Disappointed in experience in Uganda by this company
Very disappointing time in Uganda yje guide was disinterested and gave no information on Uganda. He coerced us into missing the Golden Monkeys. He drove at excessive speeds. The response from the operator was "sorry about that". Very unsatisfactory. The guide in our Tanzanian leg Sam was fantastic highlighting how bad th we Uganda guide was. Sam works for a group that operates out of Tanzania. There are plenty of other local Safari operators in Uganda. I would suggest you use someone other than Katella Uganda Safaris.

Knowledgeable, friendly, and organized team!
I booked the 1-day tour to Ngorongoro crater with Vision Safari and Tours, and it was a great experience from start to end. Ms. Sanura, the agency representative, was in contact with me from the moment I reserved the tour till a day after finishing it to ensure that everything went smoothly. Around 5:45am, I was picked up from Arusha by Ally who took me and a couple to the meeting point with our Safari driver, Osman. Before heading to the Safari, we had a good breakfast and then went on our way to discover the world’s largest volcanic caldera. Osman was a great driver and tracker. We saw 4 of the big 5 and many other wild animals such as zebras, ostriches, hyenas, and flamingos. Around 1:00pm, we stopped at a beautiful lake and had a very good lunch before our long trip back to Arusha. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see wild animals in their habitat, and Vision Safari and Tours to anyone who wants to go on this adventure with a very capable, friendly, and welcoming team! Asante sana Sanura, Ally,and Osman!

professionalism, quality, and simplicity
Everything went smoothly from start to finish.
Once the booking was made and the deposit paid, I didn't need to ask for any specific details until a week before departure; I got back in touch to coordinate logistics once I arrived in Nairobi the day before the safari.
The pickup by the driver was seamless; throughout the trip, he was discreet, efficient, offered great advice, and was very courteous, which put us at ease.
We went on a 3-day, 2-night safari in Amboseli, saw plenty of wildlife, and really enjoyed our getaway.
The Nyati Camp chosen for the safari was excellent.
It was set right in the heart of nature in well-appointed tents, giving the place a charming atmosphere.
The service was impeccable, and the food was very good.
Everything went exactly as planned.
Thank you, Buffalo Step Adventure.

Wonderful safari
Ms. Shamanta organized the trip impeccably, and we even had a video call with Mr. Roberto—who was in Tanzania at the time—to clear up some doubts and get some incredibly useful advice.
We ran into an issue with our luggage not arriving at the airport, but the staff immediately stepped in to resolve the problem, even though it wasn't their responsibility.
The Savannah Explorers team delivered our bags two days later, despite the fact that we were a long way from Arusha. Truly outstanding service.
The safari was spectacular; we visited beautiful locations and saw so many animals—often from very close range. Our guide, Semle, was incredibly professional, offering the best advice on what to see and do, and above all, ensuring we lacked nothing throughout the entire safari.
The vehicle was comfortable despite the rough roads, and we never experienced any issues.
The accommodations were all excellent in terms of both the rooms and the food; the most enchanting spot was undoubtedly the Serengeti Kifaru Tented Lodge, where zebras would come right outside our tent at night to graze.
We were captivated not only by the wildlife but also by the sunsets, whose intense colors were truly dreamlike.
The trip exceeded our expectations.
I would like to thank the entire Savannah Explorers team for the professionalism, punctuality, and courtesy they demonstrated every single day.
I highly recommend going on a safari with them.

Best experience ever!
Our safari with Afio Mai was excellent from start to finish. Our guide, George, was outstanding—he knew exactly where to position the vehicle and when to pause, ensuring we didn't miss a single sighting. We were lucky enough to spot not only the Big 5 but also the Angry 5, thanks to his keen eye and local expertise. Beyond the safari itself, Timothy, the owner, was always on hand to help—whether during our arrival in Nairobi or throughout our stay, he made sure everything ran smoothly. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. Given the exceptional quality of the guiding and the seamless organisation, we felt the value for money was outstanding. We wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Magnificent safari in Amboseli national park
I went for a 2-day safari to Amboseli National park. Everything worked perfect, from recieving qoutes, conducting payments to pick-up at hotel, the transport, check-in at lodge to the safari itself, the meals and airport-dropoff.
Although I booked alone with the option of going with a group, I ended up alone with the guide, which felt nice and luxurious. The guide, Moses, was a very careful and considerate driver, which is important taking Kenyan traffic into account. He is very knowledgable about all the animals we saw: The large herds of elephants, zebras, gnus, were simply stunning in addition to the hippos, all the birds, gazelles, ostriches, giraffes and buffalos. Lions and cheetahs were nearby, and although we did not see them this time, for me it was enough to know that they were around.
The guide did his best to try to find them (in communicating over the radio with other guides), but spotting the lions is more about luck than planning. After the safari I opted to visit a masai village close to one of the gates of the national park, which was very nice! We saw Kilimanjaro through the skies, and on clearer days, the view must be absolutely stunning.
I sincerely recommend going with Moshel Tours and travel, either to Amboseli or to other locations! The company is, in addition to taking tourists, a regular guide for several embassies and diplomats, which should be taken as a proof of its credibility, quality and reliability.

Good experience
We had a good experience with the tour operator during our safari in Tanzania. Communication and punctuality were good throughout, and there was always an effort to ensure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed during the trip.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and well-spoken, and always went out of his way to make sure we had a great safari experience. He ensured that we reached our various destinations safely and on time and handled the challenges we experienced with the safari vehicle professionally and calmly.
Unfortunately, we did experience some vehicle problems during our trip, which was disappointing and did affect the journey at times. However, despite these challenges, our guide made every effort to keep us comfortable and ensured that we reached our accommodations safely.
Overall, we had a good experience and appreciated the professionalism, friendliness and dedication of our guide. His knowledge and commitment certainly contributed to making our Tanzanian safari a memorable one.

Absolutely amazing
We booked a day safari in Mikumi National Park. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Our guide, Aristidis, always went out of his way to show us a wide variety of animals. It was especially great when we drove up to within 3 meters of the elephants and were able to observe them up close. Once again, a big thank you to Aristidis!
