Victoria Falls and Chobe National Park
My self and a group of work friends used African Uncovered Safaris for a four day three night trip excursion after working in Harare for the week prior to heading back to the US. Tafara our guide and Simba our driver were amazing! We wanted to last minute add on swimming at Devil’s Pool at Victoria Falls. They made it happen with a little bit of adjustment to our schedule. We didn’t miss anything on our itinerary! The walking tour of Victoria Falls our sunset and sunrise safaris at Chobe were amazing! They far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend them!!!!

Supportive
Overall I am satisfied with this tour, that included game drives and Maasai village. Our guide was very enthusiastic and took us to many places during Safari. When we checked later some people did not see the scenes that we saw. He was very friendly, cheerful and knew the area pretty well. He was also very helpful to other colleagues during Safari ride... three trucks were stuck in the mud and he did not hesitate to help them as well as he stopped and helped the driver with the flat tyre. I think that such support in the middle of the nowhere is very important. I will recommend him as a good guide and driver. The company itself provided several options and I stayed at the Tented Camp and I knew what to expect, but the company did not warn us that there will be no Internet and it was quite challenging, food was below average and it also was challenging because there were no eateries close to this camp. So I would recommend to plan wisely where to stay.

Tafara and Simba were phenomenal—very knowledgeable but also extremely kind and gracious hosts.
We had an incredible time with Africa Uncovered Safaris! Tafara and Simba were so professional and knowledgeable but also really took the time to individualize our group’s experience. They were flexible and helped us change/add excursions as we desired. They were also very attentive to our needs (we asked them to take us to a grocery store to buy some toiletries but they showed up that morning with the toiletries in hand so we didn’t have to waste time stopping at the grocery store). It was also such a pleasure to get to know them and their life stories—they were just very warm and welcoming. I am very grateful for how special they made our experience and highly recommend this company (especially Tafara and Simba) to all.

A trip of a lifetime, organized like one should be!
This was an amazing trip, it was very well organized and things were great. Any little hitches that did pop up were handled right away and disappeared. The communication with Mega Wild was easy throughout the trip. They were there at all hours for us.
We were fortunate enough to have great guides that were very accommodating and very flexible to work with us to make sure that the trip was all we wanted. They went out of their way to stop and pick up local treats and fruits so we could try them all. They also were very successful in getting us to locations where we were able to see all of the big 5, I think this is not always the case so well done to them for this! As you are spending lots of time with these guides it is very important to have some of the best and I feel that we did.
We split our trip into 2 countries, visiting both Tanzania and Uganda as we wanted to do the gorilla trekking. This was the highlight of the trip for sure!! Visiting and hanging out with a family of gorillas was something that will never be forgotten for certain.
It would be easy to go on and on about this trip but the easiest way to experience it is to go out and do it yourselves. You will not regret it.
Working with Anne at Mega Wild was the BEST, she was available at all hours even with the time change as we organized before we left, Anne was incredibly helpful and easy to deal with. She answered EVERY question, and we had lots but she easily put us at ease for the trip before we left.
Highly recommend that dealing with Mega Wild and Anne for the benefit of being at ease before you leave, and knowing that she is there the whole time while you are there is very comforting as well. Anne did not disappear at all, and was just as reachable while there as before we left. Many kudos and thanks to here, Without her I do not believe the trip would have been as successful.

Meticulous planning made the journey seamless and enjoyable.
I am writing to convey my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional trip to Kenya that you organized. From our arrival, every aspect was meticulously planned and executed, resulting in an unforgettable experience for us.
I would like to particularly highlight our visit to Masai Mara. The game drives and the carefully chosen accommodations were remarkable. Traveling with a small baby posed certain challenges, yet your team ensured his comfort and well-being. As vegetarians, we were concerned about food options, but you managed to provide delicious vegetarian meals throughout our stay, from breakfast to packed lunches for our jungle safari; every bite was delightful. The attention to detail in every aspect was truly commendable.
I must also mention David, who not only excelled as an organizer but also demonstrated exceptional kindness and friendship. When my son fell ill during our trip, David attended to all our needs and personally accompanied us to the railway station. I will always remember this generous support, and we are truly grateful for it.
Thank you for your dedication and hard work in crafting such a remarkable vacation for us. I will certainly recommend your services to anyone seeking to travel to Kenya and Masai Mara.

Very well-planned and well-organized trip above expectations
It was an amazing experience way above expectations:
- the country is amazingly clean and beautiful
- the experiences are very well-organized, timely, well-guided
I did not expect the monkeys to let people come over so close, to be so relaxed with people, to be so not caring about people watching them and taking pictures
- the tour guides are really professional and would address any question
- the driver I had during the whole trip, Mico, was amazing: he was there to give information, he was there asking feedback, he was interested in what I like and what I enjoy proposing experiences on top of the agenda to enhance my experience. He was not only on time meeting me in the mornings, the whole day each and every day was very well organized and we were arriving to all the places exactly when it was supposed - unexpected punctuality to be honest
- the hotels guys have chosen are all unique and authentic located in amazing places with amazing views and service
So just want to say thank you very much for the great week I had

Best experience ever!! Thanks to our guide!!
Our safari guide, Mohammed/Muddy was absolutely fantastic—enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and completely focused on making our experience unforgettable. He made sure we saw every animal we hoped for and even surprised us with more, like a cheetah running behind our vehicle, lionesses with their cubs walking right beside us, and a lioness feasting on a fresh wildebeest. We even witnessed leopards and lionesses in trees and the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration up close. He was so patient, answering all our questions with ease, and his passion for the wildlife and the area really stood out. The only downside was the vehicle could use some updates, but it didn’t take away from the incredible journey he gave us.

A dream come true! Special thanks to our guide
Our safari experience was truly unforgettable, thanks to our guide/driver Mohammed/Muddy, who went above and beyond to ensure we had an incredible adventure. His enthusiasm was contagious, and he prioritised our interests, going the extra mile to help us spot every animal on our list—and even more. From a cheetah sprinting directly behind our vehicle to two lionesses with their cubs strolling beside us, and a pride of lions with one lioness feasting on a fresh wildebeest, every moment was breathtaking.
He also treated us to rare sights like leopards and lionesses perched in trees and gave us a front-row seat to the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration. His deep knowledge of the region and its wildlife was remarkable, and he answered every question we had with patience and insight.
While the vehicle could use some upgrades, this in no way detracted from the excellent service provided by our guide. His dedication and expertise made this an experience of a lifetime. Highly recommended!

It was a perfect safari with our group of 14 Dutch people
From 6 days diving on Zanzibar to a three-day safari tour to Tanzania. Transfers were well arranged and our guides Jonathan and David were waiting for us at Arusha airport with their Toyota landcruisers. Both guides guided us perfectly during these three tiring but certainly not to be missed safari days to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. Encounter with The Big Five and dozens of other wild animals and birds. Super three days, ending with a short visit to a Masai community.
