Excellent planning and execution
We are a couple and did the Victoria Falls, Chobe, Elephant Sands and Okavango Delta trip which can only be described as a once in a lifetime experience. The personal service provided to us made it feel seamless, although we appreciate that it must take a huge amount of organisation and work from the whole team at Zambezi Expeditions.
The included activities as well planned, transfers were communicated well and groups were small.All the guides we had were extremely knowledgeable and had an obvious passion for animals and nature.
A special word of thanks to Francis who was our guide and driver during the longer transfers. He went out of his way to accommodate our every wish.
We really appreciated how Zambezi Expiditions was able to personalise our trip and we enjoyed being either alone as a couple or in a small group for the game drives and boat safaris.

Amazing
Very good company. Everything is taken care of and most importantly the guide is great. He made us all feel comfortable right away and is really good at his job. 20 years of experience and it shows. He really knows all the best spots and is very knowledgable about the animals (including birds) and their behaviour. He could answer any question we had. The safari jeep is very comfortable and practical. Overall amazing experience and would recommend this company for sure.

Excellent service, when booking and specially during the safari.
We were two couples of friends , all already retired . For me was the first experience in safaris . From the first moment I felt we were in very professional hands , from the enterprise and specially with our driver Ronnie . I noticed that he was a reliable driver in the chaotic and dangerous way that people drives in Kenia main roads. We had a good comunitation with him , and answered our doubts and questions.
The parks we visited were very interesting , Ronnie demonstrated us that he knows very well the best places and moments for watching the animals . Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and specially Masai Mara will remain in my memory for the rest of my life.
I could enjoy it very much taking photos , my main hobby and main reason for that travel .
Me and my wife and friends were very satisfied with the acommodation places , specially in Praro Amboseli and Mara Simba.
We were also satisfied with the vehicle used , a Toyota all terrain that looked as a new one .
We did more than 1000 km in all these days and our backs ended with no pain nor any problems.
I will recommend your services to anyone interested in safaris .

The most unforgettable safari experience.
I would like to share a truly heartfelt and very positive review of Deluxe Vacations Uganda, who organized an absolutely exceptional journey for us through Uganda.
From the very first contact until the final day of our trip, everything was perfectly arranged — highly professional, yet genuinely warm and personal. A very special thank you goes to our guide, Emanuel. He was incredibly caring, attentive, calm, and extremely knowledgeable. Thanks to him, we felt completely safe at all times and truly looked after — not just guided through a program, but personally cared for.
The wildlife experiences in Uganda were simply unforgettable. The close encounters with animals in their natural habitat were deeply emotional and once-in-a-lifetime moments. Everything was conducted with great respect for nature and for the local communities.
The accommodation was luxurious, comfortable, and beautifully integrated into the surrounding landscape. We traveled in a very comfortable, well-maintained vehicle, and the food throughout the trip was excellent — fresh, delicious, and of high quality.
We were also touched by the kindness of the people, the friendliness of the staff everywhere we went, and the constant warm smiles of the local community, which made the entire experience even more special.
If you are looking for an exceptional, safe, and truly authentic Ugandan adventure at a high standard, I can wholeheartedly recommend Deluxe Vacations Uganda. This journey exceeded all our expectations. 💛
And all of this at a great price 👍

Amazing Tour Guides
African Big Cats Safaris was incredible to work with. Don't hesitate if you're looking to book your trip with them! We used them for our honeymoon trip and had Venance as our guide, and it was an absolutely unforgettable and incredible experience. Venance was so friendly and his knowledge of safaris was so impressive. From the moment we reached out to them, they handled everything for us around bookings, transportation and logistics, and made our trip to various safari parks and to Zanzibar as easy as possible. We highly recommend booking with them!

It was the best ever. The trip provided a great deal of enjoyment and entertainment.
All of the arrangements and schedules were meticulously planned beforehand. Everything was safe. The programs were well-structured. We anticipate that Kisangara will surpass other businesses in the near future.

Uganda Stole Our Hearts — An Unforgettable Journey with Wagatil Safaris.
Our experience with Wagatil Safaris in Uganda was simply exceptional — 5/5 stars, and honestly, we wish we could give more.
From the very beginning, the communication was clear, responsive, and professional. Planning a 13-day trip to a country we had never visited could have felt complicated, but the team made everything straightforward and stress-free. Questions were answered quickly, expectations were set clearly, and the itinerary was well organized from start to finish.
We traveled as a family (my wife, 54; my daughter, 19; and me), and by the time we left Uganda, it genuinely felt like we were saying goodbye to friends we had known for years. Uganda has a way of getting under your skin in the best possible way.
For anyone who loves wildlife and nature, this experience is beyond words. I’ve never enjoyed zoos — seeing animals in captivity has never felt right to me — so witnessing these incredible creatures in their natural habitat was priceless. Nothing compares to standing close enough to a silverback gorilla to hear it breathing, walking near rhinoceroses, or watching vultures circle and finish a carcass. These moments stay with you.
The highlight of the trip, without question, was our guide, Martin. He is deeply knowledgeable and enriched every day with stories and insights about the animals and the land — from lion behavior to migration patterns and local ecosystems. He seems to know everyone (and their cousins) across Uganda, which made a real difference when it came to knowing where to go, what was happening, and where we had the best chances to spot wildlife. His reliability and calm presence made us feel safe and well taken care of at all times.
Partway through the trip, I had a personal matter back home and needed to leave early. Martin handled everything quickly and calmly, coordinating my return to the airport without stress. That level of service and reliability is rare. After spending 10 days traveling with him, I felt completely comfortable leaving my wife to continue the rest of the journey with Wagatil Safaris and Martin — that says a lot about the trust he builds.
The tour itself was incredibly well designed. The pacing, variety of parks, wildlife encounters, and cultural experiences all felt thoughtfully planned. Every day brought something new — from gorillas and lions to river safaris, villages, and breathtaking landscapes.
In terms of value for money, this trip exceeded expectations. The logistics, guiding, accommodations, and overall experience delivered far more than we anticipated. The accommodations were consistently excellent, and the staff at every lodge and hotel were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. There is something very special about the people of Uganda.
I usually plan and manage my own travel and rarely book guided tours, but Uganda is different. Navigating the parks, distances, and wildlife opportunities would have been far more difficult on our own. Having a knowledgeable, reliable guide made everything seamless and allowed us to focus fully on the experience.
This was not just a trip — it was an experience that will stay with our family forever. I wholeheartedly recommend Wagatil Safaris and Martin to anyone considering Uganda.

Amazing tour, amazing people!
Mr Issa is a very reliable person! From the beginning he helped me by answering every question I had. The accommodations were all excellent, the food was delicious and our guide David was very experienced. You should all definitely try it.
