Gorilla's and Kidepo: extremes in many ways
We had a spectacular tailor-made trip through Uganda, thanks to the top class service of Matoke (cheers Ilse). In an 8 day span we went to Bwindi to watch the gorilla's (no recommendation necessary) and Kidepo (better kept a secret) by mini bus. It was challenging but worth every second. We saw the whole country, literarily. Dramatic changes of landscape all day, views, smells, sounds. We asked for an enthusiastic, passionate guide who would not be intimidated by our many, many questions. And so we did get a walking encyclopaedia with telescopic eyes who happened to be the nicest companion you could wish for. We want him for ourselves and cannot disclose his name (cheers Geoffrey). Uganda is not a problem free zone in East Africa. Thank you Geoffrey for taking time with us to learn more about the events that took place in Northern Uganda and influenced the communities but also the wildlife in Kidepo. Tourists from abroad should do so.
We'll be back.

Reliable and quick to respond
I mainly corresponded with Andre of Safari with Us and it was very comforting to get quick responses to any questions I have. Planning for a safari trip from overseas is a bit daunting but dealing with Safari With Us made it easy and effortless. The safari package I eventually selected was from Viva Safaris (Safari with Us partners with them) and it turned out the way it was described. Great experience!

TV production recce to Uganda
I've worked with Encounter Africa Safaris as local partner for a Dutch TV production. We did the research trip in November 2016. Edson and Torbert did the pre-production and took care of all logistic arrangements, as well as scouting locations/stories/people. It was a well organised research trip and I left the country with enough options to fill 3 episodes, if needed. Tolbert travelled with me during the research trip and was fun the have around. He took care of all the arrangements and was punctual and everything one would expect from a producer/driver. I would strongly recommend them for your visit (business or pleasure) to Uganda.

Perfect trip with Rowly
We had a wonderful time in Durban, St. Lucia and the Hluhluwe game reserve. Rowly took care of us and did a great job! He explained us a lot of things which you won't know without a tour guide. We saw places which we wouldn't find without him and he took every question/wish seriously. If we ever come back to South Africe (maybe for a Sani Pass and Drakensberg trip) we'll book our trip again with Go Wild Safaris! Thank you again :)

Best time ever!
We are finished our safari at Masai Mara... Beacon Safari was really really great! I wrote to the owner many times and always get a quickly and generous answer... the arrangments, the hotel, the car, the food and the places was amazing, but maybe the best was the guide! His name is Anthony and we couldn't expect nothing better! All was perfect because him!
If we could came back to Kenya, we definitly call him!

I think Tony is one of the best drive guide to find animals and put you always in the best positions to make wonderfuls pictures.
His team and organisation are much professionnal . Bush camps are confortable and food is delicious.
He always made sure we were happy and confortable.
I certainly will return with him ans highly recommand Tony for unforgatable safaris

It was a wonderful time with our driver Frank an now he is our friend...
Frank was our driver and he is very TOP !!
His knowlage about his country is great, hi is a perfect driver and also the best tour-guide.
His attainment of the Akagera-Park, about animals und the terrain is very good.
We were on tour with him from sunrise till sunset every day. He was always funny.
We would like to take a lot of fotostops and it was never too much for him.
Also at the trip through the country, along the Kiwu-Lake, Frank knows a lot of beautiful
places and restaurants. We hope we can come back soon to this wonderful country and back to
