Amazing Gorilla Tracking Experience with having very flexible and helpful Tour Guides
After having some incidents with the booking agency, the tour operator intensively supported me in finding a solution and making the gorilla tracking tour take place.
The moutain gorilla tour has definitely been the absolute highlight of my two weeks tour in East Africa. In Uganda, I have met the friendliest people ever giving me a very warm welcome to their country Uganda.
Regarding the tour itself everything was very well organized and managed. If you are coming to meet a gorilla, look into his face you really see how they express their feelings and the moment you look into their eyes you become clear that the gorillas are very similar to us.
Knowing that they are an endangered species and there are only a few spots left where they still exist results in the fact that it is a MUST to visit those unique creatures.
I would like to thank Gatatu Safaris for making this experience possible and would highly recommend them at any time.

Karumuna Safaris The way to go
If you are thinking about travelling to Africa, most especially Uganda, Karumuna Safaris is the right way to go. Not only is Richard (Karumuna Safaris) a friendly man but a very trustworthy one at that. We booked and travelled with him in November for a 3 day Kibale Chimps trekking tour and we still talk about the experience right now. While we were in Uganda, he took care of each and every need of ours and he is a person i would gladly book with again. We saw chimps, birds, baboons and had a crater lake experience like no other. He has a vast knowledge about the parks and animals, has good connections with park rangers and hotels. Beautiful communication, beautiful country, beautiful people. This trip exceeded my expectations. Thank you Richard, thank you Karumuna safaris for the best holiday me and mybfriends have ever had.

It was a marvellous experience exceeding all expectations
On the spur of the moment my wife and I decided to take a break over New Year’s Eve 2016/17. We thought that we would look at the Massia Mara as a possible venue. We Googled tour operators in Kenya for a Massia Mara experience. Axis Africa Safaris were the first to respond. We experience excellent customer service from their tour manager, Lenox. We looked at other tour operators to compare price, variety and overall suggestions. However, Axis Africa Safaris came out on top on price and with the most interesting itinerary. We could see that they have lots of experience and listen to their customers’ feedback. We bought the package!
They picked us up near our home in Westlands. We joined a tour party to make a group of seven people. After a while we formed a harmonious team. We all thoroughly enjoyed the four-day Safari. The first two nights were in the Massia Mara and third night in Nakuru followed by a tour of lake Nakuru National Park on the last day. They dropped us back at our home and we all thoroughly enjoyed seeing 2017 in the Mara under the guidance of Axis Africa Safaris. We also made good friends from the USA and Egypt in the process.

So Surprised!!
We decided to take our Kiwi friends on a holiday of a lifetime. We wanted them to experience South Africa. Being South African ourself, we though that there wouldn't be anything new for us, we just wanted our Kiwi friends to be amazed. After extensive research, we decided to make a booking with African Express Safaris.
Well, my husband and I were so surprised with the experience we received! It surpassed our wildest dreams!!
Communication and replying to us, was almost instant, no waiting and wondering. On our arrival we were met by Andrew and he made it clear that he will look after us- and he did. His knowledge and expertise was so much more than expected. It was clear that he knew exactly what we needed. Our accommodation and meals were amazing!! Not to mention all the wildlife we saw (and even interacted with!)
The only regret we have is that we should've booked an extra week...
Well done guys! You thoroughly exceeded our expectations!!

Just a beautiful, once in a life time Experience!
AAS are just fantastic!. From the first email inquiry right to the airport drop off on the final day, they whole team just delivered more than they promised. Anna was fantastic in her communication and helping pick the lodges and designing the itinerary. Our driver/guide (Rogers) was superb! Good English language (i am sure they all speak more than 1 language). Our Gorilla Trek experience was just amazing. By the way if you are worried about your deposit or anything else, forget your worries. AAS is a very professional run company. To keep it short and simple, Just Book Your Holiday with AAS. NO Regrets or Worries Just Beautiful Memories! Thank you so much. You must be proud of your work!

Amazing Guide, Amazing Time
We had an amazing tour. The safari would not have been the same without our guide Hoppy. From the moment he picked us up in Johannesburg we felt like we were family members. Nothing was too much for him, and he has eyes like an eagle. He would spot animals at a distance and we would take several minutes with the help of binoculars to see the same animals that he spotted just with his eyes. He had a vast knowledge of the animals, fauna and birds and it was easy to ask him questions. We had been on other safaris where the guides treated you as just another tourist, Hoppy made the safari fun and enjoyable and helped all the clients interact together. We saw tones of animals and Hoppy made sure we all had our pictures before we moved on. While not on the safari, Hoppy also made sure we had everything we needed and that we were well fed and comfortable. Can not say enough about Hoppy, we saw some of the other guides, and you could tell they were doing a job, and I just kept thinking, wow, we have the best guide by far, one who is not just doing a job but is also passionate about the environment, the animals and us. Can't wait to go back again.
