Apodiformes Adventures serious manager, prompt, opento our wishes, requests, correct with customers
Good evening,
I have to share with you our experience with the help of Apodiformes Adventures.
Silas, an extremely vigilant guy, responded in a very short time to my desire to find out information about a possible safari. And what can I say ... he never deceived my expectations. We agreed on a route from Nairobi, Lake Naivasha, boating, all around, hippos and lots of birds, Lake Nakuru, one night here at Homebase Garden with impeccable accommodation and meals, two nights in Masai Mara, an excellent balloon flight, lions, zebras, wildebeest antelope and a leopard that quietly eats its prey in the tree.
From Masai Mara we went to Serengeti, through Isibania, Silas, the manager of Apodiformes always kept in touch with us, making sure that everything is fine, we were tested at the border exactly as he told us, with quick tests, the procedure is quite long, but completed without problems. And we arrived in the great Serengeti, two magnificent nights in Kati Kati Tented Camp and two unforgettable days, in two extraordinary worlds, of people and animals. Each of the moments lived had their charm, the elephant that made its place at night next to our tent and which we struggled to film and show to those at home with whom we spoke through wi.fi.
I saw a real feast of a lion family, stealing hundreds of pictures of the owners of those lands. Curious and so graceful giraffes appeared everywhere and left very easily. Hippopotamuses reveled in the savannah ponds, Tik..Tik ... the smallest antelopes jump through the bushes, the jackals, the hyenas appeared sometimes on the road, sometimes on our left or right. Ngorongoro showed his grandeur the next day, the descent into the crater being an unforgettable experience. The ceiling of clouds and fog that had kept us from ... cold (Rhinolodge has a fireplace where we even sat by a beautiful wood fire) rose and revealed to us an extraordinarily beautiful world. Everywhere you looked you saw animals. The last days I caught them in Lake Manyara, where the elephants enjoyed themselves in a well-deserved bath with water ... mud and dust, and the icing on the cake was left to the two lions on the tree, one of them waiting for the pictures that to show him supremacy.
Yes, I invite you to go with Apodiformes Adventures, Silas, the manager, is best suited to find solutions for what you want.
Thank you Silas for the patience you have shown, answering absolutely any question I asked you!
And this is not all!!!!!
The guides I had are the best, if you are a sociable person they open up and offer you anything you want.
In Kenya, Isayah managed to gain our trust very quickly, very civilized, with a lot of common sense and dedicated to those he cared for.
Isayah was the one who showed us the hidden leopard, he ran for half a day after the elephants, keeping his promise, going with Toyota as if it were the best race car. I would have thought that he could climb those roads, in the Masai Mara, he is an extremely well-trained driver, a guide who has successfully fulfilled his mission of making people happy and finding exactly when I no longer believed the cheetah he we are looking for. He told us so simply that we had a bonus that afternoon and we saw the miracle.
I recommend asking Isayah, if you catch him free you will not regret it. Search and find any animal in the reservations.
Godlisten, our guide from Tanzania, an exceptional man, car-Toyota Landcruiser.
You will not be disappointed if you have a guide on Godlisten, he is a professional in everything he does. Including pictures.Godlisten, a real encyclopedia, extremely shy at first, with a lot of common sense and an extraordinary preparation. He did his safari homework with us. The man has books about birds, animals, binoculars, (I still miss the words of "Good spot !!!" )... nothing escapes him, an infinite patience to listen and answer our questions.
He also knew the accommodation, he knew the people there, he interacts perfectly with everyone. He doesn't sleep much. He is eager to tell you something tomorrow.
Count on him !!!
We thank those who accompanied us in our adventure and helped us fulfill our dream. Thank you Apodiformes Adventures, Silas, Isayah and Godlisten.

Great operator, super responsible
This has been the most unexpected wonderful surprise trip of my life. We kept delaying our trip until COVID was a bit more stable (end of June and beginning of July). We loved it! Wyclef was very attentive and organized a great 12 day trip that took us around Uganda visiting the highlights of nature. Hillary our guide became more than a tour guide to us, he became a brother. We had a great trip, even with COVID 19 looming. People in Uganda are super friendly and really carefull with COVID. We loved every day of our trip. Unexpected highlights: go visit the Pygmees in Lake Bunyonyi, this experience was underrated and is really great. They are very grateful. I just wish we had taken more than money to help them out (perhaps clothes). Be prepared (ask everything you will need beforehand each day). Take good walking shoes. Get a porter when going to gorilla´s trip (they are way more than carriers throughout this trip, they are really helpful to avoid falls when walking through the slippery roads). Highly recommended. Literally Gorilla´s accompanied us since we left the airport until we got to the flight back. BTW carefull with your money! if you are taking dollars they are extremely picky with them accepting them (not the tour operator, but in general they whole country).

Amazing safari
Very good standard, we appreciated lot. Hilary is a professional tour planer. We chose the mid range lodge serengeti tour, means 3 days/2night in Serengeti and Nongorgoro Crater. The lodges was beautiful and very relaxing. The tour guide was also very professional and showed us all important places. We also had a chef with us on safari, so lunch was also very good. Suricata also arranged the airport transport and the night before and after the safari in Arusha.

Best experience ever!!
Our experience with African Big Cats Safari was wonderful. The attention and care since the very first consultation was great, Justice solved all kinds of doubts, with fast and personalized attention
Already in Tanzania, our guide was Endeni. He managed to make us fall in love with Tanzania, with each story, with each anecdote, with everything he knew about animals, with his ability to take us to see incredible animals from 3 meters up close, guided by a simple footprint in the sand and mainly, for being a great person. (Endeni, we miss you!! ♥)
We knew that Tanzania and the experience of a Safari was going to be incredible, but they managed to exceed our expectations: the hotels were great, the kindness and help made us feel at home away from home, the food and preparation of everything, they left us very happy.
Emanuele, Justice and Endeni, you made us VERY happy!!! We carry you guys in our hearts!
The good experience was worth 1000%. Come to Africa and do this Safari!!

The best Safari company in Uganda
Kubwa Five Safaris had the most reasonable rates, and they were great in communication, so I felt pretty good about booking a tour with them. Kubwa Five Safaris was more attentive, tailor-making the tour to our exact specifications, giving excellent tips and recommendations, and putting through all the detailed changes we requested quickly and efficiently.
Our driver/guide, Joan was a really lovely and knowledgeable person. We greatly enjoyed this company for the days we were in Rwanda. The gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park was beyond all expectations in terms of our proximity and views of the gorillas. We trekked the Sabinyo group and after a couple of hours, we met the endangered giants up in the hills. It was an amazing experience to see the gorillas close up in the wild and this is one of the most memorable trips that I have ever taken.
In the afternoon, after the trek, we enjoyed a relaxed evening at the Iby'wachu Village where we learned about the history, culture, and heritage of the Rwandan people. This is another amazing experience that you should not miss while in Rwanda.
All of our accommodation was lovely and really showed us the variety Rwanda has to offer. From staying in a luxury high rise hotel in Kigali to jungle camping in Kagera National Park and staying in a variety of safari lodges, all hotels were lovely, with great facilities, great food and drinks, friendly staff (& wildlife!) and lovely rooms.
I strongly advise you to request Joan as your driver and guide when you are in Rwanda! For one week, she was both our friend and our professional guide; enabling us to see all the highlights of a truly beautiful country in a relatively short length of time.
I have no hesitation in recommending Kubwa Five Safaris to anyone planning a safari holiday in Rwanda in the future.

35 days Uganda Safari Tour and Holiday
We had 35 fantastic days together with a group of 20 family members in uganda. We had a very friendly tour guide Yonah. This company will give you good attention from the first day you contact them to the end of your trip. They had good customer care and definitely the best in satisfaction! Everything was just perfect. We were treated as if we were real friends. Thanks to Mussa and Yonah for the treat. We really had a wonderful trip. They also have 100% free cancellation policy upto two weeks before start date . I highly recommend this tour operator to anyone out there who wish to get such experience!!

Excellent 12-days Uganda with Gorilla/Chimps /NP
Robert and also Ceasar, our Guide, did an excellent job. They are extremely reliable, trustworthy and respond to emails promptly. Ceasar is a „walking encyclopaedia“! You can ask him everything! Robert‘s Organisation of our 12 day trip was over the top. The luxury lodges were very well chosen, as well as the extensive program. It was very individual and they react to every special request. As always, there are minor problems along the way. For example a bridge was closed and we have to take the ferry. That would have meant several hours of waiting Ceasar has solved it with several phone calls very individual, so we were able to continue our program as planned. Customer satisfaction comes first!
I will extremely recommend Africa Adventure Vacations. I have been to africa several times but this agency was the best!!
