Amazing Safari Trip With Good Price And Services
We are a group of final year medical students who were joining Asili Explorer for a 7-day 6-night safari trip after our attachment in Haydom Lutherans Hospital. We all find the trip memorable and satisfactory with a reasonable price.
Throughout the whole safari, Joe, our guide and the owner of the company, never let us down in finding the hidden animals and offering detailed descriptions. He was very experienced guide who worked for a long time before opening up his own company. He had no problem in communication with us in English. We were very lucky to see all the Big 5, especially leopards which always hide themselves on trees in the daytime and are very hard to identify. He is also very nice and willing to share with us the different cultures of Tanzania during mealtime.
We chose to camp in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. The experience was excellent. The campsite was beautiful and the tent offered by Joe was quite comfortable to sleep in.
The food offered by Issac the chef was also wonderful. We had different dishes everyday. They were all very delicious and were out of our expectations. We usually had lunchboxes in the daytime and a full course meal with soup, main courses and desserts for dinner at the campsite. Joe also mentioned to us that they can prepare special meals for vegetarians or other specific requests.
Overall, Asili Explorer is a quite new company yet with experienced and passionate guides. They offered us an unforgettable safari trip with a good price and excellent services.

great safari with duma!!
The safari we did for 1 week with duma was great. The guide, Ebeneezer, can spot wild animals from incredibly far away. he is a very friendly, knowledgeable and reliable guide. We really enjoyed talking to him about wildlife but not only...he is also keen in speaking about economics, politics and the general situation of Tanzania. We definitely recommend a safari with duma!!

I would recommend a Steady Safari experience to anyone for professional detailed service offered.
I would recommend a Steady Safari experience to anyone.
I regularly visit Uganda for work and decided to take a safari on my last visit. As a single traveller I was a bit nervous of taking a safari by myself, but Carlos from Steady Safaris was amazing. All the arrangements for the trip were sorted out via email prior to me departing for Uganda which made life much easier.
I had a personal safari experience. Carlos made sure I had a great time even though I traveled alone. We had a wonderful time at the rhino sanctuary on route to Murchison Falls National Park, and the Murchison Park itself was amazing. Our dusk safari was excellent, got to see the big 5, with an afternoon safari adventure thrown in to ensure I saw the lions. The boat trip to the falls was also wonderful, a real experience. I got to stay at the very luxurious Paraa Lodge which was an extra bonus. Carlos made sure my experience was special and I felt safe and secure for my whole trip - as well as having fun! Door to door service provided as well which really helped. I would recommend Steady Safaris to anyone, particularly single travelers as they make sure you don't miss out on any of the excitement just because you are traveling alone. Carlos has excellent local knowledge and knows how to make sure you have the best safari experience.

Walter from Safari Online organised a memorable trip that lived up to all our expectations.
From the moment I contacted Safari Online Walter dealt promptly and efficiently with all my questions and offered excellent advice about my chosen itinerary and preferred accommodation. At no time was there any pressure to choose Safari Online over other operators but at the same time Walter seemed to understand best the experience we were looking for in Namibia and Botswana and the total cost was in line with our budget. The trip was seamless from beginning to end and met our rather high expectations on all fronts. I will definitely use Safari Online for my next trip to Africa.

7 Day Gorilla Trek/Chimpanzee Trek/Safari
We took a 7 day Gorilla Trek/Chimpanzee Trek/Safari provided by Katona Tours in May 2014. We were extremely satisfied with the great job done by Katona in planning and conducting our trip. Our trip included Bwindi, Queen Elisabeth NP, Kibale NP, and Murchison Falls NP.
Katona (Jackie in particular) was extremely helpful and responsive to all of our questions. We were nervous about trying to coordinate a trip from the other side of the world, so we had many questions in the months leading up to it. One of the reasons we selected Katona was their quick and thorough answers to our emails and calls. In our planning, we made inquiries with several tour agencies, but Katona was clearly the best in this regard.
We had the same guide (Richard) for the entire week. He was cheerfully waiting at the airport for our late arrival (near midnight), drove us to all of the parks, conducted our game drives, and got us back to the airport in time for our flight. Richard was enthusiastic, friendly, and very focused on making sure we had the best experience/adventure possible. In addition, he provided good advice and interesting information about Uganda. And finally, he did a great job of driving on a lot of rough roads.
The lodges selected for us by Katona had some of the best food and definitely the best service we have had anywhere. By the time our day activities were completed, we were able to relax comfortably and safely. There are detailed lodge reviews for the places we stayed on TripAdvisor.com, which I believe are accurate. Our lodges were Trekkers Tavern (Bwindi), Twin Lakes (Queen Elisabeth), Kibale Forest Camp (Kibale), and Fort Murchison Lodge (Murchison Falls).
Katona was also a great help in compensating for several failures by our airline (Delta/KLM). Delta delivered us to Entebbe 24 hours late and lost one of our bags. Despite our late arrival, Katona was able to make sure we were able to see all of the things we had planned. They were also able to get our bag to us as soon as the airline finally shipped it. This was a very difficult task because we were about a 6 hour drive away from Kampala/Entebbe when the bag arrived. We can’t thank Katona enough for the help.
In summary, we would highly recommend Katona. The primary reasons were the quick and thorough responses when planning the trip, our satisfaction with getting to see everything we wanted, their ability to assist when we had severe airline problems, and our great guide/driver. Uganda is a much different world than where we live, and Katona made sure we had a great adventure.

Safari tour on Murchison falls, a unforgetable experience!
After we attended a meeting, we decided to book with Matoke Tours. Both the reservation and the booking of other activities went smoothy. The accomodation were very god, perfect planning. The safari tour was perfect, even the water safari! Our driver knew a lot about the safari and he felt good about what our needs were. We only did one tour because we combined this with a visit to our daughter.

Smooth, helpful, professional
The tour was absolutely great. From the booking experience, to the driver, to the hotels, everything went smoothly and minor problems were dealt with effectively. We were travelling for 9 days and took home incredible experiences, thanks to Matoke and especially our driver!! Thanks again.
A unique experience for the adventure traveler
We absolutely loved bouncing around Uganda with Kombi tours. The staff was more than accommodating and highly responsive - before, during and after our trip. Had a great time!
