Excellent planning and execution of multi day safari tour including chimpanzee and gorilla tracking
I had a great experience with Ngoni safari for this multi day itinerary. The team planned it very well and it happened perfectly. I would strongly recommend them for organizing this tour. I just focused on the experience and they did all the hard work.

Grassrootz offers well paced, authentic adventures that reveal Uganda in all its wild richness
We travelled through Uganda with Grassrootz for two weeks, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
From the first communication with Sander van Zanten, everything was clear, honest, and very well structured. The itinerary made sense and was exactly what we were looking for. Long travel days were balanced with calmer moments, and intense wildlife experiences were followed by time to rest and absorb everything.
Travelling through Uganda requires experience, flexibility, and good planning, which is exactly where Grassrootz really stands out. Despite long distances, rough roads, and changing conditions, everything ran smoothly. We always felt well prepared, well informed, and in very good hands.
A huge part of the experience was our guide and driver Bob Magezi. Calm, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable, he took great care of us every single day. His ability to spot wildlife was remarkable, and many of our best sightings happened thanks to his experience and patience.
The route itself showcased Uganda’s incredible diversity. Savannah and rainforest, rhinos, chimpanzees, lions, leopards, elephants, and gorillas. Over the course of the journey, we saw more than 150 bird species, over 50 animal species, and countless butterflies and insects. At times, it truly felt like being in a living nature documentary.
We also deeply appreciated how respectfully Grassrootz handles cultural encounters and wildlife experiences. Nothing felt staged or rushed, and there was a strong sense of responsibility throughout the trip.
Grassrootz offers real, well-thought-out adventures with strong local knowledge and genuine care. We would absolutely travel with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an authentic Uganda safari.
Unforgettable Safari Experience with the Best Guide Fadhil and Safari by
We spent 9 fantastic days with friends from Safari by Z.
Bashir meticulously organized the trip for us.
The fantastic Fadhlili (an expert driver) who is always able to take unique roads, allowing us to find ourselves alone in fantastic situations and an excellent guide with his knowledge of the territory helped us discover all the secrets of the animals seen in the savannah, turned it into magic.
We visited the Tarangire park, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro conservation area and the very famous Serengeti!
Thanks to them we were able to see the big 5! And above all the very rare Leopard. Our guide was sensitive towards animals! Never a risky maneuver (like others do), never any disturbing actions and above all PASSION FOR YOUR JOB!
The reason why we saw so many animals is that the guide wanted to see them first! The guide on a safari is the most important thing!
We will forever thank SAFARI BY Z - Bashir, Fadhlili

Exemplary
We had a great Safari, the hotels were great especially Serena Kilaguni, where you watch animals come to water hole from the dinning.
Our tour guide Mugambi was so nice with a keen eye on spotting animals. We got to see the rare Leopard in Tsavo West among other animals.

Best Safari Experience We Could Have 😎
We had lot of fun and hakuna matata vibes with Kelvini and Dicksoni, our Serengheti African Tour guides. They made the Safari exciting with their politeness, experience and knowledge about the place. We would definately go again and would change absolutely nothing.

From the Serengeti to Kilimanjaro – Seamless Adventure, Professional Expert Guide and True Integrity
We recently returned from a dual-adventure trip to Tanzania over Christmas ’25 — a last‑minute plan that combined a Serengeti safari with a Mt. Kilimanjaro trek. Our group grew from two to four, including a couple in their 70s with specific constraints, making coordination especially complex and tricky.
Coordination & Planning
Organizing this trip was a marathon, with more than 10 iterations before the itinerary was finalized. Through it all, Aishwarya was exceptional. Responsive, patient, and always “on the ball,” she navigated shifting group sizes, banking/payment delays, and logistical hurdles with calm professionalism. Her patience, persistence and clarity kept the trip on track when everyone’s patience was wearing thin.
Serengeti Safari – Guided by Elia
If you book this trip, ask for Elia. He is a phenomenal guide — sharp, grounded, and blessed with vision sharper than the predators themselves. He spotted a lion in a tree from 500m away, visible to us only through binoculars.
Elia is “flexible like water,” adapting to every request with humor and confidence. His integrity is equally remarkable: when his personal binoculars went missing, he politely declined our offer to replace them. Beyond wildlife expertise, his attentiveness to safety — even in bustling market areas — gave us complete peace of mind. A true gentleman and a legend.
Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek
The mountain leg was equally rewarding. Our guide was a powerhouse of fitness and knowledge, leading us confidently to the 4,000m+ altitude. His insights into local flora, fauna, and route intricacies transformed the climb into an educational journey as much as a physical challenge.
Summary
This operator delivers both luxury wildlife viewing, comfortable tents and demanding mountain trekking with world‑class professionalism. From sensitive family logistics to high‑altitude adventure, they turn complex plans into seamless, unforgettable memories. Highly recommended.

Attentive and knowledgeable
Amniel is a very careful and attentive drive. I feel it is important to highlight it as we have seen many cars stuck in the mud or broken down, and even one accident in Serengeti.
He is also very knowledgeable and had a keen eye for the animals. But I feel most of the tour guides will be like so, as people from all companies communicate and give tips to where to find them.
Outside the game drive, the accommodations were really good. I didn't expect this level of comfort for a safari.
