If you want your first Africa trip to feel effortless, personal, and beyond amazing, go with Robert
We cannot say enough wonderful things about African Adventure Travellers and Robert! From the moment we touched down at Arusha Airport, we were welcomed with the warmest smile and hospitality that immediately set the tone for the entire trip. As four young American women traveling to East Africa for the very first time, safety and trust were our top priorities, and Robert and his team exceeded every expectation.
Robert was incredibly communicative from the very beginning, patiently answering all of our questions while helping us build a personalized itinerary that combined Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda seamlessly. Throughout the trip, he continued to check in on us to make sure everything was going smoothly, which made us feel cared for and reassured at every step.
Our drivers and guides were absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, kind, and always making sure we felt safe and comfortable. We loved every place we stayed; the lodges and camps were thoughtfully chosen, each with its own charm, and we always felt well taken care of.
This was truly the trip of a lifetime—one filled with breathtaking safaris, unforgettable gorilla trekking, and so many memories we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to Robert and African Adventure Travellers for making our dream adventure a reality. We couldn’t imagine a better team to trust with such a special journey, and we would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone considering East Africa.

Wonderful
Our ten-day East African safari, spanning five days in Kenya and five in Tanzania, was an unforgettable journey.
Our Kenyan guide, Jake, provided outstanding service. His polite and accommodating nature ensured all our needs were met, making our time in Kenya, including a wonderful visit to the Masai Mara Reserve, both seamless and enjoyable.
The Tanzanian portion of our tour was expertly guided by Edward Mbise. Edward proved to be an exceptional guide, whose profound knowledge greatly enriched our experience. He frequently utilized a visual guide to detail the animals and trees we encountered.

Reliable, professional, knowledgable - perfect!
Bamboo Eco Tours organized a 4-Day Uganda Gorilla & Golden Monkey Fly-In Safari for our family of 5. The trip exceeded our expectations! Bamboo Eco Tours provided complete, accurate information and perfect execution of our gorilla trek tour from my initial inquiry through to dropping us back at the airport at the end of the tour.
I researched many companies for a gorilla trek in Uganda before deciding whole heartedly on Bamboo Eco Tours. Edison answered all my questions (and there were many!) quickly and thoroughly, offering options that I hadn’t considered. Once I had decided on the tour, all the flights, permits and accommodation bookings were quickly completed and I was kept informed at every step.
We landed in Kisoro and met our driver Jackson, a lovely, kind person who immediately put us at ease with his friendly, outgoing manner and great sense of humour. Jackson was very knowledgeable and shared information on Ugandan culture, customs and daily life. We are very appreciative of the effort he made to make our trip memorable.
We chose Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge for our first 2 nights - the cabins are beautifully appointed and maintained, meal options varied and well prepared and the service team truly engaging. Lake Mulehe Safari Lodge accommodation was a little tired in comparison to Ichumbi but offered stunning views of the lake.
I highly recommend Bamboo Eco Tours - wonderful people at every step. Thank you so much Jackson and Edison - you helped create wonderful memories for our family in your beautiful country!

An average agency
The 8-Day Northern Parks Budget Safari Tent was an average trip. Some aspects could be improved to ensure a better or five-star experience.
The driver was an average driver, but they were not a guide. The information provided was minimal and they showed little initiative. Another thing that could be improved is the tour's organization. Some stops, like the Ngare Sero Waterfalls and the Flamingo Lake walk, could be combined into a single day instead of over several days. Their proximity, the easy walk, and the short duration of the excursions would allow for more time to fully explore Serengeti National Park and observe the animals.
Overall, the trip was nothing special. However, if you are looking for a special experience and a guide who provides at least some information, I recommend evaluating other agencies.

It went beyond my expectations. We could spot lots of animals.
I went with some friends, our expectations were high, but it exceeded them by far.
During the safari, Said the driver, help us a lot spoting the animals, without him it would have been impossible to find the 90% of them. A lot of information, we could even try local food.
The meal was great.
We would like to do it again.

We would do it again a hundred times over
We booked a 6-days safari with Dancing Simba and everything was perfect! We went to Tarangire, 2 days in Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Eyasi to visit the local tribes. We saw every animal imaginable: we couldn't have asked for anything better.
Alì was an excellent guide and driver, we couldn't ask for more! He was very good at spotting animals so far away and told us many curiosity about them and about Tanzania, he was willing to accommodate all our requests.
We selected standard accomodations and eveything was up to our expectation.
A big thank you also to Lucy for the support before and during our tour, she was super kind to answer all our questions and requests.
We would do it again a hundred times over!
