One of the best I dealt with - very professional and caring
Uganda is one of the most beautiful places on earth - especially for nature and wildlife lovers. But getting around can be tricky.
Wild Uganda made this trip possible, smooth, comfortable and complete. I saw all wildlife I wanted to see and covered all areas I wanted to visit.
I highly recommend Wild Uganda for anyone interested in visiting Uganda.

Amazing experience!
Our experience with Bavuma Wild Quest was exceptional from start to finish. What stood out even before the safari began was the amount of care and attention that went into planning the trip. The team provided numerous itinerary, accommodation, and activity options, allowing us to customize the experience according to our interests, budget, and travel style. They were always responsive, patient, and willing to answer questions, making the planning process smooth and enjoyable.
The safari itself exceeded all expectations. Our guide was knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about Tanzania’s wildlife and ecosystems. Thanks to his expertise, we enjoyed incredible sightings of lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, and many other animals. Every game drive was exciting, and we learned so much throughout the journey.
The accommodations selected by Bavuma Wild Quest were excellent, and all logistics were handled seamlessly. We never had to worry about transfers, park entries, or schedules because everything was perfectly organized.
What impressed us even more was that their service extended beyond the safari. They arranged all of our Zanzibar travel plans, including flights, transfers, accommodations, and activities, making the transition from safari to beach vacation completely stress-free. Their recommendations in Zanzibar were outstanding, especially the quad bike excursion, which turned out to be one of the highlights of our stay. It was a fantastic way to explore parts of the island that we otherwise would not have seen.
Bavuma Wild Quest delivered an unforgettable Tanzania experience with outstanding customer service, expert planning, and excellent local knowledge. If you are looking for a safari company that truly cares about creating a personalized and memorable trip, I highly recommend them. We would gladly travel with them again and recommend them to family and friends without hesitation.

Fantastic safari in Tanzania
Fantastic experience! We spent six days on safari in Tanzania in the Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Manyara national parks with the expert and professional guides Aidan, Hamza, and Elia, who made our dream come true. Everything was organized down to the smallest detail, and thanks to their expertise, we saw everything we wanted. The friendliness and kindness of Aidan and his team made everything unforgettable and beyond our expectations. I hope we can return to this wonderful country one day, and if we do, Ashu Wildlife Safari will be our go-to destination. We were pampered from day one to day two. Thank you for everything.

Great arrangement, very friendly company, excellent guide with great knowledge, also humor
Our entire safari experience was absolutely fantastic from booking to the final day of travel. Special thanks to our booking consultant Vincent, who was incredibly attentive and responsive. He patiently answered every question we had, cleared up all our concerns, and arranged wonderful accommodations for us. The deposit was reasonably priced as well. Airport pick-up and drop-off were punctual, and we kept in constant contact throughout, which gave us great peace of mind traveling in a foreign country.
Our guide Jimmy accompanied us for seven unforgettable days in an 8-person group. He skillfully coordinated seating for everyone and knows every national park like the back of his hand, navigating expertly without even using a GPS. We were extremely fortunate to spot most wildlife on our very first day. Throughout the trip, Jimmy had an eagle eye for animals and amazing photo moments. He also prepared a guidebook, which helped us look up local terms easily. Thanks to his excellent guidance, we witnessed the stunning sunrise, herds of elephants and the full view of Mount Kilimanjaro. Jimmy truly made this journey a precious memory we will cherish forever. We highly recommend this service!

African Big Cats did an amazing job.
The safari was beyond belief and amazing. All the lodging were great and the sights were amazing. Big Cats guide Khaled was very informative and knowledgeable. Naomi, our arranger kept us informed before our trip and answered all of our questions. Our party of three went on a 7-day safari including the Serengeti and was actually in the middle of the great migration and saw several thousands of zebras and wildebeests. We saw four black rhinos, a few leopards, many lions, 1000s of elephants, 100s of cape buffalos, 100s of hippos and giraffes. We went at the end of the rain season and there were no crowds. I highly recommend using African Bigs Cats. Request Khaled as your guide.

Our Photographic Safari in Tanzania exceeded our expectations
Our Photographic Safari in Tanzania exceeded our expectations. We wandered through picture-perfect landscapes, from the Serengeti plains to the Ngorongoro Crater, ending at Lake Manyara, and even visited a Maasai village.
We encountered animals everywhere.
Lions, lionesses, elephants, cheetahs, flamingos, pelicans, hippos, hyenas, warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, and many other animals.
A special thanks to our always top-notch guides: Aidan, Hamza, and Elia, who knew the perfect spots for strategic sightings, providing us with fantastic experiences during our shots.
The guides were patient and accompanied us on this adventure, always available, courteous, and always smiling.
Thank you so much, it was a wonderful experience.
A special thanks to Hamza, who accompanied us on this wonderful journey in the jeep.

African Big Cats- 10/10!!!
Our safari with African Big Cats was truly one of the highlights of our honeymoon, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
From the very beginning, the entire team went above and beyond to make our trip perfect. A special thank you to William from the sales team, who managed to organize our itinerary and accommodations at the last minute while carefully accommodating all of our requests and preferences. Everything was planned exactly the way we wanted. We would also like to thank Naomi and Emmanuel from the operations team, who made sure every detail was clear, well-organized, and running smoothly throughout the entire journey.
And now, the most important part of this review: Martin.
We spent six incredible days with Martin on a private safari, and honestly, we could not have asked for a better guide to be part of such a special chapter of our lives.
Martin is the complete package: exceptionally professional, incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely friendly, and simply a wonderful person to spend time with. Spending six full days together in a safari vehicle could easily feel overwhelming with the wrong guide, but with Martin, we felt comfortable from the very first moment. He has an amazing ability to read the atmosphere and adapt to his guests, making every day feel natural, enjoyable, and effortless.
His knowledge is truly remarkable. Whether it was wildlife, plants, ecosystems, local culture, history, geography, or the smallest details of the environment around us, Martin always had fascinating insights to share. Most of the time, we didn’t even need to ask questions because he was already explaining things in such an engaging and interesting way. At the same time, he never felt overwhelming or intrusive—he always knew exactly how to strike the perfect balance.
Another thing that truly stood out was Martin’s exceptional wildlife tracking ability. His experience, sharp eye, and deep understanding of animal behavior consistently put us in the right place at the right time. Time and time again, he spotted animals that we would never have noticed on our own and worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best possible sightings throughout our safari. It was clear that he genuinely cared about making our experience as special and memorable as possible.
Beyond being an outstanding guide, Martin is an excellent driver, extremely organized, and always one step ahead. He made sure every detail was taken care of and that we never had to worry about anything. Everything ran smoothly, without delays, issues, or complications. We always felt safe, relaxed, and well looked after.
As newlyweds on our honeymoon, this trip was incredibly important to us, and Martin played a huge role in making it such an unforgettable experience. We genuinely cannot imagine having had a better guide accompany us on this journey through Tanzania.
We wholeheartedly recommend African Big Cats to anyone planning a safari, and if you have the opportunity, do yourself a favor and specifically request Martin as your guide!!
