Amazing local guide - excellent value for money
Emmanuel was knowledgeable, attentive and ensured that we had the best day. He organised chimp trekking for us in the morning and picked us up from our guest house. On the way to Kibale he explained exactly what we should expect. The trekking was great - we saw so many chimps really close.
We hadn't booked anything for the afternoon and Emmanuel suggested some ideas - but didn't put any pressure on us. We ended up going to the village community at Bigodi where we learned to make banana beer, coffee and weaved baskets - it was extremely interesting and we felt that we got an insight into Ugandan rural culture.
All through the day Emmanuel was alongside us and wanted to make sure that we enjoyed it. I can't rate him highly enough. If we come back to Fort Portal we will certainly use him again

10/10 experience
I had a truly amazing time on this tour! Ruth the person I was in contact with before my tour was very communicative, answered all of my questions and made adjustments to my trip on request. This originally was supposed to me a solo trip but I another solo female traveler was put on my tour which was a nice surprise. Farouk- my driver/guide- was an excellent source of information, very friendly, and a safe driver. While the journey was long (driving 10 hours to get there) Farouk made it easy with plenty of rest stops. The guesthouses we stayed in had staff that went above and beyond! They offered several short walks- a nature walk, a community walk, or a walk to the Pygmy people’s village. The meals were also excellent. The gorilla trek was of course the best part! The guide for that were also excellent, they shared lots of information, ensured we seen the gorillas and were able to follow them for the duration of our hour, and pointed out other wild life. The second day we went to Lake Bunyonyi after the gorilla trek. This was also great and included a boat ride around the lake. I also wanted to try to local gin and Farouk helped me to find that. The final day we drove back to Kampala and stopped to see how the local drums were made. East African Jungle Safari really met all of my expectations and went beyond. I would highly recommend EAJS to anyone and recommend Farouk as a driver. I will definitely be booking my next tour with them!

Perfect Safari in Tanzania
We truly had an amazing safari in Tanzania where we made amazing memories. We are totally impressed by the amazing work put in by Gecko Adventure Tanzania to make sure that we had an excellent time. Our guide Philip went above and beyond to find all the animals that we wanted to see, and also to keep our young boys captivated. He answered all our questions with well thought out answers and his genuine concern for our comfort and happiness was evident all through.
We saw many different animals ranging from the huge elephants, lions, leopard, rhinos, wild dogs, hyenas, buffaloes and lots wildebeest in Northern Serengeti.
We were impressed by the lengths that Rama had gone to ensure we had a perfect experiences, like organizing for a complimentary birthday cake for my son Toon at Pakulala Camp in Ngorongoro on his birthday! That was really cool!
The overall experience was amazing and given another opportunity we would return in heartbeat.

Excellence with a smile
Theresia made some great plans for four days, what to see, where to stay and how to get there when I asked her for suggestions, for a reasonable price. I had some great days together with Eric, my guid and Safidy, our driver. Safidy made a good job on those crazy,bumpy roads- I felt secure all the time. Eric shared lots of personal stories, cultural traditions and knew a lot about both history and animals . we had a really good time. So, if you looking for a team that wants to do the best for your vacation- choose Soul of Madagascar.

The best jungle style guided tour with David
The tour guide David was super funny and accommodating, he had great knowledge of the Masai Mara area and provided us with a great safari experience. The lodge was very clean and food was delicious. We heard animals during the night and enjoyed chatting with Masai Mara people by the fire.

AMAZING ADVENTURE AND BIRTHDAY
I'd like to thank Enzi Safari for making it possible for us to enjoy the Safari from start to finish.
Thanks to Ally and Hamidu for making sure everything went perfectly and for organizing at the last moment. They really cared to check if everything was ok and if we were satisfied by calling us at the beginning and at the end of the adventure.
I would also like to express my gratitude for the surprise they organized for my birthday, in collaboration with the hotel. Thank you for making this day the best birthday of my life. Without any exaggerations, I felt so loved. It's hard to beat that, you've set the bar high.
I can only recommend Enzi Safari. You can book with them with your eyes closed. You won't regret it.

Amazing Experience
African Big Cats Safari did a great job! From planning the trip/itinerary to the safaris and guide it was well organized, detailed and top notch customer service. Our guide, Obed was friendly, informative and fun. We enjoyed the unique places we stayed and all the animals we got to see.
African Big Cats Safaris also planned and handled our transfer from safari to Zanzibar. I highly recommend African Big Cats Safari. I am very impressed with the customer service they provided. They created a perfect trip for us that included safaris and beach time.

Amazing
I recently returned from a trip with Almighty Kilimanjaro, and I was thoroughly impressed! Their professionalism and organization were top-notch, with every detail carefully planned. The emphasis on safety made me feel secure at all times, knowing I was in capable hands. The guides displayed remarkable expertise and genuine care, supporting us throughout the ascent. Their equipment is qualitative and you can rely on the managers in terms of booking and coordination. Almighty Kilimanjaro is the best choice for anyone seeking a high-quality and safe mountain adventure! They are far away forwards comparing to any other agency presented at Tanzanian market.
Last but not least, the care they show to their staff. Almighty Kilimanjaro employees truly live their company.

We cannot recommend this company enough!
**The Safari Experience**
We did the 5-day adventurous camping safari in October, and from start to finish, it was an incredible experience.
The camping aspect was fantastic! The first two nights felt more like glamping, with a campsite with amazing views and a lovely swimming pool. The next two days were more basic, but you really felt immersed in the Serengeti experience, especially hearing lions roar from inside the tent – an unforgettable thrill!
We also highly recommend the walking tour, where we set off with a ranger, and his rifle. Along the way, we encountered signs of recent animal activity and even spotted a giraffe by a watering hole. The ranger's relaxed demeanor helped put us entirely at ease.
**The Team**
Emma and Sarah were extremely helpful in coordinating our itinerary and guiding us through options to fit our preferences.
Our driver, Adam, picked us up from the hotel, and we collected Isaac, our chef, en route. We couldn’t have asked for a better team!
Adam was not only an excellent driver but also extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife. His knack for predicting animal movements meant we were always in the best possible spots for sightings, and he put in so much effort to help us see everything we could have hoped for.
Isaac was super friendly and an incredible chef, serving up some of the tastiest meals – we definitely gained a few pounds!
A special shout-out goes to the team behind the scenes! Following a minor incident with a monkey, I needed a series of anti-rabies vaccinations. Adam and Godfrey, the tour operator, went above and beyond to source the necessary treatment in some *very* remote areas. Their care and dedication were truly appreciated 🙏
**Community Support**
On top of providing amazing experiences, the company also donates a portion of their profits to a charity supporting women and girls in Maasai communities – a wonderful mission we were glad to support.
