Beautiful places & very kind people & perfect guide
We had an amazing safari experience, and we would definitely recommend them!
Our guide, Burton, was absolutely wonderful. He is such a kind and friendly person, always with a big smile on his face, and he was very patient with all our requests. He made the whole safari experience relaxed, enjoyable, and memorable.
We joined a shared tour, and we were lucky enough to meet some really nice people in our group. Everyone got along very well, which made the trip even more enjoyable. During the safari, we managed to see almost all of the key animals we were hoping to see, which was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
A big thank you also to Antonia, who was very helpful and did a great job arranging our itinerary. The mid-range accommodations were also much better than we expected and were comfortable and enjoyable throughout the trip.
Overall, it was a fantastic journey from start to finish. Thank you, Burton, and Antonia, for making our safari such a wonderful memory. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable trip at a fair price!
We booked our Uganda trip through Wild Uganda because the 10-day tour with all activities and the value for money convinced us. Even though communication slowed down a bit after initial good advice, everything went smoothly on the spot. All activities—like the gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, the walking safaris to the rhinos, or in Lake Mburo National Park, and spotting the shoebills—were super well-organized, informative, and an absolute experience thanks to our excellent guides.
Our lodges were simple but clean, though the upgrade to the Tabingi Safari Lodge is highly recommended. The Ride 4 a Woman accommodation is also worth mentioning. Overall, we were well taken care of in all accommodations and enjoyed excellent vegetarian food everywhere. All staff members were extremely warm-hearted, helpful, and always friendly. Especially in Hornbill Bush Lodge.
Our Uganda adventure was rounded off by our guide Andrew. He always tried his best to accommodate whatever we needed, even smoking breaks on long rides. He has a wealth of expert knowledge, but what I loved most were his stories about Uganda, its wildlife, and the communities—things you only learn from a local and won't find on Google. I always knew, we were in good hands with him, because he genuinely cared about us. And I truly admire his ability to navigate the chaotic traffic with such calmness! Andrew really gave us an unforgettable time.
We saw the Big Five and so much more—like pangolins, shoebills, Ankole cows, and so, so many birds. The gorillas and chimpanzees still leave me speechless. So, I highly recommend a trip to Uganda to anyone. It was truly impressive. Weebale nnyo!

A safari company offering a great overall experience, communication before the trip could be improv
I went on the 6-Day Circuit Safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Overall, the safari was very well planned and organised.
Our guide, Dennis Hinga, deserves special thanks. He was professional, reliable and excellent at his job. His calm and knowledgeable approach made the safari a truly successful and memorable experience. He also had answers to my countless questions about the animals, Kenya and Kenyan culture, which added a lot to the experience.
The main area for improvement would be communication from the company organising the safari. Before the trip, I had to ask about some things several times, which made me a bit hesitant to book the safari.
Overall, I am very happy with the safari itself.

Interesting and fun experience
Booking the Safari with “Somewhere in Africa” was very easy and fast.
The person in charge of the bookings made sure we had plenty of offers to choose from, each their unique value.
Once booked they informed us with plenty details so we did not have to worry about any logistics.
The flights were booked with a good flight operator (the one’s in Tanzania aren’t all very good, nor reliable), like this we did not have to worry about flight delays or any cancellations.
The Safari itself was completely private and very comfortable.
Our driver “Charles” had some interesting stories about the culture and the animals.
He did his very best to find all the animals we were looking for and gave us the absolute best value for our money.
We are very happy with the overall communication, logistics and experience “Somewhere in Africa” provided for us.
Very recommended to book with this company!

Helpful and professional advice, bookings, communications and driving
We had a wonderful time with our driver James who was a brilliant spotter and was excellent at positioning the Land Cruiser so that we were in an optimum position for photography. We loved his enthusiasm for his job which shone through. Always punctual and willing to adapt to us. Never a dull moment. Took up the challenge to find wildlife we wanted to see and always delivered. Very good knowledge of wildlife.
The planning was well managed by Brenda in the office and she followed up regularly. Good customer care culture in the company obviously.
We thought some aspects of outsourced services were highly priced such as the externally run night drive, the balloon and the charge for booking internal flights. Not a comment on Splendid but worth knowing if you are thinking of doing these. Be aware you will rarely get 8 hours sleep because of the early starts!

Great Serengeti + Ngorongoro Safari with Kiliclimb
We had a fantastic 4-day safari with Kiliclimb Africa Safaris covering Central Serengeti, Northern Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. Communication was excellent from start to finish, they were very responsive on WhatsApp both before and during the trip, which made planning and any day-of questions easy.
Our guide, Lucky, was fantastic, knowledgeable, attentive, and made sure we had a great experience throughout. We saw the Big Five plus plenty of other wildlife, and the camps/lodges along the route were genuinely good, comfortable, well-located, and well cared for.
The only hiccup was our jeep breaking down a couple of times during the trip, but the team handled it well and made sure we still got to every destination without losing out on the itinerary. Minor inconvenience, but it didn't take away from the overall experience.
Overall, a well-run, communicative, and safe operation. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Serengeti/Ngorongoro safari.

8 days safari from Mwanza, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara to Arusha.
We had a very good safari experience with NGAO Safaris, which was largely thanks to our guides, David and Doto. They were very good at spotting wildlife, and shared a lot of interesting knowledge with us. Thanks to their great spotting skills, we saw an incredible amount of wildlife, including the entire Big Five. Moreover, they were responsible drivers.
The only downside was that the program was changed some times along the way due to circumstances. This required a flexible mindset from our side, as the daily schedule was not always what we expected beforehand.
However, the quality of the game drives and lodges made up for this completely.
We had a great experience and a wonderful time. We would certainly book with them again in the future.
