Lulu Safaris gave us an unforgettable Uganda trip — and Simon Peter is a brilliant guide!
We have just returned from a 10-day safari through Uganda's major national parks with Lulu Safaris, and the single biggest reason it exceeded our expectations was our guide, Simon Peter.
Simon was outstanding from the moment he met us at Entebbe. He is a genuinely safe and confident driver on some very demanding roads, always calm and never in a hurry, and he knows the parks inside out. His eye for wildlife is remarkable — he found animals we would have driven straight past, and he always positioned the vehicle so we got the best possible view and photograph.
What made the difference, though, was how much he clearly cares about his work. He explained the wildlife, the ecosystems and the local culture with real enthusiasm, answered every question patiently, and was flexible whenever we wanted to change plans or stay a little longer somewhere. He was also excellent company: warm, funny and completely professional throughout.
We would recommend Simon Peter without hesitation to anyone travelling in Uganda, and we hope Lulu Safaris values him as much as we did

a seamless experience end to end
I booked a 4 safari that too a night before the intended date of safari. The team went out of the way and arranged my safari even though it was last minute.
The safari includes serengity, terengere, noringoro crater depending on your package
The camping and the food was upto the mark where the team ensured the tents were setup before we arrived. The food was always on time.
Well the safari wouldn't it be possible without Rasta. His knowledge is vast and he has answers to every question we had. His knowledge shows from his experience, great with story telling and narration. Also his sense ohmf humour, is on point. So glad to have been assigned as our guide for the safari.
As for the overall safari, I've lost count of all the animals. We were lucky to a live hunt in progress, it was beyond my expectations. Loved every bit

Prompt pick up with safe and friendly driver
Tiyani was prompt (even early!) for my early morning hotel pick up for a transfer to Kruger. The vehicle was clean and clearly well maintained and the driving was safe and comfortable. We made a couple of comfort breaks in good locations during the 5 hour drive.
Would recommend.

An amazing experience
My friend and I went on a 12 day safari. We had a lot of fun activities planned and each were more than we expected. We quickly warmed up to our tour guide Brighton who had similar sense of humor. He handled challenging situations very well while being professional. We both highly recommend a walking safari in Lake Mburo and the night drive. Hiking to see the gorillas was definitely challenging but definitely worth it.

Excellent, Reliable, Worth-it
It was just me and my mom. Our 1st time in Africa. From booking with Nelly to end of tour, it went smoothly. Nelly was very accommodating in our customized itinerary. Our route: Jo'burg-Victoria Falls-Jo'burg, Hazyview safari, Cape Town. All our transfers were friendly and give much info for us first timers. Victoria Falls was absolutely breathtaking and our guide Innocent was so enthusiastic in giving us some interesting facts. River Cruise and Dinner & Drums at the Boma were unique experiences.
Drive from Jo'burg to Hazyview was long but we didn't actually feel it to be that long. Emmanuel served also as a tour guide. We were able to make most out of the drive before sundown.
Kruger National Reserve is of course the highlight of our trip. We got to see 5 out of the big five (elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, rhino) and a lucky sighting of wild dogs & hyenas.
Cape Town is worth the visit especially their bays. If we stayed longer in Africa, I would have extended at Cape Town. Faldie was great in letting us know where to go and what to see.
Overall, I wish I could go back to South Africa (even Zimbabwe or Zambia next)

Review on Fancina Africa Tours and Safaris
Our 14-day safari with Fancina Africa Tours and Safaris was an unforgettable experience. The trip was very well organized, and the team took excellent care of us.
We were very blessed to witness so many amazing wildlife moments,like watching elephants crossing road, zebra elegantly walking and eating bushes, spotting cheetahs, lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos and all kinds of birds in their natural habitats, including seeing the spectacular Great migration twice in Masai Mara and Serengeti! Every day brought new adventures and breathtaking scenery.
Our guide Glenn was knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife. He worked hard to find the best animal sightings while sharing interesting information about the animals including all kinds of bird,their behaviors. His experience made our safari even more enjoyable.
The boss Boni is easy to communicate with, he drove us to another city tour upon our request and stopped by grocery store to let us buy some famous local coffee as souvenir.
Johnathan was very nice to pick up from airport and welcome us nicely.
During trip, every meal was covered by the tour , including breakfast , lunch and dinner, we would have a lunch box from hotel or camp while riding the jeep in the wild. We didn’t have to worry about where to buy food at all. We enjoyed food very much more than we expected!
If you are looking for a reliable, professional, and caring safari company, I highly recommend Fancina Africa Tours and Safaris. They exceeded our expectations and created life time memories. Thank you for making our African safari such an incredible adventure!

Excellent and flexible organization with professional guides
We spent two perfectly organized weeks in Madagascar based on our previously given ideas. After a week of truly adventurous safari, we rested our fatigue on beautiful tropical islands. Our guides always looked after us, we felt safe despite the often wild and romantic environment. It was a fantastic adventure with professional help. The price/quality ratio of the accommodations was also appropriate. In short, we really enjoyed it and a thousand thanks to Soul of Madagascar Tours for everything!
