Unique and life changing trip definitely above expectations !
From the very start communicating with Edris via email was easy and reliable. He answered promptly and was very professional, a real testament to the quality of the service at Uzuri Uganda Safaris. We received a detailed itinerary of our trip.
We had very little time, only one week, but the tour was diverse and packed with great activities (game drive, chimpanzee trekking and rafting among others) that made it a lot of fun.
Starting in Kampala we stayed 2 days in Jinja and then headed Murchisson Falls for 3 days. Short but definitely worthwhile thanks to Edris' skillful planning. The choice of lodges was great and the food (all included) was absolutely delicious ! We particularly enjoyed Murchisson River Lodge. In short, everything was perfectly organized, comfortable and very safe.
Our guide Vincent was fantastic, always attentive and a lot of fun, he made sure our trip was memorable !
I definitely recommend Uzuri Uganda Safaris. They made our first experience in Uganda amazing... We will be back !

Amazing!
The safari was amazing! The three day trip trough West Tsavo and Amboseli provided diversity, and three days was sufficient. The lineup was good. I would not change anything about the trip we took.

Memorable holiday experience , thanks to Lians travel Africa
We booked our Safari trip to Kenya thru Lians Travels, it was a great experience from the word go and our host Mrs.Lilian had organized every aspect of our trip immaculately.
We visited Tsavo East , Ambrosalli , Lake Nakaru, Masai mara to finally return to Nairobi
She was there at the airport to personally welcome us when we landed in Nairobi. The Lodges that she had selected were wonderful and right inside the game reserves thereby enabling us to enjoy every moment of our holiday inside the reserves seeing the wonderful animals rather than wasting time on the road. The local guide (Ben) arranged by Lilian was extremely friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and knew all the roads, had a sense of where the animals would be at a given time. The open top Land cruiser organized for our holiday well maintained, clean and comfortable
Lilian went beyond our expectations and her duty, personally helping us thru the streets of Nairobi, bargaining for us at the local Masai market and driving us down to the local restaurants (this was not a part of the iteaniry and we were staying on our own for a few extra days after the safari was over)
She was communicative thru out the finalization of itenery , booking of lodges, staying in touch with us every day that we were staying at the game reserves.
She is extremely trustworthy person and I would highly recommend her to my friends in the future.
Thanks to Lians travel & Mrs Lillian for making our holiday a memorable one.

The most amazing ,life-changing experience
I booked a 3 day tour to go see the gorillas. It has been a childhood dream to see them and Frank tours made it more than I expected. Frank went to so much effort to show, teach and share his experiences with me as we travelled. He is an amazing, warm, friendly and professional man! He communicated with me so well. I really enjoyed the individuality and personalized experience that he brings to his tours. He is also so experienced in the field and everyone along the journey knew him well. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Frank for everything! I will be sure to spread the word about your company and highly recommend you. Wishing you every success.

Professional and efficient.
Planning the trip was managed extremely well especially since travel was at a busy time of year and not much notice was given. All communication was by email, responded to promptly and efficiently. Different options were provided along with recommendations based on local experience. Best of all, everything went according to plan and overall result was a stress free trip. I would recommend Discover Africa to my associates and friends.

Incredible Great Bird Watching with Big Five
Since we were interested in birds as well as mammals, our tour guide Danson Karanja who was an excellent commentator taught us about various birds we saw. He knows very well. The most impressed moment was that I could watch the crowned cranes sitting on her eggs!! Danson took us to the point where we can observe the nest of crowned cranes, and spent enough time at the point. We could watch them not only sitting on the eggs but also the parents cranes standing up and fixing the nest with their beaks so we could find eggs below their feet.
If you are planning wildlife observation in Kenya, I would strongly recommend to bring a monocular or binocular. It would make your experience double the pleasure. You can watch birds catching and swallowing lizards or insects clearly which is difficult with the naked eye.
If you are a photographer, don't forget to bring a larger size of memories and reserve battery with you.

Wonderful
I had planned a one day tour of Wasini Island and Marine park by this tour operator. It was great. Everything was well arranged and on time. Mildred was very resourceful and she communicated often; before, during and for feedback after the tour. The understanding and responsiveness was really helpful. In my view, the service and the fun of the tour was beyond my initial expectetions. I am convinced to choose this tour operator again.

I was well taken care of and saw so many animals!
The 'add on' safari is very interesting. You never know how long you will be with the same group. I signed up for the 5 day safari. Days 1 & 2, I was with 6 very nice people. We stayed at an eco camp. Lots of fun (but don't expect a hot shower). Days 3 & 4 was spent with a very fun and diverse group. The hotel was economy...but it wasn't about the accommodations for me, although I loved the place I stayed on the last night. Day 5, I had a private driver! I felt like royalty. He stopped whenever I wanted, took many pictures for me and was very informative.
In all this was an amazing experience. The drivers were all great, taking us over some terrain that I would have a hard time walking/climbing over! They some how spotted animals that were totally camouflaged, easing up to them for breathtaking viewing. One day we saw 12 lion cubs rollicking around together on a large rock. After a while 3 lionesses strolled over and lay down or groomed a cub with no concern for us. I saw all the 'Big 5', even the very elusive Leopard, as well as many, many other animals. At Hells Gate Park there are no predators so I was able to get out of the vehicle and wander in the fields as zebras and giraffes (among others) grazed. What a feeling! Do this!!! You won't regret it.
