Amazing 3 day trip to Bwindi and Bunyonyi from Kigali
I had an amazing 3 day trip to Bwindi and Lake Bunyonyi with East African Jungle Safaris. Special thanks to my guide Ronald for the opportunity to stop for bird watching on the way to our destinations. On the first day I was picked up by Ronald from my hotel in Kigali and we headed to Uganda. On the way we did a lot of stops to enjoy the beautiful sceneries. The first accommodation (small private wooden house) in a small village in Bwindi had an amazing view on the forest. In the evening I did a cultural walk through the village. Next days in the morning we headed to our mail activity, Gorilla trekking. Don’t forget a mask (it’s a permanent requirement regardless of Covid), gloves and long socks to protect you from ants (which bite painfully). As we were lucky to find gorillas quite fast, we could arrive to Bunyonyi in the early afternoon so that I could do the kayaking on the same day. Bunyonyi is a very underestimated place with great views, flowers, birds. Don’t skip it if you go to Bwindi. On the last day after late breakfast we went to Kigali with a few stops for birds watching.

Extremly friendly people, fascinating wildlife, beautiful scenery
We had our Safari in early May. So the number of tourists was low, which created a very relaxed atmosphere with a superb service. All facilities were open and well staffed. Beacon Tours had selected top level lodges. The peak temperature in Nairobi, Masai Mara and Nakuru Park was 25 degrees which was very comfortable. In four days we watched the fig four (only leopards kept hiding) from short distance. About 30 lions, 50 buffalos, 50 girafes, 30 elephants,hundreds of antilopes, impalas, zebras, white and dark rhinos, hippos, cheetas, monkeys, ostrichs, others birds....
ALL people were very friendly and helpful. We had the impression that a whole country was working on giving us the best vacation experience of our lifes.

Trip of a Lifetime!
Thank you Tanzania Safari Collection for this life-changing experience! An African safari had been on my friends and my bucket list for years and this trip exceeded all of our expectations. We saw countless zebras, elephants, Masai giraffes, elands, topi, gazelles, cape buffaloes, baboons, hippos, and so many more animal and bird species up close. We were also fortunate see several lions, leopards, and cheetahs. In addition to all of that, our guide’s careful and precise planning allowed us to directly observe the Great Wildebeest Migration in the Serengeti (once in a lifetime experience!). Thank you to our amazing tour guide Jartan!

A wonderful 2 days visit to Maasai Mara National Reserve
I recently visited Maasai Mara National Reserve with my workmates at this prodigious company. Undoubtedly, it will remain a memory of remembrance to my colleagues and me. What made this safari distinguishable were the services we received from this company where the meals were delicious and we were able to see the big 5 animals. We were free to take photos. Our tour guide was friendly and informative as he made sure that we enjoyed our visit. I therefore highly recommend Bencia Africa Adventure & Safari.

A lifelong dream come true :)
I have been wanting to see the gorillas for many years, with my last attempt being in March 2020...
Luckily I was able to come to Uganda again and searched for reputable operators to help me achieve this. Peter's company quickly stood out as just that - and boy did he deliver!
Peter is a knowledgeable and friendly guide. I travelled alone and often requested changes to the day's plans which he went above and beyond to accommodate. He has a wealth of local knowledge and loads of anecdotes that make the road trips extra-special.
Everything was very well organised, down to the comfort breaks which is a nice touch, especially if travelling as a female alone. The activities were
The lodges (Bakiga; Birdnest Bunyonyi and Elephant Hab) were excellent: great facilities, good food and friendly service, as well as breathtaking views at each lodge, which was wonderful.
The activities were well planned and occurred with no surprises nor delays.
Peter was a delight to travel with, easy to talk with and just lovely to be in his company and learn about Uganda, off the beaten track.
If you are looking for a well organised trip at competitive rates, Peter is the one to contact!

We came as tourists, we left as friends
We have known Ruth and Tanzania Wildtouch Adventures for a long time from traveling through Tanzania.
For her special involvement with the people of her country the term 'social entrepreneurship' certainly applies. For her it is a way of life. As a Maasai girl from a small village, she is now, like her brother, an example of how Tanzania and Africa can develop on their own.
Based on the conviction that Ruth and her employees contribute to a better life for people in Tanzania, I want to support her in this through the Dutch department: Tanzania Wildtouch Adventure NL. Her slogan "Come as a tourist, leave as a friend" is the core of her business to me. That's how it happened with us A trip to Tanzania is a once in a lifetime experience in itself, but travelling by Tanzania Wildtouch Adventures makes it even more intense. An example of this are the exclusive visits to the Maasai community in the beautiful surroundings of Endulen
(Ruth's native village).

Excellent
I am an anti-poaching Ranger, and my work is in hoedspruit. As I live in pretoria, finding travel for work is quite difficult and expensive.
Safarilink satisfies my needs for a reliable and fast shuttle service, and exceeded my expectations. With the shuttle often being on time or arriving slightly early to your pickup point and drop off, as well as the easy bookings and the driver's kind and sociable persona, I never once felt uncomfortable or inconvenienced with the service, and the supremely comfortable shuttle makes the ride a treat.
The vehicle has good seats, superior air conditioning, Is clean and well maintained, and has charging points.
As someone who lives day in and day out in the bush, it is always comfortable and relaxing to take the Safarilink shuttle back home.
I have absolutely no complaints.
-Excellent driver
-Excellent vehicle
-Fantastic service
-Affordable and fast
I use this shuttle on a monthly basis to get to work.

Very rustic and humble, but ticks all the essential boxes.
Just got home from a dream come true safari. The game viewing is spectacular, our guide was Omary and he looked after us from day 1 and made sure we always had what we needed and that we were safe at all times.
He also went out of his way to try and get us to the sightings we really wanted to see.
The East African bush is magical and I will never forget the moments we experienced.
The surrounding areas are very rural, but the accommodation was clean and staff go out of their way to host and welcome you.
The chef who toured with us made delicious food everyday and we never went hungry, in fact, I've gained weight!
This is Africa, so you need to go with the flow.
Thank you Travel Africa!
