Phenomenal First Trip to Africa!
I heard about Wild Discoveries Safaris from a friend of mine. I was in the process of planning my first trip to Africa and she highly recommended using them after having such a great experience with them herself. I wanted to be able to customize my itinerary based on several suggestions I had received from friends on places to go in Kenya and Uganda and it was imperative that I worked with someone whom I could trust and also had an established reputation in the industry, especially since this was my first visit to Africa. I cannot stress enough how valuable this company was to me before my arrival and throughout my entire time there. They had local contacts in every area that I wanted to visit and they offered behind the scenes unique experiences that I could not find anywhere else. I felt completely safe and taken care of every step of the way. They also took all of the unnecessary stress out of booking the trip. I just gave them my list of preferences and my top priorities and they worked out an amazing itinerary, which included everything I wanted and more. In Kenya, I visited the largest ivory burn site and enjoyed a game drive in Nairobi National Park. I also visited Mbegu, a baby elephant I had adopted at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which rescues orphaned baby elephants, rehabilitates them and integrates them back into the wild once they are ready. I trekked mountain gorillas in Bwindi, visited an amazing chimp sanctuary on Ngamba Island, had a unique experience playing with baby chimps at UWEC , spent time with a family of rhinos at Ziwa rhino sanctuary, went on a game drive in Queen National Park and another one in Murchison Falls where we used a trusted local park guide who allowed us to see elephants, giraffes, Cape buffalo, kob, wart hogs, hartebeest, waterbucks, bushbucks, various bird species among other amazing animals, all ending with an intimate viewing of 5 lionesses reuniting at sunset after a long day of wandering throughout the savanna. I also took a river cruise along the Nile River and watched hippos and their babies playing in the water, spotted some Nile crocs and watched a family of elephants bath in the water while various birds and eagles sat majestically in plain viewing site just waiting for their pictures to be taken. The drivers were all amazing and their hospitality was unmatched. I highly recommend anyone traveling to Africa to use Wild Discoveries Safaris. They are true professionals with behind the scenes local connections and collective knowledge that is far superior than many of the other safari operators out there. This will be a trip I will never forget and I definitely intend to return to experience even more that Africa has to offer. Thank you so much Wild Discoveries Safaris and a special thank you to Blackie Mukasa for organizing a trip of a lifetime!!!! Tracey

Very Happy and Great Value for the Money
My mom and I were very happy with Trekili's services for our trip to northern Tanzania in November 2014. We did four days of safari (Lake Manyara, Seringeti, and Ngorogoro) and a three-day climb of Mt Meru. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the staff working with us; Jeff made the most delicious food, Matthew was a fantastic guide who was invaluable on summit day, and Puck was a very professional driver/guide for the safari. Camping on the Ngorogoro Crater rim Simba campsite is not to be missed; the view is incredible.
Talking to the porters, they reported that Trekili treated them well and paid them well. Of note, this is definitely not a bare-bones service; if you want to carry all your own gear up the mountain and go minimalist-style, Trekili is not for you. But it's also not one of the most expensive operations. It's a great middle-of-the-road choice on price, and we were absolutely pleased with Trekili's service, with the people who took care of us, and with the great food-- it makes a big difference after a long day of hiking!
We especially enjoyed the more socially-conscious programs that Joseph arranged for us: a day hike through a nearby village and the chance to talk to Maasai villagers, and visits to two different local schools, one run by nuns and another by an NGO. In general, we felt that Joseph and Trekili were very receptive to arranging programs based on our preferences and our schedule.

Best safari company you will ever have. You won't regret your decision!
Top notch, couldn't of been better! He was always on time if not early. It became a game for me to try and spot something before he did, I didn't win much and he was also driving. I did 4 different safaris with 5 guides and this was by far the best!! I highly suggest this company, already told multiple people to book with them.

Bella is a very passionate and friendly woman doing her utmost.
Together with my daughter who is doing an internship in Uganda, we have done a beautiful safari with Bella.
My daughter had "discovered" Bella through friends. She is full of passion to serve its customers and to ensure a memorable trip. As a young Ugandan woman and her great knowledge of her profession she is a true winner to us. She is also a nice woman to deal with and she is a good conversationalist with her knowledge and intellect. Bella, thank you for this nice trip. Shame we had to say goodbye .

Awesome experience....
We had an amazing time doing Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara 4 days 3 nights safari with Maasai Trails East Africa and the guide was Paul. The planning phase was excellent, very quick response on emails and telephone conversation answering each and every question to detail. Good safari van and excellent guiding skills from Paul who was very knowledgeable at each and every animal spotting and willing to drive an extra mile to make sure we saw them all..
We cant find more better words to express our satisfaction but to recommend them both on safari booking and other forums too...overall the best safari planner to my second Kenyan family safari.
