Botwana Safari - Maun
The trip was fantastic. All the staff at the camp were lovely. The highlight had to be the mokoro excersions and the trip to Moremi. All the guides were incredibly knowledgeable.

Life time trip in the pâradise!
I contacted several tour operators but Epic Uganda Vacation came ôut to be my partner for my long waited trip to see gorillas in Uganda Specifically in Bwind N park since they already have another park with Gorillas. This is a trip that i have been dreaming about since my last exchanges with Jonathan who helped me to organise everything and he kept me informed about covid 19 guidelines in this beautiful country. I contacted Epic in early 2019 hoping to run this trip in 2020 but Coron virus disorganised all plans i had and this caused me to postpond the trip to 2022 .
Now this is how my trip went,when i arrived in Uganda at Entebbe international airport a guide was arleady waiting for me and drove me to the hotel where he briefed me through the tour program and also explained to me about all the border controls which i would not figre out by my self .James who was my chauffer not only that but he knew alot of different facts and good at spoting animals always happy,friendly and this made my trip great.
In Uganda we visted different beautful places including Murchson national park,Queen Elizabeth national park ,Kibale national park ,Ziwa rihno sanctuary and Bwindi national park for gorillas.the drives through these places was always beautiful and Uganda is the most beautiful country i have ever visted
I would ôfcourse recomend Epic Uganda to anyone looking to visiting Uganda.

Fantastic Dream African Safari
I do not have the words to describe our Tanzania trip with Zara Tours as it was an epic adventure!
Everything that could go well, actually did and in the end the 7 days of safari we did not want to leave.
We had a perfect guide – Shaban. He was very knowledgeable and professional all through the trip. He took the time to answer all our questions and shared much more drawn from his many experiences in the bush. We appreciate his skill in spotting wild game, because he was always the first one to point out where the animals were.
We visited all the places (parks/museums/schools…) in the itinerary and even had time to shop for gifts in Arusha before our flight out.
Accommodation spots selected by Zara were very nice with just the right mix of relaxation and comfort that one would desire in a safari.
I highly recommend Zara Tours

Our tour operator was an outstanding, knowledgeable and hospitable expert who went above and beyond
Our tour was amazing, truly a once in a lifetime experience. We got to see the absolute beauty of Uganda from the big cats, elephants and giraffe of on planes to the hippo and crocodile of the river. It was a wonderful experience and would recommend a Maleng safari to anyone and everyone.

Involvement
We chose Oakland among 10 other local agencies we received offers from when organizing out safari trip to Kenya. Why we chose them? First of all, they seemed most opened towards communication and answering to all of our requests. We got all we wanted and the staff was very friendly and open. The driver that was provided to us was experienced and very funny. We had a great time with him and he tried to offer us the best game drive (considering the 2 days we had at disposal). The accomodation that the agency suggested to have was top, from room facilities to superb food and friendly staff. We highly recommend Oakland Safari tours for their openess and professionalism.

Incredible Family Safari
Our family recently used Fede Tours for our first safari. Our two children, aged 6 &7 came on the safari with us. Martin was so easy to work with and promptly answered any questions we had about the booking process and the overall trip prior to our arrival. A few days before we arrived we were informed a conference had booked at the original camp we were scheduled to go to. We could stay or go to another camp. Martin recommended a new camp and pointed out all the advantages of going to the other camp. He gave us such great information to make our decision. The day it was time to leave, Jeff promptly picked us up at our hotel and took us to our camp. Once we arrived we were so happy with his recommendation to change camps. The proximity of where we were to the animals was better and it saved on daily driving. Jeff was a phenomenal guide! Your guide makes your trip. Jeff’s love for what he is doing and wanting his clients to see the beauty of the animals is easily seen through all of his explanations and searching to find the animals. Each night at dinner other tables asked what we had seen and they were so sad they didn’t see as much as us. Jeff loves his job and seeing the animals as much as we did. He wanted to ensure we had a wonderful time and he exceeded every expectation and worked with us when we wanted to change our schedule. In addition, Jeff was so calm, patient, and understanding to working with kids and their diverse needs and challenges. Our experience with Fede tours is filled with praise and high recommendations to work with Martin and Jeff. You won’t be disappointed if you book with them. If you take children, I highly recommend visiting your camps gift shop to see if they have the animal guide pamphlet for the reserve. We bought this halfway through and our kids excitedly were searching, checking off animals they saw, and reading to us about the animal. I cannot wait to come back and work with this team again!

THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME!
Exceptional safari! Truly blessed to have traveled with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. Guides and drivers were genuine, caring individuals that shared so much of their culture and backgrounds, making each stop very special. We did a private visit at Sheldrick to start the trip that was incredible. Lewa Wilderness, Loisaba Star Beds and andBeyond Bateleur Camp in Kenya were all unique, stunning places to visit. Staff made you feel like family and the food and accommodations were beyond our expectations. In Tanzania, the Four Seasons Lodge was beautiful and in Rwanda, Singita Kwitonda Lodge, just exceptional. We saw so many animals, up close and personal, it was so special to see them in their natural habitats. The gorillas are definitely worth a visit ~ we hiked with them 3 days. Everything was so expertly handled from Tanzania Exclusive Journeys ~ from lost luggage, to left-behind items, to getting the various Covid tests and results handled and especially whisking us through airports! It truly was a trip of a lifetime and we are so grateful for Tanzania Exclusive Journeys for making this so special.

Tanzania Roadside Expedions is an excellent Safari Operator.
We are so glad that we chose Tanzania Roadside Expeditions as our Safari Operator. We had two guides, one was driving and the other explained a lot about the national parks and the animals. Both were absolutely excellent! We saw so many animals in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, which are beautiful parks. In addition our guides took very good care for us. For example they drove over 25km in the middle of the night to bring a doctor to our accomodation when one of us was sick. We are very happy that we had such amazing and experienced guides! We absolutely recommend Tanzania Roadside Expeditions!

Asante Sana Shengena, for making our Dream come true!
After searching through many companies to plan our first Safari, we made a wonderful choice. Shengena made our dream come true, they had very reasonable prices and were flexible with the accomodations. Deus was very quick at replying our emails and answering all our questions. Our guide/driver Goldwin was super friendly and kind, very professional person with a lots of knowledge about the animals and vegetation. He knew where to find all the animals and we were lucky to see the Big 5, also he was really good at driving through the rough and muddy roads. Thanks to Goldwin we had the pleasure to stop by at one of many Masai Villages on our way back from Seregenti, we really enjoyed the time we spent together, we made some memorable moments. The accomadations were incredible, Kontiki campsite was extraordinaire! very clean and food was delicious, the whole staff was Amazing very nice people we had a great time sharing our cultures with eachother at the firepit, the Manager Gabriel was fantastic always attentive with ours needs. We would not hesitate to recommend Shegena to anyone. They are a small company who is truly committed to customer satisfaction. The whole the team was Amazing and Professional, we couldn't be more happy with our choice.
Thank you Shengena!
