4 Days Trip to Uganda
I thank gorilla tour booking safari for their tender care they gave us during our 4-day trip to Uganda.
We sent dozens of emails to Ronnie and sometimes we felt it was a little too much but he replied with care, love, and with great professionalism. This is was the first glimpse of an accommodating company. Upon arrival we discussed so much about our itinerary with our guide, peter, who was polite, and knowledgeable about the parks. We had to ask all questions so as to keep our expectations so high.
The car was good with suitable seats that could give you the kind of comfort that you desired. I had to check out that first because I knew we were going to travel long distances to the parks and these guys never disappointed.
At the park, we all had the necessary requirements to go for gorilla trekking however we hired porters to help us carry the bags because we wanted to enjoy the moment without feeling so much tired. It took us sometime though not hours for us to see the group which we had gone to trek. Actually, we enjoyed moving around the jungle just searching for these precious animals. The trek was never tiresome as we thought.
I wish we had stayed more in this country. We somehow got attached to the local people so much. Everyone looked so friendly; we never encountered anyone who gave us hard time. For us, this is was a journey worthy paying for.
Thank you gorilla tour booking safari for your great care and security; we felt secure all the time. Trust me, these guys know their industry.

Our 4-day gorilla trekking safari.
We did a 4-day gorilla trekking safari. The safari looked so packed with lots of activities that we were keen to see that they are all fulfilled. Indeed, they were all fulfilled. This is how it went: On our first day, we went to Queen Elizabeth national park were we had a game drive and saw lots of animals like the leopards, Elephants, Lions ,and hyenas. We took a two-hour evening cruise and this was so great. It gave us nice scenery for game viewing, and bird watching. I took photos of these huge crocodiles, it was so stunning.
Day 2 was basically travelling from Queen Elizabeth to Bwindi Impenetrable forest we were going to do gorilla trekking. Along the way, we saw climbing lions and this was another plus into our journey. We arrived at a very accommodating lodge were we spent a night.
The next day which I would regard as day 3 was the indeed a great day. in the morning, we were briefed by the authorities about what and what not to do. We both hired porters because we needed their service. These guys carry your load and you just concentrate on trekking. As we started penetrating this thick shrubby forest, we were listening to birds singing their morning songs. We started moving along this steep forest. We moved for some time without seeing these gorillas. We expected that as soon as you get to the forest, we shall immediately see the gorillas but we realized that these animals have their own schedules and plans. After about one hour and twenty minutes, the guide notified us of their presence. We were so much attracted to the baby gorilla because of its playing mode. I took videos and photos of this moment. Our last day was coming back to Kampala to prepare our journey back home. We stopped at Igongo cultural Centre for lunch where we were served with amazing local dishes. There was so much to take from the trip and it was definitely worth every single penny.
Thank you to the wonderful team at Gorilla Tour Booking Safaris . The guide was so accommodating and narrative.

Review of Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara trip
We had visited lake nakuru and masai mara through Visit Mount Kenya ours and Safaris. We got their contact from our friend who had taken safari through them earlier. I contacted Rufus from the company and he was really helpful in planning our trip and provided his valuable inputs and different options as per our budget. When we reached Kenya he was waiting outside the airport for us ad the car was also heir on the airport. The driver John was also really helpful. He took us to various corners of the parks always with a smile and provided us lots of inputs on wildlife. We were able to spot almost all type of animals including the Big 5. Overall a 5 star for the trip managed by Visit Mount Kenya.

Would give 10 stars if possible!
I visited with my wife in September 2015 as part of our honeymoon. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
As Safari novices, I put out a few quotes (through this site) several months back and was instantly impressed with Wild Wings. Gavin in the office, put together a great package from us and we both felt confident in the company even before the Safari. Gavin was even helping us out with connecting flights and definitely seemed like he knew what he was doing.
The Safari itself was incredible. Our guide Simon was incredibly experienced, and even though we were apparently lucky, we managed to see the big 5 (several times) plus Cheetahs, Wild dogs, hyeinas, honey badgers and all kinds of other wildlife. Simon's pretty modest, but alot of what we got to see was because he knew were to look and knew the park like the back of his hand.
Our accommodation was basic but very comfortable. We spent so little time there that it genuinely didn't matter. The beds were comfy and that's all we cared about! All the food we has was delicious.
I would definitely recommend Wild Wings. I think me and my wife will go again and they are the only company we would book with now.

Exceptional Tanzanian Experience
We have now travelled with Aardvark Safaris Tanzania twice, and would do so again without question. The knowledge, experience and great personalities of everyone involved in our trip made it a very special two weeks. The schedule was adapted to meet our group's interests, and our guides never hesitated to take time to allow us great experiences and photos. They did an amazing job of allowing us to enjoy the moment, like stopping to watch elephants bathe, while keeping us remarkably on schedule. Additionally, they went of their way to understand our interests, and ensured that we had the best chance to see what we were hoping to see. There are not enough superlatives to describe the trip and the people. Having travelled with other safari companies, we can say confidently that no other compares!

Beautiful Safari at Masai Mara
We did a Safari at the beautiful Masai Mara wildlife park. It was more then we could imagine. We had a very kind driver who picked us up from our hotel. We had a stop at Narok to have some lunch, wich was included to this trip. We slept at a campside and had our own tent and bathroom.
The driver showed us some of the beautiful places inside the park. He could tell us a lot about the different animals. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, zebra's and a lot more.
We were very content with the service, offered by Kenya Walking Safari's. We had an experience we will never forget.

Great Safari exprience!
My girlfriend and I just came back from a mid-range Safari and Zanzibar tour with Open Africa Safaris which is a local Tanzanian company. John was really helpful and his responses were timely. The price was not over the top for the tour that we got. And yet, the accommodations and food were fantastic. Anthony, our safari guide, was not only experinced, but also very friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, birds and all parks of Tanzania. He also has the best vision and pointed out things that we could until we got our binoculars out. He went out of the way to ensure that we had the best trip and also suggested changes to the itinerary to maximize our time. We will highly recommend Open Africa Safaris to any one who wants to get the best safari experience. These guys are well trained and organized.
