5 Stars ins't just enough! 10 days Rwanda and Uganda Safari
My wife and I have just returned from what we can only describe as the most incredible adventure of our lives, all thanks to the exceptional team at Gorilla Pathfinders. From the moment we were greeted in Kigali to our final farewell at Entebbe Airport, every single detail was meticulously planned and executed with passion and expertise.
Our guide, Mambo James, is an absolute treasure. His knowledge was boundless—he wasn't just a driver; he was a master storyteller, a skilled wildlife spotter, and a kind-hearted ambassador for his countries. He made us feel safe, informed, and entertained throughout the entire 10 days. James, thank you for your patience, your incredible sense of humor, and for sharing your love for East Africa with us.
The itinerary was perfectly paced. The Kigali City Tour was a profound and humbling start. Trekking the playful Golden Monkeys in Volcanoes National Park was a delight, but nothing could prepare us for the raw emotion of coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla family in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. It was a truly spiritual experience we will cherish forever.
The adventures continued in Queen Elizabeth National Park, where James’s eagle eyes found us tree-climbing lions, and the boat safari on the Kazinga Channel was a floating paradise of hippos, elephants, and birds. Kibale National Park lived up to its name as the primate capital—hearing the calls of the chimpanzees and then spending an hour with them was exhilarating. And our trip ended on a high note with a magical canoe trip in Mabamba Swamp where we spotted the prehistoric and magnificent shoebill stork!
Gorilla Pathfinders, thank you. You delivered on every promise and then some. The accommodations were wonderful, the vehicle was comfortable, and the entire team's communication was flawless. If you are dreaming of a safari that combines breathtaking wildlife, rich culture, and genuine heart, look no further. You won't find a better company or a better guide than Mambo James.
We are already dreaming of our next trip with you. Asante Sana and Webale Nnyo!

Amazing Safari Trip, Perfect Guide Herman
Safari Meijo made a customized quote. Their suggestions about accommodation helped a lot. We enjoyed our staying and meals.
Our guide is Herman. No doubt, he is the best.
We know nothing about this land. So we trust him all the time, and it’s always right. He will take us to the best spot at perfect timing with professional introduction. So we got plenty of interesting photos and videos via memorable scenes.
I sincerely recommend Safari Meijo for your Tanzania trip.

Makisala Safaris Made My Trip Special
I had such a great time with Makisala Safaris during my trip to Dar and Zanzibar this August. From the start, their communication made everything so easy. I always felt updated and taken care of. The whole experience was smooth, reliable, and honestly such good value for money.
What I loved most was how well everything was organized, which let me just enjoy the trip without stress. Zanzibar was definitely the highlight for me, and the way the team planned it made it really special.
I’d happily recommend Makisala Safaris to anyone, they made my trip both fun and memorable.

Fantastic service!
Bev has been amazing since the first time I got in touch. Attentive, quick in responding, much more than just an employee. I would definitely recommend Elephant Herd.
