Exceptionally knowledgeable
I recently traveled to Uganda and Rwanda for the second time this year with Gorilla Pathfinders, and once again, they provided an exceptional experience. I enjoyed my first trip so much that I knew I wanted to return to explore more of the region and experience even more of what these incredible countries have to offer.
This trip was especially memorable thanks to my wonderful guide, Eddie, who helped me experience more of the local side of Uganda while also visiting some amazing destinations, including Volcanoes National Park, Lake Mburo National Park, and Mabamba Swamp.
Gorilla Pathfinders made the entire experience enjoyable, comfortable, and memorable. I truly appreciated the opportunity to see Uganda and Rwanda from a more local perspective, and I would happily travel with them again. Highly recommended!

Ibrahim made our safari an unforgettable experience
We organized our 2-night safari in Nyerere National Park with Ibrahim, owner of Mtila Safaris, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience.
From the beginning, Ibrahim was very helpful, friendly and always available to answer our questions. Everything was well organized and we felt well taken care of throughout the whole safari.
The jeep was very comfortable, with Wi-Fi, USB/electric charging points and plenty of water, which made the long game drives much more enjoyable. The lodge was also lovely and very comfortable, located right on the river, with a beautiful and peaceful setting.
The game drives and boat safari were both amazing and gave us some unforgettable memories. Thank you so much, Ibrahim, for helping make our Tanzania trip so special. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Efficient, courteous, responsive and very helpful
We enjoyed our 10 day trip arranged by Shanjoy, the guides were great and the choice of lodging was well suited for our budget. The staff was great to work with, accommodating of all requests and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend the company to anyone looking to book a safari tour.

Stellar service.
We needed a brief holiday at short notice. Peaks and Safaris went over and beyond in their delivery.

Flawless Planning for a Complex Group Trip
Planning a safari for a large group comes with plenty of complexity, yet every detail of the trip was handled with precision. From balancing diverse preferences to navigating a custom itinerary, every request was met with warmth and professionalism. The effort put into crafting this journey turned a group vacation into a truly extraordinary and special occasion. Highly recommended!

Excellent service that was beyond our expectations.
My partner, Lesley and I arrived in Maun hoping that somehow we would be able to book a safari experience in the Okavango Delta at the last minute, ie the next day. Given that the camps are often booked up a year in advance we were prepared to be disappointed.
We were fortunate to be introduced to Sethunya, the owner of Outer Limits Travel and Tours. Sethunya was able to find accomodation and flights at Vimbura Plains departing the next morning. We consider Sethunya a Wonder Woman. Her service was just so good. Her knowledge of the product is first class. She even saw us onto the plane the next morning and was there to great us on our return. We cannot speak highly enough of her and look forward to arranging future safaris with her,, at a more leisurely pace next time.

Excellent from start to finish
We did an eight-day safari which Greg tailored to our schedule. Our guide Prayer was very knowledgeable and gave us all the time we needed to stop when we found something interesting. He was personable, patient, and had a good sense of humour. He was an excellent driver, went out of his way to ensure our safety and comfort, and to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible. Each day went smoothly and the accommodation at the end of the day was very clean and comfortable. We also did the hot air balloon safari as an add-on, which was expensive, but in my opinion well worth it. Communication with Greg was fantastic from beginning to end. He responded to messages almost immediately, and booking this safari from Australia was very straightforward. Greg Adventures was recommended to me by a well-travelled friend, and I would not hesitate in recommending this safari company to anyone considering travelling to Tanzania

A very flexible tour company with great service
Endless Summer organized a 4 night tour for the two of us to the Drakensberg from Durban. The tour was based around day walks in the Drakensberg. Rhys, the main contact at Endless Summer, was very helpful in organizing an itinerary for us, and making sure that the itinerary would work for us in terms of fitness and timing. The accommodation at Didima and Thendele camps was good and had lovely views of the Drakensberg. The tour included all meals, except one dinner which was at a restaurant near Thendele camp. Our guide, Wade, was great company and very flexible in offering options to accommodate changes in weather and decisions about fitness. We had one wet day and Wade took us to the adjacent Golden Gate National Park which was very scenic. I'd recommend Endless Summer to anyone interested in this kind of tour.

Wild Sage Africa for the ultimate Rwandan Adventure
Our trip to Rwanda with Wild Sage Africa was truly a trip of a lifetime. Thoughtfully planned and organized by Alicia, attention was paid to every detail. Our adventure began with a stay at Ruzizzi Tented Lodge in the southern part of Akagera National Park listening to hippos, followed by a stay in Karenge Bush Camp in the northern area.
Our guide, Isaac, was professional, extremely knowledgeable, patient and lots of fun. Memories of the wild beauty of Akagera on our early morning game drives with Isaac will stay with me forever - encountering rhinos still sleeping on the road or a pride of lions out on an early morning hunt or wart hogs playing by the vehicle.
After Akagera we headed to Samboro Lodge at Volcanoes National Park for a gorilla and golden monkey trek. A truly remarkable wildlife experience with exceptional accommodation and service.
Heading to the Nyungwe Rainforest for our chimpanzee trek we were taken in by the incredibly beautiful mountainous and terraced terrain, cultivated with tea, coffee and bananas.
Our trip ended in Kigali with a visit to the very moving Kigali Genocide Memorial and a shopping trip to a women’s cooperative.
For a meaningful and authentic experience in Rwanda I would highly recommend you choose Wild Sage as your tour operator. Thank you, Isaac and Alicia
