Great Safari Experience to Murchison Falls National Park
Very uncomplicated communication via WhatsApp. Great service. Good accomodation and food. The Safari itself was a blast. We've seen a lion family with 4 lion babys, a leopard, elephants, buffalos, lots of giraffes ... all from close distance. Joseph was a great driver and guide.

Excellent, most helpful and patient tour operator
From the very first minute, the booking process through to the end of the safari, especially Peter and Jackson they were amazing. They catered for our every need since our safari was customised to our liking. They were very patient during the game drives Jackson our guide was most patient and took time to explain and went out of his way to show us.
If I were to go again I would not hesitate to book with Bestday Safaris and would recommend them to anyone.

Life changing experience
The focus is indeed set on a very good path. I did a one day Safari and the experience was just incredible. It was my very first one and Nelson did a beautiful job with the organisation. There were just two days from the idea of going until jumping into the landcruiser but everything went smooth and turned out awesome. Quick and easy but I also felt treated very respectfully and honestly. Food, Lodge, Driver everything was perfect and I have nothing to complain.
The Lionsgate Hostel, from where it all started, is a place which opens and connects worlds. Volunteers, travellers, tourists and locals all come together and create a unique experience. Places like this and people like Nelson make you look into the future with a wide smile. It was definitly not my last Safari with Focus in Africa and I can recommend it with all my heart.

Amazing
I would like to say Thank you to Kerry. She did an excellent job in organizing to my our trip a lifetime experience.
Did not have any problem with our trip to Africa. If you are looking for a travel agent I would highly recommend Kerry. She quickly to answer all our questions. We had an amazing time. Most especially interaction with the elephants is so far the BEST.
Crusty and Kate could not have been helpful and they arranged a first class trip
The trip more than lived up to our expectations.
Compass Odyssey arranged everything for us and what we received was first class at an affordable price.
The providers that they used for accommodation and safari's were excellent and certainly knew their stuff.
They were readily available and most helpful.
In summing up a great holiday that was stress free from ours as a customer point of view.

GORILLAS - Great Value & Service
Wild Jungle Trails exceeded our expectations for a three day gorilla trekking tour to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in southwestern Uganda. We selected Wild Jungle Trails for our trip based on their value pricing and trip flexibility to accommodate our itinerary. We began communicating with Teresa of Wild Jungle Trails over six months in advance of our trip. She always responded promptly to our emails, even though there was a 9 hour time difference between our countries. Every item on our agreed to itinerary was accomplished within the schedules that they provided to us.
Our driver, Fred, met us promptly at our hotel for our 9 hour drive from Entebbe, Uganda to Bwindi. Fred was very flexible with our schedules and accommodated anything we wished to do along the way. Fred was always at our beckoned call for the three day adventure with transportation service when we needed it. He is an experienced 15 year veteran of guiding these types of trips and made our long drive very enjoyable. We even continue to maintain contact with Fred since we have returned home.
Gorilla trekking is a once in lifetime experience that most people will never have the opportunity to enjoy. We initially wondered if the cost for permits, at $600 USD per person for a one hour visit with the gorillas, was worth the cost. It is amazing to be face to face with a 450 pound silverback, where you are so close that you can smell his musky aroma! He even stood up and pounded his chest for us a couple of times. Natural animal encounters don't get any better than that - it's worth twice the price or more!
You don't expect friendships to evolve with travel agency staff, but the personalized and friendly service that we received from Teresa and Fred of Wild Jungle Trails made for a lasting relationship that we would recommend to any traveler wishing to experience the wonders of Uganda.

Look no further than African Big Cats for your trip of a lifetime!
From the moment I contacted African Big Cats to the conclusion of my tour I knew this was an exceptional,professional, and passionate tour operator. My initial discussion with Emanuel was to devise an innovative tour since I have visited Tanzania multiple times.. He suggested a unique , exciting itinerary with his exceptional knowledge of his beloved country. As well as his brilliant knowledge of the flora and fauna his personal stories of his life in Tanzania made me appreciate the culture and customs of this magnificent country. The ability to go off road on this adventure allowed us to be just within reach of the incredible wildlife. He was as enthusiastic as I seeing the migration of wildebeest even through he had experienced it often in his ten years as a guide. I left my heart in Tanzania as many others have and hope to return. I will only consider using African Big Cats on my next adventure.
