100% recommend, you will have the adventure of a lifetime in the safest of hands.
We came across this company on Safaribookings.com and in all honesty we were a little dubious to start with booking with a company we had never heard of before, but the reviews were good, the itinerary ticked all the boxes and was competitively priced, so we took the leap of faith and booked, and we were so very glad we did.
From start to finish everything was so well organised and professional, and communication was quick, clear and concise. When it came to planning the trip and itinerary, nothing was too much trouble for Godwin; he understood clearly our requests and created an amazing wildlife and birding itinerary to meet our budget and was very communicative at every step. Then came the actual trip; our guide Emanuel was amazing, always on hand for advice and supporting us through each activity. He was both professional and personable, extremely knowledgeable, and really made our trip that extra special and stress free. The whole trip and every activity lived up to all expectations, highlights being the shoebill at Mabamba Swamp, the rhinos at Ziwa, the chimpanzees in Bodongo Forest and then everything at Murchisons NP, from the powerful and breathtaking falls to spotting lions on the savannah and finding hyenas by flashlight before dawn. In total we tallied 201 bird species and 31 mammals.
We would 100% recommend booking with Deluxe Vacations, you will not regret it, you will be in the best and safest of hands with Godwin and his team.
We will definitely be returning and booking with them again to visit the national parks on the west side of the country.

My incredible safari experience with Kaju community and nature tours Uganda Limited
I recently completed an incredible 10-day journey across Uganda with KAJU Community and Nature Tours Uganda Limited, and it was truly one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. From the smooth airport pick-up to the final moments of the trip, everything was well organized and thoughtfully planned.
The adventure began with the beautiful landscapes and wildlife of Lake Mburo National Park, where I enjoyed seeing zebras and giraffes roaming freely in the savannah. One of the most unforgettable moments was trekking the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, an emotional and once-in-a-lifetime experience. I also had amazing wildlife encounters during game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park, followed by an exciting chimpanzee tracking experience in Kibale National Park.
I loved spending time in the beautiful tourism city of Fort Portal before ending the journey with a vibrant city tour in Kampala. Throughout the entire trip, the team at KAJU was professional, the guide was friendly, and very knowledgeable about Uganda’s wildlife, culture, and conservation.
This trip gave me memories I will carry for a lifetime. I highly recommend KAJU Community and Nature Tours Uganda Limited to anyone looking for a truly authentic Ugandan adventure.

An absolute 5-star experience! Highly recommend! We had a wonderful safari with Africa Jocky Tours
We had a wonderful safari with Jocky Tours and Safaris. Huge thanks to Francis for being an amazing guide! Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see lions, elephants, buffaloes, cheetahs, giraffes, and zebras up close. Everything from communication to service was perfectly organized, safe, and truly memorable. It was worth every penny. Highly recommend this tour!

The team is very professional，they did an amazing job！
Communication was absolutely fantastic. There was a 5-hour time difference between us, yet whenever we sent emails after work, Helena always replied as quickly as possible. Our whole communication process went extremely smoothly. She even recommended a trusted local team in Kenya to arrange our 3-day safari tour. Just like Mountain Warriors, the Kenyan team was incredibly kind, responsive, and did their best to meet all our requests.
In terms of service, everyone we met throughout the trip—from sales staff to our driver-guide—was outstanding and fully dedicated to their work. We are truly grateful for all the hard work Helena put into planning our itinerary in advance. Special thanks also go to our driver-guide Innocent, who offered professional, humorous and sincere service.
If you are looking for a professional, genuine team that truly cares about your travel experience, with great energy and a wonderful sense of humor, do not hesitate to book with Mountain Warriors! Innocent has nearly 10 years of safari guiding experience, and he will make your African safari unforgettable and beyond your expectations.

well-organised & executed safari experience
Daniel from Dana organised our Tanzanian safari, and the entire experience was seamless. Every accommodation was booked according to my preferences, and everything ran exactly as outlined in the itinerary. Daniel checked in regularly throughout the seven-day trip to make sure everything was going well and that my expectations were being met. I highly recommend Dana for a well-organized safari experience.

A professional, worry-free experience from start to finish!
While there were plenty of tour operators for our 7-day safari in Tanzania, I am so very happy we went with Meru Slopes! I know it takes a lot of trust to choose one of these companies and invest trust (and money!) in them upfront, but you truly cannot do better than Meru Slopes. Shadrack was our organizer, and he provided excellent early support in putting together the perfect package and itinerary for us. His communication was prompt and helpful, and was ultimately the reason we went with Meru Slopes initially. What we found out later was that they are one of the few tour companies that are locally owned in Tanzania, rather than by companies that exist out of the local economy, which made us feel better about having invested in them.
Our tour guide Andrew was, in a word, outstanding. He answered every one of our (very many) questions along the routes, was warm and friendly throughout, and incredibly knowledgeable about all the terrain, ecosystems and wildlife that we experienced. Possibly the best part was his pacing. He didn't rush us along from one sighting to the next, but allowed us to hold at a location when we wanted to, or move on when we were ready. This allowed us to truly have the safari experience we were hoping for, without feeling like we were being pushed along.
The accommodations were better than expected, and very smooth checking in and out, which was helpful given we were in a different location every night. Everything truly felt so well-coordinated and planned, and came off without a hitch. We could not be more happy with our safari experience, and we know it will be a memory that will last the rest of our lives.
THANK YOU MERU SLOPES!!

Reliable people who know how to get big five
We booked 4 days long safari. Our guide was Felix - good guy, with knowledge and attitude! We learned a lot of interesting facts about wildlife from him. Because of Felix we managed to see so many animals, and most of them up really close! Giraffes, elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopard, hyenas, hippos, zevras, crocodiles, buffallos, many subspecies of antilopes! It was really a cool adventure. Thank you again, Felix!

A choice you won't regret, a company I would recommend when traveling in Africa!
While preparing for my first trip to Africa, I chose a company with good reviews at a reasonable price, which led me to use that company.
Our guide, Francis, is a good driver and explains things very well. Above all, safari tours are often divided into the guide's ability to recognize animals, and Francis was exceptional. The ability of an expert to answer all questions people ask during the trip is also sufficient.
Thanks to you, I had a very peaceful and enjoyable safari tour that I will never forget in my life for two nights and three days!
Thank you, Francis :)
