Amazing 5-day Safari with Serengeti Wakanda! Outstanding experience!
5/5

The entire experience was excellent, and I absolutely recommend you book with Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris.

- Communication: easy, quick and simple. Batho was very flexible and helped us with everything we needed, even after the tour ended! Truly exceptional.
- Safari: our gifted driver, and knowledgeable guide - Malisa was amazing! He knows exactly were to go to find the animals, is both fun and kind, always making sure everyone is happy. He is clearly very experienced, I always felt quite safe with is driving, and it was trully impressive how he spotted all the different animals and some very unique moments (we even got to see a zebra giving birth and the baby taking its first steps!), and knows all the best spots to catch the sunrise. You can ask him anything about the animals or the parks and he will know the answer. Very impressive! They even provided excellent quality binoculars. It greatly surpassed our expectations!!
- Food: Truly exceptional! Dula is the best chef! We which we could have brought him home with us! We had 3 meals a day, delicious and with plenty of food (for dinner there was always soup, 2 courses, fresh bread and desert, and at lunch no lunch boxes for us - real, delicious, cooked food!). I still can't believe that he cooked us pie in the middle of the jungle, in the dark, with just a flashlight on his forehead. Very impressive! There always was plenty of water, beer, and wine. And there was a vegan girl and they always prepared food specially for her needs.
- Accommodation: Overall very good. We spent 2 nights in nice tents in the middle of the jungle - great experience, truly unique, and it was way more comfortable than what i expected, and 2 nights in a lodge.

I was a bit concerned, traveling in the middle of a covid pandemic, but I actually felt safer than at home. I think this is a great opportunity to get away from the cities and crowds, and visit these natural parks, that are now empty of tourists, and have so much to offer. It was an unique experience that I will always cherish.

Amazing!
5/5

We think that all was excellent. At first, we thought that we will have a problem with the change between Dollars and Tanzanian Shilling, because we only had tzs and they gave us the price in usd. When we arrive they had another price of change, but we can made a agreement and all was perfect. The guide was too kindly, he respect the times and was always friendly. We really enjoy this days with them!

Timely feedback and communication, very supportive and good service delivery.
5/5

Maurice was very helpful in keeping the constant communication line and was very supportive. Jimmy our driver guide was very knowledgeable and was very known in most places that we went to. He always gave us a brief history about most of the things that are in Uganda. I generally enjoyed my 5 days tour and the experience i got with the chimpanzees of bwindi made the trip worth while.

Gombe Chimp Trek - Adventure for only the Most Adventurous
5/5

We had no idea what to expect and could never have expected our simple desire to see chimpanzees in the wild to end up being perhaps the most remote place we've ever been. Gombe Tours was very responsive and did everything within their control to ensure a smooth trip for us. Again, it is isn't there fault that there just isn't a lot out there on the internet about what is all entailed in getting to Gombe and what accommodations are like. Let me summarize. Getting to Gombe is about a 6-7 hour ordeal. You start from Dar es Salaam with a pick up from your hotel at 5:30AM and take a 2 hour domestic flight to Kigoma Airport which is a bush airport if you've ever seen one. Maybe a flight or two in or out the whole day. Car ride with brief detour at a tourist spot to a boat where you spend 2+ hours on a small boat getting to the park by water. The day we traveled was very wavy and our boat ride was longer than two hours and we arrived soaked. We received a warm welcome from a park ranger/tour host upon arrival at the park and shown to our tent, which was nicer than expected given how remote we were, but not the full "glamping" level that some may have come to expect on safaris. Meals were provided in a dining hall. And, of course, the highlight were the chimp treks. It's everything we could have wanted. Certainly one must be in good health to participate in the treks. At the end of your final trek, you are provided boat ride and car transfer to a hotel for a stay until your flight. There were lots of pieces, but Gombe Tours ensured that the pieces all occurred smoothly. In fact, there was a miscommunication at our hotel regarding what was included and both Joshua and our driver went over and above immediately to take care of it. If I had to be very picky, I'd say the one thing we understood was occurring was a car transfer upon arrival back in Dar, which didn't occur, but we're talking the difference of a $10 taxi trip.

If you choose to embark on a Gombe chimp trek, have reasonable expectations of your location, but trust that Gombe Tours will take the stress out of the planning and execution.

Excellent, Fun, Precise , Helpful, Fullfilled my expectatives and more
5/5

Times has been difficult for everyone during this Covid Pandemic, but it was good to know that in the middle of chaos and confusions I had Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda, to hold my hand all the way with my travel plans and they were willing to make adjustments based on the circusmtances that rise during these time.
I spend a total of 7 days with the team traveling to what it has been a fantastic experience visiting National Parks in Uganda.
Not only the fact they took care of my needs but as a solo traveler it was great to have Guide Dennis as my companion and we had such a great time Touring and he became my shopping and photographer partner.
For sure Dennis went out of the way to make my stay in Uganda to be a dream come true.
I highly recomend Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda for any travel accomodations desired and more.
If you want to see the fantastics Places where I stayed you will be surprised.

Life changing safari experience!
5/5

Bud did an excellent job helping us plan the safari, and had excellent suggestions and answered our questions while planning. The experience was well taken care of and care free while in Kenya. We felt safe, cared for and educated while on safari. The tour operators became good friends that we stayed in contact with after our time in Kenya. We saw lots of animals and had great accommodations the whole trip.
