Very good organized tour
The tour is well organized. Safari jeep was comfortable, the driver & guide Twist is very professional and knowledgeable person (thanks to him we managed to observe the lions!). Small coffee break before game drive start was surprisingly good. Finally during the game drive we manage to see 4 animals from big 5. The lunch was good and well arranged (although a lot of people simultaneously had). Reg Boat drive - I expected small boat but realistically this was big one, therefore was not so maneuverable (not possible to closely see the animals). Also boat tour lasted just 2h (I though this should be longer).

My journey unveiled the breathtaking beauty that Uganda so effortlessly offers
My friends and I just came back from a wonderful 5-day primates-focused safari, with a bit of wildlife viewing in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
We were a bit budget-conscious, so we chose to travel in April (low season), which worked out really well for us. Communication with the team was smooth throughout, and they helped tweak our original plan in a way that actually made it better than we had first imagined.
Initially, most operators had suggested chimpanzee tracking in Kibale National Park, but Jovan recommended the Kyambura Gorge sector in Queen Elizabeth National Park as a more budget-friendly option. We were a bit unsure at first, wondering if we’d still have a good chance of seeing chimpanzees, but it turned out to be a great decision. Plus, since one of us hadn’t experienced a wildlife safari before, including Queen Elizabeth made the trip even more special.
The highlight, of course, was the gorilla trekking, being just meters away from a silverback was something we’ll never forget.
Our stay at the lodges, especially Tabingi Safari Lodge and Rushaga Gorilla Lodge, was very comfortable. The food was great, and the staff were warm and attentive throughout.
Our guide, Brian, was professional, kind, and very knowledgeable, especially when it came to animal behavior, which added a lot to the experience.
I would highly recommend Renai Safaris to anyone planning a primates safari in Uganda.

Excellent and Professional Gorilla Trekking Experience
We had an excellent experience with Umurage Eco Safaris for our gorilla trekking tour in Rwanda. Communication before the trip was clear and helpful, and the team made sure we had all the information we needed in advance.
On the day of the tour, they picked us up on time and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. The service was reliable, friendly, and well organized, which made the whole day feel smooth and stress-free. Our driver was professional and made the journey comfortable.
The gorilla trekking experience itself was truly unforgettable. Seeing the gorillas in their natural environment was a special moment, and the tour was worth every bit of the cost. I felt the service, organization, and overall experience offered great value for money.
I highly recommend Umurage Eco Safaris to anyone planning a gorilla trekking trip in Rwanda.

Amazing experience with All Wheels Experience!
Our friends' tour with All Wheels Experience was absolutely fantastic! Edward Elias was an exceptional guide, making the 4-day Tarangire, 6-day Ngorongoro, and 5-day Serengeti safaris unforgettable. The parks were breathtaking, and the food throughout the trip was delicious and satisfying. We loved every moment exploring these amazing parks together. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an adventure of a lifetime!

Professional, responsive, flexible
Safari 2 Gorilla Tours (S2GT) organized the Gorilla Habituation trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Uganda) for me, including itinerary, transportation (from/to Kigali), Forest permit and accommodation. Aron of S2GT was my point of contact to discuss itinerary, cost, payment timing and linking me to my transportation driver (Dan). Aron provided clear information and instructions, replied promptly to my queries and worked with me on payment timing due to uncertain circumstances (worldwide oil disruption). Aron followed my trip, in the background, from start to finish. S2GT’s pricing was also the most affordable of three companies I contacted.
Dan, my driver, was fantastic - professional, safe, knowledgeable, client-focused and an interesting conversationalist.
The Gorilla Habitation trek was all and more than I had expected; simply beautiful, humbling, raw and adventurous. The Forest Rangers from the Uganda Wildlife Authority — Chris (lead), Gideon & Chris — and the trackers (Michael, Meti & Silver) were professional, protective, skillful and client-focused.
The accommodations (~35 minutes from the trek entrance) — Lake Mulehe Gorilla Lodge — was in a serene setting overlooking a lake with a volcano in the background. The staff were professional, courteous and client-focused. The grounds were simple, pleasant. The rooms were clean, simple, comfortable.
All in all, Safari 2 Gorilla Tours did all they could to ensure my trip was smooth and memorable. Truly an amazing experience.
Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Safari 2 Gorilla Tours for your East Africa experience.

Martin was a perfect tour guide, providing energy, insight, and warmth.
My wife and I had a layover in Johannesburg, just long enough for a 3-4 hour tour of the city and Soweto. Marvin showed us the sights, gave us the history, and made sure we were safe and comfortable. He is very knowledgeable and has a client service attitude. He also knew people everywhere we went, reflecting how friendly he is. The information he shared went well beyond the superficialities you could get in a guide book. Marvin was also careful to get us back to the airport on time. We could not have been more happy with his service and will book a tour with him next time we’re in Joberg.

Rachael's Flawless Planning；Masila's Extraordinary Heart.；The Safari of a Lifetime.
My wife and I just got back from the 8-day Kenya safari (May 2–9, 2026) with Splendid Vacations, and honestly, it was all made possible by two people: Rachael and our guide Alex Masila.
Rachael handled all the planning from the start. She replied to every message quickly, really listened to what we wanted, and put together an itinerary that just worked — Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli. Every transfer, every lodge, every park fee, every meal, all of it went smoothly. It felt like she genuinely cared, and that made a huge difference even before we arrived.
Then there is Masila. He is simply the best guide we have ever had. He knows so much about the animals and the parks, and he has this amazing ability to find wildlife and get us right up close without ever feeling intrusive. We saw things we never thought we would see.
But what really touched us happened in the middle of the trip, when my wife got very sick late at night. I called Masila, and without any fuss, he arranged everything — took us to a doctor in the early hours, stayed with us the whole time, helped translate, and kept reassuring us until we knew she was okay. After that, he quietly adjusted the pace over the next couple of days so my wife could rest properly. He never made us feel like a burden. He just took care of us like we were his own family. We will be grateful forever.
On top of all that, Masila is just a joy to be around. He told us stories about growing up on a fruit farm, and how he dreams of going back to the orchards one day. You can see how much he loves nature — his face would light up every time we spotted an animal. He was patient, kind, funny, and completely genuine.
The trip itself was incredible. The Masai Mara gave us lions, cheetahs leopards, and endless plains full of wildebeest. Lake Nakuru was full of rhinos and flamingos. Lake Naivasha was peaceful — we did the boat ride and walked on Crescent Island surrounded by giraffes and zebras. And then Amboseli — watching big herds of elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, it almost doesn't feel real. The lodges were all comfortable and well chosen (Mara Serena, Lake Nakuru Sopa, Lake Naivasha Sopa, Kibo Camp), and the Land Cruiser handled every rough track perfectly.
Everything ran so smoothly, and that really comes down to Rachael's planning and Masila's deep knowledge of every place we visited.
If you book with Splendid Vacations, just ask for Masila. You'll get an incredible guide and a real friend.

Whole trip was like a dream.
The 4 day trip was very enjoyable. Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro have all seen a lot of wildlife. Do not forget to open the roof of the car and watch the animals from a close distance. Accommodations were clean and comfortable. The guide explained everything. The flight back to Zanzibar was also convenient. Great adventure!
