Two wonderful safaris
We arranged 2 trips with Bamboo. The first started with a flight on 12 seat Cessna from Kampala to Kasese, which I loved. I met my guide John Bosco at the airport and he took me on a game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park where we saw elephants. buffalo, hippos, hyenas and wart hogs. Then lunch, then the Kazinga Channel Boat Trip with crocodiles, hippos., lizards and wonderful birds. The highlight was seeing a family of 12 elephants come down to the water to drink. Then another game drive, where we saw a lion about 10 feet away.
The second day was a trek with the chimpanzees at Kalinzu Forest Reserve. I spent an hour watching a chimp family about 20 yards away, plus some Colobus monkeys.
The third day was the gorilla trek in Bwindi National Park. I spent an hour very close to a group of 7 gorillas, including 2 lively youngsters. One of the youngsters ran up to me and rested his head om my knee, which was a magical moment. The fourth day was a safe & enjoyable flight back to Kampala.
The second trip was for my wife and I to Murchison Falls. John met us at our hotel & Kampala & we drove to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary & stood close to 6 rhinos. We crossed the Nile the nsaw lots of wildlife, including giraffes and elephants.
Next morning we set off early for a game drive, which was marvelous. We saw a lone lioness who chased after a gazelle, then a group of four, and many other animals. After lunch we had a boat trip on the Nile towards the falls, with plentiful wildlife especially crocodiles.
The third day started with a trip to the top of the falls, which were spectacular: as dramatic is Niagara falls. Then the drive back to Kampala.
All the hotels and meals worked very well for us. John was a very helpful and informative guide, and a very good driver.

Very smooth safari experience from planning to the last day
We booked a 7 days / 6 nights safari in Whistling and had an amazing experience.
They have Chinese-speaking customer service, and the planning process was super smooth. The team was very responsive and customized a great-value itinerary based on our needs. The whole safari was truly eye-opening.
Huge shout-out to our guide Albert—friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and extremely professional. He knows the parks, roads, and wildlife inside out, always arrived early, and kept the vehicle spotless. Every day there were cold drinks, bottled water, and snacks waiting for us.
The food and accommodations were excellent, and customer service checked in with us daily.
Special thanks to Alex for helping us track our delayed luggage and arranging (for free!) a small flight to deliver it to us in the Serengeti. That really saved our trip.
Big thanks to the whole team for making this safari so smooth and memorable.
Highly recommended!🌍🦁

Amazing experience
My family and I travelled through Uganda and Rwanda in January 2026 and cannot speak more highly of our experience and our wonderful guide Andrew. He made all parts of our Safari effortless and was more than accommodating when there were specific things we wanted to do.
He explained what the plan for each day was and then ensured that we were well looked after at each location. He made suggestions beyond the itinerary which were always well received and made our trip unforgettable. He gave us insight into the Ugandan culture and was always friendly and smiling.
We would highly recommend Andrew as a guide and would encourage anyone considering booking with Vibrant to specifically request him.

Deo as brilliant. Knowledgable and friendly. Explained local customs. 5/5.
We had an absolutely brilliant safari experience with Serengeti Silence from start to finish.
Our tour operator Deo was exceptional — knowledgeable, professional, calm, and clearly very experienced. He made the entire safari smooth and unforgettable, always ensuring we were comfortable and well looked after while sharing incredible insight into the wildlife and the Serengeti itself.
A special thank you as well to Diane at reception, who liaised closely with my wife throughout the booking process. Communication was excellent, clear, and reassuring from day one, which made planning the trip completely stress-free.
Everything was well organised, punctual, and exceeded our expectations. The experience itself was unforgettable and something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.
We would 100% recommend Serengeti Silence to anyone considering a safari — truly professional, trustworthy, and passionate about what they do.

Deo: knowledgable and very easy to get on with
We did 3 days of Safari with our package - two full days and two half days. We explored Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro and Southern Serengeti. From the moment we contacted Serengeti Silence they were extremely helpful - answering promptly and honestly any questions we had. They were so helpful in helping us plan our overall trip and accommodating to our travel times. I found the cost of the safari to be similar to others if not slightly better for what we got. They are very active in helping you plan your safari for your budget.
Once we arrived in Tanzania our guide Deo was ready for us. Deo was extremely friendly and considerate. He was always very forthcoming with information about all the animals, plants and life in the safari in general. We never felt uncomfortable at any point. It has been an incredible trip and one we won’t forget. I definitely recommend Serengeti Silence and Deo as your guide!

VisitCreation was very professional, friendly and always responded to questions right away.
I think what I paid was a good deal. There are so many options on safaris (how many days, private or shared, accommodations, etc.), but in the end I think this operator had the right mix for me. I stayed in nice tented camps and a nice lodge. The animals were abundant and I got to see the Big 5 and the Ugly 5!
Would I recommend them? Yes. I would book through them if I went again.
Nerine was excellent to wok with-very responsive!00
Our experience of all aspects was great. Communiations were excellent. And the safari experience at Phinda exceeded expectations on all levels.

Amazing driver—kind, funny, skilled, and always focused on giving you the best experience.
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Shem. From start to finish, he was amazing—kind, funny, incredibly skilled, and always focused on making sure we were getting the best possible experience and true value for our money.
The landscapes were breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to see a huge variety of wildlife. Shem’s knowledge truly elevated the experience: he shared fascinating information about the different species we encountered, as well as insights into the geography, history, culture, and fun facts about the places we traveled through.
We always felt safe, well accompanied, and taken care of. We never lacked water or food, and Shem was always happy to accommodate stops whenever we wanted to take photos or simply enjoy the scenery. His driving was excellent, and his calm, positive attitude made every day enjoyable.
Shem genuinely cares about his guests and goes above and beyond to ensure you have an incredible experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable, well-organized, and enriching tour.

Perfect Honeymoon
We had an unforgettable honeymoon thanks to Morning Star. Willy was our guide, and everything went smoothly and exactly as planned. The selection of hotels and parks was exactly what we had hoped for, and Willy was always incredibly attentive and genuinely concerned about our well-being throughout the trip.
We were also very lucky during all our safaris, as we managed to see a wide and impressive variety of wild animals.
Without a doubt, we would choose to organise another trip with them again. Thanks also to Alice for organizing all! Highly recommended!
