Martin was exuberant!!!
Our tour guide, Martin was extremely accommodating for our group of 5. Lucky to have seen THE BIG FIVE!!! Such gifts were left waiting for us to find. To top off the drive, a purple full moon was rising behind the distant mountains. Going home with an overflowing heart.
Warmly,

In 3 days we experienced green paradise and beautiful wildlife.
3 days in Tanzania and we think we left a piece of our heart there. The Goldfish Tours team management system was very well. They everything organized perfectly. We explored the famous Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro crater. The Serengeti was like National Geographic in real life, lions lounging like kings, zebras doing their thing, and elephants blocking the road like they owned it. Then we hit Ngorongoro Crater, it's so beautiful it doesn't even look real. The views, the animals, everything was next-level. Our guide cracked jokes the whole time, and by night we were laughing around the campfire, pretending we could tell animal sounds apart. It was wild, hilarious, and absolutely fantastic.

Amazing! Recommend for everyone
Serengeti Smile was amazing, from the booking and planning of the Safari through the Safari itself. Everything so organized, giving us information at all time. Champion, our guide, was simply amazing! Serengeti Smile made my dream safari come to life. Definitely recommend for everyone looking for Safari!

Eugene was amazing, smart, kind, made our time special.
The tour guides were amazing, they are kind, full od knowledge, and they make the best of what they are given. But bobby tour overall could provide better gear (tents, camps, cars). But again tour guides are amazing.

A new world wonder every day
Uganda with Buyaga Safari trip exceeded all our expectations. I completely changed my idea about Africa. This country's astonishing beauty is amazing!!! And people are so nice!!
Our biggest surprise was that everybody speaks English.
Buyaga planed our journey so, that practically every day brought us great surprises. When I thought we saw it all, no way to surprise me anymore, I got more and more amazing things.
All our hotels and lounges were just fantastic!!! Food was excellent.
Erik is a grate guide! He really did his best.
He is a good driver, nice person and reliable guide. Also very punctual. Every single point of our agenda was fulfilled 100%.
To be short: Uganda is my favorite country for now.
My advise: bring your binoculars and a lot of cash in small dollar bills for tips.
These people are so nice and they are doing their job so well that you will want to reward them.

Life-Changing Week in Uganda
My week in Uganda was absolutely wonderful — truly a life-changing experience from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, seamless, and filled with moments I’ll never forget. Moses created the perfect itinerary for me, thoughtfully including everything I had hoped to see — and so much more. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely taken care of.
The accommodations Moses selected were outstanding — each one unique, comfortable, and full of character, with the warmest hospitality. Every lodge was surrounded by incredible nature, making each evening peaceful and magical after a day of exploring. Even the long drives between destinations were comfortable and enjoyable, thanks to the spacious, well-maintained vehicle that made it easy to take in Uganda’s stunning scenery.
My guide, Racheal, was an absolute angel — there truly are no other words to describe her. I was traveling solo, and she made me feel like I was exploring with a dear friend. We shared so many amazing conversations during our drives, and her love, pride, and deep knowledge of her country were inspiring. Her energy and enthusiasm made every moment special and unforgettable.
The excursions and safaris were unforgettable — from watching elephants, lions, giraffes, and hippos in their natural habitat to cruising along beautiful waterways filled with wildlife. Every day brought a new adventure, perfectly timed and thoughtfully guided.
And as the grand finale, I had the incredible opportunity to take part in the Mountain Gorilla Habituation experience — truly one of the most profound moments of my life. Spending extended time with a gorilla family in their natural environment was humbling, emotional, and beyond words. It was the perfect ending to an already extraordinary week.
I can’t thank Moses and Racheal enough for making this journey so meaningful and memorable. Their care, organization, and genuine passion turned a dream trip into something I’ll carry in my heart forever. Uganda is a place of breathtaking beauty and even more beautiful people — I’ll be forever grateful for this experience.
