Professional, knowledgable, and flexible tour operator who will help you plan your dream trip!
Brilliant Adventures and Safaris lived up to their name by helping my wife and I an amazing safari trip in September 2026. Lightness (Sales Manager at Brilliant) helped us look at all sorts of different options to suit the length of trip, budget and key things we wanted to see and do. All questions and itinerary change requests were replied to promptly with clear details of how each option would play out. We must have gone through 5 or 6 different versions before picking one, and his helped us plan confidently over the year or so leading up to the trip.
We ended up having flight issues on the first day of our trip, but Brilliant kept in touch with us and made last minute adjustments to ensure we were picked up from a different location and able to get our plans back on track. Once we arrived, Lightness took us through our trip details again to make sure our expectations were met; it's clear that they wanted to ensure we had the best time, and we did!
During our trip we had everything we could need, and all of our various activities, lodges and hotels all taken care of. Our driver Joshua was a pleasure to spend time with, as well being a consummate professional. Excellent driving kept us safe, with a well maintained vehicle stocked with snacks/drinks etc for our long days out.
Top quality service from a very professional team.

An unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania
We had a wonderful and unforgettable safari experience with Shemeji Safari. Our guides, Bonny and Laswai, were amazing: attentive, kind and very knowledgeable. They were always teaching us about the animals, the environment and Tanzania, which made the whole experience even more special.
The accommodations were excellent, always clean and comfortable. We also felt very safe, even when staying in places surrounded by wildlife, which was an incredible experience in itself. The food was also very good.
Everything was well organized and we felt very well taken care of throughout the safari. We are leaving Tanzania with wonderful memories and a much deeper appreciation for its wildlife, nature and people. We would definitely recommend Shemeji Safari!

Ticked all the boxes
I’ve just returned from an amazing safari, and I couldn’t recommend it highly enough!
From start to finish, I felt completely safe and well looked after. Our two tour leaders, Rio in Kenya and Legger in Tanzania, were both incredibly reliable, knowledgeable, and professional. They kept to all the timings and managed to fit in every activity, even with the traffic, which made the whole experience run so smoothly.
One of the biggest highlights was seeing the Big Five in just one day, along with an incredible variety of other animals. Every day brought something special, and the wildlife experiences were truly unforgettable.
The food arrangements were also excellent. All my dietary requests were fully accommodated, which made such a difference.
The accommodation in the tents in the Serengeti was absolutely magical. Waking up surrounded by nature was an experience I’ll never forget.
Another major highlight was visiting Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru, followed by the fantastic bike ride in Hell’s Gate National Park. These experiences were such a wonderful combination of adventure and natural beauty.
A huge thank you to Rio and Legger for making the trip so memorable. Their organisation, knowledge, and dedication made this an exceptional safari. I came home with amazing memories and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a safe, well-organised, and unforgettable African adventure!

Reliable local safari company with great service, fair prices, and unforgettable experiences.
We had an amazing and unforgettable safari experience with Peak Cruise Safaris, and I would highly recommend this local tour company to anyone planning to visit Uganda and Rwanda.
From the very beginning, Jennifer, the owner, was fantastic. She was extremely responsive and always answered all of our questions quickly. Whenever I had something to ask, she was there to help and provide all the information we needed. She also prepared and sent us the itinerary very quickly, which made planning the whole trip easy and stress-free.
One of the things we really appreciated about Peak Cruise Safaris is that it is a locally run company offering very reasonable and competitive prices without compromising on quality. We felt that we received excellent value for our money. The accommodations throughout our safari were beautiful, comfortable, and in many cases felt quite luxurious. The meals provided during the trip were also delicious and exceeded our expectations.
A very special thank you goes to our driver, Godfrey. He was extremely friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and always made us feel comfortable throughout the journey. Spending so many days together on the road, having such a great driver and guide really makes a difference, and Godfrey was a big part of why we enjoyed our trip so much.
We also had wonderful local guides throughout our journey, including at Volcanoes National Park, Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth National Park, the Kazinga Channel, and during our chimpanzee trekking. Every guide we met was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They helped us understand so much more about the wildlife, nature, and local environment.
Jennifer, Godfrey, and all of the local guides truly made our safari an amazing and unforgettable experience. We had such a wonderful time and came home with so many great memories.
I would highly recommend Peak Cruise Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Uganda or Rwanda. You get a very good and reasonable deal together with excellent service, quality accommodations, delicious food, knowledgeable guides, and a very personal experience from a local company.
It was worth every dollar we spent. Thank you so much to Jennifer, Godfrey, and everyone who made our journey so special!

Knowledgeable and friendly
4 day tour with guide Elisante. Appreciated his friendly demeanor and knowledge about the parks and the animals that we encountered. Trip was planned by my travel partner so I cannot comment on that aspect. Would highly recommend.
