Amazing experience with The Shuttle Hospitality
We had an amazing experience with The Shuttle Hospitality. Everything was extremely well organized from start to finish, and the whole trip was smooth, comfortable, and truly memorable.
A special mention goes to our driver, Francis, who was absolutely fantastic. He was professional, friendly, reliable, and always attentive to our needs. His knowledge of the country, wildlife, and the best places to visit made a huge difference to our experience.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend The Shuttle Hospitality to anyone planning a trip to Uganda and Rwanda. If you are lucky enough to have Francis as your driver, you’re in excellent hands!

Papa Johns - fun tour guide
For our tour guide Papa Johns
We had a really great experience with Papa Johns. He was kind, funny, knowledgeable, and made the game drives genuinely enjoyable. He shared lots of interesting facts along the way and was always attentive to what the group needed, whether that meant stopping for a washroom break, slowing down for photos, or spending more time looking for a particular animal.
What I appreciated most was how much effort he put into helping us see the animals we were hoping for. He really takes his job seriously and you can tell he wants his guests to have a good experience. We weren’t able to spot a leopard on our first day, and he seemed genuinely sad for us, but the next day we finally found one and he did his best to position the vehicle so everyone could get a good view.
Overall, he was very friendly, patient, hardworking, and fun to be around. I had a great time and would definitely recommend him!

Amazing
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Unforgettable Experience – Serengeti Safari with Sunny Safaris
My wife and I went on a three-day safari in the Serengeti in July 2026 with Sunny Safaris, and honestly, it was one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had.
Before going, I was quite nervous because I had never been on safari before in my life. I had so many questions and concerns about how everything would work, especially with the flights, transfers, timings and everything that comes with travelling to the Serengeti.
This is where Safaa was absolutely incredible. I communicated with her through both email and WhatsApp, and from the very beginning she was amazing. She was so patient and helpful and took care of every single detail for us. She organised the dates we would fly, the timings for our hotel pick-up, transfers and all the logistics of the trip. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble for her.
The way Safaa explained everything to us completely removed all of our worries. By the time we travelled, I felt reassured that everything had been organised and that we were in safe hands. That meant a lot to us, especially because this was our first safari.
Then came the actual safari — and WOW!
The Serengeti was absolutely breathtaking. The scenery was something you simply cannot put into words. Being surrounded by such incredible landscapes and seeing wild animals in their natural environment was genuinely surreal.
Over our three days, we saw so many animals, and the number of lions we saw was unbelievable. We must have seen around 30–35 lions during our safari! Seeing them up close in their natural habitat was something I will never forget. There were so many moments where we just sat there taking it all in, thinking how lucky we were to be experiencing it.
Our lodge was fantastic too. The staff were absolutely brilliant — so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Their hospitality really added to the whole experience and made us feel comfortable throughout our stay.
I also have to give a very special shout-out to our safari driver, Saidi.
Saidi was fantastic from the moment we met him. He was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knew the Serengeti extremely well. He was constantly looking for opportunities for us to see more animals and experience different parts of the park. What really stood out to me was that he didn't give up. If we hadn't seen something we were hoping to see, he would try different areas and keep looking.
His knowledge, patience, dedication and hospitality were exceptional. You could tell that he genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience, rather than simply taking us around and going through the motions.
Looking back, I honestly don't think we could have asked for a better first safari experience.
A massive thank you to Safaa, Saidi and everyone at Sunny Safaris. Safaa made the whole process before the trip so easy and stress-free, and Saidi made the actual safari an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives.
For anyone who has never been on safari before and might be feeling nervous or unsure, I would highly recommend Sunny Safaris. They looked after us from beginning to end, and we felt completely supported throughout.
The Serengeti, the wildlife, the lodge, the incredible scenery and, most importantly, the people who looked after us made this a truly unforgettable trip.
Thank you, Sunny Safaris, for giving my wife and me memories that we will treasure forever. 🦁🐘🦒❤️🌅
We will definitely be talking about this trip for many years to come!

Fabulous Family Safari with Woodbridge
We are a family of six, with four teenagers/young adults, and when researching our holiday I contacted a number of safari operators through SafariBookings. Robert at Woodbridge Safaris immediately stood out as the most committed, considerate and hardworking operator, so we decided to book with him.
Robert was absolutely superb from start to finish. He delivered on everything he promised and was a really positive presence throughout our trip. He genuinely cared about us enjoying every aspect of the experience and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible safari.
He was determined that we would see the Big Five and was willing to put in some very long drives to give us the best opportunities. When he explained that seeing rhinos in the Masai Mara was unlikely, he arranged for us to visit Nairobi National Park on our first day, where we were guaranteed a much better chance of seeing them … and we did!
Robert is thoughtful, sensible, an excellent driver and completely reliable. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted from our holiday and helped us plan and tailor the itinerary to our family’s specifications.
We had the most wonderful trip and credit Robert with helping to make it such a special and memorable experience. We would highly recommend Woodbridge Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.
Thank you, Robert, for an unforgettable holiday!

They were all very knowledgeable, friendly and knew where to find the best areas.
When our trip started out with canceled flights Safari365 went above and beyond to help keep our itinerary on schedule. We forgot all about the airline once we were there.
The friendliness and concern for our safety from the staff was top notch.
At 2 separate lodges they went out of their way to help us celebrate our 35 year anniversary.
If we could give more than 5 stars, we would.

Extremely informative, genuinely cares about what he does.
T-man is THE MAN!
You can tell he really cares about sharing his passion for the animals there and ensuring each and every passenger was having a great time.
He’s also got all the jokes, humour is extremely appreciated in my house.

A responsive, knowledgeable, solid company.
Out of the gate Joseph was extremely responsive. Even with the time difference between the US and Kenya he was always quick to get back to me. He eased any concerns my wife and I had as well.
Our guide Nickson was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about each of the animals and areas of all the parks we went to. He was impressively quick to spot and name the animals from a distance. We saw the big 5, as well as the ugly 5 which we learned about on the drive. He efficiently got us to and from the parks. Would recommend to anyone looking to properly see the parks and drives to and from.

A fantastic guide to help see the big five!
Apex Felidae Expeditions was great for our first African safari! Our guide, Nickson, was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, ecosystem, and history of Kenya and the Masai Mara. He was excellent in helping guide us to the big five and navigate our time on safari. We can’t wait to come back!

Trustworthy, reliable, kind
We had our very first safari with Eric as our guide, and we were incredibly lucky to have him!
From the very beginning of the booking process, we felt well taken care of. We received a helpful packing list and experienced excellent customer service throughout, with the opportunity to reach out at any time with questions.
We felt very confident choosing Vision Safari Tours. Among the different safari companies we considered, they really stood out because of their exceptional customer service and the great value for money they offered.
Our safari started with a pickup in Arusha, followed by a drive to the meeting point where our group came together. We were incredibly lucky with our group and ended up becoming really good friends with the other people on the safari. This made the experience even more magical!
From the very beginning, Eric was extremely service-minded, calm and professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. There wasn't a single question he couldn't answer! He was excellent at locating animals through communication with the other guides, but also relied on his extensive knowledge of wildlife and animal behaviour.
We were incredibly fortunate to see the Big Five, but we also encountered so many other amazing animals, both large and small.
Eric was also very respectful when approaching the animals. He knew how to get us close enough to enjoy incredible sightings while always maintaining a respectful distance and making sure not to disturb them. This was extremely important to us, and it was wonderful to see how deeply he respected the animals and their natural environment.
Throughout the safari, we enjoyed delicious meals, and on our first night we stayed in a lodge rather than camping because the grass in the Serengeti was not yet ready for camping. We were given the lodge at no additional cost, which was a lovely gesture.
We had the most magical and unforgettable first safari, and we're almost worried that Eric has set the bar so high that it will be difficult to top next time!
Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!
