Everything was very good
THE communications was very nice and friendly. Good car and friendly driver . He had a lot of knowledge about Uganda . Also about animals . In the Queen Elisabeth Parc was no ranger disposible, but our driver told us many interesting things . We stayed in een perfect Lodge ( Papaya Lodge ) And also our stay in the Bush Lodge was very nice.
We enjoyed our chimp walk. Good guides and many chimpansees!!
We had a wonderful time.

Driver and guide was a superstar
I had an amazing, poignant, beautiful time on safari with my brother with Kay tours, the price and arrangements were great, accommodation, food and local masai were convivial, tasty and very wrong to share time and stories. The other people on the safari were also a great bunch.
Best praise though is reserved for the indefatigable Isaac, a brilliant, knowledgeable and tireless guide, ever willing to seek the best angle for viewing the many astonishing scenes and creatures we saw. Our organiser, Moureen, deserves incredible praise also for the short notice and great price she managed to arrange for us.
Great experience

Good service, immediatly answering email and very good advices were given by them ,
we were only for a short trip with them travelling after 4 weeks working in a small hospital in Rakai. the driver from Matoke picked us up at the beautiful Villa Katwe in Massaka and then we travelled at the direction of the border with Congo and Ruanda....At the beautiful Lake Mutanda we stayed in Mutanda Lodge and it seems to be the end of the world... Beautiful view on the Volcanos and the lake and after two days rest we were taken by the driver of Matoke at the gorilla tracking....Wonderful and once in a life time experience.....Thank you Matoke tours!!

First Class Experience!!!
Mwema Africa Safari was my first Safari experience. It more than exceeded my expectations. This company was very accommodating and professional. They were available to assist with travel arrangements and even picked me up from my hotel! The owner personally greeted me at the begining of the journey which gave a good first impression. From there, the experience got better and better. The guide was knowledgable and friendly, as he not only was an excellent driver able to navigate the terrain, but also able to explain everything that we saw. Looking forward to doing it again. Definitley "2 thumbs up"!!

Thank you, Gatatu Safaris, for an unforgettable, exciting experience - tailor-made to suit my needs!
I was impressed by the fair and transparent pricing of the trip and outstanding customer service. The Gatatu tour operator, Richard, whose English was excellent, proved highly organised and exceptionally attentive. He was also a very careful driver. The trekking was physically tough (at least for me at the age of 60+) - hiring a porter was key to the success of my safari trip. I loved the certificate award ceremony at the end. All the Park staff, too, were very professional.
Beautiful scenery. An altogether magical day! I shall be returning to Uganda and its wonderful people...

Booked a 4-night stay at Chobe Safari Lodge via Falcon and had no problems.
Firstly, the 4-night stay at Chobe Safari Lodge was absolutely fine - excellent accommodation, meals and facilities - no problems at all. Transfers to and from Kasane Airport on arrival and departure were smooth and well organised - not sure how much of this was attributable to Falcon Safaris or Chobe Safari Lodge itself.
The package included several Game Drives and River Cruises and all of these were well organised and thoroughly enjoyable. On arrival at Chobe, I also booked a 1-day Fly-In to the Okavango Delta (Pom-Pom Camp) via the Lodge's own Activities Centre. This also was well-organised and well worth doing, though I did feel the cost was a little on the high side.
As I had already booked my own flights from Johannesburg to and from Kasane, Falcon's main involvement was the accommodation package at Chobe Safari Lodge. The booking process was handled entirely via e-mail between myself in the UK and Falcon in Victoria Falls. Replies to my various questions in the early stages of booking were handled courteously and promptly and enabled me to reach a decision about the booking without hassle.
In my view, the weakest part of the booking process involved the rather slow responses after money had been transferred. On a couple of occasions, I had to send an email chasing confirmation that the money I had sent had been received and requesting an updated invoice recording the payment. Where money is involved, and particularly an International Transfer, I think Falcon should be more acutely aware of the importance of reassuring the client(s) that their payment(s) has been safely received. It should not be necessary for the client to chase confirmation. Closer liaison between the Admin and Accounts people would help to ensure that the client is kept fully informed of his/her booking's status.
In my case, nothing went wrong and there were no problems, but I still needed to know as soon as possible that the money had arrived safely, without having to chase a response.
Overall, falcon handled things well and my trip was a great success - the comments above are (hopefully) constructive and will enable Falcon to fine-tune its procedures to provide an even better service to its customers.
