Great safari, smooth booking, amazing guide, and excellent value throughout.
We had an excellent experience with Pilama Safaris!
The booking was very easy and the company was very responsive and helpful as we made our booking.
The safari experience itself was great. Jacob, our guide, was amazing! He was extremely professional and the trip was all very well planned out. He also went out of his way to make our trip comfortable, taking care of all of the little details. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the park. He also taught us a lot about Uganda culture in general.
We felt like the safari was an excellent value and we would highly recommended it to anyone. The highlight for us was seeing the top of the Murchison Falls - it’s a breathtaking view.
Thank you for an amazing experience, Pilama Safaris! Make a one sentence summary

Great communication in advance of our trip + a great guide during our trip
I loved Crimson Brooke's communication immediately. When asking for quotes, several companies did not read what we were looking for in terms of more niche flights, but Amos at Crimson Brooke did and sent us the precise thing we were looking for in that intital quote - they also sent us a non flight option quote at that point to show the price difference which was useful to see. We then discussed further options and received prompt responses.
I'm not used to booking package holidays/deals so it felt quite unusual to me to have paid a lot of money and to hand over control on the "safari" element of our trip. But all went well!
They created a whatsapp group before the trip and were very quick to answer questions in it whilst we were in Kenya.
John - our guide and driver picked us up at the airstrip with a goodie bag which was sweet and handy (a big brimmed hat & insulated water bottle in particular) - and was very knowledgeable and professional + a good driver (we had a private jeep which was worth it). He would check in with us on what we wanted to do during our game drives.
We didn't know our package was all inclusive in terms of drinks so that was a surprise upon arrival - probably good for CBS to include when sending quotes as some other companies did (it wasn't a neccissity our side), we also got a free massage (not sure if that was for Valentine's?). Would most definitely recommend!
