Very professional and friendly staff for a wonderful experience in Uganda
Sander did a great job organising our tour, it was a bit last minute and we asked for a lot of changes; he's always been very responsive and available to answer any question.
During the trip, our local driver and guide Bob Magezi was also great, we felt safe at any time, he is easy going and never late. Bob is knowledgeable about his country (history, geography, culture, etc) and about wildlife (habits & habitat, spotting animals, etc).
Wildlife is amazing, we went to most of the natural reserves and were never disappointed. Mountain gorillas trekking is definitely an experience to live! We were so happy to spot a leopard and climbing lions in a tree, thanks to hawkeye-Bob.
Accommodations were good (we chose contained tents or rooms), food was good. Our fav was Mihingo Lodge, such a lovely place with a lovely staff!
We absolutely loved our time in Uganda and recommend Grassrootz for their professionalism.

Masai Mara unforgettable 4-day trip
Unforgettable 4 days Safari in Masai Mara
Me and my partner we had a great time thanks to Explorer Kenya. Prior to our Safari trip we stayed in contact with Explorer Kenya workers who provided me with accurate information with a prompt response every time i made an inquiry. Afterwards i decided to book 4 days- trip in Masai Mara interacting with animals. We were lucky to have Jonathan Maina an experienced driver-guide appointed to us for the 4 days game drive.
Jonathan Maina drove safely & always on time for any appointment we've agreed on , he was always eager for us to be able to spot big animals ( Leopard, Cheetah, Lions, zebra & Wildebeest migration...). Jonathan was in a full communication with other guides to find out what they have spotted.
During our trip we saw plenty of animals exceeding about 20 species, the only animal we didn't see is Rhino & animal migration. We spotted mating lions, lions with a kill, lions with cubs, family lions of 2 adult male 3 adult female and one male cub old enough so that males were chasing it from the family, this family had a kill of baby hippo. Spotted leopard with a kill climbed tree, leopard coming from drinking water, 4 Cheetahs hunting together ( the hunt didn't finish as gazelle had already spotted them).

Wonderful Safari & excellent crew!
We had an absolutely amazing trip! Bryson was very detail-oriented and communicated quickly and he organized a really wonderful tour. Our guide David, and cook Dula are both the "babalao" (the best of the best!).
-We saw the big 5 (really close!) And so many more! And we always felt safe and well-informed.
-The meals are incredible- multiple courses, freshly baked bread and cookies - yes, Dula baked us cookies to eat before our sunrise drive in the Serengeti.
-The truck they used was strong and reliable - and David was always the driver/truck that helped other drivers get unstuck. He knows his animals and his way around an engine, meaning you are in great hands in case of any issues. David is also just such a friendly wonderful guy, so we loved spending time with him.
-The truck had a power outlet, and a fridge (stocked with water, beer, and local wine).
-Most importantly - Bryson put together a group of customers that were our age and fun to be around, so it really made the mood of our trip fun and positive.
All and all: a fantastic team and an absolute dream trip. These guys know what they are doing.
If you want to book a quality camping safari - book here!
Asante sana rafiki!

Wonderful People
I book safaris with this company for 5 days Masai Mara. It was a wonderful time and i and my wife connected with Stephen and his team through google search when we wanted to have a great honeymoon in Kenya. We were last in Kenya four years ago during one of our mission trip and due to cool atmosphere in Kenya we opted to have our honeymoon this year in Masai Mara. The team were honest just from the time of booking to the time we finalized our safaris. We can say that each and every person working for this firm were friendly just from the time we were picked from the airport till time we were booked at Hilton Hotel. We can not fail to recommend them for good work and pocket friendly packages.

No details were missed in making this an experience of a lifetime
Never had to worry about anything during this adventure. Chip Allen provided great information both before and after the trip. Stayed at the Leadwood Dulini Lodge and the staff took care of every need. Travelled with two friends specifically for photography. Nic our ranger and Dyke our tracker made sure that every game drive there was plenty of opportunity to get close and the best angle for viewing. Nic was very knowledgeable about animals, birds and plants.
Food at the lodge was fantastic and an adventure in itself. Every employee knew our names and always were positive.

Excellent service - highly recommended
We recently returned from a trip that included 2 weeks in Namibia. Cardboard Box Travel were very helpful in suggestions and bookings. Sonja, the contact there, did a great job. We decided on a self drive tour. The 4x4, accommodation and suggested route were all excellent. I highly recommend the organisation.

From A to Z a great experience
I was short on time. But who would go to ZA and not do a Safari??? So I bumped into this company by chance and was well surprised by the quick reply, the accurate information, the uncomplicated handling of signing up and so on and so forth. So only two days before departure, it was all arranged within a minute.
So my pick up at a not so nice corner of Jozi was just on time, friendly and helpful driver, who seems to more tick after Swiss then African time ;)
The trip was well organized, the tour guides were already waiting for us when we approached the park gate. Luckily, we were able to see most of the game because the seemed to have know where the animals hide.
Drop off back home was as announced, food was good, payment on the spot even possible.
So all in all, a company that I can only recommend =)

Outstanding - Ask for Jackson
Asante for this incredible safari!
We arrived at Jomo Kenyatta airport at 6:45 am and our driver Jackson was already waiting for us. Everything was so uncomplicated, even though we did not prepare well for the 5-day-trip.
We started at lake Nakuru and then spent a day at lake Naivasha, before visiting the must-do Masai Mara for 3 days.
Jackson is a very skilled and save driver, both in Kenyan traffic and the muddy routes of the national parks. He has perfect knowledge about the national parks and animals there.
We visited Kenya during a rainy season, though thanks to Jackson we still had a perfect stay. He adjusted our plans spontaneously, even if this meant more work for him. With his outgoing and kind nature we felt at home immediately. He also received a lot of hints from other tourguides considering animal sightings.
Our accommodations "The Cliff" and "Entim Mara" are amazing locations.
We absolutely recommend Tekko Tours. Just tell them what you want, and they (Carol) will arrange everything for you in the perfect way.
We saw all of the big 5 thanks to Jackson, however we know that we were extremely lucky.
