Excellent communication and great drivers
Steve Muinde and his staff do an excellent job of responding to requests immediately and thoroughly. He was able to tailor our safari consisting of three family units and seven people to fit our budget and provide us with two drivers. This gave us great flexibility. Both drivers were very knowledgeable about the animals we were seeing and went out of their way to find animals the group was interested in viewing. Steve also set us up with a van driver for a day in Nairobi before the safari began.

Uganda is heaven on Earth ~
The nature of Uganda is beautiful. The animals, mountains, rain forests, rivers, lakes, savannas, and BIRDS! I was not a big birder before, but the sheer cariety and abundance of bids is spectacular *download the free App: Merlin Bird id
I booked with African Adventure Travellers and worked with Brenda to set a preliminary itinerary. Then my guide & driver, Huzaima, refined it and made my safari something special. It really was like going on a 15-day road trip with a friend. He knew what I wanted to see and do and made every effort to make it happen.
Uganda is also a special place for its people. Everyone, everywhere I went from the national parks to local markets were exceedingly open, warm, welcoming, and friendly. Everybody is so quick to smile and wave, say hello and strike up a conversation. Uganda is a magical place in my heart and I cannot wait to return!!!

Tanzania - Awesome and Beautiful
My wife and I did extensive research on which country to visit to go on an African Safari and we chose Tanzania. The country abounds in wildlife. We saw the Big 5 along with several other African wildlife.
Why we chose Tanzania is because the game drives were during the day. We would leave in the morning and return at dinner time. Whereas, other countries have their game drives split up in the early morning and again after dinner in the evening. Plus the range of environments from the savannah to the rain forest, there is such a variety.
Tanzania is near the equator and it's days are almost exactly 12 hours with sunrise at 6:30am and sunset at 6:30pm each day. Plus, the average temperatures are very comfortable, spanning from highs in the low 70s to lows in the mid 50s. We chose to go after the rainy season. June was a good month. It only rained a few times and even then it was an isolated shower for a very short amount of time.
Coming from the USA we were not required to get any shots. We did take the anti malaria pills.
The food was wonderful. Just don't drink the local water. We drank bottled water.
The people are amazing. So kind and polite. I learned Tanzania is like the neutral country in Africa. They don't have internal conflicts like other countries in Africa. We felt very safe at all times.
We were in the north part of the country and didn't get to see the southern part, like Dar Es Salaam and the cost, which is stunning.
I could certain go on about how amazing Tanzania was. We're looking forward to returning again someday.

Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Douglas M. Holden
Incredible gorilla experience - very expensive, but not a lot of introduction or information. *Ride 4 a Woman is an incredible, active community that supports local women in many ways - truly wonderful.
