Simply amazing
I am a Kenyan but studied in Kampala for 3 years and can say I know the city well. I returned to Kampala on my annual leave in June last year to visit my former class mate friend, Joan. She had organized a 3day trip to Murchison Falls National Park. At that time, since I didn’t organize the trip, I didn’t know whether it was a company or Joan just hired a car & driver for the trip. What I can say though, is that the guy who drove us was really nice. He knew so many animals, plants, bird and even tree names off head. He was so nice & respectful.
When Joan came over to Kenya in March this year, I thought of a longer trip when I returned to Uganda. As we were making plans for another wildlife adventure, she advised use the same company we used the other time. This is when I realized it was Lady Guide Safaris. I took Willy’s contact, the guy who drove us on the 3day trip. I have been exchanging e-mails, whatsaap & calls with him and their office. What I can say is, they are so quick, even when it’s not Willy that replies, hey, I still get well coordinated information. Joan had a chance to visit their office (to make a deposit) and she says they were exceptionally nice and very organized.
I am very confident that our Easter trip of 9th-14th April 2020 will be a success because I know I am with the right company.

Experiencing the real Tanzania!
Kasaka tours took us to the beautiful hidden spots in Tanzania, away from the tourist area. We could really experience the local lifestyle. For our safari trip we went to national park Selous game reserve. We saw so many different animals, it was amazing! Everything was arranged well.
I would definitely recommend going to Tanzania with Kasaka tours! They give you a great experience!

Just wonderful
Last November my wife and I celebrated our honeymoon and Elida tours arranged everything for us. We were picked up by our driver Wilson at our resort in diani and our first destination was Tsavo East. A wonderful park with a lot of elephants. Our lodge was in the middle of the park and we had a nice room facing a waterhole with elephants every morning!! Tsavo east is a busy park with a lot of tourists from the coastal cities. Sometimes a bit hectic when they see lions, it is like being in a theme park...
After 3 nights we went to Tsavo West which has a beautiful nature scene. Our lodge was looking over the Rhino valley. You do have to look very hard to see animals, however the park has lots to offer next to it. See the rhino sanctuary! Open daily from 16:00-18:00, its worth it.
After Tsavo west we drove to amboseli national park. Most of the lodges are located outside of the park and we stayed at Kibo safari camp. From our room we could see the beautiful Mount Kilimanjaro. Wow, just wow.
Our driver from Elida tours arranged for us to have a room facing the mountain, nicely done!
You always say; save the best for last. Well we did. After two nights at amboseli we drove to the Masai Mara. Which was amazing. We saw, thanks to Wilson, the big five in only one day. Just an amazing trip!
The only thing which did not go so well, was the long wait at the gate of the wild parks. The registration process was just taking forever and should be better.
Elida tours arranged a perfect honeymoon for us and we are grateful that Elizabeth and David took so good care of us.

Excellent safari trip services by Karibu World
Just arrived in Moshi with family from a safari tour that saw us visiting Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Manyara. We were quite lucky the rains did not interfere with the planned trips.
All went very well from pick up at KIA to drop off at a hotel in Moshi. All was great during the safari especially the bush dinner at Manyara. Ms Tasneem did a great job to plan and coordinate the safari trip and the driver cum guide Rashid was excellent. Rashid had a sharp eye for game locations such that we were able to view animals in places where others had driven through without spotting them. Keep up the good services.

Unforgettable Safari
The entire safari trip is a great experience for me and my two fellow backpacker friends. Everything ran smoothly including booking, communication, planning, driving, etc. We fully understand we booked budget safari package, so quickly we brushed off a few minor things, and in fact, they also became good travel stories and highlights.
What really made the tour fantastic is our tour guide, James. He is so chilled and accommodating, took us out to local bars a couple of times after long drive, shared Kenya culture and his own safari experience with us. Definitely a person with good heart, we become good friends by the end of the trip, hope to stay connected for our next trip back to Kenya!
Thanks again to everyone from Karibu Safari, much appreciated!

Great safari with Javiva Adventures
I am very happy with my 5-day Masai Mara - Nakuru - Naivasha trip. Janet always answered very quickly via WhatsApp, picked me and my companion up from the airport and found us another hotel when our chosen accommodation became unreachable due to flooded road. Our driver, Patrick, showed his mastery of driving skill somehow managing to keep the 2WD bus going on muddy roads and wet grasslands and his extensive knowledge of animal species including birds which for me was important as I photograph birds as a hobby. The schedule was very flexible and accommodating - the only person who wanted to visit Masai village got to do so while those who were not interested had a game drive in the park. We also managed to do the Naivasha boat ride a second time, with better weather and more active hippos. All of this at one of the lowest prices on the market.
Highly recommended.

Khangeli Safaris was so much better than expected
A thrilling three night adventure to a secluded location in Hwange National Park. Mike Scott and crew provided a wonderful personalized experience for the two of us overlooking a river filled with Hippos and close to the territories of two adult male lions. Khangela safaris is highly recommended. Our chemistry with Mike Scott, Heather, and Barnard was top notch and we enjoyed sitting around the fire after dinner laughing and sharing as much as we enjoyed travelling around just a small part of this huge park. We saw alot! There were some mixed emotions as there was one of the worst droughts of the century and sad to see several dead elephants but this too is part of nature and yet it was balanced with seeing several lions, huge herds of zebra and cape buffalos, the yawning of hippos in the river, and the beginning of rains filling in empty river beds. Almost immediately after the first rains, the leaves began to appear on the mopane trees. Lots of birds, and rare sitings of a tortoise and rock hyrexes. We were truly the visitors within a pristine campground and everything is environmentally sustainable leaving no footprint that we were ever there. The safari was the highlight of our trip to Victoria Falls environs and then to Ethiopia... We did also spent a day at Chobe National Park in Botswana that allowed us and tens of others to see many elephants both on land and from the water. But, we will always cherish our special days of just the two of us with Khangela Safaris that have left us with many memories and fantastic photographs. It was exhilirating, it was fun, it was so so much better than we could ever expect. Kudos to Khangela for making our visit top notch.
