Friendly and informative - knowledgeable team
Communication with Ines from the start was excellent - we had a call to go through requirements, budget and potential itinerary. She continued to make adjustments to the itinerary throughout - adding in options that were more or less costly depending on our preferences.
On the tour itself, all transfers were seamless and on time.
The only feedback area for the team is to not charge a booking fee for card transactions.

Amazing trip and guide, we recommend !
We had a wonderful day 4 day experience with bamboo encounters doing gorilla trekking, visiting the Elisabeth national park and doing chimpanzee trekking.
We were accompanied by Fred who is a safe driver, good explainer and most importantly a wonderful person to share such a nice trip with.
The communication with Edison before and after the trip was great, very clear organization and quick answers to all kinds of questions?
We recommend Bamboo ecotours very much!

Kind, open, and honest with lots of experience!!
Our experiences with Benson or top notch from start to finish. First and foremost he is an amazing and thorough communicator. He was able to offer us great flexibility when it came to booking our trip and even made sure that we got into the hotels we wanted to be in and what's flexible enough to add an extra day in the masai mara. He tells you from the beginning of the trip to let him know whatever it is you want to do and want to see, and he means that he really will customize your trip for you. On our trip we saw the big five multiple times each, and even got to see alive cheetah kill of a wildebeest. Most importantly we noticed that Benson was a far more skilled driver than the other drivers we saw on Safari, and his personality and humility makes spending so much time with him a pleasure which was a major cause of concern for me. If you book with this company you will receive great customer service and an amazing tour experience. They come with my highest recommendation.

5 days Gorillas and Chimps Safari amazing and FUN with Peter of Buyaga
The five days Gorillas & Chimps Safari by Buyaga was even more amazing than we expected. First, the main reason for our trip was to see the Gorillas and we are still in shock over that experience. We were able to be so close to them for the full time. Watching the silverback eat his leaves and the mom try to get her playful baby down out of the tree was astounding. My daughter and husband got VERY gently side-swiped by the silverback when he moved to a new spot.
We were delighted with other experiences that we can directly attribute to Peter Amanya (our guide). He met an impossible schedule to get us to a boat ride to see many hippos up close. He pushed to get us in Queen Elizabeth Park near dusk which put us within feet of a half dozen lions. He patiently stayed so we could watch them climb out of trees, play with each other, roll on the ground and even cross right in front of our van for a new lounging spot. He took extra time on a super long day journey to circle a park in search of more views of exotic animals. He stopped to allow my husband and him to help a guy on a motorcycle who had fallen over with a huge load of bananas. I don’t think we would have had the same rich experiences with any other company/guide.
Finally, I will mention the only unavoidable negative for someone planning such a trip—YouTube prepares you for the challenging hikes, but doesn’t mention the grueling road trip to get there. Your safety there will depend on your company/guide choice. The roads and other drivers present challenges you just can’t imagine. Peter’s skill in knowing the depth of the water filled potholes, the steering technique for steep mud-rock roads, and the unexpected behavior of the overloaded cow/human truck in front of us assured our safety. Additionally, his wonderful humor and infectious laugh made every minute of the trip FUN.
This trip will long stand first in our memories of the over 80 countries we’ve visited. We thank Buyaga and especially Peter for the unforgettable experience.

Organised and helpful.
Had the most amazing experience at Mabula Game Lodge through Gems of Africa Safari and Tours! We got an amazing deal for Mabula that was incredibly good value for money as the package included accommodation, all meals and 2 game drives per day. They organised a cake for the birthday we celebrated and helped us out when we had to cancel one of the guests. Had the best experience and the most amazing weekend away, will definitely be using them again!

Perfect and excellent experience
We booked our tour with kenya bush expeditions which we believed were the best suit for us. Our visiting team from England had great memories of Kenya.The tour turned to be amazing. The selection of lodges was perfect to our budget. John promptly answered our questions well before the tour. I would perfectly recommend this company.

We felt taken care of as if we were part of the family
Anna has taken care of us as if we were her children. At first we were suspicious because the company has a few reviews, but in the end it has been an unforgettable experience. Everything was as planned and more, the price is one of the cheapest, they accompanied us everywhere and everything was well organized. The safari was unbeatable, with a guide who explained all the details about the animals and we can share the expierience with a cool group. They answered all our doubts and questions with friendly and personalized treatment. Asante Sana Mama Meru!

Memorable Safari in Uganda
We did a 19-day round trip with Nkuringo safaris. it was just outstanding and most impressive. Jack was our driver and guide and a great friend we will forever cherish and he was very competent in all activities. Thanks to him our unforgettable journey came to pass, encountering all the wild animals including the big five and and amazingly, six rhino at one place! All lodges were very good to excellent and the food was delicious.
