The first and best safari in my life
David Mnyama was simply the best guide we could have asked for! In just two days, he showed us every single animal we hoped to see, including the incredible wildebeest river crossing. He was warm, funny, attentive, and drove like a pro even on the roughest roads. We felt so lucky to have him — 100% recommend!

Amazing trip with amazing guides!
Our Kenya/Tanzania Safari with Wild Portraits Safaris was an incredible experience. Their deep knowledge of animal behaviors and their environments allowed us to see and learn more than we expected. For example, we saw a number of leopards, multiple lions, a cheetah relaxing in the sun, and more elephants, zebras, and giraffes than we could count. (As well as the rare serval cat!!) Black rhinos and white, hippos, Cape buffalo, warthogs, crocodiles, and so much more! Especially awe-inspiring was the river crossing of the wildebeest.
The guides also readily indulged our love of birds! (Thank you)
We appreciated their humor and flexibility; they stopped whenever we requested, whether it was for a special photo, an “I think I spotted something” moment, or bathroom breaks (many tires were checked!).
Their concern for our wellbeing and satisfaction was evident.
We will never forget this trip and will remember James, Ben, Sam, and Zab fondly.

A Dream come true
We did a 7-day safari with chimpanzee and gorilla trekking with Dav Safaris, and the entire week was an absolute dream.
We stayed in beautiful lodges, enjoyed great food, and, above all, had unforgettable encounters with an incredible variety of wildlife: rhinos at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary; lions, elephants, hyenas, hippos, and crocodiles in Murchison Falls National Park; leopards, tree-climbing lions, and huge herds of elephants in Queen Elizabeth National Park; chimpanzees in Kalinzu Forest; and, of course, the unforgettable mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. These are experiences that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.
All of this was made even more special by Solomon, the best guide we could have wished for. He is incredibly knowledgeable—not only about the wildlife but also about Uganda's culture, history, and people. He was always happy to answer our questions, was wonderful to talk to, and is an exceptionally safe driver, so we felt completely safe throughout the entire trip.
All in all, this was truly a 12/10 experience, and we couldn't recommend it more highly to anyone considering a safari in Uganda.

Careful, vigilant and super amazing!
We had a wonderful three days at the Masai Maara. The things you see there are nothing short of magic. I would also like to dedicate a special thank you to our guide Brian Ondigo. He was well informed and told us all the fun facts of animal behavior in the region. He also super vigilant at all times and made sure we saw the most spectacular sights. 11/10 experience overall!! If you’re touring with Jockey Tours, make sure to ask for Brian!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our safari with Face of Africa Adventures was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of our expectations! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, making the entire experience stress-free and unforgettable.
The food was excellent—fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared every day. The organization was flawless, and the entire team was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional.
A very special thank you goes to our safari guide, Lasselo, who was simply the best! His knowledge, experience, and incredible ability to spot wildlife made our safari truly exceptional. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see not only the Big Five but also the Ugly Five, which made the experience even more special.
Every moment of this safari was worth it, and we couldn’t have asked for a better adventure. We highly recommend Face of Africa Adventures to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience. Thank you for creating memories that will stay with us forever!

Perfect
We spent a truly unforgettable 10-day trip to Kenya organized by Kilinyota Safaris: 6 days of safari and 4 days of relaxation by the sea, and everything was perfectly organized.
The safari was an extraordinary experience. We managed to see all the animals we hoped to see, thanks in part to the skill of our guide, who was always extremely kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. We trusted him completely throughout the safari, and he accompanied us with great professionalism, providing us with truly emotional moments.
The accommodations we booked also exceeded our expectations: all very beautiful, well-kept, and comfortable. One, in particular, was truly unique because the animals were present right there, making the experience even more special. Furthermore, all the staff we met during the trip were extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive to our every need.
We spent the last four days at Diani Beach, a true paradise. The sea is spectacular; even though it's an ocean, it has incredible colors. The resort also proved to be an excellent choice, allowing us to completely relax after the safari. We also took an excursion during which we were lucky enough to see dolphins, a thrill that made the trip even more memorable.
It was an experience we will always cherish. Impeccable organization, stunning locations, and fantastic people made this vacation simply perfect. We recommend this trip to anyone who dreams of experiencing the magic of Kenya!

Excellent Safari Experience from Start to Finish
Our experience with Hyrax Safaris was excellent from beginning to end. Everything was well organized, communication was clear throughout, and they were always willing to accommodate our requests whenever possible. Irene, our main point of contact, was responsive, professional, and made the planning process effortless. Our guide, Tony, had exceptional tracking skills and consistently found wildlife that many others would have missed. We had a fantastic safari and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hyrax Safaris to anyone visiting Kenya.

James and Peter are the best tour guides: experienced, patient, friendly, and accommodating.
My family and I recently completed an unforgettable 8-day African safari with Marurumi Safaris, and it truly became the best family vacation we have ever had. From the very beginning, we felt listened to and cared for. Communication was clear, prompt, and professional, and the team took the time to understand what mattered most to us. They created an absolutely PERFECT safari experience, with every detail thoughtfully arranged, including transportation, park fees, delicious food, incredible lodging, and, most importantly, experienced guides who made us feel safe, welcomed, and completely immersed in the adventure. All we had to do was show up, relax, and take it all in. Any small issues that came up were handled quickly and with kindness. It was worth every penny! We genuinely had no complaints.
We had the pleasure of having James, the company owner, as our safari guide for the first couple of days. His personality, warmth, and funny stories made those first days so memorable. Peter then took over, and he was so friendly, patient, and accommodating that he truly became part of our family. Because of Peter’s patience and knowledge in animal behavior, we experienced the highlight of the entire trip: being just feet away from two lions actually mating! Both James and Peter had an incredible gift for getting us close to the action, even among a swarm of other safari vehicles, while still making the experience feel personal and unrushed. The things we saw and experienced were extraordinary, and it was obvious how much care, knowledge, and passion they bring to what they do.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Marurumi Safari to anyone dreaming of a meaningful adventure. They gave our family more than a vacation—they gave us memories, stories, and moments we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
