AWFUL
I'm glad this company is no longer allowed on here as in our opinion we have been scammed. Unfortunately I had purchased a safari with them before they were taken off of here. I'm so upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has ruined my honeymoon entirely and am out about $2600 Canadian. Please be more careful when choosing tour companies that can advertise on here.

21 Days Grand Uganda Rwanda Safari
I had a truly wonderful 21 day safari with Bugoli Adventures. It was a last minute decision to visit Uganda and Rwanda. Without much preparation time, the booking process was still very personal. Michael has put together the perfect itinerary taking into account my preferences: a mix of different wildlife and cultural experiences as well as some hiking activities.
My safari then started at the airport in Entebbe, where I was picked up by Michael and my guide Silver. Silver was absolutely great: As a very experienced driver, he knew all the best routes and made my trip safe and comfortable. In addition, he has eagle eyes and could spot wildlife from a great distance. So I saw all the Big Five and collected a lot of amazing photos. My personal wildlife highlight of the trip was definitely visiting the gorillas in Bwindi.
As a solo traveler, I opted for budget accommodations to cut down on my expenses. However, the accommodations selected by Michael really exceeded my expectations: the rooms were spacious and clean, mostly with a great view. Ideal for relaxing after a long day of driving. The 3 course meals at their restaurants were delicious. The meals were carefully selected in personal consultation with their chef.
In closing, I would like to highly recommend Bugoli Adventures to help you create an unforgettable safari experience.

Not professionel
We have booked 2 safaris, the first was planned with 4 nights and the 2nd with 5 nights (so it was in the mail and was also paid). The first safari went well, we have also seen many animals, the guide really tried hard. On the 2nd safari we were told after the 4th day that tomorrow is the last day. Astonished we said that according to the mail the safari lasts 5 nights and 6 days. Suddenly nobody wanted to know anything about that. After a phone call and SMS to George, he then admitted that there is probably a misunderstanding, he actually meant only 4 nights even if there are 5 nights! Astonished and annoyed, we tried to make it clear to him that we expect 5 nights at this price according to the mail. George does not want to know anything about it and there was also no compensation. The end of the safari was accordingly bad, as we desperately tried to get another accommodation at a reasonable price! Thus, we have now paid an extra night and also the full price - which was for 5 nights. From our point of view, this is pure rip-off. Who books here, must clarify beforehand how many days and nights are included in the booking to avoid nasty surprises. We do not recommend this tour operator

Incredible
Very nice experience with Calvin, a guide who made us see lots of different animals thanks to his responsiveness and perseverance. I recommend Safari Avventura for their professionalism and for the quality of food and hotels offered which were amazing.
The organization was present and our guide was able to keep us safe throughout the stay.

Organized, serious and caring
If you want to spend a safari stay, I recommend Safari Avventura and especially their guide, Calvin, who knew how to be persevering so that we could see as many animals as possible. Thanks to him, we really appreciated because we were safe, serene, and we were very well received (food and hotel).
Calvin knew how to take care of us and everything is organized.

Professional, courteous and knowledgeable - Seven By Far are THE safari experts.
We have just returned from the trip of a lifetime in Magical Kenya. Thank you so much Seven By Far for making our dream holiday become a reality. All our expectations were met and surpassed. From my first interaction with Sylvester at Seven By Far I was assured that the company would work with us to plan the trip as we wanted it to be and to ensure all our wishes were met. I told Sylvester we wanted to see as many animals and as much of the country as possible and together we put together the most amazing 13 day safari. We visited Amboseli, Aberdare, Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the fabulous Maasai Mara where we ended our trip with an early morning balloon safari. Anthony was our driver and guide throughout the trip and thanks to his knowledge and experience of the area we had the most fantastic safari drives where we came across the Big 5 and more on several occasions! Driving between the National Parks we experienced the beauty of the Kenyan landscape as it changed from almost desert conditions in Samburu to the lush arable pastures in the Kenyan highlands. Throughout our journies Anthony educated us in the history of the local areas and made sure we didn't miss any items of interest.
I cannot thank Sylvester, Anthony and Silvia at Seven By Far enough for organising such a wonderful adventure for us. I have to admit that at the start I was a bit dubious about organising a trip online, but Sylvester provided me with a whats app number and we had numerous calls during which all my doubts were removed. Everything went as we had agreed - Sylvester met us at the airport and from then on we didn't have to worry about a thing - everything was organised for us. Our accommodation and food in each of the lodges was excellent and Anthony ensured we had everything we needed. This was our first trip to Africa but it will not be our last and we will definitely use Seven By Far again - I have already recommended them to family and friends. THANK YOU

The entire journey was more than I expected. Our Tour Guide “James “ was amazing he showed me and my family a lot things!! Maasai Mara was one of my favourite..!
Do not forget to ask for Amboselli game we loved it.
