great 10 days and one of our best safaries
We have just spent 10 days on Uganda safari with Africa Tours Adventure. It was one of our best safaries and we were 100% satisfied with it. Highlights were Murchison falls NP with boat trip, Kigale NP with chimpansees, Bwindi NP with gorilla tracking. But also Mgahinga NP with golden monkey tracking, Lake Mutanda and Rwanda experience with Kigali genocide memorial were great places to see. Planning our route, choosing the accomodation, securing all permits, arranging our departure from Rwanda, there was always quick Nicholas response and very reasonable advice. But the best of all was Barnabas, our guide. Excellent driver, wise ,nice man, with knowledge not only of Uganda and itś beauties. We felt perfectly safe in his hands and we felt, that he would do enything to secure the best for us. His attitude was profesional as well as practical and the whole safary experience was very nice and comfortable. We also think, that the value for money was very reasonable. Thank you Nicholas and Barnabas and hope to see you again.

Amazing operator who went above and beyond for us
Amazing experience. Mike took care of everything and responded to all my questions immediately. Rama, Saba and Vincent were amazing guides. The lodging was first rate. Very, very affordable compared to other operators but still had the same or better experience. Could not recommend more.

Festo was the ABSOLUTE BEST tour guide we could ever for!! He was knowledgeable, patient, and did everything he could to make us have the most memorable experience yet! This company went above and beyond to schedule just what we wanted, listened to our interests, and planed everything around that. They have amazing communication and responsiveness and made us feel very well taken care of. The value is amazing and we feel like it was the best money spent.

Another perfectly organized and managed 8 days safari
We were a family group of 7 persons on this safari. It has been perfectly organized and managed even when Lion King had to adjust the program due to the impact of the starting rainy season : heavy rain made some track impassable cutting the access to Ndutu area from the Serengeti.
Our drivers were excellent both has guides and drivers and we never felt in danger.
The visit to the Hadzabes and Datoga tribes were fascinations extensions and left lasting memories to both adults and children.
The camps were offering an excellent comfort and food and we all appreciated the presence of all kind of animal around and sometimes inside the camp!
This was our third safari tous with Lion King Adventures and we can only applaud the choice of this operator.

An unforgettable private safari for couples.
My partner and I booked with Civet Adventures Safari and the experience was better than we ever imagined. Our main goal was to see leopards in the wild and our guide actually found one resting on a tree branch for us. We sat there for a long time just enjoying the view without any other cars around which made it feel very special. The vehicle was in great condition and handled the bumpy Tanzanian roads with ease. It was clear that our guide had years of experience because he knew exactly where the animals would be hiding. Everything from the booking to the actual drive felt very personal and relaxed. If you are looking for a reliable team that provides a real connection to nature then this is the right choice for your trip.

Amazing safari experience for a great price, very reliable tour operator
My 13-day budget safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Pedaso Safaris was an incredible experience and I can definitely recommend booking through David and his company!
Both Kenya and Tanzania are beautiful countries and the tour itinerary is well-planned, covering many highlights.
David was very helpful and outstanding in terms of communication throughout the booking process and while on safari. Our group encountered some issues with the safari vehicle on the first day of the tour, which resulted in missing the afternoon game drive in Masai Mara that was scheduled for that day. While this was disappointing, David did everything in his power to resolve the situation and the next day, we had an extended full day game drive in Masai Mara.
Since this was a group-joining budget safari, meaning that you share a safari vehicle with other people who booked through different tour companies, David of course had limited influence and had to coordinate with the other operators. Still, he did an amazing job and successfully made sure that we got value for our money.
Booking a budget safari I expected very basic accommodation and food. However, almost all of the camps/lodges/hotels were super comfortable with good service and very tasty food and far exceeded my expectations!
The trip really was wonderful with so many breathtaking sightings and it was definitely more than I expected for this price.

Once in a lifetime
We were a family of 3 people: my 64 old dad, my sister and me, all with the same dream, to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. We experienced the best trip of our lives where our guides, Choda and Philemon made everything possible. All the team was amazing, at the end felt like family. We loved the whole experience: tasting Tanzanian food, learning suahili, laughing with porters and of course reaching Uhuru Peak. Do not hesitate to climb with this company if you want to have a unique experience.

Great value for money and fast replies
We did the 13-day Kenya and Tanzania budget safari, and it did not disappoint! The itinerary is perfect for anyone wanting to explore all the major parks in both countries and experience as much as possible in two weeks. We saw countless animals and truly enjoyed each day of the tour!
The food was delicious and exceeded our expectations, especially considering this was a budget tour. Most of the accommodations were also great, with Buraha Zenoni Hotel and Charity Hotel standing out in particular. We did encounter some vehicle issues on the first day of the tour, but they were resolved on the same day, and that was the only day affected. David’s customer service was top-notch. He was always available before and during the safari, frequently checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly.
One important thing to note is that budget tours are typically group-joining safaris, meaning multiple tour operators share vehicles and guides, with different clients from various operators coming together in one vehicle. As a result, you won’t always have the same group or driver for the entire trip. The schedule/activities can sometimes be different from the description in the quote, for us the order of some days in Tanzania was changed so that the time in the parks did not always fit the description. However, some of this allows the budget pricing, which offers the best value for money I found. I compared several tour operators before choosing Pedaso Safaris, and David’s combination of 24/7 availability and affordable prices really stood out. I also appreciated that David organized private airport and border transfers at no extra cost!
Initially, I was a bit hesitant about booking with a smaller local tour operator, but it was definitely the right decision. 100% recommend Pedaso Safaris!

Absolutely Fabulous and Faultless 4-Day Safari!
This was our first safari, so we contacted a few different companies for quotes before making our decision. We had read the very positive reviews about Mountain Warriors and Rehema replied to our initial inquiry promptly with a very comprehensive and comparable quote. She quickly answered all of our many questions before we finally decided to book our safari with Mountain Warriors. We opted for a 4-day mid-range private safari with a photographer, visiting Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti. We felt completely safe and comfortable throughout and the whole experience far exceeded our expectations! Yona was a perfect guide and Herman took some fabulous photos. Yona is very knowledgeable and great fun too; we learnt such a lot from him. He expertly navigated us to all the perfect spots to observe the animals and we had no problem at all ticking off the "Big 5" and the "Ugly 5"! Yona is an accomplished driver with amazing eyesight too! We were really impressed with his ability to spot all the wildlife as we were driving along the tracks. The accommodation was beautiful and far better than we were expecting and all the picnic lunches and meals at the lodges were delicious. We would highly recommend anyone to book a safari with Mountain Warriors.

Very accommodating and understanding
I had to bring my safari tour earlier and Benjamini from African Platinum Safari was very helpful and understanding. I managed to go to the safari earlier so I could head back home sooner for a family emergency.
I had Barnabas as my tour guide on this private tour, he was very entertaining and he was able to give me enough time to take photos. I would recommend this tour operator to future guests.
