Beautiful nature and delightful mountain gorillas!
Our trip was very well organized, all the lodges were of good quality an our guide George was piece of gold. He knew all the birds we saw, found lions in high grass impossible to see to unexperienced eye and took good care of us.
There was only one problem - the car was not in the best condition. It did not start without pushing or pulling and so we could not shut down the engine during game drives. Also during the night safari, when ranger saw some red glowing eyes in the darkness, our engine shut down and we had to get out to pull the car and so we lost the animal.
My conclusion from our trip to Uganda:
if you are for:
lots of animals - go to Serengeti;
chimpanzees - go to nearest zoo (bad luck for us - this was second time this year they were unable to trek the chimpanzee's);
gorillas, birding, beautiful landscapes, friendly people - go to Uganda;
Best park in my opinion was Murchison Falls and safari by boat from Mweya peninsula along Kazinga channel was very nice.
Apart from prementioned problems we found our trip satisfactory.
I recommended Destination Jungle Safaris and especially guide George.

Review about Botswana by Catalina Tecas
I think there are more predators missing in the park ... the rest is great

Attentive to our needs and made adjustments were required
We were on a photographic safari and Vuriva understood and made adjustments as necessary to meet our photographic needs. They adjusted starting times and breakfast/lunch to make for the best times for light and animal activity. We had some problems early on with communications with one driver but Vuriva quickly fixed the problem. Their attentiveness to our needs was impressive.

Almost perfect! 4th time on safari arranged by All Seasons!
This was my 4th trip with All Seasons and has likely been the best safari I’ve been on thus far. On previous trips we did an all driving safari or combined driving and flying. On this occasion because I was traveling with family and friends and we wanted to make the most of every day, we did an all flying safari using camp/lodge guides. We stayed at Ol Donyo Lodge in the Chyulu Hills, Samburu Intrepids, Mara Olare Kempinski, Giraffe Manor and The Emakoko. The different places were amazing with Samburu Intrepids being the one we liked least. However, our guide at Samburu Intrepids was great and we saw a ton of wildlife and it was very close to Save the Elephants which we managed to visit. We started planning this trip about 18 months in advance and it took a lot of coordination and back and forth emails with both Alex and Meshack at All Seasons. I can be a real pain and want to know every detail and have everything work out perfectly, so I was in constant communication with them to ensure this was a trip of a lifetime for us, my family, and my friends. They were extremely patient with me. All Seasons was able to offer us the best price for this itinerary and managed to confirm all reservations despite some last-minute changes we requested. I did miss having some All Seasons guides we have used in the past, like Daniel and Peter, but we just didn’t have the time for a driving safari on this occasion. They only need to improve a little bit in their organizational skills to be perfect and they’re certainly heading in the right direction. However, if you don’t mind following-up when you have any questions or doubts, All Seasons will be able to offer you a safari of a lifetime for the best price possible. I do hope to continue to use their services in the near future and to continue recommending them to family and friends. Thanks again for a wonderful trip!

Wonderful time at Tanzania
Everything, really everything was perfect! Kelvin Papai Your organizing was top. Guide Johnson - with You my son Paul (21) and me (61) would go everywhere! Accommodation all in all very fine with the highlight Ngorongoro Coffee Farm House. The Ngorongoro Crater seems to be the paradize on earth.
We will never forget this days and hope to see You back!

Excelent service and personalized experience!
I am very happy with the service provided by Kili Serengeti Guides! I would definitely recommend their services! The service provided was very good from the begining. Communications were fluid and prompt and the owner of the Company was always responsive and helpful. The Team meet with us on the previous day to Safari to provide some explanation and they even gave us a lift to a local Museum and took us back to the Hotel afterwards (no extra charge). Safari was amazing and Mike (the driver and guide) surely knew what he was doing, his experience could show. He was very kind and did a very good job! We had a wonderful time and it was an amazing life experience. Thank you for everything!

Great overall experience!
I am the co-founder of a travel company, Curious on Tanzania, and started our trip with a group of 17 from Kenya to Tanzania in September 2017 and Catherine, the founder of Trekkr Africa was so instrumental in the success and authenticity of our trip that we couldn't have asked for a better travel operator. She even assisted us find a non for profit organization to work with last minute.
Thank you so much to the founder and looking forward to doing repeat business with you.

Amazing Adventure
I have just returned from a 10 day safari with Crystal Safaris in Uganda. Barbara, helped me to create my tailor trip that was personalised to my interests She answered to my many questions quickly and she told me whatever I have to know before starting my trip.
Our guide, Jonah, is a very good guide, he told us about all the wildlife we saw, about the areas we were visited and about life in Uganda.
The vehicle we had it was spacious with a pop-up roof that was ideal for game driving.
I stayed at 2 of their lodges The Gorilla Safari Lodge in the Rushaga area of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, where I went on a gorilla trek, and The Crater Safari Lodge near Kibale National Forest where I went on a Chimpanzee trek . Both lodges are nice, staff has been very kind and nice with us and careful to our necessity.
