Amazing! These guys are pros at service and experince
This was one of the coolest experiences we’ve had after traveling 43 countries. If you want to see a part of nature and the planet that most will never do while having the opportunity to connect with gorillas in their natural habitat, then you’re going to want to work with All In Africa Safaris.
We did a 3 day fly in tour since we were in the middle tight on time after a few weeks in Kenya that included short haul flights, lodging, meals and of course, both gorilla trekking and the chimpanzee trekking too. Both were special experiences in their own way and I can’t recommend it enough.
Be aware that the travel within Uganda will be bumpy to say the least. We did it the “easy” way taking safarlink flights within each day, which still included 2-4 hours of drives from lodges, parks etc. most people do the standard route which has drives that can last 10+ hours at a time. Definitely glad we did the full fly-in package with these guys, I would’ve regretted doing the standard long drives, especially since we were tight on time. This will probably 2x your cost but if you have the budget for the fly in option and/or are tight on time, you won’t regret it.
This shouldn’t be a reason to NOT do the gorillas and chimps in Uganda - I just want to be clear it’s not going to be like going to the beach at a resort in Cancun, Mexico :)
It was also super convenient having everything taken care of - we more or less just had to show up and wake up on time - no planning or organizing anything, just pure enjoyment with our time and experience

When I got connected to the agent, Collins L, he was very kind and tried his best to reply my message as soon as possible. Before the start of trip, I was so nervous and wanted to make sure everything again. Collins helped me check again and said everything was gonna be okay, which smoothed my anxiety. I really appreciated his help for organizing the whole trip and met every request that I wanted. Big thanks to him.
After I arrived at the Kenya, he came to greet me and told me again everything was okay, which was really nice.
Our guide, Dickson, is a really nice guy. He always made sure my mom and I were okay, especially my mom. Since she is a little with age, I worried she would feel tired, too and Dickson noticed that. So he always made sure my mom was okay. I really appreciated that. As for hot air balloon, he organized everything for us and worked extra time. I felt thankful for him because he knew my mom was so tired for the daytime safari, he let us to go back to the room to rest and brought the guy who was in charge to the hot air balloon to our room in order to explain the schedule for us. He is really considerate. Dickson also tried his best to find animals for us. Whenever we asked questions about animals, he answered and shared lots of information to us. 👍

It's excellent, highly recommended, with a particular care to the customer's comfort and satisfying.
It was an exciting experience: a very careful service, kind and well communicating staff. The cost was somehow expensive due to the high season, but it should be lower if you book earlier.

Amazing
Goldfinch(Brenda and Frank) were absolutely wonderful to work with. Frank, our tour guide knew people, and had connections everywhere. That enabled us to be in the right spot at the right time on literally every adventurer couldn’t have went any better than it did, he got us right on top of a cheetah hunt as well as a lion hunt. They were always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable safe and had the best experiences. they even agreed to drive us to Mwanza, which no other tour operator would do and that alone helped out immeasurably.

We had a Fantastic Safari!
I cannot recommend Extraordinary Journeys highly enough for anyone planning a safari adventure. From the very beginning, our destination specialist, Brigid, was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was exceptionally knowledgeable about the regions, wildlife, and accommodations, and she took the time to truly understand our preferences and expectations. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the planning process seamless and enjoyable.
Every aspect of our trip was perfectly curated to suit what we were looking for, and Brigid answered every question—big or small—with patience and expertise. Because of her thoughtful planning and the meticulous care taken by Extraordinary Journeys, our safari was nothing short of extraordinary.
The safari camps were outstanding—comfortable, beautifully located, and offering exceptional hospitality. The game drives were unforgettable, with experienced guides who brought the landscape and wildlife to life in ways we could never have imagined.
We also deeply appreciated the behind-the-scenes arrangements that made traveling so smooth. Having friendly, knowledgeable contacts meet us at various African airports to assist with customs, transfers, and other travel logistics allowed us to relax completely and simply immerse ourselves in the experience.
Our journey was truly once-in-a-lifetime, and we will treasure the memories forever. If you want a safari that is thoughtfully designed, stress-free, and absolutely spectacular, Extraordinary Journeys is the way to go.

African Big Cats truly cares about giving you the best experience
We had an incredible time celebrating our honeymoon with African Big Cats! They are well organized, have great communication and are very accommodating. Thank you Emmanuel and Olivia for helping us plan our itinerary and for the smooth booking process. You made our trip so seamless by planning out the optimal route and booking our accommodations.
From start to end, we were very happy with our experience. Kelvin greeted us cheerfully at the airport after a long journey and taught us some basic Swahili and shared some information about Arusha and Tanzania. Thank you Kelvin for the warm welcome and introduction to Tanzania! Your Swahili lesson was very helpful!
Last but not least, our guide Elias was so kind, patient and knowledgeable. My husband is a bird watcher and was thrilled to see over 100 species of new birds that Elias pointed out. You can tell that Elias is an expert guide - he has a hawk eye for spotting animals/birds and knows how to navigate the parks by memory and traverse the rugged roads safely. Thank you Elias for a wonderful and unforgettable experience!

You can trust in kiliclimb
We booked our 6-day, 5-night safari with Kiliclimb. Our safari included Tarangire National Park on the first day, 3 days in Serengeti National Park, 1 day in Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Lake Manyara National Park on the last day. Kiliclimb helped us plan everything down to the last detail before our arrival. They recommended hotels for the first night (which wasn't included in the 6-day package) and arranged our hotel transfers upon arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport and our return trip after the safari. Our guide, Ombeni, was very knowledgeable and always available to meet our needs, especially since my partner has celiac disease, and they were very attentive to our meal plans throughout the entire safari. I can't recommend Kiliclimb and our guide, Ombeni, highly enough for your safari.
In addition to the six-day safari, we added an extra day, also organized by them, to visit the Materuni waterfall and the coffee plantations, and finish the tour at the Chemka thermal lake. Again, they were super efficient and helpful.
Thank you, kiliclimb, for the fantastic experience, and thank you, Ombeni, for giving us a magnificent trip.
