Materuni Waterfall & Coffee Tour
The entire day trip was incredible! I was looking forward to seeing the waterfall, but not being a coffee drinker, wasn’t too keen on the coffee tour. I couldn’t have been more wrong! Participating in the coffee process from harvest to a finished cup of coffee was both fascinating and interesting. I’m amazed at the many steps that go into it. I was a bit dismayed by the selling pitch at the conclusion of the coffee tour, mostly because I felt obligated to buy at least one bag. Then another man showed me art made by the community with the plea to support the artists. Let’s just say it didn’t sit well.
The walk to the waterfall was lovely and so very well worth it!!
The drive was in a comfortable vehicle, the box lunch was plentiful and delicious, and my guide Issa was incredibly helpful, kind, and patient. He made the trip an unforgettable experience! Asante sana
Excellent
Everything was perfect and your standards are the best and recommendable..

Trekking in the lush grasslands along The Nile River.
I spent two days in Murchison Falls National Park, throughout 7 day tour booked with Ngoni Safaris Uganda. The reserve is beautiful and filled with an abundance of wildlife, many types of Antelope, Cape Buffalo, Elephants, Giraffes, Hippopotamus, Lions and scores of exotic colourful birds. I was fortunate enough to see a Lion resting in a tree and that was one of my expectation while touring. Normally Lion do not sleep in trees.
The Nile River and the falls are outstanding with a beautiful scenery, and I highly recommend to have a trip with this river. There you will get an opportunity to see water is life with all types of wildlife making its way to the banks of the Nile to quench their thirst.

A day for GORILLA TREKKING- In Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
We visited the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest during the tour package with Ngoni Safaris, staying at Mahogany Springs, five minutes from the park entrance. Sedrick at Ngoni Safaris organised our trip, which was to make special and celebrate my birthday and truly, what an amazing experience it was! The trip they made ran like clockwork and Sedrick was always quick to answer any queries, regarding the trip. Also, the staff at lodge, were the best. They looked after us so well and were always friendly and helpful. On the last night of tour, they sang a very special and African, happy birthday to me. The Gorilla Trekking was well organised with the help of wonderful park rangers. Of course, that was last but not least, the gorillas were breath taking. Our family group had no less than 5 babies. It doesn't get any better than that for me.
My advice to every other traveller planning to UGANDA, If you want to see Mountain gorillas, just make a contact to Sedrick at Ngoni Safais, go to The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, you will not be disappointed!

Great one Day trips
We booked 2 trips with Taste Of Afrika Safaris. Materuni Waterfall & Hotsprings Kikuletwa. It was great - comunication with Seka (We had problem with swift transation, Seka was very understanding, regarding this problem).
Our guide Moses- was fantastic, we shared a lot of stories not only about trips, but also regarding Life, culture and Tanzania. Very Professional, and easy going guy.
We had also Emmanuel as our guide in Materuni- his knowledge about The place was great. We visited his village for a coffee tour, we were only 2 people there, and still have a pleasure to meet several people from The village singing for us and making coffee together.
Also worth to notice- The best prices!

Everything went perfect, encounter with chimps and gorillas WOW
Uzuri Safaris are an excellent tour company to deal with. Right from the get go, our communications with Fiona were easy and quick. It did not matter what time, Fiona was able to reply to our many questions, requests for changes in the program in no time. She had no problems modifying our tour to suit our needs better. Once we arrived in Uganda, our guide Ronnie was excellent. Right from the pick-up at the airport all through the trip to the end, Ronnie was able to meet all of our expectations and indeed exceeded them. He would stop anytime we asked to take pictures and also when he saw things that he thought we would be interested in. Things that were interesting to us and that we would have missed without him. Our first stop on this epic trip was Kibale Forest National Park – the home of the chimpanzees.
The sounds the chimpanzees make even before seeing them is super exciting and it still rings in my ears every time I remember the trip on look at our pictures from the trip. Having trekked for about an hour on largely flat terrain to find the chimpanzees, we came across this large troop with some of the members up in the trees while a few others were on the ground. One female with a baby came very close to where we were standing and it was just wow! It literally gave us a good opportunity to take as many pictures! The chimps up in the trees did not mind us as they
went about their day – enjoying some kind of fruit. The swamp/community walk in the afternoon is also a must if you are not too tired.

Duma is absolutely fabulous!
As the main planner for a family group of 6, I looked at dozens (out of the more than 1000) safari operators in Tanzania. I was more than a bit nervous about ensuring that each of us had a wonderful experience. Duma nailed it--there is good reason why all of the reviews of Duma rate it a 5.
The combination of a locally owned/operated company in Arusha plus Stacy in the US to make planning easier is a plus. Add to that Stacy's patience (sure to ensure that your custom safari is just right), the seasoned, expert camp staff (all of whom are attentive, lovely to be around, and seemed so happy in their work!), and the luxurious tent camps.
We ran into flooding/muddy roads and while we enjoyed drinks and dinner and campfire, our guide Isack and the team at the Arusha office seamlessly moved us from our planned camp (flooded beyond reach) to a new campsite. We were totally spared any angst that might have marred our stay.
Even after 10 days in Tarangire, Ndutu/Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater pus a final night near Mt Killi base camp to see us off from Africa, we were definitely NOT ready to leave! Do stay as long as you are able.
We selected Isack as our guide because of the rave reviews he has received and we totally agree. An expert naturalist (knowledgeable not only about big and small animals, but also the birds, the vegetation, the geology and how the terrain is changing), he was by far the best tracker around and an excellent driver/mechanic (see: flood and mud above).
Duma will provide the experience that you want, at a reasonable price, and with the assurance that everything will will be done right. Even when nature interferes with your plans.
