Amazing Experience and Great Service
If you’re trying to decide which operator to choose for exploring Uganda, I highly recommend Ibanga Expeditions! Able is incredibly helpful, kind, and very knowledgeable about the country. Everything ran smoothly, and whenever I needed anything, he was always there to assist.
The lodges were amazing, the car was very comfortable, and the food was excellent. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!
Every experience in the itinerary was top-notch, and everything was seamlessly coordinated.

Best in the business
I had an amazing journey across southern African countries. Etienne and Lorna from Wayfairer travels organised my entire itinerary with fabulous accommodations, locations and hosts. Everything went as per plan without any single issue throughout 15 days of my trip.

Desale was attentive, friendly and professional.
Desale was an incredible guide during my time in Ethiopia. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made every experience feel authentic and memorable. His passion for sharing the culture, history, and beauty of Ethiopia really stood out. My husband and I always felt safe, well taken care of, and genuinely welcomed. I highly recommend Desale to anyone looking for a meaningful and well guided trip. Ethio Top Land Tours was extremely organized and made the entire trip easy, smooth, and stress free from start to finish

Great
We just took a tour with Francis and his company. He was in contact with us way before our Safari. He had everything arranged with great hotels, food for Uganda that were very nice and at a reasonable price.His knowledge about the area and all the animals that we saw made our trip amazing. He has a great net work of associates that helped us all along the way.
I can’t recommend Francis enough if you are looking for a safari, Gorillas and Chimpanzees in Uganda. Thank you Francis.

Attentive
I just want to say thanks for everything to these amazing guys!
Team from Serengeti Wildlife Safaris made my trip unforgettable.
What I got organized: 3 days safari in 3 national parks, hot air safari ballon in Serengeti, airport transfer, short local city tour, amazing driver with great vibe, unforgettable experience in Tanzania, private tour in Zanzibar.
I was a solo female traveler. I had my worries about security in the country and etc.
But the team made my trip amazing. Every step of it was well prepared and organized. Safaris were safe. The guides were well-knowledge and provided a lol of info about wildlife.
Also I want to give big thanks to safari drivers. Although it was a rain seasons a little bit flooded, the drives knew well where to go or not to go. So we didn’t get stuck like other cars.
Another unexpected plus: although I took camping with lack of commodities, we had a team of great chefs who cooked and provided amazing local food during the whole trip. It was delicious
The only upside down was the hiking to Kilimanjaro mountain. I had not the best local guide. He had not the nice attitude. But next time ask for John, the head of the team. He will make it the best
After Safari I went to Zanzibar. It wasn’t an original plan. And the team provided me with a great guide there who listened to my needs. Swimming with dolphins was amazing
My overall opinion: I will ask for their serviced again as soon as go to Tanzania/ and will go for sure. I also recommend this team for solo female travelers. They will provide safe trip to you my ladies

One lifetime experience
We had a wonderful experience with this agency from the start of planning this trip till the end, and I’m sure other travelers will appreciate the level of service they provide. From start to finish, the communication was smooth, professional, and reliable, which made planning the trip stress-free.
The overall value for money was excellent. The food was good, the lodges were comfortable, and everything was well-organized throughout the journey.
A special mention to our guide, Ludovick, who was truly exceptional. He is highly experienced, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled at navigating the Serengeti roads. His professionalism and ability to anticipate our needs made the trip even more enjoyable. He went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had the best possible experience.
What made it even more special was that my son felt like he was living a real-life documentary almost like a 'National Geographic' experience. It was truly unforgettable for him.
Overall, it was a memorable safari, and if we have the chance, we would definitely do it again. I would highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable adventure.

Responsive, courteous, knowledgeable, and reliable.
Red Africa Safaris was top-notch in all respects. Their office staff was responsive and willing to answer all of my questions, including discussing possible modifications to the proposed itinerary and how that would affect cost. When I arrived, I got all that I paid for and more. My guide Jaco was reliable, courteous, and knowledgeable. The lodge that they arranged for in Greater Kruger was great and exactly what I was hoping for in terms of a wildlife experience. I'm sure I could have paid more for fancier accommodations, but I was looking for an experience of the geography and environment of Greater Kruger with knowledgeable and reliable guides, not for the latest hotel amenities, and I got precisely that.

Excellent service, comprehensive advice
While challenging, the Kilimanjaro trip was an enlightening experience. Opting for the off-season made the price affordable. I would recommend the 6-day itinerary over the 5-day one, as the extra rest day is crucial. Zanzi was exceptionally informative, offering thorough advice before the trek and detailed feedback afterwards.

Gorilla trekking: An Experience You’ll Remember for Life — Highly recommended!
I had a wonderful experience with Bugoli Adventures Limited. From the very beginning, Michael, the director, was incredibly thoughtful — as I was traveling alone as a woman, he proactively offered to arrange a female driver for me. That level of care and attention already set the tone for the whole trip.
I was picked up at Kigali airport by Patricia, a lovely and professional driver, who accompanied me all the way across the border towards Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda. We arrived at the lodge in the evening, which was simple but lovely (there was not hot water, though). The next morning, we headed early to the park. Both Patricia and Michael were extremely friendly, responsive, and flexible, which made everything smooth and easy.
The gorilla trekking experience itself was truly one of the most incredible things I’ve ever done in my life, I cannot recommend it enough. Seeing the gorillas up close is unforgettable, and I felt very safe during the treK (yes, it is very expensive, but this is how the park keep the gorillas safe and the groups small - we were only 6 seeing a family of over 10 gorillas with 4 rangers with us).
One thing to keep in mind is that the drive can be quite intense, with VERY exposed roads and somewhat unpredictable driving conditions (especially once we're getting closer to the park) , so I STRONGLY SUGGEST avoiding travel in the evening.
