Simply amazing- there is no other way to say it.
This is is certainly the best park in Uganda, with the most wildlife and the elusive wild dog, cheetah and ostrich. Other animals include hyena, lion, leopard, zebra, water buck, buffalo, giraffe, jackals and many more. You learn so much about the tribes here, and the birding was terrific.

What a welcome to sub-Saharan Africa!
The trip was a dream come true. Everything met or exceeded our expectations. The recommendations [with one minor exception] were spot on and made this one of the best holidays that we have taken.
If I am nit-picking I would say that the hotel in Dar was the wrong choice for what we needed i.e. an evening in Dar before an early flight to the UK. Somewhere in the city centre would have saved us nearly 2 hours of rush hour traffic for a hotel that we barely saw in daylight. Even so it was an experience seeing what was beeing sold as we sat in the traffic so it wasn't all bad

An amazing experience
Booking was easy and emails always received a speedy response.
We were picked up from where we were staying in Johannesburg and driven to the Lodge where we received a very warm welcome. The accommodation was luxurious, and the surrounding gardens a lovely calm oasis for relaxing and viewing the watering hole.
We saw a wide variety of game on the drives, including elephant , giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, black rhino, warthog, kudu, springbok,and many beautiful birds. The highlight was when a pack of wild dogs made a kill at the boundary fence in front of the Lodge.

Great Services
I work with an NGO that has used Eastern Vacations many times. Their bus driver Johnson is great and as a woman I feel comfortable traveling in Kenya with Eastern Vacations. Mwasi, Bosco, Becca are great safari drivers. I would highly recommend Eastern Vacations to anyone looking for a Kenya tour company.

A most wonderful way to celebrate my birthday!!
We planned this trip to celebrate my birthday in a rustic style - & we weren't disappointed! Mike, our guide was so knowledgeable about the park & its inhabitants, we cant thank him enough!! He looked after our every needs & we all learnt so much about the wildlife in the park. The vehicles were road worthy & comfortable. We enjoyed every moment & would highly recommend this tour

would come back any time
We had a very well organized trip with a combination of various flavors of lodges and approaches to getting to know African Animals. All places were very friendly and welcoming. The timing was good and the 2 guides were very knowledgeable and great to be around.

We love Johnson!
We have used Eastern Vacations every year we've been to Kenya. The staff is always pleasant to be around and very knowledgeable when we go on safari. Johnson, our bus driver is always great to be around. I would highly recommend doing business with this company. You won't regret it.

Unbelievable Time in Uganda/Rwanda!
I could not be happier that I followed the advice of the other reviews and chose to travel with Africa Adventure Safaris! Anna was fantastic in her communication and ability to customize an itinerary to my liking. Patrick, the driver/guide, was top notch. I was amazed by his knowledge and instantly felt comfortable traveling with him as a solo traveler. This company was extremely professional and personal from the early planning stages through my return home. Choose Africa Adventure Safaris and you are in for a trip of a lifetime!

Great Safari for Great Price
My two friends and I were looking for a budget safari but we still wanted to go to the best parks and see all the animals. We ended up going with Northern Masailand Safaris because Henry, the owner, was persistent and a good businessman. He matched and even beat other quotes we received from other companies. He set us up with a group who were already planning a safari during the same time, and was very flexible with our needs. We visited the top 5 parks in Tanzania in 5 days, and even saw the Big 5 in the first three days! While I originally wanted to spend more time in Serengeti, it was fun to see a different terrain every day. (although, if you have more time, I would recommend more time in Serengeti) We had a fantastic time and loved our guide, Saleh and the cheft, Faraj. We have no regrets and have great memories and pictures to remind us of an awesome safari!
