Outstanding - the owners of Wamba Gorilla Tours really do everything to make guests feel welcome!
I wasn't involved much in the planning of the trip prior to arrival (but was told that it went very smoothly and questions were dealt with very rapidly and professionally) but what I can definitely comment on is the level of expertise and commitment once we arrived:
Wamba Gorilla Tours is run by Immanuel and Sofia. We travelled with Immanuel for the duration of the trip and it is evident that he likes what he is doing and is dedicated to providing guests with a memorable trip. The planning was sound, necessary adaptations were dealt with efficiently and with great committment. And what I consider most valuable of all Immanuel proved to be a very attentive host with good people skills and a great eye for detail. Along the way he would suggest slight changes to the schedule that never disappointed but always lead us closer to a personalised and more enjoyable experience, adapted itinerarys happily to fit our needs and likings and through all of that always was enjoyable company.
Long story short: Thank you Immanuel (& Sofia) for this perfect holiday, I think you're doing an amazing job (in an beautiful country - if you're unsure about whether or not to got to Uganda: I loved it) and I'm very happy to tell fellow travellers just that :-)

Excellent tour - our driver Jackson was exceptional, especially friendly with our kids
We arrived in Nairobi but apart from that Kenya Expresso tours sorted everything - we had no complaints. Great Safari.

Excellent experience - third time is a charm!
I just returned from accompanying a group to Uganda on mission work. At the end of these trips we always include a safari and I ALWAYS use Jewel Safaris. Dona is excellent at providing exactly what I want and need to make the trip memorable, exciting and safe. Dona is quick to respond to questions and requests and the value we receive for our money is outstanding.
I have had Moses Motavu as a guide each time and this trip we had the added pleasure of Benjamin as our driver! Both of these men are extremely knowledgeable and personable. They proved to be flexible and humorous as well. We had a GREAT time!
I'm returning again in August and will contact Dona and Jewel Safaris again -- and each visit hereafter! Thank you, Dona and your amazing staff!

Kingfischer Safaris organized a 10-days safari in Zimbabwes for us in April 2019. Martin is a professional and very correct person and above all available to clarify all matters. The correspondence is very fast. Tented camps and lodges are charming and equipped with every comfort; the staff are really welcoming and helpful, i felt like i was in family; great food anytime and anywhere. (Fantastic experience was celebrating Easter lunch in Hwange NP with a big table in the middle of the busch all together with guests from other camps, really a beautiful surprise!)
Kingfischer safari organizes your trip in detail, for this I recommend this for your next trip!

Awesome Time - Gorillas Trekking in Uganda and Rwanda Wildlife
My brother and I had an awesome time trekking for gorillas in Bwindi Uganda and the doing a mix of cultural and wildlife tour in Rwanda. Nicholas helped us in creating our wonderful 6 day itinerary and had great input. For instance the Gorillas permits are cheaper in Uganda. Boaz our guide was outstanding, he took personal responsibility to make our trip fantastic coupled with his easy going nature made the trip extra special. Our tour started in Rwanda where we had a moving visit to the Genocide Memorial, Akagera where we had a great game drive seeing elephant herds, different types of birds, zebras, antelopes and other game, crossed to Uganda spent an amazing day trekking in Bwindi forest in search of the mountain gorillas. When our trackers led us us to the Gorillas high up in the forest, it was an experience second to none. On our ay back to Rwanda we stopped over for an amazing cultural visit in a village (I cannot recall the name) where we had more visits to scenic spots by the twin lakes. My brother are in agreement that this was the best tour experience we've had in a long time.
We fully recommend Devine African Safaris for Rwanda and Uganda tours.

Perfect Kruger park experience
We had an amazing 5 night trip in the Kruger park. Couldn't believe how many animals we saw! Doug is a very knowledgeable and passionate guide and talked us through many birds and plants etc, far from 9 to 5 as we saw loads of animals from the camp every evening! We saw more than the big 5 - the super 7 (I had never heard of it but it's the big 5 plus cheetah and wild dog!). The accommodation organised felt like we were right in the bush and Helen's food was amazing! Would definitely recommend little 5 for a great safari experience.

Amazing trip, highly recommend
Mwangi is an exceptional guide and a lovely person. The safari was 3 days and we saw so much, lions, cheetahs, even a leopard on two occasions as well as elephants, giraffes, hippos and hyenas, lots of impala, thomsons gazelle, topi and zebras and numerous birds. Mwangi's knowledge on the different animals was wonderful and I learned so much. He has an instinct to go to the right places at the right time, and has so many contacts with the other drivers that you get to tips on what's happening elsewhere. The pace was perfect, with early morning and later afternoon game drives, we saw sunrises and sunsets. The camp (Ilkeliani) was incredible such a relaxing place to stay and super friendly staff.
I'd love to return to do another safari and if I do I'll be contacting Native Africa Trails and Mwangi as i'll know it'd be another awesome experience. I highly recommend it.

Best Africa Experience with the greatest Tourguide!
We requested several Uganda offers from different tour Operators. Wamba Safaris (Sofia and Immanuel) always replied very quick to our requests and made modifications to our itinerary according to our wishes.
The tour itself with our guide Immanuel was outstanding, i we could we would rate it with 100 stars :-) Immanuel has his own bus (max. 6 people), we were only 2 and it was very comfortable. He is a very good and safe driver too. The roof can be opened for the safari tours.
The price for the tour was very reasonable compared to other providers and it was worth every dollar!
Immanuel arranged the best possible adventure for us, whenever we had any special requests - he made it possible!
All lodges were fantastic too.
We are very experienced Africa travellers and Uganda is definitely among our favorite countries - so many varied landscapes/animal adventures.
We can recommend Wamba Safaris 100% :-)

Very good organisation of safari
Monkey adventures organised our 7 days migration safari in Tanzania covering Ndutu, Serengeti & ngorongoro.
Safari was organised perfectly as per plan and we got to see many gnus near lake Ndutu.
We selected accommodations suggested by monkey and were happy with our lodges in all 3 parks. Kubukubu in Serengeti was the best accommodation in our travel.
Our guide Dominic is outstanding and became good friends with us by the end of trip.
Thanks for everything!
