Outstanding. Recommend without hesitation
Superb adventure of a lifetime with KASC who could not have done any more to ensure we had the most incredible, memorable safari. Their patience even before we left the UK, answering our questions and providing the most invaluable advice & information was beyond expectations & this first class service continued throughout. Dennis is the font of all knowledge, it is our honor & privilege to have him alongside us. Unforgettable experience with the best!

Professional company who deliver!
From planning to execution a perfect safari! The lodges chosen were luxurious with outstanding hospitality and well placed for easy game drives and animal sightings. And boy in the main due tour amazing tour guide Ras, we saw it all ! Lions, cheetah, Rhinoes and of course all the herds. Lunches and sundowners in the veld! Ras was not only professional but very informative and patient. He went the extra mile to make sure we saw everything. The itinerary was excellent allowing us to enjoy various differing terrains with their unique animals. Highly recommend Spirit of Kenya as your safari company!

A fabulous experience
We had an amazing trip to Uganda with Julius, our guide from Speke. Julius was so knowledgeable and professional and we would definitely recommend him to friends doing the same tour. Everything went according to plan and we saw an amazing amount of wildlife and each of the parks were so different. Although the highlights were the gorillas, chimps and lions, we saw so much more that opened our eyes to the natural world. We've travelled to over 80 countries and Uganda is now in our top 3 countries for an amazing all round travel experience.

Excellent Guide with a lot of knowledge
We had a 6 day trip with Meleck John. He is a very relaxing guide and with his experience and relaxing manner showed us the beautiful nature of Tanzania (Tarangiere, Lake Manyara, Serengeti Central, North Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater). We are totally impressed and are already looking forward to the next tour with him.
Thank you much for this week.

Absolutely amazing tour and tour guide!
We got picked up directly from our hotel and drove to the Mikumi National Park. Our tour guide was really great. He knew a lot about the animals and the way they are living inside the nature of the park. He was very respectful of the environment and the animals. We were really lucky to see so many animals. We can totally recommend our Guide William!

Unforgettable experience in the pearl of Africa
Gorillas were definitely on top of our must see list whilst visiting Africa and our experience went indeed beyond expectations.
We booked a 4-day gorilla trekking in Uganda: landing in Entebbe, we hit the road to Mbarara where we spent the first night. The day after we made it to Kisoro and prepared for the gorilla trekking, which took place on the third day in Mgahinga National Park.
The experience cannot be put in words. It’s true that we spent long hours in the car, but the colorful and authentic landscapes of Uganda made it quite short - we got a glimpse of Ugandan culture and we spontaneously stopped to lunch and even have some tasty bananas.
Abdala was an extremely kind guide and driver - he taught us a lot about Uganda and ensured everything went smooth during the whole experience. He also showed us local cuisine places which we would never have found on our own - I think we tried the best brown rice in our lives in Kisoro!
And the GORILLAS were the real star: we were so close to them that we really felt no boundaries. It is a once in a lifetime experience that is really worth the permits price, the road and all the efforts. You could tell how passionate Solomon, our gorilla trekking guide, was. And he definitely transferred it to us!
Besides, it was not only about the trip, it was about the preparation: Edris, the Uzuri Safaris Manager, was there to answer all our questions and requests (and we had a lot !!) whilst we were preparing for our tip and he was also there to solve any last minute and on the spot issues.
With Uzuri safaris we had a breathtaking experience in Uganda, we recommend it 100000% to anyone willing to discover a country full of beautiful corners, beautiful and smiley people and beautiful gorillas.
Five stars to them

He looked after all our needs, and made sure we were able to see as many animals as possible.
I came with my teenage son.
We had a wonderful time. The accomodation and warm shower in the bush was very pleasant.
We had an extremely informed guide with a team that took care of everything to ensure we were able to make the most of our camping trip.

It crossed all our expectations - we saw all the big 5 including lion cubs which was a highlight! The Safari operators had good communication, the stays were good. Overall the experience exceeded expectations

could not have asked for more... it was absolutely fantastic experience
This was my second trip to South Africa, and for that matter, second safari at Kruger National Park. Surely there was a bit of hesitation at the start, especially due to reports on media and certain blogs, strikes and load shedding etc.... Surely, South Africa has her share of challenges just like many other places but this place is magical in my view.
About the tour group, Wildlife safaris, from the beginning they were very professional. Jonathan with whom I had my initial communications was very professional, extremely helpful and courteous. Always answered my questions to the point and made additional helpful suggestions when needed. Also I had a positive experience with Lorraine in the office.
Our tour guide was Simon Taylor. He was absolutely fantastic. Not only his knowledge, but his passion for nature and African Wildlife is commendable. He took every possible effort one can possibly take to show us more and more animals. I have no doubt that he has seen all that on many of his trips to Kruger yet he was so eager to spot the animals as if it was his first visit. He is an absolutely super guide who is well organized, efficient in time management, and above all so passionate about his work and extremely friendly. We also had a super good group, six of us altogether from different parts of the world, but we gel well as a group, and overall, had a fantastic 4 day safari... spotting the big 5 twice in 4 days. All that thanks to Simon's effort.
