“Fantastic Wildlife Experiences and Warm Hospitality”
We had a memorable trip overall, with several standout experiences, and a few areas that could be improved.
Our transfer from the airport to Insika Lodge was smooth and well‑organized. The hotel offered very good accommodation, although the dining experience didn’t quite meet expectations due to a few mix‑ups with food and drink orders. The Victoria Falls tour was wonderful.
The transfer vehicle to Botswana was unfortunately below standard. There was a noticeable exhaust smell inside the cabin, and the seats were in poor condition, which made the journey uncomfortable.
Our stay at Chobe Bush Lodge was excellent. The food and service were consistently very good, and the boat trip was a real highlight of our time there.
The bush camp, Kadizora Camp, was exceptional. The game drives and boat excursions were outstanding, the staff were warm and personable, and the food was truly wonderful. It was a first‑rate experience from start to finish. This experience we will not soon forget!

Personalized and Trustworthy Experience!
They are very flexible and can take you wherever you'd like. They handled all hotel and camp transfers. We felt safe the whole time. Their pricing was reasonable compared to other companies and they can work with you on price. We had an 8 person vehicle and private driver for just the two of us. Our favorite camp was Nykani. Our drivers were nice and informative. Alice did a great job communicating with us on what we wanted. Our expectations were met as far as service and quality. Alice's communication before, during, and after the safari made this review 5 stars because she made sure we were well taken care of during our safari.

The most knowledgeable, kind, funny, likeable person ever who is super passionate about his work
I’m not someone who usually leaves reviews, but Jackson from Top Selected honestly deserves all the credit in the world. My girlfriend and I spent 8 days on safari with him, plus another excursion he organized for us before the trip, and it ended up being the best travel experience I’ve ever had.
From the moment we met him, it was obvious how experienced he is. He has been guiding for 17 years, and you can see that in the way he notices things long before anyone else does. He took us into parts of the parks that other guides never even attempted. Most vehicles stayed clustered together on the same roads while Jackson confidently drove us through routes that were completely empty. Because of that, we saw wildlife and scenery that nobody else around us got to experience.
What surprised me most was how respected he is within the industry. Other guides stopped their cars just to talk to him or ask him questions, and many mentioned that he had trained them when they first started. You can tell he’s someone everyone looks up to. Even once during a game drive, he saw another tour guide and company had popped his tire and Jackson stopped quickly to help the other tour guide replace his tire.
I also have to mention the food because it was unreal. Every time we looked around at other groups, they were having cold sandwiches, apples and packaged snacks. Meanwhile, we were getting hot meals packed with meat, fresh juices, appetizers and desserts. The chef clearly cares about his cooking and it showed every single day.
Throughout the entire trip, Jackson stayed involved and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying everything. He never rushed us and he always checked in to see if we were happy with the day. He’s knowledgeable, reliable and genuinely easy to be around. He is packed full of information about all the animals whether it’s a lion, cheetah, or elephant or even a small bird or snakes.
If you’re planning a safari, I would recommend Jackson without hesitation. He turned an already exciting trip into something unforgettable.
Breathtaking, amazing, and worth the $!
I went with a few friends and we had the best time! Everything was super smooth from the start, we got picked up from the airport and were driven right to the accommodations. The service throughout was top tier, every driver we had was amazing! The food was also amazing, and they gave us good portions. The communication was fast and easy, we communicated through email and then through whatsapp once we got there. The wildlife we got to see was breathtaking, and all of our guides put in the effort to make sure we saw everything we could. Highly recommend!

We have no hesitation in recommending Grassrootz to anyone wanting to tour in Uganda.
After doing thorough research into numerous tour companies, we chose Grassrootz based on communication, flexibility with itinerary, accommodation etc and competitive pricing. It was a great decision. Our driver and guide was Barnice who was excellent. It truly was a trip of a lifetime and if you have time, it is worth going to Uganda not just for Gorillas but for multiple other amazing wildlife and nature experiences.

Tarangire–Ngorongoro–Manyara: A great safari trip, a memorable night drive!
The 3-Day Fly-in Safari with Bavuma Wild Quest was memorable and enjoyable. Upon arrival in Arusha, the guide took us straight to Tarangire, where we were amazed by the incredible presence of elephants and giraffes. The Ngorongoro Crater was full of wildlife, and the peaceful, green environment of Lake Manyara was truly breathtaking.
The highlight was the complimentary night game drive, which made our entire trip even more special. Overall, the experience was great—there were only a few places we felt we could have enjoyed more if we had had more time.
Nevertheless, the team’s sincerity, the guide’s expertise, and the tour’s beautiful organization are truly commendable.

Our group included 14 climbers—some who flew in from the US and others from India
Beginning our Kilimanjaro trek on the Machame Route on October 18, 2025, we had a group of 13 trekkers from India, along with some friends from England. Once we connected with Aardvark Expeditions, everything fell into place. Their sales team was the fastest to respond to our requests, providing us with straight answers, clear pricing, and zero confusion; this led us to choose them.
On the mountain, our guides (Bariki, Gabriel and the whole crew) were absolutely AMAZING! They provided us with patient guidance even during our most difficult moments. They monitored our oxygen levels each day and gave us all the encouragement we needed when we reached the steep Barranco Wall ascent. Cook Eric created unique and delicious meals for us every night; his soups provided us with the energy needed to continue trekking.
We heard about Aardvark Expeditions through our friends who had previously summited with them, and we can see why Aardvark Expeditions maintained a high degree of professionalism throughout the entire trek, from tents and pacing to safety. When all thirteen of us reached Uhuru Peak as a group, we felt a shared achievement with the entire crew. I can confidently recommend Aardvark Expeditions for anyone planning a Kilimanjaro climb.

Professional and organised and offering a good deal
Did a three days safari at the end of November. It has a wonderful experience! In the first day I arrived from Sar es Salaam and after been greeted by the personnel at the Selous River View Lodge, I went to the boat safari on the Rufiji river. The second day I did a car safari all day long and the last day I did the walking safari and came back to Dar. Everyone has always been professional and the food was really good and the guides were always fun and engaging!

A reliable, caring, and responsive team that truly looks after its guests
I joined a 3-day, 2-night Maasai Mara tour with Tall Masai Safari, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Their price was much more reasonable compared to other companies, and the excellent communication with Nancy — always quick and clear through both email and WhatsApp — was one of the main reasons I chose this company.
Maasai Mara was absolutely beautiful, and as promised, we explored the park in a 4x4 Jeep and enjoyed many unforgettable wildlife scenes. I would love to come back again.
Our group included travelers with different schedules, but everything was managed. When I had a small issue during the trip, Nancy, Peter, and Safari from Tall Masai all stepped in immediately and genuinely tried to improve the situation. Their teamwork and dedication made me feel very well taken care of.
Overall, Tall Masai Safari exceeded my expectations, and I truly recommend them to anyone planning a Maasai Mara experience.
