An amazing country! The people are super friendly, the landscapes are beautiful, and the wildlife is
We did Chimpanzee & Mountain Gorilla trekking, which was the highlight of the trip. The close access to the animals was such a surprise, but also amazing. The trek to the Mountain Gorillas was a challenge, but so worth it. The guides and the entire staff helping with the trek were just awesome. It was a "once in a lifetime" experience for sure. Our tour guide from the agency Home to Africa, was Derrek and he made the trip amazing for us.

Highly Recommended!
The trip was really well planned. They took care of everything, from picking us up at the hotel to the entire safari. Our guide, Simon, was always friendly, funny and efficient. No matter what came up, he stayed calm and professional, quickly solving any issues so that we had a seamless experience. The safari itself was incredible, and the lodges, especially Kitela Lodge and Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge, were the best. Big thanks to Goldfinch Adventures for an excellent experience!

Discovering Uganda in the best way.
If you are going to visit Uganda, do not hesitate, book your safari with Buyaga Safaris. Since hiring them, we have been very satisfied with the speed with which Peter has solved all our doubts, and for the reliability that he has transmitted to us, but above all for allowing us to design together the trip of our dreams.
If you are lucky enough to have Ossman as your driver and guide, success is assured: professional, polite, always ready to satisfy our requests and very friendly. In addition to all that, he is a good driver, flexible and fun. We had a really good time with him and we would definitely hire Buyaga Safaris again for the quality of the accommodations he suggested, the 10-day route visiting 5 national parks with specialized guides who made us feel safe and at home at all times. Not to mention the good price and, I insist, the good treatment by Peter, the owner of the company and Ossman, the best guide, who after our trip has become our friend.
If you are reading this review, do not hesitate, you will not regret living the safari of your life.

A professional quality service for a correct price
We received very quick and exhaustive replies from this agency. Joseph has been very professional and helpful to fulfill our requests based on our interests and budget. He has always been correct and as soon as we payed the deposit we received the payment receipt. He also stayed in touch with us during the tour to be sure that everything was ok.
We had a private 2-days safari at the Masai Mara park + one day at the Naivasha lake staying in good accomodations for a correct price.
We had the great luck to have Sam as our driver and guide: he is a very good person, brilliant and friendly, helpfull and kind. A safe driver always on time, open to our changes and requests. He has a great knowledge of the local culture, of the parks and the animals so he made our experiece very interesting. He has always tried to make our tour more confortable and fun and the safari the best as possible so we really suggest to ask for him.
In conclusion, our experience in Kenya has been very amazing thanks to Majestic quest tours & travels and to Sam so we really raccomand them!

Excellent 5 Day Safari
We've booked a 5-day safari trip (Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro) with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari. When we booked the tour we got an immediate response. Everything was well organized & explained in a travel overview document. The whole staff was very friendly & helpful from the beginning till the end.
Our guide Edward had a profound knowledge about the wildlife and the country. Even though the roads in the park became very muddy he always managed to drive us through safely. He also drove very cleverly which made it possible for us to see the interessting animals before all the jeeps where on site. During our journey we had very deep conversations. He found a good balance between professionalism and friendship.
Our chef, Asharaff, always treated us with various delicious 3-5 course dishes.
Overall we had an extraoridinary adventure with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. We booked several activities abroads and this was definitely the most exciting tour.
Big thanks to Serengeti Wankanda and especially to Edward and Ashraff - you made this journey unique.

Simply the best!
We trusted African Big Cat Safaris for our honeymoon and we can say we made an excellent choice! They carefully guided us and structured the itinerary according to our wishes, suggesting which park to visit according to the migration of the animals. Communication was excellent not only during the organisation phase (we are from Germany) but also once we arrived in Tanzania. The team was very kind and well-prepared. They provided us with all the information, itinerary and phone numbers both before the trip and on site. On our first day, the company manager Emanuel explained us the itinerary again and gave us useful information about the customs and traditions of the people in Tanzania (Asante sana Emanuel!). Throughout the organisation and the safari we felt listened to and cared for. Our safari was 5 days and four nights and we visited: Tarangire, lake Manyara, Ngorongoro & Serengeti. Our guide Endeni was highly prepared not only about the animals but also about the sightseeing and places we visited or passed through.
He always gave us interesting information about tanzanian history, economy and also about the social and political changes. Careful driver and incredible observer Endeni always strived to make our safari experience exciting and romantic. We spotted many animals and all the big 5 thanks to Endeni's experience and good communication with colleagues and park guards. He always drove us to areas where we could enjoy the animals without being surrounded by 30 other jeeps.
All the location booked for the night were nice and clean. We felt welcome and the food was delicious.
ASANTE SANA African big cat safari for the fantastic experience and for guiding us through the wonders of Tanzania!

Worst Communication and Experience
We had one of the most horrible experiences with this company. Communication felt very limited to us, especially after they received our payment, and we often felt like we were on our own. We found ourselves repeatedly trying to get information, and even then, it was sometimes unclear or inconsistent.
We were grouped in a cruiser with people from various online bookings (Viator, TripAdvisor, etc.), rather than what we expected in terms of a more dedicated guide or company setup. From our previous Maasai Mara safari experience, we had full company services — from the vehicle to the guide — with clear company identification. This experience was very different from that and did not meet our expectations.
We only booked it because a friend whose friend worked there (and has since left) recommended it, which made the experience even more disappointing for us. We regret that decision.
Long story short, this wasn’t what we expected. Even the safari in the Mara seemed to start later than what we are used to, as in our previous experience, game drives typically began much earlier. Because of this, we felt short changed overall.
Anyway, we live and learn

Best guide ever!
We loved this tour. Michael was the best guide ever! He has so much knowledge and patience. We saw all the animals, even lions few times. We would repeat it again with Michael anytime.
I loved the speed of girl in charge of communication on whatsapp. She answered so fast each time and gave great advices.
Definitly vest choice we made for Mikumi and Tanzania!

Incredible once in a lifetime experience
We had an amazing experience traveling to the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. The crater is how you describe heaven. Absolutely breathtaking scenery and so much wildlife. Our guide was incredible and definitely made our trip all that it was.
