6 out of 5 stars for Vincent
WOW!!
Our 10 day Best of Uganda lodge safari (10-19 Oct 2025) was booked through Speke's agent partner World Expeditions in Australia.
Despite having experienced memorable safaris through Southern Africa our Uganda trip has been the best so far.
Expertly led by Vincent, we were blown away by the sheer number of animals we saw and each day's experience surpassed the previous.
The lodges/staff/meals were excellent and the program had a good mix of game drives, boat cruises and on foot adventures (Speke even surprised us with a bonus boat cruise on Lake Bunyonyi, thank you!).
Highest praise for Vincent, world's best game spotter (even when also having to concentrate on driving over rugged roads) and a most experienced leader. Vincent went the extra mile: getting up early to register us for the gorilla trek (so lucky we only had to trek 30 minutes to get to our gorilla group!!); organising late check out so we could shower after our gorilla trek; getting us first on the boats so we could have prime viewing seats; taking us to restaurants where we could experience local cuisine...just to name a few of the extras he did for us.
Thank you Vincent and Speke for a most memorable Uganda journey.

An insane experience that’s worth everything
My experience was amazing.
Everything was arranged for me down to the smallest details — food, accommodation, availability, and more.
It was the cheapest price I found, with conditions that suited me perfectly.
The tour itself was very interesting, I got to see a bit of everything.
The guides searched for the animals with great effort and always made sure we were comfortable and taken care of

Exceptional service from start to finish
Booking my safari through The Classic Safari Company was one of the best decisions I made. I had originally considered using an Africa-based operator, but quickly realised how much uncertainty and risk comes with dealing with an overseas company where, if something went wrong, I would have had no real recourse.
From the moment I reached out to Classic Safaris, the difference was obvious. Their service was exceptional — personal, responsive, and genuinely invested in crafting the right trip for my family. My consultant’s knowledge of Africa was incredible. Every recommendation felt thoughtful and perfectly tailored, and the information provided was clear, accurate, and incredibly reassuring.
Throughout the entire process I felt informed, and confident. There were no unknowns, no guesswork, and certainly none of the stress that comes with trying to plan a family holiday on my own.
I can honestly say that Classics made the experience not only seamless but unforgettable. If you're considering a safari, don’t gamble with any other operator — book with The Classic Safari Company. They are, without doubt, the go-to specialists for Africa.

Best time ever
Our recent game drive tour in Tanzania was nothing short of extraordinary with unforgettable wildlife encounters. Our guide Samir was exceptional, knowledgeable, and spotted animals from remarkable distances while ensuring we had the best view possible. The highlight was undoubtedly coming across a leopard, climbing up a tree and killing prey. The vehicle was comfortable, the views were breathtaking, and the wildlife sightings were beyond anything we expected. A must-do adventure for anyone visiting Africa. We will definitely use Gosheni and Samir again when we come back to Africa!

Highly Recommend Excel Getaways
I used Nancy with Excel Getaways to book my first safari in Kenya last year. I was so impressed and fell in love with Kenya that I booked a second safari to Kenya this year. I stayed in 3 different parks including Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East. Nancy took care of all the details and all I had to do was show up at the airport. The 3 camps I stayed in were all lovely with great locations. The view of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Amboseli and the amazing waterholes in Tsavo West and East – saw so much wildlife relaxing on the back deck. Two of the camps also had pools which was nice as it did get quite hot during the day. I have complete faith in Nancy’s recommendations and her attention to all the details. The terrain of these parks was very different than Massai Mara which made wildlife sightings more challenging. I was most fortunate to have Nico as a guide again this year. He is very personable with 30 years guiding experience. He speaks fluent German and English. I was blessed to see so many amazing animal sightings because of Nico’s expertise. Some highlights were Craig in Amboseli (the oldest surviving super tusker); male and female ostriches walking along the road with their 12 chicks, a nursing giraffe and numerous nursing baby elephants. Another highlight was seeing 6 lion cubs emerge from a bush their mom’s had hid them in all day. Such an amazing trip!! I highly recommend Nancy with Excel Getaways as a fantastic, trustworthy tour operator and Nico as a guide – you will be in good hands.

Good Friends Indeed
Kelvin and his team are charismatic and engaging. Helping me arrange and offering alternative suggestions for camps to suit our budget through the initial planning phase of our trip to Tanzania was very welcomed. Kelvin really does go above and beyond - even when I left my all important camera charger at home (who does that!), he went out sourcing for me in Arusha. Such a star!
A special thank you to our tour guides who took us on what I can only say is one of my all time best trips to Africa. Mr Hamadi and Renalda were great companions for my sister and I. They were always accommodating, polite and full of stories on their homeland and culture which we very much appreciated.
Tanzania definitely put on a show for us and I am so pleased to say "The Big Five" has now been ticked off for both of us. The landscapes and of course what we all come to see, the wildlife, are simply breathtaking. Seeing such diverse landscapes throughout our trip to Lake Manyara NP, Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Crater + Conservation Area was a true delight. Driving days are long, but to be honest you get to see so much more and I thoroughly enjoyed each day - even the ones where it was a continual "African massage". Much joy and laughs were had by us and I hope our guides enjoyed our time just as much.
I know I will be back to Africa in a few years and will seek out Kelvin and his team from Tanzania Good Friends Safaris again for their assistance. . Supporting the local, smaller safari companies I believe you get a more personal experience. I strongly recommend that you do the same :)
Until next time - Asante Sana

Amazing hospitality, great guides, absolute joy. Memory of lifetime
We had the pleasure of working with Nelson and Tourfull Expedition for our Kilimanjaro hike and safari arrangements, and we were blown away by their amazing crew! They took care of us from start to finish, treating us with exceptional kindness and professionalism. Their team motivated and inspired us throughout our journey, making it an experience we'll never forget. Paddy and I are still raving about their outstanding service, and every single member of the crew deserves a huge thank you!

Great!
Our experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish! The pickup from Mombasa was smooth, and our driver was exceptional — deeply passionate about spotting as many animals as possible during the safari, which made every moment exciting.
Salt Lick Safari Lodge was truly extraordinary. Waking up to the roar of a lion was unforgettable, and being able to watch elephants, zebras, and other wildlife strolling beneath the raised lodge felt like something out of a dream. It’s a place where nature is right outside your window.
The journey continued beautifully all the way to Moshi, including the seamless crossing into Tanzania. Overall, it was an adventure we will never forget — perfectly organized, thrilling, and filled with breathtaking moments! Highly reccomend!
