Best experience ever
Our safari tour in Kenya was an unforgettable experience, all thanks to the incredible team that made it possible. Caren, our manager, handled all the bookings flawlessly, ensuring that every detail was taken care of, leaving us free to enjoy our adventure. We were fortunate to have Lema as our guide and driver for seven days. His deep knowledge of wildlife and expertise in spotting animals truly enhanced our experience. Thanks to Lema, we were able to see the Big Five within just two days! His insights into the best times for game drives and his passion for the animals made our safari both educational and exhilarating. We couldn't have asked for a better safari experience.

Very customer oriented, excellent experience!
I found Ngoni Safaris Uganda on safaribookings.com, my first such booking outside of the well know safari outfits like Wilderness, Mfwe, etc. I was a bit apprehensive, but my fears were unfounded and it cost a fraction of what the big outfits charge.
Starting with the owner, Sedrick, everyone is very customer oriented and work tirelessly. We were impressed with the fact that Sedrick bothered to meet us at our hotel at 5:30AM even though an assigned driver-cum-guide was going to pick us up.
We had an amazing driver-guide, Darius for the 4 days, 3 night trip. Besides going for the Gorilla trek in Bwindi, we wanted to do a bit of birding and had requested for a guide who understands birding. And Darius knew birding quite well. He even hired a local guide in Bwindi to bird walking thru the community around Bwindi.
Darius was a very good driver, driving the 9.5 hrs from Entebbe to Bwindi and back. We enjoyed the conversations we had over the 4 days and we wish him the best. He introduced us to some local food which were excellent!
Sedrick selected this amazing small lodge in Bwindi, which we found to have one of the best staffing and service in our experience.
On the way back, we stopped for a night in Lake Mburo to do some birding. We had good sighting early morning around the lake next morning.
On a very short notice, Sedrick organized a trip to the Magamba swamp in Lake Victoria to see the Shoebill bird as well as some other birds. It involved picking us from the hotel, drive 20 minutes to the harbor, board a private fishing boat with an outboard motor, travel 45 minutes to the swamp, transfer to a narrow boat that can navigate the narrow channels of the swamp with Wilson, the birding guide, who had arrived earlier to locate the Shoebill's location. We had a wonderful time photographing the bird and other birds as well. It was another wonderful birding trip!
There was a small problem with the air conditioning in our safari vehicle, which Darius took pains to get it fixed in between. Most of the time, we didn't need AC, but there was a time on the way back, when it was warming up.
I highly recommend any outfit where Sedrick is.

Excellent planning throughout the trip
First of all, I need to thank Paul for rearranging the trip at the last minute due to the fact that we missed our connecting flight and lost an entire day of our Kenya tour. Paul took it upon himself to shift the entire trip by one day making sure we go through our itinerary as planned. Collins, our guide is such a friendly person and his aim was to show us what we wanted to see. Being a masai himself, he shared his culture with us throughout the trip. The safari ride, a 4x4 land cruiser, is fairly new and super comfortable for the long haul trips that we did across the amboseli, nakuru and masai mara national parks. Collins was flexible and always catered to our needs and always went the extra mile to fulfill our requests. Overall, the planning, communication, and execution were top notch and we would love to recommend Ways of Africa as your safari partner in Kenya.

Well-organized and communicative
I had a fantastic time trekking Kilimanjaro and spending five days on safari with the team. From the start, Joshi was quick to assist with all of my questions. I appreciated how efficient and patient Joshi was in ensuring all my questions were answered before I booked the tour.
Throughout the tour, I was picked up on time. If I had any immediate issues with my schedule, Joshi was always there to ensure I had a top-notch, comfortable experience. The extra effort made a tremendous difference in the positive experience I had during my travels. Additionally, the tour agency offers great value for the price, ensuring that I wasn’t overcharged for my experience. I really appreciate this.
Overall, I had a fantastic time on my adventures with Intimacy Adventures, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others!

Albert is the best guide and driver I know.
Perfect coordination in safari, trips and hotel changes.
The best thing about safaris is the placement of the car to see the animals perfectly. Thank you, Albert
