We were delighted with the tailor made itinerary Fredrick Saturun arranged to fulfil our wishes
This was our second tour with Fredrick Saturun andM.T Expedition and we booked this one even before we had gone on our first one to Botswana. All our conversations with Fredrick made us realize that we had found a kindred spirit - he understood exactly what we wanted and he was the one to go to for unique experiences in Africa Especially In Tanzania.
When we called him up and asked him for suggestions for Dec which is the off-season for most of Africa, he suggested Uganda. Not being a huge fan of primates Uganda had never been on my list but hubby was eager to see the great apes so I agreed. I was apprehensive till the last minute especially after talking to some friends who didn't have a very good experience in Uganda a few months before our tour.
But I needn't have worried. The tour organized by Fredrick was once again top notch. He had picked some very cool destinations for us and in just 10 days we visited Serengeti to trek for Mount Kilimanjaro, and Manyara for tree climbing lions and lake natron for Flamingo big Birds. His choice of accommodation was well thought out. we got to experience the local culture and the Tanzania people which made us fall in love with that country. When we had a small issue at one of the accommodations, Fredrick was quick to care and listen us as where we felt This was our second tour with Fredrick and Moonlighttourexpedition and we booked this one even before we had gone on our first one to Botswana. All our conversations with Fredrick made us realize that we had found a kindred spirit - he understood exactly what we wanted and he was the one to go to for unique experiences in Africa especially in Tanzania.
Tanzania was supposed to be a once in a lifetime destination for us as my first love is big cats. However, thanks to Fredrick's impeccable trip planning we're now eager to go back and see the rest of the country.
We have no hesitation in recommending Fredrick and Moolighttoursexpedition (MT Expedition) to anyone. In fact, we've already planned our third tour with them and look forward to exploring Zimbabwe in Sept. .

Provided us an experience even better that promised while booking, our tour guide James is great.
Agency made all efforts to make our time in Kenya comfortable including pick up at the airport, arranging pre and post safari hotel bookings and prompt reply to all our communications. The safari was as an unique experience, our tour guide made all efforts to take us to the right spots at the right time.

Very well organised itinerary with a fantastic selection of locations
Armed with a high level wishlist, Cuan was able to recommend and organise all aspects of our tour across four countries. He selected very comfortable accommodation with amenities that exceeded our expectations. All internal flights and transfers were as per our schedule and the staff at all our safari camps were very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. We could not fault the service we received at all locations and the food was first class. The vehicles we used on safari were very comfortable and ideal for viewing all the wildlife we encountered. We would happily recommend all four safaris we undertook to anyone wishing to experience Africa and would strongly recommend African Ubuntu Safaris to organise all aspects of any proposed trip.

Outstanding tailored service from collection to drop off. Two wonderful 5 star lodges, big 5 +++
Communications were first rate throughout, Sandra from Traipsing checked in to see that all going well every few days
All private vehicle transport was on time and drivers proficient and very personable
The two lodges: Clifftop and Lush offered outstanding personal service and almost every amenity! Clifftop is more spectacular in situation, spaciousness and personalising but Lush goes the extra mile with attention to luxurious details (although did not have a laundry service and neither had heated plunge pools, Lush had no pool)
The game drives were truly wonderful with spectacular sightings and vistas
The rangers were expert with extra special commendation for Ranger Ruan at Lush
we are already planning a possible next adventure through Traipsing and definately recomending to friends!!!!!

Gorilla Tour
the tour was perfectly organized: Jackie was very flexible even on last minutes adjustments we had to make. The driver (Cesar) was very good, very proficient in english he brought us safely to the park and back to Kigali despite the fact that we set off at 4.00 am. He knew exactly how to best cross the border Rwanda/ Uganda saving us a lot of time. The tour was exactly as promised, no glitches etc. I can only recommend the tour & the tour operator!

Scammed.
Me and my wife set out on the three-day/two-night Masai Mara Tour Joining Safari with the promise of two half days and a full day of wildlife viewing in van catering to maximum 7 passengers but with supposedly only 5 passengers joining. The trip Nairobi to Masai Mara was supposed to take a maximim of 5 hours. Food and lodging was going to be basic but sufficient. That sounded somewhat tangible.
In practice what we received was two full days of travelling with 8 people in a van designed for 7 passengers. Day one and three consisted of 7-8 hours journey in each direction Nairobi to Masai Mara. In terms of wildlife viewing we had one somewhat full day (8 hours/6:45am to 3:45pm) and two very short days (45 mins + 90 mins). And in all honesty the food and lodging was tolerable at best.
We feel we have been subject to a scam, and every single tourist we met along the way had the same sad story to share.
Our word is to watch out... but then every operator seems to run the same type of scam, cartel-like with far too many middlemen getting their hands on the roughly USD 300 you are likely to part with for this Safari option.
In all fairness you get about 60 to 80 USD of value for this 3 day/2 night Safari. And that's generous.

Authentic, varied experiences. professional, friendly operator that truly understands customer needs
We had a great experience with Mega Wild Safaris and would have no hesitation in recommending them. From organising our trip with Anne to our collection at Entebbe Airport by Onan, through to Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking, National Park Safaris, local community experiences, night safari and wetlands swamp walk it was a great experience. We stayed in three locations visited numerous national parks and gained a real feel and understanding for local life and its people across Uganda. Accommodation was good, all providing WiFi - however the best WiFi was that provided by Mega Wild Safaris on their vehicle which was excellent. We would definitely recommend visiting Uganda and all it has to offer and would only do so using Mega Wild Safaris.
