Two weeks exploring Uganda, absolutely magical
We asked Wild Jungle Trails to create a bespoke tour for our family of four (the two young-uns 22 and 18) and they gave us everything we wanted and more. White Water Rafting on the Nile, abseiling down the incredibly beautiful Sipi Falls and creating our own local coffee, three extraordinary days of safari in Murchison Falls, rhino trekking and some time for us to catch up with Son no.1's Ugandan family and friends in Lira and Kampala. Twaha our guide was amazing. He was friendly and professional all the time, but on safari he was extraordinary. No wonder the other vans followed ours! He could not only find the wildlife but approached the animals so that they put up with us, and let us spend time with them which was a privilege we won't forget. The hotels and lodges were just as we wanted, and we'd especially recommend Rafiki Lodge in Sipi and Heritage Safari Lodge at Murchison Falls. If you go on the Murchison Falls boat trip make sure you trek to the top - the view from the boat is nothing to what you see if you do the little trek. We got several quotes and this was not the most expensive, but it was definitely the best, accommodating everything we wanted and with all the appropriate accreditations giving us well-founded confidence. We have no hesitation in recommending them and would use them again in a hearbeat - asking for Twaha, of course. We miss you! from the Elders.

Our experience was most excellent.
From the outset, our safari was excellent. Excellent housing, food, places to visit and weather. Our planning effort with Alex went well and he was amenable to our many changes. Best of all was our driver/guide. Alan, our driver/guide, was a 5 star himself and really made the trip real. His knowledge and willingness to serve our 6 person group was outstanding in itself.

Excellent, unique safari operator and lodge.
My wife and I booked with Shinzelle as part of our honeymoon visit to SA. The experience was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Communications with the owners were clear and timely, staff at the lodge were beyond friendly and helpful, and our guide Jason was great as both an animal tracker AND a companion. The very first morning we went out with him he found us a leopard that another truck had just blown heedlessly by, and got us so close to it you could tell it had blue eyes. His knowledge of the animals and environment was unmatched, and his skill at understanding the park got us fantastic sightings that many other guides would have missed. Absolutely would book with Shinzelle again on a return visit.

excellent service, fantastic holidays
Our experience with Shemeji has been outstanding the whole way through. It was our first visit to Tanzania and we did a 5 day trip to see Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. The animal life in the parks were fantastic, up close and exciting. Hippos and even lions wandered through the camps at times, this was so exciting but we felt very save and taking care off all the times. Though very basic, all accommonidations were very good, especially the dinner was amazing.
Every day it was a surprise to see other animals and beautiful landscape. Our guide, Julian, was amazing, very professional and experienced and so patient while we took tousands of pictures :)
After the Safari trip we spent a few days exploring Stone Town (very crowded, one day is enough time to visit all attractions!) in Sansibar and relaxing at the beach. It was a perfect holiday!

Fantastic adventure
Can't think of a single thing that went wrong! Great experience. Employees were knowledgeable, friendly and competent. Our tour guide had an amazing knowledge of the animals and able to answer every question. He should work for Google! Communication with the tour operator was quick and effortless. And we saw every imaginable animal and even the wildebeast migration across the river between Tanzania and Kenya. So glad I made the long trip for an adventure of a lifetime.

The best safari tours in town :)
We decided for a 6-day private camping safari and can really only say good things :) everyone has super effort and try everything possible to fulfill all wishes! Our own chef Viktor was really great and has enchanted us every day with great food ... our guide Richard was also awesome, he knew exactly where he can find the best animals for us!
In addition, Vervet Safaris has offered us the cheapest price, so it was a great stroke of luck! Since we arrived a day earlier and had some time left, they also went out to dinner with us, drove to the bank and accompanied us to a typical Masai market and all this at no extra charge! Just awesome :)!!
So if you are looking for a great safari, for a really fair price we can only recommend Vervet! We have rarely experienced such a great hospitality :)
Thank you Vervet for the great experience !!

Unforgettable encounters
From the first moment we booked our Gorilla Tracking trip to Uganda we were very well informed about the itinerary and the status of our trip. The drive from Ruanda to Uganda with Hannington is very comfortable and scenic. We got to see a lot about both countries during the 5 hour drive. The lodge at Bwindi National Park provides all the comfort and rest we needed ahead of the Gorilla Tracking. The tracking itself exceeded all expectations. While we were hoping to see one gorilla up close, we got to spent time with an entire family of gorillas. That experience was incredibly touching and we look forward to come back to Uganda, to see more of that beautiful county with Hannington!

An unforgettable experience!
Last year we visited Namibia, this year we decided to travel on our own through Botswana and the northern part of SA. However, it was difficult to book campsites on our own in Botswana, communication with the campsites was bad or we got late responses. Therefore, we decided to contact African Travels for help. It was the best thing we did. Marijnke (owner of African Travels) knows a lot about Africa and she knows the most beautiful places. Thanks to her, it was an unforgettable experience!
Communication with African Travels was more than good. Because of the weather, we changed part of the trip. Marijnke was reachable 24/7. She came up with good ideas how to travel and which campsites/accomodations were still available and she also booked the locations for us while we were in desert.
Furthermore, African Travels arranged a very good car for us (Toyota Hillux 4x4) by a trusted partner of them. The owner of the rental company also knew a lot about Africa and told us the most beautiful stories.
I definitely would recommend to contact African Travels if you want to travel trough Africa so that your dream can come true!
