Victoria from Nsavi Safaris is the best!
Victoria is clearly one of the best tour organizers in the world. Her communication is outstanding, always responded promptly to any questions and emails and she did changes and customize the tours in any way I wished. Her professionalism and flexibility make her truly exceptional!
Our driver and tour guide Alex was also great. Intelligent, funny, friendly and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and got everything we needed.
Uganda is one of the few places in the world where you can spend time with mountain gorillas, do chimpanzees tracking and also embark on a safari to encounter elephants, lions, and leopards. And all of this in just a few days.
I highly recommend Nsavi Safaris!

Spectacular Private Tour with Banok Safari. Driver, Douglas and Guide, Willie aka Double Whisky!
Private Tours, my second with Banok Safaris. We had 12 days of nonstop tours in 4 different Camps! Each day was full of lucky sightings of the Big 5! Exciting and couldn’t get enough of seeing all the best. Ofcourse, it all depends on the knowledge and expertise of the Guide and the operator! I would recommend highly! Kinjo Sister’s.

Very efficient, accommodating, and quick to reply to any inquiries.
We did the 6-day, Big-5 Safari and it was awesome! Kelvin was great to deal with. He was quick to reply to any questions we had and all the accommodations he arranged were great. Drivers were all very professional. Herman gave us a lovely tour of Arusha. Our Safari driver, Kunda, was so much fun. He was very accommodating and he got us all of the “Big 5” and so much more…even cheetahs up close!! Getting so near to many of the animals was beyond exciting and at no time did we feel unsafe. Thank you Meru Slopes!

Zimbabwe and Botswana Game Tracker was excellent
We recently completed the Zimbabwe and Botswana Game Tracker Safari with Sunway Safaris and it was excellent.
The guides, Shandele and Dickson were hard working, efficient, had excellent English and were great cooks. Most importantly, they each had a wonderful sense of humour and were kind and generous. We called them “The Two Smiling Faces of Africa”.
The food was healthy, delicious and plentiful both on the road and at our accommodation.
The accommodation was much better than we expected and each place had something special going for it.
The Red Elephant was as comfortable as it could be considering some of the rough roads that we travelled on. There was plenty of leg room and large windows.
The tour was well organised in terms of the variety of places we travelled to. We saw many, many animals as well as a variety of beautiful landscapes including many natural features.
The tour was very well priced considering the inclusions such as entrance fees. We booked directly with Sunway. The communication was prompt and Grace was very friendly and able to answer all our questions.
We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with Sunway again.

Professional local operator w/ responsive service, great guides, & excellent value for a top safari
We just completed a 6-night, 7-day private safari with Colours Africa Tours, and the experience exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, working with Nasra, our sales contact, was a pleasure. Her responsiveness and attention to detail through WhatsApp made planning effortless, and she readily adjusted our itinerary to perfectly match our preferences.
We're happy with the decision to choose a local Arusha-based tour operator, as it offered exceptional value for the experience. The accommodations at tented camps within the national parks were fantastic, immersing us in the natural beauty of the parks.
Our guide, Norton, was a highlight for us. He was the perfect addition to our small group. His expertise and intuition led us to some incredibly rare and special wildlife sightings. What impressed us most was his ability to anticipate animal movements and position the vehicle for optimal viewing angles, even during popular sightings where multiple vehicles were present.
Norton's vehicle was impeccably maintained, clean, and comfortable, making our long days of game drives a pleasure. His knowledge of the area's wildlife and ecosystems was impressive, but it was his good-natured personality and sense of humor that really made the experience special. We shared many laughs throughout the journey, and he added a lot to our overall experience.
We visited the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park (where we did a walking safari and a night drive, we highly recommend both). Each location offered unique and incredible experiences. Norton's expertise enhanced every moment of wildlife viewing, ensuring we got the most out of each location.
Thanks to Colours Africa and Norton, we saw some truly unforgettable and rare wildlife moments. This trip exceeded our expectations in every way. We wholeheartedly recommend Colours Africa Tours and Safari (and Norton!) to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. It was truly a trip of a lifetime!

Professional, attentive, and exceptional service for unforgettable gorilla treks
We had an unforgettable experience with Great Adventures Uganda Safaris! Our trip to see the gorillas in Bwindi was magical, and the entire journey was seamless from start to finish.
After a week on safari in Tanzania, we flew to Kigali, where we were picked up and transferred to Bwindi. At the border, we swapped drivers and were introduced to David, our Uganda driver and guide. David was a skilled and confident driver, navigating the roads with ease and enthusiasm. He was passionate about sharing Uganda with us.
We worked with Samuel to organize our trip, and he was awesome. From the beginning, Samuel was incredibly helpful, communicative, and flexible, ensuring we crafted the perfect itinerary for our needs. His responsiveness, even at odd hours, was impressive and reassuring. When my fiancée hurt her ankle and couldn’t participate in our planned golden monkey trek the day after the gorilla habituation experience, Samuel and the team immediately jumped into action. They arranged a romantic sunset boat ride on Lake Bunyonyi and adjusted our accommodations from Lake Mutanda to the stunning Birdnest Lodge at Lake Bunyonyi, all at no additional charge. This level of care and thoughtfulness truly set them apart.
The gorilla habituation experience itself was everything we hoped for and more. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend extended time with these incredible animals, and it was worth every moment. Our stay at Gorilla Leisure Lodge was another highlight as this lodge had, by far, the best food of anywhere we stayed in Africa, with an incredibly kind and attentive staff.
We cannot recommend Great Adventures Uganda Safaris enough. I would work with Samuel again in a heart beat. The overall attention to detail made our trip stress-free and filled with unforgettable memories. If you’re considering a trip to Uganda, you won't go wrong with this team.

Definitely coming back
Absolutely incredible experience! From start to finish, the safari was beyond my expectations. The wildlife was stunning, but what made this trip truly unforgettable was the care and warmth of Anna and her daughter, Juliana.
Anna ensured every detail was perfect, while Juliana went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. We bonded so much during the trip that we became like sisters. She was always by my side, making sure I was okay and sharing laughs and stories along the way. It felt less like a tour and more like an adventure with family.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable safari experience with people who genuinely care, this is it. Highly recommend!

Experienced guide who knows what’s’ best for the tourist with him
Plan for Kenya was by my friends who I accompanied and should say the tour from Airport to Train Station is the best experience we had.
Every day planning, hotel/ campsite stays, game rides for animal viewing, masai village tour, cycling , boat rides - everything was more than we expected.
Tour guide had good knowledge of all wild animals in Masai Mara Reserve & Amboselli National park and he never denied our request for more animal viewing or getting closer to animal herds for good pictures & closer viewing.
It’s a lifetime experience that I wouldn’t forget and I hope everyone opting Karibu Safaris also will have the same satisfaction.

Exceptional tour operator!
I had an unforgettable adventure on Mount Kilimanjaro with MJ Safaris. This was my first long trek and the highest altitude I’ve ever been to. However, thanks to the incredible team, I was able to complete the trek and enjoy every moment of it.
A huge thank you to my guide, Silvano. He was exceptional at pacing, ensuring we took breaks at the right moments, which was especially important given the challenging nature of the trek. He was also incredibly knowledgeable, knowing every tree and flower on the mountain. His passion for climbing and nature was truly inspiring, and it kept me going, not just on Kilimanjaro, but in my future mountain adventures as well.
The climbing crew was incredibly kind and encouraging, which made the trek feel like a team effort. Every day, I was greeted with warm smiles. The porters climbed incredibly fast and always helped find the best spots to set up camp.
The food and camping equipment provided by MJ Safaris were the best at the campsite—not only for me but also for the climbing crew. It’s clear that MJ Safaris truly values the well-being of their staff, which made the entire experience feel even more supportive and comfortable.
Additionally, the logistics were flawless. The pick-up and accommodation arrangements before and after the tour were well-organized, ensuring a seamless experience from start to finish.
Without the support of the MJ Safaris, I would not have been able to complete the trek. I highly recommend MJ Safaris to anyone looking to embark on an unforgettable adventure on Mount Kilimanjaro.
