Wonderful personalized experience.
When planning my Uganda trip, I was originally just looking for a driver but not necessarily a guide and I came across Wyclef's name in the TripAdvisor reviews of Gorillas and Beyond Safaris. The reviews I read were stellar so I reached out to him. In summary, those stellar reviews are accurate. From the first communication I had with Wyclef via email he was responsive, thorough and very patient with all my inquiries. He actually ended up being the BEST THING to happen to our trip because he turned out to be so much more than just a driver/guide for our 22 day trip around Uganda. He became a KEY PLAYER in making our trip to Uganda truly a trip of a lifetime. I don't even know where to start with this review because he had such an impact on our trip that he, his family/friends and lodge have truly become friends we will keep in contact with long after the trip is just memories.
One of the advantages of going with Wyclef instead of a tour group is that not only is he giving you a private tour that caters to your personal requests, there is a lot of flexibility if/when you decide to change or tweak your itinerary. We came to Wycef with own own ideas and he filled in the missing details and made suggestions on how to improve on our ideas. He really knows Uganda, the tourist highlights and various lodges that suit your budget/lifestyle. He was also a fabulous connection between us and the local culture since he would explain different foods, cultures, the history of Uganda, etc. We even had some unconventional suggestions that he assisted us with, such as biking for a couple of days in the countryside. He not only organized the bicycles, he also met us along the way on a beautiful overlook with a snack of fresh pineapple. We also requested to hike a few days in the lesser known and lesser visited Rwenzori National Park. He not only organized the trip with the mountaineering guides but he also did the hike with us and summitted his first 15,000ft peak during this trip - no easy feat!!!
It was the little things he added that made this trip special. Somehow Wyclef found out that it was my birthday during my Uganda trip and he managed to surprise me with an entire schoolhouse of children singing me a chorus of "Happy Birthday" along with delivering me a personalized birthday cake. And bird viewing - don't forget the birds! Many people do game drives to see the big animals, but Wyclef would be able to identify even the smallest birds and it goes without saying that Uganda has some absolutely gorgeous colorful birds that we would have overlooked without his keen eye. He was a trooper up to the very end of our trip, when I mentioned to him there was one last souvenior that I wanted - he managed to make a special stop by a market en route to the airport just so I could purchase this item.
In the end, Wyclef became more than just a guide during our time in Uganda, he truly made our trip extra special and became a friend across the miles.

Excellent customer service and support.
The customer service I received from Sandra has been impeccable. From the moment we first made contact when we were just planning our trip she has made everything so easy. Recommending where to stay and what to do whilst we were there etc. The little insider tips and suggestions really helped. Sandra has stayed in constant contact throughout covid with updates and local news. I will definitely book again with them.

The Tour Operator was Awesome from the start to the finish of the of a lifetime.
All the locations of the trip were well staffed and clean. The US dollar went a long way in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. We saw 4 of the Big 5 Water Buffalos,Lions , Rhinoceros and Elephants . The Leopards only come out at night to hunt, no one wanted to go looking for them. Most of the Safari Sites were in the wild. All the countries were beautiful landscapes that went for miles and miles. All of the staff were always available for questions and anything you needed. All drivers were very personable and could answer any questions that we all had . There was 9 family and friends in our group. Each one would recommend this trip of a lifetime to anyone. We were always safe and looked after no matter where we were.

3Days Private Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti Park Tour
What an incredible experience! Me and my friend were on December 2021 the first time in Tanzania and we spent 3days for the Safari and it was really great! Thanks to Abouh for the perfect organisation: he is the best guide of Arusha, gentle and well prepared about all the animals and the African culture, always ready to explain us a lot of things. I really recommend Sandpiper Safari and I hope to come again as soon as possible,
Thank you so much Africa and a special thanks to Abouh

All arrangements/activities exceeded our expectations!
We had excellent experiences with all the arranged tours and transfers, for our first visit to South Africa. Andre and the agency were very patient during the process as I navigated how best to coordinate my dates for the activities.
Our first adventure was for a trip to Addo via transport from Port Elizabeth. The transfer was enjoyable as our driver was very friendly and shared his knowledge of the area. The accommodations at the lodge in Addo were wonderful, as were all the staff and the dining hall offerings. Our safari guide Donald in Addo was fantastic, and incredibly knowledgeable and we had such a great day with him. Our additional tours by canoe, and on ATV’s with Chris were also exceptional, even while experiencing a locust swarm! I would definitely return and repeat those visits/tours.
Our time at Kruger went equally as smoothly. Comfortable transfer, great lodge with warm friendly staff and delicious meals also. Our safari experiences there were also very fulfilling and exceeded our expectations. for a “budget” safari we saw the big five on our first trip and left having seen an incredible total of 34 lions during our stay!
I plan to book again with Safari With Us in the future for return trips to S Africa and further! They were so easy to work with and were very patient and communicative in addition to setting us up with top notch services and accommodations at reasonable prices.

Great trip to Africa
Go Touchdown has done a great job despite the pandemic. Our group of 9 bought the African Safari package 2 years ago and they help us reschedule our trip several times...outstanding!
The trip was a true bucket list experience and Go Touchdown provided us with great drivers, guides and places to stay. Everything was top notch and we highly recommend them for all travel experiences.
