An incredible wildlife experience that leaves you wanting more
5/5

7 Day Uganda Wildlife Safari
Gorilla and Chimp Trekking

I had an amazing experience with Bugoli Adventure during my safari. From the beginning of planning until driving with Brighton - my driver - to Lake Mburo, Bwindi NP, QueenElizabeth NP and Kibale Forest, everything was very well organised and the team was incredibly friendly, helpful and professional.

The trek was unforgettable and really leaves me wanting more. Being so close to Gorillas, Chimps, Giraffes, Bufalos, Hippos, Elefants, Lions and more in their natural habitat was a truly special and unforgettable experience.

Brighton guided me safely and flexibly through the safari and, above all, drove me along the “Massage Roads.” Thank you for that. You did a great job!

Even though I had booked a budget safari, the lodges I stayed at were top, the food was excellent, and the service and friendliness of the people were indescribably heartwarming.

I can highly recommend Bugoli Adventure. I travelled solo and felt completely safe in Uganda. Great organisation, great people and an absolutely unforgettable experience! 🦍🇺🇬

The most proffesional, accommodating, and patient tour operator I was dealt with.
5/5

During the planning stage, they were willing to keep changing our itinerary until we settled on a tour that suited our budget while covering all the highlights of Kenya. There arranged for us to pay for all the optional extras in advance so that we had peace of mind while on holiday.

We selected mid-range luxary accommodation. Each resort that Jamlan selected for us offered excellent accommodation and superb buffet meals. After a long day on safari, we could relax in the beautiful settings before dinner.

The Jamlan staff were exceptionally helpful and always professional. They went out of their way to ensure that we got excellent value for our money. More importantly, they were in communication with us throughout our tour, ensuring that we had a wonderful, stress-free experience.

The drivers ensured that we saw the Big Five and so much more. They were very patient with those taking photographs.

We chose to do the optional hot air balloon ride which was followed by a champagne buffet breakfast in the African savannah. This is an experience that everyone should include, even if it seems expensive. It was well worth the money.

Each of the four nature reserves that we visit had something unique to offer and we are grateful that Jamlan ensured that we had a wonderful adventure.

Despite being called a safari tour, we also experienced the cultural side of the Masai people. All the Kenyans we encountered were kind and very helpful.

I would certainly make use of Jamlan's services if we visited Kenya again and recommend Jamlan to my friends and family

5/5

Amazing 4-day Masai Mara safari experience! Our tour was extremely well planned and organised, making the entire trip smooth and enjoyable. We had incredible wildlife sightings, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and more. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the experience truly unforgettable. The beautiful landscapes and amazing game drives were the highlight of our Kenya trip. Highly, highly recommend this safari — definitely an experience worth having!

Top-notch custom gorilla trekking with prompt, professional service!
5/5

Highly recommend New Horizon Africa Safaris! They were the fastest to respond among five operators we messaged and easily customized a two-day gorilla trekking itinerary for our group of four adults, including an overnight stay in Musanze. Communication was seamless throughout.

Our driver/guide was punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable about the regions we passed through. The vehicle was very comfortable for the 3+ hour drive, with thoughtful breaks along the way. Fantastic service from start to finish!

A Preserve worth Preserving
5/5

My wife and I visited South Africa in late August. We visited Royal Morubishi Preserve and Cape Town. The staff , accommodations, and experince were excellent. Everyone you meet is pleasant and go out of their way to ensure you want for nothing. Issy, our guide, was extremely knowledgable regarding all of the animals and their habits, frequently stopping to explain nuances regarding what we were seeing. The animals were plentiful and the preserve lives up to its name by practicing conservation and responsible animal husbandry. We managed to see the big five but the supporting cast of birds and animals is also amazing. Fellow travellers were pleasant and added to the quality of the experience.

Great itinerary and knowledgeable driver
5/5

The 12 day safari itinerary was well planned to hit all the best locations (maybe could have entered Serengeti from Maasai Mara to avoid backtracking through Nairobi to go to Amboseli).
Our driver Mufasa for the Kenyan side was extremely knowledgeable and has good contacts in the parks to find all the best animals and views. This was my first time in Africa and I saw the big 5 and then some!

Unforgettable 16-Day Custom Kenyan Safari with Odyssey!
5/5

We recently returned from a custom 16-day safari in Kenya organized by Odyssey Safari, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. From start to finish, the logistics were handled with incredible care. Our flights booked through Kenya Airways were seamlessly planned, making long-distance travel completely stress-free. The accommodations throughout the journey were overall exceptionally well-appointed—we had just one minor blip at one property, but it hardly put a damper on what was otherwise a flawless, high-end experience.
What elevated this adventure from a great trip to an extraordinary one, however, was our phenomenal team: our driver/guide, Erastus, and our photographer, John.
Erastus is hands-down the best driver and guide you could ask for on the savanna. His driving skills across tough terrain are top-tier, and his ability to spot wildlife is uncanny—he found us a unbelievable density and variety of animals. What we appreciated most was his balance and intuition: he possesses vast knowledge about the wildlife and local ecosystems, yet he never overwhelmed us with a non-stop talk track. He shared fascinating, insightful details when it mattered most, allowing us to absorb the quiet magic of the bush in between.
Having John as our dedicated photographer was an absolute game-changer. Instead of constantly viewing the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife through a camera lens or worrying about capturing "the shot," John’s expertise allowed us to be fully present in every moment. Knowing we would have professional-quality photos of our safari gave us total peace of mind to just sit back, watch, and take it all in.
If you are considering a custom safari in Kenya, we cannot recommend Odyssey Safari highly enough. Ask for Erastus and John—they truly made this an unforgettable journey!

Approachable, reliable, and competent. Excellent.
5/5

A fantastic experience.
From the very beginning, the Kibo agency was helpful and accommodating regarding all my needs.

Everything was excellent—from the driver and the guide to the entire Kibo team.

Price, quality, availability—everything you need for peace of mind and to make the most of your safari.

I recommend this agency to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.

Top quality

The ONE and ONLY
5/5

Rika and Melissa were both very professional; informative and helpful with all our questions in the pre tour period. Melissa also checked in throughout the tour to make sure all were fine! All the flights - international and internal were good. The transfers from and to the lodges were on time and enjoyable. The staff at the lodges all knew Rika in person - and made sure that our visits were memorable in all aspects.

We often plan overseas trips, but forget or don't know what exceptional destinations we have on our own African continent. Tanzania blew our minds away on this special family holiday celebrating a 70th birthday - the friendly people; the save environment; the healthy, hearty meals with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables with every meal (the roads are lined with fruit and vegetable gardens) and wonderful meat dishes; the hospitality of all the lodges' staff; the prime positions of the lodges and then off course, what nature offered.

We were privileged to visit the Tarangire National Park; The Ngorongora Crater; Central and Northern Serengeti. The vast expanses with thousands of animals and various "lifers" for our birders are instilled in our memories forever and ever. The rangers were exceptional - with their knowledge; their humour and banter and stories.

We will most definitely visit again!! With the help of Explore Plus Travel
