The Pearl of Africa
Just back from an absolutely amazing 5 day trip through Rwanda and Uganda with ATA , the highlight being our Gorilla Trek in Bwindi National Park. It was an experience of a lifetime.
From the very beginning Nicholas was instrumental in the planning of this incredible trip. He was a pleasure to deal with, professional and attentive. He replied promptly and no question was left unanswered.
We chose the midrange option and the accommodation far exceeded our expectations. Breakfast lunch and dinner were included at the lodges and the staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful.
Our guide Richard was great. He was very knowledgeable and we had good fun together.
I have been travelling to Africa for over 15 years now and I have to say that this trip ranks as one of the best.
I can highly recommend Africa Tours Adventure.

Great safari
Diana arranged a 1 week safari for my 18 year old son and myself. The itinerary was perfect and everything turned out as it was planned. Our driver George was very knowledgeable, knew lots of animals/birds and always looked to it that we got the most out of the various safaris.
I can fully recommend Adventure Expeditions and would love to do other trips with them as well.
Thank you for everything - Korina from Germany

First time and it was lovely.
The whole experience was great once I pinned down my booking as this time of year was very busy. The transport was great, the accommodations were a nice surprise and the people were friendly and helpful. I also thought that it was very reasonable. It couldn't have been a more perfect fit for my Safari wishes. Thank you.

Secured 18 gorilla permits for my group
With Katona's help I managed to book 18 gorilla passes for my team. The permits were for Ruhija and Buhoma in Bwindi forest.
Copies of scanned receipts for the permits were sent to me 3 days after receiving the funds.

Amazing experience with great guides
Wow, what an experience. From the first initial contact with Immaculate to the final farewell at the airport we couldn't have asked for better service. Heri tours were able to tailor the tour to our needs including picking us up from the airport and a few extra nights accommodation either side of the safari. We met our guide Mike and immediately felt at ease. What he didn't know about animals isn't worth knowing! He was able to give us facts about the different animals and knew where would have the best chance of spotting them! Our chef, John, was amazing too. He was able to knock up all sorts of meals from the basic of ingredients using only camp stoves! I couldn't recommend this company highly enough! Fantastic experience with great memories!

Excellent - so much better than expected
Fastest back and forth communication with Beacon safaris vs. other providers.
Great explanations re pros of each camp/ using a 4x4 with no hard upselling which was much appreciated.
Excellent guide!!! Ken was easy to get along with, very polite, chatty when we wanted to chat, without being overly talkative -important as I am quite grumpy in the early morning :)
And most importantly, Ken saw it as a personal mission to get us to see the big cats and more animals. And when we didn't see as much after 1 drive, we could tell he was more disappointed than we were! We were not disappointed at all as we saw 7 cheetahs, 11 lions (male, female & cubs), the wildebeest migration and river crossing, a black rhino, hippos, elephants, zebras, giraffes and 2 live kills. We were admittedly very lucky but we also had an excellent guide.
We have already recommended Beacon Safaris to all our friends!

Honeymoon Safari in Masai mara
it was just amazing! Bison safaris was always kind enough to help us any time.
Maggie responded quickly to all my questions so i was relieved and she gave us surprise honeymoon cake in our room. our driver Martin is so knowledgeable about Masai mara and animals, he tried his best to show us many animals. we wanted to take wedding photo there and he took it for us. he is a good driver, good guide and good photographer!! I recommend Bison Safaris.

Amazing vacation with Twaha!
We had the most amazing experience on a two-week trip all around Uganda with Twaha in June. Twaha took such wonderful care of us -- he was an excellent driver, knew where all of our hotels were, found us the best safari guides, and shared so much knowledge about Ugandan food, culture, and wildlife with us. It was a truly fantastic trip in every way possible, and that was in large part thanks to Twaha! Thank you for an unforgettable vacation!
