Took incredible care of me and got me a great deal, will absolutely book through them again!
I have never been better taken care of in my life. From the moment I stepped off the plane Wakanda tours made sure I had everything I needed, stayed in close contact, and triple checked to mskensuee every element of my trip went smoothly. On top of this I paid less than others on the same tour as me. I am incredibly grateful to both Carlson and Bartho for ensuring that my trip was perfect. Their attention to detail and genuine care ensures that I will be going back to them when I am back and I wholehaeartdedly reccomend wakanda tours!!!!

Wonderful experience!
Went to Maasai Mara by road and back for a 3 day safari. The Land Cruiser was very comfortable and the driver/ guide was friendly and efficient. My two children and I had a wonderful experience.

How to make a tour in Uganda unforgettable
Found Kajie on SafariBookings. It took almost 60 emails to arrange the 13 days safari and Ronald was really patient and always flexible in changing previous plans, since the first email to the last safari day. He cared for every little detail and you can feel his love and enthusiasm for the places you are going to visit. The safari at the end contained all the amazing things that made the tour unforgettable: looking for Big 5 in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth by car and boat, chimps in Kibale, gorillas in Bwindi, zebras in Lake Mburo, stunning views on Lake Bunyonyi, plus 2-day trekking on amazing Rwenzori Mountains and rafting on White Nile. Martin, the professional guide who took care of us, was such a friend: he suggested us little tricks to better appreciate what was going on and told us interesting stories about his country and culture. Also, food and accomodation was really beyond expectations, if you think that we had tried to be as cheap as possible on these subjects. People like these guys definitely need to grow in order to enrich Uganda!

Fantastic African Safari and Beach Holiday
To begin with Uhuru Travel communicated promptly and helped us plan our safari and beach holiday in Tanzania. Uhuru Travel was always on time to help us make our connecting flights and provided transport within Tanzania that wasn't part of our safari. We absolutely loved our Safari! We saw so many animals, more than I expected , and close up. Our safari driver, Zablon, was excellent at spotting animals and informative. He also has a nice personality, calm disposition and good sense of humor. We did have a few issues along the way, such as the Land Cruiser didn't want to start for the first couple days. Zablon, usually left it running or if we part on a hill he could pop the clutch and it would start. Our 2-way radio was only a one way. I had to use my credit card to get into a couple of the parks because the pin number didn't work on Uhuru's card. I was reimbursed but wasn't sure I would be at the time. Also the itinerary I was sent didn't match the timeline of our trip. As a result our lodging in the Serengeti wasn't planning for our overnight stay, but once again our driver came through and we were allowed to stay. Even with all of this we still feel we had an awesome experience, these were minor issues and everything turned out for the best. Our beach time on Zanzibar was excellent! Uhuru Travel is an honest company and I would travel with them again.

Excellent Tour through Kibale, Queen Elizabeth and Bwindi
Richard and his team delivered what they promised. Excellent communication, no problem with permits and dates and hotel suggestions were good. We've done other safaris in Africa and this one was definitely well organized, informative and great fun. Uganda is definitely worth visiting and Richard's team are a great choice for guides, coordination etc.

well-organised safari experience
Abraham was very helpful in planning our trip. He planned an individual trip for us and met our wishes and ideas perfectly. The chosen accommodation were really nice and we were really happy. When we arrived in Tansania he picked us up from the airport and brought us to our first accomodation.
On our 7 day safari trip (including the climbing of Ol Doinyo Lengai) everything worked out well. We went to Tarangire, Lake Natron, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. Our driver Mashaka had a lot of knowledge about the nature and animals. He knew some outlying and not much frequented places and we were able to see animals without other masses. The only thing to criticise is the state of the safari jeep - no belt, no headrest and in general really old. Compared to the jeeps of other safari companys the jeep of african travel tour looked a bit shabby.
All in all we can really recommend african travel tour - outstanding service for an adequate price.

Perfect 6-day camping and lodge safari
Thanks to Shemeji we had a fantastic safari. We did the 6-day camping & lodge safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Before departure, Shemeji was quick with responding our questions. During the safari our guide Adam told us a lot about the parks and animals. Thanks to him we saw the big five. Isaac cooked delicious meals in the evening and packed us lunch everyday. De accommodations during the safari were very divers and perfect.

A Pleasant Surprise
I use the word "surprise" in the heading because our group of nine were originally scheduled to stay in a permanent tent camp, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were switched to a mobile tent camp at the last minute. As details emerged as to what that entailed, our group was not sure if the last three days of our time in Botswana would result in a positive experience. As soon as we entered the camp site for the first time any fears we had were dispelled by the lovely setting of the camp and the gracious greeting we received from Rob, the owner of Golden Africa, and his staff. Over the next three days we grew to love the experience of being closer to nature--hearing the hippos at night, laughing at the monkeys in the trees, and waking up to the sweet tweeting of the large variety of birds.
We were absolutely amazed at the delicious food that was prepared from a simple kitchen and open fire pit. We lacked for only a few comforts of home and actually enjoyed being disconnected from the world via social media, etc. Experiencing the animals of Botswana was all the entertainment we needed.
Rob and his staff, whom have been with him for many years, have perfected the mobile camping experience. An experience we will cherish forever.

Very skilled as well as pleasant and easy to deal with.
The process of deciding the safaritour, Payment and other administration were very smoth and easy.
Out guide at the safari, Omari, were very skilled, friendly and really did the best for us. We saw more animals than expected as Omari knew where to find them and did not give up searching for them. Out great cook Godson serverad great meals every day.
The only thing that could have been better was the standard of the car.
We can highly recomend Shemeji.
