Amazing
We just came back from our Safari in Tanzania (Lake Manyara - Serengeti - Ngorongoro).This company is really recommended by us because of the very high quality of service they provide. Our guide, Maulid, was exceptionally great - he can spot any hidden animal miles away while driving. He takes incredibly good pictures, he's an excellent driver, and he's very experienced. He knows everything about animals, history, african culture... on top of this, he really enjoys his job and does it with great enthusiasm, making you feel he's not just a guide driving you around but a true friend enjoying his time with you. We will book a safari again with Hekima Safaris, and we recommend you to do the same!

Great safari experience: Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo West, Tsavo East.
Pre-travel assistance very kind and timely by the owner Simon M., on all our requests.
The overall safari schedule was full and well respected for the main attractions. Budget accommodations and camps carefully chosen with Simon and aligned to our expectations. Surprise upgrade on the last lodge very much appreciated!
As a possible point of improvement we'd suggest a better accuracy in the written details of the daily plan and documents provided, as some typos and copy-paste from other schedules were misleading for us in terms of lenght of the transfer travels between the different locations, some activities/stops described along the itinerary were just not possible to fit the schedule in terms of time, so it is advisable not to even mention them.
For the time schedule we therefore trusted completely in our guide Simon K. who is extremely professional and knowledgeable on animals and routes. He is also a very good driver and thanks to his experience and knowledge we were able to spot so many animals, several lions and a leopard on a tree in Nakuru. Thank you Simon & Simon for the unforgettable experience!

The journey of life
As we stated in the title. This was the best trip of our lives so far. Darren and all the co-workers were fantastic. Every wish of ours was fulfilled and organized and carried out down to the smallest detail. Darren's every suggestion if we weren't sure what to choose from excursions or other events was a hit. During our trip, we visited many places and countries: Doha, Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa, Mauritius, and in each country we were greeted by a fantastic guide who went through the entire itinerary with us. The accommodation units were excellent, the entire staff and the food. Everything was really perfect. I wholeheartedly recommend cooperation with Daren and his associates and we will definitely continue to travel with their organization.

Great experience! Absolutely recommended!
We chose a 10 days private tour including Ziwa Rhino sanctuary, Machinson Falls NP, Kibale NP (Chimps tracking), Queen Elizabeth NP, Bwindi Impenetrable (Gorilla tracking), Lake Bunyoni and Lake Mburo NP. The proposed program was well balanced for our expectations: a lot of activities and some relaxing moments just to recover our energy. Moreover, compared with proposals received by other tour operators, the Buyaga Safaris proposal included more activities and the Chimps tracking in Kibale (the most expensive with the highest chance to see the Chimps up close) at a similar price. We considered this as a good value for our money.
In the preparation phase we easily communicated with Peter (the owner of the company) which proposed us several accommodation solutions (August is very busy and not all the lodges were available).
We were accompanied on the journey by Peter and he’s a very special guide. During the traveling between a stage and the following one (the trips could be quite long), he gave us a lot of interesting information about Uganda, the traditions and food (we asked him to try local food and we did it!). Talk to Peter is very easy and enjoyable. Despite some long journeys, the time was pleasantly spent thanks to Peter's company and the comfort of the van.
The lodges we stayed in were of good standard (a couple of them were great!).
All the activities organized by Peter were fine. Each of them added something new to our travel. Peter also spent himself to maximize the chances to see the animals, changing, if necessary, the scheduling of the activities depending on the weather. In Kibale forest he also rearranged the activities in order to do Chimps tracking in the afternoon instead of the morning avoiding the crowds. It was great! We saw many Chimps very close and with an acceptable number of visitors!
Finally, we absolutely recommend to travel with Buyaga Safaris!

Perfectly organized and guided tour of the highligts of Uganda
We are just finishing up one of the best vacations of our life. Together with our guide Ronnie, we have toured Uganda for the last week and bring home with us unforgettable experiences of close encounters with chimps, lions, leopard, rhino,elephants, gorillas and countless other species. The tour has been perfectly organized, nothing has gone wrong and our driver and guide Ronnie has been always helpful and knowledgeable, patiently answering our many questions. We are in love with this magnificent country and warmly recommend you to let Uzuri organize your trip.

Would recommend without hesitation.
Fantastic first safari experience to Zambia.
Extremely happy with Rose's recommendations of both Sungani and Sausage Tree.
Wonderful game drives, canoe and walking safaris, top-notch accommodation and great food.
The Luxury Safari Company were invaluable when VA messed up our flights, finding alternatives so that we didn't miss any time in camp.
