Great company!
As a solo traveler I struggled to find a safari group to join. How lucky I was when I found Tanzania Safari Supremacy! Elvice was quick to answer all my questions and easy to communicate with. Though I did not end up on their safari group Elvice managed to find a group for me to join.
Everything went exactly as planned. I was so relieved when I got off the bus in Arush, after traveling 40 hours to get there, I was greeted by one of their drivers, given the run down on the Safari and taken to my hotel.
This really is a great company to book with! Very professional and honest. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Magnificent times in Tanzania
This is one of the best and managed tour companies I have used for safari tours, it was just awesome work by Manu. He was patient and so prompt as to finalize our personalized tour we had almost 100 emails between us. Our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Joseph, made the trip amazing. He has over 10 years’ experience and executed our plans really well! In addition he was accommodating and made stops and when we requested, though he was the first to spot interesting views. He is a great guide and knows all the best viewing spots in all the parks. We saw lions, elephants, hippos, buffalos, hyenas, dikdik, kudu, giraffes, cheetahs and many more. Joseph has an excellent sense of humour and a great teacher as well as we learnt quite a lot of Swahili during the trip.
I found everything straight forward from; planning, processing, payment arrangements, itinerary, pre safari information, maps. All in all the tour went on very smoothly.

GoExplore put together a fantastic 5 day trip to Uganda in a very short period of time!
I was working with a tour operator out of Kenya to plan a Uganda gorilla trek followed by a Kenya & Tanzania safari. For some reason, the Uganda portion started having issues with only a few weeks to go. Enter Brian Ahereza of GoExplore. Wow! Talk about fast acting and excellent service. Within 1 day, Brian arranged everything. The only thing that would have made my trip better is if I had added one extra day, but by this point, we couldn't squeeze it in, so Brian did the absolute best with what he had to work with.
For starters, one of the best things that could have happened did! ANd that was to have Charles assigned as our driver/guide. We flew into Kigali, Rwanda and Charles met us at the airport and took us to our hotel. The next morning we got up for the long drive to the Nkoringo area of Bwindi. A lot of this drive is on some VERY difficult dirt roads and Charles was masterful at navigating the terrain. Furthermore, I was using offline Google Maps to track our location and there is no possible way I could have gotten to where Charles was going.
We got to Nkoringo Lodge and immediately loved it. Brian had arranged for us to have one of only 2 rooms there that had on demand hot water. Our room overlooked Bwindi and we sat on the deck admiring the view. To get to the bar/dining area, we hiked up and over a ridge and the view from that side was south to the 3 volcanoes on the border of Uganda/Rwanda/Congo - absolutely beautiful!
The next day we did the trek to the Nkuringo gorilla group. It was not a difficult trek until we had to cross a fast flowing stream because the gorillas had gone to that side and as soon as we crossed, they came back! So we did too. And then we found them and it was such a wonderful experience! My wife was standing next to me and a young male (7-8 years old??) suddenly turned and started walking towards us. My wife moved to the left, but our guide said to stand still. The gorilla walked right between us and as he passed, he stuck out his arm between my legs and grasped me around the thigh!!! OMG! Even though I could feel his amazing power, I did not feel in danger. Just as quickly, he let go and continued walking!
After that amazing trek, we drove (another long day) up to Queen Elizabeth National Park and spent 2 nights at the Buffalo Safari lodge. We did a couple of games drives in which we saw lots of antelope, elephants, buffalo and 6 lions (all female, with one or two young males). We followed with a boat ride on the Kazenga channel which was fantastic. The next day, we drove to Kibale National Park to look for Chimps. We arrived at our wonderful lodge, the Chimpanzee Forest Guest House at about lunchtime and then headed to Kibale for our Chimp Trek. At lunch, we met a couple who showed us amazing pictures from their trek that very morning. Unfortunately for us, even with 7 groups in the forest, we could only find 2 chimp sand they were up in the trees. That happens in nature, but the real lesson is to take the morning trek!!!
The next day, Charles drove us to Entebbe and our Uganda trip was over. One of my friends asked me about the birds in Uganda. My wife loves birds and by extension, I have come to love them as well. SHe asked Charles, our guide, about every single bird we saw. Charles had a very well worn copy of "Birds of East Africa". He didn't need that book because he had it memorized. Charles was a fantastic driver/guide/person! He made our trip incredibly special!
I can't thank Brian, Charles and GoExplore enough for making this so special!!!

We rent cars at Shoebill Safaries to reach different places in Uganda.
We are running a little project with school fees. Every two years we visit Uganda to meet our beneficiaries, look around the schools, discuss with the teachers, and meet our partner.
To reach all these places and to be independent from the puplic transport system with all its problems we need strong and reliable cars. We found such cars at Shoebill Safaris. We haven´t had any trouble during this time in Uganda, neither in the City of Kampala nor at any other place.
We are looking forward to contact Shoebill Safaris again, whenever we return to Uganda.

Great Adventure Tour in Tanzania
We had such a wonderful adventure on the Safari tour to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. The trip was well planned and everything went on smoothly, our guide & driver Novatus made sure everyone was comfortable in the safari vehicle as some of the drives are long and the roads bumpy. Novatus is a fantastic guide, very super knowledgeable about nature, local communities, wildlife, politics and a friendly person. He was always punctual waiting for us in the morning and even made sure that we did not miss our flight back home. The parks are swarming with different wild animals, birds, insects, trees. Some of the places that we visited are very beautiful and like the Ngorongoro viewpoint just takes your breath away. Novaus gave us a tour the local towns and villages which showed us how the people in Tanzania live. Most remarkable was a the Hadzabe tribesmen in Lake Eyasi. The safari vehicle was spacious and safe as some of the animals come very close and you feel they are next to you. We had great adventure as he drove from one location to the next location experiencing different luxury camps like a mobile hotels with full bedroom and private bathroom.
It was a great holiday and We highly recommend Regional Tours.
