Saw everything I wanted to see
I just went on a 7 day tour and absolutely loved Uganda and I saw everything I wanted to see during my tour. My only issues were the lack of communication, responses were very slow at times which made it difficult when I’m in another country trying to organize the rest of my travels. I had signed up for a group tour being a solo female traveler, I was told I would join in on a group that was already happening when I got there so it was important I got there on a scheduled date. I kept asking Michael for the copy of the itinerary for the day by day schedule since mine was modified but I never received it. When I landed the ladies who picked me up were very nice but they told me I was signed up for an individual tour and the printed itinerary they handed me was not the places I wanted. I sent Michael a message and he assured me it was a group tour and I would meet them at Murchison falls and he said the ladies confused the itinerary and gave me someone else’s. The ladies told me to be ready at 10:30am the next day to start the tour, Michael had sent me a few messages right before I went to bed and apparently I somehow missed the one that said meet at 8:30 the next morning, so the next day Michael told me they were waiting for me since 8am. I had just landed the night before after a 27 hour flight, had he sent me the itinerary I asked for several times for scheduling and times there wouldn’t have been any issues on timing. After days of riding solo in the car with I asked Michael what happened to the group, He said they changed flights or something and explained the tour must have continued which I agree 100% but I was never told and just left to wonder my driver didn’t tell me anything either. He did upgrade my rooms which I did appreciate, the lodges were all very nice. On my last day on the way back to kampala I was asked to pay for my lunch although it was noted on my itinerary so I thought it was included. I hope that with better communication I can do another tour with them in the future because they were all prompt when I got there and my driver was always on schedule and very knowledgeable

Great gorilla safari
I've contacted Jackie months before our trip to Uganda. From the first moment she was very responsive and gave me all the info I needed for our first trip to Africa. She recommended lodges, hotels and gorilla permits. She took really good care of us during our stay at Uganda.
Denis - our driver - was really helpful and gave us many information for Uganda. The car was excellent and he helped us in any he could during the 3 days of our trip.

Tent was de luxe, food perfect, guides funny, polite and informative, saw many wild animals up close
Worth every penny. An out of this world expirience.

Very nice safari experience
Ahmed, the owner of Wildness Safari, was very helpful and quick to respond to all my questions all along my inquiries regarding that safari. What was described in the program was entirely fulfilled with one boat safari, one all-day game drive and one walking safari.
The driver/guide was not only an excellent driver between Dar and Selous but also a very knowledgeable guide.
I found the offer of this company of a very good value compared to some other companies. The place where I stayed was even better than what I expected.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Brian Scott
Can't beat the Masai Mara for big game. Must see.
Only downside is the Masai village. Total scam. I would have paid money to hear someone tell a story, or show me how to make a bow. Something authentic. Sadly, they have been duped into believing the only thing they have to offer is tricks and entrapment designed to coerce you to buy worthless trinkets.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Brian Scott
My favorite. I'm not sure if it was the baboons, the rhinos, or the hyenas. Just the right mix.

Review about Hell's Gate National Park by Brian Scott
Being from Arizona, Hell's Gate felt like "home". The best part was I got out of the van and was able to walk around.
