Best trip ever in Uganda
Our tour of Uganda with Home to Africa was terrific. We spent 12 days around Uganda visting Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National parks, Bwindi forest (gorilla trekking), Bunyony and Mburo lakes.
I was very impressed by how professional and detailed was the correspondence with Hedmond the manager. He always replied to our emails within few hours giving us all the information we needed.
Another special mention to our guide Karim who was definitively an added value as he knows everything about Uganda, its history, its culture, its nature. Every day we learnt so many new things. He was always very caring and impeccable.
All the lodges we stayed at were great. Minimal but super clean and the people were always so nice and welcoming. We felt always at home. It’s remarkable the support Home to Africa gives to the local communities selecting always lodged managed by local people. It made the difference.
Every day was special as it was very different because Uganda geography is so rich and diverse. I would recommend to anyone visiting Uganda to get in touch with Home to Africa to have the best experience ever!!!

Great Tour Operator- Trustworthy and Helpful
Mgoba tours was recommended to me by a friend who has used them frequently and said ‘if you need reliable agent in Dar then use Martin Mgoba’. What great advice! Martin was incredibly helpful and resourceful and helped us with an incredible trip to Mahale including local guide, accommodation and domestic flights, and then on to Mafia at the very last minute. When we return we will use Mgoba Tours again and recommend them to any other travellers.

Absolutely loved our Budget Masai Mara trip with Axis! Well organized
I really enjoyed the Masai Mara trip that Axis organized for us. Cintia that works on the offices in Nairobi was very good explaining us the details.
The pricing was good and they had the budget friendly option. Please note that the pricing for the tour is very good considering that includes the transportation from Nairobi, nightly stay, ALL MEALS, and all game drives! What drives the cost up, are the national park fees for Masai Mara included in the ticket which are $200 per day for foreigners. Can’t do anything about this. Our transport and game drive vehicle was a 4x4 Land Cruiser too, better than the vans we saw out there doing the game drives.
Our guide throughout the trip Pete was great at navigating into the Kenyan roads and the park. He also looked for our safety at all times.
The trip was really well organized, picked us up on time, meals were vast (buffets) with options for vegetarians, and the tent we stayed had a bathroom and hot shower.
Absolutely recommend this company.

A lifetime experience
My wife and I visited Tanzania through AAA express adventures. The company owner - Jalala and his team are incredibly talented and hospitable people. There are very well aware of the surroundings of the national park and as well the animal behaviour. Our tour guide Emily and our chef Zablon are the perhaps the best companions in the entire Tanzania safari world. Both of them made our trip so special and memorable that it has now been more than a year since we travelled but the time we spent there in the national parks is still so fresh and all the memories are still so vivid. If given a chance, we would love to visit Tanzania again with these amazing people.

Great safari!
We had amazing time in our 3 dayMasai Mara safari! Our driver and guide, Peter Kapino, was an excellent driver and guide. He was working hard to show us all the animals possible, and we managed to see most of big5 too! The accomodation was clean and good, and the food was good - we did not get sick from it, which was our main goal.
Everyone from the organisation team at the Jocky tour office was kind, the driver Peter was amazing, and the accomodation people were very kind too.
We also went to the optional masai Village visit, which was great to see, however we heard some tricks made for tourists, like selling necklaces with "lion teeth" what our guide, the "son of the chief" "hunter down"... Otherwise it was still very interesting.
Overall the safari trip was very good, affordable and a good experience for a life.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Exceptional Service"
My family recently returned from an incredible 4-day safari with Serengeti Wankada Tours and Safaris, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the moment we landed in northern Serengeti for the migration, the experience was nothing short of spectacular. Our guide, Reuben, was outstanding —his expertise and keen eye ensured we witnessed the Big Five and incredible migration action.
The seamless transition from northern Serengeti to the central Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was expertly handled, offering breathtaking views and unforgettable wildlife encounters at every turn. A special shoutout to Aishwarya, who organized the entire trip flawlessly. Her professionalism, excellent communication, and prompt responses made the planning process effortless and enjoyable.
If you're looking for an unforgettable safari experience, Serengeti Wankada Tours and Safaris is the way to go. Their exceptional service and attention to detail guarantee a trip you'll remember for a lifetime.

A very good and responsible travel agency with the most patient leader like Safi.
Everything was great, we climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and every guide was lovely. The only thing I want to say is that perhaps on the eve of reaching the summit, more light meals can be prepared, even if they are not hot. This needs improvement. Every day, the guide investigates our health status and puts in the utmost effort to ensure the smooth ascent of all of us. I want to say, if you want to climb to the top, choose Kipe. Their summit rate is absolutely true and accurate.

excellent！
After an enjoyable 18-day journey, we successfully concluded this wonderful time. Kipe was not our initial plan, but it turned out to be our wisest choice. Here, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Kipe for making all this possible; it is an extremely sincere local agency.
All six of us are truly impressed by their service attitude. During the 18-day itinerary, we experienced three days on Zanzibar Island, seven days of Safari, seven days on Mount Kilimanjaro, a one-day tour of the Maasai Market, and airport transfer services. The arrangement of the entire journey was very thoughtful.
On Zanzibar Island, the driver we met and the local guide on the second day were both very friendly. Especially the local guide on the second day, he not only helped us find several shops to change money but also did not accept any payment, showing a high quality of kindness. This young man left a deep impression on us, and even after the journey, we still remember him vividly (regrettably, we didn't have enough US dollars at the time to give him a larger tip). During the Safari, in addition to the standard driver service, we had a Maasai guide named Laba Hati accompanying us throughout the trip, who was also a very sincere Maasai person. This kind of experience is rare with other local agencies, giving us the opportunity to deeply understand Maasai culture. I consider all his responses to be sincere.
Throughout the Safari, the driver and guide both attached great importance to our opinions and feelings. We set off at 7 a.m. every morning and returned to the hotel around 8 p.m. I noticed that other drivers usually work for eight hours, while our vehicle was equipped with a refrigerator, charging facilities, and three telescopes (usually only one is provided, which exceeded our expectations).
Kipe regularly cared for and greeted us every day, inquired about the itinerary, and conducted in-depth follow-ups after the Safari to understand which hotels were worth recommending and which were average. They also sought genuine feedback to provide better service for future clients.
As for the Mount Kilimanjaro climbing experience, all five of us successfully reached the summit. It was a nanny-style climbing experience, with someone waking us up on time every day to ensure we had enough rest and food. I am particularly grateful to my accompanying guide Suya, who gave me great encouragement during the final 100 meters of the summit climb. Although a certificate can be obtained by reaching above 5600 meters, we believe that since we came, we should persist to the end. Suya's encouragement and companionship made the whole process full of emotional value; he is a very outstanding person. If someone plans to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, I strongly recommend the Safi team and specifically request Suya as the guide, as he is truly deserving of everyone's love.
