Fantastic organization, a great person – very friendly and helpful.
Jonathan is a fantastic person; he took care of us as if we were family. He helped us organize our entire stay. We are very satisfied and highly recommend him.

Genuine, accommodating, authentic, safe experience in an incredible place
I had an amazing adventure with Mountain Hiking Ventures. Daniel has over 20 years of experience on the mountain, and made sure everything was organized for us to have an amazing time. He was kind, his team was so fun and caring, the food was genuinely so good and I learned so much about the environment, history, culture, and animals of the park. Both guides were so knowledgeable, and even in hard moments of my trek and sumiting the mountain I felt extremely supported by my guides. I will definitely be doing another adventure with the team again in the future. I recommend Daniel for Mt. Kenya as well as any other local safari or hiking adventure based trips in Kenya and Tanzania. Asante Daniel and Team!

Best of the best excellent services
I had a wonderful experience with Africa’s Wild Wonders. Jay was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable throughout the trip. The communication was excellent from the beginning, and everything was well organized. We couldn't hope for a better safari than this. I would definitely recommend Africa’s Wild Wonders to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable adventure.

The BEST tour operator in the world: trustworthy, honest, wonderful - book with them!!!
Where do I even start describing the best trip of my life?! This has truly been one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had, all thanks to the absolutely amazing Michael at Bugoli Adventures, who organised the trip and made my dream come true - and Matiya, who is simply the BEST safari guide in the world!!!
I cannot thank them enough. I’m so glad I found Bugoli Adventures when planning this trip. I couldn’t have made a better choice! They are trustworthy, reliable, extremely safe, attentive and just fantastic people.
I travel a lot, mainly solo, and as a woman travelling alone, everything was absolutely perfect. In fact, I’m so glad I travelled on my own with Bugoli, because I ended up meeting so many wonderful people along the way!
Michael helped me organised the best itinerary, listening to what I like and then planning accordingly. It really exceeded all my expectations.
Matiya, my guide, was simply exceptional. He did so much driving, looked after me so well and always made me feel safe, and was the best travel buddy!! He shared his extraordinary knowledge of wildlife, local cultures and the places we visited, patiently answering the millions of questions I had! When you’re travelling solo, having such wonderful company makes all the difference. I’m so grateful to have met him!
The gorilla trekking: This was a lifelong dream, so my expectations couldn’t possibly have been higher. And somehow, the experience EXCEEDED them! Seeing gorillas in the wild was surreal. One of the most extraordinary moments of my life.
The chimpanzee trekking: Every bit as incredible as the gorillas! The trek through Kyambura Gorge was unforgettable. I think it might be the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen in my life. I was completely speechless.
The lodges: I chose midrange accommodation, and every lodge was fabulous! Breathtaking locations, spotless and comfortable rooms, absolutely delicious food, and the absolute highlight was the staff, who at every single lodge were some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.
The activities and rangers: Everything was incredible from start to finish. The rangers who accompanied us were wonderful. Their knowledge of the forest and wildlife was extraordinary, as was their dedication to protecting these places and the animals living there. I learned so much from them!
Two absolute highlights were the Batwa experience organised by James and Nicholas, and the swamp wildlife walk led by Eliphaz. I LOVED both experiences and would absolutely recommend including them in your itinerary!
And something that made this trip even more meaningful: Michael also runs a charity supporting children with albinism, and a percentage of Bugoli’s proceeds goes towards supporting them. I had the enormous privilege of visiting the children and spending time with them. That experience is something I will carry with me forever. It says so much about Michael and the kind of person he is.
I arrived in Uganda hoping to fulfil a lifelong dream. I left with memories I’ll treasure forever, new friendships, and an even greater love for this extraordinary part of the world. Michael and Matiya, I genuinely cannot thank you enough!!!!!
If you’re thinking of travelling to Rwanda or Uganda, especially as a solo traveller, I cannot recommend Bugoli Adventures highly enough. I would choose them again in a heartbeat!

It's fantastic!
The tour was incredible, but the real highlight was our guide, Eshetu, an extremely polite, helpful, and kind person who speaks English very well. He explained the history of Ethiopia, shared interesting facts, and went out of his way to ensure we could enjoy the tour.

Ecky the best guide
I really enjoyed the safari! Our guide was fantastic and shared some very interesting facts about the animals. We even spent the night out in the middle of the savanna—it was an absolutely awesome experience. I highly recommend it to everyone!

It was fantastic!!!
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience! I have several food allergies, and the chef was incredibly considerate and made sure to accommodate all of them. The food was delicious throughout the entire trip!
Our driver was also wonderful: such a kind and friendly man who taught us so much about the animals and the national parks. We had an unforgettable experience and were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five!
We couldn’t have asked for a better safari. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Tanzania! 🐘🦁🦒

The Best 4 Days! 100% Recommend Lukas!
We booked our trip from home through a travel agency, and the tour was operated by Go Serengeti African Tours. We recently completed this amazing 4-day safari with our guide, Lukas, and we cannot recommend him and the company highly enough! Our itinerary started in Arusha and took us to Tarangire National Park for one day, the Serengeti for two days, and the Ngorongoro Crater for the final day, before ending at Kilimanjaro International Airport.
Future travelers should be prepared for the journey to the Serengeti: it requires long drives of about 4 hours on bumpy, rough dirt roads, but it is absolutely worth it. Throughout the entire trip, we always felt completely safe and in expert hands with Lukas. He has an incredible eye for wildlife – he spotted so many animals that we would have completely missed ourselves. Thanks to his dedication and skills, we were able to see the Big Five along with many other fascinating animals.
What truly showed his professionalism was the end of our safari: during a single critical situation with an elephant, Lukas reacted with immense experience, calmness, and skill, keeping us perfectly safe. If you are planning a safari, we absolutely recommend booking Go Serengeti African Tours and asking for Lukas!

A Memorable safari
Safari Soles gave us an absolutely extraordinary safari. We saw all the animals we dreamed of seeing. The landscapes were breathtaking and Baraka was the best guide we have ever had, professional, funny, and always making sure we felt safe. He took care of every detail and somehow spotted wildlife from far away that we would never have noticed. We couldn't have asked for a better guide.

Experienced guide, instant friend, warm and welcoming
What an unforgettable adventure in Angola!
The trip was everything I hoped for and more. Incredible four-wheel driving, breathtaking scenery and experiences that will stay with me for a lifetime.
Armand is an experienced guide, a real character and great entertainment along the way. His knowledge, confidence and expertise made all the difference, particularly when tackling the notorious Death Acre. It’s certainly not something I would have attempted without such an experienced guide.
And then there’s Nessie, Armand’s assistant, who somehow manages to conjure up the most amazing meals in the most unlikely places. Always cheerful, helpful and ready to lend a hand, he was an absolute delight and an integral part of the experience.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves adventure, spectacular scenery and getting off the beaten track. Angola is an extraordinary destination, and experiencing it with Armand and Nessie made it all the more special.
