Perfection
The communication was outstanding from start to finish. Prices were clearly laid out. Information and phone numbers for pick up at airport was fantastic. Definitely made the trip smooth and worry free.
If you are thinking about doing this trip- dont hesitate. We are back at home and still not over the experience. We will definitely go back and do it again. We saw the big 5 on our 4 day tour, what and experience! We have a new found appreciation for birds due the endless knowledge on everything in the park by our absolutely amazing tour guide Hoppy!!
Definitely worth the money and food is fantastic. I would also make sure you have a good camera. We had an old SLR and the pictures were great. A phone gets good up close but you definitely want a zoom.
Trip of a lifetime and an experience I wont forget. Thanks again Hoppy!!

I summit on Top of Africa. 6 Days Machame Route (Thanks Isack Chief Guide )
I summit on Top of Africa at Kilimanjaro last month with Safari Bando Company, and had the most amazing experience! The guides were so knowledgeable, and took great lengths to make the experience as enjoyable as possible! Health was a clear priority, which on such an expedition was very important, especially on summit day.
Overall I was extremely glad that I summated Uhuru Peak with Safari Bando Company, and had an extremely positive experience.
We highly recommended Safari Bando for trekking Kilimanjaro

10-day wildlife safari in Uganda - birds, gorillas, chimpanzees, and more!
Birding in Paradise set up and executed a fantastic Uganda visit for my wife and me! From the first contact nearly a year before the trip, I knew that Johnnie and Agnes Kamugisha would be terrific hosts. They listened to my feedback on initial versions of their itineraries and they made sure that we would maximize our time there. While Johnnie is an elite bird guide, he knew that the first reason I wanted to visit Uganda was to see mountain gorillas. The itinerary worked birding around the gorillas, and we also worked in a day for chimpanzee trekking. The itinerary also included visits to Mabamba Swamp to see the mighty shoebill, Lake Mburo National Park to find African finfoot, Ruhija for mountain gorilla trekking and birding, and Queen Elizabeth National Park for more birding, looking for lions, and chimpanzee trekking. I knew Johnnie had amazing attention to detail when he met us at the airport and said he was tracking our flight status live so he could be there at the right time. The places we stayed, Lake Victoria View Guest House, Rwakobo Rock, Trekker's Tavern, and Bush Lodge were all perfect for our budget. The food was great, and each place took care to ensure we had a good experience. From Bush Lodge, our deck looked out to the Kazinga channel with elephants and hippos! Johnnie is, simply put, an incredible birder. He has an amazing ear, and he helped us spot, identify, and list 353 species of birds, something special for a 10-day trip. He also knows the mammals, reptiles, and amphibians one might encounter while birding. He drove us safely for 1,000s of kilometers around the country in a well-stocked 4x4, including a cool box, plenty of water, and a power outlet to charge all our gadgets. He always paid attention to what was happening with our activities to ensure we would have the best experience. All of this was done in a way that met our budget perfectly. I recommend Johnnie and Agnes unreservedly to plan your East Africa adventure!

The trip to Tangarire and Ngorogoro was fantastic.
Two of us went on the weekend safari to Tangarire and Ngorogoro. Don had just climbed Kilimanjaro so was looking for R&R. I have a long attachment to Africa.
The trip was astonishing from the first entry into Tangarire. Settling down by a watering hole were a pride of lions snoozing after a kill. But they hadn't counted on this Bull elephant wanting a drink! What a show watching the Bull chase away the lions much to the relief of thirsty zebra and wildebeest. The trip continued in brilliant fashion thanks to the knowledge and keen eyesight of our driver.
The organisation of the trip was ideal with an overnight stay at a lodge complete with bar good food and swimming pool.
Phil the director of Aardvark went out of his way to a accomodate our needs for the trip.
I would highly recommend this company to everyone.

Great day tour of a condensed park
We had the driver David and my friend and I thought the tour was great. However, we requested an early pick up at 5:30am to arrive at the gate earlier to beat crowds. They suggested pick up at 6:15am and by the time we cleared the main gate and started the safari it was 7:20am thus losing 1 hour of quality early morning game drive.

Superb Gorillas Trip
We did the Gorillas Trip to Bwindi with Devine Africa Safaris and we got more than we bargained for literally. The whole experience was second to none and we got it for a smaller cost than the quotes we had been given by international operators.
Nicholas is a smart and respectful gentleman who made our trip worthwhile. He made everything easy for us and provided us with all the information that we needed; VISA information, packing list, vaccinations and park information so that by the time we were coming to Uganda we knew all what was required.
The pickup from the airport was on time and the punctuality continued all during the trip.
We had Chris as our guide and he was very good, made sure that we saw all the animals that we wanted, kept our date with the cultural dancers in Mutanda and he is a good orator who captivated us with great narrations.I will give Devine Africa Safaris top marks for delivering on their promise to showcase Uganda, coming up with a well organized and sequential itinerary and hosting us well.
Highly recommended!!

Savannah Sound Safaris provided one of the best experiences I have had, everything was perfect.
We had an excellent trip with Savannah Sound Safaris. The organization before the trip was great and hassle free and the subsequent safari was brilliant.
The choices we were offered were fantastic and varied and after we went with their recommendations we saw a large variety of animals in the various parks.
Our Guide Danson was very professional, spoke excellent English and had a very high level of knowledge about the animals in the parks.
The accommodation he organized for us was also excellent and everything we did ran smoothly and efficiently.
He made our safari into a very memorable experience. Once we were picked up until we were dropped off at the airport we didn’t have to think about anything except getting the maximum enjoyment out of our holiday.
I can recommend Savannah Sound Safaris for anyone who wants an exciting care free safari.
To the extent that if I ever go to again Kenya I would have no hesitation about booking them. I have recommended them to my friends as excellent.
Again to just say that Savannah Sound Safaris provide one of the best holidays I have ever had.

Best budget tour operator in Kenya
We went for 4 nights & 5 days game drive with Mufasa Tour & travels. It is the best tour operator who provide economic rates with high quality service. Joseph was very prompt in answering all my queries and did every possible changes to customize our itinerary. Provided a very competitive rate to suit our requirement. On the other hand Charles our tour guide was an experienced man who enriched us with his vast knowledge and wildlife experience. Overall tremendous happy with Mufasa tour and travels and will definitely recommend to others.
