Excellent - will definitely plan another visit!
Communication from start to finish was excellent. The staff at Classic Journeys Africa were extremely helpful.
We had a fantastic time on our safari. Our driver/guide Peter was great, he is was extremely knowledgeable and really Looked after us. We wish we had stayed longer on safari. We stayed at the Ashnil Mara Camp which was excellent. Staff extremely friendly & food was great. Thoroughly recommend both Classic Journeys Africa and the Ashnil Mara Camp!

Amazing and so very professional! Could not have asked for more....
Terrain Sarafis took us through Uganda and into Rawanda. Paul's knowledge and experience was evident and so appreciated. I loved his passion for birds and it engaged me into a life-long love for birds. Uganda's birds are amazing. And I felt so safe with Paul and Terrain Safaris as they took us through difficult terrain, found us perfect restaurants and delivered us to unbelievable locations and accommodation. If I went back to Uganda I would not think twice about engaging these guys. Superb!!

I'm at least once a year in Uganda and I'm so grateful that I finally found THE partner for safaris
Everything was great. We really enjoyed the flexibility, the communication.

A wonderful holiday to four different but equally spectacular venues.
I visited Uganda with a group of friends and stayed at the Boma in Entebbe and then three different game parks (Kidepo, Ishasha and Bwindi). It was fascinating to see such a varied cross-section of the country. We loved everywhere we stayed and our excellent and knowledgeable drivers/tour guides in the game parks.

The greatest ever
I noticed that the company is alway sensetive about the client's needs and expections and they work tooth and nail to see the the trip is the best,I love the way they valued me and cared for me,it was really value for money, it was amazing to see the African Elephants as big as a house in Queen Elizabeth National

Excellent safari, one of the best experiences we had in Uganda
My wife and I did a 3-day safari of Murchison Falls NP with these folks. We have just the best memories of the entire trip. We could not be more satisfied.
Some of the highlights:
- The owner, Wilson, is friendly and directly reachable on the phone. I wanted to be extra-sure before committing to these folks. So I went and met Wilson at his home in Kampala and he immediately put me at ease.
- They own and rent out several modern, clean vehicles in very good condition, and run safaris all the time.
- Kassim, or driver, was a pleasure to interact with. He is young, very helpful and dedicated to his job. Further, he is observant, drives very well, and is a good conversationalist with lots of interesting tidbits.
- Further, probably because Kassim is such a pleasant person, he has a very good network with what we presume are other drivers and safari guides, because once we enter a park he switches into a different mode. He is actively working the phones, and you as a passenger just have to sit back and watch the amazing scenes unfold. For example: in Murchison Falls NP, we got to hang out with 12 lionesses and lion cubs for almost an hour, watching them as they ate and played. This was only one of many sightings during the day.
- The trip itself: we were very happy because Saso does not do the usual nickel-and-diming that is very prevalent in other economy safari companies, for example in Kenya.
- Itinerary: even though we made a few last-minute changes to the overall plan, Wilson and Kassim handled everything admirably and made sure we got where we wanted to go
- Arrangements for food: I don't know if this is standard across all their safaris, but the food arrangements were all uniformly excellent. Further, Kassim took note of our dietary preferences and only took us to places where we would get good options
All in all, a simply superb safari experience. If you're looking for a good safari company in Uganda, look no further!
Side note: something that caused me a bit of anxiety before the safari began was the fact that they have very few reviews! Unfounded anxiety, as it turned out. These guys are the real deal. Book them with your eyes closed, and rest assured.
Words only can't describe this
I love the way the company was always giving me updates and for the staff they were amazing and so lovely, I realised later that the trip was exactly what I needed

safari and Victoria falls.
I was introduced to laurette through the staff at lalibela game reserve to help with planning the second part of our first visit to South Africa. She has been amazing! Her organisation and communication has been second to none and although British airways changed one of our flights at the last minute which meant our connections didn't work she rebooked our flights and hotel without us having to do anything! We have had an amazing time. Thanks again Laurette.
