Amazing gorilla tracking experience with Karumuna Safaris
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience tracking mountain gorillas in Bwindi impenetrable forest with Karumuna Safaris. Richard and Jonah were very professional in their communication with us right from the beginning. The whole experience completely exceeded our expectations, the accommodation at Gorilla mist camp and Lake Bunyonyi was excellent and the food was delicious as well. Our guide Caleb was very friendly and very knowledgeable, providing all sorts of information about the Gorillas and other wildlife on the long journey to and from Kampala. The Gorilla tracking itself was a phenomenal experience and worth every penny. All in all Karumuna Safaris were a great company to do our trip with, from the first communication until they dropped us off at Kampala, they took great care of us. Thanks a lot guys!

Fantastic experience
During the booking process, the company were very responsive and informative.
Once in Johannesburg, we were collected from our hotel and driven by a very knowledgeable and personable driver, to our accommodation in Kruger. The accomodation was rather rustic and felt very authentic. We felt very welcomed. The staff were delightful, and food amazing.
The excursions were well organise, the sunset game drive set the tone, allowing us to see some amazing wildlife, but by the second day, the whole day game drive, we saw ALL the big 5, plus a few extras. Very very happy.
The journey back was great, we went the panoramic route and saw some amazing views from the mountains.
I'd highly recommend this service and would happily use next time I'm in Africa!

Honest and reliable plus budget friendly
I want to see the Gorilla.
But there is few information about it.
So I have to do it by myself.
I contacted almost every agencies on the web.
Almost everyone of them wants to sell their expensive tour.
All the agencies lied that I have to pay guide fee and entrance fee for NP and so on.
Only G.S.U.T was honest and suggested the right thing I wanted
with budget price.
Yes. You can choose a program consisted of the luxurious car and 5 star lodge and so on. But for someone like me, budget is more important.
I was not a big guest for G.S.U.T.
I needed only permit. They couldn’t make much profit from me.
But they really tried to help me from first to finish. I really appreciate GSUT
for everything about my gorilla trekking. Without them, it was impossible. I should gave up.
Thanks!! I really recommend them.
I already introduced them to my friend. He will join the gorilla in a day.

Great accommodations, fine lectures, memorable game drives, and competent, knowledgeable guides.
As a university professor, I have led numerous academic travels to Southern Africa for students on the themes of ecotourism, natural resource conservation and sustainable development. Most recently, I worked with lead guide Ettienne Froneman of Safari With Us as we traveled from Joburg to Kruger National Park, then on to Swaziland, KZN and Cape Town. I had worked with Ettienne and his assistant guide, Bianca Potgieter, on several prior trips, and once again, I found them to be most competent and positively engaging professionals. Both Ettienne and Bianca are superb drivers, great cooks, knowledgeable interpreters of natural and historical landscapes, and professional caretakers of our safety, security and logistics. Without hesitation, I have asked them to guide my October 2018 academic travel to Botswana and Zimbabwe, as well as my March 2019 travel to Namibia. They both have the right combination of professionalism, knowledge, a fine sense of humor, and self-assured competency. I highly recommend them and SafariWithUs for your journeys in Africa.

A Nightmare in Botswana
We spent last year 12 days with MG and his team and our experience was really bad. We had to pay the entrance to chobe and the manager MG never paid to us. Our driver didn´t found our camp in Khwai and we had to sleep in a local cottage. The guide was estressed all time and our camp in Kalahari desert was diferente that the camp for which we have paid. A total disaster of company!!

Don't book!!!!
This company is not fair and not human in case of problems.
I had an accident and needed to cancel the tour.
There was no good communication.
There was no support and interest in the customers.
Nearly no repayment.
Don't book!
There are enough other companies that can show you animals in nationalparks or organize a tour to Kilimanjaro for the same (or better) price.

Being overwhelmed by nature in all it’s beauty!
I was on a 3 days safari at the Akagera national park, my second visit there. Everything was well arranged by Frank like last Year! This time I had Fabrice as guide, excellent guide! I learned a lot about the animals and nature and most kind guide !! Top! I saw lots of animals and we crossed the whole park . The nature itself is breathtaking: lakes, mountains, bush, savanne, swamps,... and Fabrice and last Year Frank do everything possible to let you see as much as possible. This compagny is worth every penny !! Thanks Frank , again , for arranging the highlight of my holliday! And thanks especially Fabrice for being my guide ! Please everyone, go to Rwanda and use Golden safari’s , you Will not regret it !

My wife and I had an incredible vacation thanks for all the schedulings and bookings by Jibha
Our trip consisted of going to 4 different locations - Central Kalahari, Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, and Victoria Falls. All the transportations between each place went very smoothly. All itineraries were organized very well.
