Incredible experience thanks to Nkuringo Safaris!
Uganda
We were in Uganda early Dec 2022 and had a fabulous time. Our trip was fully organized by a travel agency in France, Luxethika, and a travel agency in Uganda, Nkuringo Safaris with limited input from us except that we wanted to see the mountain gorillas. Once we landed we were immediately taken care of by the team at Nkuringo and we could not have dreamt of better. Our trip was tailored perfectly to our wishes with the perfect balance between adventure and rest. Uganda is a beautiful country and offers so much much than the gorillas that represent already an experience of a lifetime. We had completely underestimated the variety and richness of what the country has to offer in terms of fauna, flora, landscapes, services, gorgeous hotels and cuisine. Absolutely everyone we met during our trip was of utmost kindness and attention. We felt safe and cared for at anytime whether it be in hotels or during walks or safaris with rangers. But our experience wouldn’t have been the same without our guide at Nkuringo: Jack. Jack was truly amazing and more than a guide, he has become a friend. In addition to being the kindest and most knowledgeable person (it was impressive the amount of bird species he knew!), he always went the extra mile so we could have the best experience in every activity we would be doing (and even managed to find TVs so we could watch the worldcup!). As a result, we were able to be alone with my husband (and the rangers of course) with the gorillas. Throughout our trip we traveled through Uganda and Jack was always teaching us something specific about the area we were visiting. Uganda is a beautiful country indeed but Jack made our trip absolutely unforgettable. We now have to come back to visit the northern part of the country!

Fantastic experience with Gorillas in Uganda
Our travel was amazing and all the Speke Uganda Holidays team made it possible.
They were very professional and responsive when preparing the travel from abroad and following up once we arrived.
Our tour guide, Africano, was fantastic, very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs.
We cannot recommend their services enough.

Amazing! Adelle helped me book the trip only three days in advance!!
I'm a last-minute kind of guy... I had an idea to go on a safari on a Wednesday night; I contacted Adelle the following day and flew with my daughter on a trip of a lifetime the following Sunday! Adelle took care of every small detail to ensure we had the best experience, staying at the most amazing places in Kruger! Highly recommended!!

Kajie Safaris EXCEEDED our expectations
We booked this trip 3 years ago, just before COVID, and finally realized our dream adventure a few weeks ago. Ronald was always available to answer questions via email or WhatsApp. Simon was our brilliant guide/driver. I cannot say enough or give enough praise to Kajie Safaris for exceeding our expectations. Simon seemed to have an extra set of eyes…one on the road ahead and one scanning for animals and birds. His knowledge of nature is vast. His love and pride of beautiful Uganda is quite evident. We fell in love with Uganda too. We got to meet Ronald as he was with some clients whose tour intersected ours a couple of times. Ronald and Simon took care of so may little details and never hesitated to assist. We HIGHLY recommend Kajie Safaris

Fantastic 5 Day / 4 Night Adventure!
We decided to go on a safari in Kenya in late November and inquired from the multitude of agencies online. Many wrote back, but Extra Miles was one of the only ones to give us a quote with an itinerary and pictures of the lodges that we would be staying at. We decided to pick the "Mid-Range" package. Ann was our point of contact and answered all our questions in a timely manner via email leading up to the safari in late December.
When we arrived in Nairobi, we stayed at a hotel the first night. James was our guide and he met us at 7 the following morning. Ann also greeted us to give us a briefing about our 5 day adventure. We received hats, blankets, and a couple of other gifts from the company before setting off to Masai Mara. The initial drive was long and bumpy towards the end, but the scenery was beautiful.
We ended up staying in Masai Mara for 2 nights, Lake Nakuru for 1 night, and Lake Naivasha for 1 night. All the lodges we stayed at were comfortable and the service was top notch. Each meal was provided buffet style with lots of different options to choose from. We enjoyed our stay at each of the lodges that we had stayed at.
James would greet us each day and take us on our game drives. He was very courteous and very helpful throughout the week. He was an expert driver at Masai Mara and we were able to see the "Big 5" and get loads of photos. At the end of the week, James dropped us off at our new hotel that we had booked.
All in all, it was a great experience and we definitely recommend Extra Miles for a safari!

Safari Kenya December 2022
We were travelling with mufasa from the 5th to the 14th of December 2022.
We took a private tour with them in a van including a night in Nairobi for relaxing and a safari in tsavo west and east, amboseli, lake navasha and lake nakuru and the last stop was the masai mara.
How were the game drives by their Professional and skilled guide Odhis?
Odhis was a very good driver. We felt very safe with him on the roads and during the game drives he was always finding the best spot for taking pictures of the animals while being also very respectful with them, giving them space and leaving them alone after some time.
He was able to explain also some things about the life and habitat of the animals and he explain also some things about culture and politics in Kenya.
We were also always agreeing three day before the schedule of the next day. We would recommend Odhis to any of you!
How were the camps we provided during the trip?
We took the middle range category and all the camps were great. Service and food were amazing in all of them and the facilities were really beautiful, being able to enjoy wildlife from the window or from the swimming pool.
How did you love our services in general from start to end and communication-wise?
Since we contact Joshep for information about the safari, communication was very smooth. He was answering our questions and providing us with the requested information. He came im person to the hotel, the night before the tour started for breafing us about the tour and get paod. Everything what was written in the email was done during the tour. However we had to modify the planning of the last day and divide it into the las two days since it would have been impossible to complete everything in just one day taking into account the long distances between one park and another. This is maybe the only negative point about this part.
Did we meet your expectations?
Our expectations were met by far! Everything worked as agreed since the moment we arrived into Nairobi Airport. We were able to see all big fives several times, from many perspectives and in a lot of different situations so we loved it.
The only thing we would maybe modify is to plan some relaxing afternoons in the hotel instead of so many game drives since at the end it is a lot ot time in the car which make the trip a little bit exhausting.
All in all we really enjoyed the service, quality and honesty of Mufasa Tours. If we would make a Safari in Kenya again we would repeat with them for sure.
Thanks a lot to Odhis and Joseph!!
Hakuna matata!!
