Magareth is great.
I didn't go this year yet but am planning on getting out there in the near future. This review is for Magareth specifically as she helped me through the planning process so thoroughly.
She was a tremendous help and I look forward fo my future Safari.

Excellent
Amazing 8-day private safari with Goldfinch Adventures, with excelent guide, Swahibu Othoman, who showed us so many animals and special sightings. Accommodation were fantastic, so were all arrangements done by Brenda. Tanzania stole our hearts - will definately return.

A reliable and caring company that genuinely wants you to have an amazing trip!
I had an amazing experience working with Benald, who went above and beyond in helping me plan my Uganda trip. From the very beginning, he was incredibly patient and informative, answering all my questions, helping me understand my options, and guiding me through the planning process even as I kept changing my mind about the details.
What really stood out to me was that even after I decided not to book the full tour with Nextgen, Benald continued to help me. He went out of his way to make sure I got my gorilla trekking permit, handling everything with care and professionalism. That kind of generosity and dedication is rare, and it meant a lot.
Even though I didn’t end up doing the full tour with them, I would absolutely recommend Nextgen Safaris to anyone visiting Uganda. They truly care about their clients and go the extra mile to make sure you’re taken care of!

The kindest guide in Uganda
I had an amazing experience with Exclusive Gorilla Vacations! From the very first message, the communication was clear, friendly, and professional. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pickup to the gorilla trekking experience itself. My guide was not only knowledgeable and reliable but also incredibly kind and patient, making the whole trip unforgettable. The service felt very personal, and I truly felt taken care of every step of the way. Excellent value for money — I would highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Uganda!

Amazing
Msangai Safari was the best experience ever. All 7 of us (friends in mid-20s) had such a fun and enjoyable experience. It was very good value for money. It would not have been possible without the expert guidance and wisdom of Emanuel who was absolutely fantastic in making our Safari such a memorable experience. He is so knowledgeable, accomodating and fun to have on Safari. The accomodation was great, everyone was very comfortable and grateful for to be able to stay in such beautiful and unique places. The food was also good. We loved each of the different Safari parks, particularly the Serengeti where Emanuel was able to find all of the big 5! We also thoroughly enjoyed the cultural experience day
Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience!

Amazing
I visited Kenya on a family trip (20+ people) and I must say it was one of the best trips I’ve been on. The organisation was seamless, our itinerary was booked and busy, tailored specifically to what we wanted to do. We all had an amazing time, the people were welcoming, the country is beautiful and getting to experience the safari tour was out of this world. Would definitely recommend. 10/10, one for your bucket list!

Unforgettable 5-Day Safari
We went on a 5-day safari with Julius Safari to Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara, and it was an amazing experience! Our driver picked us up directly from the hotel and took us in a large safari jeep – perfect for this kind of trip. The accommodations were excellent, and everything was perfectly organized. Julius even provided a child seat, as we were traveling with two young children (2 and 4 years old). Our driver Joseph was incredibly kind and always adjusted the drive and stops to the kids’ needs. We saw many animals, including a cheetah and a leopard. We highly recommend Julius Safari to anyone looking for a reliable, family-friendly, and well-organized safari experience in Kenya!

Unforgettable and Knowledgeable
Our safari in Africa was truly the trip of a lifetime! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organized — friendly guides, breathtaking landscapes, and incredible wildlife sightings every single day. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, and even a leopard up close! The accommodations were comfortable, and always had good communication with our safari group through Inspired Feet Safaris.
What really made it special was the people — our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate, teaching us so much about the animals and local culture. Every sunrise and sunset felt magical. It’s an experience I’ll never forget, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for an authentic, awe-inspiring adventure in Africa!

absolutely the best, our guide Eli is the best of the best
After coming back from the safari for a month, my heart still stays in Serengeti. The best part of the trip was (of course) the animals, but what made all the incredible sightings possible, was our wonderful wonderful guide Eli. I can't say enough good words about Eli, he is knowledgeable, he is dedicated, he is hardworking, he is all the good words you might find describing other wonderful guides as well, but he is more, and better. He found the perfect spots (and timing) to see the crossing (yes, we were able to saw it multiple times, and all at the most ideal locations, from different angels each time), he found us the communal den of spotted hyena, the sleeping lion cubs, the predating cheetah, the leopard mother and cub at eating scene, the whole lion pride, and so much more. Words just fall short. I will attach some photos after I submit the review (I'm still in the photo editing process, so this is definitely not all). I'm already planning to come back during the wet season again for the cubs and a greener background.
The receptionist Mary is also great, she was the one that responded to my initial email with such enthusiasm and careful plannings with all of my requests in mind (not just some template used over and over again), and I am so happy with the itinerary that she helped me putting together. Mary made my initial booking process pleasant and smooth, while Eli wonderfully delivered all the plans and expectations ( and exceed the expectation much much more).
I would def recommend this tour operator and our guide Eli to any close friends, or anyone who is into wildlife viewing and photography.

Ken was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
From start to finish, our safari experience was absolutely outstanding. Communication with the team was smooth and responsive, and every detail was handled professionally. The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, and not just from a distance. Thankful to Ken's, our guide, deep knowledge and experience, we were able to get up close and personal with the animals in a way that felt safe, respectful, and unforgettable. Their insight into the wildlife and environment made the whole experience even more enriching.
The tour itself exceeded our expectations in every way. The itinerary was well-planned, the vehicles were comfortable and reliable, and we felt well taken care of throughout. For the quality of the experience, the value for money was exceptional.
This truly was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone planning a safari. You won't be disappointed!
