Wonderful Tanzania Safari
Thank you Solo, Rachel, Lilian and all the Sohar team for organizing a wonderful safari for our family.
We discovered a new country, met wonderful people (Hanzabe and Datoga) and Solo was an exceptional guide, very skillful and knowledgeable and kind.
It was an amazing experience, truly breathtaking. Everyone is so kind and the atmosphere is very pleasant. We spent one of the best moments of our life with Zohar African Safaris.
We are so happy and greatful for this experience in Tanzania .
And you have all made it special.
Very special.
Asante Sana!!

Our excellent experience with top Tour guide Abiy
Abiy picked us up in the hotel in Lalibela and showed and explained us some of the most impressive Rock Hewn Churches. His knowledge of history was great.
As other highlights I want to point out Axum, the capital of the ancient empire of the Queen of Saba and of course the National Museum in Addis Abeba showing the story of mankind starting with Lucy!

Excellently planned and executed to fit your individual preferences
From the start I was very impressed by how responsive and efficient Frank the owner of Golden Rwanda Safaris was in engaging and replying all my queries via email after I had submitted my enquiry via safaribookings.com. His responses were reassuring and the most thorough amongst all the other agencies that had responded following my general enquiry on the website. He was able to make the proper suggestions and cater to my need to focus on history as well as nature and animals when coming up with my itinerary and was very accomodating to make inclusions according to my preferences. I left the accommodation selection up to his recommendation and I was not disappointed. It was a good mix of varying types of accomodations from high end hotels and resorts to rustic lodges in the forest, by lake Ihema and the Karenge bush tent lodge overlooking the expansive plains of Akagera National park. All the accomodations were very comfortable and beautiful with friendly and helpful staff and excellent service.
My guide and driver Dady was an absolute gem. He was very knowledgeable, reliable and knew the best way to plan the day and the sequence in which activities of the day could best be done. He was essential at making sure that this was a memorable first, but definitely not the last, time I visit Africa. He was able to advise me on what to expect for the different activities and what were the key essential things to learn from each place visited. He did an excellent job at driving long distances safely with appropriate breaks and was very good at spotting wild life and explaining interesting and important facts about the animals during the Akagera Safari Drives. Dady was able to explain about the history of Rwanda and other activities of daily life and the Rwandan Culture which was interesting and good for discussion.
I was also very glad that we could add the night drive at Karenge Lodge at the last minute because it was a truly different experience, and it was great to observe the difference in the behaviours of the animals during the day and night. Gorilla Trekking as a highlight was truly magical and so were the other treks from Chimpanzees in Nyungwe national park, Colobus and golden monkey trekking and the Dian Fossey Memorial trek. It was great to see that these conservation efforts were also able to support the local community and in turn encourage them to care for and protect the animals around them.
The itinerary was well planned and I did appreciate the 2 nights of rest and relaxation on opposite shores of Lake Kivu as well as the boat ride across it. This was before the slightly more intensive treks at Volcanoes National Park so I was well rested and ready to fully immerse myself in the experiences at Volcanoes national park. I did request to see the UNESCO heritage genocide memorials and I appreciated the 4 different ones that I managed to visit that were close to each of the key regions we were headed to over this 13 day trip. Each were well curated and unique in their own way and all had powerful messages to share.
Rwanda and Golden Rwanda Safaris has definitely made this a superb bucket list travel destination for me. Thank you Frank and team!

Amazing Staff, can’t wait to use them again.
Can’t speak highly enough about Safari Soles, as they planned an amazing trip of a Lifetime for or family of four. From the transportation, to the activities, to The migration camps, we enjoyed everything. All of the food was delicious, the service impeccable, and the people of Tanzania are so special. The staff of Safari Soles took care of everything. Staring with Douglas in the office who would answer all of our many questions, sometimes at crazy hours with the time difference. Then we met Eric, our driver to and from Nairobi to Arusha, who is friendly and knowledgeable. And lastly, the best Safari guide ever is Innocent. He knew so much about the animals, he always placed the jeep in the best location for viewing and photography. We will never forget this trip and thank Safari Soles for a job well done..

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.

Professional, knowledgeable and attentive
We traveled with Pamoja Tours recently, and we could not be happier with our 7 days Uganda trip. They were incredibly helpful from the very beginning (very patient answering all of my questions and even changing itinerary details when necessary). Regina, at the office, made excellent recommendations that allowed us to tailor our tour to exactly our taste and needs. We had last minute flight changes and she was able to re-arrange things with no problem. Allan, our driver during the trip, was equally professional and very knowledgeable. And what a trip it was!! Excellent hotels chosen to our specification, great activities that allowed us to do exactly what we wanted (even visiting a school), and the beauty of Uganda that is unparalleled. We had great experiences with chimpanzees and gorillas. Completely unforgettable. Thank you so very much, Pamoja Tours, four our amazing trip. Uganda is really the pearl of Africa, and you were GREAT.
