Outstanding Safari Operation
Me and My wife was looking for a all inclusive honeymoon safari package and we came across Trip Quest Safaris and they are one of the finest company. There were lot of surprises organised by them which even we did not know, they upgraded to honeymoon suite in Ngorongoro which was amazing, they also organised the wine dinner for us in the bush and finally before dropping us back to Arusha they took us to a coffee plantation where you can pluck the seeds and grind it, was a unique experience which we got. A very big thanks to "Martin" who was in touch with me all the time and made this tour possible. I wish them a big success and would recommend to everyone in my family.

SCAM
NOTHING ABOUT THE CLAUDIOUS TOURS & SAFARIS WAS AS ADVERTISED. Our accommodations were substandard based on the amount of money we paid for. Our gorilla passes were for the wrong month and so we never got to go on our adventure! We were never reimbursed for our $600 dollar passes, Uganda VISA's or other expenses based on Uganda. The food was horrible. Never again with Claudious Tours.

Con Artist!!!
We booked our honeymoon vacation with African Expedia and we were so excited! We booked 8 months in advance.
Once COVID-19 started we contacted him to notify Wilson that we had to cancel due to the fact that we were not allowed to internationally travel anymore.
We tried working with him to either get a refund or post-pone the trip for another year. And then he stopped responding....
He actually robbed us of our honeymoon money!
We hired a lawyer in Tanzania to help us retrieve the funds, but the police have said they cannot locate him and the company does not exist!
Do not under any circumstances book with this company!!! I even called all the hotels to make sure he booked our trip before transferring any money to him.
I cannot believe he could do this to someone, it is actually horrible that he took our honeymoon as a opportunity to steal our money. We are devastated and during a world pandemic when everyone is already struggling.

Amazing 2 days cultural tours visiting Chaga and Masai Tribe
We had 2 amazing days making full day cultural tours with Donak Safaris.
We were with Hassan that was our driver and guide for this 2 days, he was great and we loved how puntual he was all the time for every activity.
We did a full day trekking tour around Kilimanjaro, where we visited the Chagga tribe and learned about the coffe, traditions of the tribe and the incredible caves and tunnels they used to do to escape and hide from the masais.
We did a nice trekking around the village with Emmanuel, who was our chaga guide and explained us everything about the Materuni Village and after the walk we arrived to the Materuni Waterfalls, that are the biggest around Arusha and Moshi. Was such an incredible first day and if you wanna experience Kilimanjaro for one day is the best tour to do.
Our second day with Donak Safaris was visiting Longido District and the Masai Tribe where we met Samuel, our masai guide. He took us around the Boma and explained everything about the masais and also we could walk to the masai Cave that is a holy place for them.
After the walk we had a really good hot lunch made by Donak Safaris and after that because it was Saturday we were able to visit the Masai Market in Longido where we saw the villagers making their trades and sales. Was a fantastic an really authentic experience.
For me and my husband is really important to actually get to know the people and their cultures and we loved that this was everything real, no museum or touristic shows. Just real people living real lives. If you want to have an authentic experience visiting the different tribes around Tanzania you have to do it with Donak Safaris!!
Thank you so much Beatus, Hassan, Emmanuel and Samuel for this experiences.

Honestly a Wonderful Company for Gorilla Trek!
I honest heartedly recommend East African Jungle Safaris for a Gorilla trek. Not only did they have a competitive price (the best, actually), the time with our driver/guide Samuel was a pleasure. He was prompt, helpful, well-informed, and his ready humor and great attitude really enhanced our trip. It's a long drive from Kampala to Bwindi, and thus the drive matters--Samuel was fabulous. The budget accommodations were quite nice; we enjoyed a comfortable mountainside stay at Broadbill Forest Camp, where the food was very good and the views absolutely beautiful.
I won't review the trek itself--that's led by Uganda Wildlife Authority staff, and it was wonderful and must to do a tour with this company.

"First to saw a Lions on the Tree and lot of other Animals, so much Excited"
My tour guide Frank, picked me early in the morning and reached at the main destination. After having lunch at the entrance of QENP, we started driving to head to towards game drive. Frank often stops and talks to the other guide/drivers as well to keep in touch with others. He told us that there is a family of lions on the tree. We had to turn back and picked up a Park Ranger to accompany us. After several minutes of driving we got that, and Wow!!! my first lions on the tree. Leisurely, hanging on the tree. Some of them sleeping, some of the lions wide awake, just lounging on the tree. Everything was just an amazing sight to see. There were at least 8 lions on the tree. I am so pleased to get the chance to see these amazing animals and all the animals in this park. With our guide, Park Ranger was most helpful as well.

Everything is perfect!
Sino Africa is a professional company. We requested to do hiking, and we organzied a perfect hiking day experience in Aberdare for us! We were surpised by the nature of the forest and view of the plain. Things were all great! We saw Big 5 and hotels were comfortable. We recommend them!

Exceptionally fantastic holiday in Uganda
It was such an exceptionally and fantastic tour of Uganda. I and my wife had a trip of Two weeks which was professionally organized and executed. In fact, their service was far beyond what we aspired to have. Our communication with Richard was prompt, professional and inspiring both before and during the trip. Our decision to book with Mukisa was because of the trust that we developed in Richard. His responses were always prompt, advisory and at times made suggestions that would suit our package as we desired.
On our arrival at the airport, we were warmly received by Richard who introduced Veronica and Solomon whom we spent the entire two weeks with as our guide and driver respectively. These two made our stay in Uganda very interesting and memorable. They are such good people, kind, friendly, professional and knowledgeable about all that we wished to know.
Uganda is indeed a country for anyone to spend his or her holiday and Mukisa safaris is the company to travel with. I without any second thought recommend Mukisa Safaris for anyone who wishes to visit East Africa.
