Fantastic experience and tour operator - everything you want from a tour in Uganda! Loved it!
From the start the communication was always excellent: quick responses with clear answers. It was exceptionally easy to plan with Edris via email, who never failed to answer every inquiry completely. We outlined what we wanted, which was to have everything planned and taken care of and paid for in advance (lodging, food, transportation, activities) and we were not disappointed! The lodging at all hotels was great. My favorite was the cabin that opened up on the Nile in Murchison Falls National Park - I will never forget the playful vervet monkeys on the tree outside and the hippos just steps away in the Nile. Amazing! The tours were incredible - we saw rhinos, chimpanzees, baboons, monkeys, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, antelope, warthogs, many birds, and even a leopard. The game drive was a moving feast for the eyes and by far my favorite day. The activities were filled with everything you'd want: ATVs, river cruises, tracking in the forest, hiking to the top of a waterfall, and shopping for souvenirs. What a wonderful experience, I was sad to leave and look forward to returning in the future!

Perfect planing from our second Tanzania adventure
We had our wish four our second journey in Tanzania. I wrote the ADVENTURE MAKERS Agency a e-mail and we had quickly a good offer. Stephen ... the boss, to fulfilled all our wishes and so we book the 16 days safari there. We arrived the Kilimanjaro Airport. Stephen and our driver Frank was there. We drove together in our first lodge and we had a funny time. Early mornings we start with our tour to the Manyara National park. Soon we could admires six lions on the tree and we saw also a lot of birds and elephants. Our guide Frank was professional, friendly and great what he saw in all the parks, Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Arusha. The three days cultural trip to the Hatzabe and Datoga tribes was fantastic by the Lake Eyasi. We had a great experience to made a hunting with the Hatzabe tribe. We enjoyed a great tour with a lot of adventures. Stephens booking was perfect, our guide Frank, the lodges and camps were fantastic. Stephen was often in contact with us to make sure we were happy as possible. He was also very flexible when we had a wish on tour. Thank you so much Stephen ... and also a big Asante Sana to our fantastic driver, guide Frank. We really enjoyed our Tanzania trip with Adventure Makers.

Fantastic experience
From beginning to end Angela from Tailor Made Safaris went out of her way to make our journey fantastic. No question or adjustment to our itinerary was too much for her. Even during our vacation. The travel kit with phone and GPS is very handy and the book is also very nice. We loved our tour because it was very relaxed, and South Africa stole our hearts.

A perfect trip thanks to Mega Adventures and our guide Ally
My friends and I (a group of 6) had a wonderful safari trip with Mega Adventures at the end of this September. Before the trip, I've contacted a number of safari companies via email, Mohamed from Mega Adv was the more responsive one. He kindly accommodated to most of my requests and patiently answered all my questions.
The vehicle offered to us is a comfortable land cruiser, equipped with fridge and unlimited drinking water. Our guide Ally is very nice, he speaks good English and knows the roads in the parks very well, and most importantly, he knows where to find the games! In 5 days, we've seen all Big 5 (it's a pity we've only seen a rhino in Ngorongoro from far far away) and all kinds of amazing wild life, including mating lions! Whenever we talked about some game we haven't seen yet, Ally will find for us, he even found us a lion sleeping on a huge rock because we couldn't stop singing Circle of Life. He is fun to talk to, also taught us some fun Swahili. It's such a wonderful memory and I really look forward to visiting Tanzania again, and I would recommend Mega Adventure to everyone.

Great tour guide and itinerary. Beautiful country and wildlife.
Ronald was a great tour guide for my week in Uganda. His communication and organization were first rate. The accommodation and food was also excellent, especially considering the remote location of some of the sites. If possible, I would time my arrival and departure from Entebbe and Kampala to try and avoid the traffic, which can be really bad. Great tour!

A Wonder-Full Experience - Best deal for your buck.
I was on safari with Compass Safari in Tanzania this past June. This is, without a doubt, the best tourist experience I have ever had. Mosha, our very experienced driver and guide, knows every nook and cranny where animals are and we saw a lot of them. We even found ourselves sharing the road with a herd of elephants at some point. Owner Pete and Mosha are very kind, polite and professional. Compass Safari is a GREAT safari company and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect safari experience. I am planning another safari with them this coming year.

Another amazing experience designed by Roho Ya Chui
This was our second flawless vacation designed by Roho Ya Chui. Ute always goes above and beyond to make sure the trip exceeds all expectations. The first trip we didn't know what to expect but for this vacation our expectations were very high and even then they were exceeded. Every transfer, every detail, every celebration was carefully mapped out and implemented. Wow, what a great time. AndBeyond was our safari provider and they were also 200%. Ute did a great job mixing the accommodations so we experienced all types of lodging. Although they were all different they were also all fantastic. Luxury Pure. So many fantastic memories. We will for sure use Ute at Roho Ya Chui and AndBeyond again and again. We can't wait to see where the next trip takes us.

an unforgettable experience
As mentioned earlier, the organization of the entire trip, from the hotel to Arusha to the departure for the Kilimanjaro park all prepared very well.
The three very professional guides were always mindful of our needs. The meals, from breakfast to dinner, were well-prepared and abundant. The rooms are decent and clean as well as the amenities.
Six of us went up, unfortunately four suffered mountain malady, having to give up the top. They were promptly accompanied by the always watchful guides. Two reached the top with little effort.

This new safari company goes above and beyond to give you a unique and incredible experience!
This safari company exceeded all of my expectations. Brian and Chris were amazing guides going way beyond what was in the itinerary to show me local villages, peoples and unique landscapes in addition to showing me all the amazing wildlife found in QE National Park. Chris was a very knowledgeable guide and while I myself am a biologist, learned a lot from him about local wildlife and plants. Beyond that, Brian and Chris took great care of me even going so far as to take most of my pictures for me so that I was free to just focus on the experience! The driving was excellent, the food great and the accommodation superb. I would fully recommend this safari company as they are wonderful guides that will give you a really unique experience for a great price. Thanks to both Brian and Chris!
