They really care
I love baboon safaris. I even went 3 times with them. The owner is very, very kind, he even met me for coffee!!, and he always gave me great drivers,one was called Dennis (for a 1 week trip and a 3 day trip) and he was the best guide ever and one was Anthony and he also was stunning. They REALLY cared for me. I went alone and so it is important you can trust. You can. I d always choose them again. The more expensive the accomodations the better the experience will also be, so I plan to choose their best accomodations always. They really help you immediately, even if it's just a stop for a coke. Anthony identified the tiniest grey birds for me. We saw the wildebeast migration, guess Dennis gave me the best place to film it, he was so motivated to make it the best for me. Miss you all. Hope to be back soon. Dennis wanted to drove non stop from 6 to sunset so that I get the most out of it. Really really so devoted.

Caring, knowledgable and always had our best interests at heart.
Exceptional Service from a Company that Cares
Gorilla trekking has always been a high priority on my bucket list. My friend and I began our research for a trip to Uganda in October. After corresponding with several companies it was obvious that Edison, the owner of Bamboo Ecotours Ltd., was the first person to go above and beyond answering every question (and there were many) that we put forth. He suggested we search for the best price for airfare and he would then suggest our itinerary. He did not disappoint ! A major hurdle at the beginning of the trip necessitated overnighting in Amsterdam as our flight from Newark was delayed by three hours to Brussels. We were delayed by one day and Edison managed to rearrange the complete trip. Just the task of moving permits for the Gorilla trek was a huge task not to mention our three other treks or hotel accommodations.
Finally arriving a day late and standing in line at lost baggage for over one and a half hours our adventure was to begin. As luck would have it the lost bag contained clothing I had sent to bring to the Batwa Village so my personal items were with me. Edison to the rescue again. When the bag finally arrived four days later he retrieved the bag from the airport and managed to deliver it to us along the route.
Everything from this point on can only be described as magical.
From the time we met our driver Fred at the airport to the night he returned us luggage and gifts in tow he stood by until we had passed through the strict Covid testing procedure. The company scheduled our test and made sure we were taken to the sight. Just one of the many gestures that made the experience stress free.
From trekking to see Rhinos, Gorillas, Chimpanzees and the most beautiful Golden Monkeys in the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (where the Gold meets the Silver) every day was a new and exciting adventure. Safari drives, boat cruises and excursions by canoe to the Mabamba wetlands to discover the elusive Shoebill. When we weren’t accompanied by a ranger our driver Fred was an excellent spotter and pointed out so many wonderful bird species as well as wildlife. The first beautiful view of 1/1/2022 over Lake Mutanda with the mist topping Mount Muhabura, Mount Sabyinyo and Mount Gahinga will forever be
etched in my memory.
Every thing Bamboo Ecotours Ltd. promised was delivered and more so much more. Thank you so much Edison and Fred. The people of Uganda are gentle and welcoming. This was my fourth trip to Africa and I have to say do not miss a chance to visit Uganda - “The Pearl of Africa”.

100% recommend! Everything went smoothly ever since i have first contacted Evelyn via whatsapp, she has been very responsive to all my requests and offered the best advice.
they have been so flexible and easy to communicate with, made sure our overall experience was the best one from the beginning.
Our guide, Joza is smart, polite and has a wide knowledge about every animal/bird in the savannah and constantly asked for feedback to make sure we are getting the experience we want!
Nathan is a talented chef, humble and hardworking, his food was various and tasty and even made us pancakes and cake!
Both of them helped me surprise my fiance for his bday with cake and wishes and for this i will always remember them.
All in all, i made the best choice in booking with 7wonders and it really was a wonderful tour!

We went on two safaris for our honeymoon and this was by far THE BEST.
My wife Julianna and I went on our honeymoon in Uganda. Khuzair was THE BEST safari guide ever. We left as friends. He was so knowledgeable, funny, professional, and fun to be around. A safari requires a lot of time in the car and we were so happy to spend our time with Khuzair and Africa Adventure Vacations.

Refueling our souls on safari with Benson's
We were now already for the second time on the road with Benson Safaris (first time in 2019). It was not only about landscapes, animals and impressions. The special challenge: We shot professionally. This only works if safari guide and photographer/filmer form a perfect team. In both cases we were lucky to have Peter as our guide. Very quickly he understood how we think and what we need. Peter's profound knowledge of the Serengeti and the crater gave us lots of great opportunities for sightings and he made (almost) every wish possible with a lot of commitment. Also vehicle and organization of Benson Safaris are perfect. We always felt safe and cared for. Our son learned a lot including some Suaheli. If you wonder when to visit the Serengeti, now is the time, as not too many people were around. We will be back again with pleasure!

Awesome
Climbing Kilimanjaro was the adventure of a lifetime thanks to Almighty Kilimanjaro.
Our guide, William, was incredible - he was friendly and knowledgeable (with over 750 summits and around 20 years experience) and thus comes highly recommended. Do yourself a favour.
The company itself was transparent, trustworthy and attentive. They treat their staff well, and seem to be a powerful force for good in the community.
The food on the mountain exceeded expectation and the tents and equipment are in decent shape as well.
I would definitely advise; spending a longer time on the mountain for better acclimatization, packing an excess of waterproof items, getting a local sim card (there is decent signal at the majority of camps), and packing a variety of snacks.
Uhuru peak is a reward for a worthy effort. Go for it!

Another great job by Anthony!
My second trip with Anthony (after Kenya in 2018) brought me to Tanzania at the beginning of Jan 2022. I chose him and his company for the safari in Kenya's neighbor country because I knew I could rely on Anthony and I knew he would put all his effort in providing a great service.
And my expectations were fulfilled. He organized a great 7 days/6 nights safari trip which I can highly recommend if you are interested in Northern Tanzania. The tour included Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti and we stayed at four very different and beautiful lodges/camps. It was a really great mixture, we enjoyed every minute of it. Because Anthony is not allowed to work in Tanzania, Chiba was part of the crew as well. Chiba is an excellent Tanzanian safari guide who knew without asking what we are interested in and how we like to do safaris. And what a great spotter and lover of little animal details he is! :-)
Anthony did a great job with the organization of the trip - especially regarding the complicated pandemic situation and flight cancellations right before the trip. As his customer I always feel well looked after by him. Asante sana!

Well organized wonderful experience:)
Safari itself (we spent a week in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Manyara Parks) was absolutely fantastic. Thousands of animals of every species you could imagine and beautiful African landscapes. Must see experience if you’re nature oriented traveler.
Lelaa Tours definitely worth of recommendation. They provided itinerary and accommodations tailored to our needs and budget and everything went well.
Very nice and professional guys.
