Review about Budongo Forest by Astrid EM
It is an incredible experience to be utterly alone in a jungle! Only the ranger an I trekked for over an hour along very narrow paths, sometimes not even along a path. No sound except the odd rustling. I saw a lot of butterflies but no birds or animals until we found the troop of chimpanzees. We spent a good 45 min to an hour with them which was very special. Eventually they moved off and so did we. Unforgettable!

Review about Mabamba Swamp by Astrid EM
Although I did not find a shoebilled stork, there are so many other birds, some of which I had never seen before. It was a wonderful morning. Peaceful and simply a beautiful experience. My guide Irene has incredible knowledge of all the birds.

Review about Murchison Falls National Park by Astrid EM
Coming from South Africa, I have been to many other national parks. At Murchison Falls NP the scenery is quite monotonous, though the tall grass is a beautiful contrast to the sand roads. Cob, elephants and giraffes seem to dominate the wildlife scene, but I did see buffalo and some other antelope as well but no zebra. The lion kill had been close to the road but too many safari vehicles were bunched together at the site, so the lions moved off into the tall grass. Another highlight was the quick sighting of a leopard walking though the grass. The birding was very rewarding!

Great guide, very knowledgeable, helped to get to know the local people and surroundings.
It was great doing business with Hooves of Africa. They streamlined and changed the trip itinerary (Gorilla trekking) to exactly what I wanted. I had the flexibility to stay longer at places I liked. Their choice of accommodation was acceptable (budget). All provided great rooms with great bedding, food and space to enjoy time. The guide and driver they provided was excellent. He knew his way around and always found the best spots. Communication with the company was good, very responsive also via phone.
The payment could have been a bit easier via credit card without extra fees.
Overall, they are very reliable, and you get what you want not what they try to sell you. Definitely would book with them again.

One in a lifetime experience
We had a wonderful tour with Thom. We cruised through the parks for 9 days and got to know the country and its people. Thom has a very good feel for the animals and a lot of interesting information that he is happy to share. Otherwise he is a nice guy. The accommodations were all top notch.

We really enjoyed our safari trip
We really enjoyed our safari trip in Tanzania. The organization was excellent. We travel a lot abroad but this trip was special. All thanks to the guide/driver. A guy with a lot of knowledge knew how to locate all the animals. Excellent driving ability, very helpful. He took care of all our needs. Our guide was the one and only Nelson Isaac.

the safari was really good. we could see all the animals desired. it had a good atmosphere and the g
the choice of hotel was perfect. very nice personal setting welcoming impeccable bedding. there is nothing to say about the comfort of the hotel. on the other hand as far as food is concerned there are no varied dishes and we usually stay on our hunger.
the KIKITU guide, this guy... he is of incomparable depth. he is really a good helpful and always on genrtil. he knows how to put people at ease and is always at the care of others. it is my favorite of the adventure.
Being French-speaking we were able to adapt thanks to him. it was a magical and beautiful adventure.
