Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Nils
It was really impressive to see the animals up close. But in a smaller group it would be even better to really get a full score under bush vibe

Great moment during my 3 days Safari
I had a great time during my 3 days SAFARI as i was able to see cheetah, leopard, and the rest of the big five.
The organization was perfect and everything was done as i expected.
I was picked at my hotel the day of the departure and dropped off at the airport at the end of the Safari.
I definitely recommend to have a Safari during a trip to Kenya, this is real wild life!

Magic
The main reason for us to go to Uganda were the mountain gorillas. And we can say that the trip was only worth it. But we were very positively surprised how much more the country has to offer! Fortunately we also decided for a five day trip to the Rwenzori Mountains, at our special request HomeToAfrica adapted the offer accordingly. The landscape was really fantastic, it was often like in Avatar, so beautiful and strange were the plants and mountains to us in this area and we took countless photos on the way to Weismann Peak. The view from up there on Margherita Peak, the highest mountain of Uganda, was really impressive and as a moderately fit mountaineer you could feel the height of 4620m on the last meters of the ascent.
In general one can say that on the "normal" safaris there are unfortunately less animals than in some other African countries, but with increasing tendency the populations are obviously growing. In the past civil wars many animals either fled or were killed. The current rigorous protective measures are already bearing fruit. But the chimpanzees in Kibale and Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest were very impressive and could be admired and photographed at close range.
Despite his young age, our guide seemed very experienced, calm and confident. Like all the people we met in Uganda he was always very friendly and cheerful. We felt very comfortable with him, were a team.
The food was always very tasty, both in the luxurious lodges and in the sometimes somewhat rudimentary huts in the mountains - everyone tried hard to make this experience unforgettable for us.
As far as accommodation is concerned, our travel agency has really chosen very carefully selected spots for us, we find it very difficult to name a favourite.
We were lucky with the weather for the most part. Since we were on our way towards the end of the rainy season, it rained again and again, but often only in the evening late and at night. But we would travel again at this time of the year, because we met practically no tourists, and in the mountains none at all.
We were very happy that we were on the way with an off-road vehicle. There were always some places where four-wheel drive alone would not have been sufficient.
Finally, we would say that the holidays were very worthwhile even if they were very expensive for us. Full of beautiful memories and with a great collection of animal and landscape photos we could enthusiastically share our adventures with our family and friends.

Wild Wind Safaris is truly amazing. Etosha Safaris is better compare to Kruger and Botswana!
Excellent. The best compare to Botswana, Kruger or Motoba. Lots of wildlife and the park is what I perceive Africa Safari to be. It was supposed to be the beginning of Spring with rainfall, but our 3 days at Etosha had amazing weather and the bush has not grown too much to obstruct the view.
We used Wild Wind Safaris and cannot be happier. From the first phone call, to the arrangement, itinerary, transportation and the guide Rambo, all were truly amazing an highly recommended.

Seamless experience with Magical Retreats
Pamela was very responsive and easy to work with. I worked with her from start to finish and her rates were pretty reasonable too compared to others in the market. The driver Nyamu who took us to Mara was really nice too!

Amazing boutique African experience. Every detail was carefully taken care of & treated like stars
Excellent service and attention to detail. We stayed at Siankaba and the boat safari tours were thrilling. We are keen birdwatchers so we were treated to the African Fish Eagle singing and catching fish and many other delights as we sipped a sundowner.

Excellent service, the perfect safari trip, we all had an incredible time.
The communication was great and timely, AJ Tripp’s exceeded all of our expectations. Impressively knowledgeable guides on the safari trip itself. It was an awesome experience for many in our group which this was their first trip to Africa. The trip was so much greater than we expected that all of us will surely come back again.

Great budget camping safari with outstanding service, it'a a trip of a lifetime
I was somewhat anxious about booking a safari in Tanzania and worried about the quality of the company even despite good reviews. So I booked the trip with Rhino Explorers and hoped for the best. Well having just returned from my trip I can say that I was so happy with my decision. Daniel who is the owner frequently checked with me to ensure that all was well. My guide Emmanuel was so easy going, great driver, friendly, and was very knowledgeable about the animals and safari details. He worked very hard to ensure our trip was a success. My group of 6 ALL thought very highly of him. He made the trip so special for each of us. No question we asked was below him.We agreed that we were so lucky that we were with him. The truck was clean and comfortable. The plug ins for electronic devices was great. No worries your batteries will die at the wrong time. Food was pretty good with more than ample amounts and variety. In fact there were always leftovers and we were full. We saw the BIG 5. The Venice hotel in Arusha was clean and very comfortable for my pre and post safari and I was surprised that a budget safari included a hotel of this calliber. Daniel worked with me individually to modify a few details of my trip to meet my needs which were easily done. He is very professional and takes such pride in his operations. Airport pick up/drop off was on time to the minute. You will be glad you went with this company and I highly recommended this company. You will have a spectacular safari that you will remember forever
