Really pleased with them
We had a very talented guide and he really made our day interesting and nice in every way. The lunch was great and so was the safari. We saw a lot of elephants and also a few lions.

EXCELLENT IN EVERYTHING
it's really very important to appreciate when someone does something good for you, and that's why iwhy i found it important to write a review about this company.
we booked a big five 3 days your as a group with bright safaris Uganda but the experience we had was beyond our expectations, to an extent our guild allowed all of us to sit up on a safari van during our game drive, the accommodation was good we stayed at heritage safari lodge with a view of a lake .
and the most memorable experience for me and my friends is the boat cruise we saw colocodile, hippos and big big Elephant, our guild meddy was such a good, humble, friendly, knowledgeable and professional enough thank you so much we shall miss you but hope to come back to another safaris with your company

Gail ensured our African experience was better than we anticipated.
We always thought Africa would be a good holiday destination but our experience was just wonderful. We went for 5 weeks to South Africa, Victoria falls and the Chobe river.
Gail understood what we wanted to see and experience in Africa, at the pace we wanted to travel and the budget we wanted to spend.
She was very good at following up on changes and suggestions. She communicated very well with us by phone and email.
What she recommended as far as hotels, Safari lodge, the tour itself and the day to day activities were mostly very good and well planned. The local companies that Gail used provided very good service.
Very happy to recommend Gail and do further travel with her.

All good with ACZsafaris for 3days
I joined their 3days Masai Mara group joining with accommodation at Jambo Mara Lodge and all was well from the first email to the drop off at the hotel in Nairobi. I saw many animals like Lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes and many more. Please note that the road to Masai Mara is abit bumpy however part of it is under construction

VERY LATE!!
We were told to arrive by 6.30 which we did but we ended up leaving 2 HOURS later!. Honestly that was not at all interesting. Waiting for two hours just because people are late.
Bonfire should have a 30minute caveat/rule.
You arrive later than 30min you forfeit your trip.
Its unfair and RUDE to keep 15 people waiting for 2hours for 1 person.
Very dissapointing. 2stars because of this bad experience.

I Lost my heart in Africa,
We went on Safari in Africa
with my Husbund And one of my friend on 15-Aprily-2019 , at the end of our trip í feel like, í lost my in heart Africa
Nurdin was the best Safari and tour guide for us. He knew all the right spots where we could see the animals and see incredible views. Throughout the trip, he talked with us, made us laugh and taught us much about the animals and different plants. He is highly knowleadgeable and his explanation about the animals, birds, big 5 , small 5 ,í ever see like him has a sharp eagle eyes to find everything. You could tell enough that he put his heart in the Wild And safari. Although the roads may be bumpy and the heat was intense, Nurdin made us feel at home and never failed to amaze us. He was also very comforting throughout the whole trip. Honestly, it was because of him our trip was the most memorable and we were able to see the Big 4 animals and two species in small 5 and all Other animals we were looking forward to find like the Male lion and the elephants.
We did a 2day 1night in Ruaha National Park
Just to say, Nurdin was the best Safari tour guide, it is my first trip in Africa but skills, passion, knowledge And experiênce of our Bush tour guide Nurdin And his driving talent was became possible who made us feel like í lost my heart in Africa and like we were his own family. He always shared with us little anecdotes and had answers to our every question. The company car of Wild gaze safaris was very comfortable and the experience / knowledge of his guide Nurdin which was make my heart losted in africa was unforgettable.

Planning a Safari? Let African Welcome Safaris Take Care Of You!
Kathi, at African Welcome Safaris, helped us plan the vacation of our dreams! She arranged everything from our custom itinerary, to transportation, to luxury accommodations. Our entire trip was amazing! From our arrival to our departure, Kathi anticipated everything we would need. The lodges, food, guides, and game drives were so much more than we expected.

No issues here
A friend and I took part in the 6 day northern circuit camping in late May 2019. Booking our trip was easy, and Orongai was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had.
Our guide, Freddie, was great too. We spent many hours with him and were never bored. He always kept us entertained with his singing and whistling and it helped the driving pass a little quicker. During the game drives, he always ensured that we got a good view of the animals and a good spot to take photos.
Our chef was DVD, and he was great as well! We never went hungry, and we always had a great selection. His antics and quirky personality were something to look forward to for every meal. We miss DVD and Freddie dearly and wished they could have accompanied us on the rest of the trip!
The tent was good quality. The foamie mattresses were alright (not great), but definitely the same quality as the rest of the tour companies. Some of the camp sites were a little disappointing (we had to wait for water to be turned on at the first one because they apparently didn't expect us to use the sinks or showers) but still better than we expected before we started the trip.
If you are thinking of a safari, you would not be mistaken to choose Orongai. The price of tour is great, and the trip itself was phenomenal. Unlike some other reviews on this site, we did not have any issues with money....what we were quoted is what we paid. Just make sure, if you are going to Ngorongoro Crater, to pack some warm layers as it gets very cold.

Very impressive company
I haven't been on my safari yet but I've been exchanging emails with Edison (owner of Bamboo Ecotours) for several months and I must say I'm very impressed with his promptness, efficiency and attentiveness. I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of the team and to spending 14 days exploring beautiful Uganda.
