Couldn’t be happier!
Uganda - amazing 9 days seeing so many different parts of the country.
Whilst the highlights were so obviously the chimps and gorillas, we loved all the wildlife, villages, children and all the lodges.
Favourite had to be Aadvark Lodge in Queen Elizabeth NP.
We spent 9 days with Baker who enthralled us with his bird knowledge, we had many a lively chat about the differences between the UK and Uganda and have some thoughts to bring home!!
We both totally fell in love with the country.
Rwanda - we were surprised how different the two countries were and so we were able to enjoy the landscape, villages and people, plus of course the wildlife.
We were with James for 3 days who was wonderful and explaining the countries history with such pride and dignity!
We stayed at Akergara Rhino lodge for 2 nights - absolutely wonderful lodge and couldn’t recommend enough.
The genocide memorial museum was tough, but so it should be and felt humbled to hear their stories.
Guides - Both Baker and James were brilliant and made so much effort to ensure we saw as much as we could, thank you both.
Company - we have dealt predominantly with Anne, who answered all our emails super quick & effectively from the very start of our enquiry about the safari itself.
Thank you for everything.
We have returned feeling very privileged to have seen everything we have seen.

For An African Safari you Must Use Lion King!
We just completed a trip of a lifetime: 10 days in Tanzania and Zanzibar; all put together by Lion King. Our guide Shedrack, was extremely professional properly dressed, polite, always had a smile and helped with our luggage. PLUS, he was an excellent guide telling us about our daily excursions as well as about the people and history of Tanzania. And, most importantly we saw every African animal we dreamed of and then some. Shedrack knew how to scout out the most elusive animals.Everything we would expect from a 1st class guide and company.

Unforgettable Experience with Spirit of Kenya
We've just returned from our honeymoon safari with Spirit of Kenya and can genuinely say it was an absolutely exceptional experience. From the very first moment, the team provided incredible support that made all the difference.
A special thank you to Victor, whose professionalism and assistance throughout the planning phase were outstanding. His emails were consistently clear, timely, and incredibly precise, which made us feel completely confident and well-prepared from the very beginning.
Once we were there, every single day surpassed our expectations. The organization was flawless, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. A huge special thanks to our on-ground team, Cyrus and Raphael. They were simply fantastic: always punctual, professional, and incredibly attentive to every detail. They ensured everything ran smoothly and were wonderful company throughout the journey.
Thanks to them, we saw truly amazing animals and landscapes, and had an unforgettable adventure.
We wholeheartedly recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone considering visiting this wonderful country.
Thank you again for everything! ASANTE SANA from Spain :)

An unforgettable, seamless safari experience through Botswana’s incredible landscapes.
Africa Uncovered Safaris — Botswana Magic (July 2025)
I recently completed the 7-day Botswana Magic tour with Africa Uncovered Safaris and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, Archie was incredibly prompt and helpful in responding to my inquiry, which was especially appreciated as I was comparing nearly ten different tour operators. He quickly understood my preferences and helped me choose between two itineraries, with clear and timely communication throughout the booking process.
The itinerary itself was very well thought out and smoothly executed, offering a fantastic overview of Botswana’s natural highlights. The absolute highlight for me was the time spent in and around Chobe National Park — the evening river cruise was breathtaking and the game drives provided stunning photo opportunities thanks to the beautiful scenery and lighting. The guides from the various lodges were all excellent: knowledgeable, professional, and passionate.
On the ground, Muza led the trip and did a brilliant job handling logistics and driving. I felt safe and well cared for throughout. I was also accompanied by Nabi, a new member of the Africa Uncovered team on his familiarization trip, who was a wonderful companion on the game drives and bush walks, with a sharp eye for spotting wildlife. I wish him all the best in his new role.
Logistics were flawless: all transfers and accommodation check-ins were handled seamlessly and I barely had to think about a thing. The lodges were all clean and comfortable, with hot showers, good food (especially at Nata Lodge), and excellent bird-watching even on the lodge grounds. Importantly, although I was the only traveler on these dates — and the tour might not normally run with such low numbers — Archie and the team honored my booking without ever suggesting a cancellation or change, and I’m forever grateful for this. In the end, I enjoyed what was essentially a private tour, making the experience even more special.
What stood out most to me was the joy of seeing wildlife up close and learning about birds and nature from Muza, who shared stories and insights about local culture, wildlife, and history.
I really appreciated seeing such a variety of areas in Botswana — from the Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park to the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans — and now I know that on my next visit, I’ll likely focus on one or two parks and spend even more time on game drives, which I especially enjoyed. Also, traveling in July is fantastic — cool, dry weather and few mosquitoes!
In short: I wish I could have stayed longer.
I would absolutely recommend Africa Uncovered Safaris to anyone considering a trip to Botswana and look forward to planning another safari adventure with them.

Amazing safari experiences in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara!
We had a 3-day safari trip with African Masterclass Tours and Safari Limited, and it was truly an amazing experience. On the first day, I went to Tarangire National Park and saw many elephants, giraffes, and different types of deer. Our guide was very knowledgeable and always took us to a good animal viewing spot. Ngorongoro Crater was the most memorable - we were very excited to see the endangered black rhino. On the last day at Lake Manyara National Park, I saw tree climbing lions and a lot of colorful birds. The stay at Marrera Valley Lodge was very comfortable, and the food was also excellent. Their service is really commendable, very nicely done airport pickup and drop off. I had a great time throughout the trip with no problems.

Very responsive
I recently returned from an 8-day safari tour in Kenya, and it was truly one of the best experiences of my life. The tour was incredibly well-organized, and everything that was promised was delivered exactly as described. Any minor issues that arose were handled promptly and professionally, which made the journey smooth and stress-free.
A major highlight was getting to see all of the Big Five—plus numerous big cats and an amazing variety of birds. Every game drive brought something new and thrilling. Nature at its best!
Special thanks to Bryan, our tour guide, who was always punctual and helpful throughout the trip. He ensured we were well taken care of and made sure we didn’t miss any wildlife sightings.
A few points for improvement:
• The guide could be a bit more interactive and share interesting facts or stories without needing to be asked.
• The food could have been more varied, as we ended up having similar meals most days.
That said, the overall experience far exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend this safari to anyone looking for a memorable adventure in Kenya!

A perfect guide for a wonderful experience in the Tanzanian nature !
Communication and paying the company went well. The guide was speaking french and was really educational and instructive on animals and the nature we saw. He has great eyes to spot animals ! He listened to us well every time we wanted to stop or had questions. The coordination with lunch and night at the camp was perfect and smooth. We had such a great experience here in Tanzania ! Great memories, thanks to Ubuntu Safaris.

Shenga Tours are reliable, dedicated to excellent service, goes above and beyond for their clients
I have enquired about a joining camping safari a few weeks before the trip. Kelvin replied immediately with all the necessary information and quotations. I could not make up my mind. Kelvin kept in touch asking if he could be of any further assistance.
The morning before the trip @ 4am I decided to go ahead with the booking. To my surprise Kelvin responded immediately. He assisted with accommodation referrals as well as last minute questions.
When I arrived to Arusha later that afternoon, there was transport waiting at the airport. Kelvin also took me shopping for a backpack and took me to rent binoculars.
Throughout the safari he checked in to find out if I was doing ok. I was a sole female traveller and always felt safe.
The safari itself was an unforgettable expierence. We saw all of the big 5 multiple times except for the rhino. The food was deliciously home cooked and I had the best soups I've ever tasted.
Kelvin as well as the service providers he make use of and hotel he referred, made my stay and expierence amazing and smooth sailing.
Thank you Kelvin. I appreciate your dedication to making sure you cater to all your clients needs.

Axis helped me choose my safari from the very beginning and responded quickly to my questions.
The safari was a great success. And thanks to my driver, Ken, I saw all the major animal species living there.
