Amazing
Our recently concluded Jhalana and Ranthambore trip was a revelation. We can, at best, describe ourselves as wild life enthusiasts. Over the last nearly 10 years we have made several visits to the national parks all across India . This January we also visited Tadoba.
But the experience we had on this occasion was absolutely unique and unparalleled. A couple of enthusiasts transformed to semi experts in a few days.
We were a team of 6 including Dr. Saumitra Chatterjee who was not only our team leader, but organised our whole programme meticulously under the auspicies of Just Travels, the agency, which he is an integral part of. Our Tadoba trip was also organised by him and Just Travels. Tadoba was also an immensely successful trip and when he offered us to join him for this trip we never had any second thoughts but to agree wholeheartedly.
We have had mixed luck with tigers, prior to this, in our previous jungle jaunts. However having visited quite a few safaris we realise that visiting the jungle is not only about tiger viewing but it definitely does provide an 'icing on the cake'. Besides we never had any prior experience of seeing a leopard in the wild, as well.
A prequel of fascinating anecdotes of the tigers of Ramthambore and leopards of Jhalana definitely whetted our appetite. And when this was followed up with the most enthralling tiger and leopard watching spectacle, it left us spellbound. In total we saw three female leopards in Jhalana and two male adolescent tigers within shake hand distance and for what seemed an eternity. The radiant appearance of the descendants of the tigers, whose stories previously mesmerised us, now left us riveted. An aerial view of two other cubs in one of our other safaris completed our fascinating tiger viewing.
There were so many firsts. This is the first time we saw leopards, a sloth bear and a hyena in the wild.We never had a dull moment. The visit to the gorgeous Ranthambore fort added variety and another dimension to our trip.
We would like to, once again, thank Dr. Chatterjee and Just Travels for one of the most refreshing and dynamic 5 days of our life.
Would strongly recommend other wild life enthusiasts to consider Just Travels to arrange their next safari trip. I am sure it will be a special experience to cherish.

Right from the first email was amazing.
Everything was really perfectly arranged, all transfers were on time and we were welcomed at the reception desks.
We liked chosen accommodation very much and order of our route was also well thought out.
We appreciate all efforts and the result:)!

Unforgettable experience tracking the gorillas in Bwindi
The communication was excellent. We had limited time in Uganda, Grassrootz was able to put together a mini-safari in which we were able to track the gorillas in Bwindi. Very happy with the programme as advised and organised by Grassrootz.

An amazing trip in one of Africa's best safaris (per CNN) and an incredible gorilla trek.
Uganda Safari Chapter delivers excellent service with itineraries, on the ground pick ups and excellent guides! Going to Kidepo Valley National Park was a highlight with its beauty, remoteness, and huge herds of Cape buffalo and elephants. Wildlife viewing was quite good with several lion sightings, 50+ zebra and many other animals. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi is an amazing experience. As you look into their eyes there is a moment of recognition which is surreal. At both national parks, Uganda Safari Chapter put me in beautiful lodges / tented camps with excellent service and great food. They know what they're doing!

Very professional and friendly staff
Suricata Safaris provided a great service from our first contact until the goodbye in the airport. Contacting, negotiating and paying for our reservation was smooth. Our guide and cooker were very professional and friendly. The food was great! We had a problem with our flight in our arrival (we had to land in another airport) and Suricata Safaris provided all the support needed, coming to pick us in the new location.

Amazing experience and absolutely well organized!!!
everything from the beginning to end was absolutely well organized and we had an amazing time in Simbabwe and Botsuana.
Moto, our guide, was such a nice person, who was very friendly, jolly and we had lots of fresh conversations during our one week trip!He explained a lot about the people, country, traditions and of course the animals. He was pretty good in spotting animals while driving. All our accomodations, especially Safari Bush Lodge at Chobe National Park, were really good. Elephant Sand was also a memorable experience....
All in all - our expectations were completly fulfilled and it was an amazing time!!!Thank you so much....

Can't imagine traveling to Uganda with any other guide...Twaha is, hands down, THE BEST!!
This is my 7th consecutive year traveling to Uganda and using Twaha as a safari guide. Each year he manages to somehow make the experience even better than the last. I have now experienced Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls (at least 5 times), Quads on the Nile, boat rides to the falls, birding adventures, chimp trekking, Nile river rafting and the most AMAZING lodges! I don't even look at the itinerary anymore...I just let the Wild Jungle Trails team handle all the arrangements. Each year they pick the perfect places and set us up with the best guides at each adventure. I always receive the best customer service from start to finish.
If you are looking for a stress free, safe guide who knows all the ins and outs of Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya.....Wild Jungle Safaris should be your only option. I recommend getting input from their staff in regards to realistic travel times and accommodations to ensure your expectations are met and your trip is enjoyable! I can't imagine experiencing Africa with any other safari guide!

1st Safari. Best experience ever.
Everything was very clear. I had to transfer 50% of the safari value to Haron and the rest I paid to the driver. The driver picked us at the hotel in Nairobi and drived us to Amboseli. The accomodation that we choosed (Kibo) was amazing. Couldn't ask for better 1st Safari. I hope to come back to Kenya or Tanzania and if so, I will contact Haron again to request his services. Thank you very much!! Tiago and Andre, November 2018

Great trip and stress free
Had an amazing experience in africa. It was a well designed and stress-free trip. No problems at all. Lodging were excellent and transportation was easy. Roar was there to help us skip lines and get through the airport easier. Lodging managers know the travel specialists by name because they visit the routes and places every so often.
