Excellent Safari
From the minute one to the end the company has made it very easy, both in transport, accommodation, visits ... Above all we have seen the Big Five, among other spectacular scenes of the Savannah, thanks to the intuition and experience of our driver and guide, Nicolás. The charming accommodations, exceeded our expectations. Many thanks to the Seven by Far team, we recommend it 100%.

Tour of a lifetime!
Had an amazing time out in Kenya with our guide Peter who not only was a great host for our trip but also provided us with extensive knowledge about the safari animals and wildlife out on the reserve. Our host was incredibly helpful from start to finish, finding us the best rooms in hotels and lodges, keeping us organised and even arranging a secret wedding anniversary surprise for my wife and I which was greatly appreciated. An all-round fantastic company, would thoroughly recommend!

Perfectly well organized
Best experience ever!
Ngoni Safaris Uganda provided us the best trip we ever had! We spent 3 weeks in amazing Uganda and the experience was incredible. The driver they provided us was very professional and we were very happy with him. The tour operator company also did a great job in arrangements and bookings, we didn't have a single problem in all the trip. I would totally repeat the experience and I recommend 100% this tour operator, totally worth it.

Outstanding customer care.
Excellent Safari Adventure
We had a group of 5. We took an evening sunset game drive at Murchison National Park and an early morning sunrise game drive. Both were exceptional. We saw a lot of wildlife - elephants, giraffes, lion, lioness, hippos etc. Our guides especially Sedrick did a good job of explaining different parts of the trip. Our group has used Ngoni Safaris Uganda Company. This was my first time with this crew I can see why we continue to use them. Their service is awesome! I would highly recommend them!

Exceptional 17 Day ‘Bucket List’ trip
Every aspect of this holiday was exceptional. Justus worked closely with me and my friends (we were a group of 4 women) to create the itinerary and select the right experience. He was knowledgeable, responsive and flexible. The references from other happy clients were impeccable. Our driver/guide Charles was excellent. We travelled from Kigali to Uganda and visited Lake Bunyonyi, Bwindi (did two incredible gorilla treks - not to be missed!), Queen Elizabeth part, Kibale (for the chimp trek) and Murchison Falls. Charles was an amazing safari guide and we saw two (yes two!) leopards, lions, elephants, giraffe, etc in the national parks. Our accommodations were amazing and lots of variety - lodges, tented camp (Ishasha) and unique cottages/chalets (Agandi, Papaya Lake). Justus also included several boating and cultural excursions so we really felt like we got to know Uganda. Uganda is very safe, beautiful geography and the people are very friendly. I’d highly recommend Uganda as a holiday destination and Gorilla Bookings as the tour company. We loved every moment.

Friendly, experienced guide and pretty well organized trip all in all.
I have some recommendations to help improve future guided tours.
First, avoiding Kampala as much as possible is what all of us agreed on. It is not fun to drive through. The Cassia Lodge there had beautiful views but was my least favorite of the places we stayed. Staying in Entebbe seems better, as it was much more pleasant.
The salt extraction tour should be removed from future tours, I can't see any tourist interested in that, plus it was pretty gross.
Green World had great communications before the trip. They answered all our questions. Communication during trip sometimes needed to be stronger, giving us concrete times to be places with precise instructions. It was really close to being perfect, but there were at times frustration from people thinking they heard different times and what to do at those times. Perhaps writing in on a small tablet with dry erase pens each day, as it's sometimes hard to hear at lodges?
Tips for all guides on ALL excursions (boat trips, ranger led trips, Botwa tribe tour, etc etc) should just be included in the price of the tour. We REALLY REALLY hated having to figure out by surprise that there were more people to tip along the trip and to bring all that cash and figure out tips each day. THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATION for Green World, just add a few hundred dollars to your price and your guides cover all tips for hotel staff, guides, rangers, schools visited, etc etc. We did not like that every person we met we just felt like it was a money grab. We actually got really sick of this- we visit a school, they want money. We visit the Botwas, they several times/places ask for money. IT WAS ENDLESS! Please consider this, as it diminished our trip.
Really besides the tipping, everything else was minor and our trip was thoroughly enjoyable. We went to see the animals, and we saw tons! Thanks to Betty, Moses and George- we loved them all!

Scam and terrible experience
This is a scam, terrible experience and the Kenya authorities should take action against this man called Otieno

Best holiday ever with ATP TOURS
We had a safari from Nairobi to the coast seeing Nakuru, Masaai Mara and Amboseli. From beginning of the booking to our driver KASIMU, it was such a great pleasure. Kasimu is a very professional person, friendly, smart and very fast in answering all our questions. Kasimu was spotting for us very special places, we even saw the big migration of the wildebeest crossing the river mara. Lions, elephants, lepards, cheetahs, zebras plus plus plus. Kasimu told us a lot about every animal and also about the places where we went. He was funny and very smart and always made a special day for us. We highly recommend booking with them. It was one of our best travels ever....
Thank you; we will definitely come back to you #ATP TOURS #SMILES

Now that was a great trip!
Our group of 13 has just returned from a wonderful 4-day safari experience with Wild Wings Safaris. It was an easy process right from the beginning working with Cathari, our reservations manager. She was always prompt with replies and answers to questions. All of the pre-trip arrangements regarding dietary needs, pick-up location, etc., were met without any problems. Our shuttle from Nelspruit to the Kruger Gate was waiting for us on arrival, as were our two guides, Rufus and Edward when we arrived at the park gates. They were terrific - friendly throughout the trip, were good at spotting the wildlife and providing information for each animal, and they went out of their way to provide good viewing opportunities. The accommodations in Skukuza Camp were excellent, as were the meals that were prepared by Jacques. And the wildlife did not disappoint either. Everyone saw the Big 5 (more than once), as well as many other varieties of animals. Thank you Wild Wings Safaris.
