Excellent Uganda experience
We had an amazing experience traveling across Uganda with GoExplore Safaris. All the arrangements were exceptional. Brian and Mozes took care of all our needs and made our trip amazing. This was a mother/daughter trip and initially I was worried about if it is going to be safe or not. All my fears were put to rest when our guide met us at the airport. The only thing we would have done different is, we should have flown from park to park as the distance by road was long and bumpy. We went to almost all national parks and the highlight offcourse was Chimp and Gorilla tracking. We had an amazing time at Kideppo National park where it felt like we had the entire park to ourselves compared to the crowd in other parks. The property we stayed in was amazing and had some spectacular views to nature and wildlife

Great boutique tour operator, organizes personalized trips of a lifetime to your specifications!
This is the second time I have traveled with my family with GoExplore. The first time was an amazing Uganda experience (already reviewed) and this second experience with my husband to Kenya was equally amazing. Brian organized organized both tours for me and tailored them according to my wishes. As this is still the time of unsure flights and Covid difficulties, he was easily able to adapt to some changes with travel that were beyond our control.
GoExplore is a boutique business that is very personalized and offers you the equal and more than a large corporate operator. The price point is compatible with group tours but you will have your own personal driver and guide for yourself and there is nothing to compare with this luxury. Because of that, you will also be able to adapt your days schedule if you wish according what you want and not what is a groups plan.
We were completely happy and satisfied with all aspects of our travel (on both trips). Brian knows the safari tour industry and is constantly working to improve the business, his knowledge about lodges, the parks, restaurants and all minute aspects of the tour. He will be able to personally attest to the quality of whatever product he is recommending to you.
Sammi was our driver in Kenya and we can only say that he was amazing. He knew more about wildlife (and every birds name and details) than an encyclopedia, was an amazingly adept driver in sometimes rough conditions (traffic, rough park roads, etc.) and looked out for our interests. While respecting the animals, he went above and beyond trying to make sure we saw every different animal we could. We appreciated that he obviously respected and cared about the animals we were seeing. (Not all safari drivers do and will do anything to try to get to see something up close, even while encroaching too much on their space.) We had a minor vehicle difficulty and Sammi made sure that everything went smoothly and we didn't miss a minute of our trip or schedule. He is quite an asset to GoExplore. Sammi only drives on Kenya trips but if you go to Uganda, I highly recommend Moses who was equally great.
Overall, the trip was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime. If you haven't gone on a safari before, you should trip to put this on your life plan. There is nothing like it and when you plan it, you want a safari operator that will listen to your needs, wants, and budget and tailor it to fit you. GoExplore will do that in a personal way.
Our lodges that Brian picked were magical and the food was outstanding. There was nothing about our trip that we would have changed. I highly recommend GoExplore if you want to travel to any of the countries they operate in. If not those countries, then reconsider them over the more commercialized ones (such as South Africa) and you won't be disappointed.

Best experience of my life
This has been the trip of a lifetime. I'm so glad that we went on this Safari and got to explore Uganda! It's such an amazing country with beautiful people, animals - everything you could hope for in your dream vacation spot it truly felt like a memorable experience. The staff were all wonderful and went out of their way to make sure that everything would be perfect for us while we were there!

GoExplore Safaris the best African tour operator.
As always, travelling with GoExplore Safaris is an incredible experience. Starting with the warm welcoming at the airport till the end of the trip. The itinerary was created by the GoExplore Safaris staff, there was an easy communication with the team, and they were very fast and helpful during the whole trip. The safari started in Pian Upe NP followed by Kidepo Valley NP moving on to Queen Elisabeth NP driving through the Murchison’s NP finishing with gorilla and golden monkey trackings in Mgahinga NP. During my stay lodges were very accurate to my requisites. As the last time I travelled with them I would 100% recommend their services in African tailored made trips. Thanks to them I had a true African experience with thousands of different animals, communities, flavours and smells.

Amazing time in Uganda with the GoExplore team
My family and I were super happy with the 13 day safari trip we booked with GoExploreSafaris!! We can highly recommend the team for their professional approach starting from the communication before the trip (per email and chat) to the actual on road experience. Brian taylored the trip to our needs and joined us as guide throughout the journey. All the lodges he suggested were excellent and the timing of the daytrips was very well planned. Our driver Charles was reliable, friendly and we felt safe in his car at all times. We could not believe Uganda has so much variety in flora and fauna! Just amazing!

Awesome, patient with clients & budget clients treated like queens too via customer care, i loved it
I love, love my experience with them. They are so professional via customer care & handling different individual personalities of their clients. Patient with ladies since we take our time,usually have lots to complain but today i found nothing to complain about. My trip was a budget trip but got services onpoint 100% comfortable, social distancing transport, cool photography, professional guide. Was very lazy in mylife to go hiking before but when i tried it, i loved each moment thanks to Go explore safari, all my special epic moments were captured on camera by them without asking. Now i hv memories to see some thing positive about 2020.
