Perfection
We had one of the nicest travel experience ever with Wild Uganda, Basically a dream came true seeing the Gorillas, the Golden monkeys, the boat safari, the walking safari, the car safari! A very important reason why our trip was incredible was also because of our guide, Innocent. Innocent is by far the best guide we’ve ever had on any trips we did. He has an incredible knowledge about wildlife, the cities, the culture and everything else related to his beloved country, Uganda. He surprised us with different activities that were not on the original planning, which made the experience even better! We asked him to go for a beer at a local bar in his hometown Kibale, and it really felt like he welcomed us to his home. We also went out in a nightclub in Uganda, it was amazing and you always feel super safe with Innocent. He is always making the efforts to provide an amazing experience that will just add more value to the whole package. No matter where you are in Uganda, innocent knows everyone!
We’ve been checking lots of different companies before booking with Wild Uganda, and one thing for sure we did the right choice !
We would really recomment booking with wild Uganda and asking to have Innocent as the guide!

An unforgettable Safari Trip with Gosheni
Our group of four spent 6 days with Gosheni Safaris, including 4 days inside the national parks. The trip was so memorable that we left wanting more.
On the first day, as soon as we exited the airport, we saw a staff member holding a sign with our name, ready to greet us. Their office is conveniently located right next to the exit of Kilimanjaro Airport. The guiding began sharing interesting facts about the region as soon as we got into the vehicle.
Throughout the entire journey, we felt completely safe and happy. The foods are all delicious. The vehicle was thoughtfully equipped with seat cushions, so our backs and legs never hurt— even on a day when we almost drove for 14 hours. Every morning, the vehicle was spotless inside and out, despite our shoes tracking in plenty of mud.
We are especially grateful to our guide, Bariki. He has a deep respect and awe for nature. We don’t like some vehicles get too close to the animals, as it feels disruptive to their natural lives. Bariki always kept a respectful distance while positioning us at the best possible angle for viewing. When we mentioned wanting to see a sunrise and sunset, he made a point of finding scenic spots with great composition — he clearly has a good eye for photography too!
We never had to worry about restroom breaks, Bariki arranged everything smoothly. He is intelligent, brave, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. His driving skills are excellent, and he taught us so much along the way. We joked that he should be the one training AI on animals and Tanzania!
This Safari was an incredible experience with friends. Next time if I come with my family, I’ll definitely choose Gosheni Safaris again.

Paul was professional, friendly and quick to respond to my many questions.
I had an unforgettable experience trekking up Mount Kilimanjaro with Life Journey Experience. From start to finish, the guide and crew were absolutely incredible—they genuinely looked after me every step of the way. Their knowledge of the mountain, professionalism, and constant encouragement made a challenging journey feel safe, supported, and truly special. They are real rockstars and clear experts at what they do. I’m so glad I took this journey, and choosing Life Journey Experience was 100% the right decision for me. Highly recommended.

They Turned Our Dream of Tanzania Into Reality 💛
We cannot recommend Tanzania Specialist highly enough! From the very first contact until the last moment of our journey, we felt completely taken care of.
Our travel consultant, Alice, created a truly special, tailor-made itinerary just for us. Every detail was perfectly planned — from safari adventures to our unforgettable days in Zanzibar. It was not just a standard program; it felt personal, thoughtful, and designed with heart. She listened to our wishes and turned them into a dream journey.
And then there was our guide, Njuru — absolutely fantastic! Professional, knowledgeable, kind, patient, and always smiling. Thanks to him, we didn’t just see Tanzania — we understood it. His deep knowledge of wildlife, nature, and culture made every game drive unforgettable. He answered every question, spotted animals we would never have seen ourselves, and made us feel safe and relaxed at all times. You can truly feel when someone loves their country — and Njuru does.
Throughout the entire trip, we felt supported and cared for. Everything ran smoothly. Transfers, lodges, timing — perfect organization. We could simply relax and fully enjoy the magic of Tanzania.
This was more than a vacation. It was a life-changing journey, and Tanzania Specialist made it seamless and extraordinary.
If you are dreaming about Tanzania — safari, culture, Zanzibar paradise — do not hesitate. You will be in the best hands.
Thank you for memories that will stay with us forever. 💛

An unforgettable Safari experience: exceptional from start to finish
My experience with Solo Safari Update was excellent from start to finish. Communication was incredibly fast and professional, Xavier sent two detailed quotes very quickly and answered all my questions right away. He was flexible, responsive, and very easy to deal with.
Everything was perfectly organized and reliable. The safari itself was unforgettable—our guide was amazing and went above and beyond to ensure we saw the Big Five, which we did on the very first afternoon! The hotels were fantastic, and the overall experience was outstanding.
I would recommend Solo Safari with my eyes closed!

Once in a lifetime experience.
I'm very grateful for our experience with Safari Vacations! We did a 4 day trip that included seeing the Rwandan Genocide Memorial in Kigali, a chimpanzee habituation trek in Kibale National Park, and a Gorilla trek in Bwindi National Park. Leading up to the trip, Jason, the Director, was very communicative and I appreciated his prompt responses to my questions. Darius, our guide and driver, was very kind and was responsible for picking us up from the airport and driving us to our destinations. I expected long travel days, but have to admit the days were longer than expected. I'm glad we went to Kibale but in retrospect I think I would have built in another stop or day to break it up a bit. It ended up being ~7.5H in the car to drive from Kigali to Kibale and then ~6H the following day to drive back down from Kibale to Bwindi. Seeing the chimpanzees was a cool experience, but seeing gorillas in Bwindi was what really made our trip memorable. Bwindi was a beautiful park and it was special getting to spend time with gorillas in their natural habitat.
The lodges we stayed in were definitely rustic but everyone was very kind and the food was good.
The trip was expensive, but I think considering seeing gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitat was a once in a lifetime experience it was worth it. I also appreciated that the money for the permits contributes both towards the animals' conservation and towards the local economy. All in all I would recommend Safari Vacations to friends and family!

Thanks to Gosheni and guide Huruma for taking us to experience a wonderful trip to Tanzania.
为期十天的坦桑尼亚之旅结束了，除了集齐非洲五霸、非洲五丑、非洲五美和很多动物幼崽之外，我们还非常幸运地看到花豹吃小角马、公母狮子吃野公牛、一群秃鹫抢食、大象斑马疣猪打架等超多高光名场面！
非常庆幸选择了大品牌Gosheni，所有的工作人员都非常靠谱，尤其是公司为我们推荐的向导Huruma，太感谢他了，没有他我们看不到这么多动物和名场面。
我将Huruma与其他向导对比发现，之所以他能带我们看到这么多动物主要是五个原因：
1.做这个工作二十多年了，以前是当地护林员，所以对当地各类动物、地形、气候十分熟悉，即使是泥泞路也开车超稳，从未出现卡泥地里或打滑等情况，可以快速平稳到达各种目的地。所有动物如数家珍，看到后立马可以将对应书本上的图片解说找出来给我们看。
2.性格温和绅士，人缘很好，不管是其他向导还是酒店员工都与他很熟悉，除了方便帮我们沟通之外，也可以及时获知第一手动物动态信息，带着我们第一时间赶到现场，并且抢占最佳视野位置，他很清楚动物接下来会干什么，所以总是提前选好方位，其他车辆都很羡慕我们。
3.视力非常好。第一天他带我们去看花豹，花豹躺在草丛里，我用望远镜都看着很费劲的时候，他直接用眼睛看，并告诉我花豹正在抬头看树上他挂着的食物。他很少用望远镜，但是肉眼就可以看到很多动物，可以边很稳地开车边告诉我们哪里有动物，只要停下来必然就是会看到动物。我们当天其他车辆的朋友都没有我们看到的动物多。
4.英语非常流利，没有地方口音，且会很多高端词汇，Huruma年轻的时候跟他的英国朋友生活在一起，所以一口英语十分流利，沟通毫无障碍，一路上一直在解说各种动物及当地本土文化等，也可以回答我们提出的各类问题，每天都会跟我们开玩笑和讲故事，氛围超级好。
5.责任心非常强。我们期间还定了热气球，热气球公司早上派来接我们的员工不小心车子卡住了，Huruma得知后二话没说一大早六点多从被窝里爬出来，睡衣都没换，直接车子开到飞起把我们带到了热气球营地，让我们赶上了乘热气球，很感动。
Safari行程结束分开的时候，我跟我朋友哭的稀里哗啦，很不舍得跟我们的向导Huruma分开，虽然以后大概率再也见不到他了，但是我们会一直记得他感谢他带我们经历这么精彩的非洲之旅。也希望他身体健康，生活得越来越好！
The ten-day trip to Tanzania is over. In addition to gathering the African Five Overlords, the African Five Ugly, the African Five Beauty and many animal cubs, we are also very lucky to see many famous scenes such as leopards eating horned horses, male and female lions eating buffalo , a group of vultures grabbing food, elephants, zebras and pigs fighting!
I'm very glad to choose the big brand Gosheni. All the staff are very reliable, especially Huruma, the guide recommended by the company for us. Thank him so much. Without him, we can't see so many animals and famous scenes.
I compared Huruma with other guides and found that there are five main reasons why he can take us to see so many animals:
1.He has been doing this job for more than 20 years. He used to be a local ranger, so he is very familiar with all kinds of local animals, terrain and climate. Even on muddy roads, He can drive very steadily. He has never been stuck in the mud or slipping, and he can reach various destinations quickly and smoothly. All animals are like treasures. After seeing them, he can immediately find the pictures in the corresponding book and show them to us.
2. He is gentle and gentlemanly and has a good relationship. Whether it is other guides or hotel staff, they are very familiar with him. In addition to helping us communicate, he can also get first-hand animal dynamic information in time, take us to the scene as soon as possible, and seize the best field of vision. He knows very well what the animal will do next. We always choose the direction in advance, and other vehicles envy us.
3. His eyesight is very good. On the first day, he took us to see the leopard. The leopard was lying in the grass. When it was hard for me to look at it with a telescope, he looked directly with his eyes and told me that the leopard was looking up at the food he was hanging on the tree. He rarely uses telescopes, but he can see many animals with the naked eye. He can tell us where there are animals while driving steadily. As long as he stops, he will definitely see animals. Our friends in other vehicles that day didn't have as many animals as we saw.
4. He is very fluent in English, has no local accent, and can speak a lot of high-end words. When Huruma was young, he lived with his British friends, so his English is very fluent and there are no obstacles to communication. He has been explaining various animals and local culture along the way, and can also answer all kinds of questions we asked. He will joke and tell us stories every day, and the atmosphere is super good.
5. He has a strong sense of responsibility. We also ordered a hot air balloon during this period. The staff sent by the hot air balloon company to pick us up in the morning accidentally got stuck. After learning about it, Huruma didn't say anything. He crawled out of the quilt at six o'clock in the morning and didn't change his pajamas. He drove directly to the fly and took us to the hot air balloon camp, allowing us to catch up with the hot air balloon. It was very Touched.
When we separated at the end of the Safari trip, my friend and I cried a lot. We were very reluctant to be separated from our guide Huruma. Although we will probably never see him again in the future, we will always remember him and t hank him for taking us through such a wonderful trip to Africa. I also hope he is healthy and his life is getting better and better!
