Unspoiled by mass tourism
Uganda is one of the countries where you can still experience the true meaning of exploring. There are not many tourists even in the height of peak season and for this reason it is still very unspoiled.
We firstly visited Lake Mburo NP- the only park with zebras. They are in the process of introducing giraffes into the park, which means you are walking among them during bush walks. Spectacular.
The next was Queen Elizabeth NP, which was kind of disappointing as there was scarcity of animals. We did se a leopard and a few lions but from afar- we could barely make them out. You can hire a ranger for lion spotting which grants you the possibility to see them up close (which costs around 150 USD per person), something we found quite expensive . Its possible we were there at the wrong time of the year.
However, the boat ride on Kazinga channel was a rollercoaster of wildlife and interesting facts, so definitely worth it.
The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the gorilla tracking that delivered an experience above expectations.
The people were warm and welcoming, the food was delicious and portions more than sufficient (we always asked for less food). Uganda will always have a special place in our hearts.
We would also like to thank the agency Out of Africa for providing us with and express itinerary for our trip, and especially to our guide Arafat, that took us on this adventure of a lifetime. Do not be afraid to visit, you will be surprised by how safe and easy traveling is in the pearl of Africa.

The tour operator was communicative and transparent throughout the whole process.
We found the mid-range option we chose for the duration of our 4-day safari perfect. The accommodation, food, travel plan was comfortable and we never had to worry about a thing. The safari itself was incredible. Our guide, Alpha, was extremely knowledgeable and we had conversations not only about the animals, but Tanzanian life, culture, traditions, etc.

Excellent Service Awesome Safari Experience with Discover Africa and Susan Swanepoel
We worked with Susan Swanepoel from Discover Africa and had the superior service and support from her before and during the trip. Susan recommended the full itinerary including guided tour on Panoramic route , two great Safari lodges in Kruger National Park , and the flight to Cape Town. We booked the tour with Susan and loved it. All went smooth and was well organized. All our drivers were knowledgeable , professional and punctual. Safari was amazing and our guides were excellent. Susan even checked us in for the flight from Kruger to Cape Town and was checking with us several time through our trip, addressing questions, etc., to make sure everything goes on plan.
We would happily recommend Susan and Discover Africa to anyone who looks to plan Safari and South Africa travel. We'd definitely work with Susan again next time we plan to come to South Africa

A Wonderful Tour Experience in Kenya
Overall it was a very pleasant trip with Apodiformes Adventures in Kenya. They provided a professional service to me and the tour guide Leroy and Edward were experienced and super funny, I enjoyed and joked with them all day on my travels. They also consider me one of the most interesting Chinese tourists they have ever met.
East Africa is a magical place, I would definitely miss the people and scenery that happened here every minute.

Excellent experience with Africa Tours Adventure
We are an American couple who went on a nine-day Ugandan safari in July 2023 organized by Africa Tours Adventure.
Africa Tours Adventure is Nicholas, and Nicholas was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He responded to every inquiry immediately, was knowledgeable and accommodating, and planned a great trip for us. Our complicated itinerary, through four national parks and including three primate trekking days, was completed seamlessly thanks to Nicholas's planning and our driver/guide Moses's handling of the details as we went.
Our trip was considered, and priced, as mid-level, but at least a couple of the lodges we stayed in could fit into the "luxury" category.
Moses worked hard to make sure we saw as many animals, and different kinds of animals, as we could in the time we had and generally seemed to do what he could to make sure we had a good safari. We appreciated Moses's dedication and hard work throughout the tour.
We had a great time. The tour more than met our expectations, and we recommend Africa Tours Adventure without hesitation.

Amazing
Very good itinerary experience, saw a lot of animals. Lion, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, wildebeest. It would be better to find a better hotel experience. It is best to come in July, when there will be more animals. My guide name is Johnny, a very nice guy.

We are a family of five (kids 20-25) from Israel, and we just finished the absolute best week, and most wonderful experience we ever experienced, beyond our wildest dreams!!!
It's the simple truth.
Herman planned this week for us, after carefully listening to our wishes, needs and dreams for this week.
Herman was super responsive on email and Whatsapp, and I can now say that everything Herman promised and beyond, was achieved at the highest level possible this week.
We have been to many countries, visited many cultures around the globe, but this experience beets them all by far.
Joshua was our guide for this week, and on a scale of 1-5, Joshua gets an easy 20 mark!!! He is the best.
A super guide, perfect English, professional by all means, with endless knowledge, love to the land and animals, constantly listening and always smiling.
Joshua fulfilled all our wishes and more.
The accommodations, all of them, were perfect, even in the wilderness camps in the bush, all were VERY clean,hot water and wifi, simply authentic and beautiful.
All our meals were super great, even lunches out in the bush, on a beautiful table cloth, a cold drink and a piece of fruit and dessert.
If you are reading this, you must be thinking of doing a safari in Tanzania, well, search no more, you simply can not beat PERFECT

Wonderful Safari with Godi
We are a family of 6, with children aged 15-24, that had amazing 5 days safari with Godlosten (Godi). We booked directly with Godlisten Wonder Adventures, communicating easily on Whatsapp. Godi picked us up from Seronera airstrip and took us to see rare views of the wild in Serengeti during the great migration, the special form and colors of Ngorongoro, and the beautiful Tarangire. Godi is very knowledgeable, and communicative (in English. He also speaks German and Spanish!). He always took the time to explain what we see, and what to expect. He also took us to experience the unique lives of the Hadzabe bushmen, and the Datoga and Masai tribes. Godlisten Adventures also organized a once-in- a-lifetine trek to the top of the Kilimanjaro. The overall experience, including food and accommodation, was wonderful and we always felt confident since we could easily see how much Godi cared about us. Highly recommended!

Would 100% recommend Dark Hills Uganda
My friends and I came to Uganda to visit Murchison Falls, Jinja & do gorilla trekking. Dark Hills custom-made a tour for us, exactly how we wished it to be and within our budget. We had an amazing time. Robert is really experienced and seems to know all the corners in Uganda. Besides that, he is the best company to have and is jolly!
I highly recommend a night safari in Murchison Falls as an additional activity, where we were able to see lions from up close during their hunt for their dinner. The boat ride in Murchison was also great and got us very close to big schools of hippoes, Nile crocodiles and the massive Murchison Falls itself.
It was our dream to see the big five and we spotted all of them on the first day, so amazing!
All by all we had the best trip ever and would definitely book with Dark Hills Uganda again. Gonna miss you guys!
