Review about Balule Nature Reserve by James Autry
In the dry season, the bush is not the most scenic environment.

Where the Wild Things Still Are
My wife and I had an excellent safari experience, with knowledgable guides, nice accomodations, and good food. We will never forget the experience of being in the bush and seeing all the creatures we have dreamed of. Sadly, we fear that wildlife is in danger of disappearing and hope that all steps will be taken to preserve it.

Exhausting but really special and once in a lifetime.
It was all what I expected and even more. It was one of the most beautiful experience of my life. Although, we had to hurry a bit at the last part. Maybe that was a little annoying.
Review about Ngorongoro Crater by shehnai
By the time we went to Ngorongoro we had seen all of the animals. This was seeing them in a different habitat, yet similar. I loved the hippo pond & seeing the lush green grasses & water where the Zebra & wilder-beast congregated.

Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by Charles L Walker Jr
Beautiful scenery. Really beautiful birds. Would have loved to gone through some backroads to get closer to some of the wildlife.

A unique and unforgettable experience.
We were on a camping safari organised by On The Go Tours in conjunction with Africa Tour Company. We thoroughly enjoyed the Mokoro ride through the blue water of the Delta...it is so relaxing with only the sound of the Mokoro slicing through the water accompanied by the sound of the reeds in the breeze. We saw some grazing zebras far away, beautiful water lilies and lily pads, local wild flowers and some birds. It was sunny and warm and most of us were completely relaxed.
Our campsite was in a remote area with fixed tents and attached open air "en-suite". At night we have a fantastic view of the Milky Way and stars. After dinner, the polos and campsite personnels gave an impromptu concert singing and dancing...the atmosphere is simply wonderful and you feel you are really experiencing the real Africa.
We had a guided walk in the evening through the Delta and were given a first hand education on the local flora and their medicinal benefits...the climax that evening is to view the sunset out in the water in the mokoro and the next morning to see the sunrise.
An amazing country
Loved everything about the trip with the following exceptions..........Too many guide changes. Wanted Eric start to finish, the others were limited in their communication and social skills............Some days were just to much driving, at least 2 were just travel days only...........Be honest about the bucket showers in your description of certain facilities and also, if I were a birder, I would have been very disappointed that there were no Flamingo's, as you prominently display in your advertising. These reasons are why I gave an overall 4 Star rating instead of 5....... I would also like to note that I was happy to give my business to Kenyan and Tanzanian business owners, as opposed to safari companies owned outside of Africa.

Had a wonderful time, had a great guide and enjoyed the sights.
Meet at the airport by my guide Apolo. Was very well taken care of. The lodging was adequate and the food. Was very good. Everyone at resort was very accommodating. Got to see lots of wildlife but missed seeing any lions. Taken back to airport and then on to Kampala after safari. I was only one on safari and could not have felt any safer.

I wouldn't trade the wonderful adventure and experience that we had for anything!
I would give this a 5 star rating but am giving it a 4 star because it was a budget tour - not anyone's or anything's fault. The itinerary was perfect and generous, and I would not have been there had it not been for the affordability. If you like luxury and don't like rustic, this is probably not the place for you and you should plan to spend a lot more money. We were camping and if you like to camp and help cook/clean/pack/unpack - this was an absolute joy. Go with a positive and adventuresome spirit and you will LOVE it!
I would like to add that my friends and I did this together and we are in our 60's while most of the travelers are young - probably due to affordability. I think it is important to be fairly fit and healthy.
