Well planned-great experience - perfect choice and match
The perfect match for our 15 days in Uganda, focused on birds and wildlife.Well organized, great accommodations, the nicest team to spend time with. All well planned, safe and backed up. Even with a lot of moving around and various local tours and treks,everything was perfectly executed. Great destinations and wildlife experiences.

Local Business providing 5* Luxury
I was initially nervous about traveling solo as a woman, but Arcadia Safaris made everything seamless. My guides, Brian and Stanley, were incredible — I never once felt alone. They catered to my every need and treated me like royalty while remaining professional, warm, and attentive.
I saw all of the Big Five and had experiences I’ll never forget. The accommodations were excellent — I chose mid-range, and it was the perfect balance of comfort and authenticity.
What stood out most to me was choosing a truly local company. It gave me peace of mind knowing my money was supporting local businesses, and although I was hesitant about international transfers at first, Arcadia Safaris proved to be completely trustworthy and excellent value for money.
Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or as a family, I have no doubt you’ll receive the same outstanding hospitality and professionalism. This trip exceeded every expectation, and I can’t recommend Arcadia Safaris highly enough.

We had an amazing three-day safari with John Faru as our guide. From the moment we met him, John was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and landscapes. He always knew the best spots to find animals, and thanks to him we were able to see the Big Five and so much more.
John was also very patient and attentive, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. His explanations about animal behavior and the local environment made the trip not just exciting but also educational.
We felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. If you are planning a safari in Kenya, I cannot recommend John highly enough. He made our trip truly unforgettable.

More than a safari guide
We had the luck to share days with George in Nakaru and Masai Mara. He shows great pride in he’s work and is always on alert looking for how to make the experience as good as possible. Except being excellent in finding animals (the big five, cheetahs etc) he has great knowledge about the animals itself, explaining the circle of life on the savannah adding extra flavours to the tour/experience. To this he is also a really funny guy with a great sense of humour making the trip enjoyable in a relaxed way. We had some crazy adventures in Masai Mara driving around 450km during one day, and even though you can never give guarantees in the wild life I think George with he’s 21 years of experience is one of the best there is to find the big five + cheetahs, with a great network of friends in the savannah sharing information of whereabouts with him. I also want to add that we never felt unsafe riding with George even tho we had some adrenaline-raising chasing of animals.
So, to summarise! George added a great, almost invaluable, experience to our trip with he’s great personality, friendly but yet very professional setting and a great sense of humour. We saw a lot, we got taught a lot, we laughed a lot and we shared some great memories together. And it’s as beautiful as it can get when you still feel that pure love and pride over what you do even after 21 years.
As you already figured out, I can’t give a better recommendation even if I try than this. 10/10 communication, 10/10 value for money, 10/10 reliability and 100/10 the tour itself.
