This was truly a trip of a lifetime!
Truly a trip of a lifetime! Anne assisted us in creating an amazing itinerary for 2 different experiences: A safari in Tanzania, and wildlife and Gorilla experiences in Uganda. The accommodations were wonderful, the food delicious, the wild life amazing, and most of all, our guides were fabulous. Abdullah lead the way in the Serengeti. His knowledge, experience, and dedication as a guide was remarkable, especially as he drove us to the Great Migration of Wildebeests crossing the Maya River. Spectacular! Dalson met us in Uganda. His smile was instantly contagious, making it easy to fall in love with the beauty of Uganda and the Ugandan people. Make sure you drink coffee in the community, weave baskets and dance with the women, and visit the Banana Man for some Banana Gin! Walking with the Silverback Gorillas is indescribable. Awe inspiring to say the least. You will be in excellent hands with Mega Wild Safari. Really. Both guides went above and beyond, and are remarkable human beings. Anne was always willing to answer our questions, no matter how small. We felt so blessed by all of their care. Thank you!!

Memories of a Lifetime with Mega Wild Safaris
We had an incredible 15-day adventure with Mega Wild Safaris, exploring the captivating landscapes and wildlife of East Africa. From start to finish, this journey exceeded our expectations in every way.
Anne, the tour coordinator, deserves special recognition for her exceptional service. She was not only responsive but also genuinely attentive to our preferences and budget. Anne worked tirelessly to create an itinerary that fulfilled our dream safari while staying within our budget.
In Uganda, our guide James quickly became more than just a guide; he became a dear friend. His deep knowledge of the region, combined with his fun personality, made our 9 days in Uganda unforgettable. James introduced us to local people, took us to vibrant markets, and shared incredible insights about the wildlife. We were amazed by how unbelievably close we were able to witness the lions, elephants, buffalos and other animals, thanks to James' expertise in finding the best animal viewing spots. He ensured our comfort and enjoyment throughout the trip.
The gorilla and chimpanzee tracking were truly once-in-a-lifetime experiences, leaving us in awe of Uganda’s natural wonders.
Another enjoyable part of our journey was the community tour in Kibale, where we engaged with the locals, learned how to make banana gin, danced, made coffee, and wove baskets. This experience brought us closer to the people of Uganda.
In Tanzania, our guide was truly fantastic, with a passion for his job that shone through. He always made sure we were in the best spot to take the perfect photo and shared fascinating stories about the wildlife. We explored Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park, witnessing the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration and even seeing the thrilling Mara River crossing. We saw all the animals we hoped to, including the elusive leopard, serval, and tree-climbing lions.
We had the time of our lives with Mega Wild Safaris, and we genuinely recommend them to anyone seeking an unforgettable African safari experience. If you're still unsure which tour operator to choose, you won't regret selecting Mega Wild Safaris. They go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfectly arranged for an exceptional adventure.
Thank you, Mega Wild Safaris, for making our dream safari a reality!

Reliable, flexible and a good experience.
We went on a four day safari through Akagera National Park. The organization and communication was problem-free and very reliable. Our expectations were exceeded. A spontaneous change of plan due to a participant's illness was possible without any problems. It was a fantastic tour and a great experience. We would book with mega wild safari again at any time.
Thank you very much Anne and Irere!

Unbelievable Safari experience in Uganda and Tanzania
Had an incredible 12-day expedition with Mega Wild Safaris, exploring the wildlife and vibrant culture. A special thank you to Anne for her exceptional service. The journey exceeded all expectations and was a memorable experience.
The guide in Tanzania was exceptional. He was genuine and had a passion for his work. He was accommodating and flexible throughout the trip. He shared enthralling tales about the wildlife. It was a truly remarkable experience, seeing glimpses of abundant wildlife, including the elusive rhino.
In Uganda, the guide Dalson, not only exhibited genuine kindness but also became a cherished friend over our journey. His profound knowledge of the region, coupled with his engaging personality, made the 7-day Uganda adventure truly unforgettable.
I wholeheartedly would recommend Mega Wild Safaris for anyone in search of an unforgettable African safari. Their commitment and dedication guarantee for an exceptional adventure.

Trip of a Lifetime In East Africa with Mega Wild Safaris
We cannot recommend Mega Wild Safaris enough. From the moment we started communicating with the managing director Anne Bright, we knew we were in good hands. She even agreed to speak with us relatively late at night for her to answer some preliminary questions before we even plan the trip.
We were incredibly pleased with both the selection of destinations and lodgings chosen for our trip. Our guides for Tanzania and Uganda (Anwar Razak in Tanzania and James Marunga in Uganda), were knowledgeable, friendly and simply easy to get along with. We’ll definitely request them as guides for any return trips to these beautiful countries.
Even when one unexpected change in plans came up, the managing director was responsive via email and made things right in a very short amount of time. We greatly appreciate their ability to pivot because of an unexpected change in plans that was in no way the tour company’s fault.
Simply put, we could not have asked for a better trip to East Africa, and Mega Wild Safaris made it happen. We will remember this trip and these people for the rest of our lives.

Fantastic! They proveed to be 5-star and so much more
Went to Kenya and Uganda for an 11 day safari. Since day one their attention was great. They structured a nice safari to diferent national parks, each one better than the previous and ending with the AMAZING Masai Mara. Hotels were great and guides knew quite well about each park and the animals we could spot on each. We ended seeing all the animals we were looking for, so we were quite happy about it. Overall, i would definetly rate them 5 stars. Since day one (before doing any payment) the communication with the staff was impressive, which at the end gave us the confidence to book with them. Would definetly do it again! As for our gorilla trekking trip, we saw rhem around 30min into the trekking, which was fantastic. Overall, really happy with the trip we had.

A Wonderful Experience with a very professional company
This is our second safari in East Africa. On the first, which was organised via an Australian company I realised that all the organisation and work was done by the locals on the ground. So on our return I wanted to organise the safari directly with an East African company. From my very first interactions with Mega Wild I knew that they were a dedicated and professional company. Anne was just delightful to deal with. She patiently guided me through the planning process and helped me design the safari we were after. On arrival in Uganda we found ourselves in the care of our guide Dalson and that’s when the fun really began. He was fabulous company, gave us great guidance and was an excellent driver on the challenging roads. We always felt safe and well cared for and had an absolute ball in the process. In Rwanda, our guide James also looked after us with care and professionalism and showed us his country with great pride. Our time in Uganda and Rwanda was simply amazing. Friendly people everywhere, extraordinary landscapes and of course - the animals. Our gorilla trek and chimpanzee trek were once in a lifetime experiences we’ll never forget. It was as great pleasure working and travelling with Anne and her team. Mega Wild is terrific family company based in Kampala. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Accommodating
Where else can you walk to see rhinos, chimpanzees and gorillas within 30 feet in the wild. We enjoyed safaris, boat excursions, local arts and crafts and occasionally relaxing in the pool. It was hot, bumpy and a fair bit of driving but was well worth it all for what we got to experience. Would highly recommend Mega Wilds - the guides were great.
