Very good value for money! :-)
We did the 7 days camping safari in the northern circit with Wakanda Tours and were very happy with our choice. Everything was very well organized and we had to worry about nothing. The staff was very professional and food was amazing! We would definately go with Wakanda tours again!

Attentive and professional
We are an older couple visiting our son and his family who live and work in Kampala. We will be here for several months so we expect to take several short excursions around Uganda while we’re here. I researched tour companies, selected what I believed to be the five best suited to provide what we wanted, and I contacted them, asking for itinerary proposals. Of the five Grassrootz was by far the most responsive and professional, and their representative here in Kampala, Anne, provided us with exactly what we wanted at a very competitive price. Although they were not the least expensive, I felt they were definitely the most professional, and I was confident in my choice.
Our first excursion included my wife and me plus our son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. We did a five day trip to Murchison Falls with Moses as our driver and guide. We were booked at the Murchison River Lodge which we found to be adequate to our needs, but not luxurious. It was quite acceptable. During our stay we did two game drives, a guided game walk, river cruises both upstream to the falls and downstream to the delta, and a drive to the top of the falls.
Although we were very happy with Grassrootz overall I have given them only four stars instead of five for what we felt was one shortcoming in their service. It is true that due to Covid 19 tourism in Uganda has been severely impacted, and lodges and services are only now recovering. As a result we felt that Grassrootz was not quite on top of the situation existing at Murchison Falls which impacted our overall experience. Highway and bridge construction through the park has seriously limited access to the game tracks north of the river, and the river is at perpetual flood stage due to a disastrous water management project. Bridge construction combined with discontinuation of ferry service due to flooding severely limited our ability to do game drives at optimal times as our lodge was on the south bank of the river. The flooding of the river has not only closed the hiking trail from the base to the top of the falls, but it has completely drowned the delta causing much of the birdlife that was there to relocate. I will reserve comment on these joint Chinese/Ugandan projects other than to say that I fear for the future of the park. In any case, I believe Grassrootz should have been more aware of the situation at Murchison, and they should have provided us with this information ahead of time.
In spite of this I continue to have confidence in Anne, and I look forward to working with her in planning more short excursions in Uganda during our prolonged stay. She has already given us a proposal for a trip to Lake Mburo and Kibale which we expect to do next. I believe Grassrootz is a five star operation with quality people, so I will continue to utilize their services, and I will write off our experience at Murchison Falls as just one more casualty of the Covid pandemic.

Lovely safari with a reliable company
We travelled to Kenya last year and the safari was great! We booked a 9 day 8 nights safari, our guide was Mike. Mike was very knowleageble about animals, and showed us best places to see animals. He always find the best place to do shotshoot before other cars, drive stablly, very experienced and nice to everyone. We loved our accomodation for the whole safari, very luxury and comfortable, unique experience from other countries. We heard lion roaring in the night, it was very excited. Thank you for the best memory in Kenya.

Amazing Safari
Jong was excellent in communication, the safari went all well. Vincent was our driver, he was responsible and professional. Fairmont Mt Kenia Safari Club was the best accomodation, we loved most and even visited the animal orphrange.

Great Safari with Altezza
I would like to thank the Altezza team for organizing our honeymoon. I’ve never thought that a vacation in Africa could be that comfortable! We were greeted at the airport by a neatly-clothed and well-mannered safari guide, who unobtrusively accompanied us nearly everywhere and told us about Tanzania and wildlife. Champagne and treats awaited us at each and every hotel we visited. Special praise to the safari vehicle - it was spacious, comfortable and new. Also, I’d like to give a special mention to our guide, his name was Omary, he told a lot of interesting facts about wild animals and the park, while always being tactful and calm. If we ever decide to go to Tanzania again, Altezza will be our choice! Everything was superb!

Our experience with Altezza
We enjoyed both Kilimanjaro climbing and the safari vibes in Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Serengeti. Those who contact the Altezza Travel Company won’t ever regret it. A serious and responsible tour operator.
