Meaningful Private Safari with Wildlife, Culture, and Community Impact
I joined an 8-day private safari from Uganda to Rwanda as a solo traveler, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Having a dedicated guide throughout the trip made everything smooth and stress-free. His English was clear and easy to understand, and his explanations about wildlife, nature, and local culture were always thoughtful and informative.
The itinerary was very well balanced. I enjoyed game drives, a walking safari in Lake Mburo, chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge, and a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel, all of which offered different perspectives on Uganda’s wildlife. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi was the highlight of the trip — seeing mountain gorillas up close in their natural habitat was truly unforgettable.
What made this tour special was that it went beyond wildlife. Cultural experiences with the Batwa people and visits to local communities around Lake Bunyonyi gave me a deeper understanding of how people live in harmony with nature. These moments felt genuine and respectful, not staged.
The lodges and hotels were comfortable, food was consistently good, and long driving days were broken up with scenic stops and local market visits, which made the journey enjoyable.
The tour is operated by **Amatsiko Tours**, an NGO that runs a school for children from disadvantaged communities. Knowing that the tour proceeds support education and community projects made the experience even more meaningful.
I would highly recommend this tour to travelers who are looking for more than just wildlife sightings, and who value responsible tourism and cultural connection.

Perfect safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro
Our group of six friends had an outstanding safari experience organized by FIF Tours. From the very first inquiry, consultant Sofia designed a customized itinerary that perfectly matched our preferences and needs, including seamless arrangements to and from Zanzibar. Every detail was handled with great professionalism and care.
Our guide and driver, Andrew, exceeded all expectations. He was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife in the national parks, patient, and always in good spirits. The safari vehicle was exceptionally well-equipped with comfortable seating, charging ports at every seat, a refrigerator, and a selection of snacks, making every journey enjoyable and relaxing.
We were fortunate to see the Big Five along with all the animals on our bucket list, and many more. Both the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater offered spectacular and unique experiences that we will never forget.
The accommodations at Narudi Tented Camp and Eileen’s Trees Inn were excellent, providing top-quality service, facilities, and dining options.
In summary, FIF Tours delivered a truly exceptional safari experience from start to finish. We wholeheartedly recommend the company, and especially our remarkable guide, Andrew, to anyone seeking a professional and unforgettable safari adventure in Tanzania.

Amazing
Stephen is the best driver we could have chosen. He knows very well how to find animals and is very polite and kind. He has a good car with plenty of space to comfortably fit many people, and he speaks Spanish and English very well. I highly recommend him.

Outstanding!
Unforgettable 4-Day Fly-In Safari with Wakanda Tours
We did a 4-day fly-in safari from Zanzibar, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish!
From the very beginning, the Wakanda team was always in close contact with us, extremely supportive, and perfectly organized. We felt well taken care of at every moment.
Our guide Zepha was absolutely outstanding — super friendly, highly professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained so much about the animals, their behavior, and the ecosystem, and he was able to answer every single question we had. A truly top-level guide. On top of that, he fulfilled all our wishes — and more.
Thanks to Zepha, we saw everything we hoped for and beyond:
• We collected all of the Big Five
• We even spotted the rare and endangered Black Rhinos
• A beautiful leopard
• Countless antelope species, including kudu and eland
• Lion cubs
• And an unforgettable sighting of a cheetah mother with her three cubs
In Ndutu, Zepha took us to special locations that other guides clearly did not know. At times, we were the only jeep there, witnessing the Great Migration up close — an absolutely breathtaking and deeply moving experience.
In the Ngorongoro Crater, we captured incredible photos thanks to Zepha’s professionalism. He always positioned the jeep at the perfect angle, ensuring the best views and lighting for wildlife observation and photography. His driving was precise, and perfectly timed.
In Tarangire National Park, we encountered dozens of elephants, often so close that you could almost touch them — of course, without ever disturbing them. Seeing these gentle giants at such close range was simply magical and one of the highlights of the entire safari.
All three locations — Ndutu, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire — were absolutely spectacular. Thanks to our exceptional guide Zepha, we enjoyed amazing game drives, saw an extraordinary number of animals, and captured photos and memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Wakanda Safari — and especially Zepha — to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience!

Great experience. Lydia and team were hugely helpful throughout!
My 4-day tour was all I could’ve hoped for. The safari experiences in all three parks were filled with animals and amazing views. On top of the tour experience, Lydia and team handle airport and hotel pick up/drop off and any other question/concern you might have. Great experience all around!

Faultless
It was a pleasure to use Safari.com. How much of that was due to agent Shann is hard to say, but she was brilliant. There was nothing too much for her despite our many questions - she seemed to be online on a 24 hour basis. If we were going on a safari again, we would definitely choose this company. Thank you for reducing the inevitable stress of such a complicated itinerary.

Trustful safari experience, with great guide and planning
This safari was a wonderful experience. Our guide Charles was exceptionally great. He had a lot of experience and managed to show us all of the Big 5 and many more animals without ever rushing or being stressed at all. The tour was organized closely to our wishes and also spontaneous alterations could be made if we wanted to go on game drive a bit earlier or later, have lunch instead of picnic etc. Overall we can definitely recommend Josero Tours as the communication, payment etc were very professional and we felt safe and looked after at all times. If you book with them, ask if Charles is available. We couldn’t think of a better tour guide then him.

Amazing Experience
Edna helped us to have an amazing experience even though we came to them on very short notice. We had a 3 days fly-in safari with private game drives and stayed at one of the best locations from Masai Mara. We visited Mara Triangle and The Great Mara, where we’ve seen incredible wildlife.
