Bruce made our Uganda safari unforgettable. He is punctual, knowledgeable & a great driver!
5/5

We just completed an unforgettable 12-day safari through Uganda with Wildmist Adventures. Bruce was incredibly attentive throughout, always making sure we felt comfortable and had everything we needed.

When it mattered, tight timings for gorilla trekking, game drives, park entries, he was punctual every single time, which made a huge difference to how smoothly the trip ran.

Bruce's knowledge of Uganda's wildlife, parks, and culture was outstanding. On top of that, he's a fantastic driver, confident and safe on some genuinely challenging roads, which gave us total peace of mind.

From Murchison Falls to the gorillas in Bwindi to the calm of Lake Bunyonyi, every leg of the journey was well organized and full of amazing moments.

We highly recommend Bruce and Wildmist Adventures to anyone planning a Uganda safari!

It’s all about a good guide!!
5/5

We had an absolutely amazing five-day safari, and a huge part of what made the experience so special was our guide, Humphrey.

Humphrey was an outstanding guide from start to finish. He knows an incredible amount about the animals, their behavior, and the entire ecosystem. Thanks to his experience and incredible eye for spotting wildlife, we were able to see so many amazing animals – including all of the Big Five!

Our safari took us through some of Tanzania’s most incredible places. On the first day, we explored Tarangire National Park, followed by two unforgettable days in the Serengeti National Park. We spent the night at Simba Camp, which was an adventure in itself. Having wild animals around the camp during the night made the experience even more exciting and unforgettable.

On the fourth day, we visited the Ngorongoro Crater, where we were once again amazed by the incredible wildlife and scenery. On our final day, we explored Lake Manyara National Park, which was the perfect ending to an already incredible safari.

What really stood out throughout the entire trip was Humphrey. He was not only extremely knowledgeable and experienced, but also friendly, patient, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He always knew where to look and was incredibly good at spotting animals that we would have completely missed ourselves. He also explained everything in such an interesting and understandable way, which made us appreciate every sighting even more.

The five days were an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t have wished for a better guide. If you are planning a safari in Tanzania, we can highly recommend Humphrey. He truly made our safari something very special!

Eric Nsengiyuma was prompt, friendly and very professional.
5/5

Reagan was my first contact when booking the 4 days Rwanda Chimpanzees and Gorilla trekking safari. She answered all my inquiries promptly and thoroughly. I did have a lot of inquiries because I was traveling solo. So I felt at ease about the arrangements.
My tour operator, Eric Nsengiyuma, was awesome. He was reliable, prompt and friendly with a great sense of humor. He made my trip something I'll remember for a lifetime. I highly recommend him!!! I was rather sad when the tour ended.

An unforgettable 5-day Kenya safari – highly recommended!
5/5

Our five-day Kenya safari was nothing short of memorable and went above and beyond our expectations. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, along with so much other incredible wildlife and scenery throughout the trip.

A special mention must go to Mimi Kelvin, our fantastic driver and tour guide. He was brave, knowledgeable, helpful and always brought such good vibes to every day of the safari. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him, and he always made sure we were comfortable, safe and in the best possible position to see the animals. He played a huge part in making this trip so special.

The only disappointing part of the experience was our stay at Lake Naivasha Resort. Unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations, and based on our experience, we would not recommend paying extra to upgrade to Option 4, as we did not feel it was worth the additional cost.

Aside from this, the safari itself was absolutely incredible. Seeing the Big Five in their natural habitat was a dream come true, and the entire experience exceeded everything we had imagined. We will remember this trip for the rest of our lives. Thank you again to Mimi Kelvin for making it such an unforgettable adventure!

It was our first trip to Masai Mara, the trip was very nicely organised by Alfred from Iyana africa tours, guided me all the time on the choices and pricing part, during the safar he kept checking on how our safari is going and wheather we are comfortable and enjoying gje safari or not and if any issue where he can assist, this is very commendable and highly appreciated.

Our guide Mr. Komora has been an amazing person who drove us everywhere and very nice person to talk to, very good knowledge of the places, park and most amazingly about Animals, he gave us all required details, information and he was very kind and happy with our kids, he become best friend with our younger son who asked him like thousand of questions and he was very nice with him..

I would highly recommend Iyana Africa tours for safari trip and Komora as your go to guide anytime.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An incredible experience in Uganda with NGONI Safaris

Today we finished our safari in Uganda, and I’m leaving with the feeling that I’ve experienced one of those trips I’ll remember for a very long time. The itinerary was very complete and allowed us to discover completely different places and landscapes: Murchison Falls, Kibale, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi and Lake Bunyonyi. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife, went chimpanzee trekking and, of course, experienced one of those moments that stay with you forever: coming face to face with mountain gorillas in Bwindi.

The lodges were also a really lovely part of the trip. Each one had something special and they all fitted perfectly into the itinerary: from Tilenga Safari Lodge in the Murchison Falls area, to Turaco Treetops surrounded by forest, Enshama, Dorotia’s in Bwindi and finally Milele Lodge overlooking beautiful Lake Bunyonyi. It was wonderful to see the landscape and accommodation change as we travelled through the country.

But if I have to highlight one person above everyone else, it has to be Steven Schumacher, our “small boss” 😂. I honestly don’t think we could have had a better companion for this trip. As a driver, he is incredible. He managed to take us along some roads that, to be honest, I’m not sure should even be called roads 😂, and he did it with incredible skill, patience and, above all, safety. I never felt unsafe, even on the most challenging journeys.

As a guide, he was fantastic too. Always alert to every animal, making sure we didn’t miss anything and always happy to explain everything we were seeing. But what I will remember most about Steven is the person he is. He was warm, funny, polite, incredibly attentive and always so caring towards us. We had some great conversations, lots of laughs and many moments that we’ll probably remember for a very long time. And in the end, that’s what makes a trip go from being simply a good trip to becoming a truly special one.

Steven, thank you for taking such good care of us, for your patience, the conversations, the laughs and for making sure that even after hours on the road, we still felt ready for another adventure. 😂 It was a real pleasure having you as our driver, guide and travel companion. Our “small boss” has definitely earned a special place in our memories of Uganda. ❤️

And thank you to the whole NGONI Safaris team for organising this trip and making everything run so smoothly. I’m leaving Uganda with incredible memories, thousands of photos, a few sore muscles after the trekking 😂 and, above all, the feeling that I’ve had a truly wonderful experience.

Thank you for everything, NGONI. And thank you, Steven, for making this trip even more special. ❤️🇺🇬🦍

If I ever come back to Uganda, I really hope I get to meet my “small boss” again. Because after seven days together… he’s definitely become part of the trip! 😂
