Professional, exceptional and brilliant
I recently summited Kilimanjaro with Nafika, and the experience was outstanding. Elias was highly responsive from the point of booking and in relation to the climb, the whole team—ranging from porters to our guides, especially Meshack and Erfata - were exceptional. Their professionalism, experience, and focus on our wellbeing ensured we reached the top safely. Highly organized, caring, and dedicated, Nafika truly made this adventure unforgettable.

Great trip
Our safari experience was nothing short of incredible! From the moment we arrived, everything was so well-organized and seamless. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also deeply passionate about the wildlife and landscapes, which made every drive exciting and educational.
We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, along with countless other animals and birds, and each sighting felt magical thanks to the guides’ sharp eyes and insights. The camp/lodge was comfortable, beautifully set in nature, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was delicious, and every meal felt special, whether under the stars or with a view of the savannah.
What stood out most was the sense of connection — to the land, the wildlife, and the people. It was an unforgettable adventure that left us with memories (and photos!) we’ll treasure forever. Highly recommended for anyone who dreams of a true safari experience.
Massive thanks to Max and the Topma Team

Perfect Private Safari Adventure
Niko & Susan planned the perfect safari adventure for my husband and I. We spent 8 nights exploring 4 parks; Amboseli, Ngorogoro Crater, Serengeti and Masai Mara. Every detail was planned for us and we were well taken care of while on our trip. All the guides were excellent, friendly and knowledgeable.
Communication throughout the booking was good, and Niko tailored our accommodation to our budget - also providing recommendations along the way.
Highly recommend working with Niko and Susan on booking your safari adventure.

Honeymoon trip
We just finished a 3-day safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara with Sereland Safaris, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Everything exceeded our expectations: from our professional, humble, and friendly guide, to the wonderful accommodations, and the smooth and thoughtful communication during the booking and planning with Mike, the owner.
This was our honeymoon, something we had been looking forward to for two years, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. The team went above and beyond to make it special, arranging beautiful romantic touches at the lodges as well as during and even after the trip.
I felt safe and well taken care of the entire time, and compared to stories we’ve heard from others, I know our experience was something truly exceptional. Choosing Sereland Safaris was the best decision we could have made.

Clear and prompt communications with Edison ensured a smooth gorilla hiking experience
My amazing gorilla trek was seamlessly coordinated by Bamboo EcoTours. Every step of the trip, from initial inquiry to delivery, was a breeze, thanks to Edison's clear and timely information. My driver/guide, Amanya, was prompt and friendly and provided information about things along the way on our drive from Kigali to Lake Mulehe and Bwindi National Park. I decided to do the Golden Monkey trek the following day after completing the Gorilla trek, and again this was organised with no fuss. I highly recommend Bamboo Eco Tours!

Beautiful and friendly, but lacking a bit of wildlife.
Uganda is a very friendly country and definitely worth the visit.
Pros:
Amazing primate wildlife: gorillas, chimpanzees and many other smaller primates (monkeys) can be easily watched.
Very good birding.
Beautiful forested hills and mountains to the West of the country.
Beautiful geographical features, like Lake Victoria, Murchison Falls, the Nile, Ruwenzori and Virunga mountains. All within reach.
Friendly people everywhere. Drivers, guides, rangers, hotel staff, all are very nice and devoted to their work.
Professional guides and drivers know their trade well.
Very good food everywhere we went.
Good lodges, although some were a bit below par for a mid-range aspiration.
Cons:
Other than primates, wildlife is unevenly present in the parks. Some lack this, some lack that, etc.
Overall, wildlife does not appear in vast numbers as it does in other countries in the region, despite censuses and claims to the contrary (they are sure true, but it just does not show on the field).
Dreadful dirt roads in the forested areas, really bad even for trained drivers with adequate 4x4 cars. Well below the standard in neighbouring countries.
Driving times can be very long on account of the state of the roads (even those on tar).

Marvelous trip
We spent 8 days in Uganda doing a safari with Dav Safaris, it was fantastic! Saw so many animals gorillas, elephants, lions, hippos and crocodiles. The lodges were very nice and the organization perfect. The land is beautiful and the people very warm and welcoming!

Review about Kalinzu Forest Reserve by Domitilla Marchi
We liked the trek, it was a little hard to find the chimpanzee and they were up on the trees, but overall it was a good experience
