The best 2 day safari from zanzibar including domestic flights
We did a two day safari starting from Zanzibar covering Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangeri
National park. We had two lovely days spotting a lot of animals including the big five in a very short period of time. We will recommend the safari with Zamunda tours to oir friends. Our guide, Willy, was very professional and we would recommend him to our friends and family.

Flexible, Photographer-Friendly, and Well-Guided: My Experience of 8-Day Uganda Photo Safari
I’m a wildlife photographer, and in May 2025, I went on an 8-day private photo safari organized by Brian, the owner of GoExplore Safari. The goal was to photograph Uganda’s wildlife highlights: gorillas in Bwindi, big cats in Queen Elizabeth, chimpanzees in Kibale, and the rare Shoebill Stork in Mabamba Swamp. The itinerary was well thought out, and everything ran smoothly.
I flew into Kigali, Rwanda, which I highly recommend if you're heading to the Rushaga sector of Bwindi — much closer and more convenient than Entebbe. If photography is your priority, I also suggest booking two gorilla treks or considering Mgahinga. I only did one, and while it was incredible to see them, capturing strong images was difficult. The rainforest is thick, lighting tricky, and your movement limited — just something to keep in mind.
Mozes, my guide, was outstanding. He’s punctual, safe, knowledgeable, and has a clear love for wildlife. He studied tourism, understands photography, and even shared stories from past conservation work, like relocating giraffes from Murchison Falls to Kidepo. He always positioned the car for the best angles and made the drives smooth and productive.
Our first stop was Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge, just five minutes from Rushaga Gate. The lodge was cozy, well-designed, and mosquito-free, with great coffee and local food — an ideal base for gorilla trekking.
In Queen Elizabeth, we had four full days of game drives. I like to go hard on photography, so we were out from sunrise to sunset. One major perk with GoExplore is you can plan your own drive schedule within park hours (6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.). On our first day, we stayed until closing — the only car left in Kasenyi Plains. That kind of flexibility made a huge difference.
I also recommend the optional lion and leopard tracking. You’re still in your private vehicle, but a tracker joins you and leads off-road directly to the cats. We spent nearly four hours with a leopard and her cubs in a cactus tree — truly a dream scenario for any photographer.
Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale was another highlight. The chimps came down from the trees and moved through the forest, and we followed them. The one-hour viewing stretched to 2.5 hours. For photography, it’s better to wait until they’re on the ground — the real action happens there.
On the final day, we went to Mabamba Swamp to see the Shoebill. From a photography standpoint, it’s the best place in Africa to photograph this rare bird. The canoe brings you to water level, with clean backgrounds and soft light — a perfect setup.
Uganda in late May was lush, green, and surprisingly dry — just one short rainstorm. The scenery, wildlife, and people made it a beautiful place to explore.
If you’re considering Uganda, book with GoExplore — and if you can, request Mozes. His experience and attention to detail made the entire trip not just productive, but truly enjoyable. Huge thanks to Brian and Mozes for making it all happen!

My First Time in Kenya!
This was my first time visiting Kenya, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction than through Leopard Orchids. From the beginning, the communication was clear and timely, and every question I had was answered with patience and care.
When we arrived, the Leopard Orchids team was there to welcome us—a gesture that felt sincere and set the tone for the rest of the journey. It wasn’t just about logistics, it was about people, and that stayed consistent throughout.
Lawrence, our guide, was exceptional. He was reliable, well-informed, and always made sure we were comfortable. He carried the group with quiet confidence—never overwhelming, but always present when it mattered. The tour itself was thoughtfully paced, giving us time to take in every place without ever feeling rushed.
What stood out most was the genuine kindness—not just from Lawrence, but from everyone we met through Leopard Orchids. It felt less like being “handled” by a tour company and more like being welcomed by people who truly cared about our experience.
If you're looking to travel with a team that’s grounded, sincere, and deeply connected to the land they’re sharing with you, I’d wholeheartedly recommend Leopard Orchids.

Reliable safari tour operator for the best adventures
We highly recommend the Anthony safaris. This was our first time on safari and we chose the most popular parks: Amboseli, Naivasha and Masai Mara. The accommodation was excellent, and the game drives were comfortable. Our guide Anthony listened to our wishes, for example, we were interested in birds and he helped us find and determine them. Communication with Anthony and the whole team was pleasant and useful. We've learned a lot about Kenya, and we didn't see such a variety of wild animals and birds anywhere before.

More than 5 stars...
We travelled with Jangwa Tours and Safaris for an unforgettable self drive tour in Nambia.
David was very careful with us to choose the best solution with a mix of camping and lodges.
During the our 12 days tour we had a phone number for any necessity, David gave us suggestions and assistance.
We had a problem with one luggage that arrived on the next day, he sent us a driver to Sesriem from Windhoek to deliver our luggage at the Camping, incredible service! 🙏
The camping and lodges were amazing, the 4WD car with rooftop tent was very good and perfectly equipped.
We had a lot of wonderful experiences through the Namib desert to Swakopmund and Walvis Bay with an incredible day at Sandwich Harbour, the Damaraland area, Etosha NP and the Onguma reserve where we had one of the best experience of my life like the bush dinner...
I strongly suggest David and his Company to our friends and family and to everyone love adventure and nature, they have a 5 stars service! I will travel for sure with them for other destinations.
Thanks for all!

A wonderfully memorable experience!
I just completed an 11 day safari with three friends led by Samuel Mopalo, owner of Early Kingfisher Safaris. We were in the Chobi River area, and the Okavango Delta, and stayed in three different camps. The large tents with bush bathrooms attached were roomy, and the beds comfortable. They even have electric lighting. Leave your dirty clothes, and they come back laundered and folded every day.
The number and variety of animals was unbelievable. Sam is a first class tracker, always finding the animals, and positioning us in the best spot for photo shots. Sam has incredible knowledge of all the animals, birds, and flora of the area. One day he noticed some tracks and said the elephants are headed to the watering hole. We raced there just in time for rush hour, with over 100 elephants coming to the hole! We saw 53 hippos one day, 17 giraffes together, a group of 18 wildebeests, so many beautiful lions, leopards, and on and on. People who have been on several safaris said they never saw what we saw. We saw at least 50 elephants, giraffes, and zebras every day.
Sam has a great crew. PK the chef cooks gourmet meals over an open fire in cast iron pots, with freshly baked bread 3 times a day. Khomo was always there to help, as well as Lesh and Khem. They catered to our every need. BZ greeted us with warm water and wash cloths twice a day after the game runs, attended to us at meals, and had our favorite cocktail ready around the campfire before dinner.
It is hard to explain how wonderful this safari was. You have to experience it to understand, and I encourage you to do so. It changed my life.
