Incredible
During the final week of August 2025 my wife and I joined my good friend's family for the 9-day Migration River Crossing.
From the moment we signed up Usma, our Wakanda's contact, was extremely helpful in providing information needed to prepare for our first adventure in the African continent. As a result, we felt assured, our excitement and confidence boosted as we waited for August to arrive.
The trip was wonderful and enjoyable: food and accommodation were great, it was safe, the guides (Anderson and Gabriel) were engaging as well as knowledgeable, and be prepared for some bumpy driving across the parks. Wakanda put in considerable efforts to make it a memorable for all of us. The mandatory briefing session at the end of the each day was a great stress-reliever as it provided a dialogue regarding concerns and clarifications.
From the sprawling limestone-green craggy walls of Ngorongoro to the sheer vastness of Serengeti Park and eye-popping Mt. Kilimanjaro the sights were breathtaking, stays with you forever. The highlight has to be the wildebeest crossings at the Mara River, often described as "one of the the greatest natural spectacles" For this spectacle, you just have to be there to take it all in with your senses, as no documentary or pictures can quite capture the tension, drama and scale of the crossings.
However, for me, the Kodak moment was seeing the mighty hippos and pinkish flamingoes chilling in a breezy lake somewhere in the Ngorongoro crater zone. Under the gorgeous sunshine the images were simply dazzling.
Day 6 was when I carelessly left my tablet on my bed at the lodge, and I wasn't aware of it until Gabriel alerted me. Usma said that they'll try to bring it to me at the airport just before departure. And they did. They didn't have to go all the way for a mistake I made, but they did. It demonstrates the integrity and commitment of Wakanda to their clients, and that is deeply appreciated.
If you're looking for magic in animal kingdom, it doesn't get better than this. Well-supported and organized, the trip was littered with "wow" moments as we observe birds and animals (Big 5, blue monkeys, cheetahs, hyenas, spiderman lizard, etc) in their natural setting: living and playing side by side, resting, limping, TLC with their cubs, having a lonely walk, grazing, being aroused, crossing a dusty road, fighting, being chased, etc. A highly-recommended program.

Extremely kind and hospitable and professional
Travelled with a group of friends from Kampala Capital City to Ibanda, an upcountry town. The service provider was helpful and was able to reach our destination in good time. The communication skills were excellent and yet the price was affordable.

Our operator, Pilgrim Safari Tours, perfectly planned and operated our 4-day safari.
We had a wonderful four-day safari in Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Our driver, Adrian, was very friendly and accommodating, and we had many wonderful moments with him. Adrian chose the best routes for us, found all the animals we wanted to watch, and told us a lot about the country, the people, and the animals. We saw many elephants, lions, zebras, wildebeests, antelopes, but also ostriches, hippos, buffalo, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, warthogs, crocodiles, porcupines, and much more. The encounters with families and their young were particularly exciting. Above all, Adrian was very reliable; we felt at ease the entire time.

Great Namibian Self-Driving Safari
Chrizell at Secret Namibia was fantastic to work with. We laid out basically where we were interested in going and what we liked/disliked and she created a complete plan and made all bookings for everything from a 4x4 to hotels, activities, and transfers. If we had any questions or issues she was right there for us (including getting us a Wi-Fi hot spot when it turned out our international data plans didn't include Namibia for some reason).
The places we stayed were all top-notch and we received excellent service everywhere we went including Windhoek, the deserts of Kalahari and Namib, Swakopmund, and Damaraland. We highly recommend Secret Namibia.
