Trip of a life time with great guide but some improvement in scheduling and meal times.
The quality of the accomodations exceeded our expectations. Actual safari days took us to more animals than we could have expected. Beach day was great way to unwind after 4 days of safari and travel time. Maasai lodge visit was the highlight of the trip. Having a box lunch in airport waiting rooms was not acceptable to me on an otherwise luxury trip.

Gorilla Trek & Batwa Experience That Did Not Happen (Twice)
During the planning stages, Bernard went above & beyond to meet our expectations. He showed empathy & compassion throughout. We knew the $700.00 gorilla permits would not be refundable, but went to a good cause. We have traveled in all 7 continents (Africa twice, India twice), all 50 states (Hawaii twice), 11 of 13 Canadian provinces & territory & 9 Caribbean islands, a total of 25 countries. I have never done a review in all of the travels, but Bernard's outstanding service makes it a pleasure to do so. The gorilla trek & Batwa experience would have been added to some of our other adventures including 2 floe-edge expeditions from Arctic Circle to open sea, 27 Bengal tiger safari drives & 10 Antarctic zodiac landings. Although my degree is in education, my minor is sociology, so I was really looking to spend time with the Batwa people. There is no doubt this would have been a memorable trip & I would book with Bernard again. In the end it came down to our ages & health, soon to be age 70 & 71. Please note that trip was scheduled for July 2021 & that I had to use an earlier date for this review to go through.

Nziza Hospitality made a believer out of this first time Africa visitor to Uganda
From the moment we decided to book our trip to safari in Uganda and trek the famous Mountain Gorillas, the Nziza Hospitality team was in frequent contact with us. They not only answered all our questions, but sent us interesting pieces of information, videos, and other tidbits. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we were greeted with warmth and friendship by the our tour leader and our driver. Each experience was curated uniquely for us, immersed us in the culture and made us feel like royalty. The team even jumped through hoops to get us our required Covid tests as the requirements for travel changed in transit. We couldn’t be more pleased - so much so that we booked 2 more trips with Nziza so you’ll see more reviews from me! As a bonus, members of the team have shared their contact information with us and continue to stay in touch, weeks after our original trip - even those members which will not be part of our future tours. We truly feel special.

Amazing care for your clients !!
I bought Kilimanjaro climbing and 4-days Safari tour. Shortly speaking – strongly recommend this company. Company owner Humphry was very nice, helped in all requests, everything was on time, at price we initially agreed so I have no single reason to complain.
If you decide to climb Kili, ask for guide William, this is the coolest guy, I wouldn’t ever got summit without him. Safari was also perfect, we spotted all big five, spent night among wild animals, saw beautiful views.
I already recommended company to some of my friends so will be happy to share my good experience with you.
AMAZING itinerary and experience
I traveled with Nziza to Uganda for 6 days in March 2021. It was my first time in the country and did not know what to expect. Bernard put together a cohesive, exciting and full itinerary, and even before the departure I received a lot of information, had the opportunity to ask all my questions and this included also recommendations about essential information about Uganda, what to expect, what to pack, etc...
When I made it to Entebbe and during the whole trip, I was completely overwhelmed with the country itself, it was amazing to see so many different climates and opportunities. We saw hills, crater lakes, cities, savannah, rivers, Lake Victoria, the source of the Nile, the Equator... and most of all, the jungle and forests with sights of chimps and Gorillas, who let us observe them. It was overall an incredible stay, and I found that traveling now (during COVID times) was especially interesting as there was no other tourists, we had the opportunity to really sink in the culture, the people, the sights and experiences.
Throughout the stay, Bernard and his team took amazing care of us and we loved our experience from A to Z. Highly recommend visiting Uganda with Nziza, it was amazing!

When my wife and I booked our trip in December of 2019, there was no way we could have known that a pandemic was around the corner. Our trip was effectively canceled before it started and we found it impossible to get refunded from airlines, hotels, and travel insurance. Big companies took our money and ran.
The largest investment we made was with Nziza Hospitality for our tour. We were scared we would lose thousands of dollars that had been saved up for years. Bernard didn't allow that to happen. He tirelessly worked over 6 months to refund every penny and kept me updated sometimes weekly on the progress. I have never been so impressed with the integrity of a business as I was with Nziza and its owner Bernard. Bernard lives a continent away and still chose to be honest, even when his business suffered during these difficult COVID times. Never has a business that I haven't used, come so highly recommended by me. If you're considering booking a tour with Nziza Hospitality, do it. You will be in the best, most honest hands around.

Nziza is an excellent tour operator that provides superb service and outstanding personalization.
I had the opportunity to go on a tour in Uganda with Nziza in March of 2021. Even though it was a more complicated time to travel, they made it absolutely seamless. From the moment you arrive, you do not worry about anything. Your every need is met, and you have an incredible team at your service. We had a wonderful experience throughout Uganda, and the Nziza team provided us with amazing experiences. They listened when we had concerns or questions. They were able to adjust to any of our needs. They even made testing to get back into the US simple. I cannot express how much I appreciated their incredible hospitality. I can't wait to travel with them again, and I would encourage others to join them on a safari without any hesitation.

My experience with nziza hospitality was a dream come true. I loved every minute of my trip and will definitely be doing it again. I recommend Bernard and his services to everyone looking to come visit Africa, you will not find a better guide! He's the best in the business and is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Kenya Spectacular
Kenya was my fourth safari with Nziza Hospitality and it didn’t disappoint.
Every detail was taken care of down to the smallest things.
Some of the highlights were a dinner in a cave at Diani Beach and and outdoor bush dinner under the stars. I love that he creates custom experiences that the other companies don’t do.
Jeeps were in great condition and our guides were knowledgeable and knew the area and the terrain perfectly.
We experienced surprise upgrades at hotels and the choices of hotels were perfect for our budget and needs.
Bernard Nziza knows how to design the custom safari to meet your needs that is why I am returning to South Africa with him later this year.

Such an extraordinary experience with Bernard & Team
I've just returned from a 10 day luxury Kenyan safari (with 2 nights at the beach) arranged by Nziza and Bernard...I just can't say enough about my (our) experience. From beginning to end - the pre trip paperwork, the caliber of our accommodations and guides - transfers, game drives, meals - special surprises and thoughtful gestures; amazing execution. This journey was more than I dreamed possible and I am SO glad I did not put it off any longer!
Asante Sana. (Was delighted to discover that 'Hakuna Matata' IS indeed a Swahili phrase for 'there are no troubles'!)
