Well organized and personalized experience
Warm lunches, great tent camp accommodation, the guide made sure we spotted all possible animals. The Wi-Fi and wine were a nice extra! Great Whatsapp communication before and during. The safariguide was a bit passive and uninterested to share extra information; answered all questions but didnt take much initiative in conversation. We added the waterfall and hot springs tour as an extra day and it was a great choice. For that the guide was great and We truly recommend seeing these places! All in all, an unforgettable four days, thank you!

Dream Trip!
I own a business and every year pick 1 bucket list trip. I researched a ton and picked Wakanda. I joined a group one. The communication was superior from pre to post and during. Our guide was Andrew and our chef Abdulla. You can request them and they both stopped at NOTHING to make the trip everything our group wanted (even a smashed cell phone repair in the middle of a tour!!!). We saw the Big 5! A Hunt. Camped in the Serengeti. Great Migration. UNREAL FOOD (we saw other tours and ours was miles ahead). To me, when you spend 5 days w a group and dont want to say goodbye.....it means it was awesome! I travel the world and this was the best trip ever. I am forever grateful. And as for value.....we ALL agreed in our group we would have paid double for this trip. Insane value!!!!

Great private safari adventure
We booked a 6 day private safari for 2 people and got what we have paid for. The schedule was followed according the descriotion. Moreover we got a cool 4x4 safari jeep instead of a bus and 2 guides for the whole trip instead of just one. Thus we felt very exclusively looked after.
Communication upfront was very good. Even changes to our schedule were possible in short notice. As our flight was delayed we had to change pick up locations which was not a proplem.
Our main driver guide was Edward. He is a very experienced and knowledgeable driver guide. While others were struggeling with some tricky road conditions he always mastered them perfectly. He also brought us very closely to the animals in the parks like lions, long necks, elephants, leopards,... and made sure we see all of them.
Some hints for a great memorable adventure:
Stock up with drinks and some snacks before your board the safari vehicle.
Book a private tour if you can afford it.
If you book a budget tour don't expect a luxury tour. Having this in mind the tour definitely exceeded our expectations. All in all it was a great value for money.

An Experience We Would Rebook
Our family and friends had an amazing 5-day safari with our guide, Everest! You can tell he takes his job seriously, and that’s a plus. He cares about nature and all that it has to offer. We enjoyed talking to him and simply getting to know him as a person. I loved hearing his stories about Tanzania and its people. His knowledge of the land and animals was intriguing. Between all of our game drives, we were able to see 4/5 Big Five.
Communication with Mickey was excellent and he answered the millions of questions I asked. I liked that we were able to adjust accommodations (we upgraded our hotel in Arusha) based on our needs, and we were happy with ALL three locations.
The Kifaru Lodge and Mountain View Lodge were both top notch. The staff at both locations were friendly and professional. We loved practicing our Swahili with them. They were attentive to all our needs and went above and beyond to make our group feel comfortable. John, Merry, Samson, Forsten, Benson, and Samwel are just a few of the names from both locations. Wish I could remember them all.
I would definitely say we got “our monies worth”. The meals were never small in size, cheap, or subpar. The lodging was always great, and the professionalism provided by everyone was top tier!
Can’t wait to safari again with Savannah Explorers and Everest!

Safari Murchison Falls National Park
I had a wonderful experience with Kisa Safari. I went on a three-day trip with my friend Nina to Murchison Falls National Park. It was the best experience during my journey in Uganda. We visited Murchison Falls, did a boat trip on the Nile, a game drive and saw the Chimps. Our driver, Amos, took care of us during the trip. He was very kind and drove us safely. He had also a lot of knowledge about the wild animals, the birds and the culture. We stayed in Fort Murchison. This place had everything: good food, beautiful view, good service, friendly staff, etc. The best moment of the trip was seeing the Chimps. I can’t describe the feeling when you see a chimp so nearby. I would definitely recommend a trip with Kisa Safari. They are very trustworthy and will give you a trip you will never forget.

Beacon Safaris is accommodating, flexible, professional, and provided an incredible experience.
We did a 5-day safari, including Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli National Parks. This was our first safari, and it was everything we hoped it would be. Booking and communication with Robert beforehand were great. Robert was quick to respond and answer our questions. He was even able to accommodate a last-minute change to our itinerary, which we were very thankful for. Our guide, Ken, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He was able to answer all our questions and show us some incredible things during our trip. Roger and Ken were flexible and accommodating and helped meet our needs and requests. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. We would go again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend Beacon Safaris!

Fantastic Guide and Safari experts
The one week tour of Kampala, Murchison falls and Safari in Uganda was unforgettable. James's Exclusive uganda Safari provided extremely knowledgable guides who told us about the History and culture as well a site specific information. I would recommend them to anyone and if I were to return, I would use their service.

Incredible 9 days of Tanzania
We had wonderful 8 nights and 9 days of Tanzania wit FOA, Hamidi and his team of guides and driver was so professional and we feel safe and taken care of. Everyday was an amazing experience and we get to see and do what we planned for. The food was also amazing. We are so happy to recommend FOA to our fri6ends and family and we are also planning to return to Africa again soon.

Well organized 4 day safari trip!
Noel from Serengeti Luxury Safaris is not only a well-organised and responsive tour operator, he is also a very special person and made my experience even better. If you get the chance, enjoy a drink with him and listen to his endless stories!
Our safari guide, Josef, knows his way around parks and is incredibly knowledgeable about the species, the culture and how the two interact. He explained and showed us a lot!
The accommodations were all very different and simply fantastic. The car was comfortable and we always had drinks to hand.
However, I was on a group tour and we were a mixed group from different operators which led to extra driving time (as we stayed in different camps etc). While this can be a bit annoyig, it is also worth the money you save compared to a private tour. However, it's good to know and be prepared for some extra waiting time - if you're not prepared to do this, I would recommend booking a private tour.
