Best Safari for Uganda Gorillas
I recently travelled with Fede tours to bwindi for gorillas it was awesome seeing the gorillas in their natural habitat it was amazing seeing those giant animals. The safari was well organised and we were satisfied with the services. I would like to express my gratitude to Fede tours and recommend them to the rest of the world.
Thank you Fede!

Great safari with excellent guides
The entire safari experience was fantastic. Martin was in touch immediately after I requested a quote, and provided perfect explanations of all options and details of the safari. The 3-day safari tour was perfect. The guides made sure that everything was planned perfectly. They were incredibly courteous, friendly and professional. The entire tour was fantastic and we got to see everything we wanted to see in the 3 days. They made sure no time was wasted on anything that wasn’t of interest. I would highly recommend Fede Tours and would definitely book with them again for future safaris.

Great operator with wonderful knowledge
This was a first safari experience for my girlfriends and I. We decided to take an epic adventure and treat ourselves for our 40th birthday. We booked a 3 day safari with Fede Tours and it was nothing short of spectacular. I connected with Martin right away and he sent me various options for our lodging. We went with the mid-range and he handled the booking for us. I did have to send a wire transfer for a deposit, which for me was a bit of a hassle so be prepared, but he received it so I was glad it all worked out. His partner Fredrick picked us up from the airport and we began our safari in the Amboseli region. Our lodge had stunning views of Mt. Kilimanjaro! Fredrick was so knowledgeable on the animals and their whereabouts as well as their movements. We got to experience so many animals and learn fun facts about them all. Amboseli is an elephant paradise where you are guaranteed to see them all throughout the day. We also saw animals on our way in and out the reserve roaming freely. Frederick was always willing to stop for us to get the perfect shot or experience the perfect moment. We literally were able to show up with everything planned for us and just soak it all in. They provided waters, a light snack and binoculars way fancier than mine! I would absolutely book with Fede Tours again to tour another region of Kenya. Thank you Martin & Frederick for giving us ladies an incredible experience!

Simply outstanding, from booking, to the tour, to our final moments in Kenya!
Thanks to SafariBookings, we found Fede Tours. I knew nothing about booking Safaris and had only public reviews to help me make a decision as to whether we would use Fede or one of the others we had sourced quotations from. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive. In fact, with no negative reviews, I wondered if the reviews were real… so, a little digging, and reading other reviews Fede’s reviewers had written, inspired substantial confidence. That, coupled with my experience of the booking process, is all I needed to be confident we had made a good choice.
Martin’s quotation came in quickly and was competitively priced. While some companies provide long, templated quotations (often with photos and other distractions), the quote I received was concise, complete, and easily understandable.
I communicated with Martin via email. Morning. Noon. Night. Responses to my queries came quickly.
Upon arrival at the airport (at 1am on Saturday!), Martin picked us up in the LandCruiser Safari that we would use to head to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and around Nairobi. He dropped us off at our Nairobi hotel where we would stay until Sunday morning.
The one thing I should have done in advance was establish a WhatsApp conversation with Martin in advance… our flight was slightly delayed and being in touch that way would have been easier to alert him. I sent him an email upon arrival and quickly got in touch via WhatsApp to confirm our arrival and we arranged to meet right at the car, steps away from the exit at arrivals.
We had scheduled a day in Nairobi after landing and were met at our Nairobi Hotel on Sunday morning by Martin, who would introduce us to Frederick, our driver and guide for the week…. And what a spectacular guide he was.
Without saying too much:
Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli: each offer their own flavor or magic. This was truly an amazing experience for me and my family.
Frederick was constantly attentive - to us, to the radio, and to spotting wildlife (all while keeping us safe while driving). His almost two decades of experience truly shine through and his enthusiasm for sharing the experience with his guests was truly special. We all appreciated his explanations, the history he was able to share and his vast and specific knowledge of the animals we encountered.
For example: As we encountered a lone male lion on day 1, he wondered where the other two lions he is usually spotted with were. We stayed a little while to watch his movements and Frederick was quickly able to recognize when the lion began calling for his buddies, so we waited… and, from afar, they came.
To have someone that has intimate knowledge of individual animals, family units, feeding and resting grounds, felt like a safari cheat-code. The kids felt like we had “won” Safari.
The same is true as we monitored a mating pair of lions, tracked a parade of over 30 elephants (and were set-up for a close encounter as they crossed), encountered a leopard that had just hunted (it’s prey was still in the tree), tracked a cheetah through the grass, and watched as a Black Rhino crossed in front of our vehicle.
Of course, the national parks and reserves are not zoos, so no one could ever guarantee a sighting, but my sense is that our guide had all of the characteristics of a guide that would maximize the probability of an excellent safari. I cannot say it enough, enthusiasm makes a difference. And, more than “checking off the big five”, our experience allowed us to learn about behaviors, inter- and intra- species dynamics, and the rich history of the parks… challenges and opportunities.
In the way of lodging, the camps and lodges Martin arranged for us were all quite comfortable. Food was good, rooms were clean, locations were convenient, and they were all accommodating to our family of 5.
My sense is that Fede Tours is a smaller company that relies on a great price and excellent personal service to keep customers coming. If this is true, they deliver on both… 100%.
I highly recommend Fede Tours, without reservation. I’ve already begun sharing their contacts with friends and family. I also cannot wait to get back… every day was different and exciting!
A big thank you from me and my family to Martin and Frederick for an amazing experience.

Unforgettable experience!
My wife and I went a 6-day safari organized by FEDE TOUR for our honeymoon. Martin organized wonderful safari that was far beyond our expectations. He was always responsive and communication was very smooth. The itinerary was flexibly organized according to our requests. All of the accommodations were really clean with wonderful views and excellent food.
Sam, our driver and guide, was absolutely great. He gave us unforgettable memories as he promised. He was unbelievably knowledgeable about the animals and their habitats, and extremely good at spotting animals hiding in the wild. Thanks to him, we saw so many animals, a leopard eating a reedbuck on tree, mother and baby rhinos eating grass, a heard of Rothschild’s giraffes crossing the road, mother and baby cheetahs walk along with our car. The every moment is the best memory that we will never forget.
Fede makes your dreams come true. I really recommand !
THANK YOU AGAIN !

Incredible experience, well worthy of a honeymoon!
We went on a 7 day safari with Frederick, organised by Martin - both are wonderful humans. Frederick spent 7 days with us and has such a passion for life that it's infectious. I don't think we stopped smiling all trip!
We started with 2 days in Amboseli, 1 in lake Naivasha, 2 in Masai Mara and then our final day / night was in Lake Nakuru.
It was honestly the most incredible experience - we saw more animals than we could have imagined, but what made it extra special was that Frederick always had the welfare of the animals in mind; he would avoid crowing in with other jeeps and often take alternate routes to ensure the experience felt more unique and was better for the wildlife.
100% would recommend to anyone who wanted to go on safari - not just "you should go on safari" or "this is a good itinerary", but "if you go on safari with Fede Tours with Frederick as your driver, your experience will be incredible".
Accomodation amazing in all 4 places, food was excellent with a lot of choice, and 7 days was exactly the right amount of time. Would recommend the jeep over the van as it gives you more mobility in the parks and a nicer ride - well worth it given the amount of time you spend in the vehicle. 10/10 would recommend.

Excellent
I have just returned from a safari with my friends. Fede is super organized, competent and really well experienced. Everything was perfect: travels, accomodation and parks. One of the best travels I have ever done.
