Brilliant tour company. Tolbert is the best...!
I just finished doing the 11 day Rwanda and Uganda trek with Encounter Africa.
Everything went brilliantly... Seeing gorillas in the wild has been top of my bucket list for forever and from my first contact with Chris via email he responded quickly and with great suggestions to tailor make the perfect trip for me. Starting with pick up in Kigali, right on time, then to Volcanoes NP for gorilla and Golden Monkey trekking with a stop at the Dian Fossey Centre, crossing to Uganda to Bwindi Impenetrable NP for gorilla habituation, Queen Elizabeth NP for game drives and Kazinga Chanel cruise, Kibale forest for Chimp habituation then Murchison Falls NP for more game drives and a boat cruise to the bottom of the falls. then back to Entebbe with a stop at the Ziwa Rhino sanctuary before drop off at my Entebbe hotel, plus, I added on the Ngamba chimp sanctuary the following day (well worth a visit).
It was such an amazing experience largely due to my brilliant Guide/ Driver / Weaver of... Read more magic wand Tolbert... when Tolbert showed up to pick me up from my hotel in Kigali I was very happy as I’d read great reviews about him. He is not only a great guide, but he’s a good, safe, driver and a great person and it really made the trip extra special. Even when a stick, or something, destroyed the radiator fan of our van in THE MIDDLE of Queen Elizabeth National park, Tolbert made a few calls an in less than an hour three guys found us, dropped of a replacement vehicle and took ours off to get fixed, ON A SUNDAY, and we continued on with our game drive. I was very impressed!!! He seems to know EVERYONE in Uganda and his contacts lead us to some special game viewing and unique experiences and I have now made a great friend.
As I was traveling towards the end of the low season I really felt like a VIP as our lodges we stayed at, all of which where all excellent BTW with great food, where quiet and we had basically the undivided attention of the staff, all of which where great, super friendly and very hospitable.
I have no hesitation recommending Encounter Africa Safaris and already passed their details to my friends and I wish them all the best in the future.

The guides were amazing
We just back from a 11 day week long study abroad experience in Africa with the guides Emmanuel and Moses. I was one of the leaders of the group and this was our first experience with this company booked trough Holbrook travel. This was our fourth time taking students to Tanzania and Africa with college classes and we were not sure what to expect . Moses and Emmanuel exceeded our expectations instantly! They took great care to make sure that all of students were taken care of , helped us to educate them concerning all aspects of ecology of the animals and plants of their country and most important provided an African experience that has clearly changed all,of their lives. Halfway through the trip we met up with the owner of the company Lucas who was clearly a very well known man who was respected and has had a great impact in the surrounding communities.. I would recommend this company above all,other companies for all,colleges and universities that decide to do a field biology or ecology trip like ours.

Review about Murchison Falls National Park by AK
Exceptional park with abundant wildlife and other activities such as the boat ride up the Nile and visiting the Falls. Will be back for sure!

Great trip
I loved the volume of animals we were able to see but I mostly enjoyed the Uganda people that I met. Our guides, porters , hotel staff everyone was very enlightening and interesting. Getting to know the Uganda culture firsthand sets me back to think that here in America we think it’s so rough — they do it everyday- with a smile.

A wonderfull experience with a very experimented guide.
We were very well welcomed by kindly people. They take care of us during the whole travel. We saw a lot of animals in their territory. The camp was comfortable and well organised. Andy is able to track the animals. He knows very well their habits and plants and minerals too. It was a great experience to have a safari with him and Russel who was a very good cook. So we want to come back with our family next year.

Most enlightening and fun experience I ever did!
I booked this trip for me and 4 friends (in our mid-twenties) in march through Mohamed and he was kind enough to go through all the questions we had for him. He ended up suggesting the perfect trip depending on our needs. We did a camping safari for 4 days, 1 night at Ngorongoro and 3 nights at Serengeti. Both destinations were simply amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Elly. Elly made this trip super fun and pleasant, on and off-road. His passion for the wildlife and the animals really transcribed onto us and he was kind to share all of his knowledge in a very enlightening way. This trip was not only amazing, but it also served as the best school we could have imagined to learn about the nature, the animals, the weather changes, the African cultures and much more. The weather was perfect and we saw all the animals we expected to see. I am already excited for my second safari trip to come with Mega Adventures!

The experience from beginning communications to final transfer far exceeded our expectations.
Chris was very quick to respond to communications, answered all my questions, met us locally, and delivered on what was promised. Our driver Silas was an excellent driver and of very good character.
