Great Mara experience
David found the big 5 for us! ( even a rhino) He turned around when we were almost back at our hotel on one drive when others would not. He knew where and when to go on drives and asked us what we wanted to see. Would certainly recommend David.

Masi Mara tour
Our driver David was very experienced and certainly knew his way around. we asked specifically if we could see a Cheetah or a leopard in the end we saw both. the tour hit the highlights on the last evening drive when David using the radio contact of other drivers found a rhino which made the whole adventure a dream come true..highly recommended

Excellent tour operator
David was a brilliant tour operator. He was obviously knowledgable about the area as well as the animals. He was attentive to the radio throughout drives to make sure we could get the very best from each drive. We were lucky enough to see all the big 5 and this had a lot to do with David’s hard work and willingness to go above and beyond. I would highly recommend booking a trip with him. Top fella who worked hard throughout!

Fantastic 3days safari with great guide!
We are a family of 3 people and were very happy to experiment a 3days safari with our wonderful guide Isaya.
Everything was perfectly planned and organised. We stayed in comfortable lodgings and had great food. Everything was included in the package (entry-fees of the national parks, accommodation, food and water).
The communication with Isaya was simple and fluent before and during our stay in Tanzania.
As soon as we met we felt like family members and Isaya our guide did all he could to make us feel great,
to please us and show us the most beautiful things (animals, landscapes, waterfalls etc.)
Even though it was the rainy season in April, we managed to see lions, girafs, impalas, elephants and many more.
Concerning the payment of the safari the good thing was that we could pay on arrival, so absolutely safe and without surprises.
In conclusion, these 3 days with Isaya were really fantastic, we will keep in our memory this unforgettable experience!!

Amazing guide, fantastic food and beautiful animals!
The safari was a 10/10 from beginning to end! The guide was so nice, informative and told us what was happening all the time ☺️ And let’s not forget the amazing food. We got a good variety of dishes and were never hungry! Loved the whole safari and all the animals we got to see! The tents were also big and comfy! Nothing bad to say about this trip!

Best tour in my life
The tour was simply best! Not one of the best, but best!
We had a private safari to kenya and was organized by Sino Africa Safari. Our safari specialist was Mr Jong, who tailor made our safari. Francis was our driver guide, he was excellent driver guide and taught us a lot about animals! We strongly recommend them1

A dream come true - From beginning to end
I and my travel partner did an 11-day tour to Uganda with Rafiki Eco Safaris. From the very beginning, it was an amazing experience. Yakub took care of us preparing the perfect itinerary according to our wishes.
We were able to see different parts of Uganda and the whole tour was simply outstanding. We fulfilled our dream of seeing gorillas for the very first time and we had incredible experiences to take home.
I'm very thankful to choose Rafiki Safaris for this trip. It was the best decision in the whole journey and can't wait to return to Uganda one more time and explore even more

It was simply perfect.
I booked a shared camping safari - meaning a budget 3d/2n trip - with Avocet. Prices and everything were communicated very transparently. Our guide (= driver) was excellent (ask for Waldon!!). He is very experienced and gave me the impression that there is nothing on earth he would rather do than this job. Besides, we had a chef with us, who was treating us very well :D and understands his business perfectly. The effort those guys made during our safari was really amazing.
After all, we had awesome days in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Conservation Area, saw many animals due to the eagle eyes of our guide, and last but not least we had a lot of fun and collected memories I will never forget.

Amazing 11 days tour across Uganda - once in a lifetime experience
I joined a 11 days tour of Uganda organized by Rafiki Eco-Safaris - what an experience. Yakub, the owner, joined the trip together with Robinson, our driver and guide. The two of them know Uganda in and out, they knew all the best spots, hotels, and local fixers to help us get through Uganda in the smoothest possible way. We started our trip in Kampala, and drove directly to Fort Portal, where we hike to some crater lakes, and to a cave area. In the evening, we performed a night walk around a lake looking for bush babies. The next day, we woke up early to do a chimpanzee trek in the Kibale NP, my personal highlight of the trip. After that, we drove down to Kasese, and stayed three days around the Queen Elizabeth NP, where we had some really close encounters with lions, did one of the best boat rides I had in the whole of Africa, and visited the beautiful volcanic craters of the park. After Queen Elizabeth, we got to Bwindi NP, where we had the second highlight of the trip, gorilla trekking. Yakub organized a stay at the clinic for gorillas, and visits to local Batwa (pygmeys) tribes and coffee plantations. Finally, we stayed at Lake Bunyoniy, in an amazing lodge, and after that a visit to Lake Mburo NP, where we could do an exciting game walk with giraffes. Yakub and Robinson were kind enough to change our plan last minute and help us cross to Rwanda rather than going back to Kampala. They drove us to the border, helped us get a covid test to cross, and made sure we would reach Kigali safely. All in all, one of the most professional tour operators I've met in the whole of Africa, highly recommended.
