Amazing
There are some hiccups with the guides but it did not dampen the spirit when you see the wildlife. Wildlife is plentiful and you will appreciate the amount of work the rangers place into ensuring the place is poacher free. This is something that should not be taken for granted.
Weather was all good and warm as expected. Special thanks to the chef who brought the whole experience up to the next level. He level of attention and care is beyond a job. He is passionate about what he does.

Ronnie was so energetic, he took us to beautiful cultures in western uganda & seeing the Gorillas
The trip was well organised. Together with Fahari Uganda Safaris, we made several adjustments in the accommodation, price and activities. Staff at Fahari Uganda Safaris were very flexible and helpful and responding on time. It was a great trip and i would absolutely recommend anybody to give it a try

Excellent Driver Guide Simbo
We booked 4 days camping safari Tarangire , Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our driver guide Simbo was amazing and extremely knowledgeable and a very nice guy! We were able to see the great migration in Ndutu and the big 5.
We highly recommend Simbo and Tanzania Exclusive Journeys

Very nice experience with possitive vibe
We took Safari tour together with my friend with Mbugandi Safaris. I must admit it was a very nice experience. Our tour guys picked us in the morning in front of the hotel we were accommodated and went to Safari. They talked a lot about the country, customs and traditions during our long jurney. We had a nice lunch on the way there. When we arrived we got a very solid accommodation in the village in the neighborhood. We went on a walk around the village and had a dinner there. I havent eaten better fruit ever. The next day were safaring all day long, taking photos and got a lot of information about those animals we had seen. Tour guys were really nice and willing. Overall experience is therefore very positive. Good price/perfect service ( transportation, food, accommodation, Safari, tour guides) I can only recommend to take a tour with Mbugandi Safaris. :)

Incredible 5-day Gorilla/Chimpanzee/Safari tour in Uganda
My husband and I just returned from a 5-day Gorilla/Chimpanzee/Safari tour in Uganda with our own driver and guide, Emma. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Prime Uganda!! From start to finish, choosing our activities, payment and booking process was seamless.
Cate was always prompt, helpful, organized and detailed in every communication. Cate also advised me on tipping when I asked, because it is always hard to know if tips are appropriate for certain services. As for accommodations, do not rule out the budget ones! We loved Pumba Cottages, and Lake Bunyonyi Eco Resort – both budget places with excellent service, amazing views and food.
Emma was always on time, sweet, kind, considerate and so knowledgeable about everything, from the Ugandan culture, education, farming, to the animals and birds we saw. He had our itinerary, and always knew exactly where we were going and the timeline. We would go over our plan for the next day, either at dinner or breakfast. He always made sure we had plenty of water, and even stopped along the road to buy sweet bananas and bananas for us to try. He drove really long hours some days, and never once complained. He went out of his way to find the animals we really wanted to see, and sometimes we ate breakfast, lunch and/or dinner with him (he never invited himself, but we let him know he was always welcome to join us). It was like visiting with a friend!
I have severe asthma on inclines, and Emma made sure that the person assigning groups at Bwindi for the gorillas, knew I needed to be in a slow group. We were assigned to the closest Gorilla group and it was a huge weight off my shoulders that I was physically able to get to the Gorillas.
This was really a once in a lifetime trip for us, and we are so thankful that we chose Prime to make it happen for us!
Our itinerary:
1st day - drive from Entebbe to our first lodge, Pumba Cottages. Lunch near the Equator. Game drive before dinner.
2nd day – Chimpanzee tracking in the morning, lunch overlooking the Kazinga Channel, Boat safari on the Kazinga Channel. Afternoon game drive and return to Pumba cottages for dinner.
3rd day – head towards Bwindi, stopping in Ishasha sector of Queen Elizabeth Park to see the tree climbing lions. Arrived at Haven Lodge Buhoma.
4th days – Gorilla trekking in Bwindi. Ate packed lunch from the lodge. Shop in the local village for gifts and souvenirs. Drive to Lake Bunyonyi Eco Resort. Boat trip around the lake (we chose to walk around the island looking for wildlife instead).
5th day – Drive back across Uganda to Entebbe. Amazing countryside!! Stopped for lunch and gifts on the way.
We booked hotels near the airport for our first night and last night which were not included in the Prime tour, but Cate gave us recommendations.

Wonderful, beautiful, amazing experience, Martin was fantastic!
I was part of a small group that went gorilla trekking. Everything was explained in detail to us throughout the whole experience. Chigo tours provided us with a wonderful experience! Martin was very knowledgeable, not only regarding the gorilla trekking adventure, but also regarding the villages, people, and markets we passed along the way. Our hotel that was chosen for our overnight stay was beautiful, the food was delicious, rooms were above expectations and comfort, and staff were very accommodating. I would definitely book again with chigo tours and specifically request Martin

Great Family Trip in Kenya
This family Kenyan tour experience will remain as the most adventurous in our lifetime. The trip was much more than just about the wild animals. This Kenyan tour operator exactly fitted our trip to what we needed. We had the top notch accommodation with the best facilities than we expected. What was available was exactly what we needed. We highly recommend Gates Adventure Safaris.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jackson! Jackson. Jackson! He belongs on a race course!
Mr. Ben was amazing. He and Raegan made sure I made it to their office on time. Mr. Ben got me back to langata safely. Mr. Jackson was professional. A sweet heart. Kind spirited and amazing driver who went beyond the call to ensure that everything was perfect for us! His driving had me worried but it’s like that in the USA. He did great!!!!!! I loved the tour and I got to see the Big 5! Please hug Jackson from Ruthie MacIII.
