Extremely professional, knowledgeable and great value service
We had previously travelled in Uganda, with Nkuringo Walking Safaris, which is part of Nkuringo Safaris, and we had a great and unique experience. Nkuringo Lodge is great and is located in one of the most amazing and beautiful places in Africa. Due to our previous experience, we contacted Nkuringo Safaris to do a short trip to Rwanda (Lake Kivu and Nyungwe National Park) and DRC (Kahuzi-Biega National Park), for 10 nights and it was the right decision. Our driver/guide Julius in Rwanda was extremely professional and always taking care of us, and our driver/guide in DRC, Martin, was an asset, extremely professional and experienced, and took really good care of us. The accomodation was great value, well chosen - Paradise Malahide in Lake Kivu, to be close to a fishing village and be able to witness the movement of the fisherman, the market and the singing, also close to one of the trails which is part of the Congo-Nile trail; Orchids Safari Club in Bukavu, DRC, a charming, safe and absolutely lovely hotel; Nyungwe Top View Hotel, with great views, great staff and lovely accomodation. The food was always delicious, all personnel was very professional and friendly. For DRC, the visa was arranged prior to our arrival and finalized while crossing the border, quite stress free.
Overall, a great experience, great value for money and for sure, the right decision to have chosen Nkuringo Safaris Uganda! We definetely recommend it!

Excellent safari even in partly raining December
We cleared all the big 5 and others during our safari. Elephants, cheetahs, leopards, buffalos, lions, hippos, rhinos, zebras, hyenas, jackals, warthogs, jackals, impalas, various antelopes, wildebeests, monkeys, and I'm even checking whether I missed any other. Silas and James were knowledgeable and trustworthy guides, being very responsible to take care of everyone's satisfaction at every moment. In our batch we had two cars, and our guy Silas ensured each one had enough time to appreciate the animals and take good pictures and videos of them. Tito was an unbelievable chef cooking great meals at public camps, still makes me wonder how it is even possible. Sleeping in tents and taking shower at camp facilities were all okay for us, but some people may find it cold in early morning and not too neat in shared showers. At night, wild animals roam around your tent and may scare you, but nothing to worry too much if you abide by the safety rules. 6 people from different places of the world with different experiences travel together, and 12 people had meals together, adding interesting spices to the trip. All in all, it is the experience worth having in your life and I totally recommend this safari. One last thing is the weather, the rainy season could be a bit cold to you. You may get wet if you sest on the back row which is not covered when the roof is open, so make sure you wear gore-tex or any waterproof jacket if coming in the rainy season. Still, unless the road is too problematic, nothing will hinder you from seeing the animals. So, go for it.

Awesome, and well arranged 4day Murchison falls tour
My 4day Murchison falls tour with dream Bandas Uganda was the best experience ever. Everything with them was very organized with the warmest hospitality ever. My driver/ guide kept time and in this I had a chance to view the king of the jungle "lion" and other big fives during my game drives and enjoyed other activities as well. I was a solo traveler but enjoyed my tour extremely than expected. Great thanks to the Dream Bands Uganda team

Great team and response time
Justin did a great job replying to our questions and helping to arrange our safari. Elihaki was the safari driver from heaven and was incredibly knowledgeable when it came to finding the animals and helping us to learn more about them. We would return tomorrow if it meant we had Elihaki for another drive.

Gilbert was kind, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful!
Tanzania is an expensive country to travel to but Lion King helped make it as affordable as possible. Our guide and driver Gilbert was the best! He made our visit here memorable and special.

Lovely Safari Experience
I chose to book with Parrot Safaris because communications were super quick and helpful at all times. Joseph's attention to his clients is just perfect. This expectation I had also for the whole tour. Above all, that the driver, who is with us for 5 days, is explaining the dayli routine, or gives advices regarding what to bring (eg bring a warm jacket, take care on the food in the car --> monkeys, etc.); that was missing. We furthermore had to please every day for our bottle of water. We also did the Tansania part (with the partner 7 Wonders) and can compare. There, the guides explained the day routine every day, the bottle of water was already on the seat and whenever we stopped, they gave us information on route about cultur and natur. For me, the most important with such a travel is the group and the driver...
Accomondations were all good, with one Exception --> Jambo Mara Lodge in Maasai Mara. Food is not good and it is to far away from the animals due to the dry Maasai Mara. The car in Kenya was very old, slowly and very loud. And you sit a very long time in the car. :-) Communication about the Gorge in Hells gate should be improved (Gorge is closed and you have to pay extra for a short walk to a view point and hot springs - but don't miss it!). My favourite was Nakuru NP, Mount Longonot hike and for sure the Balloon Ride within Maasai Mara, Serengeti NP and Ngorongo Crater. Wonderful Experience!
