Magical Rwanda and Uganda
Absolutely magical 9 days of gorillas, chimpanzees, elephants, rhinos, hippos, lions, leopards and the natural beauty of Rwanda and Uganda. Our trip was a dream come true. Our driver, Elias was so knowledgeable about the animals and the political history. He made us feel so safe and taken care of. Everything was tailored to our wishes. I highly recommend Eco Adventure

The Perfect Solo Travel Experience at Nyerere National Park!
I recently had the most incredible, seamless experience booking a one-day private safari with Smile with Us Tours in Africa. I actually planned this trip entirely last minute, and I am so grateful to Mr. Jacob, who was absolutely amazing to work with. He accommodated my short-notice request instantly, handled all the logistics flawlessly, and made sure everything was perfectly set up for me without a single delay.
My tour guide for the day at Nyerere National Park, Tiko, was absolutely phenomenal. From the moment the journey began, his warm, personable nature and vibrant, positive energy set the perfect tone. He is an expert tracker with an encyclopedia-like knowledge of the wildlife. Tiko made it his personal mission to ensure I saw as much as possible, and his sharp eyes did not disappoint. Thanks to him, I had the thrill of checking off three of the Big Five, elephants, lions, and giraffes! Watching these majestic animals in their natural habitat was breathtaking, and Tiko always positioned the vehicle perfectly for the best views while maintaining a deep respect for the wildlife and ensuring we were completely safe at all times.
What made this safari truly special, though, was the depth of the experience. Tiko is a wonderful storyteller. During our drives through the park, he shared fascinating stories and taught me so much about Tanzanian culture, traditions, and daily life, which gave me a much deeper appreciation for the country.
As a solo traveler, safety, privacy, and comfort were incredibly important to me. The private 4x4 safari vehicle was pristine, remarkably spacious, and felt extremely safe even on the roughest terrain. Tiko was exceptionally attentive, constantly checking in on me throughout the day to ensure I was comfortable and doing well.
The hospitality on this tour was unmatched. We had a wonderful break time with snacks, and the lunch they provided was absolutely amazing. The food was very good! Tiko also supplied all of the water and drinks for the trip, thoughtfully keeping everything perfectly chilled in a cooler, which was a lifesaver on such a hot day and long journey.
I was genuinely heartbroken for the day to end, but I am already planning my return trip to Tanzania Nyerere National Park to do this exact journey all over again. Thank you, Mr. Jacob, for making it happen on short notice, and a massive thank you to Tiko for memories that will last a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and book with them and absolutely ask for Tiko!

A place that provides an unforgettable experience with friendly service ✨
We chose this tour company for our honeymoon.
It was a choice with no regrets ☺️
The guide 'Terry' was soooo kind.
The best service provider.
The best guide! 😊👍🏻
He worked really hard to find the animals. And he was touched by the meticulousness of constantly checking if we were in good condition.
It was nice to reply really quickly when I inquired. They also provided me with reasonable estimates and schedules so that I could stay in the accommodation I wanted.
It was a honeymoon that I really hoped for, and I was able to come back very happily and satisfactorily thanks to Kiliclimb 🫶🏻❤️
If you want a trip without regrets, I recommend this tour! ✨
*We offered a tip of $25 a day as a token of appreciation.
This is not a requirement, so please keep that in mind.

Communicative and
We had a great time on our Masai Mara safari with our guides Tisa and Frank! Both guides were knowledgable about the park and very kind and personable. We saw 4 out of the big 5 up close! This safari made our trip to Kenya unforgettable. Thank you Frank and Tisa!

Hermosa Life Tours Truly Lives Up to Its Name – More Than a Safari, a Life Changing Experience
Hermosa Life Tours live up to their name - they really do deliver a tour that is a once in a lifetime adventure! Over the course of 8 days we toured magnificent Rwanda, a place of beauty, humanity, inspiration, and future thinking. We started off with a guide, and finished with a friend. Abou was more like a travelling companion than an employee, and offered us his knowledge, heart, care, intellect, stories, philosophies, ears and eyes. We were so blessed to be accompanied by this amazing human. He steered us through Akagera National Park where we found lions and lionesses lazing under trees, rhinos closer than you might imagine, hippos galore, giraffes, zebra, buffalo, crocodiles, all manner of antelope, and birds aplenty. The King's Palace was a treat. In Nwungwe we ziplined, went for a canopy walk, found chimpanzees, vervet monkeys and mountain monkeys. We joined the traditional fisherman on the lake for an incredible experience netting sambaza. We travelled north visiting a tea plantation, joining the pickers and making a traditional brew, and replicated this experience with coffee and Arabica beans the next day, Abou ensured we were expertly looked after when we ventured into the Virunga Mountains, spending an hour with a Silverback gorilla, his wives and babies. My husband looked at me in the midst of this experience and asked, "Is this real?" The following day we trekked through potato fields to join the golden monkeys amongst the bamboos, and then joined the villagers where we were treated to our own personalised wedding re-enactment which was such a rich experience. Rwanda is now our favourite destination amongst many previously visited, and Abou our favourite companion. At every stage our comfort and experience was considered, the communication between Abou, Oreste and Yvonne was exceptional, as was Abou's communication with all the various guides that supported us. This was more than a holiday, more than a safari - it was an immersion with the Rwandan people, their country, their history, their way of life, their animals, and most importantly their future. This was a once in a life time experience, and we're so eternally grateful for it. Heartfelt thanks to Oreste who Invited us in, to Yvonne who helped created our unique experience, and Abou, who delivered it beyond expectations. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Jennifer and Sam

Top Tier in every aspect.
My wife and I travel with a simple philosophy: no expectations = no disappointments. Our experience with Passionate Guides Tanzania exceeded all expectations. Our safari was flawlessly executed. The knowledge, skill, professionalism, humor, and, yes, passion for safari were incomparable. We don't know how our trip could have been made more rewarding. The travels of a lifetime that we will never forget. The accommodations were top-tier, the food was excellent, and the itinerary was perfect. We saw every animal in The Jungle Book in its natural behavior and habitat. If you are going on safari, look no further. You are at the right place.

Incredible and unforgettable experience
An unforgettable experience with African Bush Lovers! Our trip was in late April/ early May, and we spent 8 days in the mobile tent camp, traveling from Maun to Kasane, and then a day trip to Victoria Falls. We got to experience Khwai, Savuti and Chobe, and we saw absolutely everything there was to see. Our guide TT was incredible. He is knowledgeable, experienced, has the eyes of a hawk, and gave us an unforgettable experience in the bush. He is also unmatched when it comes to navigating the bush and rough roads, we felt safe the entire time. Our amazing camp team, Amos, Big Ben and Hakeem made camp-life relaxing and full of fun and new experiences. Great food, lovely atmosphere, we felt very taken care of.
Thank you so much to ABL for an incredible and unforgettable experience. Cannot recommend these guys enough, they are professionals with a real passion for their work. Botswana is beautiful, and we are so grateful we got to experience it. If we ever get the chance to go back, this team will be our first choice.

Awesome 🤩
We booked a 3-day safari with Kyooma Gorilla Safaris. From the very beginning, everything was organized perfectly. As agreed, we were picked up right on time in Kigali, Rwanda, by our guide Edgar. We highly recommend Edgar – he speaks excellent English, is always punctual, and is great company. We shared many laughs during the trip!
The accommodations we stayed in fully met our expectations, as did the Golden Monkey Trekking and the Gorilla Trekking experiences 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻.
After these three days, we took advantage of the opportunity to rent the 4x4 and continue exploring Rwanda on our own. Once again, everything was arranged perfectly, including the border crossing from Uganda back into Rwanda.
We highly recommend Kyooma Gorilla Safaris and guide Edgar to everyone!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Convenient and reliable
Professional service, people really wanted us to have a great experience. Would have been better if they could tell us the stories behind the scenes.
