Responsive, Friendly and Conscientious Tour Operator!
Magical Gorilla Adventures was amazingly responsive from the onset of planning our trip through the end of our journey. Both Aina and Kolo were accessible at any time with any questions or clarifications that we had. Their pricing was competitive and the itinerary they assembled took into consideration our request to not only see the animals but to also get a flavor for Rwandan and Tanzanian culture (tribes, villages, arts, museums, etc).
The tour itself was great but also pretty rigorous for us (we are active seniors). Lots of riding on bumpy, dusty, rutty roads in Tanzania - for HOURS each day, either on game drives or to get from place to place. By the fourth day of that, we were kind of exhausted from it. But, that's Tanzania.... Rwanda was charming; had better roads, was incredibly clean.
Visiting with the several tribes we had on our itinerary was great, as was the gorilla trekking. We loved the initial game drives in Tanzania, but as mentioned, once we were able to view all the animals (we caught all the Big 5!), we decided to try different activities (waterfall hike, hot springs swim).

African Safari July 2024
We booked with Jastro Safaris a few months before travelling for our extended family of 9. Communication was via watsap. Always great at communicating and answered all my questions and tried to tailor the itinerary according to our needs. Prices were very competitive. We were met at the airport and taken to our accommodation. We stayed 2 nights in Nairobi, 4 nights in Masai Mara and 1 night in Lake Nakuru. Got to see all the big 5 animals close up which was amazing. Our driver Steve was really good and looked after us well. There were a few hiccups due to some of the bookings being done on incorrect dates (so recommend to double check this yourself before travelling) but this was rectified as best as possible. We had 9 of us in a tour van which was nice being all together but be wary unless you have very minimal luggage it may be better to split into 2 groups due to space. Overall a decent experience and the few issues that we did have we spoke to Jarred at the end and he took the feedback on board and tried to make things right.

Great experience
We were at Victoria Falls for 4 nights and all our tours were arranged by this company. It’s good to note that they provided us with free airport transfers because we booked more than three tours with them.
We had an amazing time visiting victoria falls from both Zimbabwe and Zambia side, doing Boma dinner, sunset cruise and Chobe national park. Excellent guides and value for money. The Chobe NP was amazing and we had a luxury lunch on the day in a hotel though they mentioned that we will be given a picnic lunch.
Only issue was their communication was poor and we had to keep messaging and asking the correct pick up times. Luckily, we had time to adjust our plans because we were there for 3 full days.

Incredible guiding in amazing places
Philimon's tracking skills and enthusiasm for showing you everything there is to see are second to none - can't ask for more than two leopards in 3 days, hyena cubs, a pride of lions on the hunt and pack of wild dogs with a kill, plus buffalo, innumerable elephant, hippo, zebra, crocs etc etc. Friendly back of house team and good food. Moremi and Khwai outstanding.

smart. kind and reliable
Good communication from the start and great availability.
The tour went as we planned. The accomodations were comfortable, despite our low budget. Every camps was really nice, as well as all the people were very very kind. I am intollerant to gluten, and every person took care of my needs, so I am deeply grateful to them.
We changed 3 drivers, and each one was good in his work, especially the last one, Boniface.
Fiona, the manager, was always available for every questions , and ready to solve any matters, and that's made us feel safe.
She reached our group halfway the tour, to make sure everything was going well.
We spent a lovely week, in the middle of the nature. We are very satisfied of our holiday and thankful to Fiona for the organization.
And the parks are really amazing!!

Good tours in Uganda
We visited the chimpanzee sanctuary on the island and the rhino sanctuary at Ziwa Park. We were very well attended by Jamal and our guide Isac, whom I recommend. However, I do not recommend visiting the rhino park if that's the only thing you have to do and you are in Kampala. It's a 3-hour drive to the location, and once there, it's only a one-hour tour, then 3 hours back by van. We would have liked to do more tours in the park area, such as bird watching and the boat tour to see the shoebill. We had arranged with the agency to do these tours in addition to the rhino visit, but when we got there, they did not allow us to do these other tours.
