Amazing 8-Day Rwanda Uganda All Apes and Wildlife Safari
This is the most comprehensive itinerary for Rwanda and Uganda if you are looking for wildlife and safari. It covered all apes and a lot of big five.
I found Elvis from Lulu Safaris very helpful, prompt and clear in curating this itinerary and answering all my questions. It was a last minute decision to go on this tour and Elvis practically sorted everything out in just a couple of days!
Every detail was taken care of - starting from visa, pick up from airport, accommodation, food, water, viewing apes and wildlife I was hoping to see, and drop off to the airport. The accommodations were luxurious and in a picturesque and serene environment. The food was abundant, fresh and catered for my dietary requirements.
Smith was my tour guide, and it was great to have the same person throughout my itinerary. He is very chatty and friendly - not just a guide but more of an enthusiastic adventurer, making extra effort to ensure we saw all the wildlife, and took good pictures.
I am a solo female traveller and felt totally safe and comfortable on this trip. I couldn’t recommend this enough!

Lillian made our Safari and extraordinary event!
Lillian was amazing! From our guides, the food, the accommodations, and all the animals we saw it was just outstanding. I highly recommend her company, she has such an insight with all the local people. It really makes a difference. It is also nice that it is truly a personalized experience, she took very seriously all our needs and requests. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Unforgettable Safari Experience – A Perfect Start to Our Honeymoon!
We spent 3 nights and 4 days at Sekekama Tented Camp and it was absolutely incredible. The tents were spacious, cosy, and comfortable, with hot showers and a bonfire each night where guests could relax and mingle under the stars. Dinner each evening was delicious – the barbecue was our favourite!
A huge thanks to our wonderful host Ian, who was friendly, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable. Our 2 days in Kruger were unforgettable — we saw the Big 5 and so much more! Our driver Eddie, the ‘happy chappy’, brought so much fun and energy to the experience — he was informative and made every moment memorable.
The game drives in Blue Canyon were another highlight. With Albert tracking and Goodman driving, we were lucky enough to spot the infamous rhino.
Thank you for an amazing start to our South African honeymoon – we’ll treasure these memories forever!

Trustworthy enthusiastic operator
We’ve had a superb 3-day 2-night Gorilla tracking experience starting from Kigali with Hooves of Africa. Prior to our trip the owner Dickson was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Our guide Elton was funny and friendly, and very well-informed - answering our numerous questions about everything from nature to politics to football! Our Landcruiser was new and clean, and the accommodation Dickson organised in Bwindi and Lake Bunonyi was clean, comfortable and beautifully situated. Our gorilla encounter was a once in a lifetime experience! If you are reading this and wondering who to trust with your holiday - my family can heartily recommend this firm.

Amazing! Everything was organised well and we were looked after throughout the trip
Ozon Light and our guide Godwin were great in every way. From organising booking before flying to Tanzania and answering any questions, to sorting out taxis and hotels when we had arrived everything was perfect.
The guide was extremely knowledgeable and answered all questions alongside with working through any requests we had for stops etc and was a very good photographer for us as well!
All in all I thought Ozon Lights and our guide Godwin were amazing and I'd definitely recommend to all and would be more than happy to book again!

An exceptional travel experience with Compass Odyssey
From the time we received a reply to our initial enquiry about a safari in Africa, we knew we were in the best possible hands with Compass Odyssey. The itinerary they put together was incredibly close to what we had only dreamed of, and required hardly any changes — a testament to their deep understanding of the region and their clients' needs.
Having worked in and around the tourism industry for many years, I usually prefer to plan trips myself and wouldn’t typically use a travel company. However, Darren gave me complete confidence that I had made the right decision. His professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care stood out from the very beginning.
The level of service we received throughout the entire process — from planning to travel to post-trip follow-up — was outstanding. The attention to detail and the wealth of information provided reflected not only Darren's expertise but also the values of this passionate family-run business.
Thanks to Compass Odyssey, this trip of a lifetime exceeded expectations (mostly :), one glitch in there that came as a surprise but was worked through with the service we had come to expect from Compass Odyssey and I'm sure will be a funny dinner party story for years to come) We absolutely loved it and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a truly memorable and stress-free travel experience.

Unforgettable Experience with Bushman Safaris
We had a fantastic experience with Bushman Safaris. Kate was instrumental in organizing our trip across Uganda and Tanzania, and everything as extremely well coordinated. A highlight of our journey was the incredible gorilla trekking at Mgahinga National Park — truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Throughout the trip, we felt very well looked after. Even when we encountered delays and cancelled flights, Kate stepped in immediately and went above and beyond to support us. Her dedication and professionalism made a real difference, and we’re very grateful for all her help. Highly recommended!
