Best safari guide! Thank you Dixon!
Our recent 5-day safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru was unforgettable, thanks to Dixon, our exceptional guide. His deep knowledge, engaging descriptions, and insightful commentary enriched our trip. Dixon's warm personality and genuine care made us feel well taken care of throughout, from spotting a leopard in Lake Nakuru to watching a cheetah up close in Masai Mara. His efforts ensured every detail was smooth and enjoyable, turning our safari into an extraordinary experience. Thank you, Dixon, for making our journey truly special!
He’s the best!!!

Excellent!
I‘ll be honest, I’m not one for writing reviews, but this time I found myself wanting to share my experience of the excellent service from Morris and his team and the great care he took to make sure our group of four women, had the best time possible.
It all started with Morris taking the time to meet us on day 1, which was a great opportunity to ask questions about the trip and Kenya in general.
The 5 night/6 day safari was expertly planned and executed. The flow was spot on, with stays at three different lodges and entry to four parks/reserves. We were very lucky to see all of the Big 5 and so so much more. I would say most of this rested with Tony ( or Lucky Tony, as we called him) who was without exception, polite, flexible and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and areas. His enthusiasm and determination really made the trip.
This was all supported by outstanding accommodation, each lodge with slightly different offerings, but all absolutely delightful and so friendly, it would be hard not to enjoy. Without exception, the food was amazing, with lots of choice and so tasty.
I would have no problem to recommend Morris and his team to anyone.

Cover Kenia Safaris staff has provided our family with an adventure of a lifetime
Vincent responds fast, with all needed details, so you can prepare well for your safari. He also helped us to buy train tickets to Mombasa which we couldn't do by ourselves as we hadn't got MPesa, so Vincent saved us a lot of trouble. With our guide, Zachary, we talked not only about the animals and nature, but also current situation in Kenia and challenges they face nowadays. He did his very best to offer us the great experience. The tour agenda (we chose 3-days tour) is packed with activities so we enjoyed every minute of our safari.

The tour operator was professional, attentive, respectful and knowledgeable.
Jason was hands down the best safari guide in the park. Words can’t describe how special he made our safari experience. We are forever grateful for his expertise, adaptability and kindness. #Big5Forever

The company was reliable and very easy to communicate with! I would highly recommend.
We had an amazing trip! Dennis the organizer, did an amazing job of communicating with us. However, our driver Jason is who really made the trip special. Jason made us feel safe and catered the trip to fit our needs and wants. We really became a family in the van, with lots of laughs. I would highly recommend this company, and the drive Jason! It was a once in a life time experience! He was hands down the best driver in the park!

The best operator we could have ever chosen! Perfect in all the Safari phases!
Brilliant deeply took care of me and my girlfriend starting from the beginning! We asked for a quote in the website and the company always replied us with punctuality, efficiency and a great kindness, ensuring the realisation of our whises and flexibly adapting the program!
The company welcome when we landed was done perfectly, with a useful briefing explaining well the full Safari program! From the beginning to the end, our guide was incredible: always professional and in the meantime nice and smiling, always punctual and willing to satisfy our requests! He showed us plenty of different animals and gave us unforgettable moments inside the nature!
In a few words: a huge THANKS A LOT, Brilliant!

Awesome
This was a very personal experience Nick is really knowledgeable and great fun. Saw all the wildlife you could want. The Gorillas were amazing and a must visit. The more people that go the more they are protected. Nick tailors the trip to your requirements for a very reasonable cost. It was the experience of a lifetime I was hoping for definitely recommend Meanda Uganda.

Reliable and at the best price.
We had such a great experience on our 7 day safari led by Jason from Baboon Budget Safaris. Jason prepared us well for what to expect each day, and he often checked to see if we needed anything. He was an excellent driver and made sure we were able to see everything each park had to offer, including getting up close to the animals. I felt very safe at all times and would highly recommend a safari with Jason and Baboon Budget Safaris!

Unforgettable 11-Day Safari Tour with Meander Uganda
Unforgettable 11-Day Safari Tour with Meander Uganda
My recent 11-day safari tour with Meander Uganda was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived until the day we departed, Nick, our tour guide and organizer, provided exceptional personal service that truly made this the best holiday ever.
Nick's attention to detail and genuine care for our experience was evident throughout the trip. He expertly managed all the planning, leaving us to simply enjoy the adventure. We shared our interests, and Nick curated an itinerary that exceeded our expectations.
Uganda's scenery is breathtaking and incredibly diverse. Our journey took us from the stunning crater lakes to the vast savannahs, lush tropical rainforests, and the majestic Great Lakes. We also experienced the vibrant urban areas with fantastic nightlife, adding a dynamic contrast to our trip.
The highlight was undoubtedly our visit to the mountain gorillas in the Impenetrable Forest. Walking alongside a troop of chimpanzees, encountering elephants, and observing the unique tree-climbing lions were unforgettable experiences. We were also thrilled by the sight of graceful giraffes, diverse bird species, and playful hippos, which quickly became a favorite.
The overall experience was enhanced by Uganda's moderate climate—neither too hot nor too cold during our visit. The local people added a warm and welcoming touch, making us feel at home in this beautiful country.
The trip offered excellent value for money. Nick's organization skills relieved us of any travel stress. He took care of every detail, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the experience fully.
In conclusion, I highly recommend Meander Uganda and Nick's outstanding services for anyone seeking an unforgettable safari adventure. It was an incredible journey, full of remarkable wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, diverse environments, and warm hospitality. Thank you, Nick, for making this the best holiday ever!

Wonderful, educational, adventurous tour
I was initially skeptical about booking a private tour for just myself, where I planned to spend 6 days and 5 nights camping, driving, and adventuring with a male tour guide (as I didn't have an option for a female). I was concerned about it feeling awkward or perhaps being dangerous somehow.
Aina, the person at Peoples Tours who helped me make the decision, assured me it would be ok.
I finally decided I would take the risk.
I am very happy I did.
Aina's communications and follow through left a little something to be desired. I do not feel there was enough communication, nor that she adequately prepared me for the trip. Be mindful to ask very specific questions, and request more information, as I think they assume that the itinerary they send is enough information. Also, if you have dietary restrictions, it is very important to note that with them and be prepared for the possibility that there may not be options for you, even though they say there will be. Always bring snacks! My snacks saved me a few times.
However, ultimately, I am happy with the tour and am grateful for how patient Aina was with my process. She was also always kind and polite in our exchanges.
What has made me give the tour 5 stars, is my guide, Ricky. He was an INCREDIBLE guide. So amazingly knowledgeable about everything, from the history of Namibia, the cultures, to geology, the geography, to ecology, to biology, to botany...truly everything. Talking with him was very exciting, as I got to learn all about Namibia, the animals, the plants, the natural spaces we were in, the people, the traditions, and also their heritage and languages. He was also fun to interact with and made the long car rides really interesting. He was very patient with me, and also very caring. By the end of the trip we were laughing a lot and I felt like I was leaving with having a new friend and adventure buddy.
I never once felt uncomfortable with him, like I have with so many male guides, and this was so relieving for me.
When you book, ask for Ricky!
This was a once in a lifetime experience. I am changed from this. I wish it could have lasted longer. It was worth every single penny. Absolutely.
Namibia is a breathtakingly beautiful country and has a lot to teach and offer the rest of the world.
