Best holiday ever!!
Everything was even better than we imagined. The safari tour itself was unbelieveable, the accomodations were beautiful. What an experience!! I loved that we had the same guide/driver everyday so we got to know him and have fun together! He was very sweet and funny, we had the best time! It truly was the best holiday so far and i can’t wait to do this again someday.

Memorable safari
A fantastic experience! The safari was well organized and exactly what we expected from Bujo Safari staff. Johnson knew the Queen Elizabeth’s Park well and we were confident in his driving and keeping us safe at all times! We managed to see so many animals in the wild. It was a once of a lifetime visit. I highly recommend Bujo Safaris

Awesomest tour guide In Uganda!
Bujo Safaris, Owner Johnson Burihose is the best!
I’ve hired his services for my two Safaris when I was leading, first a Sister Cities delegation of 13 people in 2015, then a Rotary delegation of 4 people in 2019.
In both trips Johnson has been excellent.
All my delegates were very impressed with his quality of tourguide services for our Safaris. Uganda can be a complicated place so it’s essential to have a really good tour guide.
Johnson had plenty of communication with us to ensure all our members interests were taking care of, arranging our tricky scheduling and levels of hotel accommodations, He even did tough negotiations during our trip at each hotel to get us some very good prices for some really great places to stay.
Uganda has incredible people, wildlife and natural beauty. Bujo Safaris is the best way to make most of your trip.
Bujo’s prices are quite moderate and their service excellent— always on time, plenty of communication to make sure our schedule and interests were accommodated.
If you travel anywhere in Uganda you must hire Bujo Safaris to guide you!
Owner Johnson Burihose is the awesomest tourguide in Uganda.

WOW!
WOW,
Where do I even begin?
As a nature lover and a photographer I am extremely happy for traveling with Baboon Budget Safaris. They were amazing.
First, the service was beyond expectations. We didn’t have to worry about a thing – food, water transportation, special request - everything was perfect.
Second, the safari itself was extremely productive. The guides spotted lots of special animals and knew exactly where to find them. Moreover, I guess the guides are in good relations with lots of people in the parks, because we were always informed if someone else spotted rare animals. In addition, the guides deliver a lot of information regarding the animal.
Third, as a photographer, I was extremely happy to work with them. I was afraid of the conditions and the cooperation I’ll get. To my good surprise, the guides and vehicles were perfect. The guides knew were to settle for a good photo, they were extremely cooperative with my request and even suggested very nice angles and tips. Furthermore, the open-roof allowed 360 view and even a way to set your camera on a steady support.
Thank you Josef Anthony and Denis.

Such an amazing safari!
Wild Gaze Safaris organised our two days trip to Ruaha National Park and we had an amazing experince. Our guide Mr Filipo was not only accommodative but also very friendly. Our game drive with him was very enjoyable since he also had hilarious and very exciting stories.He knew the best spots in the park and he was tirelessly contacting other guides on where to find the most interesting animals which led us to have unforgettable encounter with the lions and other interesting animals. The quality of the cottages exceeded our expectations and the food from chef Willy was great. Thank you Wild Gaze Safaris, we can't wait until our next safari with you!!!

Safari of a lifetime!
Having already done a great safari in Tanzania a few years ago, I had pretty high expectations this time around, taking alone my two children (12 and 10) to their first safari in Kenya.
Simon from Wildrace Africa was by far the most professionnal and responsive operator to get back with a quote, a competitive, tailor-made 8-day itinerary in a private 4x4, covering four parks (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli & Tsavo East) with a drop-off to our resort in Diani Beach.
Simon answered all logistical questions I had within hours (when not minutes!) via Whatsapp, and offered flexibility (downpayment through Paypal, balance in euros rather than USD...).
On departure day we met the whole Wildrace Africa team as well as our guide/driver Pascal, whose friendliness, experience, competence and professionalism truly made this safari a unique lifetime experience.
Pascal was totally dedicated to our every needs and went out of his way to take us to as many game sighting spots as we wanted, when we wanted. His keen eye even made us witness a live lion hunt moment, an extremely rare scene during daytime. We saw just about every single animal one can see in Kenya, and more!
Pascal is an excellent driver, we felt safe throughout the trip, and he regularly shared his extensive knowledge on fauna, flora, kenyan customs, traditions, and language. He was fantastic with my kids.
Due to our limited budget we stayed at basic tented accommodations either very close to park entrances, or just inside. All were fine and offered great surroundings, you felt in the middle of wilderness being woken up by exotic birds.
The itinerary sold on paper was fully respected, we really got our money’s worth. Everything went smooth and perfect.
Needless to say I highly recommend this operator to any western tourist looking for value for money, safety, and comfort. We feel lucky we chose Wild race over the plethora of other operators in Kenya.

Very bad vehicles, old and poorly maintained and terrible guide.
The attention of Alex and Denis is excellent and they try to fulfill everything promised.
The problem is the vehicles used for the zafari, old, poorly maintained, they break halfway and lost hours on the route with mechanics, as if it were not enough to finish the arrangement I had to pay for the repair with later refund of money . Even there are mornings in which you have to push the vehicle because it has exhausted the battery. This means that the itinerary can not be fulfilled, and late arrivals to destinations are reached.
But even worse is the guide in Kenya (Paul) is lousy, has a bad predisposition to explain, is rude, does not even have a bottle of water to facilitate, which was committed in the contract. And of course he does not have binoculars like the rest of the guides.
The place is wonderful, but my advice is to hire another company to be able to enjoy without suffering these inconveniences.

Thanks to Go Touch Down A Beautiful Gem between the mountain and the ocean is MY Paradise
What can you say about Paradise?!? You will know it when you TOUCH your Paradise--just as I did on my recent first trip to Cape Town, South Africa. There are not words enough to describe the beauty, the setting, the wine vineyards with elegant wine tastings; Table Mountain high over the city with "a blanket atop it" and the ocean with a visit to "The Cape of Good Hope"; shopping; museums; and everything else to do with direct pickup from your large, comfortable hotel room in the mornings for breakfast and drop off and pick up for elegant dinners on the waterfront and elsewhere in the evenings. I can hardly wait to go back as I begin to plan my next trip with Go Touch Down Travel & Tours who made my first "no hassle" trip there from beginning to end one that I will never forget in MY Paradise.

The trip of a lifetime!
I travelled to the Sabi Sands Game Reserve in June of 2019 with a group of friends. While there, we did our safari through Eagle Eye Safaris. Everything about this trip far exceeded my expectations (and I had high expectations to begin with)! The accommodations were lovely and the staff was outstanding! The food was delicious and plentiful! And Karen and Ernest were not only fun and easy-going, but they did an excellent job in all aspects of our safari. We got to see so many amazing animals in an absolutely beautiful setting, all while being given expert advise on how to capture the perfect shot! I simply can’t say enough about how wonderful the experience was! It truly was the trip of a lifetime!
