Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by oemebamo
Huge park, lots of game, the boattrip (3AM/UWA) is amazing. The lion tracking is worth doing: you get to see lions up close (inquire with UWA) - Uganda Large Predator Project (ULPP)

Review about Kidepo Valley National Park by oemebamo
Less game then the other national parks in Uganda, but the remoteness and scenic beauty makes it worth the (long) trip!

Gorillas-gorillas-gorillas!
We just did the gorilla trekking at Bwindi, which was truly the highlight of our 3-week-roadtrip! We came up close with the gorillas (this family was one of the first to be habituated to humans), and could observe their behavior for an hour.
The scenery is stunning as well, especially in the morning light! There are some walks (only guided) in the park as well, but we didn't do any of these.
We spent the night in the Buhoma Community Rest Camp, planning on pitching our tent, but we decided to go for a banda as it was pouring rain. This was 100$ per person, which is steep compared to other parks, with shared bathroom and toilet. Besides this, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the food delicious (though quite pricey, too)!

Review about Uganda by oemebamo
Pretty, green scenery, few tourists around (even in high season), all kinds of wildlife (chimpansees and gorillas!), great birding destination, lovely and friendly people.

Well organised and great value or money
We went to Oldeani via Lake Manyara and back to Arusha via the Serengeti. Great trip which was well organised.
We then climbed to the peak of Mt. Meru. Very impressed with the quality of the refuges and the porters. One of them was the cook and he excelled with the spaghetti alla Bolognese.

Savannah Explorers: the best for your safari experience
My family and I have just returned from a wonderful 5-day safari in northern Tanzania . For this wonderful experience we entrusted to Savannah Explorers that we chose after requesting various cost estimates and we confirm you that we did the right choice.
Savannah Explorers with his manager Roberto arranged a wonderful tour with a careful driver , Ali ' and an excellent guide Corrado who was always available to answer all our questions about animals and life in Tanzania .
Hakuna matata : no problems. The lodges, the tended camp, the jeep, the food were very good and the people were very helpful.
We thought the safari would be tiring and instead it was an exciting experience with intense moments in search of wild animals and moments of quiet rest in the evening having dinner with our friends Corrado e Ali’.
Thanks again to our friends of Savannah Explores!!

Amazing experience, to have the opportunity to Watch the Gorillas in their enviaronment was Unique
At The begining I was affraid of booking and pay in advance the gorilla permition with I considered a little expensive, but after reading other reviews and checking the Auto website. I decided to choose encounter. They are very professional, they send me all the information which is important to read. They were on time and he lo me with all my requirents. In Bwindi is material of luck to walk a couple of hours or more Before finding the Gorillas but it is absolutly wonderful. I recomend to follow all instructions and take a Porter in my case was very very helo full.

This experience helped me remember past safaris while introducing different animals and habitats.
Our safari included Masai Mara and Samburu - two totally different environments and experiences. James, our guide was well versed in both and added information about the animals, landscape, trees and differences between the animals in the two parks. How different the animals were when only separated by a few hours drive was intriguing and something I didn't expect. James was very accommodating when requesting specific times for game drives, specific animals that we wanted to see and helped our photography by positioning the vehicle to capture the best angle and in some cases the best light. We have some of the most fantastic shots of leopards. Not something everyone gets to see in the wild. We enjoyed out time with James just getting to know each other and sharing stories as well. We even had the opportunity to recommend James/Odyssey to other people on safari that were planning to return to Samburu. He definitely enhanced our trip and our love for the animals of Africa. Beatrice was our contact for arranging and planning our trip. She was very responsive and very friendly - even through email. So- thank you all for a wonderful trip. We are still sharing photos and stories with our friends.
