They were professional in delivery of their services.
They offered timely communication which greatly contributed to a smooth and enjoyable holiday. We were guided by a lady who not only was professional but also gave great company. We visited Lake Mburo National park and Mt. Rwenzori national park both in the south of Uganda. Mukisa safaris met more of our expectations than anticipated. I look forward to travelling with them in the future!

Perfectly Planned Unforgettable Adventure into the land of the Mountain Gorilla
If you ever dreamed of looking into the eyes of a 1500 pound Mountain Gorilla, this is the trip for you. If you dreamed of doing it effortlessly and affordably, then this is the company for you. I spent 12 days with my own private guide, impeccable service, a the chance to make memories of a lifetime. Tell them what you want, and they will make it happen. Change your mind, and they will do their best to make them happen. My guide, Abdallah was incredible - knowledgable, pleasant, informative, and just a great guy. His suggestions and choices were always right on target. He made sure that everything was perfect. Jolie in the office was a pleasure to work with... even when I wasn't such a pleasure to deal with. The lodges were all well chosen, the food delicious, and the people friendly and welcoming. The landscapes were beautiful, the activities varied in nature and demand. The gorilla experiences were so great I ended up doing three. The interactions with these incredible creatures were beyond expectations. The adventures continued with chimps, golden monkeys, and other primates, with elephants galore and hippos gracing the river shores. I was King for a day in Rwanda, complete with my own servants and warriors. The trip exceeded my expectations in every way thanks to the well thought out planning of Explore Rwanda Tours. Its obvious this company is well connected to the local pulse of the community as well as the out of the way spots that many will miss. Its a trip of a lifetime, and they made it possible for an incredible price and limited effort on my part. I highly recommend them without hesitation.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Cansu Cengiz
It was an amazing experience to be in Masai Mara and to see the big fives! The animals walk around the vehicles and you are very close to them.
First we thought that the park should be a dry land, which is totaly not. The park has a beautiful green color with amazing views.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Cansu Cengiz
First we thought that we could see only the birds, hippos and rhinos-if we are enough lucky!-. but we saw male lions and a leopard, hippos and a couple of rhino families!
We loved Lake Nakuru National Park!

Splendid Adventure
Visiting Tanzania has been on my bucket list since I was young. I'm not sure which I liked more the animals or the people. This is truly an amazing country.

If you can manage it, this should be on your "list" of experiences to have in a lifetime!
The wildlife part of the trip was incredible; can't say enough superlatives to describe it. The extra day to Lake Nakuru was a lot of extra driving, but worth it for the rhinoceros. (A 300mm lens on the camera was nice, but the wildlife is so close that you don't always need it!)
This was a budget trip; just to be clear what you would get for your money if you booked something more expensive, it has no impact on your wildlife experience; our guide was incredible; it just means that the accommodation and food are budget, and the vehicle is maybe less comfortable and has more people (and wasn't 4WD, though that didn't impact our experience, even in the rainy season).
My one complaint was that the balance was due in USD on arrival, and they insisted I pay more than the balance because I'd brought the money in 20-dollar bills. I ultimately paid an extra $10 because I didn't feel like arguing; originally they'd wanted $30 more until I suggested I'd go online and wire them the balance, and then they promptly decided that $10 more would be enough. I'd give them 4 stars for that, but the guide was worth 6 stars, so that averages out to 5...
