High quality guides, knowledgeable, professional and friendly
Very thorough. George responded to every enquiries I had in a timely manner. Ismal (out guide for Kilimanjaro) is very well educated and professional. He organised the team well while ensured the service provided to us is thorough and professional. We also enjoyed out safari tour very much and really excited to see the animals in actions. If there is future opportunities, would definitely return to Tanzania again :-)

Ben is the Best
Ben Ejadu of Homestead Safaris is a gem.
A background as a ranger gave him intimate knowledge of all the parks in Uganda (and beyond) and knowledge of the absolute best guides to connect you with; his passion as a guide shows through his careful planning and his willingness to meet the needs of his clients rather than getting his clients to follow his needs; and his love for Uganda is infectious. And I totally believe he knows nearly everyone in Uganda.... AND he’s a benefit to community members - he gives back a portion of his fees for projects like clean water so women and children don’t have to spend all day collecting water - and the girls can go to school.
I know I’m not alone in my opinion because I booked him based on a well-travelled friend’s experience.
Ben is able to work within your budget, I wanted midrange. (We’d done high-end Safari, loved it but felt very coddled and separated from reality.) We stayed at a former tea plantation where water was heated by logs, a community-benefiting hotel with views over the Rift Valley, a hotel on a lake with the most amazing bird life imaginable. (And Ben can identify them all.)
And I think we were the only people who had a guide that made arrangements with hotels for post gorilla/chimpanzee trekking showers!
We ate at the top restaurant in Queen Victoria Park and at neighborhood joints. I ate goat for the first time and loved it.
Sounds trite, but it all was very real. Yet clean and safe.
I was happy to let Ben do the planning, but if you have requirements like no steps or a constant WiFi stream, just let him know.
I know he’ll take good care of you.

An amazing safari experience!
My friend and I went on a 4-day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro where we experienced four amazing unforgettable days. Our always smiling guide Malisa was the funniest and he could answer all our detailed questions about the parks and the animals. He was enthusiastic, patient, caring and tried to fulfil all of our ‘animal requests’, resulting in spotting the complete big 5. He always found nice places for having lunch whereby avoiding the crowds. Moreover Malisa helped us with taking the best pictures and learned us taking beautiful close-up pictures by using binoculars and a phone.
The food Dula made was beyond expectations. Every night he prepared a three course dinner, starting with soup and homemade bread, followed by several other delicious vegetarian dishes and a nice dessert. On request he made delicious ugali with vegetables. Breakfast and lunch were also very varied and extensive including a lot of nice fruits.
The first night we stayed in a nice lodge with a swimming pool. The other two nights we slept in tents on campsites directly between the animals. The tent can be somewhat small for tall persons when lying stretched out. Don’t forget to bring a warm jacket since it can be quite chilly during the early morning drives and at the Ngorongoro campsite.
I look back on a fantastic safari! Although we went on a budget safari, it felt like a luxury all-inclusive holiday that I would highly recommend to everyone.
Asante sana!

Incredible experience in a short time frame
My experience with Rumara Safaris was fantastic. They were very communicative and were willing to drive to our hotel for us to pay to reserve our tour while we were in the middle of a workshop. Our driver/guide went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience possible and were able to see more animals then we ever expected! My colleague and I only had 48 hours between workshops we were running in Entebbe, and Rumara Safaris were able to squeeze the most they could into our short time frame. Highly recommend!

An Amazing Adventure
My partner and I had such a wonderful tour with Peter's company. We weren't accompanied by Peter himself but he remained in contact with us throughout the safari. We had a wonderful guide who gave us the best experience in Masai Mara that we could have ever hopped for. We saw the big 5 in one day and we felt so lucky to have been part of this experience. I fell ill the third day of our tour and could not continue the next day to Lake Nakuru Safari but Peter accommodated us so we could join another group to finish the tour once I felt better. It was honestly the best experience and will be a forever highlight in our lives. Thankyou peter for helping us create such great memories.

ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME
We were able to book our trek from home with Mboni Adventures yet I have never been to Tanzania owing to the fantastic communication with Jackson the director.
We met Jackson waiting for us upon our arrival in Tanzania He drove us to our hotel where he introduced us to our climbing guides, led in the briefing and then helped us get some few items from their leasing shop at a fair price. The following morning we met with the rest of the crew at Marangu gate. The trek to the summit was challenging and got tougher as we made it higher and by the summit night I had very little reserves remaining, however Khatib the main guide took my backpack and stuck with me till I finally reached Uhuru Peak.
My special thanks go to the whole group for a safe trek and an adventure of a lifetime.

Friendly, helpful and found us a holiday we’d never have found ourselves!
Beck could not have been more helpful. He always replied straight away to emails and we felt totally safe in his hands. The safari he found us was wonderful and exceeded our expectations.
