An unforgettable day in Mikumi – simply amazing!
Our one-day private safari in Mikumi National Park was an absolutely unforgettable experience and definitely the highlights of our holiday on Zanzibar!
We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, impalas, hippos, crocodiles and many more animals – some of them incredibly close. Seeing these beautiful animals in the wild was simply breathtaking. The attached pictures of the safari speak for themselves.
A huge thank you to our fantastic guide Jonathan! He is an excellent driver, knows Mikumi extremely well and always seemed to know where to find the animals. On top of that, he shared so much interesting information about the wildlife with us. We couldn’t have wished for a better guide!
The whole organisation by Telly African Safaris was excellent too. From the booking process to the information before our trip and the support throughout, everything was professional and perfectly organised. Special thanks to Catherine Mchau for taking such good care of us.
5 stars for the safari, 5 stars for the organisation and a very clear recommendation from us!
Thank you Jonathan and Catherine for this wonderful experience. We will remember this day for a very long time!

Amazing
Our experience with Wild Uganda was absolutely incredible! The wildlife sightings were simply out of this world. We saw so many amazing animals in the wild and had experiences that we will never forget.
A huge part of what made the trip so special was Andrew, our guide. He was honestly the best guide I have ever had! His knowledge, experience, and incredible ability to spot animals made every game drive an unforgettable experience. On top of that, he was extremely friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what he does.
If you want to experience Uganda at its best, I can highly recommend Wild Uganda. And if you’re lucky enough to have Andrew as your guide, you’re in for something truly special. I would absolutely travel with them again! 🦍

Professional cost effective well planned operator
Hi had a wonderful experience with Africa Tours adventures.
They offer a brilliant price point and great itinerary.
I felt very safe as a solo female driver, and enjoyed the company of my wonderful guide Levan. I visited both Uganda and Rwanda, and the hotels selected for the mid range option was fantastic! As a vegan Levan always made sure I had something to eat.
The mode of transport is a Land Cruiser, so perfect to get around across the many nationals parks and with great views.
African adventure tours were even flexible enough to amend my itinerary mid journey, to align to my preferences.
I highly recommend this company. Great value and service!!

The Best Safari
Although we chose Rwanda for the gorilla trek, our visit to Akagera turned out to a highlight of our visit. We had previously visited Kruger National Park in S. Africa but our guide Isaac gave us an experience we will never forget. We saw wart hogs up close (I never knew they knelt on their front legs to graze), an elephant at 5m, and even awakened some rhinos sleeping on the road at 6:00 AM. Isaac spotted a lioness early one morning at a great distance and our patience was rewarded as she led a group of 3 more lionesses and 3 lions right by our vehicle. Magnificent animals. All in all a fantastic experience and I can’t recommend Isaac at Wild Sage as a guide- informative personable and a good sense of humour. Great accommodations also.
5 stars!

Phenomonal Safari Experience with an amazingly knowledgeable and personable driver
We had an amazing experience, we were most carefully looked after by Tembo lodge who accomodated our every need and our vegetarian meals. Our Safari experience was handled safely, professionally and with such incredible knowledge by Muzi our experienced driver guide who demonstrated just how much he loves his job.

Fantastically run tour. Anthony was a great guide and driver. He was very informative and helpful. Also he knew all of the best photo spots and was kind to children on the road, often giving them food. Overall a good person and great guide. I would highly recommend him to anyone booking a safari tour.

tick off our Kilimanjaro, safari, and river-crossing bucket-list
This was our first time visiting East Africa, and we chose Patriot Tours & Safaris Ltd. for our Kilimanjaro trek and river-crossing safari.
From the very beginning, we were warmly welcomed by the team with a wonderful singing performance before starting our Kilimanjaro trek — something we absolutely loved and will always remember. We successfully reached the summit and were fortunate enough to witness a spectacular sunrise at Uhuru Peak. 🌅🏔️
What made the experience truly special was the incredible support from the entire team. The trek often felt like going from “mission impossible to possible,” and we genuinely could not have achieved it without their encouragement, care, and teamwork. Throughout the trek, the guides and crew made us feel like part of a family, and their dedication was one of the highlights of the journey.
It would have been great if we were given a little more time at the summit for photos and selfies, as it is such a once-in-a-lifetime moment and we would have loved a few extra minutes to take it all in.
We started our safari immediately after completing the Kilimanjaro trek, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara National Parks. We absolutely loved the game drives and were incredibly fortunate to witness the river crossings and see the Big Five during our trip. 🦁🐘🦏🐆🐃
We were also very happy with the accommodations arranged by Patriot. Our safari guide was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to identify and explain the different animals we encountered throughout the trip, including many different bird species. His knowledge really added to the overall safari experience.
One area that could be improved during the safari is the vehicle preparation. On a few occasions, we had to wait for the vehicle to be prepared before heading out. Having the vehicle prepared in advance, either at the end of the previous day or before the start of the next activity, would help make the schedule more seamless.
Overall, this was an unforgettable adventure, and we are incredibly grateful to the entire Patriot Tours & Safaris team for helping us reach Uhuru Peak, tick off our Kilimanjaro, safari, and river-crossing bucket-list experiences, and make our first trip to East Africa so memorable.
Thank you to the entire team for taking such good care of us throughout the journey. We will definitely remember this trip for many years to come! ❤️🌍
