Fantastic Experience
Our time in Uganda was made truly unforgettable thanks to our guide, Francis from Nature Connect Safaris. From the moment we met him, his warm personality, professionalism, and genuine passion for his country made us feel welcome.
Francis, who became Franky to us Australians, has an incredible knowledge of Uganda’s wildlife, birds, landscapes, and culture, and he was always happy to share interesting facts and answer our many questions. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience, whether it was finding incredible wildlife, suggesting the best places for photos, or making sure every part of our journey ran smoothly.
What impressed us most was Francis’s patience, kindness, and attention to detail. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he always made us feel safe, relaxed, and well looked after. His enthusiasm for showcasing the beauty of Uganda was infectious and made every day an adventure.
We would highly recommend Francis and Nature Connect Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Uganda. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring guide who will make your holiday truly special, Francis is the person to ask for. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

Can’t be better !
We obviously chose Smiles based on testimonials from those who had already had this experience, and I can say those accounts were actually understated. Albert and Emiliana’s company delivers a product of exceptional quality, making for an unforgettable experience. A key factor in making this possible—beyond Smiles' professionalism and infrastructure—was our guide/driver, Stanley. He possesses extensive knowledge of the Serengeti, backed by 12 years of experience. Punctual, available, and well-informed, with an incredible eye for spotting the park's wildlife, having him with us for four days was a pleasure.

Fantastic driving tour of 3 countries in Southern Africa
Africa Zim was our first experience traveling to Africa. I cannot really express how perfect this trip was. Our driver and guide Ronald was exceptional and beyond helpful. He was knowledgable, funny, caring and everywhere we went people new him.
Communications were ideal in that AfricaZim got back to us immediately and the pricing was very reasonable. We started our safari travels in Windhoek,Namibia where Ronald met us at the airport. We took off and drove through Namibia and the Namib desert which was gorgeous.Then up the lower Skeleton coast to see the Cape fur seals. Our hotels were incredibly upscale, comfortable and our guide made as many stops as we needed along the way. The people at hotels and outings were incredibly happy, friendly and interested in our welfare. We continued on to Botswana and Etosha National Park, Moremi Game Reserve and to Chobe National Park. The safaris were excellent and we saw Zebras, elephants, lions (male and female), cheetah, giraffes and hippos, Kudu, Springbok, warthogs, ostrich, etc.. Africa Zim scheduled evening sunset cruises for us and these were spectacular. Another great suggested stop was the Okavango River and delta. Our outing in dug-out canoes on the Okavango delta was exciting as we were near hippos in the water and we had a great hike on one of the many islands in the delta. We continued to Zimbabwe and Victory Falls. Everything they planned for us was accomplished. Every time I emailed before the trip with questions they responded quickly. My husband and I are planning another trip to Tanzania and we will definitely use Africa Zim. Our first experience in Africa was perfect because of their planning.

An Outstanding Safari with Exceptional Service and Expert Guides
Thanks to our guide’s excellent tracking skills, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five, as well as rare animals such as black rhinos, African wild dogs, and cheetahs.

Good
Communication great, logistic arrangements, safari, guide all good
Only thing we disliked is the picnic lunch that felt like home cooked meal( for both days). Felt quite unprofessional when compared to other operators who provided proper individual meal boxes with lunch, snack, drink and fruit.

Excellent service and guides
Aquí tienes la reseña con una mención especial al guía Pasco:
We had a wonderful safari experience with Enjoy Rejoice Adventures. The highlight of the trip was seeing the Big Five, along with many other amazing animals. The parks, wildlife, and overall experience exceeded our expectations and created memories that will last a lifetime.
A special thanks goes to our guide, Pasco, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and always did his best to ensure we had the best possible safari experience. Thanks to his experience and dedication, we were able to spot an incredible variety of wildlife and learn a lot about the animals and the parks.
We booked the mid-range safari package. In our opinion, only three of the five accommodations truly matched what we would consider mid-range. However, we also recognize that we should have reviewed the hotels more carefully before confirming the booking.
One thing we really appreciated was the support we received whenever an issue arose. Mary was always available, responded quickly, and helped resolve any concerns efficiently. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and customer service made a significant difference throughout the trip.
All meals were included, which was very convenient. As a suggestion for improvement, it would be nice to have more variety in the menu, as many meals were quite similar, often consisting of chicken and rice.
Overall, we would recommend Enjoy Rejoice Adventures. We had a fantastic safari, saw incredible wildlife, and received excellent support from both Pasco and Mary. While there are a few details that could be improved, they do not take away from what was ultimately a memorable and enjoyable experience.

Incredibly organised and very quick to respond.
We had an incredible safari with Full Package Adventures. Everything was incredibly organised and communication was clear, with the company being quick to respond.
During safari, our guide Festo, was very professional and knowledgable about the animals and the environment. He worked tirelessly so we could see what we had on our bucket list. Festo made the trip an unforgettable experience and made our safari extra special. It was a trip of a lifetime and one as a family we will always treasure.

Highlight of the trip
We could not have selected a better company than Mateo for our first safari experience. From the beginning, we felt welcomed and well taken care of. Eric was an amazing guide throughout our 6d/5n safari from Mombasa that included both Tsavos, Taita Hills and Amboseli. He is an excellent and safe driver, very knowledgeable about African wildlife – his degree in biology certainly shows – and a great communicator. He also connected wonderfully with our 13yo son, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We also really appreciated meeting Patrick upon our arrival in Nairobi. His warm welcome and help in resolving our immediate issues made us feel comfortable in the city from the start. We definitely recommend Mateo to anyone planning a safari!

Excellent knowledge of Namibia and exceptional service
We toured independently camping and staying in chalets and glamping sites booked by Tokkie. Our trip exceeded our expectations. Tokkie checked in daily and followed up on any issues we had. Scenery and wildlife viewing throughout our travels was amazing. Our wildlife viewing in Etosha was exceptionally. Tokkie helped plan our route and provided detailed route information. Don’t travel Namibia without Tokkie Travel!

Hwange - Chobe - Livingstone - Vic Falls
We had a very good time with our guide, Bheki.
Before the trip startet communication with adventure on wheels was absolutely satisfying. Every question was answered directly. Paying process was secured.
During the trip we never regretted. Bheki was driving really safely and he managed every situation very well. It took not a lot time and our 8-year-old-son made friends with Bheki.
To sum it up: we would book again and highly recommend Adventures on wheels.
