back to Uganda with Canyon safaris
After my first time in Uganda in 2017 l had the wish to see more from the country. I did in 2019. Not the west site of the country i was first time but north and east site. The east site is still complete unkown, but also very beautifull. Different. Very small villages. but also different animals and the animals do not see many times tourist, so they stay where they are on the road ( Warthogs in bit water on the road) and we must stop for them. Normaly they run away with tale up. Its a part from the country to go to. Together with MUKASA MOSE i made the plan. I got since 2017 a walking problem and made, no stairs. and easy walking for me. Mukasa look for right places and found them. On one place i got a problem , too far from room till diningroom and he made it we got room service and got breakfast and diner together on my room.
Can only say, thanks to him i had both years a very nice time and we visit the places i ask for and he found the best places to stay.
l told about what i read and should like to go to, Mukasa made my wishes EXELENT SERVICE. Together with him i made both times a wonderfull trip Not a trip you find in the books, but also with your own ideas

Unforgettable memories in Kampala, Murchison Falls and Bwindi
Sam is a very professional tourism expert who provides reliable and interesting information during the tour. Everything was well organized and he advised me with very nice and good value accommodations. He’s friendly and knows so much about his country. The Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi was just breathtaking, once in a lifetime experience! We had a great time at Murchison, saw many wild animals and the falls are beautiful. We also went to Bunyonyi Lake which is a wonderful and resting place where you can do many activities. The tour was amazing, plenty of great moments and unforgettable memories. Couldn’t recommend his services more !

Fantastic 4-day safari
What can I say? It was my first safari and it was awesome! Our group consisted of 6 people and we harmonized very well together. Our guide Freddy was in a great mood and responded to our wishes in the best possible way. The food was absolutely delicious and varied. The accommodations (two lodges, one camping) were well chosen. We saw an incredible number of animals and everything was there except for the leopard (we saw two cheetahs hunting). All in all a brilliant tour. Book with Solestours and you won't regret it. :)

6 day private safari- an unforgettable experience!
Me and my girlfriend went to our first Safari with Jockey tours in 2021 March. Upon asking for offers from around 8-10 tour companies, they have sent one of the best (and cheapest) offers, so we decided to go with them.
Communication, payment: we mainly communicated via email, and they were always fast to respond. They did not require any deposit, we only had to pay on the first day of the safari.
Program: We decided to go on a 6 day (5 nights) private tour. Our guide, Joshua (more on him later) picked us up at our accommodation in Nairobi, on time. Then we drove to Masai Mara, where we spent 2 nights, after that came Lake Nakuru for 1 night, then Amboseli for 2 more nights. They were quite flexible regarding the plans, and recommended some alternations in the program that suited our needs better. This program contains some long drives (3*6 hours), so be prepared for that, but we felt like it was well worth it. Our favorite was Masai Mara, but Amboseli is also a great experience, and a totally different landscape.
Car: We decided to go for the Jeep instead of the minivan (it was only a little more expensive), and was very happy with our decision. The car was in excellent condition, very spacious and comfortable, and offered some amazing viewing options. Later in our stay, we also tried a minivan (just for 1 day) with a different provider and that was quite a downgrade in our opinion compared to the Jeep, so definitely recommend going for the jeep, especially if you are a bigger group.
Accommodations: We've opted for the budget options, but in reality our accommodation were at least mid class, which was a great surprise. other providers only offered budget accommodations for much higher prices. All of them were comfortable, and we've received in most cases the biggest, and best rooms in all of them (this might have been because of COVID, and the lack of guests).
Food: Food was surprisingly good, but it mostly depends on your accommodations. The packed lunch (when you're on a game drive during lunch) was a little underwhelming, but we didn't really mind.
Guide: Probably the most important factor to have a great safari is the guide. Our guide Joshua was simply amazing. An extremely kind, knowledgeable, caring person. We had great talks during the long hours of drive to the parks. He was able to just about answer any of our questions (we had a real life Wikipedia :)) regarding both Kenya, and the animals, landscape etc. He helped us tailor the trip so it fitted our needs best. He made sure every time that we see all the animals we wanted, and also that we had the best photos possible! He really went above and beyond to make our trip perfect, and we are extremely grateful for that!
We went to another 1 day safari with a different guide and company later in our holiday, and it was a huge difference, which made us just appreciate Joshua even more.
Overall we were extremely happy with our experience with Jockey Tours and Joshua, and would recommend them for anyone looking for a trustworthy operator in Kenya.

Unforgettable African Adventure with FCA
The communication before the safari was excellent. Jastone, a Safari Tour Operator General Manager from the FCA office was incredible. He helped us arrange everything. We visited Tarangire, Manyara and Ngorongoro. Everything from tthe airport pickup was great. Our guide Henry was perfect. All the time we were with him, he wanted to know if we were okay and our trip with him was definitely an adventure. We felt safe as he took care of us splendidly. He helped us to see BIG FIVE. Meals were tasty with great tableware and wine. The transport was in good condition. Lodges we slept in were nicer than expected. So if you plan to have a comfortable Safari, I would definitely recommend FCA. They will arrange everything WITH you and advise you, just to make sure you have what you wish and advise you on what is best to do on your wish list.

Fantastic 1 week in uganda
We have travelled the world several times a year with different guides but Hail tours Uganda as of now is best tour company with best guides in terms of being organized . Nelson who was our guide ,was knowledgeable about the wildlife and cultural as well .He kept us safe and drove safely through all different kinds of roads ,the vehicle was so comfortable.
The hotels that they selected for us were very good ,they were simply great! Our meals were also delicious we even tasted on the local food for our lunches and we were very happy with the local restaurants.
We believe that we received very good value and appreciated what hail tours offered for us.
We certainly recommend Hail tours uganda for anyone planning to visit uganda and see different things everyday.

Incredible and Professional Service
We had an amazing trip with Matoke to Uganda. We went over Christmas 2020 and they were very flexible and responsible and tailored a great trip for our family of 5. We would use them again in a heartbeat. Dunn was a fantastic guide for the 2 week trip
