Safari Guide is First Class
Good organisation and client management from the central booking team. But we feel the difference is the quality of the guide. Gabriel the Senior Guide made us feel safe and gave us as a family the most rounded education of Tanzania - not just about the animals but the country, people, geography - just amazing!! The vehicle was safe and reliable and very comfortable for our family of 4.

Easy to communicate, very friendly, uncomplicated and reliable.
We did the Selous and Mikumi NP Safaris. The trip was very well organised, the guide/driver gave us nice instructions and the car.
The tour was an experience from the first minute on. The way to the national parks were interesting and difficult to take with a very nice landscape. But the car haven't had any problems with the road.
Our guide Hassan was great, he was friendly, witty and knows a lot about the safaris and the wildlife.
The best about him is that he never lost his passion for the Safari animals even though he works as a safari guide for more than 20 years. He was as excited to see the animals as we were.
The accommodations were lovely, authentic and very good. The food was tasty and healthy.
Both parks are completely different and I can recommend doing both to see different animals in different settings.
I can highly recommend the Safari offered for Mikumi NP and Selous NP.

21 days amazing Uganda nature and culture experience
After a first experience of my parents-in-law travelling through Uganda with PearlAfric back in 2013, we decided in 2021 to get in touch again with PearlAfric for organizing a tour we wanted to do in 2022 with the whole family (11 people, 3 families). As from the start the communication with Innocent from PearlAfric was very open, friendly and professionally. The whole process of deciding on the exact tour, taking into account our wishes, leaving flexibility when needed (eg. to visit a local project we have been supporting for many years) and overcoming some hurdles (like getting the youngest of 12 approved for the gorilla trekking) was very constructive, very efficient and very well managed.
With a good peace of mind we took our plane on the 22nd of July 2022 to Uganda. From our arrival at Entebbe, until flying back home, every single thing was perfectly organized and we were the whole time in the very capable hands of our experienced drivers/guides Tony (Hannington) and Abdul. We have had so many interesting, amazing, touching and inspiring experiences, meeting the local cultures throughout Uganda, visiting the national parks discovering so many wonderful animals (benefiting from the expert eyes and knowledge of our guides), enjoying the beautiful lodges and enjoying the lovely and super friendly people of Uganda.
Just before our last week of the 3 weeks, Abdul suddenly had to leave for personal reasons and PearlAfric managed a swift replacement of Abdul (giving him the time needed) by Prim, another excellent driver/guide. This is just another proof of the quality of the team of PearlAfric, and the heart of PearlAfric for its team. Special thanks also to Tony for his care, his problemsolving skills and his professionalism.
We always prefer, when travelling through countries in other continents, to work with local travel companies, because they know their own countries the best, we ensure that what we pay is 100% benefiting the local country and you can get very good value for money. PearlAfric is an excellent proof that this approach is a very good choice.

Travel from 22-July to 12 August.
Hi Fred,
I am providing to you a feedback about our travel.
We have been usually travelling to different Africa countries, and we have experiences with other tour companies.
The Itinerary were quite good, wildlife, community interactions, activities, natural parks, treekings, etc.
Eddie is a good chauffeur-driver, nice person, but not a tourist guide. He is mute, any explanations, not interesting information about Uganda. For instance, when I lost my mobile phone he rejected to call me to make the phone ring, etc.
Sandton Hotel in Kasese:
• room was not ready when we arrived around 13:00
• small room with two individual beds (see picture attached).
• No tap water in whole day.
…and finally we had to look for other lodge by ourselves without any compensation or reimbursement from your side.
Too wicked and ugly to make us pay breakfast first day.
We experienced 2 days with long car drive, leaving around 7:00-7:30 and arriving lodge around 16:00-16:30 without stops for lunch with my daughter starving (just to fill up the tank), and pack lunch either despite our suggestions to pick up one.
Original 2Friends Beach Hotel for last day changed by other lower category, without swimming pool,
No dinner covered last day despite all meals were included in the proposal.
No air conditioning in the car the last 5 days.
No water available last day, and we had to buy it.
Early mornings wake up (no problem) but some days arriving to the next lodge also early 15:00-16:00 without any activity in the evening (waste of time).
We did 1 hour quad instead 4 hours as stated in the itinerary.
In the contract it informed it was full meals, but we had to pay breakfast first day and dinner last day.
We are very sorry to say EAJS has not reached our expectations and it has been a disappointment. We should search other alternatives for our 2023 travel to Rwanda.
We can’t recommend it to any of our family and friends plan to travel to Africa and we hope our critics help you make it better.
Best regards,

Mo Afrika tours was amazing to work with - SUPER responsive, friendly, and offered expert expert gui
We had a wonderful experience in the planning of our Safari and had an absolutely FANTASTICALLY serene and beautiful well thought out holiday! We started planning our Safari with Mo Afrika Tours in the fall of 2020, ever hopeful the pandemic would be waning and vaccinations fast and efficiently administered. Well that didn't quite happen and our plans for 2021 had to be rescheduled for 2022. Mo Afrika Tours was SUPER helpful, responsive, and helped us plan what felt like a 5 star vacation on maybe a 3 star budget. They follow through on communications was superb. The advice was spot on. The patience , humor and caring on display. We consider ourselves to be extremely lucky we accidentally found this tour company after reading some reviews of Mo Afrika and deciding to plan our our trip in this way. From start to finish we couldn't have been happier. All of the accommodations were clean, stylish and comfortable. The food was great! and our Safari guides were SUPER knowledgeable, skilled, helpful and fun - all very nice human beings It was a great trip, a great value for the money. Mo Afrika Tours helped us to make the best choices for our priorities. They are truly wonderful and we would recommend Mo Afrika Tours to anyone and everyone. Top Notch Value for Money on the Bakubung bush lodge and the full day ultimate pilanesberg tour! Well organized (made it so simple!) and flexible too with a high level of expertise. Bravooo! And MANY THANKS! P.S. - we saw all the BIG 5! - and so many more just simply it was AMAZING!
