brilliant time
My family Africa safari trip was filled with joy and excitement. We had a wonderful experience and look forward to telling my relatives and friends about one back in London. I booked my Christmas safari holidays through Safarihub, my consultant was Clara Matembe, who offered a great service at all times I have no regrets trusting Safarihub for our itinerary and my family had a brilliant time!

Northern Tanzania
Well planned itinerary with enough time to spend on the game drives and relaxing at the wonderful lodges. Highlight of the trip was the lions in the trees in Serengeti. I can recommend to other travellers.

So exciting
Alice was so helpful in planning our trip and our driver guide Bariki was just fantastic and could spot animals at a distance. The lodges were very nice and we enjoyed the cultural African music over dinner. All went very smooth.

Best safari planners
This was my fourth safari with Safari Update Travels, and there is a reason I keep coming back. The level of service, from the moment your plane touched down, until the last safari has been taken, is an outstanding experience in quality and customer service. Everyone knew our name wherever we went, everyone went out of their way to make us feel as though we were the only ones on the safari, the patience the drivers showed along with their excitement and knowledge, made this a trip one I will always remember. Kudos to ERICK and SHEM!!! Being in the hospitality industry like I am, I tend to see things that others might not notice in regards to cleanliness, etc. Not with Safari Update Travels!!! The accomodations were so first class five star quality, the service as good as any of the finest companies in the world. So, bottom line..... 4 safaris and counting. Congratulations Safari Update Travels!!!

Best safari planners and customer care.
We had this short safari since we were only staying in Kenya for few days, a friend suggested we for us Safari update Travels as a preferred tour company to organize a short 3 days and 2 nights safari since she had worked with them earlier this year. From the start of our plan everything was seamless Silas worked with us to ensure all details were well noted and whenever we needed clarification he quickly responded.
Our guide Samuel was the best, jovial, knowledgeable, well conversant of African wildlife and more so funny.
We saw big 4 except from Rhino which si common not to be seen while on a safari.
We stayed at Sopa lodge, everything awesome. Food, accommodation, freindly services and staff.
We highly recommend SAFARI UPDATE TRAVELS for this safaris. They guys are just on a another level!!
We will travel with you again and again!

Extremely great experience on an incredible 5 days tour, really enjoyed the safari, I got to learn alot, in the wild and the people around, plus the guide and moving around Masai Mara, olpejeta and lake nakuru.
Our guide Federico was very knowledgeable and he knew where to take us to see the wildlife, we saw the big 5 that we were looking for. The accommodation booked by Martin was excellent with good food and a good staff.the entire team was informative responsive to all our needs.

There Was So Much We Loved About Our Trip!
Since returning home from our very first safari in Tanzania, we can’t stop reminiscing on all the breathtaking memories we had in the wild and are already thinking of our next trip back!
With 6 of us all together, mom and dad, 2 sons, and 2 daughters-in-law, on our first trip together in Tanzania, we felt so well taken care of by our excellent safari guides and at each of our accommodation sites.
Happy World Safaris took care of our every need so that we were able to enjoy our time together witnessing unforgettable moments with the Big 5 and many more. We were blown away each day and amazed at how each day seemed to top the day before.
Some of our treasured moments include viewing a gazelle giving birth and the baby calf’s first steps, lions lounging on tree branches, vultures and jackals flocking in and competing over a fresh kill after a cheetah wrapped up its meal, a water hole viewing that started out with 2 elephants splashing in the water, then 2 zebras taking a drink, and then an endless herd of wildebeests appearing out of nowhere and taking over the water hole! What a treat to capture it all on video and pictures to relive and share with our family and friends!
Being there during the end of December 2019 also gave us precious viewings of the young, including lion cubs, leopard cubs, zebras, elephants, hippos, wildebeests, warthogs and so much more!
Thank you Joseph for setting up the trip and we also can’t say enough wonderful things about our guide Zebe! He shared with us his extensive knowledge of the animals, enthusiasm for the experience, and stories of his favorite safari moments. By the end of the trip Zebe had become like part of our family. He was such a big part of what made our trip a trip of a lifetime.
Thank you so much Happy World Safaris. We can’t wait to return. Asante sana!

Wonderful Trip.Through Western Uganda with stay at Lake Bunyonyi.
We traveled through Uganda on 5 day tour with our dedicated guide/driver Rogers.
The tour organization was done by Derrick. At first we were hesitant to book because the company has no reviews but he was honest to say he just finished university and his relatively low price is what compelled us to book. We are pleased by his efforts and quick response to anything we wanted to add or change. The lodges were sometimes good sometimes not good but this is expected in a developing country like uganda. The food options are a variety. Route wild safaris is a reliable tour organizer, the queen Elizabeth, ishasha tree lions, Bwindi forest were really beautiful locations. Seeing the gorillas was the highlight but even without them I think Uganda is a good country. We really recommend RWS to friends and family.

Trip of a lifetime - An absolutely wonderful experience!
Our trip with Mambo Gorilla Safaris was undoubtedly the most unforgettable and unique trip we have ever experienced. The reason we chose to book with Didan and Mambo Gorilla Safaris is because we wanted to see Uganda as it’s meant to be appreciated; in all its authenticity with its lush beauty, terraced hills, fertile plantations, untouched wildlife, and vibrant people. Our trip was 8-days and began from Kigali in Rwanda. During our trip we saw beautiful Lake Bunyonyi and the incredible children at Loving Hearts Uganda, explored the vastness of Queen Elizabeth National Park and its tree climbing lions, stayed in luxury tents at Kazinga Wilderness Safari Camp with hippos and hyenas roaming freely throughout the night, floated the Kazinga Channel with crocodiles and elephants, stayed in the beautiful Leopard Camp at Lake Mburo National Park where we saw zebras and giraffes in a golden sunrise, and finally concluded the trip with an epic hike in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to see Uganda’s oldest family of mountain gorillas, the Nkuringo family. We were so grateful to see so many incredible sights throughout the trip but what impressed us the most were the people. Our guide, Paul Turyagumanawe, will be a lifelong friend. His effort, attitude, and knowledge throughout the week impressed us tremendously and we had so much fun roaming throughout Uganda with him. We felt 100% safe in his hands throughout the entire trip and he did an incredible job of making sure we had the best possible experience. The little things like buying us bananas or unfamiliar fruit from the street to taking us to see places off the beaten path really made us feel special. We felt like he went the extra mile at all times and we’re grateful we can now call him a friend.
What Didan is doing with Mambo Gorilla Safaris, the Bunyonyi View Resort, and especially Loving Hearts Uganda is changing peoples lives. We were so pleased to hear that 30% of our very reasonable tour fees were going to help the ~130 children at Loving Hearts Uganda. If you have the chance to visit them, it’s an absolute MUST. The highlight of our trip was spending time with them singing, dancing and seeing their smiling and loving faces. They have so much love to give and only ask for your kindness in return.
There is a tremendous amount to learn and to experience while in Uganda and we’re so grateful Didan prepared such a wonderful itinerary and Paul executed it to perfection. If you want a customizable, affordable, unique and unforgettable safari experience, this is the right company to choose.
