An Experience for Lifetime....
It was an amazing experience with Lenchada Safaris. .
Since the first e-mail to drop off at hotel at the end of the tour everything was perfect .
On the way from Masai Mara to Nakuru we were taken to Lake Naivasa for a boat ride that was not included in our itineraries...so relaxing and enjoyable.
Tents and hotel was just as it was mentioned and simply perfect. Staff members of the tents were nice and cordial. Foods were fresh and good. Water bottles were adequate for all.
Isaac our guide...an experienced driver ,a guide with huge knowledge, such a nice human beings.
He take concerns of everything.

They were very caring and provided a personalized approach which was appreciated.
The personalized communication between us and Experience Uganda staff was exceptional. The tour driver/guide was caring and knowledgeable. The safari exceeded our expectations. The scenery, accommodation provided and our interaction with the staff at lodges, the local communities as well as our tour leader were outstanding.
We were able to see and interact with both gorillas and chimpanzees as well as experiencing true tropical rain forests. The bird life was also extensive and easily viewed.
In all - a wonderful experience.

Walking Stick are the Best!
Walking Stick a wonderful locally run company and Philmon and the team were fantastic, made my experience very special. Saw every animal you could wish for and with someone who really loves the bush which was a bit infectious! Every effort was made to make my trip wonderful, you will not be disappointed! No-one else had booked on the dates I was going so I ended up on a private safari which was amazing and unbelievably incredible value. Don't pay a bunch of money to stay in a foreign owned hotel, go for something authentic!

Magic experience with our Guide and all the staff of the hotel ! I recommend Speke Uganda Holidays !
Our guide from Speke uganda Holidays was very nice, smiling and professional .
The Birdnest Resort hotel at Lake Bunyonyi was beautiful with a fantastic view and a very nice and caring staff. Everything was perfect.
I really appreciated the human experience and the beauty of the landscapes.
And above all I will never forget the Gorilla Trekking experience...

A unique encounter of wildlife and local culture
Phillimon was great with replying to emails quickly during the booking phase (the only delays were when he was driving a safari himself for a few days at a time). Using a money order as a form of payment seemed unusual but everything worked out fine. The car and crew picked us up at the airport and drove us back there with plenty of time, even if it meant that the crew had to wake up extra early to pack before a long drive back. The game drives were extensive and varied, and Phillimon was always going the extra mile to check spots where rare animals may be. And that's how we say 3 leopards (probably 2 different ones but one that we saw twice) in 4 days. Phillimon is a good tracker and is able to read the behavior of several animals as indicators of where the big cats are, while explaining to us what he is doing and his understanding of animal behavior. The tent accommodation was our best experience so far, with real beds, and en-suite toilet and shower in a fenced, private space, all that while camping 60 miles from the paved road: Real luxury while remaining simple. The food prepared by the cook was excellent and very hygienic. Breakfast, tea time and dinner were shared with the guide, which was the occasion for conversations about the local traditions, the use of plants, the Bushmen culture (the natives of this area who were traditionally hunter gatherers and have a profound knowledge of their environment), etc. A very unique experience, I totally recommend it!

Efficient
Went smoothly. Ati was good . Lodges were nice. A side note.....Nabibia is mostly gravel roads. We spent 4 to 5 hours a day driving on gravel roads in total desolation!

Amazing Safari with Orongai!
Everything was perfect, Martha answered very quickly to all our questions before the Safari. Once there everyone very helpful and nice. Our guide Frank was one of the best points, he knows a lot about animals and bush in general, so it was great. When we come back we will repeat the experience with Orongai.

Awesome Experience With Great Guides
The communications we received about planning for the safari were very helpful. The guides were very knowledgeable and fun to be with. We went to three different parks and saw almost everything up close in various settings. The vehicle was comfortable and the box lunches were excellent. This was an experience we will never forget.

Amazing Amazing and successful safari in Uganda
We zeroed on Uganda specifically for the gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest because seeing these amazing relatives in their native environment, so close up is indescribable! At Lake Mburo, cantering through the bush with impala and zebra on the horseback riding safari in lake Mburo national park was very  exhilarating! I also included a couple days in other national parks like Murchison falls,Kibale national park and kidepo valley national park. Excellent lodges with nice food and helpful employees.Our driver/guide (Peter) whi accompanied us the entire trip from gorillas,chimpanzee.wildlife,nature and cruising on the nile. He was amazing - very knowledgeable and entertaining. Gecko safaris will always be on our minds.

The best way to visit Rwanda & Uganda!
My wife and I spent 2.5 weeks in Rwanda and Uganda with Instinct Safaris and we absolutely loved it. Rabani and Emma worked tirelessly to ensure that we had the best trip possible! They were very familiar with all the parks, and were excellent guides & hosts for our time there. If/when we go back to that part of the world, you can be sure it will be with them.
