A memorable experience
We were fortunate enough to go on a 3-day trip to the Murchison Falls National Park with Likana Safaris Uganda in February of this year.
We had three days packed with wonderful experiences.
We saw a large number of animals and birds during the game drive: elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, crowned cranes, to name just some.
Another highlight of the safari was the boat cruise up to the Falls with sightings of hippo and numerous bird life. And on our last day, we were taken to the top of the Falls: a spectacular view of the river as it plunges down the gorge.
The whole trip was a great success due to the outstanding organization by Likana Safaris and the knowledge and experience of its excellent guide.
Great accommodation too at the Sambiya River Lodge.
Uganda is well worth visiting and Likana Safaris did an excellent job in introducing us to this beautiful country.

Botswana, Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the zambezi were all an amazing experience.
The tour was value for money, we stayed at some amazing places and the food everywhere was brilliant. We had booked this holiday not wanting or expecting luxury. We wanted 2 or 3 star guest house/ lodges for the experiences. There we some last minute changes which really annoyed us ( in the places we stayed) some were an upgrade which we did not really want. Our guides for the whole trip were brilliant. I would stay at all the lodges again, but not sure if I would use the same company. However we all loved it.

Extremely helpful and arranged everything needed for a fantastic trip!
Magical Gorilla Adventures were so helpful in planning a trip to the Rwenzori mountains to trek as well as visit the mountain gorillas in Bwindi. Aina was extremely patient with us as our dates changed and it was touch and go whether we were going to make the trip happen or not. They organized it from the point of pick up in Kigali, arranged accommodations along the way and also the hike to the Rwenzoris. Ronnie was our driver and took absolute care of us the entire way. He provided anything that we needed to keep us happy and comfortable along the way and was the perfect blend of friendly and professional. Accommodations were great, service was fantastic the entire time and we had a great time!

This was an experience of a lifetime thanks to Richard!
My group and I came to visit for a week and from the airport pickup to drop off on the last day we enjoyed. Richard was very pleasant and knowledge. We had many things we wanted to experience and he was patient with us and made provisions for us to see everything. He communicated well and made sure that we were safe. It felt as if we had known him all of our lives. He provided us excellent customer service and always made sure that we were please. We definitely will be back and we would not travel there with another else but HEKIMA Safaris!

One of the best services I've ever used in my entire life.
By far one of the best experiences of my entire life.
From the impeccable service to booking, to the guide service.
On the first day we visited the Maasai tribe, which was surreally cool.
On the second day, of game day, we were lucky to have a super prepared, fun and intelligent guide, who guided us early through the savannah.
The place we stayed was very wonderful, super comfortable room, warm shower, and a very beautiful living space with wifi.
We had the great opportunity to see a mother lion with her cubs, and even leopards sleeping in trees (something that was only possible thanks to the experience of our guide).
I recommend this company with my eyes closed!!!
Even when we had a problem with the payment on the card, they were super helpful, kind and helped us resolve it as smoothly as possible.
I don't think there are enough words to thank you for this sensational experience they provided us.

Great experience with a reliable team
The team of Sekanka travel have been great in organizing the tour in a flexible and complete way.
The guide was very expereinced and always available to satisfy our requests and to do the extra mile to make us live the best expereince possible.
We are a family with 3 kids and we were always feeling safe, even if living the savana at a close contact with animals.
The staff hasn been always helpful and quick to prepare tents and great dinner.
I recommend Sekanka travel for a great experience in Botswana!

So helpful and arranging !
My experience with Dowel Tours & Travel was the best, Christine helped me to plan my trip based on my requirements and also arranged for all the activities within my budget.
They organized the transfer for me from Nairobi to Diani! A private vehicle was waiting for me in Diani to bring me to my hostel. I had a wonderful time at the beach thanks to Christine! They also organized the transfer on my way back.
I recommend booking with Dowel Tours&Travel, it is one of the best companies I have ever traveled with. They are responsive and make sure that you get everything you need!
Thank you so much, asante sana!

Incredibly safari experience
We went on a two-day safari with Nhlalala Travel in March/April and had the best time! We already felt very well looked after beforehand. Our (many) emails were answered very quickly and we received a great overview of the planned days. On the first day of the safari we were picked up at our accommodation in Pretoria and drove (super safely) with Norman to the national park. Norman grew up in the Kruger National Park so he was very knowledgeable and could answer any questions and tell us lots about the park and surrounding areas. There we had a private safari with Jerry on the first day. Jerry was a great guide, he really did his best to ensure that we saw as many animals as possible and catered to all our wishes. He kept chatting to all the other safari guides to figure out where the animals were. We were extremely lucky to see the big 5 on the first day and soooo many other animals. In the evening we had a nice meal at the accommodation and spent a lovely night there. The next morning we went on another great safari and then headed back to Johannesburg. Nhlalala Travel was super accomidating and dropped us off at the airport, where we ended this great two day trip. The whole experience was really great, well organized, great value for money and the people super nice. I would recommend the company to anyone and will definitely do another safari with them in the future.

What an incredible solo female trip around Uganda it was!
I had the most amazing week with Musa while exploring Uganda! From the initial conversations of trip planning to my actual time in Uganda, the process could not have been better without the help of Yaneta safaris. Musa as a local guide has many connections and first-hand experience that creates a once in a lifetime safari experience. He's incredibly knowledgeable about local wildlife which helped me view all the wild animals in the parks. I fell in love with each accommodation i stayed in with a great experience, and I was very impressed with the quality of the "mid-range" selections. They were all beautiful, safe, and welcoming. If your planning a tour in East Africa, I highly recommend the chimpanzee and gorilla treks- they were highlights of my trip! Ultimately, I was so happy with my decision to plan my trip with Bracius a tour consultant from Yaneta safaris.
Thanks again for the life-long memorie

Great experience!
The safari was amazing! A life changing experience. Everythjng was very organized, I was informed of everything beforehand and I got helped dealing with different stuff like the buying and activation of the Sim card (which can be tricky) and Qatar Airlines lost my suitcase and Joshua helped me talked to the airline and deal with all the issue to have it back. Great driver and guide (Samuel), great accommodation and great food.
