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.

Great customer service
We took the 6day budget camping Safari to Serengeti which included Ngorongoro crater Tarangarite and Lake Minyara.
From the very beginning they were able to answer all of are questions in a timely manner and calmed our nerves of an issues we may have had about the tour.
The available airport transfer was very helpful from Kilimanjaro Airport which is an hour away..
Our contact in Arush meet with us the night before to go over again what we will be doing
on the tour and answered our final questions.
Our guide, Simba, was very knowledgeable and did everything he could to find the animals we wanted to see. He heard what everyone was looking for and made it a point to take time with the animals we did see. We saw Elephants, Giraffes, Lions, Hyenas, Wildebeest, Zebras, all sorts of Antelope, and many many birds. We even got to see the start of the migration, as they were heading to the river. Ever park was different but all had there Beauty.
The meals on the tour were all made fresh every day, even our lunch. They were all local dishes and the cheif was very accommodating to specific dietary needs as much as he could be with what food he had.
All meals were served family style on real dishes, silverware, no plastic utensil, and a table cloth.
If we had it to do again we would definitely do it. A once in a lifetime experience that you can't do anywhere else.

Attentive to Detail
My trip to Tanzania was a captivating blend of natural wonders and rich cultural experiences—from the Serengeti's sweeping savannahs and the Great Migration to Ngorongoro Crater's wildlife and Zanzibar's serene beaches. Tanzanian hospitality made it unforgettable. Zangada Africa made it an unforgettable tour!
