Excellent tour and guide - murchison falls, gorilla plus chimpanzee trekking, lake Mbuyoni.
My research online led me to Chris of Uganda Adventure Safaris and as my trip was a last minute one, and he was the quickest to respond fully to my initial enquiries, I booked a 9 day trip with him to cover the key places i wanted to visit including Murchison falls, wildlife national parks, gorilla and chimp trekking and lake Mbuyoni. Chris came up with an itinerary to suit my pace and accommodation options which met my preferences. As an Asian female solo traveller, i felt totally safe and comfortable with him throughout the 9 day trip and even extended it by a day. Chris is uber professional, a very safe driver, practical and honest in terms of setting and managing expectations, and what i liked most about him was his real care for wildlife and love of his country. He knows a lot about the wildlife, birds, reptiles, history and facts regarding everywhere I visited; and I learnt a lot through him. I also gained an insight into Ugandan culture, politics, landscape and street food during our long drives and interesting conversations. Chris is a people person and has good connections in the parks which meant I got to see a lot more than the other tourists. He has a good network around him so he can help with virtually any issue. He sorted me out with internet access by giving me his spare sim card and loading up the right local data package. He had a canon camera which took ultra professional pics so I could enjoy looking at stuff rather than trying to get a good photo. He went out of his way to take me to some sights in Kampala and drop me to Entebbe on my last day, after my tour was over, and he did not even charge me for that. I had an excellent time in Uganda and would recommend this beautiful country to everyone. I also know that having the right guide can mean you experience a hassle free holiday and it’s worth paying for this. Chris ticks all the boxes as a guide who looks to ensure he provides his clients with the best experience, at a reasonable and competitive price, whilst being flexible and adapting to their needs. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for him and have recommended him (and Uganda) to my family and friends.

Amazing value, great service!
3-day safari in Masai Mara with Axis Africa was just perfect! After comparing the offerings with pretty much every service operator in Kenya, I don't regret my choice at all. Customer service showed they really care and want us to have a great experience, always ready to clarify any doubts. Amazing price for those who want to travel on a budget but can't deal with bad hotels. I'd highly recommend them!

Magnificent
We just finished our 14 days safari in Kenya and Tanzania with Gosheni Safaris. There are no words to truly describe the incredible experience. We travel all over the world and this was one of the best trips if not the best. In Kenya, our guide was Carlos who did a terrific job showing us around. We saw the 5 brothers Cheetahs, baby elephants, Buffalos chasing lions and so many more animals. In Tanzania, our guide was Obeni, who did an excellent job taking care of us. Both Carlos and Obeni were so patient and kind to our 8 year old son. In Tanzania, Obeni found us a mama Cheetah with her baby cub, numerous leopards, all of the Big Five, and made terrific picnic lunches. Gosheni is an excellent company who truly takes care of their clients. If you want a one in a lifetime experience, book with Gosheni Safaris and ask for Carlos if you are in Kenya and Obeni if you are in Tanzania!

Amazing Safari That Exceeded All Expectations!!
Wife, son, and I just completed an amazing two week safari experience out together by Gosheni Safari that started in Kenya and ended in beautiful Tanzania. Everything about the safari was first class, from planning and preparation with Pendo to the safari experience with extremely knowledgeable drivers and guides Carlos in Kenya and Ombeni in Tanzania.
First a word about planning with Gosheni. We were actually scheduled for the safari last year, in June 2020 and made deposit by February, just before the onset of the COVID pandemic. We obviously were unable to travel last year, but Pendo and Gosheni remained in contact with us over the year, Assuring us that once travel was safe again, we would be able to book the dates. And that’s exactly what happened, and once Kenya opened back up, we were able to put together an itinerary in a few weeks time.
Regarding our guides Carlos and Ombeni, their professionalism, knowledge, and constant effort made for an amazing safari. We had our 8 year old son with us and both were responsive to his every question about the Masai Mara, Serengeti, animals, or whatever.
We always felt totally comfortable in their hands and they were totally committed to making our safari experience the time of a lifetime. While we sat in the vehicle, these guides managed to navigate the roads, spot animals from long distances, and stay in communications with other drivers to find sought after animals.
We were able to see the Big 5 and so many more special experiences that we’ll always remember. Like the 5 Brothers Cheetahs and the Buffalo charging down a pride of lion on The Masai Mara; the cheetah momma with her baby cub; numerous leopards, lions, and elephants in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Gosheni selected a variety of great camps thru the stay that enhanced the experience with even more friendly service and delicious food. And also, the safari bush lunches always hit the spot and never left us hungry!
A good friend had referred us to Gosheni based on his great experience, and I’ve already recommended Gosheni, Carlos, and Ombeni to friends who saw our pictures on social media and are now planning their own trips.

Thanks to Martin and Fida for a wonderful 6 day safari in Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli and Taita !
This was my second safari in my life. On the first safari, my wife and I were in Tanzania (Serengeti and Ngorongoro) in January of this year, and we have something to compare with. The safari with Martin and Fide was much more interesting.
We traveled with friends (2 couples) and these two wonderful guides and met a huge number of animals in Africa. Changing driving during the day, Martin and Fide provided us with 10-11 hours of safari per day instead of the promised 8. They are excellent drivers and very keen observers, not a single animal could hide from their eyes.
We highly recommend this company for traveling in Africa. And yet - the prices for private safaris with Martin and Fide will pleasantly surprise you, despite the fact that the guys provided us with luxury accommodation and meals.

It was a great trip, we visited Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Eyasi area. Our guide Ian was very helpful and professional. We wanted to try all type of accommodation during our stay: lodges, tented camps and camping tent and every place was good, and worth to recommend. At the camping we had also a chef - John, who prepared us very tasty meals (big portions!).
In Ngorongoro and Serengeti we saw a lot of animals (especially lions) but the most impressive was visiting 2 tribes at lake Eyasi - Hadzabes and Datoga. Our local Eyasi guide, Musa, gave us a lot of information about these tribes, their culture, way of life, etc.
Just before the fly home, we try a small climbing to Kilimanjaro.
What was also very nice - the care of from Tony who was our contact during the preparations to safari. He greeted us at the Arusha airport, then called few times during safari to be sure if everything is ok.
So I can strongly recommend to you services of Tony and Tanzania Exclusive Journeys, and worth to recommend. At the camping we had also a chef - John, who prepared us very tasty meals (big portions!).

Incredible adventure
We had the most amazing experience with Colours Africa Tours and Safaris. We planned a last-minute safari trip. The staff was very professional and responded to emails within minutes under Godlisten, They were able to customize our trip to include everything we wanted at the price point we wanted. The accommodations were absolutely beautiful. We cannot say enough positive things about our tour guide, Joseph. He has the most amazing eye and was so professional and friendly. He knew the name of every single animal, plant, and bird we ever asked him. We truly had such a wonderful time and loved every minute of our trip. We would highly recommend booking a safari with Colours Africa Tours and Safaris!!
