Smooth safari experience
Super eagles was a great choice for a group safari on a budget with great value for price. They also organized for us a private transport at a good price with a very kind driver. Our jeep driver and safari guide was most knowledgable and his many years of experience made our safari incredible - we managed to see the big five in just two game drives! I would really recommend this agency.

Exceptional 11-Day Uganda Safari - Book with Confidence!
We have just returned from an incredible 11-day safari across Uganda with Wild Uganda Safaris, and I honestly cannot recommend them highly enough.
Like many UK travellers, I was initially a little apprehensive about booking directly with a company based overseas rather than using a UK tour operator. However, I can say without hesitation that Wild Uganda Safaris are completely legitimate, professional and trustworthy. From start to finish, everything was handled exceptionally well, and any concerns I had disappeared very quickly.
A special thank you to Ernest, who helped us put together an itinerary that worked perfectly within our budget while still maximising the wildlife experiences and activities. He was responsive, helpful and clearly understood exactly what we wanted from our trip.
The safari itself exceeded all expectations. Our guide and driver, Kasim, was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire trip. He immediately made us feel comfortable, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and was an excellent driver on some challenging roads. What really stood out was how much effort he put into ensuring we had the best possible experience. He frequently went above and beyond, adding extra stops and opportunities so that we could see even more wildlife and make the most of our time in Uganda.
Thanks to Kasim's expertise and determination, we were fortunate enough to see an unbelievable variety of wildlife. Highlights included lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos, jackals, hyenas and countless other animals. We were also lucky enough to see the incredible shoebill, which was a real bucket-list sighting.
For me personally, the primate experiences were unforgettable. Trekking to see the mountain gorillas was every bit as amazing as I had hoped, while spending time with chimpanzees and golden monkeys was equally memorable. The golden monkeys were an absolute highlight of the trip and something I will never forget.
Every day seemed to bring a new adventure, a new landscape and another incredible wildlife encounter. Uganda is a truly beautiful country, and Wild Uganda Safaris did a superb job of showcasing its diversity, wildlife and culture.
If you are considering a safari in Uganda, especially if you are coming from the UK and are unsure about booking direct, my advice would be simple: don't hesitate. Wild Uganda Safaris delivered an exceptional experience, excellent value for money and service that exceeded our expectations in every way.
A huge thank you to Ernest, Kasim and the entire team for helping create memories that will last a lifetime. We would happily book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable Ugandan safari adventure.

Incredible Safari Tour
My wife and I had an incredible experience with Ndutu Green Explorers. Our first contact with them is through Godson, who was extremely kind and patient in crafting our honeymoon safari to my expectations. He even arranged pickup and droppoff to and from JRO airport as part of our package.
Our incredible guide was Ima. A lot of reviews say that the guide was the one factor that made or break your trip. With Ima, we saw not only all the Big 5 animals, but also cheetahs and giraffes. Within hours of our central Serengeti drive, we a leopard sleeping in a tree and two adult lions fighting over a kill. These memories will stay with us forever. Ima is also very kind and humble, always making sure we’re doing fine and even helping out other drivers and sometimes the local children in neighbouring towns. He has the Serengeti paths mapped in his head, allowing us to be one of two jeeps in viewing two lions relaxing underneath a tree and one in the tree. He was very easy to talk to and made the drives between camps engaging.
Thank you, thank you Ima and Ndutu Green - we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives and hope to be back soon.

The entire trip was perfect. Our guide, Baraka, was wonderful and highly experienced; he was spot-on at locating the "Big Cats," and we managed to see
Our guide had 17 years of experience and was incredibly skilled at spotting animals quickly and accurately; in just three days, he helped us see all of the "Big Five." He consistently found the perfect vantage points, allowing us to capture the Great Migration and moments of big cats on the hunt.

A very patient and responsible owner and company.
This journey was very pleasant and smooth. Baraka, a guide with 17 years of experience, was arranged. He was very humble, gentle and patient. He was very familiar with the whole safari itinerary and knew a lot about the living habits and habitats of many animals. We soon saw a lot of rare Animals. The whole trip is safe, reliable and unforgettable. I will recommend it to all my friends in the future. If I visit Tanzania twice in the future, I will continue to choose this travel company!

Unforgettable 5-Day Private Safari through the best National Parks of Tanzania
We booked a customized 5-day fly-in/fly-out private safari from Zanzibar to the Northern Circuit (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara) with Greatday Safaris and the entire experience was amazing.
Communication & Planning
Right from our initial inquiry on SafariBookings, the owner Saidy was exceptionally responsive, transparent and accommodating. He tailored our itinerary exactly to our preferences, customizing tented camps and lodge selections, adjusting dates seamlessly and handling all questions via WhatsApp within minutes. Payment via PesaPal was secure and straightforward, with official confirmations and flight tickets provided in advance.
Reliability & Organization
Planning a safari that connects our island hotel stays with mainland flights and remote parks requires tight logistics. Saidy took care of every single transfer: We had timely early-morning pickups from our hotel in Zanzibar, domestic flights to Arusha and an airport transfer back to our next hotel. Whenever small schedule questions arose, the owner was immediately reachable and handled everything professionally.
The Tour, Wildlife & Guides
The tour itself exceeded all expectations. Traveling in a dedicated pop-up roof 4x4 safari cruiser with our guide gave us complete flexibility on game drives. We were lucky enough to spot the complete Big Five, alongside countless elephants, cheetahs and breathtaking landscapes across the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Staying inside tented camps and lodges amidst the parks was an unforgettable adventure.
Value for Money & Service
For a fully private safari including domestic flights, national park fees, quality accommodations, all meals and personalized guidance, the pricing was fair and completely transparent with no hidden costs. The warm hospitality and personal attention from Saidy made us feel in safe hands throughout.
If you are looking for a reliable, honest and truly personal safari operator in Tanzania, we wholeheartedly recommend Greatday Safaris and the owner Saidy! Asante sana!

Would 100% recommend, excellent service!
After contacting several safari tour operators, we chose Porcupine Expeditions, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made.
My friend and I arrived on different flights, and the team kindly arranged separate airport pickups for both of us at no extra charge. Before starting our safari, we had a day in Arusha to relax and recover from our journey. We had originally planned to explore the city on our own, but instead, the team took the time to show us around, which we greatly appreciated.
From start to finish, they took care of everything, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the experience without having to worry about a thing. We truly felt like princesses!
Mama Anna and her daughters were incredibly professional, welcoming, and kind. We encountered an issue during our safari, and they immediately did everything they could to find a solution.
We did a six-day safari followed by a one-day hike on Mount Kilimanjaro, and the entire experience was absolutely fantastic. Both our safari guide and mountain guide were knowledgeable and experienced.
The agency also helped us arrange a taxi from Zanzibar Airport to our hotel after the safari. Thanks to this contact, we were able to book all of our transfers and tours in Zanzibar as well.
We highly recommend Porcupine Expeditions. They made our trip completely stress-free and unforgettable!
