Not expected but so much nicer then I thought. Recommend everyone to go to visit the country
Uganda was an amazing experience from start to finish. Even in Entebbe, there was so much to see, from the zoo to the shoebill, one of the country's iconic birds.
The rafting was fantastic, and Kidepo National Park was absolutely breathtaking. Murchison Falls National Park was another highlight, especially the spectacular waterfalls and the boat trip, where we saw hippos and crocodiles up close.
Of course, the chimpanzee trekking was unforgettable, but the absolute highlight of the trip was seeing the mountain gorillas. We were lucky enough to see several silverbacks, and it was an experience we'll never forget.
We also loved exploring the national park in the south, where we walked among giraffes, enjoyed the beautiful lake, and went canoeing. Queen Elizabeth National Park was another incredible stop, offering amazing wildlife and unforgettable scenery.
The food throughout the trip was amazing, with a great variety of delicious meals, and the accommodation was comfortable everywhere we stayed, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Overall, the entire journey was more than 100% worth it. Uganda exceeded all our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari and wildlife adventure.

They took care of us from the 1st inquiry through the end of the trip - Best trip ever!
Beyond the Plains was detailed and responsive from 1st inquiry through the final day of our trip. They listened to our desires and not only fulfilled them, but delivered more than we had dreamed - all within our budget.
Maurine not only took care of all of our arrangements, she also checked on us throughout our 11 day trip. She would ensure we knew transfer and excursion arrangements. If we had questions before or during our trip - she responded quickly and effectively.
Our Guide, Ronnie was an all star! He asked for our wildlife priorities and was able to deliver through experience and some networking. Its apparent he loves his job and well known among the locations we visited.
This was not our 1st safari, but our 1st time using Beyond the Plains. I wish I would have found them sooner. They are the best!!

Martin was amazing, knowledgeable, funny
Martin was amazing talking about every animal we saw and giving us details about them, he always stopped in the right spot for photographers and if you needed to move for the right angle he did , he had sense of humor making everyone laugh and safe on our game drives, he made my entire experience to Tanzania for the first time amazing and rememberable for my first time, I recommend Martin for your guide!!

Our guide was Hoppy- cared for us from beginning to end. Amazing knowledge and we managed to see the big 5 plus so much more. Accommodation was amazing, going to sleep to the sounds of the Hippo's in the Sabie river- unforgettable.

Excellent!
My wife and I went on a safari in Kenya this month, and it was a life-changing experience! Allano was extremely helpful and readily available from the start of our planning right up to the last day of the trip. We faced personal health issues that altered our travel plans more than once, but thanks to the proactivity of Allano and his team, we were able to overcome these setbacks and reorganize everything to ensure the trip was perfect. It was great knowing we could rely on the company whenever we needed to. Our guide in Kenya was also very pleasant and took us to wonderful places. If I return to Africa, definitely I would choose Active Wonders again.

Safari Tailors: Beyond Expectations!
We made our reservations with 50% down-payment way back in Feb-26, 4 months before our trip in June and balance 50% one month before departure from Singapore. We were not sure and worried a bit whether things would turn out as described and promised, as this is our first ever trip to South Africa. All our worries disappeared from the moment we were picked up upon arrival according to the itinerary, and subsequent daily trips were excellent in view of timing, routes, transports, accommodations, meals, and to the local guides and drivers assigned. Everything is above and beyond our expectations, and we sincerely thank Safari Tailors for providing us such a memorable trip of our life!
