An experienced, friendly guide
The safari was amazing, especially the one in the Ngorongo Crater. We were guided by an experienced, friendly guide. Especially in the Crater we saw a lot of animals (several lions, an elephant, giraffes, hyena’s etc).

AMAZING
The trip was an incredible experience. Seeing animals up close that you usually only see in the zoo was unique. Our guide pointed out and explained so much to us. The accommodations were also an experience. Thank you for this unique trip.

A very professional and dedicated travel agency
The five-day and four night itinerary allowed us to fully experience the hardships and joys of visiting golden monkeys and pursuing gorillas. The travel agency has a reasonable itinerary arrangement, and the driver and tour guide are very professional and dedicated. Both driving skills and tour guide level can be described as first-class. In short, this was a very satisfying trip. Thank you again to Jerry and Guinness! I hope to have the opportunity to travel with you again.

Amazing Hospitality and Great Wildlife Views
We had a fantastic experience with Camp Lilac. The safari tour was expertly guided, allowing us to see plenty of wildlife. The accommodation was also a clean, cozy, and very relaxing after our drives. The entire staff was friendly and professional, ensuring everything from the tour to the meals was perfect. Highly recommend for a complete Mikumi experience!

Went above and beyond to make our trip great!
Big Apes, Peter the owner, and Ben our guide, all made our trip great. We chose Big Apes because Peter was the only one out of the companies we contacted who understood the somewhat difficult set of requirements for our trip. Not only did he create a plan to fit our needs, he personally stepped in to make it work. My wife and I wanted to make our gorilla trek on a specific date so our daughter, who working there as a visiting doctor, could join us. But she had to work the day before, and it is very long drive from Kampala to Bwindi. To solve the problem, Peter kindly volunteered to drive her himself, way into the early morning hours, to allow her to join us on the trek. As it worked out, she was able to leave earlier and Peter adjusted their trip to add in an extra safari park visit on the drive down. After our return to Kampala, when we had a couple of unplanned days, Peter made Ben and a Land Cruiser available to allow us to visit the places we chose on those days. It was very gracious of him and it made our stay easy from beginning to end.
Ben was a great guide. Our itinerary involved going a lot of places, all very far from one another, in a short amount of time. That meant Ben spent the week driving and driving more everyday on unpaved roads in terrible traffic. Nevertheless, he was always a pleasure to be with and he was always attentive to our comfort. On our first safari day, we had the good fortune of seeing a couple of lions along with the elephants, water buffalo and many other animals. It was a good day by any measure, but Ben wanted us to see a leopard. He worked his connections with other guides for current information and, after racing to chase various leads though some muddy obstacles, he got us a great up-close leopard viewing at the end of the day. Then, leaving from that location, we happened to encounter another one! Every day Ben was where he said he'd be when he said he'd be there.
I believe our trip fell somewhere in the mid-tier and was perfectly comfortable for us. Amazingly, we had no mosquitoes, but all the accommodations were well equipped with bug nets and had good food and helpful service. Our Land Cruiser was pretty well used and had a minor issue or two along the way, but given amount of driving we did and some of the places we went, that was just part of the adventure for us. Overall, our somewhat compressed trip delivered more than we hoped for, and we owe most of that to Big Apes.

A Perfect 4-Day Safari Adventure Across Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park & Ngorongor
We recently completed an unforgettable 4-day safari with Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures, and it was truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had.
From the moment we arrived in Arusha, everything was perfectly organized. Our journey began in Tarangire National Park, where we were amazed by the huge elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. The scenery was stunning, and our guide made sure we didn’t miss any special moments.
Next, we headed to the world-famous Serengeti National Park. The endless plains, incredible wildlife, and breathtaking sunsets made this part of the safari truly magical. We were lucky to see lions, cheetahs, and even a leopard. Every game drive felt like a new adventure.
Our final stop was the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. The view from the rim was unforgettable, and descending into the crater felt like entering another world. We saw a wide variety of animals in a short time, including rhinos, which was a highlight of the entire trip.
Throughout the safari, the service was excellent. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, making the experience even more enjoyable. The accommodations were comfortable, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures. This 4-day trip gave us memories that will last a lifetime.

Incredible organization and excellent guide
This was our first experience with a guide during a safari, as we typically prefer to explore on our own. However, we couldn’t have been happier to discover that we made the right choice. Our guide's incredible kindness and extensive knowledge truly enhanced our trip, from accommodating our vegan diet to helping us spot every possible animal in the savanna and forest.
The journey exceeded all our expectations, and while each lodge was unique, we loved them all. I will forever cherish the beauty of Uganda, its wonderful people, and breathtaking landscapes.
A heartfelt thank you to Karim—wishing you all the best! We couldn't have asked for a better guide than you!!

This trip is very distinctive. Exciting.
The route designed by Gorilla Pathfinder Travel Agency was very ideal and scientific. They warmly welcomed us and led us on wonderful journeys in Rwanda and Uganda.
Very reliable and professional service, and more affordable than other options.

Very professional and knowledgeable.
I was on a 2 night, 3 days safari in Serengeti and I had a lovely time. From the pick up to departure everything was properly organized and I feel like I got more than I was expecting. All kudos go to our safari guide - Brighton! I went to few safaris before, so this isn’t new activity to me, but the guide was very exceptional. He is passionate about wildlife, safari, conservation… I learned a lot from him, and for every question he had a very good answer. Lovely to see someone doing his job so dedicated and with passion! For sure I will request him the next time I go!
