Everything was impeccable
I went to Kenya and Uganda with this tour operator and everything was perfect: the tour was focused on what I wanted to see, the guides are friendly, professional and well-informed about the nature, the environment and the wildlife.
I surely recommend Around Africa Safaris to all my friends and people who want to experience an African safari.

I have been to African gameparks 60+ times over 30 years; the trip to Uganda was one of the best.
It was one of my best trips, not just because of gorilla tracking, but because the guide Jonah, who was with the four us for 21 days, is the best ever (and I have had some excellent ones) His knowledge of all things Ugandan is encyclopedic, but more importantly his skill in finding wild life is phenomenal. How he spotted distant lions up in tree branches was amazing. A wonderful gentleman. Arrangements made by the agent were excellent, first class accommodations, good food (including fried grasshoppers, BY REQUEST) and efficient transfers. Uganda does not have the game quantity of other parts of East and South Africa (after the Amin era depredations) but has representation of enough, plus gorillas, chimps, shoebills, Nile and mountain scenery, and is uncrowded.

Discovering the pearl of Africa
Around Africa Safaris came recommended through a good friend, which thus also set our expectations very high. The booking process itself, which we handled entirely through email, went super smooth. Email queries are replied too, back the backoffice, almost at lightspeed.
After a long travel we landed at Entebbe international airport and our guide, Milton Saturday, was awaiting us with a welcoming nameplate. Milton drove us to the first hotel where he gave us an overview of what to expect the coming days. 11 days later the very same Milton, whom has been our guide for the entire holiday, also dropped us back at the aiport for our return journey. During these 11 days we simply had a fantastic time!!
Around Africa Safaris provided us an unforgettable Africa adventure. Their guides are knowledgeable, reliable and helpful. All is possible in Africa, and Milton Saturday in our case did walk the talk.
2 of the many examples I recall which underline their service:
On one of the bumpy drives our sparewheel-holder, at the back of the car, disconnected from the jeep. The spare wheel was quickly mounted on top of the car and dispite the car was still in perfect condition the office did send a replacement vehicle overnight, costing them many hours of driving.
A second example is where a bottle of local honey (a gift for those left at home) got stolen by baboons breaking in into our lodge. Milton arranged for us to get a new bottle of honey from a village close by.
If you look for a travel agency and guide for your Uganda encounter look no further, Around Africa Safaris it should be!

A very professional and trustworthy tour operator
It's highly comforting to travel with a reliable tour operator in a beautiful country that enables you to enjoy all the splendour without worring about a single thing. Around Africa Safaris definitely exceeded our expectations. There are a few factors that decide whether your trip is a success or not. One of those factors are the vehicle and the guide. Our 4WD was spacious, comfortable and clean, and Saturday Milton was our experienced and knowledgable guide who did an amazing job. Furthermore, any little problem was solved instantly. Around Africa Safaris has a very dedicated team making sure you get the best experience possible.
As for Uganda as a destination, a must visit for anyone who seeks unique encounters! The country offers wonderful safaris and unforgettable chimpanzee and gorilla trekkings. Also the local people are friendly, the landscapes are divers and there are fantastic lodges with a nice atmosphere and tasty food. All of that without the crowdy tourism you see coming up for example in Tanzania or Kenya.
Thank you Around Africa Safaris for giving us memories that will last for a lifetime!

Beautiful tour across Uganda
Our recent tour across Uganda and several of its national parks would have not been the same without Milton Saturday, our skilled driver and guide of Around Africa Safaris! His explanations and suggestions helped us to better comprehend animals and places we have seen and people we have met. His efforts to make us feel more comfortable with travels, food and accommodations were laudable! Furthermore, his patience and knowledge often made us able to locate and watch animals long before the arrival of other travellers, with all the joy and quietness required in these situations: this is priceless and gave us moments that we shall treasure forever! I won't mention examples of what we have seen, I only say that I warmly recommend a tour in Uganda and nearby countries with Milton and Around Africa Safaris! Great job, guys!

An amazing week-perfectly planned and full of incredible experiences!
We had a wonderful week in Uganda and Rwanda in November, 2016. Our time we spent there was filled with incredible impressions and great experiences- a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
The tour was exactly customized and it was planned perfectly- from the beginning to the end.
Our guide Milton was very attentive, friendly, had a very large knowledge and was always open for our questions. We felt all the time very well cared and we would always choose Around Africa Safaris again!
Thank you so much!

Around Africa Safaris is tops
I contacted Explore Plus Travel in South Africa during the beginning of the year, provided them with some of the National Park names and my bucket list items that I would like to experience in Uganda. They have put together an amazing itinerary for me. From the moment I arrived in Entebbe on 4th June 2022, I experienced Murchison Falls National Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, Kibale National Forest, Lake Mburo, Bwindi National Forest to the Mbamba Swamps on the last morning of 15th June 2022.
Explore Plus Travel arranged these two weeks in Uganda in conjunction with Around Africa Safaris company who provided us with a driver for the two weeks and being our go-to-people while in Uganda. David Ijuka (our driver) is a great young man, his knowledge of his country, the birdlife and National Parks are above board. He always went out of his way to find the birds and animals on our to-see list for the day. The gravel roads in Uganda aren’t for the faint hearted but he managed them like a pro. We received our daily bush massages
