Supportive
Overall I am satisfied with this tour, that included game drives and Maasai village. Our guide Steve was very enthusiastic and took us to many places during Safari. When we checked later some people did not see the scenes that we saw. We saw all animals of Big Five and more. He was very friendly, cheerful and knew the area pretty well. He was also very helpful to other colleagues during Safari ride... three trucks were stuck in the mud and he did not hesitate to help them as well as he stopped and helped the driver with the flat tire. I think that such support in the middle of the nowhere is very important. I will recommend him as a good guide and driver. The company itself provided several options and I stayed at the Tented Camp and I knew what to expect, but the company did not warn us that there will be no Internet and it was quite challenging, food was below average and it also was challenging because there were no eateries close to this camp. So I would recommend to plan wisely where to stay.

Wonderful experience, organization a bit chaotic
We had the best time climbing Kilimanjaro for 5 Days through Marangu Route. 9 people in total supported us. We had two great guys (especially Elly was wonderful in explaining the nature to us). The nicest waiter Ashraf, and overall we had a good time with the team. After that we spent one night in Arusha to then have 2 days in Serengeti and 1 day in Ngorogoro crater. The Safari was well organized and we saw fascinating animals. Some things for improvement:
The packing list was incomplete. We did not know that we should bring a duffle bag, multiple gloves, that our bags were carried etc. At the Safari we were told sleeping bags were provided, however they were not washed and therefore we would have loved our own. Also we were told on Kilimanjaro that we had double rooms but had to share rooms two nights. Pick up times were communicated on very short notice and we had to remind the tour operator that he owed us one more night that we had paid for. Again, tour was amazing but organization needs improvement.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Nuri
Extremely beautiful and well protected. Only putting 4 stars as the rules about driving around are extremely strict, unlike some of the other parks, but it’s still extremely worth a visit. We had a lovely time!

Reliable, well-organized and truly dedicated to delivering memorable Ugandan adventures!
A Journey of a Lifetime in Uganda
Jackal Adventures gave us an unforgettable safari that blended primates, wildlife, and culture. The highlight was gorilla trekking in Bwindi, where we spent an hour observing a family of gorillas in their tranquil forest home. Chimpanzee tracking in Kibale was equally thrilling, while game drives in Murchison Falls National Park provided breathtaking sightings of giraffes, lions, and elephants. Cultural experiences included visiting a local coffee plantation and learning about the Batwa people. Our guide, Patrick, was knowledgeable and friendly, making every moment enjoyable. The accommodations were superb, offering luxury and comfort after long days of exploration. This safari was an incredible adventure, and Jackal Adventures made it flawless.

Nice experience
Driver Ruben was so nice and well educated we had lot of fun in the car. He was professional even though we had some problems on the road - he always fixed everything. Also our cook Joseph was so professional and always cooked for us delicious meals. I recommended this company

Almost perfect
We had a really joyful 4 day safari with the company. Almost saw the big five- minus the leopard. Our guide Thobius, really good guy who was very informative. Tarangire was boring in my opinion, but Ngorongore and Manyara was a success. Saw many wild animals and got a whole lot good pictures. So I recommend this. I wish we had the time to visit Serengeti. But we will for sure be back in near future.

Excellent driver for our tour
I booked the 5 day safari for me and my mum.
We chose to pay for the medium range. Everything was excellent. Our driver Jackson was patient and informative. He did his best to make sure we got the best views of the animals
The food and accomodation during the safari was excellent. Very clean and tidy with amazing staff. We had a pool at one of the lodges which my mum enjoyed. The luxury tents lived up to the name luxury.
The review is 4 stars not 5 stars because:
We asked the operate to book accomodation for before and after the safari and this was a let down. It did not meet the expectations ( dirty bathrooms with unpleasant odour)
Secondly there were 4 of us to start in the car but we were all at different accomodation. This meant we spent about 1-2 hours just driving to the accomodation to pick up other people at the start of the day as well at the end of the day when everyone has to be dropped off. We felt this could have been planned better
Overall it was a great trip. I would highly recommend this
