An amazing ambassador of the Ugandan country and it’s people!
Our recent trip to Uganda was an adventure of a lifetime! From trekking to see the golden-backed monkeys in Volcanoes National Park, to the awe-inspiring experience of coming face to face with gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, every moment was filled with wonder. We also spent a serene day at Lake Bunyonyi, soaking in the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings.
A big part of what made this trip so special was the exceptional service provided by Kaara Adventures. They went above and beyond to customize our itinerary to meet our specific requests. Their responsiveness throughout the planning process and during the trip itself was impressive.
Our driver, Gerald, deserves a special mention. He was not just a driver, but a guide, storyteller, and a true ambassador of Ugandan culture. His knowledge of the country, its history, and the rich diversity of its people was invaluable. On top of that, his incredible sense of humor kept us laughing throughout the trip. By the end of our journey, we truly felt like part of his extended family.
For anyone considering a similar trip, a helpful tip is to bring American dollars in small denominations for tipping and purchases. Many places, especially in rural areas, don’t accept credit cards, so cash is essential.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend Kaara Adventures to anyone looking for an immersive and personalized Ugandan adventure!

Unforgettable Experience
We had a magnificent 6 day safari with the Lion King and our fantastic guide Benjamin (Benji) who did everything to ensure we had an unforgettable trip.
The journey went from Arusha to Tarangire National Park, where we saw huge herds of elephants and giraffes. Afterwards we spent the night at Manyara's Serecret with fantastic food and sunset over the lake.
The trip continued to the Ngorongoro Crater which did not disappoint and with the densest population of wild animals in Tanzania we saw pretty much everything. Even the soulful rhino showed up. We ended the day at Nyota Luxury camp in the central Serengeti. A really delicious camp that can only be recommended. There were super friendly staff, fantastic food and then you got really close to the animals. We thus saw both, lions, leopard, hyena, buffalo, monkeys, the cute dik dik and an elephant in the camp itself
The next day we managed to see the rare leopard and we also saw a cheetah with cubs that had just killed a prey.
The last few days we spent in the northern part of the Serengeti, where Benjamin managed to find the wildebeest crossing the Mara more than once. We actually saw it three times, such a surreal experience!
Benjamin was always attentive to our wishes and very patient in finding the perfect experience and not least pictures of the trip.
We therefore got very close to the rare Leopard and got some fantastic photos, just as we managed to experience the crossing of a huge herd of wildebeest.
It would not have been successful without Benjamin, who knew what he was doing and each time managed to find the animals we wanted to see. We even got to see the cute mongooses on the last day.
Everything from planning the trip, choosing camps, payment and execution was perfect
If you want the Best Tour operator for your safari, choose Lion King and ask for the Nr. 1 Safari Guide Benjamin. You will not be disapointed!

Magnificent and Friendly adventure
It was an amazing experience to witness the migration with my friend Jayden.
Our driver John was quite knowledgeable and kind. He accommodated all our requests and managed to find all the big five for us even after witnessing the migration.
I would definitely recommend him and Jamlan holiday safaris. Teddy who was our consultant was quite helpful too and recommended amazing accommodations for us .

Perfect 3 day safari
We booked a 3 day bespoke. Private safari to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Carater for our honeymoon and can highly recommend.
We flew in from Zanzibar into Seronera, changing to a little 15 seater at Arusha and with a couple of stops and no other takers, we both got a turn in the co pilot seat!!
We met our amazing guide Aaron at the strip and we were straight out in safari, and unbelievably had seen the ‘big 5’ in less than 2 hours!
Aaron, our guide with 20 years experience, was amazing at spotting the wildlife and reading the signs. He saw a leopard lounging in a tree that other jeeps had drove past, predicted where a lone lioness would meet with her pride and knew when we had to just wait patiently for a black rhino to reappear. He was great!
Our accommodation was luxury tents at Matawi Serengeti camp (where we could hear hyena’s calling as we fell asleep) and Ngorongoro Oldeani Mountain lodge which was stunning.
In our 3 days we saw every animal on our wish list including lions, cheetahs and elephants, with all but the black rhino up close.
From booking through to our final day, the service was first class with great communication and attention to detail from Mohammed. We highly recommend Telly African safaris

Worthy; Responsible
This is the most impressive trip I've ever experieced. I had compared several company, and this one offered a low price but good accommodations. Meanwhile, service is not bad, we meet a confusion first night about Kibo Camp but Buymore Advanture indeed contacted with them and fix that soon. The only one thing is we didn't discuss enough about the antenna before, but the customer service respond immediately and take much time to explained that. The guide Lee has very good drive skill, he don't talk too much but knows the names of the animals, and made sure that safety first throughout.
I will choose this travel agency again if I come back again.

Unforgettable experience
We had a great 3day safari at The Masai Mara park. The accomodations at Lenchada park and the food were really good. Everyone here were helpful and nice. Our guide James Gichina is a skilled driver and he was the fastest driver and that was really great! He knew exactly where to spot all the animals and knew all interesting information about them. We would highly recommend James and Jocky Tours.

An unbeatable experience
We were 2 families consisting of 4 adults and 6 children travelling from Australia and did a 5 day/4 night safari through Ozon Light Tours.
Right from the start Winfrida was great to deal with – responsive and quick with information, infinitely patient with my 100 questions and flexible to vary the itinerary and design a schedule and accommodations to suit our group. In the lead up to the safari, Ozon helped with reminders, contact information and last minute requests.
When we arrived in Tanzania, our bag had been lost by the airline. As we were heading straight on safari, Clinton from Ozon took control of all communications with the airline and kept me updated with information which reduced my stress.
Issa and Albert were our fantastic guides. Their knowledge of the national parks, animals, cultural practices and other really interesting information was fantastic. We were primarily with Issa and his patience with our children, his skill and safety in his driving and his ability to be flexible according to our family needs was very much appreciated. I have grown up in Africa doing many safari’s so I know the experience and what you see is partly down to luck, but also in a large part down to skill, knowledge and experience of your guide. Issa was fantastic – he knew the parks exceptionally well and was able to draw on his rich experience and connections to make sure we had the best safari possible – and it was absolutely unbeatable as we saw it all! I highly recommend Ozon Light tours for their professionalism from the enquiry stage right the way through to the end of the safari – they have a great team and Issa and Albert made the experience truly unbeatable. Thank you Ozon Light team.
