Excellent trip all around
We went to the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park with my sister for a day trip from Kigali. Alex was the best driver we have ever had on a tour. He drove patiently and safely, he was very helpful, professional and friendly. The guides at the trek were also knowledgeable, and made experience as amazing as we'd imagined it would be. The national park is situated in a breathtaking part of Uganda, where you also get to see parts of the country where you may not have a chance to go otherwise. I would absolutely recommend this trip to everyone.

Wild Media Safaris: Where Adventure Meets Heart
After spending a week on safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara, guided by Cornell from Wild Media Safaris, we can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. From the very first moment, Cornell and Jackie welcomed us with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. When our flights had a few issues, they immediately offered to pick us up at Kilimanjaro Airport instead of Arusha, making us feel completely supported and stress-free.
Jackie crafted our tour with incredible attention to detail, tailoring everything exactly to our wishes. She shared all the details with us in advance, leaving no surprises once we were on the ground.
Calling Cornell a “guide” doesn’t do him justice – after a week with him, we found a true friend. He has a huge heart, always ensuring we were happy, comfortable, and enjoying every moment. He went above and beyond to make the experience richer and more unique, exceeding all our expectations!
Professionally, Cornell stands out from any other guide we’ve seen. He is deeply respectful of the parks’ rules and wildlife: he never got too close to the animals, approached them slowly, and even turned off the engine to avoid disturbing them. On top of that, he shared an incredible amount of knowledge and fascinating facts about the animals – he really knows his stuff.
Wild Media Safaris is more than a company – it’s a team of people who genuinely care about making your safari magical. If you want an experience full of heart, adventure, and true connection with nature, you can’t find better guides. We can’t recommend them enough!

Professional and friendly guidance
Our group has Lion Guides as guide for climbing Kilimanjaro. All the team members were very supportive, professionals, polite and friendly providing all the necessary help, equipment, positive energy, warm atmosphere to complete our goal and we achieved it. I hope to see them again.

Excellent customer service and attention to detail. Would definitely use again
Right from the outset Serengeti Smile have been a pleasure to deal with. Erick looked after all aspects of our holiday and was so helpful answering all our questions as we designed our perfect safari holiday together. Every time we had a new request he responded very quickly.
From the minute we landed everything was taken care of. Our transfers were always on time and very comfortable, big thank you to Oswald who took us around Arusha for a visit.
Our safari guide Daniel was very knowledgeable and we felt well looked after and safe at all times, and we had a lot of fun!
The standard of all accommodations and dining was excellent and service was very good.
One of the highlights for us was the hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti, an amazing experience!
This was a holiday of a lifetime and we are so pleased we chose Serengeti Smile. We would not hesitate to use them again if we are lucky enough to come back to beautiful Tanzania one day! Thank you Erick, Oswald, Daniel and all the team at Serengeti Smile!

Great experience ! 10/10
I had an incredible safari experience as a solo traveler in the Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. My guide, Victor, was truly amazing—extremely knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to share fascinating insights about the wildlife and landscapes. He made the entire journey smooth and enjoyable, ensuring I felt safe and well taken care of throughout. The chef also prepared delicious meals that added so much comfort to the trip. Overall, the combination of Victor’s expertise and the wonderful hospitality made this safari an unforgettable adventure.
SN: The last day of the safari was on my actual birthday and the chef made sure that i got a cake. He made it at the campsite the night before 🥹 talk about over and beyond!!!! Then when leaving on the last day, Happiness brought out another cake that was beautifully and wonderfully made! I felt loved even though i was solo! I have no regrets!!

A sister reunion that could not have turned out better!
I began planning this vacation to Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zanzibar-Pemba Island with Aina from Magical Gorilla Adventures almost two years ago. After reading a variety of company reviews on Trip Advisor, I was content to begin with their company.
From the beginning, Aina was personable, efficient, and responsive. When I protested the cost of her first suggested package price, telling her that our group wasn't looking for luxury, she quickly made the switch and cut the price in half. And the accommodations she booked for us were still charming, clean, and more than comfortable. Our favorite place in Rwanda was the 5V Lodge, and the Matawi Serengeti Lodge in Tanzania. But we enjoyed all of our stays immensely.
I can't say enough about our drivers/guides. Innocent (Rwanda) and Godfrey (Tanzania) became part of our family during this time together. We laughed so much with them, shared so many stories, and they were so good at their jobs, that we will never forget their contribution to a very special sister's vacation!
When Aina went on maternity leave early in 2025, Kolo took over our booking and carried it off like a champion. He stayed in tough with our drivers, making sure we made our flight times, that our hotels were expecting us, and that our drivers were the first to know if the itinerary had changed. We are deeply thankful for the crew from MGA. They made our sister's reunion the best time it could possibly be!

A smooth and amazing experience
This was definitely an unforgettable experience. Naomi was our contact person. She is very friendly and responds very quickly. We asked for a 6-day safari quote. She is very considerate and has provided different versions of the quote so we can compare and decide. And a huge thank you to Evans, our tour guide. He is friendly, professional, knowledgeable and has great driving skills. This was our first time to Kenya and first safari trip. He had shown us so many different birds and we even got a photo of an owl with pink eyelid. I still don’t know how he found it. The owl was sleeping and looked like a tree branch from distance. We also saw hyenas, lions, leopards, cheetah and of course so many zebra, topi, gazelle, wildebeests, elephants, giraffes, gerenuk, jackals and more! It was a safe, fun and happy experience and we highly recommend Antonio Safari.

Best tour operator in Namibia!
People Tours had several advantages:
1. The best thing about them is their guide Luke. He is very very well informed, a nice human being and also good for a well rounded chat while you are on the road. He is very very passionate about Namibia and goes beyond extra to ensure you will have a great trip. I think my #1 reco to visit Namibia is to do it with Luke.
2. Aina was the one helping plan the itinerary. She is very responsive and was quickly available on WhatsApp to help plan the trip.
3. A plus is People tours also own the baggage delivery service for airlines. Our bags were delayed by over 24 hours. But we didn’t even check on the baggage as the entire thing was well managed by People Tours. Highly recommend them
