Having a great safari depends on patience, time and... a great guide like Amos!
What can I say? I just can't wait to figure out when I'll be back again...
Our highlights would be:
* Safari Multiways - the friendliness and willingness to help of Romeo ("the big boss") and its workers, the passion of our guide Amos while working, the super tasty food of Dogo...
* 6 day camping safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) - the luck of watching how a family of lions hunted, watching the sunrise and the sunset in the Serengeti, seeing a leopard having its breakfast on top of a tree, the zebras chewing right next to our tent in the night, the hyena's howl, the stunningly beautiful sights everywhere and the huge difference between each and every park, being incredibly close to wild animals such as lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, cheetahs, baboons, gazelles, antelopes, etc.
The affordability of their tour was a big plus (because at the end, most of the companies offer almost the same but, in my case I rather raising up my costs by giving it in tips generously to the ones that will take care of me those days), but I would also like to mention that you may feel the lower cost compared to others in things like having a tent in worse condition than others around you or the quality and size of the chairs and table we use for eating... But the minuses weren't many neither too important.
We wanted to make an special mention to Amos, the greatest guide ever, never lazy, always adventurous and professional who really wanted to make our experience a unique one! Unfortunately, we got a guide change for the last day and we really felt the difference, no one like Amos! Make sure you read some reviews about the guides and try to find out yours before you come! It truly matters to have someone competent just like Amos was everyday during the whole trip.
I would definitely repeat the experience with Safari Multiways and recommend them to anyone around the world!

Fanstastic safari, highly recommended!
We booked a 5 day camping safari, Mwanza-Serengeti-Ngorogoro-Lake Manyara-Tangarire-Arusha. Victor was very responsive and helpful with all our questions during the booking process (including quick communication of receipt of the initial deposit). The safari itself was fantastic -lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, ostriches, etc, etc!! Our guide was very experienced, enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the routes to take, the animals and birds. Our guide was also a very safe driver and the vehicle was comfortable and spacious. The food from our cook was varied and good. The tent was large and was fine with coping with some heavy rain overnight. Overall, I'd highly recommend Vic Tours, a great experience throughout!

Serengeti adventure with Asili Explorer - lived up to all our expectations!
Going to Tanzania to see the wildebeest migration was a life long dream for me! So after making the decision to go the next step was to select a tour operator. There were 3 factors - price, quality of service and having a reliable tour operator to take care of all logistics once we were in the country. Well, I can honestly say that Joe and his company Asili Explorer ticked all the boxes. Joe was able to offer a variety of packages that worked with our budget, he was super flexible when it came to planning our dates and the sites we wanted to see. Service was brilliant making our whole holiday really easy and stress-free. The accommodation selected was wonderful - giving us a truly African experience. The best was placed we stayed in was in the Serengeti - the tented accommodation was not what we expected - it was better! Waking up in the middle of the bush was a magical experience! And finally our guide, Efatha - was a wealth of knowledge, particularly on birds and willing to answer our thousands of questions! Thank you Joe and Efatha - you made our experience a dream come true!

PT
No value for money
The experience was not good. We did 4 days ( Maasai and Nakuru)
The driver was not kind. He didn't listen to our requests. First day we wanted to go for a game drive and he wanted to rest, we were waiting for him. we were always the first car returning to the hotel.
He have few information about the animals and landscape and everytime we did a question he answered with sarcasm ( sometimes he even don't answer)
Finally, we drive 7 hours to Nakuru to do 1 hour game drive on the first day and on he second day again only one hour. We arrived very early in nairobi just for nothing.
Definitely it was not a good experience

Grassrootz listened carefully to all our wishes and organized a wonderful trip to Western Uganda
Your trip to Uganda already starts with a good laughter when meeting director Sander van Zanten! He listens carefully and asks the right questions with a good sense of humor. As we wanted to start our trip in Rwanda, Sander offered several ideas what to do and where. We could add additional activities to the suggested programme easily. All you need to know about visa requirements, health certificates, you can ask him and you get the answer in due time.
We had a perfect match with our guide and chauffeur David Otto. Being a family travelling with three young adults (age between 18 and 21), David understands perfectly what the trip makes interesting and a pleasant journey for them. We enjoyed the splendid wildlife in Western Uganda thanks to Davids knowledge and enthousiasm for mother natures beautifull creations. Be prepared to raise early (5.30 am), you are rewarded with a unique experience. A big plus: we had good conversations about serious things in life as well. David is a perfect driver, small problems with our car were solved practically. Combining nature, adventure and a good grasp of culture is what you get! With Grassrootz you stay at community accommodations which we appreciated so much. We wanted to experience how ordinary Ugandans live in their villages and grow their crops in the fields. This expectation was 100 percent fulfilled.
Enjoying Kampala, music and city life was a good completion of our three week trip. Enjoy your day, every day! Grassrootz Uganda helps you make it possible.

Firstly very patient in planning, excellent and very knowledgeable guide who did everything to help
Accommodation chosen was terrific, advice on best options excellent, Ugandans are lovely and very friendly, the company was well organised and credible. Had an awesome experience in Queen Elizabeth, Kibale and Mburo. What would I do differently - with the same company. From what I hear probably include Murchison Falls. It was all excellent and most of all quality food and very safe. I am an older woman that travelled on my own and it was easy.

They made my once in a lifetime experience a once in a lifetime experience
On our trip 8 of us had a 4 day safari and 8 day Mt Kilimanjaro climb. Brenda was super helpful at very stage from planning until we boarded the plane home. We were treated as family friends with our trip customized to meet our wishes and needs. Emails and skype calls prior to the trip were half full in making sure we were prepared and also that our expectations were being met. The experience was beyond my expectations. The safari was incredible with knowledgeable drivers, great lunches, water packed for us every day. The hotel accommodations varied and were all wonderful. Brenda was able to get updates from Festo while we were on the mountain and she kept our family and friends updated on our progress. They were thankful for this because when we did not have cell service and no other way to let them know how we were doing.
I can't say enough positives about our experience and how thankful I am for their part in making this a trip I will never forget.

Footsteps of the Masai Trek
Excellent trek with Sam and his team, very well looked after, food delicious, tents very comfortable. We even had a shower rigged up in a couple of camps which was great after a hard days trekking. Sam was very knowledgeable about the areas we trekked in and was able to keep us well informed. I felt very safe being out in the bush with Sam and his team and would not hesitate to recommend him.
