It was very interesting and interesting
We recently completed a customized tour of Uganda with a volcano hike in Rwanda all arranged by Laba Africa . Our guide, Moses, did an amazing job of finding interesting wildlife for us to see, arranging boat trips, meals, lodging and answering all of our many questions about the wildlife, culture, geography, plants, foods etc of Uganda. Possibly the most amazing thing was to watch him navigate the roads - he was a true expert in driving up and down mountains on bumpy unimproved mud roads and through the most crowded congested roads in Kampala that I have ever experienced. I remember Thanking God that he was driving over and over!! The lodgings provided ranged from adequate to downright luxurious. One tip - take some form of noise reducers - they don't insulate any walls here so you hear everything anyone does in the bathroom clearly and the nearby villages play music or preachers over loudspeakers well into the night.

Wow, wow, wow!!!
Wow, wow, wow!!! I don't even know where to start. This trip, with Laba Africa Expeditions, was amazing! First off, the company itself: When booking these types of tours from the US, most will ask that you wire transfer the money or pay the credit card service fee. I got super nervous on this part. After spending 5 days with this company- I now can safely tell people, don't worry! They are a very reputable company. Level of service: Our driver, Moses, was great! He picked us up right from the airport, had a sign with our name, and took care of us the entire trip. He was educated, spoke English well, was funny and was there to help us with whatever we needed. Vehicle: We had an older van type of car but we ended up loving it! The back seat was spacious and I even was able to jump in the third row seat and lay down for a bit if I wanted to. The top lifted off for us to see all of the great animals while driving. Our driver cleaned it every night for us and made sure we had fresh water each day. Animals: we went in January and we saw so many animals. We did the safari portion, the chimps and the gorillas and all were amazing. I would do the exact same trip again anytime!
Tipping: Don't forget to tip about $20 (more if you want) per day per person. We gave him the tip at the very end and gave him US dollars. We made sure before leaving the US the bills were newer as they don't accept older bills in Uganda

We were very pleased with our Green World Safari trip - so many different adventures!
Awesome vacation with Green World Safari. Betty was very accessible via email during all the planning stages and questions. Moses, Godfrey, and John were excellent drivers/guides - A few folks thought that, given the road conditions, sometimes they drove too fast. Our days were full! Would have perhaps been good to have a few open evenings, but we wouldn't have wanted to miss anything either! One concern was some of our group having to share accommodations at Murchison River Lodge.....not fair to some that others of us had our own space. I've already talked with Betty about that. Godfrey knows all the animals and birds which was a hit for us! John and Moses knew many, as well. We appreciated all of the learning and knowledge that these guides shared with us. Concern that one of the steering wheels came off while driving - a bit scary! The best shopping was the first day at the outside market in Murchison park, I think. Fabric and prices seemed to be the best there. Accommodations were very nice....we were very pleased......and meals were wonderful. We do like our eggs for breakfast which were available most days. THANK YOU! Ndere Cultural center was a perfect way to end our time together. Mick and I both enjoyed being "leaders" and organizers for the group. THANK YOU for our Ugandan gifts, Betty. That was very thoughtful of you. We hope the tipping worked out for all of our stops and the guides. We tried our best to check on all of that ahead of time. We thank you all for our fabulous time in Uganda. It was heartwarming that you picked us all up with our late arrival in Entebbe.....and made sure we had so many opportunities along the way. We will share our experiences, photos, and adventures. Mick and I hope to see you all again someday! Let us know if any of the four of you ever come to Colorado....you are most welcome! We wish you the very best. Mick and Nancy Sommer, Golden Colorado.

An easy and stress free booking experience with incredibly helpful employees.
Before I left for Uganda I wanted to have my gorilla trek booking set in place. So I found Bushman Safaris online and contacted them to help with this, I travel to Uganda often and work in a rural village so did not have any tour guides or the spare time to make the 10 hour trip to Kampala to collect my permit. Bushman Safaris went above and beyond to ensure my permit got delivered to the village where I work which in itself is amazing customer service. I can't thank Kate enough for all she had done for me throughout this process, from answering all of my questions before my arrival in Uganda to ensuring I made it back safely to the UK after my 10 week stay. The trek was obviously an incredible experience but with the help of Bushman Safaris it made the whole experience so much easier and stress free. Thanks again Bushman safaris and a special thanks to Kate.

Just an Amazing experience with Bumhi Safari. I can’t wait for the next one thank you so much
It was my very first safari & I can tell you that it has been an AMAZING one thank to Tende & Ivana (Bumhisafari).
Everything was just PERFECTLY organized.
The life in the camp was just incredible, better than what I expected. Superb meals (Tende cooks every day different meals adapted to what you prefer & you will even discover African fish, meat or wines), super comfortable bed.
I have learned a lot with Tende who perfectly master everything about the wild ecosystem & all living being.
He really respect the nature & is totally part of the wild.
He shares his passion with pleasure and a touch of humor.
It was an experience full of discovery, dazzle, relaxation and learnings.
I highly recommend you to life at least one experience with them if you are looking for a high quality experience, perfectly organized and only for small groups.
Really individualized you won’t find more unique.
A huge THANK YOU to Tende & Ivana for this safari.
I can’t wait for the next one and for sure it will be with you.

It was an Incredible experience
yes, this was the once in a life time experience. My self, my girlfriend and two other friends completed a 3 day trek with Ngoni Safaris Uganda. Very first day we were hiked for six hours, mostly up hill, to find the gorilla family. Finally, We were within 10/12 feet from the silverback and five other gorillas. Our guides were wonderful, that making sure we were positioned close to them to get excellent pictures. then on second day we asked to our guides, to see a family of gorillas with their babies. Then guides made it and we came upon the gorilla family after four hours of hiking throughout a dense jungle. This family had several mothers with babies (10 or 12). The silverback always positioned himself between us and his family. I suggest that everyone hire a porter. We were hiking in very dense jungle, through rivers, going up and down steep terrain. Girls in team was taking help by a porter, he pulled them up many hills and many times saved them from sliding down terrain. Be prepared with rain gear, gaiters, water, bug spray and one hiking stick( you need your other hand free for your porter to help you up the mountain

Tour exceeded all of my expectations!
While visiting my son in Kenya, we decided to take Mufasa Tours and Travel’s 6-day Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara private safari. The tour was amazing, and the animals and parks were incredible, but it was made extra special by our guide, Kevin. In addition to being extremely professional, he is also very knowledgeable of the behavior of animals that we encountered in the parks. He knew where they were likely to be, and was genuinely interested in them, too. If you are interested in birds, Kevin is your guy! He is well versed in male/female/juvenile/courtship plumage of birds we encountered on safari. Kevin also brakes for insects and reptiles! His passion for the biological world is refreshing. After dinner on a couple of evenings, he took a few minutes of his time to point out constellations that are so bright and beautiful in the game parks, where lights don’t interfere with their clarity. Overall, It was a fantastic experience that we will never forget! Thank you Kevin!

Special moment in my life that I’ll remember forever!
Everything was so wonderful and the customer service was beyond helpful! You guys are amazing & our guide, Solomon, was fantastic! The lodges that we stayed in were one of my favorite parts, as they were all beautiful and also very attentive to our needs. I will recommend Zohar to anyone I know going to Tanzania!
