Excellent operator for gorilla trekking
I recently had the incredible opportunity to take a 3-day safari with Lulu Safaris Uganda to see the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From start to finish, Lulu Safaris made the entire journey seamless, enjoyable, and unforgettable.
The long drive from Entebbe to Bwindi, while lengthy, was made thoroughly enjoyable by the professionalism and warmth of the drivers. They were not only knowledgeable and friendly but also great to talk to, which helped pass the time quickly. The drive itself was breathtaking, with landscapes that change dramatically throughout the day, and the final stretch through the mountains in the late afternoon was nothing short of spectacular.
One of the highlights of the trip was the accommodation. The lodge we stayed at was luxurious and perfectly nestled in the forest, offering stunning views from the balcony that I could have spent hours on. The food, both at the lodge and the local restaurants along the way, was fantastic—a true introduction to the rich flavours of Ugandan cuisine.
Communication with Lulu Safaris was a breeze from the very beginning. Elvis ensured that all my questions were answered promptly, whether through email or WhatsApp, making the planning process stress-free.
As for the gorilla trekking itself, words can hardly do it justice. Observing the majestic mountain gorillas in their natural habitat was simply awe-inspiring. The trek through the jungle is challenging, and I would recommend being in good physical shape, but this only adds to the adventure. The dedication and passion of the park rangers and trackers who guided us were inspiring—they are doing incredible work to protect these magnificent creatures and their environment.
In summary, I cannot recommend Lulu Safaris Uganda enough. The combination of their excellent service, attention to detail, and the unmatched experience of seeing the gorillas up close makes this an adventure I will never forget. If you’re considering a gorilla trekking experience, look no further than Lulu Safaris!

5-Day Fly in Luxury Safari to Serengeti, Crater, Manyara
We did the 5 day luxury safari which included flights to and from Zanzibar. From start to finish this tour exceeded expectations. We booked this trip 6 weeks in advance so we were on a time crunch. William organized everything for us. He was fast to respond to emails, answered all our questions, and was in contact with us every step of the way to ensure everything went smoothly. Our tour guide Aaron was phenomenal, with 20+ years experience as a safari guide he was a wealth of knowledge and could spot all the animals. The accommodations were amazing we especially love Manyara best view lodge and Manyara’s Secret with private pools in your room, impeccable service, and amazing food. We would highly recommend Telly Africa Safaris to anyone looking for their bucket list safari trip.

The Best Decision – A Safari Experience We’ll Never Forget!
From the moment I first messaged Live in Love Kenya Tours on WhatsApp while still in the U.S., I had a gut feeling this was the company to go with—and wow, was I right! Best decision ever! My two teenagers and I had the adventure of a lifetime with Peter and his team.
Right from day one in Amboseli National Park, we knew this experience would be special. We were the only vehicle in sight when our guide, with an incredible ability to read animal behavior, told us to start filming because something amazing was about to happen. Sure enough, we watched two male impalas suddenly lock horns in an intense battle! One lost an antler, and before we knew it, he bolted off just feet from our vehicle. It was unreal. Now that I’ve watched my video a million times, I can see what our guide noticed instantly.
Why should you book with them? If you can, go private! It was actually cheaper than joining a group of strangers, and the flexibility made all the difference. At one point, our guide pulled over to the side of the road so we could buy fresh dragon fruit. I never liked dragon fruit in the U.S., but this was a treat.
Another major perk of this small company? The guides communicate with each other in the parks, tipping each other off to sightings. That’s how we ended up spotting a cheetah! And everywhere we went, it was clear that the guides from Live in Love Kenya Tours were respected and well-liked by others in the field.
The accommodations were fantastic, including our stay inside the park at Lake Nakuru, where we enjoyed incredible food, friendly staff, and even affordable laundry service (which, trust me, was so appreciated after days in the bush!).
One thing I had worried about was visiting a Maasai village that felt “staged” for tourists. That was absolutely not the case here! On our last day in the Masai Mara, our guide introduced us to a local Maasai man who joined our Safari. He shared stories about his life, helped scout for wildlife, and gave us a genuine, respectful connection to the culture.
Of course, any safari will show you incredible animals, but what sets this company apart is the people. The guides aren’t just knowledgeable; they genuinely care about giving you the best experience possible. We had real conversations, shared laughter, and walked away with more than just great photos—we left with new friendships. My family now calls Peter a friend, I expected this to be once in a lifetime, but… I’d 100% come back if I can score a cheap flight!
If you’re even thinking about booking with them—just do it! You won’t regret it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars all the way!

Exceptional & Excellent Honeymoon Services
We had an exceptional honeymoon safari booked with Tafika Travel Advisor. Paul was very accommodative from our first email till our last day of travel.
Everything went as per our request and plan. We had a wonderful services in Victoria Falls Livingstone Zambia from accommodation, activities and all the meals was fantastic. We were surprised with a candle light table which was fully packaged with nice food and a bottle of wine.
The game drive in the park was one of the best activity ever as we were treated as VIP with the privacy we needed as a new couple.
We cant wait to go back on our first marriage anniversary in 2026 again!!!

Super trip of Keniya
We had a great safari trip to the Masai Mara, Nakuru and Namesake parks. I liked everything very much, every day and hour of the safari I was surprised by the beauties of Kenya, pleasant people and a good organization of the tour in the person of our guide-driver Geeman. He has unique abilities to show tourists interesting locations. Suffice it to say that we were almost the only ones who saw how the hyena hunt for the warthog went. In general, we received emotions and a positive charge for a long period of time.

Excellent
Many thanks to Robert and the team of Camptrek Safaris for providing us with a perfect safari experience. Everything was perfectly organized so that we could enjoy our first trip to Africa to the fullest. Thanks to our experienced guide Robert, we had an exceptional time in Masai Mara und Amboseli National Park and were able to see the Big Five (among many other animals). We would highly recommend connecting with Camptrek Safaris.

Most amazing place Tanzania! I recommend it for those who love wildlife and nature.
The views were exciting and beautiful. The camp sites were better than I expected. The lunches were not good. After seeing the animals and driving on a bumpy road you want a good lunch. The carrot sandwich was creative but terrible. I also didn’t appreciate not being told going to the Musai village would be a fee. I had to pay when I arrived after they dressed me in there garments. Overall a excellent trip.

Summary:
We really wanted to provide a comprehensive review of our Kenyan safari tour with Afrikan Accent Adventures (“AAA”) as they without doubt made it the trip of a lifetime for us. In summary, we couldn’t recommend more strongly that anyone looking for a safari tour operator book with AAA.
Hellen (company manager), Nico (our safari guide and driver) and Mike (guide in Nairobi) were all absolutely superb, and the service and support they provided from initial contact right through to drop off was simply first class. We feel that for such an impeccable client service, and for the time, the price provided very good value.
Itinerary:
Hellen dedicated significant time up front to prepare a bespoke safari itinerary which was meticulously planned to tick off everything we wanted to see. Note this was done before any payment obligation so her time up front was very much appreciated. She worked hard to ensure the accommodation we wanted was all booked for us, despite us booking relatively late and some of the places were seemingly already fully booked.
You could spend a month at the places we went, but given the limited time we had Hellen managed to pack in as much as possible without overloading it, so it didn’t feel rushed.
Nico was excellent throughout at ensuring we kept to our schedule and arrived on with enough time to enjoy everything that was planned.
AAA also lined up other great tours within our itinerary: Joseph’s bike tour at Hells Gate, the Crescent Island boat tour, and the Maasai village tour.
Communication and support:
We cannot thank Hellen enough for her outstanding customer service. She was very clear in communication throughout and responded very quickly to our initial queries (seemingly at all hours!) She answered all tour/support related queries we had before booking and throughout our tour. She worked with me on a bank transfer payment issue I had for the deposit and liaised with our first hotel to retrieve a lost kindle.
She was an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Nico was extremely knowledgeable on each of the parks and the flora and fauna at each, constantly providing info throughout. He was more than happy to answer any questions we had. He was also happy to talk to us about the culture of Kenya - the tribes, languages, politics and religion of each area we visited - which really added colour and extra interest throughout our trip.
For the avoidance of doubt, Hellen and Nico both speak very good English.
Our guide:
Nico has been guiding safari tours for 12 years and you can tell. In addition to his excellent knowledge and communication throughout, Nico had a real knack of getting our vehicle in the right place at the right time, ensuring we were situated perfectly to see animal crossings, get as close as possible (whilst being respective of the animals) and take some wonderful photos. At some of the animal spotting there can end up being a lot of vehicles on site, so AAA really impressed us with this.
Vehicle:
It was very important that we were in a 4x4 vehicle rather than a mini bus. Hellen provided us with photos and details on the vehicle up front. On arrival it didn’t disappoint.
The vehicle was clean and well maintained - there were absolutely no issues with it dealing with the extreme terrain. It was spacious - 6 seats (though there were only 2 of us!), all the windows were big and opened easily, and the pop up roof was great.
Some of the roads can be extremely rough both on safari and in transit. I occasionally suffer with a bad lower back but have to say the seats were extremely comfortable and absorbed a lot of the shocks, this was very important given how long you do sit on these trips.
Note there is no air conditioning in the vehicle, but the ‘African air con’ (opened windows) generally kept us cool enough.
Cost:
We were looking for a mid range tour, staying in lodges throughout.
AAA were very competitive with the price quoted for the overall tour and we feel they provided exceptional value for money. Whilst we can’t comment on other tour companies, we can’t imagine that they would have been able to provide an improved service, and some of them quoted a significantly higher price for a similar length mid range trip.
Company Name:
When initially contacting and booking we had noticed that there was a discrepancy with the company name ‘Afrikan Accent Adventures’ and the name on some of the review sites. Hellen informed us that this is simply due to the difficulty they have faced trying to change the name on these sites since she went full time with her business. Please do not be put off by this, and we hope Hellen can get this sorted as soon as possible as it would be a real shame if this put some people off from having an otherwise wonderful experience with AAA.
Extras:
They think of everything! Early morning starts can be quite chilly so a customised Maasai shuck (blanket) was provided to each of us. Likewise it gets very hot and sunny during the day, so they also provide a good quality safari hat.
They are very environmentally conscious, so provided us with customised metal bottled and ample water. It was handy that our names were on the metal bottled provided to avoid confusion between who’s was who’s.
Hellen also went above and beyond to make our trip extra special by arranging a special surprise for my partner’s 30th birthday in the lodges. This also resulted in us receiving room upgrades.
Thanks again Hellen, Nico and Mike for everything and best of luck. We very much hope to see you again.

Very responsive and caring of neeeds
I just returned from my safari, and it was truly the realization of a lifelong dream. From start to finish, Wildebeest Safari exceeded all expectations.
Noah, the manager, was outstanding—always quick to respond via email and WhatsApp, incredibly kind, and meticulous in crafting the perfect journey for us. Despite having only six days, we were able to visit multiple parks and witness an incredible variety of wildlife.
Mike, our safari guide and driver, was phenomenal. He was always attentive, making sure we had the best vantage points to observe and photograph the animals. He also prepared us a picnic in Masai Mara and was a very special moment.
For our last two nights, Wildebeest Safari placed us in the most luxurious camp I have ever seen. It was a breathtaking experience, and we all left that place literally sobbing—it was that magical.
I wholeheartedly recommend Wildebeest Safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure. This trip was beyond anything I could have imagined, and I am deeply grateful for everyone!

Perfect, couldn’t ask for a better experience
Incredible price and service. Our driver Khalifa went above and beyond to show us the best of the safari.
Incredible experience.
I would highly recommend Enkorok camp. Sleep in a Lodge with the luxury hotel experience (really good food and swimming pool)
