Amazing Experience
I booked the 6-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli tour with them and I couldn't be happier with their service. Although it was a budget tour, their service was professional through and through. The communication before the trip was always prompt and detailed. The drivers/guides are experienced and patient. You can easily pay 3 times more money for a more luxurious trip and you'll see exactly the same animals. I would 100% recommend them to someone travelling on a budget and wants value for their money.

Wonderful experience!! Just need more clear communication with the company/tour operators
Beautiful scenery, parks and accommodation. The accommodation was very beautiful and had warm showers and amazing views. We felt like royalty. We saw elephants, lions hippos, lots of birds, lots of monkeys etc. The food was delicious and you get ALOT of delicious food.
I would recommend better communication with the tour operators and the clients. Our itinerary was changed a couple of times without our knowledge and we were a little upset with this. One of the hotels was not available and they wanted to put us in a place that had bad reviews. We did get a nice place in the end but it was a little stressful. We also felt a little pressured to tip every single guide on the gorilla trek, chimp trek and multiple community walks we went on. We spent over $4500 for the tour and didn't think we would need to tip every single person we encountered. I would suggest the tour include tips if this is necessary for Ugandan customs and cultural norms. We didn't mind tipping here and there but every single hotel staff, trekkers, boat crews and cultural guides would have cost us over $1500 USD.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and Uganda is a very beautiful and friendly country.

The highest standard of commitment and professionalism paired with deep local knowledge and passion
I was incredibly impressed with the standard and attention to detail of the service we received from Clare in setting up the trip.
We were able to customise the trip completely and get door to door pick ups and drop offs that were many hours drive away.
Our guide Lenny was highly professional and knowledgeable, while also having a great sense of humour and being a pleasure to spend time with.
Lenny's passion for the wildlife and the areas we visited really brought the trip to life. The one time there was a slight accommodation issue (not due to Kiboko) he went well beyond the line of duty to get it sorted quickly.
Finally I thought the trip was excellent value, given we had a 4x4 for just the two of us and complete service throughout the 4.5 days.
Kiboko Kenya Safaris are a class act.

Beyond expectation. We had a 21 day tour through Uganda. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Small scale accomodations were very good. Nathan is a perfect guide because of his love for the nature and wildlife.

Awesome 11-Days Safari Trip
The communication with the Company was very good. Answers always came in a few hours and all information we needed was given.
At the beginning of the tour the friendly guide and driver picked us up at the hotel in Johannesbourg and explaines everything very good.
We choosed the camping oportunity and this was very nice. We got tents and mattresses from Jobovic and the team showed us how to built it and gave us always important information about the place and for what we have to pay attention.
The whole tour was very interesting and we saw a lot of animals and we had a very nice time. The food was very nice. It was simple cooked breakfast/lunch/dinner but for a caomping side it was very good.
All in all I can really recommend this company and If I want to join a sfari again I'll choose this company again!

Amazing experience with an exceptional guide.
We had an amazing experience with Mama Savana. In the lead up to our safari, they were very prompt and responsive to all our queries. We were fortunate to have Harun as our safari guide. I'd say what made our safari special was 50% the animals and 50% Harun. He had the eyes of a hawk and the brain of David Attenborough. His love of animals was contagious. We got to see three lion hunt fails and on the last day, we saw a pride of lions take down a buffalo. We saw a lazy leopard barely notice a family of warthogs graze beneath his branch. We saw a herd of 50 beautiful elephants emerge from nowhere. We were expecting much more primitive accommodation, but the lodges were as comfortable and welcoming as any high end hotel. If I could have my time again, I'd spend a 3 days (instead of 2) in the Serengetti, but the safari itself was about as close to perfect as you could get.
Professional and friendly staff
Daily Expeditions Limited provided a great service from our first contact until the goodbye in the airport. Contacting, negotiating and paying for our reservation was smooth. Our guide and cooker were very professional and friendly. The food was great! We had a problem with our flight in our arrival and Frank provided all the support needed and he was very flexible. Thank you so much, Daily Expeditions Limited, we highly recommend this company.

Detail Oriented Safari Company in Kenya
We've travelled to Kenya several times and after not being happy with our previous agent (got our booking mixed up) we tried Shoor Safaris and I couldn't be happier. Wonderful service from the get go with fast communication via email with Sanjay & Fiona.
Trip, though in nature quite complex with a combination if Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda, went very well indeed.
Thanks again to all the team at Shoor !
