Extremely professional
Allen is the number one tour guide in Uganda, he thinks about everything including the small stuff. Safety and satisfaction are his priorities!
Highly recommended.
Enjoy!

Can't trust Silas
Sadly I have to agree with some of the reviews about Apodiformes Adventures.
During the hiring process, Silas, the owner of Apodiformes replied to my messages right away, adapting to our needs and promising an exceptional quality of service.
Being our honeymoon, we hired a safari considered luxury (over 4000 EUR for 5 nights), requesting booking at very specific accommodations.
Until we formalized the reservation (transfer of 40% of the total) evething was fine. Once the payment was done the problems started to show up. The most wanted accomodation, Enkewa in Masai Mara, did not accept the reservation for not complying with their conditions (minimum 3 nights stay and take care of safaris in Masai Mara). Silas lied that they knew the accommodation and had previously worked.
The alternative was Olengoti Eco Camp, this accommodation has two types of room, tent and bungalow. The bungalow was requested (and paid for). Upon arrival at the Camp, the staff informed that our booking was at the inferior category and that they had no availability to manage the changeo of room. Silas lied again saying that the fault came from the camp (they showed me the booking made from Apodiformes) and that all rooms had the same price.
The third day of safari we had an incident with the car, we were standing 6h waiting for the repair. The guide asked us to take it easy and ask us to eat/drink in the cafeteria that the agency would cover. This never happened, not only that, Silas knowing the issue never got in touch with us in the whole week to check how things were going. We lost one day of safari and he didn't even care.
In the agreed itinerary, later that day we had a stop at Tompson Falls for lunch. We had to argue with the guide because Silas had not informed him and did not want to stop or pay the tickets.
With all the above being said, the overall experience was very good, thanks to John (our great guide) and the staff of the camps/lodges, but I would never hire them again for the lack of honesty and service provided by Silas.
It may be slightly cheaper than other companies but the price difference does not justify having to be constantly alert, feeling cheated and with the sensation that if there had been any problem the agency would not have helped or solved anything.

Another Amazing Safari Experience!
It was an amazing trip. Far exceeded our expectations. Great driver, 5* accommodations and the successfully Kilimanjaro climbing trip.
This was our third trip with Good Earth Tours and will certainly do another one with them soon.

Excellent trip.I would definitely recommend this agency to my friends.
The first impression was the consultant was so passionate that he replied to my emails very quick even on weekends.Also,Fredrick took every single requirement I told him when making the tailor-made itinerary.That was why I chose this company among all other agencies.During the safari,our guide Tom also did a wonderful job,giving us surprises consistently.I will no doubt refer them to my friends who'd like to travel here.

Amazing
Fika Safaris made our Kenya and Tanzania trip even better than we could have hoped for.
Robert and Ester listened closely to our wishes and all the camps and experiences were amazing. De Fika Safari guides were extremely knowledgeable which made the trip even more interesting and fun. We highly recommend Fika Safaris if one is looking for a tailor made safari experience!

Wanna have a fun ride - connect to the Bluerange Connect
So when i planned to solo visit Kenya for 9 days, I contacted 3-4 tour agents thru this website. The tour proposal submitted by everyone was almost similar, however the lady named Bernadetta (i call her Berna) was most convenient and approachable to talk from Bluerange Connect. So i opted to go ahead with Bluerange connect and it was the best decision. Their process and co-ordination was smooth and pretty comforting.
The safari guide/driver for me was Edward. Before visiting Kenya, many of my friends told me that you should get a fierce driver who takes you to small pouches of the jungle so that you can enjoy the wilderness. And Edward was no doubt one among them. The accommodation and food were reasonable, however some adjustments are bound to happen in such trip and so i cant complain.
Co-incidently and luckily the group with whom i was paired was also fantastic. Therefore, it turned out to be one of the memorable trip of my life. And yes, major credits for this memorable trip go to Berna, Edward and Blue Range Connect. Cheers!
Next year i am planning to visit Tanzania and i am surely going to connect with this team again.
