Kilimanjaro climb
We climbed the Kilimanjaro with a group of 4 people. Everything has been amazing. Emmanuel was our guide and he and his team have done everything for us to spend a great time! It has been an amazing experience.
Thanks again to Emmanuel and his team!

Killi queens climbed the mountain and had the best time ever
Our experience with Sirikwa was absolutely fantastic. The guides were professional , so friendly and helpful . They looked after us in every way possible & went above and beyond to make our trip both successful and enjoyable . When Australians are allowed to travel again I will be back and do a safari , and to visit our wonderful friends we made while climbing Kilimanjaro.

Most Memorable Honeymoon Experience!
Jumbo! For our first honeymoon we decided to visit Kenya, and undoubtedly it was an experience of a lifetime. The day we landed we were greeted by Christine, who helped us with our complete package and made sure we had a wonderful time whilst in Kenya. Our driver Victor was also very friendly, and we had a fun time visiting Amboseli National Park, Masai Mara Game Reserve, Giraffe Manor, and Lake Navaisha with him. We witnessed some incredible sight of Lion, Cheetah Hunting, Night Safari and our most interesting find was the leopard that Victor helped us locate. Giraffe Manor was also one of the most memorable experience, surely a must visit while in Nairobi. We were also taken to the Carnivore restaurant and Masai Village that was an incredible experience too. Staying at Eagle Camp and Sarova was great as well. On our last day our covid test was taken well care off and Christine and Victor dropped us off to the airport and made sure we had all our documents and everything ready for a safe flight back to Dubai. We also learned some Swahili language on our trip and that was fun. Will surely remember this experience forever, and can't wait for another Safari soon!!!. Asante Sana.

Amazing trip in an amazing place.
I cannot recommend Bamboo Ecotours enough. I had the journey of a lifetime going through Western Uganda and seeing all of the parks. I had experiences people write about in travel books, but surely they don't really have them? Wrong! They do have those experiences as I can now attest. Fred is a phenomenal guide and driver. Edison's communication is so clear and concise. I cannot recommend this company enough.

Unforgettable experience of nature, wildlife and cultural heritage
This was a lovely 7 day tour that I enjoyed very much with my husband. The guide Eddie was friendly, knowledgeable and patient answering our questions. He attentively spotted animals for us to watch. The accommodation places were clean and comfortable. Uganda is such a lovely country with friendly people and children waving at you wherever you. The nature there is very beautiful with lots of green hillside, lakes , forests and mountains. I loved the activities of people in the Bigodi swamp walk and their way of doing things . I loved the animals everywhere. The trip was really unforgettable. I would only recommend that the gorilla trekking activity be moved to the end of the tour because it's strenuous and could affect one's enjoyment of the rest of the tour especially if one gets injured. I also believe people should be made aware beforehand of the nature of this activity and how slippery or steep the ground is there in the impenetrable forest.
EAJS really delivered all the program as I hoped for and as they designed. I only wish we had been able to do the Batwa cultural experience which was part of the tour and I was looking forward to it but we didn't have the time to do it unfortunately. Apart from that, the tour was great and I would recommend it to my friends.

It was the best Safari ever!
I’ve did 5 days safari to Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. I can recommend this to everyone. I slept two nights in Lodges and two nights in tents. It was the perfect fit. You can get so close to nature, you hear the sounds of roaring lions and buffalos chewing the grass. The Safari guide Abdul and the cook Ibrahim took care of us soo well. The food was amazing and so delicious. They always tried to find the best places to spot all the animal. So I was able to see the big five and even soo many other animal. Thank you so much! And thanks to Mohamed for organizing everything so smoothly and to Msechu the taxi driver who picked me up and dropped me at the airport. I had an amazing time!

AMAZING itinerary and experience
I traveled with Nziza to Uganda for 6 days in March 2021. It was my first time in the country and did not know what to expect. Bernard put together a cohesive, exciting and full itinerary, and even before the departure I received a lot of information, had the opportunity to ask all my questions and this included also recommendations about essential information about Uganda, what to expect, what to pack, etc...
When I made it to Entebbe and during the whole trip, I was completely overwhelmed with the country itself, it was amazing to see so many different climates and opportunities. We saw hills, crater lakes, cities, savannah, rivers, Lake Victoria, the source of the Nile, the Equator... and most of all, the jungle and forests with sights of chimps and Gorillas, who let us observe them. It was overall an incredible stay, and I found that traveling now (during COVID times) was especially interesting as there was no other tourists, we had the opportunity to really sink in the culture, the people, the sights and experiences.
Throughout the stay, Bernard and his team took amazing care of us and we loved our experience from A to Z. Highly recommend visiting Uganda with Nziza, it was amazing!

Great Safari with efficient and fast communication and organization! Ask for Anita ;)
I booked a 5-day mid-range group Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks with Serengeti Camping Safari for me and a friend. My contact point was Anita, who went above and beyond for us! The communication with her was always fast and reliable, she provided a lot of helpful advice and information in the preparation phase, and even helped us getting set up with a local sim, exchanging money etc. upon arrival. When I mentioned that I love mangoes, she bought me a bag of them on the local market to take on the Safari :).
During our stay, everything went smoothly. Airport pickup and dropoff worked perfectly, as well as the introductory briefing and payment. We had a last minute change of plans (Lake Manyara National Park was flooded, so we had to change to Tarangire) but the reasoning was well explained and we were offered to stick to the original plan at no extra cost after the rest of the group had already decided to go with the proposed change. Our accommodations were absolutely amazing and for Serengeti NP (where we stayed for two nights including New Years) we even received a last minute upgrade to a fabulous lodge. Our driver/guide was nice and provided a lot of insightful information. When returning to Arusha, there was a little misunderstanding with our hotel (which was part of the package), but that wasn´t a big deal, and Anita stopped by once again to make sure that everything went well (we really loved her!).
The only thing that led to some complications during the Safari was that people who booked low-budget and mid-range were put in the same car. So we lost some time in the morning and evening picking up and dropping off people at different accommodations. But due to the low number of travelers during the pandemic, of course it may be necessary to mix groups. This is just something to keep in mind if you consider booking a private safari instead. Another thing is that the travelers in our group who booked low-budget were not very happy with their accommodation (it rained during our visit and the camps were flooded, tents provided by campground were not waterproof etc.). However, I understand that they did not book with Serengeti Camping Safari but with a different operator. And the weather risk is obviously not on the company either. Just another thing to consider for future travelers when deciding on which type of safari you want to book. The extra money for the mid-range option is absolutely worth it!

Excellent service
Everything about Zambezi Expedition Travel and Tours was excellent. I booked everything online before travelling, from airport transfers to accommodation and activities and everything met my expectations. Communications were timely and flawless. Most of my activities were put on discount too!!!
