Very exhilarating experience with knowledgeable and positive guides.
Best to start early in the morning, which gives you the best chance of spotting the Lions and Cheetahs, if lucky on hunt. Great experience, would like to do it again.

Your partner for the safari in Tanzania
I used their services for a 3-day safari in Selous, with lodging at Wilderness Camp, which is a great lodge with wonderful people.
Everything went as scheduled. The car they used was a good old Land Cruiser which showed its age but turned up confortable (as it can be with a safari 4x4). What was agreed was delivered in exactly the terms agreed. The safari was nice, and the driver Simon was a very good and knowleadgeable driver who managed to get us in the most exciting zones of the reservation, even thou he is "a man of few words", to say the least. So we did not really had a guide, but that worked fine for us, no worries here.
So all in all, Grassroots is a partner in which you can trust, and their prices are amongst the chepest you'll find for what is delivered.
Highly recommended!

We used the Safari Specialist
Having been on only 1 safari previously,many years ago, we certainly needed professional help in choosing how to maximize our safari experience. That's where Jono and his team came to the rescue. Jono listened to what we were looking for and put together a tailor made itinerary for the four of us. We had seen many group tours for safari but that's not what we wanted. We eventually had an amazing experience of three destinations in Zambia. We found Jono and the entire team meticulous in their approach and detail. Jono's intimate knowledge of Africa meant that the destinations were exactly what we were hoping for. Lions, leopards, wild dogs, hippos, elephant, you name it we saw it. Also we had the amazing experience of a walking safari, where we encountered lions and canoe safari where we encountered hippos and crocodiles up close. The entire process including all documentation, internal flights, transfers etc went like clockwork. We will definitely be doing another safari with Encompass Africa.

Last minute trip with world class service
My original safari vendor backed out on my trip the morning of my flight to Kenya. Luckily I found Kennedy and African adventures and began quickly communicating on my way out the door. By the time I arrived my trip to Amboseli was sorted with and excellent guide, Jackson, and lodgings. Kennedy demonstrates world class professionalism, prompt communications and competitive pricing. His knowledge of when and where to go is exceptional. I recommend his services without reservation. He will ensure your trip is as smooth as possible from the time you leave the airport until your face to face with an elephant.

Perfectly planned trip
The service we received from Wild Africa Travel Company was excellent, the advice first class, the Safari Tours exceeded our expectations and the whole package could not be faulted.
So much better than I even dreamed!
Uganda is an absolutely beautiful country with green fields, farmlands, and mountains offering stunning vistas. You can drive around the country and tour multiple parks with a variety of animals - the volume of wildlife was incredible! Trekking to see the gorillas was definitely a highlight and worth every penny, but it was the daily viewing of wildlife both inside and outside the parks that made the biggest impression. There were giraffes on the side of the road even before we got to our first park! Every time I looked out the window of our vehicle I saw a herd of elephants, zebra, or giraffe - even a lion sitting by the side of the road. The friend I went with had been on safari in South Africa and she commented that Uganda had so many more animals in the parks. Uganda was an easy place to travel too. The people were welcoming and it seemed like everyone wants Uganda to be a successful tourist destination. We went with Terrain Safaris and our guide Moses was the nicest man who made sure we were always taken care of and were able to see everything we wanted to see. The lodging was better than I expected and there was absolutely no issue eating vegetarian meals (although this usually includes rice and potatoes at the same meal, it's apparently a guest lodge thing to do most likely to ensure no one leaves hungry!) although there weren't too many Ugandan dishes on offer - I would have loved to try more. The fruits and veggies were delicious though - tomatoes, bananas, pineapple, watermelon, tea, and coffee were available everywhere. I'd highly recommend traveling here - definitely go for the gorillas and wildlife but make sure you take time to enjoy the beautiful views of this amazing country!

You must experience it because pics & videos can never capture the essence of a Tanzanian Safari
Everything was like a dream. The scenery itself is breathtaking, but with the animals, the experience becomes surreal. The animals roam the land freely, without humans getting in their way. Our accommodations were a perfect blend of luxury and camping (glamping), which gave us the feeling of early safari explorations with a touch of modern essentials. The food was locally sourced and delicious. The weather during our 5 day Safari was cool in the mornings and evenings, in the 80s (fahrenheit) during the peak of the day (we never wore shorts and wished we hadn't packed them). The air was very dry, though we did have a tiny bit of rain for about 30 minutes one afternoon. We did not know about Tarangire before, but are very grateful our booking company suggested we stop there. We thoroughly enjoyed it as well as the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.

One of the best experiences of my life!
The trip was amazingly well coordinated and thought through. From day one, everything was taken care of, which removed a lot of stress. And within hours of landing in Kenya, we were on a reserve seeing giraffes, zebras, monkeys, antelope, even leopards and lions! And that was only the first day! Every day was a new adventure, and Jim's hand-picked drivers were so knowledgeable and observant. There were times we couldn't believe the drivers had spotted wild animals through brush and over plains. This experience is something everyone should do in their life time, and with Jim as your guide, you will never be wanting for more. We got so much closer and saw so many more varieties and amounts of animals than I ever would have guessed. He's a very skilled photographer, so if you want the best angles and tips on how to get the best shots, he's your guy! I left with over 6000 photos over the coarse of 2 weeks through Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda. There were so many things to take photos of, so many opportunities for amazing photos and even more amazing experiences!
