Outstanding!
The lodge was really nice and the staff were wonderful. Our Safari guide took great care of us and went out of his way to show us the wildlife. We got to see all 5 of the big 5. The drives were still fun and good for photos and sight seeing in between animal sightings which you have to be patient for. Another bonus was the food! Gourmet at every meal. Our teenage daughters had a blast as well.

They’re perfect
For a vacation that should feel like a "once in a lifetime" trip, this certainly lived up to the name. We can't thank Boris with Akondo Adventures enough for their dedication and attention to detail! From our first conversations through the trip itself, talking with Boris felt like speaking with a familiar friend. With planning, all of his recommendations were excellent, and the entire experience was magical. We went back and forth between different experiences and lodges, and Boris was accommodating to all of our questions until we had the perfect trip booked. We felt like we had 3 totally different vacations all rolled into one, and the level of service along the way was unparalleled. Between the lodgings, the locations, the food, the adventure, and the amount of time recommended for each portion of the trip, we really felt like Boris somehow put together everything that we didn't quite know how to articulate about what we would hope to see in a honeymoon, and translated it all into the perfect trip. Throughout the trip Boris always checked in and let us know any updates along the way. Thank you!

Smooth booking, tour as described in the booking voucher
Amazing experience, tour guide Alex was very nice to us and he made his utmost to find animals for us and he explained as much as he could. The stay in the lodge was pleasant. I would highly recommend to book with Sunnycreek Safaris.

Soul of Tanzania comes very highly recommended!!!
Soul of Tanzania is an absolute gem when needing help to visit Tanzania for wildlife safaris. We travelled from India for a 6-night safari game drive tour to Tarangire and Serengeti parks and Soul of Tanzania did all the arrangements for us. We stayed with Asilia camps on their game packages and connected to the parks through flights.
The coordination and responsiveness of the SOT team is absolutely amazing. Every email would be responded to within a max of 24 hours and every doubt/question was addressed with care and patience. All arrangements for meet and greet were made flawlessly. All camp bookings and safari flights were handled by them and the payment terms and payment schedule was also very convenient.
If anyone is planning a game package with some of the top lodges in the Tanzania wildlife safari circuit, I can say that you can safely and blindly trust SOT to do all the arrangements for you. They are one of the very best in Tanzania and I hope to travel again with them to other parts of Africa very soon. We cannot be more grateful to SOT for making our trip a memorable one.

Look past the ONE bad review in TripAdvisor and look at the MANY great reviews!
Jun 2024 • Solo
I booked my trip May 13, 2024 for a June 2024 trip with Lulu Safaris Uganda not knowing much about their company other than their SPECTACULAR reviews. When EVERYONE is giving great reviews it says a lot about a company. I do remember seeing that ONE bad review on TripAdvisor from Madjula. There’s always one bad apple out there. When looking for a GREAT COMPANY to use for a safari or gorilla tracking don’t base your decision on this bad review. Look past it like me as there are MANY spectacular one’s. Mine included. I’ve traveled many times to Africa doing safaris and climbing Kilimanjaro. I can’t stress enough how important it is to judge for yourself when reading reviews. Had I not booked because of her bad review I would’ve missed out on a once in a lifetime adventure. In reading ALL of the reviews the guide she mentions as terrible was talked about positively in MANY of the reviews. I personally find it horrendous that such a negative review was given. An unhappy person trying to pull everyone down.
As for my review: it was nothing but exceptional. I booked my trip on a whim and Elvis, the owner of Lulu Safaris, was terrific. I changed my itinerary last minute and everything was still okay. He and his wife had my permits within a day. I did the gorilla habituation and regular tracking on my trip. It was a dream come true. As for air conditioning as Madjula complained about was no big deal. It’s Africa! You’re here for an adventure not to be pampered as if you’re in your own country. Live life and roll with the punches. Of the two hotels that I stayed at one had ac and one didn’t. Oh well! The one without was Bweza Gorilla Lodge. What the Lodge had was great people. Gavis and Judith made me feel so welcome and cared for. We had fires at night and had good fun. As I said, air conditioning isn’t a big deal. The fresh breeze was beautiful! The people make a difference not air conditioning. As for my guides I can’t say enough good about them. Charles and Stuart are their names. Incredible people! Charles is wise, super funny, a comedian, a dancer and an all around great person. He loves his job and communicating with his clients. It definitely shows. Stuart is a great photographer, soft spoken yet knowledgeable about many things. He’s caring and quite thoughtful. He gave me a gift at the end of my trip that is so meaningful. I will remember these “FRIENDS” for a lifetime. I tracked the gorillas with Stuart and he took many beautiful pictures of the trip. I’m truly going to miss the fun times! But as we all know all good things must come to an end unfortunately.
I’d like to thank Elvis, his wife, Charles, Stuart, Gavis, Judith for making my trip to Uganda very memorable. So much so that I cried at the end of my adventure.
I can go in and on but the moral of the story is that Lulu Safaris Uganda is a great company with great guides. They’re professional, funny, caring and love what they do!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
