Great Safari
The support staff is excellent. They will provide whatever they can to make your stay enjoyable. The guides are extremely knowledgeable about the animals, and demographics of the region. The Serengeti is alive with wild game animals and non-game birds and animals as well. Everywhere you look is picturesque. The sounds of the lions at night is amazing and leaves one spellbound with the awesomeness of this magic land.

Just excellent! Lifetime experience!
Very professional and friendly service. The transfers were clean, punctual, the Serengeti accommodation above expectations, The Acacia Luxury Camp is a gem, and the safari is like a documentary in the National Geografic Channel. Elefants, Lions, Leopards, Buffalos, Hyppos, Giraffes, Hyenas, hundreds of other animals at few meters from us... Even we saw lions hunting warthog, just amazing... We recommend Uhuru Travel and we will come back soon to travel with them. Next trip with them: Ngorongoro!

A DREAM COME TRUE EXPERIENCE!
The owner of Golden Rwanda Safaris, Frank, exceeded our expectations. He gave us a superb itinerary which included Nyungwe Chimpanzee Trekking, Volcano National park, Gorilla, Monkeys & Akagera National park. Besides the breathtaking adventure of the chimpanzees, gorillas, and golden monkeys, we saw retriever monkeys. We were privileged and ecstatic to see elephants, giraffes, hippos, Zebras, waterbucks, pumbas, Nile crocodiles, an owl, and more. We experienced jungle, woodlands, swamps, lakes, and the Savannah.
Our guide and driver, Anaclet, was a wealth of knowledge and professionalism. There was a good mix of cultural activities including the King’s Palace, Inema Arts Center, and the Genocide Memorial in Kigali. We also went to Mount Kigali and did zip lining.
We highly recommend this established, locally-owned company. Golden Rwanda Safaris was always quick and conscientious to respond to inquiries and we would use them again. They worked within our budget and all accommodations were welcoming, spacious, spotless, and the service and food everywhere was excellent. The vehicles were cleaned everyday and they were comfortable and modern. We felt very safe during the COVID pandemic too.
We made the most wonderful memories in our hearts and on our cameras. A true trip of a lifetime.

Awesome experience at the heart of wildlife
The 4 days safari with our guide Fred was such an amazing experience. Fred knew all about wildlife and was very looking to satisfy everybody's wish in the car. I felt like 4 days was the best duration for a safari in Northern Tanzania because it allows you to visit 3 incredible national park (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire) and see all the big 5 -and even more!- (we only got to see elephants close to the car when in Tarangire for example, but they were so many!

1 week wonderful trip with blue crane
we did a 1 week safari with blue cran in the north of namibia. our tour took us over the erongo mountains, the etosha national park and from waterberg to düsternbrook. We stayed in 4 different lodges. it was a wonderful safari. we saw the big 5 up close and so many other wild animals, incredibly beautiful. our guide Sammy is a very personable person and he simply had a feel for where the animals were. besides the names of the animals, sammy also told us in detail about their habits. Our jeep was technically in perfect condition and so we really enjoyed the more than 1000 km driven distance. Blue crane's boss, Derek, is also very personable. Finally, he drove us to the airport. So, I can only highly recommend blue crane. top guide, top equipment. everything was fine. always happy with blue crane.

Perfectly organized and safe travel around Uganda.
Well organized trip. Communication with the organizer fast, immediate answers, quick action, helpfulness, striving for absolute client satisfaction and meeting any requirements. Any expected and unexpected objective changes in the travel program solved immediately and without the slightest problems. Maximum professional approach. The guide, Paul, was smiling, immediate, welcoming, casually communicative, with many years of experience accompanying tourists. It solves any unexpected problems immediately without any limited or disrupted client comfort.
The deal has always been very simple. No additional fees or "forced tips" were required during the entire 8-day trip. (only explicitly voluntary, about which the guide or organizer did not even need to know ..., purely at the client's discretion).
Visiting and traveling around Uganda is safe and hassle under the auspices of GRASSROTZ. The trip met expectations, we visited and saw everything we planned.The advantage of GRASSROTZ is that it has an office in Europe, so you can pay in euros to a bank account in the Netherlands. (Europeans do not lose unnecessary bank fees, which can reach 10% of the total price).
If you are considering a trip to Uganda, (and want to experience gorillas and chimpanzees really up close, Safari, sailing on the Nile, lots of hippos and crocodiles, a mighty waterfall, lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants and many other animals, unadulterated local villages, and beautifully diverse living environment), and you do not want to have any problems, agree with GRASSROTZ as soon as possible!
...and happy even now in a time of COVID madness... :-)
Warning! Don't forget to notice that all transfers between parks are quite time consuming, it gets up every day at 5:30 or 6:30, it's quite hot in the Entebbe area (36-38st C), it's cold again in the mountains (12-16s tC). Customize your program if you can, plan it for as many days as possible ... (8 days is the minimum, I recommend 10).

Really good value for money
We really enjoyed the safari and saw the big 5! It was easy to negotiate with the company and the tented lodges were amazing! We saw many animals in action and could warmly recommend.
I hoped for the guide to tell us more about the animals on his own initiative, now we mainly got answers to the questions we proposed. Always good to check the correct exchange rate by yourself.
The safari was really good value for money and the company is really trustworthy!
