Dedicated and a really cool guide!
I went with a group to the Masai Mara in August and contacted Wildebeest Safaris. I communicated with Noah who was very helpful and accommodating. The entire experience was wonderful and we didn’t have any hassles. Dennis, our guide, was punctual and super friendly. The trip was amazing and definitely one to remember. It was well planned, and everything promised was delivered. I would definitely recommend them!

Unforgettable stay
6-day safari in the heart of the savannah.
An amazing and wonderful family experience.
Our guide Hemed was great. He knows his job very well and thanks to him we were able to see Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Hyenas and so many other animals.
Our son celebrated his 4th birthday and he organized a birthday cake for him with the hotel. A nice note.
We will keep unforgettable memories of this magnificent stay.
We recommend our Hemed guide 100%

Outstanding
All In Africa Safaris were brilliant. They were caring, responsive to our needs, provided a full, rounded and all-around engaging tour. They looked after us with great care and interest in us as people. They were obviously passionate about Uganda and sharing its beauties and challenges with us. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable openly and answered our many questions intelligently. The experiences and the trip itinerary was very rounded and included, physical, cultural, culinary, environmental experiences. Our driver was very experienced and drove with great care and skilfully on the sometimes challenging roads. We felt the trip was absolutely perfect in every way.

Outstanding and responsive personal tours
5 out of 5. AIAS were responsive and communicative over 12 months as we planned our trip. They provided many options and were imaginative about the the options available for us. They read our particular interests.
The eventual itinerary was fantastic and enabled us to experience the delights and highlights of Uganda. We wanted to mix passive and active adventure and they organised these perfectly.
Jonathan and Francis were open and honest answering our many and varied questions about almost every aspect or Uganda- we called them Uganda Google! They found the most fantastic and interesting off the beaten track places with great spontaneity.
We will miss Uganda!

Unforgettable experience with a reliable company
We did a 10 days private tour across Uganda with TrueVine and we loved it! Our guide Bernard is one of the most honest and trustworthy people I ever met. He is the guide you want for your trip in East Africa: very knowledgeable about the history, the nature and the culture of Uganda, an expert driver and he always did the extra mile to look for the animals. The car we had was strong and we never had problem with it despite most roads in Uganda are not paved. The itinerary was full of places to see and activities and it is completely customizeable according to your preferences. We chose the mid-range accomodations option and we really liked all the hotels we went, all clean closed to the parks and the food was always good. Highlights of the trip were definitely gorillas and chimps. We totally recommend this company for your trip in the pearl of Africa! They organize trips in all east africa and you will be able to include also few countries in your itinerary.

Excellent tour operator with a great personal touch.
As former Airline personnel I travelled a lot to Africa, more specifically Kenya. As our family grew (both in age as in quantity) and was about to travel abroad themselves and my wife and myself were celebrating our 25th honeymoon anniversary (more on that later) we decided to make one last (for now) trip together, and it was quickly decided upon that it had to be Kenya.
My wife took it upon herself to start planning the trip using desktop research. We contacted several tour operators which all, but one (African Travels), said that our planning could not be done. Fortunately we had a great zoom-session with Marijnke (at that moment situated in Kenya) which ended in a very positive way. As we wanted to explore multiple game reserves (Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo East) and travel by car to soak up the local smells etc. our plan meant travelling a lot. However travelling by car means meeting a lot of people and seeing the country in all its aspects which is what we were after. We basically asked Marijnke to come up with a travel scheme matching our original plan whereby the only restriction was that we did not want to sleep in the big tourist resorts, but stay in small, personal and hidden gems. Boy did she succeed!
The days before our departure from Amsterdam where somewhat troubled due to some check-in ticket issues. After contacting African Travels via WhatsApp it was however swiftly dealt with and we were assured that the issue was with the computer system of the airline and that all tickets were valid and good-to-go. This was confirmed during the check-in at the airport.
After arrival at Nairobi we were met by Richard which immediately suggested a change in plan which would save us some travelling time back and forth through Nairobi. Great suggestion Richard, much appreciated. Thnx! We now had some time available to scroll through (a small part of) Nairobi and do some shopping.
The next day we were met by our guide/drive and what would become a good friend Jeff. As we would be travelling together for the next 8 days this would mean spending a lot of time together in close quarters. After driving a few miles Jeff asked if we liked Rock&Roll, well not specifically but some music is always nice. This was the start of a musical underlined journey

Loved it!
Freka African Holidays (Emily) was very flexible in helping us design our itinerary. We asked a few agencies but Freka included the most activities and had the most compatible price. Sometimes we felt a bit insecure about booking directly and paying the deposit and had to ask about our status.
We did a 9-day tour through Uganda and were picked up and dropped off in Rwanda. Our tour included: Lake Mburo (game drives and boat tour), Kibale (chimpanzee trekking and swamp walk), Queen Elizabeth National Park (game drives and boat tour), Bwindi (including gorilla trekking and Batwa experience) and Lake Bunyonyi (boat tour). We choose the budget option for accommodations but they were all very nice and all our food and drinking water was also included. Our guide Frank was friendly, kind and a good driver (O my..., we could not manage to drive those dirt roads ourselves). We really enjoyed our experience in Uganda! And we would recommend it to everyone!

Very well organised
Was collected from my hotel promptly and Alex whisked me to the Safari Park.
Whilst the animals are well cared for and looked after, this isn't the same as a Safari Tour, but more a Wildlife Park experience where the animals live in large enclosures. This does mean that you can get really up close and personal with them.

Fantastic value for money, really comfortable, good food and accommodating staff.
Our first safari. We were on a budget with limited time. This safari was perfect. The tents were comfortable and even had electric blankets. The food was amazing each night, accommodating dietary requirements. Dinner also included a bottle of wine. The safari was amazing, we were lucky enough to see the big 5. Our tour guide was very informative and took us to all the perfect spots. Before arrival the company was very communicative and able to pick us up to our airport hotel.
