Detail orientated adventure with great memories to cherish
I wanted gorillas. Ever since I knew about Rwanda gorilla tours I wanted one. I asked for a quote and Ivan called me and informed me of the price difference between the Ugandan and Rwandan gorilla permit. So Uganda it was.
Ivan advised on the best airport to fly into (kigali), helped with my visa issue, and introduced me in his gentle way to his corner of Africa. I loved that our stopover in Kisoro was his family’s holiday home. Steeped in personal historical anecdotes was what I really wanted in a guide, he gave me an authentic taste of Uganda. Also he quickly got to know what I needed (assistance with walking / hiking, getting key shots for my travel photography) and applied it to each day.
I don’t normal self fund my travels so being on a budget away from work travels was such a wonderful eye opener. Every accommodation excelled in cleanliness, service including and especially Ivan’s own hotel.
In total we spent five days together; gorillas, lake bunyoni (please do two days here on your travels), batwa tour, lake kivu. I was saddened to leave Ivan when he dropped me off in kigali. He really does care about the delivery of his service and personalised my tour every step of the way.
Africa is not cheap (in comparison to say SE Asia, India etc) but Ivan made it as efficient as possible without losing my need for a personal tour. I can’t recommend enough.
Amazing host and tour arrangement
I stayed at Motel Santaviva for 4 days and did Gorilla trekking. Ivan was an amazing and warm host. He provided helpful tourist information and transportation for me. The price of tour is also affordable since in am a solo traveler. The gorilla tour was really well arranged even I booked it just two days before. Thanks for Ivan. I really have had great time during gorilla trekking and my stay at Kisoro. Highly recommended if you are going to visit Uganda.
Great value and Great Service
Ivan at Santaviva did a great job organising things and the driver Moses was excellent. They helped me book Bwindi gorilla trekking at a very affordable price.
Efficient and comfortable
Santaviva was absolutely amazing and exactly what we needed for our group. They communicated well, were punctual, and generally helpful. The activities organised ensured everyone in our diverse family group had so much fun - kids, adults alike. Our group included an elderly person and our host ensured she was always comfortable.
Ivan was an absolutely fantastic host/guide and gave us an experience beyond our expectations,
Ivan's communication was great, timely and useful. His staff's service was both respectful and accommodating. The tour was absolutely fantastic, packing a wide variety of activities into a few short days without leaving us tired or overwhelmed. Great value for money.
