Uzuri Uganda Safaris are the BEST!!!!!
I am writing this review on my one year anniversary from the best vacation trip ever!! Last year I went on a Safari with Uzuri Uganda Safaris, with Edris, Joachim and Ronnie. I was with my two daughters who joined me on my number one bucket list experience, Africa.......the Chimps and Gorillas. Going to Uganda was both exciting and bit nerve racking for me, as we were three females, going into a place that I was not sure what to expect. From the very first minute we were on the Safari, Edris took fantastic care of us. We always felt safe. The lodging that he selected was exactly as we requested and the experiences met our utmost expectation. Of course the time spent with the chimps and gorillas will never leave our hearts. I am so grateful to Edris and his team for making my dream to go Africa the best it could ever be!!! I can not recommend Uzuri Uganda Safaris high enough, they are the BEST!!

Emmy was very adept at doing what ever it takes for us to have the best experience.
Our tour was packed full of adventure. There was always something amazing to see. The accommodations were clean and the service was exceptional. All the guides were so educated on the animals and locations, as well as eggar to answer any questions. Grassrootz Adventures tour package took care of all our needs, we only paid for gratuity. Sander Van Zanten arranged our entire package to suit our needs and Emmy our driver would stop at nothing to be sure we were well taken care of.
I have recommended Grassrootz Adventure to all my friends.

Fantastic tour, made our honeymoon incredible
Every part of booking and the tour with lion king was perfect. Nickson and Rose were wonderful to work with while we were making our reservations, the price point for our tour was very competitive, and we were able to make the experience our own by adding extras we were looking for.
When we arrived, a Lion King Representative got us from the airport and everything was worry free after that point.
Our lodges/tented camps were excellent! We stayed at the Nyota luxury camps and it was incredible, WiFi, hot and cold water showers both indoors and outdoors! The atmosphere was incredible, hearing lions and Hyenas as you are tucking into bed is pretty cool.
Our tour guide Yousef was excellent. Very patient with us and let us take as long as we wanted looking at animals. He had great vision looking for animals, took great care of us, and ensured our comfort all the way through the trip.
We got unbelievably lucky and got to see the great migration crossing the Mara River. Yousef did some great driving to ensure we got a great view.
Food was excellent.
Could not have asked for any better. Had a wonderful time, I would recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone looking for an incredible safari experience.

The most amazing Safari vacation we could have asked for!!!
Lilian and the entire Zohar team are the best company we could have asked for! Lilian was very easy to work with, accommodating to all our requests, and very responsive. We planned our entire itinerary with Zohar which included flying from mainland to Zanzibar to stay a few days, flying to Gombe National Park for chimp trekking, and flying into the Serengeti to start our 6 day safari. Lilian booked every stay we had and even scheduled all of our rides/flights which made everything very easy throughout our trip.
Our guides while we were in Gombe National Park were all very nice and helpful and we highly recommend staying at least a night at Mbali Mbali Gombe Lodge if you can. We saw a ton of velvet monkey and baboons around the lodge and several chimps when we trekked through the park.
Once we were in the Serengeti, we were picked up by Solomon, Daniel, and Goodluck with Zohar African Safaris and we couldn't have asked for better guides. They were all extremely knowledgeable of the animals, extremely nice, and went above and beyond each day so we could see as many animals as possible. We were able to see every animal we could possibly think of and more and we have Zohar to thank for that! Also, all of the places we stayed at were really nice, the food was excellent, and all for an affordable price.
This was a trip of a lifetime and if we go back, we will be using Zohar African Safaris!

Magnificent. From the excellent communication to the perfect experience.
Our safari was magnificent! We loved every minute of it and wished it would have been longer. Kennedy was the perfect guide for our family and did an excellent job educating us, especially my children along the way. He could answer any question thoroughly and expand with personal experience and anecdote. At the beginning of the trip he asked the children what they wanted to see most and then made sure that it all happened. He also made us feel very welcome and comfortable. We felt like family.
Our accommodations were excellent. We especially enjoyed Burunge Tented Lodge for the views, the pool, and the spacious family rooms. Pumzika and Pakulala Camp were also excellent. The staff at Pumzika were outstanding. Pakulala camp staff were also very accommodating. The location of Pakulala was incredible and we loved the view of the caldera. Highlight there was a giraffe walking by at breakfast. Everyone that we met who worked for any accomodation, we loved. Amos and Tekla at Pumzika stand out, especially.
The whole safari was a highlight in and of itself. Seeing cheetahs eating a gazelle was a particularly cool moment. We loved getting so close to the lions in Serengeti and Ngorogoro, and seeing a hyena run away with a zebra leg. The kids especially loved the families of elephants at Tarangire, the many giraffes with babies, the flamingos, and the hippos at Ngorogoro. I could list all of the animals though, because they were all magnificent.
Furthermore, stopping to meet the Maasai family was very special. It is very kind of them to allow visitors to come in for a moment to visit their home.
We will remember this trip forever, it was life changing and simply wonderful. We will definitely come again and recommend Soul of Tanzania to everyone that we know

Simply great safari tour operator
We did 6 days safari with the family, it was really great, well organized, we visited the national parks perfectly explained by our guide Mike, the best driver and guide we ever has, we saw the big 5 and many other wild animals in an amazing nature, the food and drinks during the tour were also very good.
Tanzania is a very safe and beautiful country and local people are very friendly and welcoming, it was the first time in Tanzania and it's a country to come back for sure again.

Amazing customer service
Highly recommend booking your tour with Serengeti Wakanda. We had an amazing time on our safari. Bashir was our driver and guide and Machete was our chef. We were able to see a lot of animals including lions, lion cubs, cheetah with her cubs, leopard, buffalo, elephants, zebras, hippos and also lots of other animals and birds. Bashir made sure we always had the best viewing spot and often we were the first ones finding the animals. We even saw lions hunting and the little cubs playing. Machete our chef always made sure we had plenty of delicious food for breakfast lunch and dinner. We visited many awesome picnic sites as well with great scenery to have our breakfast or lunch and also to drink coffee and tea. We felt very well taken care of as they also arranged our transfers from the hotel and back. Communication was excellent! Highly recommend!

Abdallah is the best guide in Tanzania
This is my second trip to Tanzania and wow what a difference. Mega wild safaris knows what they are doing! And our intrepid guide Abdallah was just incredible. His enthusiasm and patience with all of our questions and love of the work made the whole trip so much fun. He also has this Preternatural ability to anticipate where the animals are going to be and how to exactly position the cars so that we could get the best view. It was uncanny. Like a magician. If you are ever going to Tanzania, make sure you request him as your guide because he made everything so special. Thank you mega wild Safari is for the trip of a lifetime. We will definitely be back.
