Hippos and elephants - as we were on a walking Safari the other animals were quite far away

Safari in Selous and Mikumi park: FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE
pure wild life. environments almost untouched and very far from the life of us Westerners. animals, savannah, centenarian trees and a warm but tolerable climate.

Blown away by Botswana
Booked a 10 day mobile Safari from Maun to Kasane.
First night was spent in Maun before a 3 day 2 night camping trip on the Okavango Delta. Fantastic experience to be poled through the reeds. Great walking safaris enjoyed. We then had one night back in Maun before embarking on the next leg - Moremi, Kwai, Savuti and Chobe NP
We were on a private trip - just my husband and I with a guide, camp chef and camp hand. Basic facilities added to the magical experience of being one with nature. The highlight had to be sitting with the Marsh Pride of Lions in Savuti at sunset - with no other game viewers present. Other top sights were the leopards in Kwai and the herds of buffalo and elephants at Chobe.
My top tip would be to take a buff to cover your face from the dust when travelling plus loads of moisturiser and lip balm!
We were amazed at the food our Chef rustled up on the open fire and enjoyed fantastic evenings at the campfire listening to music and learning more about Botswana.
Our trip was a budget experience - no air conditioning, no en suite etc as we were in tents on camp beds with bush toilet and shower! It was very hot and in the afternoons especially all you could do was sit in the shade but it was an amazing time - one that would be difficult to beat.

Outstanding Sergengeti-Safari experience with Mussa
I experienced Mussa as an enthusiastic, engaging and thoughtful guide on a 3-day Serengeti-Safari who is fully knowledgeable about wildlife and nature. He made our game drives interesting and educational, always finding the perfect observational spots for us that resulted in many many great pictures we were able to take. He always navigated us safely through difficult driving conditions, was friendly and honest at all times, and made the best out of the conditions that were given to us (unfortunately through a different tour operator we experienced a very disappointing accommodation situation). Mussa is definitely a guide who is willing to go the extra mile for you and make your Safari-experience an unforgettable one.
Thank you very much Mussa for this great experience!

We feel the spirit of Africa close to the nature and enjoy unique experience
We went to a special 25-day safari tour across Botswana through the wilderness of the Kalahari.
Jo (the owner of the company) and Andrew did a really good job. Andrew managed the camp with all the stuff and equipment, he had always a heedful helping hand for us and surprised us every day with delicious, fresh meals, mostly prepared on open fire.
Jo brought us save through all flooded roads in the Linyanti-Region. He knows a lot about nature, plants and wildlife and gave us special experience while observe and walking close to suricate or having sundowner with a male lion, walk away from us. He explained us some constellations of the African terrific starry sky. We had a very good time with a lot of wildlife in unique landscape. A little bit away from the main tourist routes, we supported the local people and used community campsites, in beautiful areas. The good organisation (Thank's as well to Christa), Jo and Andrew and especially the small group with 7 people, made the tour to an awesome trip. We quickly became a good team and it felt like travelling with friends.

Incredible trek up Mt Meru
We went on a 4-day trek up Mt Meru with Epic Africa Adventure - amazing trip! We had a guide, cook and several porters, all were super friendly and helped us make it to the top and back down in one piece! Very well organised, hot yummy meals, great company. Would do it again for sure.

Best experience of my life! Thank you Prime Uganda Safari! :)
Africa was incredible. I spent 3 weeks in 3 countries, yet I must say Uganda was my favorite. This country offers experiences that travelers cannot get anywhere else! And there is no better way to see and experience this wonderous country than through Prime Safari Uganda Tours! From the moment I contacted them for a quote to the end of my trip when I had the opportunity to meet everyone at the office, I felt as if I found my second family! And my tour guide Denis (my adopted nephew!) was phenomenal in EVERY WAY!!! I traveled alone but I felt safe and well cared for the entire time. Denis was meticulous in handling every detail, he anticipated all my needs before I could even think to ask. His knowledge of the geography, the animals, people and culture were limitless! I have never experienced a vacation like this and I have to say it is all due to the wonderful, professional and caring people at Prime Uganda Safari and I cannot wait to go back. I highly recommend this company for ALL your safari travels in East Africa. You will not be disappointed!

Highly professional, knowledgeable, great attention to to detail and a delight to work with.
We are experienced, independent travelers who usually make our own arrangements. But for a bespoke, three-week adventure for just the two of us to some pretty remote areas of Botswana and South Africa, we knew we needed a trip manager with deep expertise. Boy did we select a great company. Our adventurist Emma Perrin and our Customer Experience Coordinator Razaan Abrahams were superb and their services went far beyond anything we could reasonably have expected. Nothing was impossible, including switching dates and reorganizing the entire itinerary halfway through the planning period, just to enable us to spend three nights at an accommodation that was on our bucket wish list. Emma just seemed to "get us" from the beginning and her suggestions on what we might want to include on our trip were brilliant. She really knows her stuff and it showed up over and over in the eventual enjoyment of our trip, which was the best one we have ever taken. This is a company with extraordinary contacts (as we learned from staff at the camps where we stayed), flawless execution and instant communication while you're on your trip. They even supply you with a mobile phone app that contains every detail of your itinerary and can be used offline, important when you're out of Internet and mobile range. We appreciated their attention to detail in planning, since everything we could possibly have wanted was taken care of prior to our arrival at each and every bush camp. At airports and air strips, we were met and transferred without confusion or delay and on the one occasion when there was a minor glitch, Emma remedied it quickly. (They are always instantly available by phone, email, WhatsApp, Skype or whatever system you're using. Very impressive) The best thing, though, was that their advice, experience and responsiveness to what we said we wanted to see and do in Africa made this trip an absolute joy from start to finish. We cannot recommend them highly enough and would definitely use Ker & Downey again.
