Charles is an absolute professional in his field!
We were politely welcomed at the airport in Tanzania and informed about the following days and how they would proceed. Our guide Charles was an absolutely great safari guide who knew the best corners and spots in the parks. It was absolutely fun, we saw a lot (big 5! included) and had a great few days. The safari tour is definitely recommended!

Excellent
1st Safari and 1 I will treasure forever, I had the most amazing experience and will definately return to do another. We had a boat Safari on the 1st day, drive Safari on 2nd day and me and my girlfriend did a walk Safari on our last morning, our journey to Kinga Lodge was long but fun as there had been lots of rain so it was like a wild drive experience, our driver Steve had it all down to a fine art. A very experienced driver with an absolute perfect manner. Good job Steve. Next time can I try the wild roads lol.

Meek: reliable, adventurous and fun!
From start to finish, communication with MeekTrails was easy and Meek was very flexible in putting together an excellent 7-day safari program for us. Lodges and food were excellent. And our guide Anthony was not only a very skillful driver, he was also extremely knowledgeable on Kenyan culture, birds, plants and animals; knowing exactly where to go at what time and tweak the schedule accordingly. Anthony fulfilled on his promise of the Big Five, and we had good fun along the way!

For your own safety and money worthy, DON'T choose this fraud
I and my friends (4 persons) booked the 14 days Kenya&Tanzania trip(Sep 10 - Sep 23), and the whole trip became a nightmare since Day 6 until the end. Below are what happened to us, which might happen on you too. For your own safety and money worthy, NEVER EVER choose Seven by Far.
1. Became the hostage in the wilderness:
Seven by Far outsourced our Tanzania part to the local tour agency without telling us, and had payment issues with the local agency. The local agency refused to provide the service unless they received the full payments from Seven by Far. During the time, Seven by far just left us there. We had to communicate and negotiate with the local agency and pushed Seven to talk with THEIR OWN agency. They had the same payment issues with the Safari camp, the camp hold us there because they also did not receive the full payment. Instead of sending money to the camp, Seven asked us to pay the rest by our own and said they would refund us at the end of trip. This mess last 4 days and we lost 5 safari drives in Serengeti and had to change our rest of trip. In those 4 days, we were sucked there in anxiety and nervous and had to keep calling Seven by Far to resolve their own payment issues, but they just left us there. At the end, the Camp argued with Seven by Far and finally got full payment and allow us leave, and we paid by our own to the local tour agency to move our trip forward.
2. Never notify you when they made change in your trip:
They changed our accommodation from North Serengeti to Central Serengeti without any notification, downgraded from Rive Camp to Ikoma Camp for 2 nights, also downgraded the accommodation from AA lodge(4 stars) to the Kamala camp(1 star) for 2 nights in Amboseli. After we called them, their explanation was the original accommodations were not available. But should you notify the customers in advance instead of directly throwing the customers to a place they never expect?
3. Same story again, suck in any place you never expect:
In last day, Seven by Far booked the local driver to take us to the airport. Same story again that the local driver said they did not receive full payment so they would not provide us the transportation to the airport. We called Seven by far multiples times, they can't resolve it, then we paid our own to catch the flight.
4. Refund?
2 hrs before our flight, they showed us a paper and said they would refund. Since we were back from the trip, we spend 1 month to negotiate with them and finally reached agreement on the refund amount $1857. Then another round battle start, they kept saying they were processing the refund but until today(Nov 24), we did not receive even 1 penny and they become unreachable.

Very nice experience with Jimmy
Communication with the company has been good at all times. They are responsive and nice. The service was very good, as it was the value for money compared to other tour operators. Jimmy has always been kind and on time, and gave us a wonderful tour of Ugandan's forests in the south.

Fantastic
Amazing experience with luna's wild ride. Ana made every accomodation to ensure we had the exact trip we wanted while securing the best value for our dollars. Including Rashid, a fantastic guide, that exemplified through his actions the golden rules of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and "leave things better than you found them". We had opportunities to see wildlife that I truly believe would not have been possible without the goodwill Rashid created through his actions within the parks. Can't recommend enough!

One of the best holidays of my life
My tour through Uganda with Bugoli adventures was certainly one of my best experiences ever.
The guide was so welcoming, knowledgeable, caring and friendly. It felt like travelling with a friend who showed me his country.
The tour was perfectly organised and all special requests from my side were fulfilled.
The most impressive experience was the Gorilla Trekking in the Bwindi impenetrable forest. The nature lodge overlooking the mountains and then the trekking through the deepest forest to find a gorilla family very close was definitely one of the best things I had experienced in my life.
Also my Big5 safari was a highlight. I have been on several Safaris in other African countries before but never had such a good and knowledgeable safari guide than here. We spotted so many animals and learned so much about them.
What I like the most about Bugoli Adventures is the fact that it was founded to finance a NGO for children with albinism at risk. While you travel to have one of the beat trips of your life at the same time you support an NGO ❤️

Reliable Responsible local tour operator for Zimbabwe
My traveling companion and I booked a memorable diverse 12 day tour through the heart of Zimbabwe from Victoria Falls to the capital, Harere. Basically, this was a customized tour including safaris (many lions and rhinos!) , tours of the archeological sites of Khami and Great Zimbabwe, a visit with a delightful village family and a school. In eastern Zimbabwe, the National Parks afforded us the opportunity to zipline and do some hiking while enjoying the waterfalls. While driving through the mountains the scenery was wonderful. The tour company was extremely responsive over the several months it took us to plan and tweak this tour for the things we particulaly wanted to do. My questions were answered promptly and clearly which was a high priority for me. This is a local Zimbabwe company which conducted itself very professionally throughout the planning and execution of the tour. The guide was accommodating and generally flexible during the day to day options we had within reasonable parameters of time considerations etc. The tour totally met my expectations and I would not hesitate to book with them again.

What an amazing experience by Kanje grand tours
Our Tanzania safari was a mesmerizing journey through the heart of wildlife wonders. The Serengeti's vast plains unfolded a captivating tapestry of animal migrations, where the dance of predators and prey played out against a backdrop of golden savannah. Ngorongoro Crater's natural amphitheater showcased an astonishing concentration of diverse species, making every moment a unique spectacle. Tarangire National Park's ancient baobab trees and abundant elephants added a touch of majesty to the adventure. The expert guides and luxurious accommodations enhanced the overall experience, creating memories that will linger as vivid snapshots of the untamed beauty of Tanzania's wildlife.
Thank you Kanje grand tours for such an amazing Safari experience!!
