Fantastic Trip of a Lifetime
I had been on a safari the the Massai Mara in Kenya before, but this time I took my entire family. Wife, 2 kids (9 and 10) and my aging parents. Tanzania did not let us down. We did the northern loop (Tarangire, Manyara, Crater, Serengeti) and saw so much wildlife that we still think about it a year later. The landscapes are beautiful and the animals are breathtaking.
Some of the spots like the crater and around central serengeti are busy. Your guide makes your trip hands down. If you have an guide that just cares about time and not his clients, you will have a less than great stay. Our guide went above and beyond to cater to our every need and what we wanted to get out of each day. go to the busy areas first and then branch out to see what Tanzania has to offer. I recommend not staying in the large "tourist processing centers" but the tented camps.....What an adventure.
I cannot wait to go back.

Our excellent tour guide and driver took us on a wildlife safari that was a trip of a lifetime.
We were very satisfied with Bright African Safaris. We saw lots of big game, and beautiful scenery. Our guide and driver (Juma) was excellent. Not only was he very knowledgeable about wildlife, he was friendly and eager to take us everywhere to see the animals at the best possible locations.

Amazing
Safari was amazing, booking agent was brilliant and very helpful, answered every email and question I had and organised transfers very well. Stayed at kichwa tempo which was beautiful, it had a very personal touch, the lodges were perfect and the food was lovely. Our guide was brilliant and went out his way to make sure we see whatever we was interested in. Weather was hot in day time slightly cold of night time and early mornings. Overall had one of the best times in my life here was absolutely perfect.

I could not have imagined a better company with better tourguides
Traveling to Uganda? This is why you should consider Cul Tours!
I have been travelling a lot as a backpacker, I aim for the real, cultural and local experience. In a country like Uganda you need a "key" to enter these local experiences and get heart to heart with the people and their culture, and for me, this key was Cul Tours. I have never met a guide, let me say human being, that was so eager to provide the ultimate customer service, so caring and flexible to my wants and needs!
Communication is straight forward and fast, the company is run by Ugandans. It's definitely possible to stitch together a tour that suits you with the things you find most interesting - on a side-note I recommend to discuss with them and listen to their recommendations, they really do have vast knowledge of Uganda.
I asked for local, I got local! They took me to dance in a village, had me taste all the wondrous and peculiar foods, took me hiking in Sipi Falls and Mount Elgon - dined with a local family, drank locally brewed traditional beer (was even offered the full ceremony including circumcision, but humbly turned down the offer). Walked through a fishing community, tasted their dried fish and embraced all the curious and excited children that rarely see white people... I slept in clay and straw huts, they're fantastic to sleep in because they're cool in the nights.
I visited orphanages, there's a particular one in the West Nile Region in Koboko at the border of South Sudan and Congo that stole my heart.
I also went for the safaris, and they are as you might expect if you've watched National Geographic, Animal Planet etc., amazing experience - though you do see many tourists, you don't see them much when on the actual safaris and it doesn't feel crowded, unless it's the boat safari.
When it comes to expectations, I must say they were not only met but exceeded. There are other, larger companies in Uganda but the word goes they're too mainstream and boring, with Cul Tours you'll be sure to be in for an extraordinary experience.
I'll visit Uganda again, and I'll ask for Cul Tours' guide Stephen - the most sympathetic, understanding and smiling man of Uganda.

Kapama Southern camp was fantastic in every aspect the accommodation and facilities at the camp were great, the staff were great, our guide was great, we got to see the Big 5 all of them several times plus so many other animals in a relaxed fun environment.

Dreams became true!
Amazing safari week by BeaconSafaris visiting Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, West and East Tsavo. High class driver/guide, pleasant true luxury accommodation in lodges inside parks. No words about nature and wildlife-only senses and emotions. Attractive 1week stay on ocean cost in Miami Beach.

Game drives are amazing, fascinating and unforgettable adventures.
The game drives are amazing, fascinating and unforgettable adventure, mainly the early safaris, where beyond the wild life you can appreciate a sunset. Kruger’s park is fabulous and absolutely, beautiful.
I would like to highlight that beyond safari, I travelled to different places in Africa, such as Johannesburg, Cape Town, Garden Route and in all of them, I spent amazing time. A very kind and friendly people, very good food, good wines and very professional services. Because, I was alone my trip in the Garden Route was with Baz Bus. It was awesome. I would like to point out profissional andfriendly services of Baz Bus drivers. In additon, I had an oportunity to meet and talk to people from different countries. Baz Bus is an excellent option to know the Garden Route, mainly if you are alone or do not rent a car. Travelling around South Africa was an amazing and unforgettable experience. I hope to visit Africa again in a near future. I DO RECOMMEND.
A negative point of my trip was that a guide (MMILO TOURS) who I have not known because each game drive safari was with a different guide, simply let me waiting for him or her from 3:00 H in the morning until almost 5:00 and did not come to pick me up for my last booked safari. It was a disappointing, disagreeable and frustrating experience. It was my last chance to see leopard that is mainly a nocturnal in habit. Later, I knew that it happens with a certain frequency with this tour agency
PLEASE, BE AWARE OF THE TOUR AGENCY WE CONTRACT TO AVOID DISAGREABLE SURPRISES IN YOUR SAFARIS.
