Mini safari
Feb 2017 I was in Uganda for a small getaway and decided last minute to go on a local safari. Kisoro tours were recommended. I told Dan what I would like and he put forward a couple of packages, taking into consideration my timeframe and budget.
I chose Lake Mburo national park with overnight accommodation . We went on safari the first day and saw a variety of animals in there habitat, then finished off with a boat trip on rage river and was amazed by the wildlife on and around us. The evening was spent in an echo friendly lodge , the food was delicious and the individual cottages were outstanding, waking up to monkeys on your porch is something else. The day was finished off with another safari where we tracked down the elusive giraffes and then back to Entebbe. All in all the whole adventure is something I will always remember and was well worth every penny

Excellent 6-day camping safari!!
We did an 6-day camping safari included Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater. if I were to do it over again I'd skip Tarangire in favor of another Serengueti day, The best park for us is amazing. The safari was great we got to see the big five close to our jeep including the rhino.
Romeo is kind, professional and efficient . We worked together to create a custom itinerary that fit our desires.
Although this was not a luxury safari experience nor was it a price as such . We would highly recommend Safari Multiways.

Excellent tailor-made wildlife tour of Uganda
In February, my girlfriend and I embarked on a 12-day tour through southwestern Uganda, with a focus on forest wildlife. In coordination with Diane, we organized a tailor-made trip which followed our particular interest. Savannah wildlife, which, while very interesting, can be found in many other places in Africa, but the primate and birdlife in Uganda is very unique. Our driver/guide was Martin, a very intelligent, eager and friendly man with excellent English skills. He drove very safely and provided us with loads of interesting information about the culture, history and politics of Uganda and elsewhere in the region. He also carried identification books so we could look up animals we had seen. At all times, he was extremely enthusiastic to share his country with us and make our trip comfortable and enjoyable. At each stop, we had a local guide whose knowledge and ability to spot wildlife was superb and Martin was able to add some of his own knowledge and stories during our walks.
We visited Kibale NP where we experienced the chimpanzee habituation. Able to spend an entire day with this amazing creature, this activity is strongly recommended. We also visited Bigodi Swamp – where we saw tons of colorful birds; Semuliki – less impressive secondary forest, but still full of birdlife; Kazinga Channel in Queen Elizabeth NP – one of the greatest concentrations of large animals we have ever seen; Kalinzu NP – another area of great chimpanzee encounters, but without the crowds, where we were lucky enough to see baby chimps with their mothers and witness a chimpanzee hunt; Bwindi Impenatrable NP – home of Uganda’s famous mountain gorillas, which is a must-see; Mgahinga NP – home of the extraordinarily rare golden monkeys, a cute and approachable primate; and finally Lake Bunyoni – a relaxing lake surrounded by farmland and a fair share of fascinating birdlife.
With little information about Chigo Tours circulating on the internet, we were understandably worried about how the trip might go, but because of the very competitive price and the great communication from Diane in the office, we decided to go for it. And we are pleased to declare that we had a fabulous tour which exceeded our very high expectations and we would certainly recommend Chigo Tours to our friends.

Global Adventure Safari is a fraud company
Please do not go with these guys. These guys are thugs and liars. They promised me 8 days Serengati trip and charged 1500 USD. First they put me in a cheapest of hotels in Arusha , organised one of the stupidest of tours and worst they wanted me to do 2 x 4 days trips which meant I was to do all the road journey twice. All of the other travellers who travelled with me from other tour operators paid 450 USD for the same trip.
Thanks

7-day safari to Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Serengeti National Park
We had the best time in Tanzania with Easy Travel! Our guide, Tom, was the best--very knowledgeable, funny, kind. We saw the big five and even got within 20 m of the elusive black rhino! I planned the trip with Beatrice who was amazing and thoroughly answered all the questions we threw at her.

A great opportunity to visit a game park
Thank you Rowley for taking me to Hluhluwe Park and St Lucia Wetlands. It was great to see so many animals although disappointing that the elephants decided to 'hide'. Without your tour I would not have been able to do this and see some of the 'real' South Africa. I really appreciated that you had taken care of all my bookings, met me at the airport and delivered me back there.

Over and Above Expectations
We used Avocet for our safaris in Feb, 2017 and they were fantastic! We went to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro, the entire experience was incredible! Our guide was great and the owner, Jeff, went above and beyond expectations to take care of us. I accidentally left a shirt in a vehicle and he was able to track it down and had a man meet me at the airport to get it back, I was very thankful for this! We highly recommend Avocet!!!

The best safari among the 10 or 12 ones I've had in Kenya
The moments I spent in Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboseli were the best I ever had in these national parks that I had already visited 2 or 3 times each at least. Anthony was the best game-tracker I ever met and a very good guy, as well. In Masai Mara, we could see the Big Five in one afternoon, including the black rhino, of course. Great times, indeed. Asante sana, Anthony

Avocet were very responsive and accommodating with our specific requests and needs.
Communication with Avocet was mostly through email, and their response was always very prompt. We specified our requirements and they tried their best to cater accordingly. The game drives were wonderful, more so because of the enthusiastic drivers/ guides. We had requested moderately comfortable accommodation, not basic or luxury, and we were provided exactly that. Overall our experience was wonderful, and I would recommend Avocet to others.
