Worth every penny! Best safari team I've travelled with. Have never let me down!
I have travelled many times with Letaka Safaris and found the organisation team, the safari guides, the support team and incredible cooks and the leadership of Brent and Grant to be second to none. I have been on many safaris all over the world and yet return again and again to Letaka for the full package of confidence in all the organisation, the friendliness, care and attention in the field and the knowledge and enthusiasm of the guides. Letaka Safaris is able, every time, to find off -grid new adventures, new learning of the wildlife and exciting experiences in my favourite Africa destinations. Drinking a sundowner G&T, overlooking a huge African sky before a delicious 3 course meal conjured magically from an open fire and finally retiring to a well appointed comfortable tent is a must for every wildlife enthusiast. I'm planning my next trip already -look out Letaka!!!

Great safari experience
A great safari experience with African Sermon Safaris! Communication ahead of the safari were seamless, all my requests were taken into account and the necessary info provided ahead of the trip. The pick up at Namanga border (coming from TZ) went timely and smoothly, the car was comfortable and felt safe. The lodges were suitable for this kind of trip, with a great view of the Kilimandjaro from the first lodge at Amboseli and an amazing experience watching wild game bathe in the pond from the second one at Tsavo West. Importantly I had a great time with my driver guide Peter, who is very knowledgeable about wildlife and flora, knows the best routes, drives safely and is an agreeable travel companion. In would recommend this agency

Great safari to Masai Mara with a perfect organization and perfect driver
Very good and quick Chat by email in advance; all questions were answered properly. Very good organization throughout the Safari. Our Driver John did a perfect Job: very carefully in driving due to rainy season and excellent guide in the wildlife. Accommodation in the tent was Basic but ok and clean; Food provided good. All day game drives were perfect with a petty picnic in the middle of Masai mara.

A friendly and familiar experience that set them apart from the hundreds of providers.
It does not take long to realize most operators offer a similar set of itineraries so I will not be giving a review on the National Parks or the Gorilla/Chimpanzee trekking part as this is more about why I would recommend Uganda Family tours above the other operators.
I first wanted to go with a company owned and run by locals, as opposed to an outsider/multinational company, so Uganda receives as much of our fees as possible. You will take so much from Uganda in unforgettable memories that it is only fair that it is Uganda who gets your money.
There are also some benefits of having a local operator as they provide the focus you want on their region and not just having the financial gain in mind. From start to finish, we interacted with 3 members of the Uganda Family Tours (Jackson, Living, and Johnatan), and each one of them displayed great pride in their country and what it has to offer.
Jackson is the founder with whom I interacted during the booking process. He was very professional, patient, and detailed from the beginning when there was some confusion from my bank on the final payment. Jackson was quick to help and provide peace of mind in a process that I always feel a bit nervous about (international wiring). Also, I had some last-minute changes to our itinerary (including adding one member), and without hesitation, Jackson provided solutions right away.
Jackson created a perfect itinerary for us and made sure all accommodations and activities were as we expected.
Living was our guide and we had Johnathan as an apprentice as well. Living is an experienced guide with great energy and knowledge of the different aspects of Uganda. He loves his country and it was great to see that he is still truly amazed by its landscapes, fauna, and people; His energy is contagious. His knowledge of the parks was at times the reason we were able to witness closely some of the wildlife and to optimize our time.
Johnathan was a friendly addition to our tour and a very helpful young man with a great desire to learn. We will see how he will become a top Guide in Uganda.

Suricata Safari are the best!
We took the 7-day tour with Ezequiel and James!
The experience with Suricata Safari was great! They were very helpful and kind throughout the experience, from scheduling to the end of the Safari.
The tents we used at the camp were quite comfortable too!
Ezequiel is a very charismatic, kind and fun guide! He is very intelligent and was always willing to reach the best spots to ensure the best view of the animals. We got some great photos and saw the big 5. I definitely recommend Ezequiel as a guide!
James cooks wonderfully! Every day we had fresh, healthy, tasty and very filling food. Furthermore, he is very kind and made all the difference in our experience! You will definitely be surprised by it!
In short, I highly recommend Suricata Safari! I wish you much success!

Amazing experience! Big five and all!
The experience was great from the beginning! We were guided by Ezekiel which was so patient and helpful. He made his best to give us an amazing experience, explained a lot about wildlife and culture. Besides he’s an excellent person, making the experience very pleasant.
We were also accompanied by James, a amazing cook, that did a numerous of delicious dishes, so good seasoned and presented.
The program we were offered was perfect, the car conditions were good and everything exceeded our expectations.
At the end of the tour, since our flight had changed, we were offered a hotel room for a shower and some rest before the transfer to the airport.

Magic Tanzania
We just finished a breathtaking safari in Tanzania with Abie and I couldn't be more excited to share my experience! Abie was an exceptional guide and travel companion, always attentive to our needs and desires.
From the immense plains of the Serengeti to the spectacular landscapes of the Ngorongoro Crater, every moment was magical. We were lucky enough to spot all the Big Five.
The lodges and campsites that were chosen for us were simply incredible, offering comfort and luxury immersed in the African wilderness.
We can't wait to return and experience more unforgettable adventures with you. Thank you for making our trip so special❤️
