Our holiday with Wild Expeditions was everything we could have wished for - and more
We love everything about Wild Expeditions and have used them on more than one occasion. Henry is fabulous, and one of the best tour guides we've ever had. He's extremely knowledgeable about his subject, and his interest in and love of the animals of Uganda is clear which is very important to us. Wild Expeditions' itineraries are excellent, the recommended lodges are superb, very friendly and well managed. We will definitely be returning to Uganda and will definitely use Wild Expeditions again.

Excellent visit to Ruaha
We visited this summer with our two kids the Ruaha National Park with Chabo Africa Safari and had a great Safari. Ruaha is a very beautiful national park with a magnificent river and hills full of old baobabs and wild animals. Ernest is from the area so he knows it very well and also knows everybody there. He also knows quite a bit about the history of the tribes and villages between Iringa and Ruaha and organised or last day a good cultural visit to one of the villages with some local guides.
Ernest is a very experienced safari guide and has been working as a ranger before and he has a lot of stories about his adventures. Thanks to his experience in spotting animals we saw a lot: elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, gazelles, kudus, impalas, jackals, buffalos, crocodiles, hippos, hyena, large birds and 2 cheetahs. He also knows a lot of other guides so if we had less luck in the area we were he soon had a tip from a collegue where the animals where hiding. What we also liked is that he is very flexible to adapt the program to what we liked.
The food we got was excellent, it was diverse, good portions and very well prepared salads and a nice variety of european, african and indian dishes. Ernest also asked us in advance if we were vegetarians or had any other food preferences in order to adapt the food to our wishes.

I had a great Kilimanjaro hike & Serengeti trek with eTrips Africa
The team running eTrips was very professional, though we did have a problem with my brother's visa that they should know about. Our 2 guides were fantastic

Good budget value
We booked a safari througt 3crest tours&safaris and i think this is far out the best budget option. We slept in small tents (little iglo's). this was okay. The only complaint i have is about the sleeping bag. They were not cleaned after using. I idid not like to sleep in a sleepingbag in which another persoon slept. We discussed this problem with Gabriel. And we are sure he will solve this problem.
Gabriel will do everything to make you feel comfortabel.
The Tour includes à pick up from the airport and also the first and last night in the hotel.
we did the safari in a good car. A Cook went with us. Hè stayed in the camp while we are doping the gamedrives. We can convince everyone that hè makes wonderfull and delicious maels.
we can recommand 3crest and the personal attention from Gabriel will give you warm feelings.
Beste lezer,
We hebben deze safari geboekt. Gabriel heeft een beginnend bedrijf maar hij weet wat mensen uit Europa graag willen. Hij beheerst de kunst van luisteren. hij zal alles in het werk stellen om het de klanten naar de zin maken. Natuurlijk kost de safari een heleboel geld, maar bedenk dat dit inclusief de pick up van het vliegveld is en ook de eerste en laatste nacht in het Arusha Toerist Inn zijn inclusief.
De kok die met ons mee reed, maakte de meest formidabele maaltijden klaar.
Het enige minpunt waren de slaapzakken. Maar Gabriel heeft ons beloofd om hier verandering in te brengen.
De zorgen voor zijn klanten houdt niet op na het beëindigen van de safari. Gabriel bemiddelde ook voor ons bij het kopen van bustickets.
Kortom, we hebben een fantastische herinnering aan 3crest tours&safaris.

The personalized service expected from a small business making it happen!!
Every aspect of our service was good and was above our expectations. From pick up and transition to proper airport, storage of extra luggage, pick up return from safari, the extra day of personal transport around Nairobi for local sites and prompt arrival to airport for departure home. Daniel was very responsive all the way through the booking process and then Benson greeting and Dominic's service driving all made the best impression.

Wonderful trip!
First of all, before being in Uganda, I have been in close contact with Stephen. He has always been very nice and willing to help me. The programme we made together was flexible and I really appreciated it.
Once I arrived, Milton, the guide, welcomed me at 5.00 am, and Stephen the following day.
It was more than a safari... It was a human and a wildlife experience! I enjoyed very much talking with Milton on different issues: animals, history, culture... His expertise on all these topics was very informative.
He was always punctual and very trustworthy. After the Kazinga river boat trip, I decided to do the safari at Queen Elizabeth Park and that was not included in the package. Milton accepted without hesitation and it was an amazing experience: we saw five lions eating a hippo and we were only two cars.
The gorilla trekking was incredible and a 250 kg silverback came to us and I could have touched him! It is beyond words... The Kazinga river, the lions at Queen Elizabeth Park and the chimpanzes at Kibale were also amazing experiences. I won't forget the human experiences with a pygme community and with some children at a local school.
The accommodation was very nice and the food very good. It is incredible to sleep with the sounds of the animals nearby and very moving to stay at a pension where Dian Fossey often came. Last but not least, the people from Uganda are very friendly people and very respectful.
I loved my different adventures in Uganda. Thank you Milton and Stephen. Needless to tell you, I highly recommend CUL TOURS!

Mana Shoreline Canoeing - Unbelievably wonderful trip!
This was our first trip to Africa and first safari. All our expectations were exceeded. Our guides, Mark and Campbell, were excellent. Their knowledge, skill, patience and humor made for fun and interesting days. Canoeing with hippos was way outside our comfort zones but they made it a trip of a lifetime. The food was great - thank you for the extra effort to provide vegetarian meals and snacks. Each camp was well organized, unique and beautiful. And the Zambezi River...magnificent.

Amazing Honeymoon thanks to Darren
Darren and Compass Odyssey were perfect for helping us plan and experience the best that Africa had to offer. Great service before, during and after the trip. Incredible surprises and constant upgrades throughout the adventure made this once in a lifetime experience.
Starting with the trip planning, we were able to take advantage of Darren's experience with the area and accommodations to plan the ideal two week adventure. He made it so easy to create a completely customized itinerary with all the random side trips we wanted, all the last minute modifications we came up with, and all the crazy ideas my wife and I could throw at him while at the same time keeping the costs down and within our budget.
We were extremely surprised to find that every one of our room accommodations had been upgraded or moved to what was truly the best room in each hotel. Turns out this was 100% thanks to Darren calling ahead and working with his contacts to ensure that our trip was truly one of a kind. There was even a surprise special dinner out on the hotel veranda in front of our own private fire all reserved for just the two of us.
Darren was in contact with us throughout the entire trip and did everything possible to ensure our trip was perfect.
