I was traveling alone and Mukisa Safaris took good care of me.
I was impressed that Mukisa Safaris hires female guides (I didn't see any others). She was very knowledgeable -- especially about the birds. I also had a separate driver which was nice so he could concentrate on the roads and not worry about reservations, where to eat lunch, etc. The vehicle was well maintained and had a pop-up top allowing me to stand during game drives. There was great variety in the lodges - each had something to recommend it -- a stunning view of the plains, a nice lakeside setting, or my favorite, The Bush Lodge, which required an escort to go out after dark because of roaming elephants and hippos.

Best Safari Experience Ever!
This Safari trip was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Every aspect of it went flawlessly and every minute detail was handled by our amazing trip planner Mwanje. From the travel, to the hotels to the safari guides everything was just perfect. Image Travel customized our trip and had it made and catered specifically to what we were looking for. They were patient with our billions of questions and made us feel welcome and cared for. If I had to do it again I would do it exactly the same way. Ask for Mwanje!

Amazing Safari Adventure in Uganda
The trip was very very wonderful, I enjoyed every moment of the 10-days-Mountain Gorillas, Chimpanzees & Wildlife of Uganda Safari.
Everything was very good organized, Vincent was available for any question before my journey to Uganda and replied very quickly.
Frank was my driver and guide in Uganda and he was a very good guide with such a huge knowledge about the animals and we spotted all the amazing animals.
I highly recommend Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda for everyone who wants to experience the beautiful nature and culture of this country.

Really excellent Safari Operator
We were on a private 2 nights and 3 days safari at Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara National Parks with Professional Safari Africa. And our tour was just simply amazing. Our tourguide (Anthony) was superinformative, really friendly, and extremely professional. Everything went as we agreed. The accomodation (Farm of Dreams Lodge) was extremely beautiful, comfortable and the staff were really friendly. We have allergy to gluten and were a bit afraid but both the Safari Operator and the Lodge take extreme care. It was 100 % worth its price. We would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Memorable Safari experience in my life
This was a major vacation to plan and Wandera from Spirit of Uganda made it easy. He was so patient with our requests and planned the perfect safari trip down to each minute detail. Everything from the time we were picked up in Kampala went off without a hitch. I really learnt alot of wonderful information about Queen Elizabeth. A great driver (can't recall his name) was so experienced. We had some unusually heavy nighttime rains which caused muddy and very hard to navigate roads. The driver always got us through them and kept us safe. He was so intuitive finding the animals and we saw everything. Also very informative and gave and taught us such valuable information!! All of our accomodations were lovely and we enjoyed them all for various reasons. Tiago was good at giving us a variety of places to stay! Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations were great. We had a great birthday party at our first camp to celebrate my friend's birthday that will probably be her most memorable birthday ever. Everything about this trip was perfection!

The Most Amazing Adventure
This trip to Tanzania was my top bucket list thing to do. Safari has always been my dream vacation.
Pendo was awesome to deal with from the start of my planning this vacation. She responded quickly to any questions I had. She made changes when I requested them. She gave us an amazing 2 week itinerary! We started with 2 nights in Arusha doing a city tour. Followed by an amazing 6 day safari, ending with 6 days in Zanzibar.
Our guide for the city tour and safari was Goodluck. And we will all tell you he was definitely Good luck for us. We had the most amazing experiences with the animals. We saw the Big 5 and the migration. Day one in Taranagire had us surrounded by elephants. Goodluck found us a tree with 6 lions in it, with another 2 on the ground.
We got stuck one morning after a night of heavy rainfall. Numerous other guides stopped to get us out. Goodluck returned the favour and helped out others that also got stuck that day. We arrived at one of our tented camps one evening and noticed some empty tables. We questioned where the guests were. Good Luck enquired and found out that two safari vehicles were stuck in mud on there way to the accommodations. He and another guide went out in the darkness of the night to bring these guests in. He is a very caring person. He even stops to help out the dung Beatles trying to cross the road
I highly recommend anyone wanting to book a safari to contact Pendo to organize it, and request Goodluck for your guide!

Always reliable
Tanzania is always great and I was happy to reconnect with my old friend and host Amos this time going for the ultimate prize - Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route.
Amos and his team did not disappoint, he arranged for perfect guides: Epa and Joseph who took the best care of us.
Getting to the summit of Kilimanjaro was much harder than we expected and I believe the crew of guides and porters made all the difference between success and failure.
Nothing can replace the presence of an experienced guide at your side, whose duty is to keep you going, safe, nourished, healthy and also much more than just a friend.
I know that the level of involvement during the planning phase and actual is huge because nothing took us by chance.
Thank you Amos and the whole Migration Ventures team!
