highly professional and caring local tour operator that delivered a flawless, unforgettable 8‑day Ug
We have just returned from an absolutely incredible 8‑day private safari with Ngoni Safaris Uganda, and we cannot recommend this company highly enough. From the very meeting in airport to the final drop‑off at Entebbe, everything was handled with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care.
The itinerary itself was perfectly balanced: we started with rhino tracking at Ziwa, moved on to the breathtaking Murchison Falls with its game drives and Nile boat cruise, then continued to Kibale for chimpanzee trekking, Queen Elizabeth National Park for tree‑climbing lions and elephants, and finally the emotional highlight – gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Every day brought a new “wow” moment, and the logistics were seamless, which allowed us to simply soak in the beauty of Uganda.
A huge part of what made this trip so special was the team behind it. Cedric handled our arrangements and logistics with great patience and professionalism, replying quickly, tailoring the itinerary to our wishes; Stephen is a charismatic and outstanding guide – knowledgeable, passionate, and full of fascinating insights about Uganda’s wildlife and culture and Charles is a skilled, safety‑conscious driver who handled Uganda’s roads with complete confidence, always friendly and helpful, making our trip safe and comfortable. This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we are already dreaming of returning. Thank you for making it so memorable.

Big Five in four days: an unforgettable safari with Wild Pride Safaris
We just got back from a 4-day private safari in northern Tanzania with Wild Pride Safaris, and it was fantastic from start to finish.
The itinerary
Tarangire National Park. It was a great start: huge baobabs, lots of elephants, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, ostriches, mongooses and baboons by the river.
Ngorongoro Crater. The drive down into the crater was breathtaking. We saw wildebeest, flamingos, hippos, lions (a lioness and a big male) and even rhinos, which are rare to spot.
Central Serengeti (two full days). This was the highlight of the trip. We saw cheetahs, hyenas, dik-diks, Thomson’s gazelles, prides of lions, elephants, buffalo and huge herds of wildebeest and zebras on the plains. We saw leopards twice, once resting up in an acacia. Along the Seronera River we found crocodiles, topi and impala, and we had a picnic at the Retima Hippo Pool.
And yes, we completed the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo!
The organization
Lilian’s organization before the trip was excellent. She always replied quickly, helped us adjust the itinerary to what we wanted, and gave us great advice on everything from lodges to logistics. We felt in good hands long before we landed.
Our guide
Our guide, Elisante, was outstanding. He answered every one of our many questions with patience and knowledge. He was always trying to track down the wildlife, and he kept changing the plan to fit the situation: where the animals were moving, what other guides were reporting, and the time of day.
A tip for future travellers
Seeing it live, you quickly realize the animals are always moving. Where you saw a lion an hour ago, there may be nothing now. So trust your guide: he knows where to go and when, and he’ll take you to the right spots. With Elisante, that’s exactly what happened.
Highly recommended. Asante sana, Lilian and Elisante!

Marvellous Experience
It was an awesome experience. Reagan, our guide/driver was the perfect colleague to Drive us into the marvellous National parks all around Uganda. He was able to see animals that any other Couldn’t , and was very flexible with our needs or to change itinerary based on the weather. Despite it was the wet season, the weather overall was great with some puntual heavy rains. The experience with chimps and gorilas was amazing and the lodges selected for the trip were also fantastic, with increíble views. I would recommend Ngoni 100%

Even better then expected!
An absolutely outstanding experience with Pavilion Safari!
Even their already impressive reviews don't do them justice. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations.
Amazing value for money, with clean, comfortable accommodation and excellent facilities throughout. They also catered perfectly to dietary requirements, which was greatly appreciated.
The guides and drivers were professional, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about both the parks and the well-being of the animals. The itineraries were exceptionally well balanced, combining fantastic wildlife experiences with plenty of comfort along the way.
Peter and Cynthia deserve a special mention. They were both excellent, incredibly accommodating and flexible, taking the time to understand my requirements and even helping with my onward travel plans.
One thing that really stood out was their support when the airline delayed my luggage by six days. Peter and Cynthia went above and beyond, coordinating with their contacts to ensure my bags were located and delivered directly to me at the safari camp. That level of care and service speaks volumes about their commitment to their customers.
They have an excellent network, genuinely care about what they do and go far beyond what you would normally expect from a safari operator.
Don't hesitate to book with Pavilion Safari. I couldn't recommend them highly enough!

An unforgettable safari experience!
What an incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was absolutely fantastic.
A very special mention must go to our guide, Israel. He was simply outstanding: friendly, kind, patient and extremely professional. His knowledge of the wildlife, the parks and the entire route was exceptional. He always seemed to know where to go and what to look for, and thanks to him we had some truly unforgettable wildlife encounters. He was also wonderful company throughout the trip. A 10 out of 10 guide!
The lodges and tented camps were equally impressive. Beautiful locations, fantastic accommodation and incredibly friendly and attentive staff everywhere we stayed. Sleeping in a tented lodge in the middle of the Serengeti, surrounded by wildebeest and listening to the sounds of the animals at night, was something we will never forget.
And the safari itself exceeded all our expectations: lions, four leopards, cheetahs, elephants, huge herds of wildebeest and zebras, buffalo, hippos, giraffes, hyenas and finally six rhinos in Ngorongoro, completing the Big Five!
Everything was perfectly organized and we felt very well looked after throughout the entire journey.
An absolutely unforgettable trip and an experience we would recommend without hesitation. Thank you Israel and the whole team for making it so special!

Extraordinary experience with serengeti clarity
Our safari experience with serengeti clarity is coming to an end and I’m already sad. Their attention in clarifying my doubts and helping to choose the best package was great and everything became even better when we arrived here and started our safari. Our tour guide Abdul was the BEST. He made sure we saw all the animals, he was knowledgeable to explain everything about each of them apart from being an extraordinary person!
I highly recommend both the agency and the guide! ♥️

An unfogettable experience! Reliable, kind and professional operator
We had an absolutely incredible safari experience, and honestly, even a 5-star rating doesn’t do it justice! Everything exceeded our expectations from beginning to end :)
A huge thank you to our guide, Anuar, who was simply outstanding. He was passionate about Wildlife, knowledgeable, professional, incredibly kind and attentive, and always went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
A special mention also goes to Philbert, who organised everything to perfection and with a verygreat sense for details and professionalism. Communication was excellent, every detail was taken care of, and he delivered on every single promise. He truly goes the extra mile to make sure his clients are happy. The entire safari ran smoothly, and we felt in very good hands throughout the trip :)
We particularly appreciated booking with MT2T which was a fantastic local tour operator, and genuinely outstanding. We would recommend them without the slightest hesitation to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
Thank you, Philbert and Anuar, for making this safari an unforgettable experience!
