and eagles at close range. Nakuru was a pleasant surprise for us as we didn’t know much about it before we went. We saw many animals including the Cape buffalo but the icing on the cake was the rhinos especially the baby one and a male lion. We ended our trip in Amboseli where we saw the giant elephants plus many more animals. We just missed a pride of lions and had a small glimpse of a cheetah but were not disheartened as we had seen saw much in our few days already. We saw 4 of the big 5 during our safari and we had an exceptional time and couldn’t believe how refreshed we felt each day! A huge thank you to Chanson for organising the trip and to Jackson who was the nicest guide we could have asked for. My kids absolutely loved him and his knowledge of where the animals were was absolutely mind boggling. A truly memorable experience!

Greg Adventures - An Amazing Safari!
Greg Adventures prepared and delivered an amazing safari experience for my wife and I, perfect as part of the celebrations for our wedding anniversary, and a trip we'd always longed to make. From start to finish, the organisation, communication, payment, planning, fitting in around our schedule, suggesting ideas, airport pick up, etc and so on...everything was brilliantly handled, and with great responsiveness to my millions of questions (thank you!).
Some hints and tips:
1) Take binoculars, one set per person. Most animals you can see without bins, however, the big cats are often more elusive.
2) Be ready for some long days in a Toyota Landcruiser, and be sure to have used the facilities before you set off.
3) Be ready for seeing wildlife that will exceed all expectations, never stop looking.
4) Consider a day by the pool or on the beach at the end of the trip...you'll be tired and dusty...
5) Take a minimum 4 days on safari but if you're really short on time then probably stick to Tanzania, e.g. Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire.
6) And most of all, book your trip with Greg Adventures!!!
Every day was just more and more amazing, after thinking we'd seen it all on days 1 and 2, we were just constantly blown away by the sheer number of animals we could see, literally thousands upon thousands upon thousands, of all sorts.
Our highlights were the elephants and giraffes, but seeing the wildebeest on migration, a lion cub, eight black rhino, plus leopard, lion and cheetah, and all the rest on top was incredible.
The guides were also amazing, Fred in Tanzania and Joe in Kenya especially great. Fabulous, kind, friendly, happy, knowledgeable, informative and engaging guys, both with terrific senses of humour - we really enjoyed being with them and they were such great fun to be with. They turned an already great trip into a truly fabulous trip! That would be hint and tip 7...ask for Fred and Joe!
Accommodations were very good, especially in Tanzania. The experience of a luxury tent actually on the Serengeti with the hyenas whistling in the night, the footsteps of lions and the grumbling of buffalo...definitely nights never to be forgotten.
If you're thinking about a safari...then go for it...and seriously take a look at Greg Adventures, they genuinely did not disappoint!

Most friendly, reliable and responsible tour operator which is locally based
I had been with a team member of Mugenyi Eco-Tours before twice and thus chose the company for my tour to Queen Elizabeth parc this time again, because I highly appreciate the manner they treat customers and this time in addition (new company) the idea of a sustainable tourism. So going on a safari is not only watching animals on game drives or guided tours, but the feeling to be a guest and come close to the local life and people. So they spent time with us during dinners, showed us places explaining the life of local people living in this area, discussing all aspects of life in Uganda, so I got the feeling of having really been in this country and not only a leisure parc. I especially liked the community walk through a village and its plantations seeing how various types of vegetables and fruit are grown next to each other and learning a lot about how bananas, coffee, cacoa and vanilla and many more are grown. I also like the idea of organizing the tours with respect to the environment, be it nature or man. So you can borrow reusable bottles and refill your drinking water from big cans instead of using a lot of small plastic bottles, which is unfortunately very common. You can select your lodges also following such aspects, so we stayed in a very nice lodge that followed the same principles. In general, our tour was built according to our wishes (e.g. including walks, not only drives), and the communication was very smooth. I would recommend this tour operator as for all this great experience you really do not pay a lot. Most of the money is for the parc fees anyway.
