The perfect way to spend our honeymoon, truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish.
In 30 years, if anyone asks about our honeymoon, this memory will be the first thing that comes to mind, it was truly the highlight of our trip. David was a legend, and his patience and knowledge made our experience fantastic.
Cpt. Ahmed was equally brilliant, both skilled and friendly throughout.
The rest of the team deserves a huge shout-out too, from the cameraman to the launch and landing crew, and the breakfast staff.
Every single person made this a truly memorable day.

Abantubo Safaris provided a well\-organised and enjoyable safari experience, with excellent guiding
We had an unforgettable seven-day safari in Uganda with Abantubo Safaris and couldn’t have asked for a better team.
A huge thank you to Nickson for creating such a well-planned itinerary and ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to relax and enjoy the adventure.
Our special thanks go to Jimmy, our driver and guide, who looked after us brilliantly throughout the entire trip. His driving was excellent — no small achievement on some of Uganda’s more adventurous roads — and his wildlife-spotting skills were exceptional. He went out of his way to make sure we saw the species we were most excited about.
Jimmy was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. For seven days, he was our driver, guide, wildlife expert and general keeper of two very happy tourists!
Every day incredible wildlife encounters brought something memorable. We had an amazing experience from beginning to end and would wholeheartedly recommend Abantubo Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Uganda. If you’re lucky enough to have Jimmy as your guide, you’ll be in excellent hands — his expertise, care and enthusiasm helped make our trip truly special.

Friendliest and professional
The Safari with Big Mama was organised very well: prompt communication, reliable pickup and drop off, excellent driver-guide. Good value for money, and an overall smooth delivery of the program.

Ben was knowledgeable, friendly, funny all the time letting us feel safe.
This was my first experience on a Safari. Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris worked with our large group where all of us felt special in our vehicle. We had well informed drivers that knew the land and of course the animals. They found sites for us to see that offered an outstanding expedition. I highly recommend them for your safari.
Ronnie was incredible, he put us in the best spots for pictures and took incredible care of us.
We had an incredible time with Beyond the Plains. Over ten days spend with Ronnie as our guide, and he was UNBELIEVABLE. Connections all around the reserves and he put us in fantastic spots to get photos. We even saw a leopard hunt an impala. What an incredible experience. I recommend asking for Ronnie specifically, he was truly fantastic.

Trip of a lifetime!
Msangai was able to provide a detailed itinerary with informed photos when we first reached out in booking our 6 day safari. Everything was handled well, smooth communication and transaction. Our driver during the trip was Emmanuel! He gave us the best time and service, he was very knowledgeable and educated as well. From the start to the end, he gave us the 100% and we enjoyed our honeymoon safari more because of him. he brought us to the best spots and viewing of the animals and especially during the river crossing.
If you are planning on a safari, I would request for Emmanuel to be your guide/ driver.

Professional organization + amazing guide
We are glad that we chose WildUganda to organize our trip in Uganda. The communication was very professional and they organized our trip very well in advance.
On the first day we met our guide Kasim. Kasim is an excellent guide and the reason safaribooking should add a 6th star. Kasim is a very enthusiastic guide with a passion for nature. He is a guide willing to go that extra mile to give you the best experience in Uganda. After a morning gamedrive + boat cruise on the Kazinga channel + afternoon gamedrive Kasim wanted to go back before it was getting dark to the place we saw leopards that morning to check if they were out. We really love that kind of efford. In addition he is a very knowledgable guide. We learned a lot from him about the different ethnic groups in Uganda and the nature. Another point we really appreciated was that Kasim always made clear that animal sightings are not guaranteed, in his words: ''If nature allows''. Something we will remember and tell our friends and family.
Even after our trip with Kasim ended, he woke up really early on his only day off to give us a ride to the busstation in Kampala. Something we will never forget.

An incredible experience!
We booked a 5-day safari covering Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro.
We saw many animals up close. We managed to spot the "Big Five," including the elusive leopard.
The staff's service was outstanding. Pascal, our guide, was always focused on ensuring we enjoyed ourselves; he actively searched for animals and taught us about them. He explains things with passion and expertise, and we learned a lot from him. I appreciate how he constantly strove to show us as many animals as possible and patiently answered the endless questions we asked. I also want to highlight Lucas, who ensured we were as comfortable as possible at the camp every day. He is a fantastic chef, every meal was hearty and delicious.
I recommend spending at least two nights in the Serengeti to truly enjoy this vast park, as the drives between camps can be long. Also, if you choose to visit Tarangire, make sure it is the first stop on your itinerary.
I am incredibly grateful to Suricata!
A note on what to avoid: I do not recommend the Maasai village visit. Fortunately, our group skipped it after hearing unpleasant accounts from others who had gone; they told us the Maasai were only interested in asking for money and selling handicrafts at exorbitant prices.
Regarding the Jevas Hotel, where we stayed for two nights: the breakfast was very basic. One afternoon at the restaurant, we ordered coffee, and—after paying for it—we had to prepare it ourselves (yes, they simply gave us a thermos of hot water and a packet of instant coffee). It is a shame that the hotel falls short of expectations, as it reflects poorly on the service provided by Suricata.

Incredible adventure - Hakuna Matata
Our 3-day Masai Mara safari was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Our guide -Peter Ndungu was simply outstanding - incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and always happy to share fascinating stories and insights about the animals and the Mara. He was also a fantastic driver, navigating the roads with great skill and making us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
My friend and I felt very well looked after from the very first moment. Nothing was too much trouble, and our guide really went the extra mile to make the experience special. And the best part - we saw everything we had dreamed of seeing!
Every game drive brought something exciting, and we came home with amazing memories and so many incredible photos

Outstanding Safari!
We just finished our 11 night safari with Beyond the Plains. It was outstanding. We visited four different areas in Kenya and had the time of our lives. All of our accommodations were excellent. Our driver, Ronnie, made the trip wonderful. His knowledge and professionalism were top notch. I would highly recommend Beyond the Plains.
