Patrick is a wonder guide - one of life's gentlemen
I have to admit we've been unable to travel to Kenya for some years now but Patrick was our guide on each of our three visits. He's a wonderful guide, careful driver and a good companion - as I said, one of life's gentlemen.
I would unhesitatingly recommend any tour company with which he is associated. Miss you, Patrick!

Spectacular sunrises over Rwenzori Mountains
I identified Kisoro tours and Dan through TripAdvisor and contacted him via email. I told him what I wanted to do and we set up a 4 day tour that fit into my limited schedule. Dan picked me up at my hotel in Kampala and we headed out for a 4 day road trip to Queen Elizabeth Park. The journey through the cities, villages and country side was fascinating and colorful. The weather was lovely and I enjoyed seeing Ankole cattle along the way and a lot of dairy cattle and goats grazing along the road. The sunrises over the Rwenzori mountains were so amazing. I took some of the most dramatic photographs of the candelabra trees outlined by the rising sun. Dan was a skilled drive and a well informed tour guide. I would use Kisoro tours again when I next return to Uganda.

The Experience of Life
The 7-day safari tour that I had with BigTime Safaris LTD was by far the greatest experience of my life. I visited 3 days Maasai Mara, 1 day Lake Naivasha and Equator Line, 1 day Lake Nakuru and 2 days Amboseli. In all those places I had quite amazing adventures and captured those unforgettable moments with my photographic gears easily, because our driver and guide tried his best in order to approach at the closest the animals. I recommend everyone to arrange a safari tour with BigTime Safaris LTD, not only because it gives great service but also it is very much budget friendly.

Holiday of a life time
Holiday of a life time!
2 things that made this holiday great:
The actual experience itself, so the places we visited, the hotels we stayed in, the people we met and the things we saw.
The second and what I would say the most important is the service received from Ubon safari. From before we booked, where they took the time to really understand us as people & what we liked so they could tailor make the experience for us.
Their knowledge was outstanding, they knew all the hotels, locations, tours, safari’s, people, extra’s and was able to again recommend exactly what to do, where to go, who to see, where to stay based on us as individuals, what would suit us, and they married the two up perfectly.
The holiday they put together for us, the hotel choices, the different experiences and the packages was amazing, you didn’t worry about anything, everything down to the finest detail was thought of and catered for. They had the best of everything and access to the best hotels, people, guides, experiences…..everything!
Ubon really cared about us, they followed our trip and made sure we were safe, comfortable and happy throughout the whole holiday and we were treated like kings and queens from the moment we contacted them to after we got back!
I have been around the world and I can honestly say this was the most “out of this world” trip I have ever experienced.
We had so many highlights, each day was truly amazing. Our biggest highlights were:
- The animals…wow! We had the best guide, he knew the park so well, so knowledgeable, he really cared about us having the best time and enabled to get very close to the animals and see things I could never have dreamed of seeing.
- The balloon ride over the Serengeti – unforgettable! What an experience, took your breath away.
- Bush Dinner – Incredible, being so close to nature in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
- Staying in the clouds at the crater….a little fresh, but breath-taking.
- And then pure luxury on the island of Zanzibar, in a stunning villa surrounded with panoramic views.
My only concern is how we are ever going to match this!

Excellent trip and terrific memories - John (our guide) was great!
I travel the world for business...and through those travels, I heard over and over how the Serengeti was a must trip and simply magical. I spent the better part of two years thinking of and ultimately planning this trip. I primarily selected Bright African Safaris because of their terrific reviews on Tripadvisor. However, I also wanted to work directly with a company that was local and not have our money go to/through an agency...where it wouldnt ultimately go to the local economy. With BAS's help, we came up with a two week, customized trip.
Our guide, John Munhambo was simply superb!! First off, he was Safe! That was extremely important to me...since my entire family was in his hand. Second, he was exceptionally respectful...of the rules of the park(s), the animals, and other guides/tours. He made sure he got us into position to get a good photo but not at the expense of other visitors. I can tell you, other guides/companies were not the same! Lastly, he completely engaged with me and my family for the two week trip. He started off our guide and honestly, ended a friend!
The locations we/BAS selected were terrific. We had lions visit our camp at night on three of the nights. While a bit unnerving at the time, it was also pretty cool (after the fact!).
BAS was great at all phases of the trip. Preparation, quoting, organizing, executing, etc. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering visiting the Serengeti. While the arent the biggest in the region, they cant be beat.

Amazing!
It was in Christmas Eve when we started to think about the new year’s resolution. What to do? What to improve? What to avoid? When suddenly Jordi came with a very good idea…
What about living one of the best experiences of our life? I was curious… what .. what? What is your next year’s resolution.
Then he told me. We are going to see Gorillas and Chimpanzees in Uganda. We must start looking for the best Safari Company in Uganda to help us to prepare our Safari there and to give us the opportunity to be with our very close ancestors.
I started then looking for references in Google trying to see which the best safari company in Uganda was. I suddenly came across Prime Safaris & Tours. From the very beginning I felt the best company to travel with.
During the preparation of the trip, we received the worse possible announcement: all permits for Gorillas are already booked, so it is not possible to have permits for your selected day. We were really sad, then I said to the responsible of Prime Safaris; Cate, Gorillas are the highlight of our trip, we can not go to Uganda and don’t track Gorillas. Cate started working and working, trying different combinations, different countries until she got our permits. It was fantastic.
Yes, if you are thinking in doing a Safari in Uganda, don’t hesitate and contact them.
1. Because they are very kind people, they give you all the support you need during the preparation of your trip.
2. Because they have the best guides. Ours, Joseph, was an excellent guide, a better driver and the best person.
3. Because they care about their country, they support orphans and schools with their earnings.
For these 3 reasons, if you want to have an unforgettable experience in Uganda, let Prime Safaris to lead it.

Perfect ! From the start to end, the execution was impeccable.Great driver&guide, back-office, staff
The safari was perfect. We got to see the Big 5 and more. Solomon, our driver&guide was really experienced and moved in the Mara plains like an old hand.
Great from beginning to end
Everything was perfect - booking, 5 day safari, catering, lodgings - and of course all the wildlife. You can book with Wild Wings with confidence that your trip of a lifetime will be well planned and organised and managed by professional safari guides (in our case Simon and Jacques).
Thank you - Family of 4 with older teenagers.
