Absolutely amazing and thorough with his information.
Our 12 day journey throughout Rwanda was top notch. Frank, the owner, was very responsive before, during, and after our trip with any questions or needs that we had. The trip itself was absolutely incredible from the driving, the hotels, seeing animals such as wild gorillas, chimps, all kinds of monkeys, birds, and some of the big five with many more animals, to the somber genocide memorials. Rwanda is an amazing country with much to see and do and this trip provided insight to all of it. Our driver/guide, Jean Claude, was also fantastic. He was thorough with his information and anything he didn’t know he was able to discern for us later. He was very accommodating to our trip needs if we wanted to veer off course. I can’t recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris enough. You’ll be extremely satisfied with the trip, price, and customer service. L

An animal filled adventure
My buddy and I hopped in for 3 days of a 4 day safari. Daudi was great and worked with us on logistics and a price adjustment for the day we would be missing.
The safari itself was everything we could have wanted it to be. Thousands upon thousands of animals were seen. The pop up roof is an absolute must, so happy we had one. Every morning starts at 6am with breakfast and goes until dinner around 7-8pm. All of our meals were good and almost all of them were made hot and in the moment. I left every meal very full.
There are really zero complaints. The entire experience was excellent.

It was the best time of our lives on a tour
Victoria listened and understood what my husband and I hoped to experience on our first trip to Uganda. She always responded to our lengthy emails regarding the questions and was so patient even with our ever changing itinerary and wants. Her recommendations proved to be perfect and fit our budget. On tour, our guide Nixon was fantastic and took care of us throughout our stay. The lodges were lovely lodges with great service, the Land cruiser vehicle we used was clean and in good condition, amazing nature and wildlife especially the tree-climbing lions and gorillas were spectacular!!! Highly recommend this company and would use them again.

Safari Update Travels are the best!
Safari Update Travels are the best!
We highly enjoyed our 3 days and 2 nights luxury Safari. We weren’t into camping so we went with the option to stay at Sarova Mara Game Camp. The tour was well organized and accommodation was top notch. Our safari was in a heavy duty Jeep-like vehicle with a pop up top. It was much better compared to other vehicles we saw in the park. It came with free WiFi and electrical outlets for charging, which was greatly appreciated. The evening safari drive was one of the best highlights of the trip. The sunset was one to remember. The team at Safari Update Travels Helped us with every special request and they delivered excellently exceeding our expectations. We will definitely plan to book our next tour with them.. It was very easy to communicate with them and they responded quickly to all my questions. Special thanks to Linsel for making the safari a success. Thank you Safari Update Travels!! You are the best!

Breath Taking Experience
The ideal trip to Kenya is to make this a part of your itinerary. The experience was one of the most amazing I've been on in a while. Thanks to Silas who responded swiftly to our emails and helped us make our booking. Simon our safari guide was helpful and very knowledgeable throughout the journey. He knew the exact spots where to get the animals, he was very resourceful and made the whole safari worth it. From the animals to the views especially of Mt. Kilimanjaro was breathtaking. I highly recommend travelers who need to get excellent safari experience to book with Safari Update Travels.

Reaching the stars
We made a trip with 4 children, aged 2 years old to 13 years and it was the unforgettable trip of your lifetime!
The service staff was incredible, Fidelice our driver was so knowledgeable, kind and attention towards our needs. Food was excellent. The trip in itself was in a very nice car, comfortable. We all enjoyed it so much. Spotting the big 5', reaching the stars in our mind! All what we wanted! The emotional part of it, is when you realize that everything is perfect and it's holidays! Now looking for our next adventure with them to get the same thrill we got! The professionalism they all dedicated to make this trip incredible, is mind blowing. It was above all our expectations. People were genuinely nice and not pushy. Loved it :)

We went on a 3 day 2 night safari to Amboseli Park after booking with Safari Update Travels. It was a great experience. The staff were very friendly, the lodges were excellent and the safari was worth every penny. Thanks Safari updates.

Wild kingdom Safari!
I was excited when picked from the hotel in Nairobi. It was a solo trip so I was the only traveler on this excursion. Kudos to Safari Update Travels for honoring the booking - thank you! The driver Peter was excellent, the accommodation was way out of my expectations, the park was just brilliant. I selected this 2 day itinerary due to a very strict budget on my part - and it was definitely two days well spent - 3 days would have been better! Make your next booking with Safari Update Travels.

Reliable, knowledgeable, capable and affable!
I have had the good fortune of being guided and driven by George Mbaula of Inland Africa Explorers twice now, both times in the capacity of joint photography-expedition leader, and I can honestly say it’s hard to think of what could be better in their planning and service! They are simply the best people, totally in touch with the field realities, with years and years in the bush, to handle your dream Tanzanian vacation or photo tour in the Serengeti Ecosystem.
On both my visits I was assisted expertly by them to plan the itinerary to optimise our time in the various locations. All local bookings were made by them in perfect consonance with our needs, and there was absolutely no hassle or last-minute surprises. Right from meet-and-greet to the moment of departure, their naturalist team was the epitome of punctuality, cordiality and professionalism. And best of all, they have a clear understanding of a photographer’s needs, which are the most demanding of any visitor’s, because it means early starts, perfect vehicle positioning and long hours in the field, all of which George’s team carried out cheerfully, with never a no and always a smile on their lips. Their unending energy and enthusiasm to keep toiling all day for the benefit of their guests with unending patience is truly exemplary. What’s more, they’d even clean the safari vehicles at lunchtime, while the guests took a breather!
All this is topped by their intimate knowledge of the bush and its wildlife, and passion for showing it to tourists and saving it for posterity.
I could go on but in the interest of brevity, I will sign off by saying that some of my fondest days in Africa have been spent in Ndutu, being taken around by George and his team amid the animals you can be sure they love as much as I ever could, and unwinding in the evenings with a beer reflecting on what a wonderful world it indeed is.
