Exceeded my most optimistic expectations!
Serengeti Wakanda Tours was the first company that responded to my quote request (I sent three, as was recommended by safaribookings). From the very beginning, my communication with these wonderful young people was so easy, that I decided not to look any further. Further on, the feeling of being in good hands was only growing. From discussing technical details to confirming final arrangements of the trip, the communication was so smooth, held in such a warm and friendly manner, that by the time I got on the plane I knew I was going on one of the most exciting trips in my life. And indeed, that what this five-day safari trip was! Not only because Serengeti is a huge and beautiful national park full of wild life, where I happened to be during the migration season; and Ngorongoro appeared to look and feel like a combination of a paradise and the Noah's Ark, with "every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort":) That of course! But hadn't been the tour organized so thoroughly, and hadn't my hosts taken such a good care of me, I probably wouldn't have such wonderful memories of this first safari in my life. Thank you, dear Batho and Carlson, for this wonderful trip, for all the little extras you provided for me (having wine with every dinner was very nice, and I would not have been able to explore Arusha without you and Olivia). Thank you, guys for your professionalism and for such a caring attitude to your clients!

Super nice!
The whole trip was wonderful. Everything was well organised. We had a very well organised driver and guide. He was always on time and he communicated well with us. The accomodation was beyond our expectations. The safari tents were beautiful. The view and scenery along the way were spectacular. We saw lots of animals including 4 of the big Five-excluding Leopards!The cultural visit by the Karamajong people was special and gave us some insight about their beautiful culture. We had the time of our lives.

The Uzuri team went above and beyond to create a truly magical safari for us. Trip of a lifetime!
The Uzuri team's communication and customer service was exceptional from day one through to the end of our safari. As someone who has traveled extensively, I appreciated how thoughtful, responsive and caring the team was and how well they took care of our needs. We had a group of four, ranging in age from 30's - 70's and they made sure everyone had a great time. The places we stayed in Uganda were carefully chosen for their location, quality and stunning backdrops (from Queen Elizabeth National Park to Kibale to Bwindi to Lake Bunyonyi). I loved the itinerary they arranged and the care they took to ensure we experienced the very best of the wildlife / game drives / hiking with mountain gorillas and chimpanzees, as well as seeing local communities (including a visit to a salt mine) and some of the best local cuisine I've ever had in all my trips to East Africa. We especially appreciated having Samuel Wako as our expert safari guide. He made the entire trip fun, engaging, lively and inspiring.Thank you, asante sana, webale, neyanzizah to the whole Uzuri team!

Just awesome!!!!
We actually contacted Ker & Downey from Sweden because of their good reputation and we then got contact with Sarah Morris ! She is the one that manager to arrange this trip to a memorable, wonderful , one-in-your-lifetime experience!
We are not that easy because of all our demands and requests but she took care of it all and manager to arrange everything we wished for!
We started in wonderful Oyster Box outside Durban and then continued to Phinda Mountain Lodge and after 3 great days we flew to Sabi Sands! We finally spent 6 nights on Azura Benguerra Island ! She gave us good advice all along and she was always very easy to reach both before the trip and even during our trip! We had actually a back-up 24 hours which we never had to use because everything was so perfectly planned!
So we can definitely recommend Ker & Downey and definitely Sarah Morris if you want to have a perfect arrangement for your Journey !!!

An incredible family holiday to South Africa
We have just returned from a wonderful tour of South Africa. It was incredible. Rose arranged an amazing trip for us and we loved every minute. We were looked after from start to finish and it was truly a luxury safari experience.
Rose really knows Africa inside and out and and she is always there to answer any question you may have, literally in minutes! I felt really confident that everything would go smoothly and it did. A really fantastic trip, thank you Rose.

Authentic & unforgettable
The visit to Karamoja villages was very last minute from my side but Paul saw to it that everything was perfect and picked up dinner on the way. He was an excellent guide and translater, never too much or too little, always adding interesting stories. To stay a night with the nomadic shepherds in the kraal was the highlight of my Uganda visit (it tops even Kidepo National Park). The connection was incredible and we were even lucky to join a late night engagement party nearby with amazing song & dance. I recommend Karamojan Wilderness Expedition to everyone who wants to have a true taste of Uganda.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Found Bird's Nest Safaris through a friend and never regretted choosing this company and entrusted our Uganda Holiday program planning with Patience.
Patience is very hands-on, reliable, accurate and most importantly quick in response and fixing things. Upon arrival, Patience and our drive guide Ben were at the Airport to welcome us which warmed our hearts and made us feel at home in our very first day in Uganda.
We truly enjoyed our 14 days and 13 nights in Uganda everything ran smoothly.
The Gorillas and Chimpanzees were remarkably fulfilling. We are glad that we managed to see the families with the help of the friendly,very encouraging park rangers and porters. Patience did a good job in arranging our accommodations around the Lakes, Mountains and falls. The views were fascinating and the weather was nice and comfortable.
We will definitely recommend more friends and come back to Africa for another safari and Bird's Nest Safaris/Patience will be our go-to company/Person to plan our next adventure. We are thankful to Patience and Ben for the friendship and hospitality.
Keep it up the good work Patience and the Team, see you soon and God bless!
