Just do yourself favor, stop thinking about it and go! Everyone must experience this,at least once!
5/5

There is not enough space to put this place and experience in words.

The experience we got was multiple times better than we expected. First of all, Charles (Exclusive Uganda Safaris) is an absolute professional,
responsive, responsible and friendly. Ismail, our guide was born for this. Professional, knowledgable, problem solver,
funny, communicative and an insanely skilled driver which is very important.

We had our doubts in the beginning as it was our first time in Africa. Don't! There is no reason to have second thoughts
of visiting Uganda, and especially with operators as good as Charles.

We also had our doubts aboout the bank transfers. Again, dont. They are there, they are the best and there is no reason to be
afraid of the transfers or anything in the process. Charles will help you through this and you will thank yourself for
doing this.

Malaria is nothing to worry about if you take your pills, and spray insect repellant. All of the accomodations also have nets.
There is no chance of harm.

The food was a major concern for us, but Uganda surprised us again. The quality and taste of food there is something
to remember. And I want to mention that I am Greek, I know good food. So food will definately not be a trouble for you.
Meat, vegetables, soups, all dishes are fresh, well cooked and have no chance of stomach issues.

The conditions in some areas do not prevent the people of being the most friendly, kind and welcoming. You will always
feel well taken care of and safe. Safety is not something to worry about.
There is no place that you will visit (unless you want to) that you will not be 100% safe. The country is not only its animals.
The best experiences and interactions are with its people. Do not avoid interacting and meeting with them in any place, they are the
true value of the country.

As for the safari and nature experience, I have travelled a lot and visited a lot of different nature parts.
Just go. Dont even think about it. From the open Savanah, to Tropical Rainforest, to beautiful gorges, lakes, mountains.
And everything is ther for you to appreiate and enjoy. You can hike in the jungle (always safe and proteted with guides and armed guards)
listening to and seeing animals close to you. Drive through the mountains and villages of Uganda and seeing the peoples way of living.

To sum up, Uganda is really a place that is developing and will for sure explode in the coming years. I think this is the spot on destination
in Africa right now, on all perspectives. And with great operators like Charles and his Exclusive Uganda Safaris team there is nothing left to think about.

More than perfect!
5/5

Our trip with Plex Africa Safari was one of the best things we have ever experienced. We booked the 4-day tour to Nyerere National Park from Zanzibar. Even beforehand, contact with Edward was extremely friendly and competent. All of our questions were answered very quickly and comprehensively. We always had a good feeling. On the day of arrival, we were picked up on time and driven to the airport. Everything went smoothly. Shabani and Eugenio welcomed us on site. The two of them were absolutely the best! They were very funny and informative and gave us an unforgettable time. Thank you Shabani, thank you Eugenio! We can absolutely recommend booking with Plex Africa Safaris. The price was more than reasonable for the service!

Perfect, everything was covered.
5/5

Our tour to Tarangire and Ngorongoro was amazing; it was for sure a „once in a lifetime“ experience. We had a very good tour guide who told us about all the animals and got a cosy accomodation for the night. Lunch(2x), dinner and breakfast were provided and we were all picked up& brought back to our accomodations around Arusha.
I would definitely safari with LEM !

Amazing organisaties with beautiful accomodations
5/5

In addition to the beautiful nature, super friendly people and all the animals. The accommodations exceeded our expectations. The staff was super friendly, it was very clean and super luxurious, in the middle of the Bush. The location on Rift Valley in particular made our jaws drop. 😍

In addition to the accommodations, we also had a super good guide who took us everywhere with enthusiasm and could tell us all about everything. Justin is really great and you should be careful with such a person within the organization. We would like to give a lot of compliments to Justin, because without him the holiday would probably be a lot less interesting.

The contact with the main office was also very nice! They responded quickly and all our questions/comments were answered/addressed properly.

All in all, we look back on the trip of our lives and it will be very difficult to top this.

An Unforgettable Journey Crafted to Perfection
5/5

Our trip, organized by Serengeti African Tours, was nothing short of extraordinary. Divided into three parts—Kilimanjaro, Safari, and Zanzibar—each segment was meticulously planned and executed, leaving us with memories that will last a lifetime.

**Kilimanjaro (6 Days)**
Climbing Kilimanjaro was the toughest yet most incredible experience of our lives. It pushed both our minds and bodies to the limit. We wouldn’t have made it to the summit without the unwavering support and expertise of our lead guide, Israel, our assistant guide, Oscar, and the rest of the dream team. Every detail was planned to perfection. The food was excellent, and the level of service and helpfulness from everyone involved was beyond anything we could have imagined.

**Safari**
Our safari took us to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, and it was an absolute dream. Our guide, Dickson, was nothing short of amazing. He had an incredible ability to be in the right place at the right time, allowing us to witness breathtaking wildlife moments, including a cheetah sighting! Dickson’s knowledge, combined with his ability to speak Spanish, made the experience even more special and enjoyable.

**Zanzibar**
After our adventures, all we wanted to do was relax, and Serengeti African Tours made sure that’s exactly what we did in Zanzibar. The Z Hotel was phenomenal. The breakfast was one of the best we’ve ever had, the food, in general, was delicious, and the staff was superb, ensuring every moment of our stay was perfect.

A special shout-out goes to Safina, the mastermind behind this unforgettable journey. Safina’s meticulous planning and attention to detail made this trip seamless and truly exceptional. Thank you for making this adventure possible!

*** Professional Local Tour Operator!***
5/5

My Partner and I enjoyed a 7 day tour with Tubale which included Ziwa, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, Kibale and Bwindi. Annette's communication and organisation was first class and we were impressed with the quality of the "Mid-Range" accomodation provided.

Our guide Arthur was extremely knowledgeable in relation to wildlife, culture and history. His network and ability to track animals made this an unforgettable experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with him and learned much about the beautiful land of Uganda and East Africa in general.

We had high expectations for our trip and safe to say they were exceeded!

Tubale is a professional and locally owned and tour operator, I can whole heartedly reccomend booking a tour with them.

Thank you Annette and Arthur!

Regards,
Al

Incredible safaris agent
5/5

We have an incredible safari with Amshar. Edward

We have an incredible 7-days safari with Amshar. Edward is responsive and always addressed our concerns quickly. The meal and the accommodation are good. Our guide, Benedict, is the most important factor we recommend Amshar. He was super professional and very good at targeting animals. He can always find the best spot for watching animals, sometimes the spots are not found by other drivers. Because of this, we saw all big fives clearly, and we saw incredible river crossings. We definitely recommend Benedict as your driver!

Asante sana - Suricata - best experience ever!!!
5/5

We booked a 5-day tour with Suricata, and first and foremost, a huge shout-out to our guide Lewis💪, who went above and beyond to make this trip an incredible experience. Lewis knows all the national parks very well—we visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater with him. He is an excellent and experienced driver and guide, and we never felt unsafe! Lewis did everything he could to bring us closer to his country, especially its nature—we saw the "Big Five" of Africa with him, and much more beyond that. Asante sana, Lewis!

Communication with Suricata was absolutely transparent, professional, and smooth from the planning stage. They organized the transport from the airport, and we were able to express our preferences for tour routes and hotel selections beforehand.

Another highlight was staying at Suricata’s Boma Lodge, beautifully located at Lake Manyara. All the staff there were amazing and very helpful.

You can tell that the entire Suricata team does their work with great joy and passion, especially among the guides, who have a wonderful friendship — many greetings to Lewis, Amiri, Mandela, Daniel, and Mr. T!

Staying in the tented lodges was a true adventure for us; nowhere else can you experience nature more authentically!

Most efficient with attention to detail- great dedication to plans holiday of a lifetime
5/5

First safari and first time in Africa for us. Chose Botswana as a destination as we were looking for the best safari experience. This is a country that delivers the most unique wilderness, wildlife in abundance and a remarkable history. We were also looking for a high end, luxurious holiday where for higher cost we would have the privilege to discover the African wildlife and nature without the crowds. Also found the environment and wildlife policies of the Botswana government quite visionary with sustainability in mind. Before booking this holiday, we had never heard of the company Safari Online but we would never choose anyone else as they delivered a most exquisite and unforgettable holiday for us on every level. The accommodations were most luxurious with 4* or 5* rating, quite a few of them won prices for their efforts in ecotourism. The hospitality, food and the activities organised were incredible. We travelled between six destinations and the transfers were always smooth, reliable and comfortable. The commitment of the staff was remarkable and their knowledge of wildlife and their enthusiasm helped us experience an unforgettable holiday. We fell in love with Africa - and cannot wait to return again.
