Extremely service minded and fully understood our needs
From our very first mail contact TravelExploreAfrica fully understood our need. We needed someone to take us around to visit national parks in Uganda and as we were traveling with two small children we needed to take it a bit slow, with a reasonable level of comfort and to a reasonable price. We were not disappointed!
The agency put together an itinerary for us, was fast in replying on all mails and always very service minded. We visited Murchison falls and Ziwa Rhino Sanctury. Our driver Charles was wonderful. Fun, informative, good with the children, a good driver and very service minded and determined to make our trip memorable. We stayed in wonderful lodges, had marvelous food every day and we saw so much fantastic nature, met wonderful people and saw an incredible number of wild animals including rhinos, giraffes, hippos, monkeys, crocodiles, etc.
Cannot do anything else than fully recommend everybody to visit Uganda and use TravelExploreAfrica to help plan the visit! Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Mountain Gorilla in Bwindi Impenetrable National park
Travel Explore Africa Safaris (T.E.A) planned for us a great safari 8 days/7 night’s safaris to Track in PNV and Bwindi impenetrable National park. Everything was well planned and organized -- which we appreciated! And, we highly recommend Wilson Bisaso as a driver! Not only is he an excellent driver with a very good solid car, he is God fearing and very personable and knowledgeable. He is willing to go the "extra mile" for the customer. Really his calm demeanor and reliable services made our tour/trip seamless.
For lodging, we loved the Mountain gorilla view lodge and the Chameleon Hill Inn. These were both highlights. We did two gorilla treks -- one at Volcanoes Park in Rwanda and one at the Bwindi Forest in Uganda. Both were amazing. The guides and rangers were very informative. We were glad to be able to trek in both countries, as the experiences were different. If you go on these "hikes", bring hiking boots if possible, as the terrain is very slippery. There are no "trails" -- the guide simply clears the forest using a machete. And, the gorillas don't follow any set routes. Be sure to hire a porter as well. These local people are very helpful and they depend on the income.
