Unforgettable Honey Moon
My husband and I, spent two wonderful weeks in Uganda and Rwanda, all arranged by Saso Uganda Safaris. This trip has certainly become a trip of my lifetime. Gorilla tracking in Uganda was extremely wonderful. The guide Kasim, was very motivating and keeping it positive in challenging moments like Gorilla tracking.
As for safari all I can say, had an amazing time. We took 5 day safari to Nyungwe, Volcanoes National Park, and Lake Kivu in Rwanda after touring Uganda. All parks are beautiful, but Bwindi was the place worth staying for days and if I come back I will choose to go double gorilla tracking for sure. Driver was funny, witty and informative with wildlife facts and safari stories.
Food on safari was also good and tasty, lunch boxes we received were very generous in size and portions in comparison what we saw with other people on picnic spots. For us this package was exactly what we wanted.

Everything was great: the service, the tour, the accomodation!! Thanks for all! It was unforgettable
We've booked three days for us and our children with Sir Michaels Tours. The service was very good during the whole time!
Our guide was a good driver and explainted everything we wanted to know. He showed us the big five (except the rhino we didn't see). We were very impressed with all these animals and the nature.
Our tent was excellent: very comfortable!
It was an unforgettable experience for us and the kids:)

Excellent holidays, despite of a few timings issues
We had an amazing holiday. The hotel, the tour, the views all were incredible.
We had a few stressful moments where the timings were incorrect and the hotel tried to double charge us at the end of our stay, but luckily they got resolved quickly. We don't know of the issue was with the suppliers or the agent. Luckily we did not miss the flight or any of the rides. We had an excellent guide for safaris - Oupa, who made sure we were not waiting unnecessarily for an hour for the sunrise drives. (As per original bookings - we would have had to wake up unnecessarily and then wait for ages)
Overall, we had amazing holidays, and the issues got resolved very quickly.

Beautifully tailor-made and very well organized 12 day trip throughout Western Uganda
My mom came to visit and I wanted to be able to spend our time together exploring the beauty and abundant wildlife of Uganda without stressing about logistics. Tim built a wonderful itinerary combining our desires for wildlife and culture. Our guide/driver Roger was so knowledgeable and kind throughout the entire trip and our Chef David amazed us with excellent food suited for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. We could not have been happier with our experience with Buffalo Safari Camps.

Shoor Safaris - The best in KENYA wildlife experience
We did a safari package of 7 n / 8 d from 15 May ' 18 to 22 May ' 18 thru SHOOR safaris covering AMBOSELI / NAKURU / MASAI MARA / NAIVASHA. Also, hot air balloon safari in MARA was done by SHOOR and it is an unforgettable experience for first timers.
From the very first day , their office staff Ms. FIONA was very prompt and accurate with all details and information that we needed. Prompt replies to our e-mails , customized package at very good prices , attention to detail and honesty and transparency are a few words that describe SHOOR safaris.
Mr. Sanjay , the owner is a very co-operative person and we had to do some itin. re-scheduling due to some flight changes and it was handled very professionally by Mr. Sanjay and his team.
Mr. John , the driver cum guide was with us from 15 to 22 May and he was one real good driver and also had a terrific eyesight to spot wild animals from far off distances.
Our KENYAN safari experience would not have been complete without SHOOR.
Thanks Mr. SANJAY and his entire team.

Incredible! Saw the big 5!
My boyfriend and I had a great 3 day, 2 night experience in the Maasai Mara thanks to Beacon and especially our incredible guide/driver Daniel! He was so kind, knowledgeable and great driver. The 4x4 van was clean and comfortable, and our drive from Nairobi to the Maasai was great. I would definitely recommend Beacon to anyone, and would make sure they request Daniel to be their driver!!

Our Unforgetable Adventure in Uganda - 8 Days of Surprises and Happiness !
This trip by Achieve Global Safaris stands out as one of the best safaris I have experienced. And this is my 8th safari having been to Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe before ! And why, you may ask? Because it is so different from the usual safaris! Yes, we have game drives early morning and at sunset like all the other places. But here, we have walks in the dense forests trekking down chimpanzees and gorillas. Climbing up and down steep slopes with thick vegetation, with the lead Ranger slashing out a track for us with his machete. With friendly English speaking porters helping to carry our day backpacks. With armed trackers in the front and back of our Group in case we encounter "wild animals" which may endanger our trek--- though nothing like that happened. And when we encountered those marvellous primates, we get to spend 1 great hour observing their behaviour. What an amazing experience we had ! The 1 hour passed too quickly. This is a highly recommended safari!
And what it even better was Achieve Global Safaris. From the beginning, it was a pleasure emailing with Mark. We could write very frankly and the replies were always prompt and clear. Their prices were also the best I could get. Then when we arrived, we were greeted by a smiling Driver Guide Abudalla. He was to be our friend for the next 8 days. He was always prompt and cheerful. And he was clean-about his ownself, his appearance and his vehicle. He never drank any alcohol (he is a Muslim), never smoked and was a family man who phoned his family members every evening! Our group of 4 persons felt much for him. He kept the vehicle clean , even though it was thoroughly messed up by muddy roads and rainy weather.
As a driver, Abudalla was the best in all my years of travelling! We covered long distances, but Abudalla made them pleasant even with many hours of difficult roads in Uganda. And when we were on game drives, some treacherous and muddy situations were easily overcome by him without any complaint or panic. We once had a front left wheel drop into a sinkhole that appeared from nowhere ! Within seconds and with calm, he suggested a solution. The 4 of us would go to the rear right corner of the vehicle, and attempt to weigh it down to get traction on that wheel to rev us out. And it worked ! We travelled nearly 2000km and we felt safe in his driving, and that was very important to us.
As for game sighting, we got all we wanted ! And more, as Abudalla found us a leopard, which we had wished for but did not really expect to see.
We wish AGS every success and highly recommend them.

Understood our requirements and tailored the tour to what we wanted
We were recommended to Ubuntu Safaris by a well travelled friend. We normally do a lot of travel organisation ourselves after a lot of research. With our event trip to South Africa, we had a rough outline of where we wanted to go and gave this to Cuan at Ubuntu. He took our outlines, expanded upon it and got to know us and what we were looking for and tailored the itinerary to us. His choices of accommodation were spot on, great locations, helpful hosts and gave us a real taste of South Africa. When we had a question Cuan took these on and handled the request or issue. He was frank and very helpful in his suggestions having taken the time to understand how we travel and what interested us. He was 100% right on every occasion. I would highly recommend Cuan and Ubuntu.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Beth
This was our first NP we went to and it was a great start to our week long Safari. Plenty of wildlife and beautiful country.
