Excellent overall
Excellent safari overall, had a great driver, saw a brilliant variety of animals and the accommodation was overall not too bad. One down side was there was a lot of driving overall, day three particularly, once you've visited the Masai is basically all driving. However, overall you will not find better for this kind of money.

Beautiful safari experience, for a reasonable price
Me and my girlfriend joined a group camping safari of 3 days and were more than satisfied.
The scenery of the Serengeti NP and the Ngorongoro crater are outstanding and home to plenty of animals.
The agency personnel was very friendly and communication with them very smooth, we cleared all questions and doubts by chatting on Whatsapp.
In general, we liked how little about the safari was superflous. The group was well adjusted. We chose to sleep in tents and loved it. The food was abundant and by far above expectations (big up for the chef), and it was fun to eat all together. The first day there was a big downpour, but it only made everything more fun (and fresh).
We were looking for the cheapest options that would provide value, and were indeed not disappointed.

Safari partners was absolutely amazing, well organized and very accommodating
Trip of a lifetime
A safari was always on my bucket list. We finally decided to go and I searched for a safari tour operator. There were so many to choose from. Safari partners popped up on one of my searches. I read the reviews and decided to contact them. I talked to Chris and I felt at ease dealing with him. He always answered all my questions quickly. I never had to follow up with anything. Jennifer was great also. They designed an itinerary for me and the choice of camps were amazing. We went to Lewa Safari camp and Mara crossing camps. They were exceptional in different ways. The service was impeccable. Every thing was taken care of and there were no worries. When we stepped off the plane at Lewa there was a cool towel and a drink awaiting us. I thought wow what a welcome. The staff at both camps were five star plus. We made many friendships along the way. We went in knowing this was going to be a great trip and it exceeded all our expectations.Chris kept within the budget that I proposed to him. I would definitely recommend Safari partners to anyone looking to plan a safari. You will not be disappointed.

Do your research but be sure to choose Speke.
Its always been on our bucket list to go gorilla trekking.The first choice to make was Rwanda or Uganda and looking at costs and travel routes we chose Uganda. Now like me you've probably trawled through the reviews and tried to get as much information you can from the limited few lines that travellers write, and like me you'll probably struggle to really differentiate between them. So I sent off emails to numerous companies asking questions, confirming prices etc. The first thing I noticed about Speke was the quick and informative responses I got from Isabella, she even replied on the weekends and late in the evening UK time. Lots of questions later and I had developed a good level of rapport and trust with her.
She helped tailor the trip so that we drove from Entebbe to Bwindi with an overnight stop at Lake Mburo National Park and then onto 4 Gorillas Lodge on the borders of Bwindi National Park. We spent 2 nights at the Lodge and did 1 day of trekking. It was a hard 3 hour trek in the heat but the hour we spent with the gorilla family made it all worth it. We then caught the early morning flight back to Entebbe. She happily adjusted the trip and route a few times so that it met our exacting requirements and budget.
The trip also started perfectly as the company had organised an agent to literally meet us as we got off the plane and escorted us through priority immigration, customs and then handed us over to our guide.
The other outstanding part of this tour was our driver/guide Emmanuel. He was polite, helpful, considerate and very knowledgeable, everything you would want on a tour like this.
Payments (deposit and balance) were made without any drama or pressure from the company and I was kept fully informed as the money transfers occurred.
So by all means do your research and due diligence but I think you'd struggle to find a tour company in Uganda that will look after you like Speke does. (I've also let the team at Speke know that I'm happy to communicate by email with any prospective clients).
Good luck on your travels.

Trip of a lifetime!
Lomo Tanzania Safari planned the trip of a lifetime for me. It was a 12-day trip to Rwanda and Tanzania and each day was better than the day before. We spent 2 days in Rwanda on gorilla treks. The scenery was beautiful, and the country was clean and safe. I will never forget seeing the first gorilla. He took my breath away! The gorilla trek was a unique experience that I would definitely recommend. After leaving Rwanda we flew to Tanzania and stayed at the beautiful Siringit Camp in central Serengeti and then Klein’s Camp in northern Serengeti. The accommodations and food were first class. We saw countless zebras and wildebeest, giraffes, elephants, lions, cheetahs, and even a leopard sleeping in a tree. Adam and Erasto were our drivers and guides in Tanzania, and they were incredibly knowledgeable and made the safaris fun and customized to what we wanted to see and do each day. I believe that is the best part of Lomo Tanzania Safari—they will create a unique experience for YOU! You tell them what you want to do and see, and they create an itinerary for you. Look no further than Lomo Tanzania Safari!!!

Very accommodating and attentive!
Tourist Line Safaris did not disappoint. They were very accommodating to my specific safari request to make sure I had the perfect experience. Lilian was very attentive and was very helpful. My main guide was Patrick! He was amazing. He communicated well regarding itineraries and shared information about the locations and animals. Due to me having a special schedule, I stayed at the Masai Mara an extra day. I had Felix as my guide on this day. He was also great and helped us see the leopard! After meeting back up with my original group and Patrick, we continue to have a great time in Amboseli NP. The other travelers in my vehicle were fun to chat with and I made some new friends! I booked a last minute half day safari at Nairobi NP before my flight back home and Lilian was quick to make it happen. I couldn’t be more pleased with the price, services, and locations. Definitely will be booking with Tourist Line Safaris in the future. Can’t wait to come back to Kenya!

Unforgettable experience. 4 days unique
We passed 4 days with Cya, Daoudi and Amadi, it was very nice.
We visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Enough to see all we expected.
The night we slept in the middle of Serengeti was magic
I recommand this trip!

High recommend
We booked with Serengeti African Tours and they really went above and beyond. We originally contacted a number of safari tour operators narrowing it down to three or four. Serengeti African Tours really stood out from the crowd. Lucas communication is excellent. We were able to make several changes and Lucas accommodated everything for us. He was always quick to respond and provided a really detailed itinerary. We were picked up on time and had the best time. Our transfer drivers to and from the airport were lovely and the entire trip was exactly as promised. Lucas booked some wonderful accommodations for us, and the route we took was well thought out giving us sufficient time in each park but also time to relax and soak in the amazing areas where we stayed. The absolute icing on the cake though was our guide Aboh. He was so knowledgeable, warm and friendly. He was fun to be around and politely laughed at all our jokes, even the ones that weren't funny. He was a total gentleman and really made our trip so much more wonderful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend safari soles for anyone looking for a top class safari operator
