safari is a home away from home
while in Uganda, the truth about it being the pearl of Africa is reflected in its wild life, weather ,scenery among other things.
Uganda has got all kinds of delicious food stuffs that can sustain different tourists with different backgrounds allover the world, in short, Uganda is a home away from home

Rather good experience of a safari with Adventure Vacation safaris
Overall good experience. The administration before our arrival in Uganda was especially good, our contact being really available and helpful.
Our guide was really well aware of fauna and flora in Uganda, and gave us a lot of insight during all of our trip. He was also a really good driver.
The lodges and guest houses chosen for us were great (perfect service, clean and beautiful), with a slight exception for the airport guest house, which needs renewal.
We had a lot of problems with the dollars we brought, there were under 2003 and not accepted in Uganda, which was never told to us before our departure. Make sure to warn peole arriving from the outside to avoid problems with payment.
The vehicle for the safari was changed without notice the day of our arrival, which was not great, and there was nothing much we could do about it.
We booked a tailored safari for 2, a couple; when we had to do boat cruises with large family groups, that was a bit annoying.
But we definitely had a great time.
Many thanks !

seen a lot of animals
It was a great experience. Communication was easy and organisation very comfortable. Jakob the guide did his best to find a lot of animals. Though the bus was a bit old, and the road to Masai Mara is long and difficult.

Interesting for solo travelers
I especially appreciated the swift response they gave to my queries, and the fact that they can cater for solo travellers without extra charges.

Overall enjoyable
I travelled with Faustin tours in April 2016. I did the 8 days tour that includes safari in Mikumi National Park, hike to Sanje waterfalls and a stay in Zanzibar. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my travels. There were a few hiccups along the way, fx. miscommunications between the agency and the guide in Mikumi/Sanje about timings and travel and the full day of hiking turned out to be less than half a day which was dissapointing. However the guides were informative, the accommodation was lovely in all places, I was very lucky when it came to the weather seeing as the rainy season has started in April and as aforementioned I enjoyed the tour and my experience was positive.

Magic surroundings, unique scenery,
The Okavango Delta scenery is quite unique and as you have to fly a small plane to get to one of the lodges, you can realize it as soon as you board. It is very remote and with the water reflection the light is a wonder and you ear the bush noises so clearly day or night (you can ear hyenas grunting , lions roaring, bell frogs croaking etc.). For wildlife, scarce elephants and hippos are guaranteed. But you may not see cats if you don't book in a lodge offering game drives. Most of the lodges have boat activities and bush walks (a great experience indeed), but few have game drives. If you think you will be frustrated not to see lions, choose lodges with gale drives. If you can afford to stay in two places (one in the north, one in the south), it might be advisable as you'll probably see different things. Quality wise, the accommodation we booked was not a bargain. Lodges are very expensive and the service is not quite as good as we might expect for what we paid (I know, it is the bush but...) The thing is if you are used to other safari accommodations (I live in South Africa and have tried quite a few..) you can have real value for money (even if it is not as spectacular as the Okavango)...

Peaceful, Relaxing and great Hospitality
The accommodation was fabulous. We especially enjoyed relaxing on our chalet's wooden deck, right at the water's edge and soaking in the absolute African Bush peace around us. The staff are all so pleasant and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed the daily excursions we were taken on (Sunset Game Drive, the Kruger Park, the Cultural Village, the Annual Sanctuary and the Silk Factory).
