Amazing tour experience!
We (couple) did a 9 day tour from Entebbe Airport, finishing in Kigali. I would highly recommend Buyaga Safaris as well as Uganda as a must visit country!
Anderson is a truly exceptional guide; hard working, knowledgeable and very friendly. One of the accommodation options did not meet our expectations (Kibale Forest Lodge), we told Anderson we were a little disappointed but it was ok for two nights. Without any prompting, he found an alternative option, told us the price difference and arranged for us to move hotels. He constantly checks in and worked hard to make sure we had a good time on our tour. We were interested to learn as much about the country as we could while we were there and Anderson was very knowledgeable about the history of his country, culture and almost as knowledgeable about all the animals as the local guides we used along the way.
Peter was very responsive and helpful arranging the tour and managing our booking.
The roads in Uganda are pretty good (except for getting to Bwindi) so the vans with the open top option is more than suitable for this tour. I dont think you need an operator that has the 4WD.
My only other tip is, for the Gorilla trek, to really insist that you only having similar levels of fitness in your group (I am not sure how much say you actually have with the rangers though). They will make sure everyone sees the gorillas, even if the person isnt really fit enough for the activity. One of the people in our group required an "african helicopter" (worth a google) to get out of the jungle and it probably meant we had to sit around for 2 hours as they cut down half the forest to carry this tourist out. We still had an amazing experience but it definitely wasnt ideal.

Wonderful and Perfect !
Their staff are fantastic: Paul prepared our trip with great attention to every detail, Bran (guide in Kenya) and Justin (guide in Tanzania) were simply fantastic! They were with us the entire time on the safaris and explained super interesting, fun aspects and always attentive to all our needs!!

An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari Experience!
I can’t recommend this tour operator enough! From start to finish, my experience was seamless, enjoyable, and truly exceeded my expectations.
First, I’d like to mention Risper, who was my main point of contact throughout the entire process. She was incredible—always quick to respond and provided all the information I needed in a timely and clear manner. Risper really took the time to understand my preferences and crafted an itinerary and quote that perfectly aligned with my budget and requests. I felt completely taken care of right from the planning stage.
Then there’s Kevin, who was our driver and guide for the duration of the trip. Kevin made our safari experience unforgettable. He’s a true professional with a deep passion for the wildlife, culture, and landscapes of Kenya. His enthusiasm was contagious, and I learned so much from him throughout the journey. He was also incredibly respectful of local cultures and showed a genuine understanding of the communities we visited, making our trip not just enjoyable, but educational as well.
The price of the tour was very reasonable, especially considering the luxury and quality of the service we received. The operator provided the best options within our budget, and we truly felt we were getting excellent value for money.
This safari was part of our honeymoon, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. It was everything my husband and I had dreamed of, and we can’t wait to return for our next adventure in Kenya.
Thank you for making our honeymoon truly special and unforgettable! I highly recommend this operator to anyone looking for a top-notch safari experience.

Extraordinary
The service and quality are excellent, there is not a single issue that needs to be improved regarding cost-benefit. Personally we were lucky that our guide was Jhon, an excellent person and unbeatable at his job, I highly recommend him.
I traveled with my 2 sisters and I would have only preferred that there was more communication with Crimson, for these reasons: 1) I was about to pay for the trip and I didn't know that I had to process the visa to Kenya. 2) I hired internet before traveling and Crimson very kindly provided you with excellent quality internet throughout the entire trip, they were also able to let us know so that we could avoid that expense. 3) They provide incredible places to eat, very nice restaurants, however, we came back from a road trip tired and not so clean, which somewhat prevents us from enjoying the high quality places that (Crimson) chooses. 4) They should ask tourists to invite their guide to meals in restaurants, we would have liked Jhon (our guide) to accompany us.
In short, Crimson's service is AMAZING, but I think they should provide the complete itinerary so they are prepared, thus avoiding unnecessary expenses because they are already included, and allowing you to be more comfortable in choosing places (like restaurants).

Incredible safari
Safari was really incredible we had Alen as our driver I would highly recommend requesting him if possible his knowledge was amazing and his ability to spot and find animals was second to none.
All of the accomodation was really nice aswell which made it really enjoyable
Great safari
Just came back from 3 day Masai Mara Safari. It was very scenic and super interesting to see mara animals.
Our guide Robert was super knowledgeable and told us a lot about the ecosystem, masai tribe, animals etc etc.
Would recommend

Steve is a very kind and patient person, he made various itineraries for us to find the perfect one.
This is the first time I travel to African, it’s my luck to find such a team with patient operator and experienced guide, who can almost identify every species in our safari journey. They made specific timetables to ensure we have the best experience, beyond that, we can also change our plan if we want, but here you don’t even have the chance to do that because the itinerary is almost perfect. What’s more, the hotels we lived in that week is much better than we thought, birds fly over your rooms, zebras and giraffes live with you peacefully, foods are delicious too, although they always taste similar 🤓. Finally, I will trully recommend this safari to all of you, economic, reliable and unforgettable.

He is very friendly, attentive and competent.
We had an incredible safari experience last week in Tanzania and we are beyond satisfied with the service provided by our guide Sam from Mirisho Expedition Safaris. From the very beginning we felt safe and well taken care of. Our guide navigated every road with skill and confidence, ensuring we reached each destination smoothly while keeping the atmosphere light enjoyable. His careful driving made us feel completely secure throughout the trip and his warm personality and enthusiasm always kept us in good spirits.
A particular highlight was the hotel he personally selected for us. This thoughtful choice perfectly reflected the careful planning and attention to detail that defined the entire journey.
The breathtaking landscapes and seamless organization made our safari unforgettable. Every moment was planned with care and the guide’s expertise, kindness and knowledge made it truly special. We recommend Mirisho Expedition Safaris for an adventure that is not only unforgettable but also filled with comfort, safety and joy.
