An overwhelming Gorilla experience that exceeded all my expectations!
I am very happy with Abantubo Safaris! Everything on the tour was included and perfectly organized. The Gorilla tracking in Bwindi was truly overwhelming. Because the rangers there are like members of the Gorilla family themselves, we were able to get as close as 2 meters to the animals. It was such an intense and beautiful experience!
The tour definitely exceeded my expectations. Our last stay directly at the lake was also very impressive, with a stunning view in the evening and morning. I am super satisfied with the service and reliability. I give 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend this tour operator!

A Guide Who Listens: My Unforgettable Safari with Ken from JungleRoam
I'd like to recommend JungleRoam and my safari guide Ken.
I am a huge lion lover and have followed many of the famous prides of the Mara. Living in East Asia, traveling to Kenya is not easy for me. It’s nearly a 24-hour journey one way and quite expensive, so every trip means a great deal to me. This was my second visit to the Masai Mara. Of course I know the Mara isn’t a zoo and you never know what you might see or what nature will offer you. Still, I couldn’t help hoping to see some of the prides I’ve grown to love from afar, and I shared that with Ken before the trip.
Ken truly listened, and he really tried his best to make those hopes come true. During our time in the Mara we found the Fig Tree pride, Olonmina with the Rongai pride, the Topi pride (with cubs!), and even the Rongai Rockers (Olonkera, Orongai, Olubi and Kidongoe). Seeing them with my own eyes was an incredible feeling. These are lions I normally only see on social media, so seeing them in person was deeply moving.
At the very beginning of the trip, I had to miss one morning game drive because I wasn’t feeling well. That morning, I saw someone post a photo of one of the Rongai Rockers, Kidongoe, with the caption “dramatic morning in the Mara” on instagram. I remember feeling a little sad and telling Ken, “I guess I missed out on that.”
A few days later, he managed to track down Kidongoe because he knew how much I wanted to see that half-tailed prince. It was our last sighting of the day. The wind was cold and the plains were quiet, and then there he was — Kidongoe walking slowly across the open Mara landscape by himself. Watching him move through the grass in the fading light felt almost surreal. It was one of those moments that reminds you why you travel so far and why the Mara is so special.
That moment meant so much to me, and it showed how much Ken truly cares about his guests. He listens carefully, remembers the small things you say, and quietly does his best to make those wishes come true.
Ken isn’t a man of many words, but he is reliable, experienced, and committed to his work. He is also a wonderful father, and that warmth shows in the way he takes care of his guests.
Thanks to JungleRoam and my agent Vincent for helping organize this unforgettable trip, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ken to anyone visiting the Mara, especially fellow big cat lovers. You couldn’t ask for a better guide.

The best in Victoria Falls!
Arthur is the best! Very attentive and truly makes everything happen. His kindness and patience made the whole process stress-free, and he paid great attention to every detail of my trip, from transfers to activities and timing.
Also a special thanks to Last – together, these guys and their amazing network created the greatest trip I’ve ever had, across both Zambia and Zimbabwe. They listened carefully to what I wanted, adjusted plans when needed, and made sure everything ran smoothly. I felt genuinely cared for the entire time and would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a trip in the region.
To note: very daily priced.
I plan to come back

Rudzani made our trip!
Our trip was fantastic thanks to Rudzani & Ben. If it wasnt for them, we would have rated 1 star. Rudzani was very talkative on the drive and told us alot of history about SA. He suggested the Panorama route which we had a blast with Ben. They were both fantastic throughout the trip. We booked last minute as we were stuck in Africa. If it wasn't for Rudzani and Ben we wouldn't have had such a great time however the original booking staff were rude and we didnt get what we paid for. As an example we paid for a private tour and was given a shared tour when we messaged they said what do you expect your flight was delayed by 3 hours and we had to wait. We also wasted so much time in the hotel with nothing to do. We have only given 5 stars due Rudzani and Ben.
