5 Night Safari
Safari Star Tours helped plan out our five night safari that took us through Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our tour guide and founder of Safari Start Tours, Roger, was the best we could have asked for. He was super knowledgeable about all the animals and birds, and had extra material in the car to help us identify even more.
This was not our first safari but it was certainly our best thanks to Safari Star Tours. I highly recommend them.

Wonderful experience
We enjoyed a wonderful climbing on the Kilimajaro mountain. It was one of the best experiences in our life. The guides were very good and we had a excellent assistance. Best compliment at the chef (fresh and vaired food) and the waiter ( always present). In Arusha Roberto organized a short safari for us at the moment with a perfect guide. Ngorongoro is absolutely worth seeing. We recommend savannah for the excellent organization and because they also speak Italian!

Life Changing Philanthropy Experience
My life changed after visiting the beauty of Zambia in ways I was not expecting. I saw everything from a tiny bee to the magnificent elephant and met kind and electrifying local people of all ages. Being with Dazzle Africa sparked a wonder and thirst to educate myself on the lifestyles of children who didn’t have the luxuries I had growing up, such as eating healthy meals. Mostly, Dazzle Africa reignited my passion to save animals from unnecessary suffering by educating us about the dangers of poaching. I am forever grateful to the leaders who head Dazzle Africa for helping me fall in love with Africa so deeply that I’ve been twice!

Great safari with great company!
Journey started with planning. I reviewed a lot of proposals on Safaribookings and liked the one proposed by Soul of Tanzania. Unfortunately it was only for 4 days and I wanted for 6 days. I sent a request for custom journey with some personal wishes and immediately got and answer from Sandy with the custom proposal. We discusses many detals before the trip, Sandy always answers immediately.
Then we made a payment and came to Kilimanjaro. Our guide Edward (a real professional!) met us in the airport. After this moment we could relax and thought only about which animal we can see today)).
We could see leopards twice, one time even with kids. We've seen cheetahs, many lions, elephants and many other animals.
We had no one issue during our journey. Just relaxed, didn't worry about anything. It's very important for us that the journey was exactly how we planned, no even minor changes. Accomodation as planned (I could check the ratings beforehand on Tripadvisor), planned routes. No surprises!
Clean and new car, as many water as I need, and I espessially like hot meals for lunch instead of lunch box.
There was a power socket in the car, we could charge camera batteries and phones. It's very important as our Serengeti camp had problems with charging.
We took standard accomodation variant and found all camps and lodges quite acceptable. The staff was friendly and rooms comfortable.
Next time I will go to safari only with Soul of Tanzania.

Uniglobe was professional and accommodating -- a pleasure to work with!
Simon Njuguna gave us a number of options within our price range, with detailed information about each and very clear instructions about how to proceed with making our booking, including flights, payment plan, etc. We had a wonderful experience in the Masai Mara at Basecamp Masai Mara -- beautiful natural and cultural experience of the Mara. Thanks for all your assistance in making it happen, Simon!

Very well organised, excelent guide.
We got high level of service from the beginning til the end of our tour. Fully met our expectation.
We received all necessary information each day - where we go, what kind of animals we can see, when is the best time for game drive.... Our driver recpected our request - stay longer on one place makin more photos.
Selected hotels were perfect and our guide helped us during the check in.
All our questions about animals and Kenya life were ansvered also during the way from park to park and to he final destintion in Mobasa.

Unforgettable self drive safari well planned!
We booked a 16 day self driving tour, starting in Kampala and going via lake Mburo, Bwindi Impenetrable, Queen Elizabeth Kibale and Murchison Falls around the country. It was really worth travelling to Uganda both for the nature and the people, who were very friendly and open. Highlights of our tour were the Gorilla tracking, the chimpansee tracking and a balloon flight at the end. All accomodations were nice with friendly staff and good food, and situated in good locations with stunning views.
Chameleon Hill Lodge made us dream of living there because you can swim in the lake, the climate is not too hot and a lot of activties around.
The whole tour was well prepared by ACROSS Africa, they were also very helpful when we needed support (we had some trouble with our car), so we will definitely book them again.

Amazing Safari
I have nothing but positive things to say about axis and the safari. I was in no way expecting to see everything on such a short Safari but our guide Evans was truly exceptional in his delivery and knowledge. I will be booking another safari with this group this year. Absolutely amazing experience and worth every penny. The team really did go above and beyond my expectations. I left a camera lens in a camp by accident and the team didn’t delay in posting the lens to where I was working for 6 weeks in Kenya. Exceptional service.

6 Day trip with Kajie Safaris
Incredible week in Uganda with my great guide Ronald from Kajie Safaris. Ronald is prompt to answering emails, lets the schedule be flexible (we had an extra game drive on my last day so I wouldn't have to wait in the airport for my late night returning flight), knows the local history and culture, and can provide options for all price ranges. If there is something extra you want to do or something you don't want to do, just tell him. He has visited so many game lodges and restaurants throughout Uganda firsthand, so he can recommend whatever you are looking for. His safari vehicle has fast wifi, a charging station for cameras/phones, and a roof that pops open for taking pictures on the game drives. Ronald was with me from my airport arrival to my airport departure.
My trip was a 6 day adventure which turned out to be a private safari as I travelled by myself. Of course, the gorilla trekking experience is a must and was the pinnacle of my vacation. Although I booked rather late (about 1 month before departure), Ronald was able to obtain the required permits and even recommended which trekking group I should go with depending on the ease or difficulty of the trekking. (I requested a more challenging experience but you can opt for a more moderate trek as well). There is simply too much to describe in writing about my Ugandan trip, so I recommend you experience it for yourself. My only regret was that I had just 1 week; aim for 2 weeks!
