beautiful experience with a good tour operator
For my first trip to Uganda, I turned to Amos from PrideMark Safari (a tour operator and local contact of the non-profit organization AICO - Il Caprifoglio).
Even though I organized everything in just two weeks before departure, Amos immediately provided me with a detailed itinerary and the relating cost, which included lodging, meals, park entrance fees, and various activities (boat tours, gorilla trekking, chimpanzee trekking, local experiences, and visits to the places where AICO has carried out its projects in Uganda), in addition to having Amos as my driver and guide for almost the entire trip.
First of all, I’ll start by saying that taking this trip alone is extremely expensive, so, whenever possible, I recommend traveling in a group and “filling up” the 8-seater van; but, once you’ve paid the required amount, the good thing is that you no longer have to worry about anything financially (or almost nothing, because in the end, even though it’s not mandatory, you’ll feel the pressure to tip everyone) .
What I didn’t like.
First, two of the accommodations chosen by Amos (in Jinja and Itambira) were terrible and not mid-range as I had paid for, even for someone as adaptable as me.
Second, on the second day, he tried to completely skip the afternoon itinerary in Jinja without informing me, simply taking me back to the guesthouse at 1:00 p.m. for lunch. When I realised I would have to be stuck in this place (outside the city centre) until the following morning without being able to do literally anything – contrary to what had been planned – I made my disappointment very clear, and he understood and made up for it by organising some activities for me.
Third, Amos is capable of driving for hours on end without ever stopping (and consequently without eating or taking a toilet break), so if you’ve planned a very early morning departure, make sure you organise yourself the night before to buy something to eat or at least always have some food with you and push him to stop for any needs.
All these things happened during the first few days of the trip, but once these points had been clarified with Amos (choosing more suitable accommodation, always sticking to the itinerary – barring unforeseen circumstances, of course – and not skipping meals or breaks), everything went smoothly.
I think some of the experiences are a bit too ‘touristy’ (dances and performances staged specifically for tourists - visit to the Batwa Pygmies, Banana Man and other), so I’d advise discussing this with Amos when you receive the itinerary if you’re not interested in this sort of thing, so you can skip them.
Now for the positives.
Amos was always kind, patient and helpful; he demonstrated experience, excellent knowledge of the area and driving skills; he has good contacts with local partners and he was always on hand to try and make things comfortable and easy for me, making me feel safe.
After the first few days of getting settled in, once I’d overcome the issues I mentioned earlier and we’ve got to know each other better, I found Amos to be a wonderful travel companion, not just a guide or a driver—always willing to understand my needs and make the experience not only interesting but also cheerful and fun, taking the right breaks to eat fresh fruit and groundnuts or drinking a cold beverage, taking funny pictures, laughing at the different ways we pronounce English and accommodating me whenever I wanted to stop and talk to the locals or play with the children (he also introduced me to his lovely and wise wife Connie and the youngest kid).
In short, I can say that a perfect synergy developed, which was the real added value of my trip to Uganda.
Would I recommend this tour operator? Absolutely YES — with Amos, you’ll feel right at home, and he’ll be your loving and attentive family for the entire duration of the trip.
Thank you, Amos and PrideMark Safaris!
I hope you'll remember me as a good guest—and not just for the longest review ever!

an unforgettable and safe journey
This company may not rank high on Safari Go, but after multiple rounds of communication, they responded promptly, with a friendly attitude, quick replies, and reasonable prices. The guide they provided, Ephata, was experienced and a steady driver. During our six-day trip, we witnessed wildebeest crossing the river multiple times and spotted many uncommon animals. Ephata always knew how to take us to the best viewing spots, and he communicated with us several times each day to ensure we were informed and satisfied with the itinerary. I am very pleased with this trip, though I regret a little that we didn't get to see any hunting scenes. I would definitely come back again!

Excellent experience
We had a fantastic experience with Jungleroam Safaris and were very happy with the organisation of the entire safari. Everything was very well planned, the hotels were excellent, and throughout the trip we felt that every detail had been carefully taken care of.
We are a family travelling with three young children, and they made everything very easy for us. They were always flexible, helpful and attentive to our needs, which made travelling as a family much more comfortable and enjoyable.
We would especially like to thank our guide, Solomon, for his incredible dedication, kindness and professionalism. He truly went above and beyond throughout the safari to make sure we had the best possible experience and did everything he could to help us see as many animals as possible. He was always attentive, patient and willing to help, and his enthusiasm made the safari even more special.
We felt very well looked after during the whole trip and are taking home some unforgettable memories from our time in Kenya.
We would definitely travel with Jungleroam Safaris again and would highly recommend them to family and friends. And a very special recommendation for Solomon — if you have the chance to have him as your guide, you will be in excellent hands.
Thank you so much for everything!

Well organised and seamless. Always approachable and responsive
Tanzania trip review
We decided to do a Tanzania trip (safari + Zanzibar) for 14 days during the August period to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. We started planning well in advance in December 2025.
I approached about 6 safari providers among which 2 of them were at very high range and 4 were comparatively of similar cost.
The main reason for me to choose See Endless was how responsive they were. Credit to Hatibu (representative / coordinator) who was extremely patient and approachable and responsive even during weekends and off hours.
We went backward and forth with about 20 iterations of the quote with different options of accommodations, with and without flight reservation to Zanzibar and also Zanzibar accommodation. That shows the level of patience with Hatibu. I however did similar iterations with other providers as well some of them were responsive and others lacked the communication.
We had the option to choose the best accommodation possible by comparing 3-4 hotels/camps for the 6 nights in Tanzania and zeroed in on 4 different lodges (2 of them had 2 nights).
Overall the recommendations provided including our own research proved worthy and seamless. No issues or concerns encountered ever during the entire process.
The deposit was paid in two instalments on my request and everything was confirmed in Jan. Feedback: The only small detail that could improve the booking process is that the kind of rooms per accommodation was not accurately provided, but a more general room type such as (2x standard room) for a family of 4 even though we got family rooms on most of our stay except one which had 2 rooms. As all other accommodation booking websites (like bookings, agoda or Expedia), it would help if the confirmation states what kind of room/suite per lodge/hotel is reserved. That would give the peace of mind to the guests considering this is a new country and experience especially travelling with 2 kids. That said, the accommodation booked was all as per request and of high standard and as expected. We are vegetarians and food was provided as requested. Absolutely no concerns with this. The agency can be trusted.
I ended up booking my own flight from Arusha to Zanzibar (in precision air) going against the recommendation/proposal of Hatibu and regretted as my flight was the only one delayed that day and we felt we should have stuck with the option provided by Hatibu (though we needed some extra bags allowance and found slightly cheaper rates). Likewise we booked our own Zanzibar accommodation as well to enable flexibility and slight cost difference.
However all transfers were arranged even though we had to take an earlier flight (due to Middle East situation ) and Hatibu accommodated all the transfers without any issues. All of their drivers were ahead of time.. I mean everyone and every time in the 14 days trip.
Safari Game Drives / Guide
The most important part of the trip is the game drive and we had an amazing guide Ezekiel. I can see everyone says that, but I’ll provide the highlights which makes him special:
Very courteous and friendly; extremely patient and kind; super knowledgeable about the entire area and he doesn’t even look at maps to cover the entire place which includes the 14k sq km Serengeti park. I still don’t get how he drives with confidence without any directions. He’s well connected and knows most of the other drivers (even from other companies). They connect and share a lot which is key for animal spotting.. a couple of times, even when we were ready to give up and go, he waited for a few more minutes to sight animals and this proved extremely valuable especially seeing the great migration which we were lucky to. He’s a great and safe driver - this is very important as you get to spend 6 days in his vehicle. He can spot animals without a binocular. We couldn’t even spot with it sometimes. That shows his experience. He provided answers to all the wildlife questions we had. Always ready ahead of time. You are in safe hands if you get Ezekiel as your guide. He’s a star!
Brief feedback on the lodges we stayed: (feedback not on See endless, but might help others choose)
Arusha - Under the shade lodge - Was overall ok and comfortable beds. We got a family suite with private pool which was great. The jacuzzis in both the toilets broke and flooded. They catered well with chapathi (and veg for lunch)
Manyara Best View lodge - Top notch except for the roads that lead to the lodge. Well organised and food was to the fine dining expectation. Great staff. Excellent pools and do spend time there if possible and include this in your itinerary. We stayed there 2 nights (one on day 2 and on day 5)
Serengeti sound of silence safari camp - Top notch and no complaints at all. Great food and facilities (considering they are in the middle of the forest). Even the WiFi works! Just blindly choose this and you’ll not be disappointed. We stayed there for 2 nights (day 2 and day 4).
Serengeti safari haven migration camp - Average. Food was average and also the water in the toilet was low. But since it was just one night, we were ok. Beds were good. If you get any other option, choose that. This feedback is only comparative to the other lodges which were exceptional.
Overall, I’d highly recommend See Endless based on my personal experience with Hatibu (representative) and Ezekiel (guide for the game drives).

Amazing Safari Experience
We had an amazing journey through the African savannah! Everything was well organized, and we truly enjoyed every moment of our safari.
Our guide was fantastic — very experienced and knowledgeable, but also incredibly friendly, funny, and easy to spend time with. He made the whole experience even more enjoyable and showed us so many beautiful places and animals.
It was a wonderful adventure and something we will definitely remember for a long time. Thank you for such a great experience! We would absolutely recommend Serengeti Smile.
