Efficient, professional and nice
We booked a set of planes and trains for our 3 weeks trip along the Kenyan coast at the very last minute. Vera provided excellent services, all online, and was available throughout the trip to problem solve minor issues. I will keep using Peaks and Safaris to organise my trips in Kenya and advise my visitors to do the same.

After 60+ Countries, Sam Is the Best Guide We’ve Ever Had
I have traveled to more than 60 countries, and my partner, Haylee, has visited nearly 20. Sam is the best guide we have ever had. Our experience with Africa Horizon Safaris touched us deeply, and Uganda will always hold a special place in our hearts.
First, a heartfelt thank-you to Jacqueline. Long before we arrived, she helped coordinate and arrange this adventure with such kindness. She brought our plans together and paired us with Sam, which turned out to be one of the greatest gifts of the trip.
Sam was waiting when we arrived in Kigali, greeting us with a wonderful smile and helping with our bags. From those first moments, it felt like being welcomed by a brother. We immediately felt safe, comfortable, and confident that we and our belongings were in good hands.
As we traveled through Rwanda toward Uganda, Sam shared his knowledge of both countries and his own family connections to them. He helped us through the border and immigration process and arranged a lovely hot breakfast along the way. Whenever we needed something, whether a jacket, allergy medication, tissues, or a restroom stop, he helped make it happen. Those thoughtful acts allowed us to relax and enjoy the journey.
Before our chimpanzee trek, Sam spoke with the guides and helped get everything organized. The encounter was extraordinary. We were so absorbed in watching the chimpanzees that we lost track of time, and seeing other monkeys afterward made the experience even more memorable.
Our stay at Kiho Gorilla Safari Lodge, booked through Africa Horizon Safaris, was another highlight. It felt wonderfully luxurious, and the warm welcome from the team made us feel like family. We were treated like royalty. The next morning, Sam had everything ready for the next part of our adventure.
Then came the gorillas, an experience that is still emotional to think about. Haylee had especially hoped to see baby gorillas. Sam remembered that and communicated our wishes while helping coordinate with the park team. We were fortunate to visit a family with three infants and four silverbacks, finding them in less than an hour of trekking.
Seeing those babies and being in the presence of such magnificent animals was breathtaking. It was one of those moments you dream about for years, and suddenly you are standing there, living it. We felt incredibly fortunate. Sam’s attention to what mattered to us made the whole day even more personal.
The team’s care continued after we left him. When we realized we had a long wait before our flight from Entebbe, Africa Horizon Safaris helped arrange an additional experience. Duncan met us and took care of our transfers, and we enjoyed time at Hemingway’s Hotel, a beautiful sunset cruise aboard the African Queen, relaxing massages, and a wonderful dinner. Hours we might have spent waiting at the airport became another special memory of Uganda.
Although our time with Duncan was brief, he continued the warm, attentive service we had experienced throughout. Sam was also still checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly, even after we had said goodbye. That meant so much.
Across a trip filled with remarkable experiences, this journey touched our hearts in a way we will never forget. The wildlife was magnificent, and the kindness of the people made our time here deeply personal. We will always feel connected to Sam and grateful for the care he showed us.
Thank you, Jacqueline. Thank you, Duncan. And Sam, thank you for making us feel like family. Africa Horizon Safaris is our number one choice for returning to Uganda, and having Sam as our guide again is a must. If you are considering booking, we recommend them wholeheartedly. Ask for Sam. Five stars, with our deepest gratitude.

Outstanding experience (once in lifetime)!
An unbelievable safari experience from start to finish. We saw a diversity of wildlife I couldn't have imagined — including the full Big Five, plus countless other animals along the way.
None of it would have been as good without our guide, Salomon. He was generous with his time and knowledge, and consistently took us to the right spots at the right moments. His instinct for where the animals would be made the difference between a good safari and an unforgettable one.
The team at Sankale Camp were equally excellent — warm, welcoming and genuinely kind throughout our stay.
Highly recommended. Ask for Salomon.

Professional.
The safari was amazing! We saw many animals from really close distance, e.g elephant, giraffes and our personal favourite hyenas.
Our driver Modi is very nice and friendly guy, he told us a lot of interesting facts not only about the animals but also about Kenya. He was an important part of our positive experience.
Also the lodge and the camp we stayed in was very nice a clean with friendly employees and delicious food.
Honestly, this was one of the best experiences in our lives.

Such a good adventure
Our family had an amazing 3-day safari to Maasai Mara! Everything was well organised, from the pickup to the game drives. We enjoyed seeing lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and many other animals in their natural habitat. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made sure everyone in the family had a memorable experience. The beautiful landscapes and unforgettable wildlife encounters made this trip truly special. We highly recommend this safari to families looking for an incredible Kenyan adventure!
