Very Organised, hassle free
Travelling with Kiboko tours was the best decision to begin with, co originating with Gibson from the start was very comfortable and hassle free, our needs in regards to hotel, transportation and food(vegetarian) was met, Samuel was our drive and tour guide who drove around, we had wonderful conversations about each other’s cultures, he was very kind to us, without his keen interest of showing us around East Africa we wouldn’t have been able to see all the big 5! Thanks to Gibson, Sam and Kiboko tour team.

Excellent from start to finish
Excellent planning and implementation of my 18 day trip to Tigray, Gonder and Simien Mountains as well as the south of Ethiopia.
After I contacted a few local travel providers from Ethiopia for an individual trip lasting around 3 weeks, LiyuEthiopiaTours turned out to be the most competent and professional travel company right from the first contact. Yhun from LiyuTours always responded to my messages quickly, in excellent English and professionally. Yhun immediately put together an individual 18-day trip according to my wishes. Communication was easy via WhatsApp. My numerous questions (e.g. regarding current security situations) and requests were always addressed in the most professional manner and without delay.
When complications arose with my flight booking and applying for my e-visa, Yhun took care of the relevant authorities on site in Addis, thus paving the way for this unforgettable trip.
When I arrived in Ethiopia, my positive experiences continued. The trip was perfectly organized. My accommodation were good. The guides and drivers were outstanding (both personally and professionally). When I got sick for a few days, the guides, drivers and Yhun took excellent care of me. They organized medication and Yhun adjusted my route accordingly. I was impressed by the high degree of flexibility that Yhun demonstrated during my trip in order to best fulfill my wishes on site.
The security situation, which is currently quite explosive in the Amhara region, was also monitored by Yhun and his contacts and I was always kept up to date. I felt safe and in the best hands at all times.
I travel a lot, but I have never experienced such professionalism in planning and implementation, from start to finish. Once again a huge compliment to my driver Gerre and guide Hailay from Tigray, with whom I spent unforgettable days in and around the rock churches of Geralta, Tefera, who was my driver in the south on paper, but qualified as a guide thanks to his immense knowledge, and groom who traveled with me in the Amhara region and cared for me when I was sick.
I am very grateful that I was able to experience this unforgettable time in Ethiopia and highly recommend Liyu Ethiopia.

I recommend you don’t book with Simian Safaris
From our experience, Simian Safaris is not Safe!
We had the worst experience with a safari to Amboseli with this company. They made us first wait for half a day in a gas station waiting for the van.
They also promised a tour that, since the beginning, the driver said it was never planned, even though we paid more more for that specific tour. When we asked for a compensation or a refund, they stopped answering our calls. They even didn’t want to pay the driver for our way back to Nairobi (which was part of the deal and was paid) and THEY LEFT US ABANDONED IN THE NATIONAL PARK with no alternative to come back to the city. After making a lot of pressure from our side, the driver and the lodge, they ended up giving a solution, but our experience was obviously ruined.

Amazing, great, dedicated and resoursefull
Our experience was absolutely amazing. Moses our tour guide made it a mission to bring us up and personal to experience the safari animals. The whole experience felt surreal. If I ever comeback I would use Lenchada Safaris again!!!

A fruitful birding trip in Uganda with a highly experienced birding guide
I had the pleasure of going birding with Davis on 22 April and on 26 April 2024. We went to a number of sites in and around Entebbe,, including in Mabamba swamp and at the Entebbe botanical gardens. We had a lot of opportunities to see birds enroute to Mabamba swamp and around Entebbe. It was evident that Davis is very passionate about birds. He is very knowledgeable and was quick to correctly identify the calls and sighting of birds. He is quite experienced and has one of the sharpest eyes I have come across for spotting birds in any environment. He has extensive knowledge of bird calls and can indeed whistle out many calls himself! We managed to get a number of new species for me in the different spots we went to. He was punctual, friendly, flexible, patient and went to great lengths to ensure that we saw the specials in the areas we visited. Davis is also a dependable driver. I will definitely reach out to Davis in the future for a more extensive birding experience across this beautiful country.

helpful and kind
Our wonderful guide was Kapand,. He picked us up at the hotel and after 4h we arrived in Selous (Nyerere NP). The Safari day was beautiful and Kapande explained everything to us perfectly. The next day he took us to the bush walk and the boat Safari, unfortunately we could only do two days but everything was so beautiful that we could have done more. Thanks Uwanda tour and especially thanks Kapande.

Excellent tour operator for your safari
The safari was beautiful. We got to see almost every animal and even got really close to some of them. The organization was perfect, everything went smoothly. We ended up doing all the experiences. Our driver Kapande was excellent and made the safari even more special. He managed to spot all the animals and spread his knowledge about them to us. When it stared to rain his driving abilities were impressive, making the ride even more funny and adventurous. Meeting really nice people like him always makes the trip unforgettable!
Thanks to Uwanda Tours and Safaris and Kapande for the wonderful experience 😊
