The entire experience from the moment I made contact with Rose at The Luxury Safari Company until check out was outstanding.
It was an absolute magical experience from the moment we landed in VF.

Helpful
Communication was fine, I got always a quick response for all of my questions.
The tour itself was incredible, I saw the big five. There was no crowd at begging of June. Every activities was very good, walking or cycling safari, visiting maasai village. Was nice to see the people there that they appreciate everything they have
Fantastic Service & A great Trip!
Jangwa was fantastic in designing the itinerary for our two-week self-drive safari. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, and nothing was ever too much trouble — even when our table broke and we had a flat tyre, they promptly sorted it all out for us with a replacement table and tyre change.
The app they provided was also excellent, giving us a day-by-day breakdown of our trip along with some great insider tips!

A dream honeymoon, a dream trip - book with Buyaga and go to Uganda!
Where do I start with how wonderful Buyaga Safaris is...and Uganda as a country!
After reading all the excellent reviews on here, and Google, I decided to contact Peter at Buyaga to get a quote for our honeymoon as I was especially keen to support a Ugandan led and based company, and I'm so glad I did. Peter was so responsive from the off, understanding our brief, sharing an incredible itinerary and at a remarkably reasonable price, and swiftly replying to all queries before departure. Including a panicked call from us 3 hours before we were due to leave for the airport having discovered we'd not secured the necessary visa - which, as he was in country, was able to help us with at speed and ultimately saved our whole honeymoon! (Thanks again, Peter!!)
The trip itself was beyond all our wildest dreams. We were made to feel like VIP's from the moment we arrived thanks to our excellent guide, Simpson who was just superb in every way. Funny, interesting, patient, an excellent driver, and a general dream to travel with for two weeks.
The accommodation we stayed at was superb. Delicious food, very warm, welcoming staff (that's Uganda for you!) and mind blowing views every where we went. The river Nile, rain forests, savannah national parks, lakes - each hotel had something new to offer so it became impossible to compare them as they were all so superb.
The trips were phenomenal too. Safari breakfasts and dinners on the shores of Lake Albert, chimp treks, gorilla treks, Golden Monkey treks, swamp treks, nature walks up close with the giraffes of Mburo national park, swimming in Lake Bunyonyi, and more. Every day just felt like a new dream was being realised.
We couldn't have imagined anything better for our Honeymoon. Buyaga sorted us out perfectly, and Uganda is a country that has it all - safari, rainforest, primates and apes, lakes, delicious food, wonderfully warm people and so much more.
Book with Buyaga, you won't be disappointed.

EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE OF
we have loved how organizedthe tour was, we did not have to check anything and all the guides knew what was our plan (you will probably do different tours with different group of people). even if we had many problems with our flights the company helped us with all we could hve had problems.
thank you very much

The best ever will never forget it
I booked a seven-day safari trip with Humphrey. At first, I was hesitant and had some concerns, but from the moment we arrived at the airport, I was amazed by the level of organization and care shown by Humphrey and his team.
I don’t usually write reviews, but this time I felt compelled to do so—because this wasn’t just an ordinary safari trip; it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience in every detail.
From the start, Humphrey’s attention, assistance, and incredibly detailed advice were impressive. Then came the highlight of our trip—our amazing guide Godwin, with whom we spent six unforgettable days. My phone and camera memories were filled with stunning shots and breathtaking moments. The information he shared about nature and wildlife was fascinating. His calm demeanor and attentiveness to our safety were exceptional.
Khalid was also with us during the trip, preparing delicious meals every day. The food was simply wonderful. On our final day, when we visited the Materuni Waterfalls, we were accompanied by Hudhaifa, whose energy and liveliness made the day even more joyful—it was filled with incredible moments.
In the end, I must say I will never forget the moment we saw a group of leopards, a herd of elephants, or how each national park had its own unique natural charm. Even the animals that visited our camp in Ngorongoro were part of this unforgettable adventure.
Thank you to everyone for the memories you’ve etched into our hearts. I’m sure they’ll stay with us for a very long time.

Excellent safari and accomodations
Our trip was really amazing. The fact that Akondo organized everything initially according to our time and budget was really an asset. On the first day communication was not so good because the tour programme said we had breakfast included on that day and it wasn't, and so we tried to explain them that they should exclude that from the programme, which I hope they do to get it clear. But other than that, Boris was available to answer all our questions and communication any time,since the first moment . The hotels and lodge they work with have really good quality. We did 3-day safari with our guide Richard that revealed a lot of knowledge about the national parks, tha masaaai, and biodiversity on the region. He was also very gentle, respectful, sensitive and funny, and tried to provide the best experience to us every minute

John Paul is an experienced tour guide who led us on the trip of a lifetime!
We had an incredible two-week safari in Tanzania led by John Paul. His 20+ years of experience was evident in his knowledge of the areas we visited and the species we saw. John Paul always put us in the closest position for capturing the best pictures of the animals. His friendly demeanor was wonderful for our 3-generation family of six, including two children ages 9 and 13. One morning in Tarangire National Park, John Paul spotted a leopard lying on a tree. The leopard was camouflaged by the tree it was lying on and we were so impressed with our guide's keen eye. We watched the full-bellied feline for a long time, observing its behavior in its natural environment. It was an experience we will never forget. During our safari we were lucky enough to see the Big 5 animals in African safaris and experience the culture and people of Tanzania. We are so thankful to Serengeti Smile and John Paul for this lifetime memories trip.

Kalifa was the BEST guide. Dedicated, highly skilled and knowledgeable
We did the 3 day tent experience in Masai Mara and it was INCREDIBLE! The whole experience was better than I could have ever imagined. Our tour guide (Kalifa), was beyond knowledgeable and was clearly an expert of the terrain and wildlife. He knew how to track the animals and could easily predict what they were going to do next. This allowed us the most amazing views and photos. After 1.5 days we had seen the BIG 5!!! Highly impressed. Our camp site was additionally a great time. The staff were very kind, the tents very comfortable and the food was amazing! Highly recommend this experience.
