An Excellent compagny. Second is ever better than first one (12 years ago)
I spent 7 days with a local agency called Jackpot Safaris. They organize the stay you want and make suggestions. The prices are attractive and the service is of high quality; Everything is clear and sure.
My stay took place on:
- Arusha NP (hotel african-view lodge - excellent hotel in terms of accommodation and meals), and a walk with an armed ranger
- Tarangire NP (also excellent Kudu view lodge accommodation in Karatu, an immense room and a service with care, excellent buffet)
- Lake Manyara (same hotel: practical!)
- Serengeti (exceptional hotel: Into Wild Africa of tents in nature, the lion which roars at night, a hyena which passes 5 meters from the tent, gazelles everywhere)
- Ngorongoro (hotel Kudu view Logde)
- last day at the foot of Kili, visit of a coffee plantation + walk in the forest at the foot of Kili, splendid view and we made our coffee ourselves brilliant)
A top guide, kind, good driver and well organized (time in the parks is short) and who has a lynx's eye.
A family business, we did the last day with the boss's eldest daughter and it was also great

People at African Tours & Safaris are efficient, trustworthy and know how to take care of travellers
From the first email to the last phone call everything has been beyond my expectations with African Tours & Safaris. They proposed the best tour regarding our requests and provided a french speaking guide.
They took time to answer all our questions which was really reassuring.
I definitely recommend African Tours & Safaris!

Professional and outstanding service
I really enjoyed my trip to Ol Pejeta in Nanyuki. These guys planned the whole experience for me and my friends. The variety of wildlife was a good touch. It's nice to leave the big city for a retreat sometimes! I highly recommend Extra Miles Unique Adventures and I'll definitely count on them for my next outing.

Great team to work with with in-depth knowledge of the area, destinations and hotels.
Even though my business partner and I had delayed to make reservations and made a last minute call, the Extra Miles team was really great and understanding, they made us feel at ease through out the entire journey, They took care of everything for us from booking the flight to Lodwar and back to the accommodations. The flight they booked for us awesome and from their offices to the airport and the hotel they helped us secure all our luggage. The hotel they reserved for us was classy and very accessible to where our conference was being held.
When we were done with the conference they did recommend and facilitated breath-taking destinations to tour, we even brought along some of our colleagues who were not with us from the start of our journey.
We were skeptic with the rates but after the entire trip was over, we felt good value for our money and the best thing is they kept in touch with us through out the entire four days stay kept recommending more places, it was like they had accompanied us all the way.
I would recommend Extra Miles Unique Adventures to anyone who wants to take a safari or even for just travel recommendations and I look forward to my next trip with them, they truly took us 'The Extra Mile' with very 'Unique Adventures'
Thank you to the entire team of Extra Miles and especially Ms. Adaka who kept in touch with us all through our trip.

If you’ve ever contemplated or “bucket-listed” a Safari in Tanzania, Galloping Safari’s is the choice guided excursion. Walter Tenga, director of operations, put together a all inclusive luxury tour of 4 national parks on a nine day stay. The three of us were greeted upon landing by Walter then escorted to a nearby luxury accommodation for our first night stay in Arusha. The following morning Walter introduced us to Lawrence, our private guide for the next nine days. Lawrence, a fifteen year guide veteran with a big smile and jovial humor made this Safari a personal and intimate experience that has left us so grateful and honored to call him a friend. An expert and naturalist on the flora and fauna of the regions we visited, his wealth of knowledge was unsurpassed in spotting, identifying, and placing us in the best position to photograph. I’m still editing and marveling at the 2,000 plus pictures captured!
We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti national parks. Walter also added some cultural stops into the itinerary, a visit to a Maasai village and a stop at a working museum/art gallery. All so added was the highlight of our Safari, a hot air Balloon ride across the Serengeti to see the migratory Wildebeast from above!
Our accommodations thru-out were world class. Each night we were graciously catered to at each of the Sanctuary, Lemala and Four Seasons resorts on route.
Walter and Lawrence nurtured us throughout the Safari even as I told ill, (from a medicine reaction a was prescribed. That’s another story).
Walter’s planning and guidances eased us through in-field COVID testing to arranging our bush flight from the Serengeti back to Kilimanjaro.
I am so grateful to have had this opportunity and the expert planning and guidance of both Walter and Lawrence. We are daily recounting the stories and pictures to friends and loved ones.
WOW!!!

Our bespoke Kenya and Tanzania safari was amazing!
Soul of Tanzania and our safari designer Luis put together a near perfect bucket list trip for my wife and I. From the very first email contact to the updated communications during our safari, the service and attention was impeccable. During the design phase, it was never more than 24 hours before they would get back to me with answers to our many questions. We were given multiple choices / levels of accommodation to choose from at every stop which was very nice. We stayed at two tented camps in Kenya, and three different tented camps in Tanzania, and were able to see EVERY big game animal we wanted. We saw lions on 7 of 10 safari days, cheetahs four different days, the elusive leopards twice, as well as too many elephants, giraffe, zebra, and wildebeest to count. I highly recommend starting with one of their set packages and customizing for your liking. I also recommend multiple tented camps so your chances of different animal encounters increase dramatically.

A dream come true! thanks to Lifetime Experience Safaris
After a visit to Kampala from Juba, South Sudan in June 2021, when I brought my dad for a medical review in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown, it wasn't easy to find any places of refreshment around for my old man.
Uganda's tourism sector as one of the industries operating immediately came in my mind, but the big question was, how can I afford such a trip to take my dad to see the beauty of the Pearl of Africa to refresh his mind?
The internet was my first point of reference to find as much information as possible regarding Uganda's tourist attraction centers with much emphasis on the national parks. Yes, I did get information and the related costs which were really high. This put off my hopes of taking out my dad.
In my neighborhood, there is a gentleman who I have always seen driving a tourist safari Toyota Landcruiser that I believed is associated with tourism and hoped he would give me better information. Little did I know he was a gateway to my dream come true.
Yes, we met and I told him about visiting one of Uganda's game parks with my dad & asked if he could help. He introduced himself as Mr. Jesse Tom, a founding member of Lifetime Experience Safaris, one of Uganda's leading tourism firms. Because he was a bit busy, he requested we have a Zoom meeting later that day so he could take me through the tourist activities in various game parks of Uganda as well as give me cost breakdowns for the trips.
Jesse, in his presentations of several game parks, ignited more love in me for the trip. He recommended a 3-day tour of the Murchison Falls National Park, the largest national park in Uganda for our visit. The cost he gave for the entire trip was less than half of the ones I obtained from the internet. To make it even more interesting, he offered to take us on part payment and that we could clear the balance a few days upon return. I couldn't let such opportunity go & immediately accepted.
On 24th July, my dad, his friend & my little daughter of 5 yrs, set off to the park. George, a young, energetic & humorous gentleman was our driver & tour guide at the same time. This is how we got our lifetime experience during the 2-nights & 3-day Murchison Falls National Park safari.
Day 1: We drove to Murchison Falls National Park, stopped at Masindi for lunch then proceeded to check into the park for the afternoon safari drive which lasted until dark. We saw many wildlife and enjoyed every bit of it. We later checked into our lodge, had a tasty dinner and off to rest.
Day 2: We woke up at 4am, had breakfast and went for the early morning game drive and this time in the company of a game ranger who took us to the game tracks where we saw a lioness, her cub & also got an opportunity to see a leopard on a tree branch. It was all joy & a great experience for my dad. We then had our lunch at Chili lodge.
At 2pm, we went for the afternoon 2.5 - 3hr boat cruise safari on the Nile River. It was another great experience. We saw many marine lives such as hippos & crocs, a couple of beautiful birds, etc. as we cruised to the bottom of the mighty Murchison Falls. Upon return from the boat cruise, we had a short evening game drive & saw a few wild lives that we hadn’t seen on day 1. We later went to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 3: This was our last day in the park. We woke up at 7am, had breakfast and drove to the top of the falls. This, to me was most amazing experience and it summed up our trip. I could see my dad, his friend & my little daughter engulfed in joy as they ran around enjoying the water falls and the cold breeze from the River Nile. I was so happy that at last it happened.
George, our friendly driver & tour guide then drove us back home to Kampala. It was indeed a well fulfilled dream. Thanks Mr. Jesse Tom & Lifetime Experience Safaris Uganda.
