A trip to remember!
Lets start off with the positives...
Communication went really went, I also received a reply on the day. Which was great.
Our guide and driver Abraham was fantastic!!! He was really friendly and made our safari something we will never ever forget! Thanks Abraham!! We saw and learnt so much from him!
There are some negatives however,
After receiving the quote and saying yes, we were told that there was a mistake in the price.
One of the places we chose to stay was further away, of which we were unaware of. Uhuru did not know of this either and we therefore had to pay 100 Dollars extra for our transfer. We found this out on the day we arrived. This is something I think could have been avoided if researched prior to our arrival or maybe when making up the itinerary.
Some of the paperwork had not been done timeously so we missed a few hours on 2 days due to waits at the gate waiting for paperwork to be submitted.
Despite the negatives, this was a trip of lifetime and something we will cherish forever. The positives definitely outweigh the negatives but if Uhuru could improve on those small things it will only benefit them. It was definitely a trip we could not have done on our own!
Thanks Uhuru and most of all Abraham for the most amazing trip!

Properly organized safari, unforgettable experience !
4 DAYS LOW BUDGET SAFARI IN SERENGETI, NGORONGORO & TARANGIRE - solo traveller.
Based in Kenya and having a representative in Arusha, “Trip Advisor Africa Safaris” has extensive experience in Tanzanian parks and safaris. Vincent Seth, its director, is very friendly, responding always willingly to all e-mails and questions.
As usually, you end up in a car of a different agency but that’s not important...
The poor conditions of the campsite in Serengeti, the risk to sleep with a stranger in a small tent - which didn’t happen with difficulty - and my window of the vehicle which didn’t open - but we had an open car roof - they were nothing compared to the greatness of the 3 parks!
The price was affordable, time was always respected, the 6 pax group was fine, the driver and the cook were nicely professional, we were always busy and active, the number and diversity of animals were amazing, the weather perfect... I am happy! I could use their services again.

Reliable and responsive
I requested information from 5 tour companies. Edith was the clearest, most prompt and she listened to my request. The plan was confirmed and she prepared me well including details about pickup in Kagali. My driver was safe and diligent but had limited English. I booked Le Bambou Gorilla lodge which was minutes from the park and a very good choice. Since I travelled alone, my driver and I ate together. They were quiet meals, hence 4 stars. Nice property with beautiful views and warm staff. Dennis (manager) and the Chef and staff were great. It was my birthday and Chef made a cake and I received a surprise song and celebration. It was very nice. The guides were superb on the trek. We visited the small Muhoza group and saw the youngest gorilla in the area. They were well habituated and a female literally came down from the canopy right on top of us while we were all attentive to the big silverback. What a surprise! But all was well and the guides handled it well as did we all. I recommend a porter. It was very muddy and cleated hiking shoes were a real liability. The guides and porters use flat rubber boots and they did not slip nearly as much. Gaiters are a must with hiking shoes which you can rent at the assembly area. Bring light rainwear as the weather is changeable. Gloves are useful especially around nettles. The growth is quite dense so be prepared to use some muscles that you forgot existed. Most agreed an iPhone is comparable or better than common cameras, except for ones with fast lenses. Movies capture more of the experience than stills but bring both.

Mr. Gerson's suggestions and help were highly appreciated.
Everything went well in Namibia. The itinerary took to very interesting cultural places
and of great natural beauty. Our guide was fluent in english and french, very knowledgeable
and accommodating.
Etosha National Park was great (one of the best places in Africa to view game) as well as Damaraland,
Twyfelfontein, Swakopmund and Sossusvlei.
We enjoyed the countrys rich cultural heritage due to the guide, who was very informative.
The combination of landscapes, colors, wildlife and people was simply stunning.

wonderful guide to share great experience of Namibia
We are a 5 persons family and have very much appreciated the tour organised with Gerson who is as nice as possible and takes care of his clients.
It was a 18 days tour mixing different areas of Namibia and experiences and we have especially appreciated some nights in the desert being totally alone, organising camp site with campfire, preparing food,...
Gerson knows very well well his native country, always wants to share the bestwith his customers by keeping smiling and having in mind the african slogan "akouna matata".
Last but not least Gerson speaks French language and this was also appreciated by us.
We strongly recommand Gerson and his travel Agency Omuhimba Safari
