Could not have wished for a better first time safari experience
We had an absolutely amazing time in Masaai Mara! Our driver G-man was simply the best. He took us for quite an adventurous ride around the park where we got to spot every animal of the big five and lots of other animals. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed our two day trip. Definitely well spent money!

The team is very welcoming and helpful.
Our tour was barely in the middle of March for 7 days. I can say one wow! With such a colossal driver and guide as we had, Collin's tour could not fail 5☆ out of 5. He took us everywhere, told us so much about animals, environment and culture. Like we got everywhere and saw so much. Always concerned about our well-being and allowed us to enjoy this beautiful Safari tale. Even the accommodations were excellent for the budget option we chose (hotel showers in Naivasha are better than expected - no tiles or broken). But the most impressive accommodation was at the very end - at the foot of Kilimanjaro. We felt at home there and with such a charming view. The food in all of them was also excellent and delicious. The only thing that I would probably not recommend is to visit the village of Masai, which we visited. It looked more like extortion of money from the residents, where the money was transferred from the beginning, so to speak, what to show you... it was unpleasant. But that was just one unsightly drop of tar in this beautiful event. Thanks to the Safari team and a special thanks to Collin.

Uwanda Tours is professional, responsive and gave us a tour that exceeded expectations!
Uwanda Tours and Safaris is an exceptionally professional company and Salumu was very responsive and patient during the planning stages our our trip. He guided us through every question and made perfect recommendations for our 10 day safari in the southern circuit of Tanzania, despite it being "rainy" season. The flexibility, open-ended possibilities if we needed to reroute due to rain was very reassuring. Our guide, Emanuel is extremely knowledgeable, and guided us through very long journeys from one place to another (Dar Es Salaam-Mikumi-Udzungwa-Nyerere-Dar Es Salaam) with amazing driving skill (we chose drive the distances to see the country, long but worth every minute), exceptional knowledge about every single inch of every park, knows everyone and is extremely friendly and strong (no problem on rough roads, long drives, hard to spot animals). Everything was perfect, and definitely do research with different types of lodges or tented camps that suit your interests as there are several options inside the parks and outside (we recommend lodges inside the parks to be closer to the animals). The ONLY suggestion we have is if anyone chooses the driving route to these stunning areas of Tanzania, to request a safari truck with reclining seats if possible. The drives are spectacular and there is so much to see along the way and you don't feel the time, but could use the recline to rest along the way. The lodges, the parks, the people, the scenery...makes a world of difference with the right guide! Thank you for the most incredible memories and we will be back!

Amazing tour!
We had the most incredible experience during our private 2 - day tour, with the best guide Geeman. We got to see almost every animal in the park, including all of the big five! Geeman really made an effort for us to see so much we possibly could.
Some unexpected things happened like cars getting stuck in the mud but Geeman did his magic and we got out of there. Seriously couldn’t be happier with our guide, so professional and an amazing driver!

Unforgettable experience
Our driver G-man was the best, exceptionally skilled, funny and had a lot of very interesting information to share about the animals that we got to see up close and very fast! Thanks to G-man’s skills and him being connected to other drivers we got to see 4 out of the big 5 in the first 2 hours (!!), although we were quite lucky as well. His driving skills brought us through hard to reach areas where others would get stuck. Even when things did not go as planned he was very calm and relaxed and informed us what was happening. It kept us all comfortable and happy.
Even though we only had a two day trip we got to see all the animals we wanted and more, and G-man took us on the best rollercoaster ride I’ve ever been on. Amazing nature, animals, driver and experience, highly recommend.
Thanks for the adventure G-man, I’ll never forget it

Amazing Amboseli Day Trip Adventure
We had an excellent 5 star experience on our day trip to Amboseli National Park. Our tour guide David was simply remarkable. David was punctual, he picked us up early and drove responsibly the entire 3 hour drive from my pick up location to the park. The vehicle was clean and David came well-equipped for the day with water and a pair of binoculars. David suggested an earlier start and I’m glad that we made the sacrifice because we got the opportunity to see a lot of animals including; cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, herds of wildebeests, buffalos, hippos, hyenas, other antelopes, pink flamingos, and we even visited a Masai village. Throughout the trip David shared interesting facts about Kenya, the animals and interesting sites. The views in Amboseli National Park were absolutely stunning from the volcanic hill and it was worth the 10 minutes walk. To top off the trip, we had a luxurious meal at the Kibo Safari Lodge before heading to the Masai village and then back to Nairobi. We felt safe traveling as a couple with David, a professional and ethical tour guide. I highly recommend traveling with Safari Update Travels because of their professionalism.

Freddy is the best guide, and will give you the best experience of your life!
This is the second time I have used iTravel for a safari, and I didn’t think things could get better than the first time around but they did! His knowledge of the parks is exceptional, and he knows exactly where to go to give you the best chance of seeing all the animals. His instincts are superb. Our groups favorite experience was seeing a leopard up in the tree because it was just us as opposed to multiple groups viewing the animal. The lodging he set us up with was also one of the best experiences we had as a group. Book iTravel an I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Short but excellent Uganda experience!
As part of our business trip to Uganda, Around Africa Safaris organized a short trip for us to Lake Mburo and Bwindi. David was our fantastic guide. Both places were more than amazing. With the very knowledgable help of David, we spotted over 100 species of (often very beautiful) birds. In Bwindi we spent 1 hour very close to a family of 16 gorilla's, chilling in the forest and seemingly interested in watching us (instead of the other way around). Truly a great experience. David was very helpful, punctual, knowledgable (he knew all the birds by name and sound and spotted them all) and he was very keen on pointing out things of natural and cultural interest and he introduced us to the Uganda Rolex food. He is also a great car mechanic so we felt very safe in his hands. In a few days he managed to give us a full Uganda experience and because of him for sure we will come back for a longer visit. Thanks a lot David!!!!
