Amazing tour through Uganda with Lulu Safaris
I spend 11 days travelling through Uganda.
The communication before I started the journey was excellent. Elvis always came back to me very quickly every time I had a question and helped with everything he could.
Once I arrived in Uganda my guide Derrick picked me up at the airport and the journey began.
I really had the most amazing time in Uganda. Derrick was such an amazing guide, who took very good care of me and always went the extra mile to make this trip unforgettable.
He has such a great knowledge of the wildlife, the people and every aspect of this beautiful country that a visitor could ask for. There was nothing else that I could have asked for.
This was a trip that I will never forget - thank you Derrick!

Incredible!
My experience with Wito was incredible! Everyone I worked with at the company was incredibly helpful and patient. Wito helped design our safari trip from the ground up and helped with planning and answering questions every step of the way. Every aspect of our safari experience with Wito exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend working with Wito!

Magnificent, everything in the tour was perfect
After a careful analysis of different tour operators, we decided to choose Super Eagles to do a 7 day safari in Kenya and we couldn’t be more satisfied. We ended up choosing them because of the huge difference of price in comparison with the others operators and the quality of the hotels and lodges.
Since the first day we booked this tour, communication was awesome, they are available almost 24/7, Charity was always ready to answer our questions.
We had booked a shared tour but it ended up being a private tour. Our driver John was super dedicated and made the biggest efforts for us to see as much animals as we could and was extremely pontual. Everything went well and we can’t wait to book with them again.

Experience of a lifetime!
Our safari experience — 4 day/3 night in Mizumi NP + Udzungwa NP + Masai Village — far exceeded our expectations! The service and organization was above and beyond every step of the way. From making arrangements with Winnie, our tour guide, Isaya and his team, to the activities, food and accommodations. It was so much fun and we saw more animals than we ever expected. We appreciated the youthful, fun, positive energy and extensive knowledge of everyone on team Kihindo. You will, no doubt, have the experience of a lifetime with Kihindo!!

Just super professional tour operator.
I can recommend epic Uganda, because everything is like they offer. No surprises and the price against quality is super. We felt us immediately home with our driver Emma who is very friendly and helpful. It was a tof experience to see the golden monkeys and gorilla's. Luxe lodges were we slept. Also the visit to the village, we won't forget. Thanks for this experience...

Responsive and helpful
Overall, a really great experience. I chose this company because I read strong reviews about Bildad - the tour coordinator- and his quick responses and ease at answering questions- especially before we left
We did the 10 day tour split between Kenya and Tanzania and I felt like we had a good value for what we received. You spend a lot of quality time in each park and it didn’t feel too rushed. In Masai Mara you have 1 evening and 1 full day drive and stay in an ecolodge with a private bathroom ( and hot shower). The drive to Lake Nakura is long and that park is the smallest but it’s all the best chance to see the rhinos- so worth it overall. I’m Amboseli we saw the top of Kili both days and so many elephants ( herds of 20 plus at a time). The ecolodge one Amboseli is also nicer than we anticipated and the food here was one of our favorites.
The tour also supported us with the border crossing to Tanzania and it was much smoother then I thought. A driver met us at the border and escorted us through the visa steps which was appreciated. I’m Tanzania we stayed at 2 tented campsites with basic amenities ( the one in Ngorongoro has a really nice view). When we were camping the last 2 days you also get a “private chef” who prepared really nice hot breakfast , lunch and dinners- this part definitely had the best food ( thank you Gerard). We are vegetarian and were accommodated consistently at each site- though some obviously much more graciously then others
( butter sandwiches vs veggie curry with chapati and fresh fruit)
In the Serengeti we had a half day and a full day drive. The sheer number of wildebeest and zebra is really amazing. We also saw several large prides of lions ( 18!). Lastly, Ngorongoro crater exceeded my expectations. The landscape is very different from the other parks with lush green trees and the surrounding crater walls- really beautiful! It was a strong ending to our trip.
We had 1 guide driver for the Kenya side and then another for the Tanzania- both were very kind and personable though one was much more informative so it was nice to experience the variety. It’s also important to note it’s a joint safari which means you are merged with people who book the same itinerary from other companies so the group size constantly fluctuates at each stop but for us never exceeded 6 people.
Very happy with our experience and think the programing allows you to see a lot of beautiful places. Check your expectations that every day is a lot of driving ( 8 plus hours), early morning wake ups and bumpy roads and you will have a great time.

Really professional and caring before/during and after the service!
Our experience has been fantastic with Kihindo Tours. I was exchanging emails with Winnie for quite a while, and she was very patient, answering all my queries clearly and really fast, providing different options to match what we wanted, and being accommodating.
We were picked up at our hotel in Dar es Salaam by Winnie and Michael (our guide) promptly (they actually got there earlier than expected!), and after finalising payment and dropping Winnie at the offices, Michael started driving us to the camp where we'd be staying. He was very chatty, there were lots of water in the car and we stopped a couple of times for lunch, a break, etc. It is a bit of a long drive to Mikumi, but well worth it. A few kms before arriving to the camp, we started seeing animals (giraffes, zebras, impalas...) and Michael very kindly stopped so we could start taking pics. The accommodation was great. We had a nice bungalow, with the basics. It was really charming and all we could hear was birds and insects. It was lovely. food in the camp was very nice (buffet).
the safari - Amazing .Michael was great, really knowledgeable and explaining lots of things. He made the whole thing really interesting, easy and really cool! We were very aware that it's a safari so maybe we wouldn't be able to see some animals (sadly we didn't spot leopards), but it was amazing. Our first day we saw elephants, lions, zebras, giraffes, impalas, crocodiles, monitor lizards, hippos, wilderbeests, storks...and other animals and birds I can't remember haha .
We also did a walking tour of the nearby waterfalls. It was great view and really quiet, as it was low season, so we had the waterfalls just for us to swim
All in all, we believe it's great value for money, they were extremely reliable, helping us with all the queries we had before/during/after the safari...Would absolutely recommend. We even met Mr Kihindo, who is a very nice young man!!!

Easy to communicate and value for money
This was my first safari tour and it was really nice. Bildad was amazing, he organised everything for me nicely and answered all my questions promptly. The tour was also good value for money! They can offer different accommodation/ vehicle options depending on your budget. Don't hesitate to email Bildad, I'm sure he'll do his best to work out an itinerary that's suitable for you.

Best best you could ever ask for.
I booked a Safari for my partners 30th birthday, who whilst doing numerous things in Kenya what better than to visit Maasai Mara. I booked the 3 night (4 days) private tour (firstly let me recommend the private tour, it's a little more expensive but the whole experience means so so so much more)
Day 1 - I arranged to be collect at 8am from my hotel, they were there on time and very welcoming. Full introductions were made and the people I was speaking to over email came to see us, introduced themself and came to see us off.
We arrived at our hotel which was exceptional (if you do the multi tour and can request Mtito Camp I'd fully recommend)
We decided not to do the evening Game Safari in place to see Maasai Village which was unbelievable. One thing about this holiday was seeing Kenya for all of it's beauty and culture and we truly witnessed this.
Day 2 - Early start We headed to Maasai Mara where we spent the full day on the Safari will attach photos but it was truly magnificent. Our driver Mr Robie was one of the most knowledgeable people I have met, he knew everything we threw at him, and oh boy let me tell you there was question after question.
Day 3 - We went to the stunning Lake Naivasha enjoyed a stunning boat ride and Safari walk.
The above does not describe anywhere near how amazing this tour operator and guide was, they were magnificent all the way through, continual updates and never missed the mark once.
Now this bit is for the drive/tour guide/Safari expert - Mr Robie was truly magnificent, a true gentleman from start to finish of the entire tour, he asked our opinion frequently, due to his knowledge he allowed us to see things I could only previously dream of. If you're fortunate enough to spend your Safari with him you'll not regret it. He was fantastic so I'd like to say thank you to him personally, for ensure my wife had the greatest 30th birthday anyone could ever ask for.
