It was what I expected and most communication was done on WhatsApp
I think the emotive is really reasonable and was so grateful for the upgrade in the accommodation for one night. Managed to see many animals and had not much issue through out the trip but just late reply and uncertainty with pick up.

Very good safari
Overall, a very good experience with this safari company.
The program was well designed, the landscapes were stunning, and our guide was very good, knowledgeable, professional, which really made the trip special.
That said, I would have appreciated more transparency on certain aspects, especially regarding the booking of internal flights. The flights were booked without consulting us, which resulted in a wasted day. We could have taken a later flight (at a similar price) and enjoyed more time in Zanzibar instead.
The Maasai village visit also felt very touristy. We felt quite pressured to stay, and when they suggested adding an extra hour of driving to visit the Safariland tourist shop, we had to insist and say no.
Despite these points, the experience was still very positive and I do recommend this company. My advice: don’t hesitate to clearly state your expectations and insist on getting what you want.

Good except tent
Almost all were good, but there were lots of mosquitoes in my tent.

good value, solid option for solo or small group travelers looking for a social safari experience
I had a good overall experience with Sacred Wilderness Expedition company in Tanzania and would recommend them, especially for travelers who don’t want to pay for a fully private safari.
Communication before and during the trip was smooth and straightforward, mainly via WhatsApp, which made planning very easy. They offered a lot of flexibility when it came to trip duration, routes, parks to visit, and accommodation options across different price ranges. They also helped arrange transport directly from the airport to the start of the safari, which was very convenient.
The safari jeeps themselves were okay—functional but not top-tier, as I’ve seen better elsewhere. That said, the guides were solid: good drivers, experienced at finding good animal-viewing spots, and very patient when answering questions. They clearly knew the parks well and made an effort to ensure everyone had good sightings.
Food was quite decent considering it was cooked at the campsite, and overall well prepared. However, there could have been more protein—there wasn’t really enough meat for the size of the group.
One thing to be aware of is that this is a shared, non-private safari. Groups are international, which is actually a big plus and made the experience more fun—you get to meet people from many different countries. However, because of different route options, groups can be mixed along the way. You may not stay in the same jeep or with the same people for the entire trip, and accommodations may vary as well. If it’s important to you to stay in one vehicle the whole time, make sure to clearly specify your group size and preferences in advance.
Overall, this company offers good value for money and is a solid option for solo or small group travelers looking for a social safari experience without the cost of a private tour.

An unforgettable, immersive journey through Uganda
Our experience with Safari Vacations Tour Agency was great from start to finish. This was not just a safari… it was a holistic, deeply immersive journey into Uganda’s landscapes, wildlife, and communities.
The wildlife and scenery were absolutely next level. From crazy beautiful landscapes to jaw-dropping animal encounters, every day delivered moments that felt unreal. Beyond nature, what truly elevated the experience was the human side: everywhere we went, people were genuinely warm, welcoming, and proud to share their country with us. You really feel connected to Uganda, not just passing through it.
A massive highlight was our guide, Smith. His positive energy, deep local knowledge, and passion for Uganda set the tone for the entire trip. He consistently went above and beyond to show us the best of his country and make every moment meaningful. If you’re booking with this agency, I highly recommend asking for Smith—he’s a real asset and makes the experience exceptional.
If there’s one area for improvement, it would be planning a bit more activity density on certain days. We’re very energetic travelers and had a few days with extra free time where we would have happily added more experiences. This is something that could easily be anticipated and fine-tuned before the trip.
Overall, an incredible experience that exceeded expectations. We’re already looking back at photos from the journey and reliving the highlights. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic, high-impact way to experience Uganda.
