The great wilderness
I want to take a tour to see the world but I had no idea where I wanted to go until a friend advised me to try Uganda for a gorilla trekking. He had done it before, and he had told me how amazing it was. I decided to give it a try because I trust my friend’s recommendation. I made some research on the internet and I decided to take a 3 day gorilla trekking with gorilla tour booking safari. Hear my experience.
I tell you guys there is no adventure like visiting Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Like the name a sound, some parts of the forest is really dark that you can think it never dawns: it’s a night world over there. Every time I was walking under the guidance of my guide, I felt like he was the flicker of light that I had to follow to get through. Though it seemed a little scary , it was a very adventurous trip for me.
My guide Peter was a humble man who was very knowledgeable about wildlife and Uganda. Everything I requested, he was willing to go beyond his means to fulfill it. At some point, I felt he was too kind to me. In human nature, I decided to tip him up some good amount because he definitely deserved it.
Thank you peter and all the gorilla tour booking safari crew, you made it for me.
I would definitely recommend any one to travel with these guys. They are so professional.
Thanks guys.

Best Tour Company Ever!
Abakombe Tours put together an amazing adventure which included hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro and visiting the Ngorongoro Crater. From the moment we landed until we headed back to the airport, Alphonce and his team took care of every step. Alphonce has a great team and they work together to make your trip as fun and enjoyable as possible. Their guides, Martin and Goodluck, are fantastic and take care of every detail. They made sure we had the proper gear for our climb in addition to providing skillful leadership and expertise that we didn't see in the other guides during our successful summit up Kilimanjaro. They are kind and friendly and it very easy to get along with their entire team. I would highly recommend Abakombe Tours and will definitely use their company again for future adventures.

Great safari experience - but with technical car problems
It was a great visit to Mikumi where we saw many animals - lions included. Our guide spoke great english and was very informative about the animals and country. We were picked up at the right time and the Swiss hotel for sleep over was also very nice. The only problem was that the jeep had several technical problems. First we had a flat tire twice and then two more technical problems which took a lot of time to fix. We were probably just unlucky - and besides that we would like to recommend the company. If you don't have plans for a big safari but just want the experience this two day trip with Kanuth is very nice.

amazing place and beautiful kind people very hospitable.
We booked a 4 day safari with Kanuth and everything went as planned in the itinerary, They met us at the port in Dar Es Salaam as promised and the journey to the Selous game reserve was amazing, Our ranger Emmenuel was so good and kind and made us feel comfortable. The accommodation was basic and the jungle was noisy at night which was expected. However when we asked to be moved to a different room that was not on ground level at the Hippo camp they did that for us with no problems. We were sad to leave as the trip was truly amazing and I cant find the words to describe our experiences. I would definitely book with this company again for another safari... Thank you :)

School visit to Tanzania including working in 3 different schools, a hospital and safari for 26.
What a fantastic experience. Everything was as we planned. Ahmed was always on hand to support us. The complicated 3 week trip ran very smoothly. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Wildness if you are thinking of visiting Tanzania. We will use Wildness again next year. All the drivers were helpful, knowledgable and friendly especially our incredible safari guides. Whilst on safari our enjoyment was the most important thing to them. Ahmed is a brilliant organiser and met and exceeded all my requests including changes to the trip whilst we were in Tanzania. Don't look any further.

Wonderful and professionally run safari with loads of animals
I have recently returned from an absolutely amazing 7-day safari in Tanzania that I booked through Safarihub. Nothing was too much trouble for this extremely professionally run outfit. After spending the 1st night in Arusha where I was met and briefed by their wonderful experienced team, I then visited Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater as well as the Serengeti. Not only did I see the big 5, but due to the extremely knowledgeable guide, I ended up by seeing over 37 lion which was utterly incredible!!!! I have been on several safaris before this one but would say that this was the best experience ever. Thank you Safarihub!!

Trip of a Lifetime with Kenya Budget Safaries
My buddies and I had an amazing trip with Kenya Budget Safaris. I see no reason not to book with them. The guide was great! Spoke good English, was very knowledgeable, and did his best to answer our million and one questions. The accommodations and restaurants they had set up for us were great. I would not trade the experience for anything.

Beautiful landscapes, few animals
We visited the Park 4 years ago, so i don't know what's the current situation..
We spent a day in the park with our car, exploring a large part of it.
The park is divided into 2 zones, the first is flat, with a "bush" where you can easily see impala, wildebeest, warthog (and according to the rangers at the entrance, not seen rhinos ...).
In the second area the road becomes bumpy, the landscape becomes more mountainous and they told us that we should be able to see the "big four" (except the lion), but on a full day of search we have seen just some kudus and zebras ...
You could see on the road very recent traces of the passage of elephants and rhinos (droppings and broken branches), but it's amazing that even waiting for a long time we didn't heard or saw anything ...
Maybe because of the dense and narrow vegetation near the road ... but also from the high ground with binoculars we couldn't see anything on the move.
However the views are spectacular in the mountains, including the long, steep climb up to the top of the massif of Waterberg, where you should be able to see the colonies of griffon vultures.
