Amazing, well-organised tour across Zimbabwe and Botswana
During July, my boyfriend and I went on a Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) and Botswana 9 day tour with Africa Uncovered, with tour guide Tafara. We booked the tour super last minute (only a few weeks before), but Archie and Tafara were so accommodating and the organization of the trip was very smooth. We had the most incredible time exploring all the different magical spots of Botswana and seeing all the animals. We also really enjoyed getting to know Tafara, who was patient and kind, and gave us loads of information about his home country which was fascinating. We had lots of support from Tafara & Archie when my boyfriend came down with the flu, and was feeling very poorly - Tafara took him to a doctor, and was able to change some plans when necessary. They were also very supportive when we decided we did not want to camp in the bush, and helped to swap us back to the hotel. Overall, we'd really recommend both the tour and the company!

meticulous in the preps ,committed in the execution
communication was excellent during office hours for the local part. Communication was excellent 24/7 for the international part.
Service was excellent ,cristal clear and plenty in the privately owned accommodations ,Service was poor at the state owned accommodations .
Value for money was great, in fact ,it was more value for the money in our eyes.
Reliability was poor on the rental car side, but extraordinary on the tour operator side, Hats off, we felt pampered.
On the tour itself: we shot our-selfs in the foot by a tall order on "tings to see". We found out the country is bigger then we thought, and spent too much hours on relocating.
As with many "first visits" happen, you want really see all you can see. Lesson learned, curb your enthusiasm , and don't drive too long.
Our disappointment at Etosha was bigger then what we got told on the road by the privately owned accommodations. Etosha has got the name, but it's lack of commitment in the entrepreneur's sense is saddening. It might suit for self-drive campers, but it was mediocre in our pampered expectational eyes.
The above line is (obviously) a comparing/reflection to the INSANE LUSH/POSH/WANT OF NOTHING treatment we got at ALL the other accommodations. I have no words how good these are. The sun-rise/sun-sets, the food, the rooms, the hospitality ,the frankness shall remain in my heart for ever. Who puts a settee and a solar panel powered pink fridge in the middle of the desert ,filled with chilled refreshments ? (free of charge).
Mount Etjo Lodge and Omunga Bush Camp knocked all out of the ballpark. I wont tell, go and see, your jaw will drop !
Gondwana Sosusvalei is oozing "honeymoon". Its Braai is mindblowing.

Wonderful first safari experience
I used Escape to Adventure Safaris for my trip to Victoria falls and Botswana. It was my first safari and I was traveling solo. They were very organized, planned a great itinerary hitting all the highlights, and flexible at the same time. Harrison, our guide, was very kind, respectful, patient and caring. The guides on activities made me feel safe. I recommend this safari company.

An amazing and unforgettable experience, full of emotions!
My 11-day tour in Uganda with Buyaga far exceeded my expectations, and I had one of the most incredible, impressive and unforgettable trips of my life. From the very first message, Peter has always been extremely efficient, professional, passionate and flexible with our plans, providing detailed information on what to expect from every single experience. And after a flight cancellation, Peter was exceptional in helping me to find the best solution, allowing me to keep my schedule! Anderson, our guide, was incredibly kind and caring, with a positive attitude, always ready to answer our questions while taking good care of us. An excellent driver, Anderson was really tireless, in spite of the long drives, making each part of the trip so full of emotions. We had a great time together, and I really had a once-in-a-life experience! Everything was absolutely perfect, from the excellent accomodations, to the many different activities, to all the people we met. I can't thank Buyaga, Peter and Anderson enough! But I am pretty sure we will meet again, in Uganda...

Fantastic, well organized and dedicated to excellent service.
A fantastic experience, well organized and with great employees. It is a great deal, the Radisson hotel is tremendous and everything you need. MoAfrica was always on time to pick us up and all the employees were fantastic, especially Eddy, Great, and Ruben. We were never packed into a safari car or felt like we were being rushed anywhere. Highly recommend the additional sunrise tour too, fantastic. Overall A+, really impressed.

Responsive, accommodating, flexible, and affordable!
We booked a trip to East Africa with Dickson, and it was a trip of a lifetime! He worked tirelessly with me to come up a personalized itinerary that fit our schedule and our budget.
We climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, went on safari in Maasai Mara, and went gorilla tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. His company offered the trip at a more reasonable rate than other companies we looked into.
Dickson was very responsive and patiently answered all of my questions leading up to our trip. He was flexible and accommodating.
We also really appreciated that he used locally owned and operated companies for our tours.
Dickson went the extra mile by coming to personally meet us at our hotel in Nairobi, which was so thoughtful.
We highly recommend you book with this company if you are travelling to East Africa

Very beautiful experience
We were in 4 and were picked up in Zanzibar to fly to Arusha for a 3 days safari including Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara national parks. Everything was very fine thanks to a very good organization. Many thanks to Robert, who remotely supported us, and Frankie, our guide during the safari. Highly recommended
