Seamlessly organised, incredible experience
We did the 2 night, 3 day safari trip to Selous National park, staying at Nyerere tented camp. It was amazing. Everything ran so smoothly, despite a couple of schedule changes. We were collected promptly from our hotel, greeted at the airport, greeted at the airstrip at the National park by our guide for the safari drive, Arii. He was an amazing guide, we saw a pride of lions, a herd of elephants, a close encounter with one elephant, wilderbeast, crocodiles, hippos, baboons, etc etc. He worked really hard to ensure we saw everything we could as we only had one day on the game drive - we were picked up at 7 and he dropped us at the hotel at 6, a very long and tiring day but totally worth it. And you are in charge of the itinerary so if you want to return to the hotel sooner, you can. The following day we did the bush walk with Simba, which was fabulous. He really engaged with us both, my son in particular and we learnt a lot, including how to make a fire in the bush. We did the village tour and boat safari and were lucky enough to see an elephant crossing the river. Overall awesome trip and totally recommend Uwanda tours and safari

Amazing experience
We had the best experience with Herman ! We wanted a safari tour for our honeymoon, Herman planned it so well, everything was beyond our expectations, he helped us before the trip to book our flights and explained us everything , was available for our questions at any time and gave us tips that helped us during our trip.
Herman met us in the airport, he was so polite, so friendly and so professional, during all the trip he gave us a lot of information about the locals , the trip that he planned for us including the hotels was amazing ! After the amazing experience we had with him he dropped us at the airport and escort us till we get inside to our next flight.

Awesome experience
We booked the 4 day Ruanda-Uganda with Gorilla trekking and Queen Elizabeth NP, that was perfectly scheduled for us (me and my daughter), Thanks to fluent communication with Fred, that answered all my questions and inquieres on time. But the utmost part was our guide Champion, a 5 star guy who really made us the trip, his knowledge and experience about animaos and the land and also his friendliness. We enjoyed our time being with him and also of course, the amazing animals we saw, which he always knew where and what to look at!

Good but Unprofessional & Disrespectful
I joined the group as a solo female traveler. Day 1 as we waited for the others, the tour guide asked if I had a bf & that if I moved to Tanzania he would marry me because I’m so beautiful etc. On the last day, the others had to leave early so I was alone with the tour guide. He kept pressing me if I had a bf & said foreign women come to Africa to have sex with African men. He also asked me if my bf & I like to have fun & have sex.
The tour guide also kept watching YouTube videos out loud as we observed animals. It was annoying. I loved the safari but I was extremely uncomfortable with the guide.

Very knowledgeable and amazing
Mr Dickson was incredible kind and knowledgeable. Picked me up on time from Nairobi and made sure we all completed our itinerary as planned. During my 3 days Masai Mara safari he answered all of my questions and made sure i felt comfortable and happy.
Price tour was very affordable. His car was great and safe.
I’m a solo traveler and I will recommend mr Dickson always 10/10.

Excellent
We had a very cool guide called Kevin who took care of us in Masai Mara. The visit to the Masai Village was the highlight together with watching the incredible animals. Watching the lions, giraffes, zebras and elephants in their natural habitat was a surrealistic feeling. I'm very happy with Axis and as reviews can tell a very reliable company that put your satisfaction at first.

Dedicated, knowledgeable and an excellent advocate for Ugandas natural beauty.
The trip we did with Frank Tours was an extensive journey anti clockwise around Uganda over 21 days. We started in Entebbe and spent the first week exploring the eastern side visiting Jinja, Sipi Falls, Moroto and Kidepo.
From there we visited Murchison Falls, Kibale and Queen Elizabeth National Park before heading to Bwindi to see the Gorillas, then onto Lake Bunyoni, Rwakobo Rock then back to Entebbe to fly out.
We loved that Frank had such fantastic local knowledge and engaged local guides to take us on walks, to visit small communities and even take us to their homes. Our itinerary was flexible to a certain degree meaning we could swap activities or cancel a game drive if we needed a quiet morning. Nothing was too much trouble for Frank.
We felt we gained a deeper insight into Ugandan life through this more extensive tour.
All the Lodges chosen by Frank were in stunning locations with very helpful staff and great food. From cleaning our boots to washing our clothes nothing was too much trouble.
The tour included the favoured Ugandan highlights such as the Chimps and Gorillas but Uganda is so much more than this.
Sitting in a small wooden canoe watching the sunset on Lake Bunyoni and hiking up Mt Moroto with a local guide for me was as great an experience as the chimps and gorillas.

The most amazing and thrilling experience of our lives, the kindest, most gentle, caring staff ever
My 8 years-old son and I took a tour to the Moremi Game Reserve for 3 days. From the very first message, Kemy was as kind and helpful as one can ever dream of. She made it so simple, overcoming all difficulties, explaining everything in the most heart warming way possible. Then, Tebby, Odee and Oniel were simply perfect. My son is shy and does not speak English well. They managed to overcome his defences by making him part of the expedition, telling him tales, teaching him setsuane words... They had booked the best camping site in the reserve and we saw everything we had hoped to see (my son loves animals). He still misses them. When we returned to Maun our guest house had sold our room, the whole city was overbooked and Kemy and Tebby took us with their car from one place to another until they found a room for my son and I. I was speechless. This review is a poor way to thank them for all what they did for us. Also, our flight from Gaborone to Maun was brought forward and we missed the connection. Kemy made it so simple, helped us with the hotel reservation and they changed the safari plan on the fly. If the review scale had numbers larger than 5, they'd deserve them. Thank you, Kemy. Thank you Tebby, Odee, Oniel. You are a treasure larger than Moremi.

Amazing and priceless safari
In June we decided last minute to do a trip in Uganda and we chose Buyaga for our trip. They are fast to reply and try their ultimate best to make sure you get the experience you want. We did a 10 day trip and had a private tour. We had Alex as our guide at the beginning of our trip and at the end we had Peter as our guide. They were both amazing and made us feel truly at home in Uganda. They were very knowledgeable and kind. We stayed at beautiful lodges with amazing food. If you are still deciding on a tour operator for your Ugandan trip, I would highly recommend you choose Buyaga. They are worth every penny!
