Joe is Amazing and very knowledgeable
This was my first solo trip to Kenya and I booked my 7 day tour with super eagles. The communication has been great right from the start. Brian was very helpful and answered all my questions very promptly. Everything was very well organized from the pickups to the accommodation as well as the game drives. Joe our tour guide was nothing short of amazing. He is very knowledgeable and has an amazing eye spotting wildlife. He definitely made this trip very memorable. I highly recommend booking with super eagles.

My First Time in Kenya!
This was my first time visiting Kenya, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction than through Leopard Orchids. From the beginning, the communication was clear and timely, and every question I had was answered with patience and care.
When we arrived, the Leopard Orchids team was there to welcome us—a gesture that felt sincere and set the tone for the rest of the journey. It wasn’t just about logistics, it was about people, and that stayed consistent throughout.
Lawrence, our guide, was exceptional. He was reliable, well-informed, and always made sure we were comfortable. He carried the group with quiet confidence—never overwhelming, but always present when it mattered. The tour itself was thoughtfully paced, giving us time to take in every place without ever feeling rushed.
What stood out most was the genuine kindness—not just from Lawrence, but from everyone we met through Leopard Orchids. It felt less like being “handled” by a tour company and more like being welcomed by people who truly cared about our experience.
If you're looking to travel with a team that’s grounded, sincere, and deeply connected to the land they’re sharing with you, I’d wholeheartedly recommend Leopard Orchids.

Flexible, Photographer-Friendly, and Well-Guided: My Experience of 8-Day Uganda Photo Safari
I’m a wildlife photographer, and in May 2025, I went on an 8-day private photo safari organized by Brian, the owner of GoExplore Safari. The goal was to photograph Uganda’s wildlife highlights: gorillas in Bwindi, big cats in Queen Elizabeth, chimpanzees in Kibale, and the rare Shoebill Stork in Mabamba Swamp. The itinerary was well thought out, and everything ran smoothly.
I flew into Kigali, Rwanda, which I highly recommend if you're heading to the Rushaga sector of Bwindi — much closer and more convenient than Entebbe. If photography is your priority, I also suggest booking two gorilla treks or considering Mgahinga. I only did one, and while it was incredible to see them, capturing strong images was difficult. The rainforest is thick, lighting tricky, and your movement limited — just something to keep in mind.
Mozes, my guide, was outstanding. He’s punctual, safe, knowledgeable, and has a clear love for wildlife. He studied tourism, understands photography, and even shared stories from past conservation work, like relocating giraffes from Murchison Falls to Kidepo. He always positioned the car for the best angles and made the drives smooth and productive.
Our first stop was Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge, just five minutes from Rushaga Gate. The lodge was cozy, well-designed, and mosquito-free, with great coffee and local food — an ideal base for gorilla trekking.
In Queen Elizabeth, we had four full days of game drives. I like to go hard on photography, so we were out from sunrise to sunset. One major perk with GoExplore is you can plan your own drive schedule within park hours (6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.). On our first day, we stayed until closing — the only car left in Kasenyi Plains. That kind of flexibility made a huge difference.
I also recommend the optional lion and leopard tracking. You’re still in your private vehicle, but a tracker joins you and leads off-road directly to the cats. We spent nearly four hours with a leopard and her cubs in a cactus tree — truly a dream scenario for any photographer.
Chimpanzee trekking in Kibale was another highlight. The chimps came down from the trees and moved through the forest, and we followed them. The one-hour viewing stretched to 2.5 hours. For photography, it’s better to wait until they’re on the ground — the real action happens there.
On the final day, we went to Mabamba Swamp to see the Shoebill. From a photography standpoint, it’s the best place in Africa to photograph this rare bird. The canoe brings you to water level, with clean backgrounds and soft light — a perfect setup.
Uganda in late May was lush, green, and surprisingly dry — just one short rainstorm. The scenery, wildlife, and people made it a beautiful place to explore.
If you’re considering Uganda, book with GoExplore — and if you can, request Mozes. His experience and attention to detail made the entire trip not just productive, but truly enjoyable. Huge thanks to Brian and Mozes for making it all happen!

The best 2 day safari from zanzibar including domestic flights
We did a two day safari starting from Zanzibar covering Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangeri
National park. We had two lovely days spotting a lot of animals including the big five in a very short period of time. We will recommend the safari with Zamunda tours to oir friends. Our guide, Willy, was very professional and we would recommend him to our friends and family.

Excellent operator, good communication
We did a 3-day-tour to Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Kale Voyage, which functioned as a agent.
We joined a group Safari of another provider, but Kale Voyage did all the organizing for us (driving to the meeting point, answering questions, keeping in touch during the tour). Everything went smoothly, without any worries.
The Safari itself was beautiful, the guide great and the food tasty! We saw a lot of animals close up. Sleeping at campsites was an immersive experience, definitely recommended!
All in all it was worth every penny!! Enjoy!
