Great customer support
Due to conflicting dates, we did not end up going through Indigo Safaris because we tagged along friends who had already organised one. HOWEVER, Kerry offered fantastic support and insights throughout the quoting process and was really kind and understanding when we mentioned we were no longer pursuing the Safari. Thank you very much!

Amazing trip with an amazing guide!
We booked basically at the last minute and got several quotes, and chose Lulu Safaris because they were competitive and had great reviews. We are really happy we did as we had an incredible time on our safari. We even decided to do the gorilla experience a second time while we were there and Katto, our most fabulous guide, managed to make all the arrangements - which we were told by many people afterwards that it is VERY difficult to do and it only succeeded because everyone knows and loves Katto!
The entire trip was really wonderful, lodges that were chosen were fantastic, and each activity at or near the lodge was amazing. We didn't see very much of Rwanda, but we did do the golden monkey trekking which is honestly, just wonderful! An absolute must. The gorilla experience obviously is plain gob smackingly incredible. We spent most the 9 days in Uganda, and what a beautiful, wondrous country it is. We always felt very safe and Katto is very very knowledgeable about everything, including the politics of both countries.
I can't recommend the tour enough. It is not our first trip to Africa, but certainly one of the best. We will never be able to thank Katto enough for the wonders of those 9 days.

Memorable First African Safari with Wildlife Safaris
Brought my family on our first African Safari @ Kruger National Park in December 2023.
We were most fortunate to have “Hoppy” as our guide - passionate about African wildlife, knowledgeable about the ecology of Kruger National Park, Hoppy was most happy to share his knowledge.
With Skukuza as our base camp, we explored Kruger from Hoppy’s eyes - saw more animals than we thought possible, and heard many more interesting stories. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and wished that we could have stayed an extra day.
We stayed at Skukuza Rest Camp Chalets. There were other newer, more expensive lodges but having travelled a long way from Asia, we preferred these chalets as they offered us an authentic African safari experience. Skukuza, we felt, was also more central location wise and being in the nature reserve, facilitated easy access to game drives and animals.
Mealtimes were enjoyable and rich in conversation, as were the morning coffees with Hoppy. For us, mealtimes were interesting too for other reasons - there were breakfast at Skukuza Golf Club aka “Wildest Golf Club in the World” amongst Hyenas and Hippos, Mugg & Bean Lower Sabie amongst African Buffaloes, lunch at Alzu amongst a large collection of reared African wildlife, and dinner at Cattle Baron back in Skukuza after a long day out.
It was a memorable safari.
Best Wishes Hoppy, loved our trip.

Trip of a lifetime
Can't recommend Kibobo tours enough!
From even before the safari started, Gibson was super responsive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the itinerary and booking process with speed, expertise and patience.
This expertise continued into the safari itself. Gibson and Washida our amazing driver guide both accompanied us on our 9 day safari. They were punctual, knowledgeable and offered a perfect experience. The car was very comfortable and in great condition with drinking water provided all the time.
The safari lodges were expertly chosen, each offering something unique like sweeping views or breakfast with the resident hippos or a beautiful pool. Food at the lodges was plentiful and delicious and we couldn't stop eating! Gibson organized us a mid safari hike and a horseback ride amongst the wild animals to get out of the car for a day as well.
Most importantly, the safari was incredible itself. Washida with 22 years of driver guide experience asked us each morning what we wanted to see and would spot animals we would never have been able to see ourselves. Bathroom breaks were regular and a picnic lunch in the Maasai Mara was a highlight. Their knowledge of the animals was amazing and provided such an educational experience. I also noticed that they were almost the only company picking up trash we found left in the parks by other guests. If conservation of this area matters to you as much as it does to me then you know Kiboko cares too.
Our group felt like there was a surprise hidden around each corner, to beautiful lookout spots to maasai village visits and amazing hospitality.
We will miss our time and Kenya and won't hesitate to recommend Gibson, Washida and Kiboko tours! Have already recommended him to our friends. Thanks Kibobo for the trip of a lifetime!

Review about Lion Guides Safaris by Andrea
Just back from an epic adventure in Tanzania's stunning national parks, masterfully organized by Dorit and expertly guided by her husband, Lukiano. This trip was more than just a safari; it was a journey into the heart of Tanzania's wildlife and the rich Maasai culture. The wildlife and scenery, from the Serengeti plains to the Ngorongoro Crater, were simply out of this world.

Easy going and always smiling tourguide
We were a group of five, it was me and my three young adult children and my sons girlfriend. The driver was fantastic, always smiling, always drivning very safely and continiously looking to do the extra mile for his guests. I had trouble in doing the payment, from Sweden to Kenya, but after several e-Mails back and fourth with my bank and Netherken we finally solved it. Thanks for one of the most memorable holidays we have ever experienced!!

Great Job! Unforgettable Experience!
It was a very special experience! Henry is a super friendly, pleasant guide with whom we were able to learn and laugh a lot, the car was well maintained and in good condition, we will never forget these 6 days. The safari exceeded our expectations. Everything was organized smoothly, always enough to drink and eat, as well as the opportunity to coordinate the process individually.
Asante
