Efficient team, fast responses, amazing animals
I did not book one of the safaris this company currently offers on safaribookings, but I wanted to find a way to review this Ugandan Eco-Cultural Safari Company somewhere, so I ended up here :-) Let me get right to it.
My wife and I wanted to see the mountain gorillas for years and earlier this year, we finally had the chance to do so on a safari in Uganda and Rwanda. After an initial search on the internet, trying to find tour companies which also have a proven social impact, we reached Instinct Safaris. Their answers always were fast and precise, and their knowledge about the area we would visit was really impressive. So we decided to choose Instinct Safaris early, even though their price tag was a little higher than other companies. In the end, however, this was really worth it.
Our itinerary took us from Kigali, Rwanda to southern Uganda for two mountain gorilla tracks, one in the Viroonga mountains and one in Bwindi. Later, we hiked through this rain forest on our way to Queen Elizabeth National Park. This hike - leading over rivers, through waterfalls and massive tree roots - was really a thing for itself and our guide picked us on the other side of the forest. Then we proceeded to see a lot of animals in Queen Elizabeth National Park, where we had two special occasions with a lion family that was very interested in us! We later visited Kibale National Park for the chimpanzees and travelled to Murchison Falls National Park before returning to Kampala and then leaving the country.
From beginning to end, the team of Instinct Safaris really exceeded our expectations and presented itself as a capable young and flexible team. We would definitely choose them again!

satisfactory and interesting ,and a full time occupying programme
I found the managing operator as a reliable and trustful person.He adapted a full programme at an affordable price. He always answered my queries, re-assured me and satisfied my stay. The trips from one place to another are endless ,considering the distances from one place to another are far from each other. We always found people ready to welcome us with savoury delicious food which was able to make me forget the endless drive. A couple of times we found guest house which wasn't up to decent standard like no hot water and a broken bathroom mirror, no connectivity. One thing bothered us a little,is that you are imposed to leave tips to everyone who delivers a service which is quite impossible considering the many hotels.lodges and campsites, including the excursions, you visit. That is up to us to decide who deserves tips and how much you give. They frown at you or show you a cold shoulder if you don't satisfy their expectation. Otherwise I thank Walking safaris for taking care of us and made our saty in Kenya and Uganda a pleasurable one

very personal service
I arranged a tour to Lake Naivasha through Kenya Walking Survivor's Safaris. I was the only person on the tour this day and the company was very helpful in arranging it to suit my interests and needs. I highly recommend including the optional hippo boat trip on the lake. We saw dozens of hippos, as well as birds, zebras, and giraffes. Unfortunately, we weren't able to walk with the animals at the crater due to buffalo in the area, but the hike was still beautiful! Overall it was a great tour by a friendly and accommodating company!

Good service for a good & fair price
I did my first safari with the team from African Suburbs Adventures in March 2012 & it was great. We went to Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru and everything was well organiced. Our driver was very nice and we had a lot of fun. Few months later Lamech and his team organiced a trip to Kampala and it was awesome, the hotel, the food, everything was just amazing, from this time on I did all my journeys with them. Lamech is well organiced and very friendly! If you wanna go for a safari or just a beach holiday..this people know how to do it for a fair price. Keep your good work up!!

8 days camping safari, transfers, hotels etc
It was wonderful time with Spot Kenya Safaris- I remeber when we were comming back from Nairobi with a train and it stopped in the middle of no-where in Tsavo , after one phone call Spot kenya Safaris came to pick up us 120 km far from Mombasa. Always helpful, always there for you.
