Brilliant safari experience
Very professional and chill. They respect your space and time while making sure everything is ok. The driver was friends with pretty much all other drivers in the Masai Mara and constantly in touch with them to let each other know where to find animals and we were able to see so many more animals than expected. Overall great experience!

Experience was more than expected
My wife and I had the great opportunity to check a trip off our bucket list. In August, we traveled from western New York to east Africa. Our first stop was in Uganda to be one of the few to experience a gorilla trek. For those who do not know what a gorilla trek is, we hiked through the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in search of a family of mountain gorillas living in their remote natural habitat. After several months of research and scouring reviews, we chose Kubwa Five Safaris to make this experience a reality. We chose a two night, 3 day tour which started at the Entebbe International Airport. The road trip from the airport to the camp in Bwindi was about 8 hours, but the time went by quicker than you would think. I would like to give thanks to our driver and guide, Charles, for keeping us entertained and accommodated every request we had. He was with us for all three days. We always felt safe and knew from the start that we had a very professional and organized safari company. Due to our later airport arrival, we arrived at our accommodations around 10 pm. Kubwa Five Safaris reserved the Agandi Uganda Eco Lodges and we could not be more pleased with their choice. I believe that these accommodations were considered a mid-range price point. Agandi Uganda was absolutely beautiful. The employees were very friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our experience was unforgettable. They kept the restaurant open and all the staff on property until we arrived. The food was amazing and we had to thank the chef personally for the great meals we received. The manager knew we were on our honeymoon and decorated our room with romantic decor and a personalized message in flowers on our bed. The chef also baked us a delicious cake and we reenacted feeding each other as we did at our wedding. On our second night, the owner of Kubwa Five Safaris, Joseph, met us after dinner to discuss our experience thus far. He was very pleased to hear that his company had exceeded our expectations. As we spoke, I learned all about his company and the variety of safaris his company provides. The prices that were discussed were right on the mark, but it's the level of service that, in our opinion, sets Kubwa Five Safaris above the competition. He explained that he not only provides gorilla trekking, but big five safaris in Kenya and Tanzania and much more. My wife and I came to the quick conclusion that we would re-visit. I know, after speaking with Joseph, after the wonderful experience we had with Charles, and the great stay we had at Agandi Uganda, that I can honestly, 100% trust and recommend Kubwa Five Safeties. We cannot thank them enough for our experience.

Great safari experience
We had a fantastic experience with Full Package Adventures. Juventus, our main contact, was very attentive before the trip and responded quickly to all our questions. Once we arrived, Max, our guide, stayed with us for all 8 days and made sure we saw everything—lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, the Great Migration, and more. It was an unforgettable trip. Although the car had a few issues, we understand that's part of the safari experience. We also appreciated supporting a 100% Tanzanian company, which felt important to us. Thanks to the Full Package team—well done!

An unforgettable experience
Bamboo Eco Tours was really professional and organised from the start. Edison was very quick to answer ALL and many of my questions and so quickly. Being two young females in a foreign country we were nervous however he made us feel really safe and assured.
Our tour guide Herbert was amazing! Such a humble person always with a smile on his face and always happy to answer all of our questions, the guy was probably tired of our questions by the end, but we had lots of fun together. The tour was such an awesome experience. We did the 3 days Queen Elizabeth NP, chimp trekking (Kalinzu) and gorilla trekking (Mgahinga). The tour and accomodation we chose, Buffalo lodge and Lake Mutanda was incredible, we would recommend doing it in 4-5 days so you have time to relax at the accomodation, we felt we were in a little rush as there was a lot of driving to do to get from 1 park to the other not the guides fault however.
We learnt so much and had such an unforgettable experience.
Thank you Bamboo Eco Tours

Exceptional Safari Experience with Transparent Pricing and Outstanding Service
We had an unforgettable experience with this tour company during our safari in Kenya. Here are the key reasons why I highly recommend them:
1.Transparent Pricing
The pricing was clear from the beginning, with no hidden costs or unexpected fees.
2.Excellent Communication
Our guide stayed in constant contact with us, ensuring that we were always informed and comfortable.
3.Skilled and Knowledgeable Guide
Our guide, Wily, was not only an exceptional driver, but his English was excellent, which made communication smooth. He also had an incredible ability to spot wildlife, making each game drive a thrilling experience. We even witnessed hyenas snatching food from vultures!! Wily’s expertise in local wildlife and his insights into the culture added immense value to our safari experience.
The manager, Dennis, even treated us to coffee. He is a university graduate with a forward-looking vision and is passionate about future efforts in wildlife and environmental conservation.
4.Flexibility and Customization
The team was very flexible and happy to adjust the itinerary to suit our preferences.

Best Private Photographic Tour of Kenya!!!
Everything about this tour was perfect. Mercy was so very pleasant to deal with from the beginning and throughout! She was incredibly insightful and helpful each step of the way, creating a fantastic itinerary for us over 14 days. We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Mara North Conservancy. Each camp/lodge she chose was perfect! The food was incredible, the staff were amazing, and the experience was one we will never forget. I cannot say enough good things about Karen Blixen Camp in the Mara North Conservancy!!!! Any nature lover needs to visit there!
Being photographers, Mercy had even adjusted the vehicle to our specific requirements, something that was an enormous help. Our driver Patrick was an absolute legend to say the least. He was just as enthusiastic as us to be on safari, he was full of knowledge, and we loved sharing stories and laughs with him over the 2 weeks. Patrick ensured we not just saw what we wanted to see, but that we got the photos that we came to get. We were generally the first truck in the park, and often the last car to arrive back to camp - no sunrise or sunset was wasted. We saw the everything we hoped for and more, and Patrick did it all with a smile on his face.
I am already looking forward to coming back in 2026 to spend more time in the African bush with Patrick and The Out of Africa Experience. Thank you again for a trip great and fantastic memories!

Professional, friendly and simply amazing experience
We had a very pleasant experience with our guide Eric, who took amazing care of us.
Everything worked out as discussed. Seeing the Gorillas was astonishing and the drive was safe and as comfortable as one can be on the cravel roads.
We also got some nice insights from our guide about Uganda an West Africa in general. Accommodation was really, really nice and comfortable.

Hakuna Matata
We booked our tour several months prior to visiting Africa, upon enquiry we received some information about the Budget 4 day Safari. We went ahead and booked the tour, however received no receipt or confirmation of our payment.
The lack of information provided leading up to the tour was not good, we sent a couple of emails leading up to the trip asking questions for assurance and although they were responsive, we weren’t given any information except “Hakuna Matata”
As two young females going to a foreign country feeling unsafe this lack of assurance made us feel even more uncertain and unsafe.
Upon arrival to our hotel we were told due to the company being small we were joining a different company's Safari, which made no sense to us and we didn’t understand.
The other company was nothing short of amazing, we had a great time.
Thanks for booking our Safari Emanuel, Hakuna Matata.
