Just perfect!
We went on a five day safari through Northern Tanzania with Dismas, our driver and it was just perfect. Dismas is very experienced and professional, a safe driver and knows basically *everything* about the parks, the wildlife and the way of living and traditions about the people and the Maasai in particular. We saw the Big 5 and even more in just 48 hours and Dismas tried to accommodate us at all times.
The lodges and tent camps amazed us with their hospitality, food, atmosphere and locations. Especially Sengaiwe Lodge and Tukaone Camp were absolutely stunning. We were sad to leave but Dismas even went the extra mile (literally) to drive us 2 hrs to our next accommodation after the safari.
Last but not least, Louise's communication with us before our trip was what made us decide to go with African Ambition Tours in the first place and not with anybody else. She always responded quickly answered all our questions and tailored the trip to our needs.
Our thanks go out to both of them, 100% recommendable!! Hope to come back one day!

Amazing experience from start to finish
We joined a 9-day Uganda trip organized by Rogers, he was also our driver and tour guide.
As a tour operator he has been extremely responsive, attentive and providing great ideas / recommendations in customizing our itinerary.
As a driver, he is a very careful and safe driver and we felt we were in good hands driving in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in narrow muddy road fills with holes under the heavy rain, and many other under developed roads within the country.
As a tour guide he possesses vast knowledge of his country’s history, cities, wildlife and that has made our trip extremely fruitful and memorable. He has gone all the way to ensure we get the best experience (he drove tirelessly for 2 hours in QENP looking for tree climbing lions) and is flexible at the same time (we detoured to Mabamba for the incredible shoebill watching).
He became a friend after 9 days.
We were very grateful to have Rogers organized this trip for us. This company, although started small and still at its growth stage, has lots of potential and we wish Rogers and his company the very best in bringing this great country and its unique aspects to the world.

Fantastic Safari Experience
I just returned from a 10-day Safari with Fig Tree Tours and travel. It was an incredible experience and included 4 National Parks within Tanzania, a Maasai Village Visit, a village walk experience, and visiting a primary school. The wildlife was abundant and included some of the best I have seen (12 previous Safaris). We were fortunate to see a lioness with cubs, leopard, cheetah, many plains species, and incredible birds. The vehicles were "pop-top" types in excellent condition. Our driver/ guide was very knowledgeable and the naturalist a fountain of information not only on the wildlife but also on the landscape and fauna. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for the adventure of a lifetime without forgetting the manager Rejeael who was flexible and tailored our itinerary to fit our interests!

What a great way to discover Uganda!
Just returned from a three day safari with Pamoja Tours & Travel, and I had the privilege of having Sperito Mukiibi as my guide. What an amazing trip it has been. The beauty of the nature, how close you get to lions, baboons, antelopes, elephants, giraffes and many more. But for all of that to discover you need a good guide. One that knows the routes and the places. Sperito @ Pamoja is one of those guides. He is very knowledgeable and shares the insights of Uganda in a clear way. He also has the flexibility to go and see other things if you want to. I went onto a cultural walk in a little village in Pakwatch that Sperito had arranged with a local guide.
All in all a fantastic experience, mostly enabled by a great guide. Thank you Pamoja. Thank you Sperito.

Driver had no safari, wildlife experience
In general it was ok. Good safari car, efficient communication, the lodges including the right tents where booked however - for us the most important - the driver had no safari experience. So, he was NOT able to tell us anything about the wild life and he did not once showed wildlife based on his observation. As those organizations work with independent drivers, with a different driver experience can be completely different. Advice: ask for cv of driver.

A MUST VISIT UGANDA WITH BIRD'S NEST SAFARIS
We had an amazing safari with Bird's Nest Safaris.
The booking process was all handled wholesomely well through Email and everything went on well and promptly.
On landing at Entebbe Airport our driver/Guide was already happily waiting for us, welcomed us and transferred us to our lodge which gave us an overview and highlight of our 13 day Safari.
Our Driver Daniel was extremely reliable, knowledgeable and informed about his country Uganda and everything, very friendly and always available to answer all our questions and was almost a friend to everyone in the parks and lodges we went. On top of the Amazing Mountain Gorilla and Chimpanzee Tracking experience, we were also amazed on how our Driver/Guide Daniel spotted the distant Lions in the tree branches in Ishasha while doing a game drive.
We really enjoyed the routes taken, the wildlife, scenery and the stunning location of our Lodges with perfect views.
We experienced Uganda more than we ever expected and will return for sure.
Thanks to Bird's Nest Safaris/ Patience for making our Safari Memorable.

Fantastic and perfect organised journey in Uganda with Grassrootz
Very good organised trip all around Uganda. So much to see, such nice people. Our excellent guide and driver Paul Buzinde took us (5 persons) from Entebbe to Lake Bunyonyi and to the wonderful National Parks Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls. Most exciting was the Chimpansee Tracking in Kibale National Park. From the west to the beautiful mountains in the east part of Uganda. Especially the visit of the cattle market in Kotido (Karamoja area) was very interesting. The mountains near Kapchorwa are very beautiful and worth visiting.
Uganda is a fantastic destination.
We really recommand Grassrootz Adventures if you want to visit Uganda.

15 Days Big Five and Primates Safari
The 15 days in Uganda were incredibly beautiful! All the days were perfectly organized by Sander and his driver David is a very friendly and reliable person! He gave us a lot of background information about the country.
Uganda inspired us and put South Africa in the shade. All these colours, people and nature made us happy every day!
We'll come again ;-)
