Easy to work with, responsive, and flexible. A great experience.
We experienced the 7-day tour of Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha and the experience was nothing short of exceptional! The trip was organized on short notice and Awuor was responsive and flexible as we worked through changing accommodation availabilities, finalized flight plans, and tour itinerary changes. Before and during the trip, the communication was great at all hours of the day, and it gave me comfort in choosing Awuor as our tour provider. Our tour guide (Robert) was a pleasure and focused on ensuring we had the best experience possible and that we saw all of the action during the game drives. He went out of his way to go out early or stay out late to enjoy the wildlife and that all of the daily details (food, water, check-ins, etc.) were taken care of so we could relax. I thoroughly recommend booking a safari with Awuor Escapades!

Excellent organization, very efficient communication and support. Great 17 days trip experience!
Edison from Bamboo Ecotours was really a great person to deal with during our trip plan. Since the beginning he has been really helpful, clear, well organized and detailed in the information provided.
He was very quick to respond since the beginning with superlative attention in organizing all the details and drawing down the trip schedule.
We arranged together with him some modifications to the original plan, adding some days: everything has been managed wonderfully.
Bamboo Ecotours dealed with all the nexessary bookings and formalities for all the trip.
The trip itself has been a great experience, with a perfect 4x4 car and Fred was a great and experienced guide and driver. He well managed all the trip, providing with information, explanations and support.
We opted for budget accomodations, and every accomodation provided by Bamboon Ecotours was really good without any issue.
Planning with Bamboo Ecotours was easy and quick. If we ever plan another trip in Uganda or Rwand, we will definitely book again with Bamboo. Highly reccomended company!

A reliable, well-organized, and genuinely caring.
I can’t recommend this safari agency enough, everything was well-organized and handled with care. The safari trip itself was an unforgettable experience! Our driver was excellent, very knowledgeable, kind, and made the whole journey feel safe and exciting. I was also lucky with the group in the car, such great energy and good vibes all around. I truly recommend it! ♥️

Good overall, small hiccups with organisation and miscommunication
Very good communication from beginning of booking process until the end of the trip and responsive during the trip. Put us in contact with good drivers and companies for the various activities we undertook (Mt Kilimanjaro, Amboseli safari, markets, etc). There were a couple events of miscommunication between eta and other companies which led to us having to mediate between them to resolve issues.
Was not enough to dampen overall experience but could have done without the unnecessary stress from these incidents.

If You’re Planning a Safari, Stay at Kapama
We booked our safari through MoAfrika Tours because it looked reliable. It arranged both our stay at Kapama River Lodge and the round-trip van transportation from Johannesburg. The person who assisted us was very communicative, trustworthy, and helped us choose the trip we wanted within our budget.
That said, the transportation to and from Kapama was crowded and a bit uncomfortable. It definitely didn’t compare to the incredible experience we had once we arrived.
Kapama River Lodge was the highlight of our entire trip. Every single dollar paid is worth it just for the level of service and the unforgettable experience Kapama offers. The reserve is beautifully maintained without interfering with the natural lives of the animals. Game drives were punctual, and the staff thought of every detail — from warm blankets and heat sources on cold mornings to coffee and snacks mid-drive. They truly care about your comfort and wellbeing.
We were lucky to be taken care of by Happiness, Fanie, Valecia, and Katherine — without them, our stay wouldn’t have been the same. Their warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail made our time in Kapama absolutely magical.
We’re vegan, and not once did we feel like a burden. Every meal and snack came with plant-based alternatives, prepared with care and variety. If you have dietary restrictions, rest assured: they’ve got you covered.
If there’s one thing to take away from this review, it’s this: stay at Kapama. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience — not just for the wildlife, but for the people who make it so special.

Excellent Summer Trip
I am very happy with our host Amos; he was personable, friendly, patient, and a good communicator. He took the time to understand all our needs and was able to accommodate them all in the itinerary.
Our guide and driver was, excellent. He took us to places where we could see wildlife up close. In Tarangire, he guided us along the Tarangire River, where many animals came to drink. The same was true in the Serengeti, where we found numerous animals near the rivers we approached, such as the Seronera, Grumeti, and Mara. We loved Ngorongoro, and getting down to the crater floor was amazing.
Staying in the great lodges and tented camps was extremely exciting and completely lovely. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we are looking forward to booking another trip with Migration Venture Africa.

Prompt communication and accommodating service
We had an amazing 7-day safari experience. Our guide Kulet had a sharp eye and always managed to find the best views and wildlife moments. Everything was well-organized, and communication was smooth, Peter replied almost instantly every time. Great value for money. Highly recommended!

We thought our guide did an outstanding job with what he had to work with.
When we reached out to Big Apes Africa - the itinerary sent over was very professional-like. However, it was never communicated with us that we needed our e-visa before arriving to the airport. With hours to spare and not enough time - we reached out to say we needed to cancel our booking and then, miraculously for an additional charge, we got an expedited visa.
With that out of the way, we loved the chimpanzee and gorilla trekking experiences. We do want to make others aware that the drive times were not communicated clearly and we spent 7-9 hours traveling each of our 4 days.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were provided, however, one of the day days our driver got lost (no GPS) and we arrived to our lodge at 10 PM and chose to skip dinner. All in all, we would recommend, but would be interested to see what a longer experience.
