Professional and expert tour company
As a single female traveler, I felt very safe and cared for during my trip to Murchison Falls. Jennifer was patient with my many questions during booking. Noah is a safe and expert driver and very knowledgeable as a guide. He located many animals on our game drives and I learned so much about each of them. I hope to return to Uganda to explore the other national parks and I will book again with Peak Cruise Safaris.

The tour operator was excellent!
We had an amazing safari experience. Our tour guide Jon was very experienced and knowledgeable. He helped us spot animals and gave us wonderful opportunities to take photos. He also shared a lot of information regarding the animals and the habitats. He was also so kind and he made sure we were comfortable.

An adventurous and memorable safari with comfortable village accommodation!
As a solo female travel, I felt extremely safe in the care of Bongan Safaris. From pick-up at my hotel accommodation to all activities and safaris, everything was well planned and I felt taken care of. Bongani is very accommodating and treats guest like family. My guide for the Panorama Route, Village Tour, and majority of my safari drives was Charlie. Charlie is extremely knowledgeable about the local landscape, animals, and village culture. He had an answer to every one of my questions. Within my first 24 with Bongan Safaris, I saw the Big 5! The guides at Bongan Safaris are experts in spotting these animals and getting you positioned for the best possible picture.
Overall, every aspect of the 5 day, 4 night experience was well thought out. Example of this include but aren’t limited to: blankets provided on early morning/evening drives, South African to European adapter provided in the room, organized bushwalk with national park rangers, well rounded meals that varied every... Read more night, etc.
Highly recommended Bongan Safaris to all travels. They are extremely accommodating and will ensure you’ll have the best safari experience!

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... Read more 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... Read more 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.
