4 days Gorilla safari
I cant say much on our previous safari but but how amazingly Brian is at his job he organized everything as stated in the our itinerary and he was very punctual in picking us up at the airport we stayed in a very nice hotel in kampala later the following morning drove to bwindi forest for the gorillas passing through beautiful highlands of the country Uganda is so beautiful and the people are so friendly we don't think this was going to be much fun. we tracked the gorillas in bwindi and these were so good we saw the young ones play as well and they were the best highlight of the safari our lodges were so good even depending on the amount we paid goexplore we never expected this kind of services but everything went well as we were on our safari thank you so much Brian for the great gorilla holiday me and my wife shall definitely recommend you to colleagues

Fantastic
I wanted to add an addendum to my previous review. Goexplore provided outstanding service. The accommodations were comfortable, clean and well balanced to give a real feel for African experience, adventure and western needs. By the way, we didn't not have a bad meal time the entire trip. the driver Dickson was knowledgeable, proficient and definitely knew his way around and was a good man. He threw me a bit when he claimed hippos and crocodiles were both reptiles but I am not sure he wasn't pulling my leg.
It is moments like that you bring home, little connections thank you Brian for the well organised safaris.

Awesome
The holiday obviously benefited locals, involved in tourism most. The community walks where we learnt more about local ways of life and saw life up close were simple and were of benefit to the local community. they were interesting and seemed to reinforce pride in local ways and tradition. The gorilla and Chimpanzee tracking helps preserve and conserve the groups of chimps and gorillas which are now protected in the natural rain forest environment. we thank you Goexplore Safaris for organizing for us this kind of responsible safari where we learnt so much on the trips and our guide Dickson was amazingly knowledgeable.. we recommend the service.. BRAVO!!!

Fabulous
IT DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER THAN GO EXPLORE.
Working with Brian to plan this safari was a breeze. He always replied to my emails in a timely manner and gave suggestions to work within our budget and timeline. Once in Uganda we did not have to worry about any details as he took great care of us. We stayed at Paraa Safari Lodge, and it was just gorgeous. The accommodations were beautiful, clean and the food was great. There was something for everyone (and this comes from a picky eater!) He also made sure we had the best guide for our game drive (his name was Dickson, and he was so much pleasurable!). Brian is a great communicator and he knows Uganda well. He is dependable and steadfast. This is very important when planning a safari from afar, as roads and travel in Uganda can be treacherous. You want someone who knows them well, and this company fits the bill. As for the safari itself - you won't ever have another experience like it. There just aren't any words! You will see so many animals and enjoy God's creation. I won't lie, it is expensive. My husband and I saved for a while to afford this trip. We are experience people rather than "things" people, but it was worth every penny! We can't wait to go back. Our Next trip with GoExplore will go to Kidepo sometime next year.

Excellent
We had the most wonderful experience on safari in Murchison falls National Park! Chris and Brian took excellent care of us and did everything possible to make sure that the safari was all that we wanted it to be. Chris was very kind, considerate and professional. He knows his way around the park very well. The wildlife was abundant and absolutely spectacular and we were able to see all the major wildlife up close and personal, including the lions!!!!! it was truly one of the most incredible and wonderful experiences of my lifetime. if i am fortunate enough to return to Uganda i will definitely use GoExplore Safaris for my next trip.

Outstanding service from incredible staff
Brian and his staff succeeded in providing myself and a large group of friends with an unforgettable few days in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda. We were given a jam-packed itinerary that included a boat trip on the Kazinga Channel, chimpanzee trekking and several game drives throughout the national park.
The service was truly brilliant and our guides, Brian, Joseph and Charles couldn't have been more helpful. Before we even met Brian, we found him to be very accommodating while planning an itinerary for us that suited both our interests and our budget.
It made a big difference to our safari to have staff that were friendly, caring and could give us so much information. We were incredibly impressed with the time that we spent with GoExplore Safaris and we had a truly unforgettable experience

An Incredible and Breathtaking Experience
I went on a Safari as part of a group of 12 with Go Explore Safaris in early August 2018. It was an incredible experience and one I would not change in any way.
Our safari was based in the beautiful Queen Elizabeth National Park. We saw so many amazing animals such as Warhogs, Buffaloes, Chimpanzees, Water bucks, Uganda Kobs, Leopards, Hippos, Lions, Monkeys, Rhinos, Elephants and more. Go Explore Safaris did their absolute best to ensure we saw these animals while out exploring.
On day one we were handed an outstanding itenery which included so many activities, such as multiple game drives, chimpanzee trekking and a trip on a boat on a lake. It was all very well organized and so much was packed into our limited time there.
We stayed at Buffalo Safari Lodge which is located in Queen Elizabeth National Park. We were treated like royalty. The breakfast, lunch and suppers were delicious. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The views were unbelievable. The staff were very friendly and willing to do anything for us. You really felt at one with the wildlife in the park.
Brian was our main tour guide and was the one who organized the entire trip for us. He was fantastic. He was very easy to get along with and extremely efficient in every aspect of the Safari. He could not have done more to ensure we had the very best experience of Queen Elizabeth National Park. I could not fault Brian in any way, he is what all Safari men should aspire to be.
I would recommend Go Explore Safaris to anyone interested in doing a Safari in Africa and I honestly don’t think anyone could be disappointed with their service.

it was very good trip with go explore safaris in tanzania
I would be so naïve if I had never planned this trip to Tanzania with this company after a period of searching on trip advisor and other travel websites I found go explore safaris and sent them my trip request for me and my daughters as they had gotten holidays from there college and I decided to plan for them a trip to Africa. Tanzania was the main destination so brian was the main correspondence person who responded to all my emails, he gave us a very nice tailor made trip proposal for 11 days in Tanzania visiting all the top destinations in Tanzania. so after a few emails and couple of questions we trusted this company and made our trip meet our expectations. my kids were so happy we had the very best of the trip we visited tarangire national park, Serengeti, lake manyara and Ngorongoro reserve which were so much full of wildlife and the evolving masai cultural visit in olpopongi in Arusha the lodges we slept in were very nice and clean me and my kids shared a very nice family room at Serengeti Serena lodge which had the best views in the plains hamza our guide was a very experienced driver guide and had a lot of information about his country and was happy sharing every moment making the trip so much fun I definitely have to recommend the services of your company to anyone travelling here in east Africa and looking forward to coming back to track the gorillas in uganda.
