From affable professional to new friend on the trip of a lifetime
If you are reading this, trying to decide if you should book a safari with Bush Craft Safaris, allow me to allay any apprehension. BCS provided an absolutely amazing safari experience for my wife and I. We booked a 12 day safari with them. Our guide was Allan, and he was absolutely incredible. Allan was incredibly knowledgeable about the fauna and flora in his native national parks, often pointing out details and bits of information about the animals we saw that heightened the experience for us. Furthermore, he was an excellent driver and had deep knowledge of the parks we visited, which I believe helped us to see some things we might not have otherwise. Allan took excellent care of us, making sure we got everywhere we needed to on time, while also allowing us to spend as much time seeing the sights as we wanted. He was incredibly amenable to any slight alterations to the schedule we discussed with him. Also, he made sure we always had water and snacks (every day is a banana day). The accommodation that BCS booked for us was absolutely lovely, with nearly every location providing an experience that really immersed you in the feeling of being on an adventure and being so close to the surrounding natural beauty of Uganda. The food at every location was good, with some places having truly excellent dinners and lunches available. There was a nice mix of local cuisines and western food available nearly everywhere we went. Locals and staff we met were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The children were very cute and hilarious, often eyes going wife and shouting “mzungu!” excitedly and then waving emphatically. As far as wildlife, we saw nearly everything we could have hoped to. We were able to see the Big 5 and so many elephants, hippos, giraffe, crocodiles, monkeys, antelope, zebra and birds. Not to mention the countless other encounters of other wildlife ranging from mongoose to civet. Then of course the trekking days to see the chimpanzees, gorillas and golden monkeys were the highlights of the trip for us. Being able to see these majestic beings was truly something I will carry with me for the rest of my life. The only negative I can think of is that the trip was truly over too soon.
As an extra note I would like to add that we visited during the recent Ebola outbreak. I feel it’s worth saying that Uganda is truly doing an excellent job to contain the outbreak and ensure the safety of its citizens and tourists alike. Nearly everywhere we went there were temperature check stations, and hand sanitizer/hand wash stations were readily available. Obviously everyone must make their own risk assessments, but it was our own personal experience that the risk was low and well controlled.
Truly I cannot say enough about how amazing with trip was. 10/10 rating and Bush Craft Safaris provided an experience second to none.

Jungleroam safaris managed very well the budget safari I chose, made me feel not in a budget trip.
I found Jungleroam Safaris from the safari bookings website. Since the first day I communicated with them, the staff very responsive and replied my email promptly. When I arrived in town to start safari on the next day, they reached me out to inform about the program and who will pick me up! So responsible. With the budget I spent - less than 1000 USD - I am overall satisfied with the tour. Our driver, John Walter, was very knowledgeable and cooperative, than made the tour so effective. I definetely will recommend others to use Jungleroam safaris!

Well organized Safari with excellent personal service
We booked a two-day safari to Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater with Pumba Reisen, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.
The communication with Careen before the trip was excellent. Everything was well organized, and she answered all of our questions quickly, so we felt well prepared before the safari even started.
During the safari, Eduard was our driver and guide. He was a safe and calm driver, but above all a very knowledgeable guide. He shared a lot of interesting information about the wildlife, nature, and the parks. We also really enjoyed our conversations about Tanzanian culture and everyday life, which made the experience even more personal and memorable.
The lunches were delicious, and the accommodation was comfortable and well arranged.
Overall, everything was organized perfectly from start to finish. We highly recommend Pumba Reisen to anyone looking for a well-organized safari with excellent personal service. Thank you, Careen and Eduard, for an unforgettable experience!

fantastic tour guide, Captain James
I've always wanted to go on a safari in Tanzania at least once in my life, and my dream came true! It felt like I was stepping into the world of The Lion King, and it was an exciting and fascinating safari experience unlike anything I've ever had in my daily life!

Fantastic experience that I would recommend without hesitation — with just one accommodation caveat
Highlights
The decision to do a private tour was absolutely worth it. The flexibility, personalised attention, and pace made a real difference compared to group tours. The hotels in Nairobi and Nakuru were excellent — well above expectations in terms of comfort, cleanliness, and service.
The One Exception
The camp arranged for the Masai Mara leg — Enchoro Wildlife Camp — was a significant step down but it's not fault of the tourist operator
A Word on Local Vendors
Be aware that in certain stops, locals will approach you aggressively trying to sell crafts at wildly inflated prices — think $30 for items you can find at Nairobi airport for a fraction of the cost. This is not the operator's fault, but worth knowing so you're not caught off guard. Smile, decline, and move on.
Bottom line: A well-organised, worthwhile private safari experience.
A tour operator that goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome and valued
Casper was our guide and driver for our Chobe National Park day trip, and he was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we set off, he made us feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. His driving was excellent, and his knowledge of the area and wildlife made the journey even more enjoyable.
Casper was professional, friendly, and always happy to answer our questions. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience, making the trip smooth, enjoyable, and memorable from start to finish.
If you’re planning a trip to Chobe National Park, I highly recommend the Fuhara Safaris. They are exceptional guides and have amazing drivers who truly cares about their guests’ experience.
