Professional Group that helped with things that didn't go as planned
During the booking process, I worked with multiple tour operators to get quotes and different itineraries to travel through Masi Mara, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. George and his team worked with me to ensure that we had the itinerary and accommodations that worked for our schedule and budget. I ultimately chose a private tour with Enticing Journeys because they were the best fit for our group of three and it was the best decision of our trip.
We started in Nairobi, where Enticing arranged our transfers from the airport to our hotel so we were met with someone who was friendly and able to get us to our hotel without issues. Unfortunately one of our bags decided to delay its arrival. This caused an initial level of panic, as we were scheduled to drive to Masi Mara first thing the next morning. I was assured that this wouldn't be a problem.
We left Nairobi the next morning and started our trek to begin our safari. While in the Masi Mara enjoying our safari and all the species of African animals available, Enticing Journeys was making arrangement for our missing luggage to be delivered to one of the gates of the park, which we picked up flawlessly.
We then headed to the border and transitioned into Tanzania. Unfortunately, one of the individuals in our party had stomach issues so once again Enticing jumped into action and made arrangements to get medicine from a local doctor and after a couple hour delay, we were back on track. Our guide on the Tanzania side was Julius and he was top notch. We spent the next few days with him where his extensive knowledge of the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater left us speechless. He didn't have to follow the competition around and instead took us to places he was comfortable with and allowed us uninterrupted time with some of Africa's best. He generally would call in and let other tour operators know about our findings but only after we had adequate time to take pictures and enjoy the serenity of the situation. This included Cheetah's and multiple male lions as well as a female preparing to stalk its prey. Truly unforgettable moments!
I would highly recommend Enticing Journeys and feel that they meet your every need and compete with any of the other tour operators in the areas at a competitive rate.

A truly awesome experience with a clearly passionate & experienced team.
In January I had an amazing birthday safari experience in Tanzania with my friends and choosing I Artist Adventure for our group safari was the best decision! Everything was perfectly organized from the safari experience to the special birthday surprise. Maria and the whole team made us feel welcome safe and happy throughout the trip. I truly was not expecting such a beautiful experience. Thank you for making my birthday unforgettable.

Professional, responsive, flexible
Safari 2 Gorilla Tours (S2GT) organized the Gorilla Habituation trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Uganda) for me, including itinerary, transportation (from/to Kigali), Forest permit and accommodation. Aron of S2GT was my point of contact to discuss itinerary, cost, payment timing and linking me to my transportation driver (Dan). Aron provided clear information and instructions, replied promptly to my queries and worked with me on payment timing due to uncertain circumstances (worldwide oil disruption). Aron followed my trip, in the background, from start to finish. S2GT’s pricing was also the most affordable of three companies I contacted.
Dan, my driver, was fantastic - professional, safe, knowledgeable, client-focused and an interesting conversationalist.
The Gorilla Habitation trek was all and more than I had expected; simply beautiful, humbling, raw and adventurous. The Forest Rangers from the Uganda Wildlife Authority — Chris (lead), Gideon & Chris — and the trackers (Michael, Meti & Silver) were professional, protective, skillful and client-focused.
The accommodations (~35 minutes from the trek entrance) — Lake Mulehe Gorilla Lodge — was in a serene setting overlooking a lake with a volcano in the background. The staff were professional, courteous and client-focused. The grounds were simple, pleasant. The rooms were clean, simple, comfortable.
All in all, Safari 2 Gorilla Tours did all they could to ensure my trip was smooth and memorable. Truly an amazing experience.
Based on my experience, I would highly recommend Safari 2 Gorilla Tours for your East Africa experience.

Amazing experience with All Wheels Experience!
Our friends' tour with All Wheels Experience was absolutely fantastic! Edward Elias was an exceptional guide, making the 4-day Tarangire, 6-day Ngorongoro, and 5-day Serengeti safaris unforgettable. The parks were breathtaking, and the food throughout the trip was delicious and satisfying. We loved every moment exploring these amazing parks together. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an adventure of a lifetime!

An excellent tour operator with professional staff, great planning, and outstanding customer service
Everything was excellent — great hotels, an amazing guide, and outstanding planning.
Our guide/driver, Nick, was very friendly and professional, and he made our trip truly enjoyable.
The staff at the tour company who managed our tour were also extremely professional and fulfilled all our requests. Even outside the tour days, they helped us with anything they could.
On my next trip to Kenya, I will definitely book with this company again, and I will also recommend them to my friends who are planning to travel to Kenya.

Excellent and Professional Gorilla Trekking Experience
We had an excellent experience with Umurage Eco Safaris for our gorilla trekking tour in Rwanda. Communication before the trip was clear and helpful, and the team made sure we had all the information we needed in advance.
On the day of the tour, they picked us up on time and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. The service was reliable, friendly, and well organized, which made the whole day feel smooth and stress-free. Our driver was professional and made the journey comfortable.
The gorilla trekking experience itself was truly unforgettable. Seeing the gorillas in their natural environment was a special moment, and the tour was worth every bit of the cost. I felt the service, organization, and overall experience offered great value for money.
I highly recommend Umurage Eco Safaris to anyone planning a gorilla trekking trip in Rwanda.

An awesome guy: close, attentive and gentle.
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience from start to finish. The value for money was incredible — everything exceeded our expectations considering the price. David, our guide was extremely professional, but at the same time very warm, personal, and genuinely caring, which made the experience feel special and unique.
As well as was fantastic, always making sure we were comfortable and doing everything possible for us to see as much wildlife as possible. You could really feel the passion and dedication throughout the entire trip.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our trip. We would 100% recommend Uganda for Safari to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and exceptional adventure.

My journey unveiled the breathtaking beauty that Uganda so effortlessly offers
My friends and I just came back from a wonderful 5-day primates-focused safari, with a bit of wildlife viewing in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
We were a bit budget-conscious, so we chose to travel in April (low season), which worked out really well for us. Communication with the team was smooth throughout, and they helped tweak our original plan in a way that actually made it better than we had first imagined.
Initially, most operators had suggested chimpanzee tracking in Kibale National Park, but Jovan recommended the Kyambura Gorge sector in Queen Elizabeth National Park as a more budget-friendly option. We were a bit unsure at first, wondering if we’d still have a good chance of seeing chimpanzees, but it turned out to be a great decision. Plus, since one of us hadn’t experienced a wildlife safari before, including Queen Elizabeth made the trip even more special.
The highlight, of course, was the gorilla trekking, being just meters away from a silverback was something we’ll never forget.
Our stay at the lodges, especially Tabingi Safari Lodge and Rushaga Gorilla Lodge, was very comfortable. The food was great, and the staff were warm and attentive throughout.
Our guide, Brian, was professional, kind, and very knowledgeable, especially when it came to animal behavior, which added a lot to the experience.
I would highly recommend Renai Safaris to anyone planning a primates safari in Uganda.
