Unforgettable Luxury Gorilla Trekking Safari with Heart of Africa Adventures
We just returned from a 4-day luxury gorilla trekking safari in Uganda with Heart of Africa Adventures, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime. From start to finish, the trip was flawlessly executed with warmth, professionalism, and attention to every detail.
Our driver, Ibra, was phenomenal—friendly, knowledgeable, and an incredibly safe driver, even on the most unpredictable roads. We always felt secure and well taken care of, and his calm presence added so much to the journey.
A huge thank you as well to Shanita, whose coordination behind the scenes was fast, responsive, and seamless. Every detail—from permits to accommodations—was arranged perfectly, and we felt fully supported and informed throughout the process.
One of the highlights of this trip was finally seeing the elusive Shoebill stork. This was our second time visiting Uganda—our first visit we weren’t lucky enough to spot one—but Heart of Africa Adventures went above and beyond by organizing a special excursion just for us (so it was technically a 5 day adventure). Thanks to their expert planning and local knowledge, we got to see this magnificent bird in the perfect location. It was a dream come true!
The accommodations were luxurious, the service and food exceptional, and the gorilla trekking itself was beyond words—humbling, magical, and deeply moving.
The payment process was easy and reassuring—we wired the deposit from a US bank account and Shanita immediately sent confirmation details and we sent the balance before the trip. Everything was handled professionally, and we had no issues whatsoever.
Heart of Africa Adventures exceeded our expectations in every way. We can’t recommend them highly enough and will absolutely travel with them again!
Tip: You may want to add an extra day after the Gorilla trekking for relaxation.

Incredible
Thank you, Benji, for these three unforgettable days on safari in Tanzania! 🦁✨
We were lucky to have Benji as our Spanish-speaking guide, and we couldn't be more grateful. From the very beginning, he was kind, attentive, and friendly, taking care of us 100% in every detail. He made us feel safe and enjoyed every sighting, every journey, and every explanation he gave us with enthusiasm and love for his land.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and for doing so in such a friendly and fun way. You definitely made our safari that much more special, and we'll return home with memories we'll always hold in our hearts. 💛
We recommend Benji to anyone who wants to experience the best possible safari! 🙌🏽🛻✨

Game drive at Kruger National Park
Chovha, our guide for our game drives, was excellent. He goes out of his way to ensure we encounter as many animals as possible. On our first game drive, we were lucky to meet many different animals but we were less lucky on our second day. My children really wanted to see a rhinoceros. Chovha took the roads that were less busy with the hope to see at least one rhino. We unfortunately did not spot any but my family knows that it was for lack of trying. He also communicated with other guides to drive to locations where the big fives have been located. Chovha is patient, he allows us enough time to get the perfect picture. He also parked the car to allow us to get the sunset and sunrise. We had an amazing experience with him and highly recommend him. Thank you for this lovely experience!

An unforgettable safari in Tanzania thanks to Gogiraffe and Nazaret
We had the chance to go on a safari in southern Tanzania with Gogiraffe, exploring Mikumi, Ruaha, and Nyerere national parks — and we came back absolutely thrilled!
Our guide, Nazaret, made this trip truly exceptional. He knows the wildlife and nature inside out and shares fascinating stories not only about the animals but also about the country’s culture and history. Thanks to him, every animal encounter felt like a living story. We felt like we were discovering Tanzania “from the inside,” far beyond a typical safari experience.
If you dream of an authentic safari, full of emotions and discoveries, you can trust Gogiraffe with your eyes closed. And if you have the chance to go with Nazaret, don’t hesitate for a second: you’ll have an unforgettable experience!

Great from Start to Finish
Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club was top notch from setting up the trip all they way through. Prince answered all my many questions for the months leading up to the trip and our guide Gerson was incredible and could not have asked for a better guide.

Del like home with Benji! Safety and adventure for making memories and having the best experience!
Our 7-day safari experience with our guide Benji couldn't have been better. The experience was completely personalized to our liking and consistently focused on making it memorable. Benji is a highly experienced local guide who speaks perfect Spanish. He knows the parks like the back of his hand, allowing us to explore less crowded trails than usual. We traveled for several hours in the middle of August, barely crossing paths with other safari vehicles. We visited Tarangire, the entire Serengeti, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Arusha National Park. Each park is unique and we loved it. Benji's passion for photography also gave us the best memories. An experience we'll repeat again and again!

INCREDIBLY MAGICAL
I had an incredible experience with Key2Africa on two unforgettable safari trips. Both journeys were expertly organized and incredibly immersive, allowing me to witness the stunning wildlife up close and personal. The highlight of both safaris was definitely seeing the Big 5—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhinoceros—in their natural habitats, which was truly breathtaking. The guides were knowledgeable, passionate, and attentive, ensuring we had the best possible viewing opportunities while respecting the environment. Everything from the scenic landscapes to the exciting wildlife encounters exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Key2Africa, I now have lifelong memories and a deep appreciation for Africa’s incredible wildlife and wilderness.

Very reliable , honest and helpful
We took the amazing 4 day Rwanda Golden Monkeys visit and Uganda Gorilla trekking tour with an island stay on the Uganda Lake Bunyonyi for a bird safari.
Lulu Safaris offered the most comprehensive and interesting tour out of Kigali with the least amount of driving to reach all these destination. The reservation process was simple and easy to process with my credit card. Elvis was very responsive to answer all our questions about logistics and requirements. He provided superior service and honesty when we overpaid and was able to arrange a credit back to my account. I would book with him anytime again.
Smith, our guide and driver, was super friendly and did his best to anticipate what we would like to see and experience on our journey in addition to what was outlined on the itinerary. He definitely did whatever he could to make us comfortable and patiently adjusted any timing to our shopping for souvenirs needs. He took care of us like we were his big sisters and watched over our safety and wellbeing.
The tour most certainly exceeded our expectation on all levels with what we saw and experienced. It definitely was a trip of a lifetime.

8 day safari
We loved our budget safari with Tropical Wild Expeditions. Susan was very communicative and helpful as we planned our trip. I initially contacted 5 or 6 companies and this one provided the most helpful and detailed information as we planned our trip. Susan was patient and thoughtful for the 5 months I e-mailed her prior to booking. She helped us tailor it to our needs and made herself available by e-mail throughout the safari. Her prices were fare and seemed better than other companies. And this company is a woman owned Kenyan company. We did an 8 day safari, but a 7 day one would have been fine. If we ever go to Kenya again we will use this company.
