Good
3/5

Our day trip to Materuni Waterfalls and Kikuletwa Hot Springs was truly remarkable. Our guide, Yousuf, was outstanding knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, ensuring we had a seamless and enjoyable experience.

The hike to Materuni Waterfalls was both scenic and refreshing, leading to a stunning waterfall surrounded by lush greenery. The local coffee making experience was a delightful cultural highlight, offering both fun and insight into traditional coffee preparation.

Afterward, we relaxed at Kikuletwa Hot Springs, a hidden oasis with crystal clear waters, perfect for unwinding. The entire trip was well organized, making it an unforgettable experience.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refreshing and enjoyable day trip in Tanzania

Amazing experience
3/5

I had a really good time and it was an amazing experience seeing the animals in their natural habitat. I booked a day trip, but we started the game drive around 4pm, which limited how much we could see—I only managed to spot two of the Big Five. It would be great if they could adjust their timings for day visitors so there's more time to explore. Overall, it was still a memorable experience, and the guide was fairly okay.

Showed us a good time, but made one very poor decision
3/5

I had a mixed experience with Tubale. I booked the 3 day gorilla trekking tour in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The accommodations that Tubale booked us at were absolutely fantastic, I could not be more impressed with the hotels we stayed at. Also, the team of safari guides, security and trackers (all employed at Bwindi Forest) were superb. They gave us an incredible service and deserve nothing but the best reviews.
As for the tour guide we were paired with…he picked us up from the airport and drove us 10 hours to the Bwindi Forest. He was very accommodating in giving us bathroom breaks and helping out when one of us was car sick. He went the extra mile at the end of our trip to make sure we had a good experience.
Something I did not appreciate though was when we were going to take a ferry across Lake Victoria, he all but left us to fend for ourselves in a busy market while he was doing other things. In a foreign country and in a market we were not familiar with, we were surrounded by hundreds of people and did not feel safe. We did not know what to expect and had poor communication from him. We were left to register, board and ride the ferry by ourselves, and it was a poor decision. Other than that, he did a good job of making sure our trip was as comfortable as possible.

Also, my communication with the travel consultant was lacking. I expected to hear from her prior to the trip just introducing us to our beginning instructions, etc. But I heard nothing. She had previously told me our shuttle from the airport would be free. It was not, and we had to pay for a taxi. I emailed her to let her know for future travelers that this particular hotel does not provide free shuttle, and she responded that she wished I would’ve communicated that to her sooner. I don’t understand how I could’ve done that, having just gotten to the airport and finding out in that moment that there was not a free shuttle. I didn’t hear from her again during or after the trip. Communication from the travel consultant was definitely not thorough enough.

All of this aside, the hour I spent with the gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is one I will remember all my life, it was a precious experience and I am so thankful I got to have it.

we did the 3 Day Nyerere NP (Selous) Road Safari from Dar-Es-SalaamThe safari was in one word amazing. The pick up service, the guide Hendrik, the accommodation, food, and of course the game drive in the park. So special to experience this, and everything was arranged to perfection. really a trip to never forget.

Untrustable
3/5

We had a good guide and Masai driver. But our itinerary did not happen. We missed the evening bush walk and morning safari.

Felix kept asking us more money many times. There were all kind of stories why he needed $100 per person more as a loan. Even after the safari he kept asking for money. I felt very uncomfortable about this. I told many times that we are not giving more money.

Accomodations were good. Safari was good thanks to Masai driver.

We took an extra person with our group. But the van was not big enough for the group. The Land cruiser was big enough on Masai Mara.

Very affordable experience, in would choose Adventure Safaris over and over again. Tour guide was a good communitor (answering all questions we asked) and navigator and at the same time ensured our safety.

Good arranged but we had higher expectations about driver

Unfortunately driver wasn’t very talkable
We wanted to hear more about places and animals in order to have maximal experience from safari .
Car was too old and not clear enough
Otherwise accommodation was fine

Modern African country with many contraddictions
Overall rating
3/5

I was in Cape Town and Kruger park.
Cape Town is scenically beautiful, even if the architecture is not particularly interesting, and there is no real centre, apart from the waterfront that is a bit of a turist trap. But it is always nice to have a city surrounded by the ocean, and the Constantia winery is worth a trip.
Kruger was quite a delusion, with a density of wildlife much lower than other parks I have been (ngorongoro, Serengeti, Etosha), and a big shopping mall close to the entrance. Overall South Africa is less exotic to a Western visitor than other African countries, and keeps the memories on a divided society.

Helpful guide in spotting animals, but lacking English skills
3/5

Our guide was nice, helpful, and helped us spot animals in Serengeti where he was very helpful talking to the drivers of other vehicles in Swahili. He was however advertised as fluent in English, but turned out to have very limited skills. This meant that he was not able to give much flavor to the animals and experiences we were seeing which we missed.
