Wonderful impressions of Uganda
We - parents with 18 year old daughter- made a round trip from Kampala to Budongo-Murchison-Rwenzori Lake Mburo-Kampala in 10 days. We don't want to spend much money and choose good and not expencive Lodges. The Budongo EcoLodge has good meals (2 of us are vegetarians-no problem) and is situated in the forest. We enjoyed the birding tour very much with a guide who had much knowledge. Great was the game drive and boat cruise in Murchison NP. Red Chili hide-away has a nice view over the NP and friendly stuff. In Rwenzori NP it wasn't easy (for us) to head to Ruboni community hill trek. To see a three horned chameleon during the walk was fantastic.
In Lake Mburo the Rwonyo camp with tents is simple and it is not easy to get to the restaaurant at the seaside. You always need a ranger to get there because of the animals on the way. We meet Felex from Rainforest Tours, drivers, park wardens and rangers who all arrive in time and are very helpfull and friendly. Our expectations are more than fullfilled.

A breathtaking experience
First of all, I would like to thank our amazing driver and guide mr Raymond. because of him we had an incredible safari and very close up experience with the big five. Not only is Raymond very knowledge of the park, but he is also very well connected with his colleagues and as result of that we were in the front row and saw a lot of animals. we were able to take great photos too. This safari has been years in the making for me and my family and Raymond made it the best most memorable experience. I would highly recommend Karibu safari in Kenya.

excellent planning and support service
I am very impressed with their professionalism and responsiveness. I got helped during the planning (6 months before) and the keep up following in all the steps. Also very good respond of all my inquiries during the time I was traveling.
The only way to experience the bush and animals!
My husband booked us into 2 Essential Destinations camps: Mdonya Old River in Ruaha and Lake Manze in Selous Game Reserve. It was an amazing adventure. I did not want an experience of crowds, competing for sights and space, high maintenance group concerned with material things and appearances, or a setting of disrespect for the environment. These 2 camps were amazing offering us our own flush toilets and showers, lovely tents, romantic candles and lanterns, companionship if wanted and privacy if wanted, incredibly creative and delicious food, and the best views of animals ever. The staff at both camps were friendly, kind, caring, walking encyclopedias of knowledge and they tailored our game drives to what we hoped to see. We learned an amazing amount about every animal, plants, the basics in tracking, identification of similar species and gender, and even droppings. I loved that just my husband and I were in the vehicle with a driver and guide (although the drivers are most likely also guides-not sure but very knowledgeable). Two sets of trained eyes are better than one. I was thankful for the open vehicle. I saw other game drives from different camps and noted that they were sweltering in a closed vehicle with only a driver (one set of trained eyes who is also driving) and had to stand up and look out of the roof to see, not my idea of a good experience. I loved the sights and practical and entertaining info. Leave your windows open to see and hear more animals in your cozy and lovely tent.
We loved every minute.

Self-drive trip to Namibia
We have just returned from a 2 1/2 week trip around Namibia organised by Simon at Native Escapes. The holiday exceeded our expectations in every way. Right from our initial conversations with Simon about what we'd like to do, Native Escapes gave us a range of flexible options and patiently went through each location in terms of accommodation, things to do, travel between locations etc... Emails were always promptly responded to and no question was too much trouble. All the documentation, itinerary etc. was very clear, the route and maps were very helpful and the on-the-ground agent, ATI, was v helpful providing local mobile phone, first aid kit, and even a cool box and ice blocks. One of our party had a specific dietary requirement which was recognised at every point from the airline flights to each lodge we stayed in. Finally the overall cost was very competitive when compared to some of the other big brand operators who offered exactly the same package (we know coz we met some of their clients at the lodges we stayed at). So thank you Simon and Native Escapes for a brilliant holiday and all your help in organising it.
Very helpful and timely
Communications with us were very good .A couple of minor points to make it even better.
1.The "local payment" requirement by the tour operator Jenman and its $Aust amount was not highlighted and should be added into the base cost.
Service to us was excellent including sorting out gluten free meals for flights.
2.Unfortunately our guide had not been informed despite our application clearly stating the allergy.Not sure if the failure was with the tour operator.
Tour certainly lived up to expectations with a great itinerary,excellent guide and wonderfull experiences.
A fantastic experience .Thanks .

Very professional company and Robert was very happy to explore options for us.
Wild Africa was a very profession friendly company to deal with. Robert promptly attended to our enquiries and investigated issues he did not immediately know the answers to. The trip was an amazing experience and well organised.
