Phenomenal.
Me and my friend booked a 3-day 2-night gorilla trekking trip from Adventures To Gorrila Africa, and it was absolutely amazing.
- Quick response
Hours after submitting our request for a quote, we received an informative email containing everything that we needed.
The staff added me on WhatsApp and every time when I asked questions(and some were silly ) about the coming trip, he replied very quickly.
- Fantastic arrangement
Based on our demands (landed in Kigali but thought the gorilla permit in Rwanda was too expensive), they provided a tour which departed from Kigali but trekked gorillas in Uganda(where the permit costed less than half).
From meals to accommodation, everything was well organised. I was worried about the accommodations because we chose the budget option but they turned out to be more than expected.
The buffet lunch in Kigali, and the dinner in Ruhengeri were very enjoyable.
- Safe driving
Our guide Rogers drove very carefully throughout the trip, especially in the mountainous areas in Uganda.
- knowledgeable and considerate guide
Rogers is a knowledgeable and considerate person. He introduced not only animals but social, economy and politics of Uganda and Rwanda on the road, which enhanced our understanding of the two countries. He parked in every scenic spots for us to take pictures.
Thanks Rogers and Thanks Adventures To Gorrila Africa, hopefully we’ll see you again soon.

Tailormade Africa made our safari experience seamless and wonderful
I had a fantastic experience with Tailormade Africa, travelling to Botswana on a mobile safari with 2 friends.
Clyde was super helpful throughout the booking process and made everything simple. The information and instructions received in advance of the trip were comprehensive and clear. Whilst we were there I know in the background he was making sure everything was running smoothly - which it was - and he personally checked in on us sometimes too.
The trip itself was incredible. Clyde and the team, with their great knowledge and experience, had planned everything perfectly and chosen only the best partners to look after us during our trip.
Overall, I would thoroughly recommend Tailormade Africa to anyone looking for an extremely special safari experience.

The Best Best Tour with the best guide Thom
We had a very fantastic experience of the safari tour with the excellent tour guide, Thom!
When we contacted this tour operator at the first time, Thom’s react was very fast and correct. We felt this operator very reliable, then we decided to request the tour.
During the tour, Thom’s hospitality was very good. He was very kind, his preparation was perfect, his explanation was always helpful for us to understand.
We could see everything what we want, such as the big migration, lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos and so on.
Accommodation was also very nice, meals was very nice.
I strongly recommend this tour operator with Thom to everybody who is looking for the best tour.

A Dream Journey Through Rwanda and Uganda
In June 2024, my partner and I embarked on an unforgettable journey through Rwanda and Uganda, meticulously planned and executed by Grassrootz. The trip was seamlessly divided into two parts: a week in Rwanda followed by two weeks in Uganda.
Planning and Preparation
From the outset, Sander from Grassrootz proved to be an invaluable asset. He took the time to understand our preferences and crafted an itinerary that perfectly balanced authenticity and comfort. His recommendations for hotels and lodges were spot-on, each offering a unique blend of local charm and modern amenities. This attention to detail ensured that every night’s stay was as memorable as the day’s adventures.
Exceptional Guide and Unmatched Experiences
Our driver and guide, Barnice, was nothing short of exceptional. His expertise in spotting wildlife during game drives was remarkable—we were thrilled to see the Big 5 and countless other animals. Barnice’s deep knowledge of his country’s wildlife and culture added a rich layer of insight to our journey. His warm, friendly demeanor made us feel welcome and safe throughout the trip.
Highlights and Daily Adventures
Every day brought new wonders, but certain highlights stand out:
- Trek to Dian Fossey's Tomb: A poignant and inspiring experience, connecting us to the legacy of one of the most influential primatologists.
- Gorilla Family in Bwindi: An awe-inspiring encounter with a gorilla family, a moment of profound connection with nature.
- Chimpanzee Tracking in Kibale: The thrill of tracking chimpanzees in their natural habitat was exhilarating and unforgettable.
- Murchison Falls: The sheer power and beauty of the falls left us speechless.
Beyond these standout moments, each day was filled with new animals and stunning landscapes. We also cherished the cultural experiences, especially our visits to the Batwa and Karamajong villages. These interactions provided a deeper understanding of the diverse cultures and traditions of the region.
Safety and Comfort
Throughout the journey, we felt completely safe, thanks to the meticulous planning and the expertise of Barnice. The balance of adventure and comfort was perfectly maintained, making it a truly worry-free experience.
Conclusion
Grassrootz, with Sander’s expert planning and Barnice’s exceptional guidance, turned our dream into reality. This trip was truly the adventure of a lifetime, a tapestry of unforgettable moments and discoveries. We left Rwanda and Uganda with hearts full of gratitude and memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a travel experience that combines authentic local experiences with unparalleled comfort and safety, Grassrootz is the agency to choose.

3 day safari tour
Our tour guide, Jack, is very nice, patient, professional, and knowledgeable of local flora and fauna. We learnt a lot from Jack. He knows almost all kinds of birds, trees and animals we found on the way. We feel very safe and enjoyable during 3 day safari tour. He knows exactly where and when to find animals and always have best spots for us to watch the wildlife.
Highly recommend Jack and the Axis Africa Safaris tour company. Definitely will book another tour with Jack and the company next time.

WORRY FREE ISSUES - would come back!
We had an INCREDIBLE experience with Long Way Expeditions! Our guide was Tuma (Mr. T) and HIGHLY recommended. He has a wildlife degree, has been completing safaris for over 18 years, and very knowledgeable in all the SAFE, friendly, and clean areas. We were able to see all animals that were on our list AND not have our Land Rover jeep breakdown. I recommend looking into an experienced driver during your safari as the roads are VERY steep, rocky, muddy, and edgy. We saw many other safari companies have their jeep break down due to poor vehicle maintenance, inexperienced drivers, and lack of knowledge in general; leaving those clients stranded. We have ZERO ISSUES and a FANTASTIC WORRY FREE experience. Would DEFINITELY COME BACK! Thanks Anne!
