Excellent trip with Loren
Our experience with Loren African Safaris was excellent. If I could give it more stars, I would. From the very beginning, they handled all the organization efficiently and answered all our questions. Our guide, Ally, was fantastic; he taught us everything during the tour and went out of his way to find the animals we wanted to see (we saw them all—it was incredible!). The food was also delicious. We spent five full days on safari with them, and they also took care of organizing our visit to Zanzibar. We even had a problem with an airline that lost our luggage, and Loren personally came to Arusha airport to intervene and try to help us (even though he wasn't obligated to, as it wasn't his responsibility). We highly recommend this company. It's also important to support local businesses. We are Argentinians and we are very happy with this trip.

Outstanding
My family and I could not have hoped for a better Safari experience. George took care of everything. He helped us plan our trip. Then he picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi and drove us to Amboseli. Along the way, he pointed out things of interest. When we arrived at our lodge, George gave us time to eat, freshen up, and get settled in our rooms, making clear when and where we would meet to go into the park. Once we entered the game reserve itself (both that first afternoon and all day the following day), he really hit his stride. He seemed to have a sense about which animals would be where; and when we happened upon an unexpected animal—like a jackal with prey in its mouth—George would pull over and let us watch patiently to see nature in action. In the case of the jackal, George pointed out that the animal felt uneasy about crossing the water. We watched him try to cross repeatedly and eventually turn around and go bury his prey, presumably to dig it up later for his family.
George heard about a lion sighting from another driver and headed that way. Again, he patiently pulled over to the side of the road and encouraged us to observe the lions quietly. Several other drivers left, since the lions seemed to be inactive. George felt confident, though, that the lions would eventually pass very near our vehicle and cross the road to the patch of trees on the other side, as he knew they’d be seeking shade. Like clockwork, his prediction proved true, and we had a breathtaking experience. When we finally drove away from there, one of the drivers who had left earlier was chiding himself for not following George’s lead.
George spotted an eagle subduing a monitor lizard for lunch and another bird eating a snake. On both occasions, he let us watch as nature unfolded before our eyes. We saw hippos, monkeys, baboons, a cheetah, a civet, wildebeests, geese, moose, elephants, and on and on and on. FIVE STARS!!!!!

Unforgettable experience with a local Ugandan company!
My husband and I just completed a 3-day Kigali to Bwindi Gorilla trek with Bamboo Ecotours, and it was truly unforgettable! Note: this tour is much shorter (5-6 hours drive vs 9+) vs from within Uganda!
From the start, Edison helped us plan the trip around our interests—adding a visit to the Ellen Center for deeper insight into gorillas and a Golden Monkey trek on the return journey. His communication was always prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful, even guiding us through visa questions.
Our guide and driver, Fred, was outstanding. A native of Kisoro, he shared rich knowledge of the region and navigated challenging rainy-season roads with skill and confidence. He was punctual, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout.
We loved working with a local Ugandan company that knows the area inside out. The trip was flexible, customized to our preferences, and everything went exactly as planned.
We chose the mid range lodge and will also highly recommend the Gorilla Leisure Lodge.
For both cost and experience, you simply can’t go wrong with Bamboo Ecotours. Highly recommended!

He was knowledgeable, welcoming, and truly made the tour memorable for us.
My experience with Neste Uganda Safaris was truly amazing. The team was professional, friendly, and very well organized from the beginning to the end of the trip. The tour operator was knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. Everything—from transportation to the activities—was well planned, making the entire safari smooth and memorable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wonderful and well-guided safari experience in Uganda

Overall a good experience
That’s overall a good experience, the landscapes are indeed incredibly beautiful, the company is honest and correct, the meals are very simple but I think it’s fair for such remote area where resources for something more elaborated are inpossible, the guide Yonas is an excellent professional: intelligent, helpful, always friendly and respectful, he clearly loves his job! However, sleeping open air close to the volcano is extremely unpleasant and uncomfortable, the night there is very windy and cold and me and many other tourists felt bad and barely could sleep, it should be fixed. Furthermore, the driver was the opposite of the guide: unfriendly and careless regarding our luggages, mine had a damage. Apart from the mentioned minor inconveniences, I recommend this company.

Fantastic safari experience in Tanzania with great hospitality.
Our group of seven friends just finished an incredible 7-day Big 5 safari with Migo African Safaris , and it was truly a journey we will always remember. When we arrived at Arusha the Migo team welcomed us warmly. And everything was organized smoothly, which allowed us to simply enjoy the adventure. From watching huge elephant herds in Tarangire to the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Highlands, every day felt different. Exploring the Ngorongoro Crater was a highlight with so much wildlife in one place. Our guide was friendly, professional, and made every game drive exciting and informative. Exploring a different area of the Serengeti gave us new surprises, giraffes, cheetahs in the distance, and stunning sunsets over the savannah. Our 7 day was an incredible first wildlife experience in Tanzania. We recommend Migo African Safaris for their responsibility and hospitable service.

Knowledgeable and experienced tour guide
Had a great 2 day trip to the Queen Elizabeth national park. We did an evening and morning game drive along with a boat tour.
We saw 2 lionesses kill a water buck. Plenty of elephants, buffalos antelopes and baboons were also around. On our way we also stopped to see some zebras in a small close by park.
