perfect safari trip
We was the first time on a safari and what can we say, we loved it!! Joysharon planned everything for us perfect and was so lovely. Our driver John was the perfect driver and guided, he knows all the places where the animals stays and we learnd a lot about the animals and nature. He was very helpful and friendly and a funny person. He loves his job and that makes the feeling more special. We saw all the big 5 and more. It was so beautiful. We was in amboseli nationalpark, nakuru nationalpark and masai mara nationalpark. Also we did a hot air balloon safari in masai mara. Everything was organized from mornigstar safaris and the fit was perfect. Also the hotels and the food was very nice.
We thank the whole mornigstar team and hope we will see us again.

Best communication service
I am so satisfied with my travel plans and experience. David and John was always with me and answered all questions whatever I wanted to know before I travel to Kenya. I was traveling solo but I never had to worry about anything because they were communicating with me. Lalashe was the best home stay for me. The manager and the staff were pampered me a lot. I really appreciate everything. Thanks a lot everyone.

Trip of a lifetime - Brian is the G.O.A.T guide 🐐
Just got back from the most incredible 10-day wildlife and primate tour in Uganda with Tubale Safaris, and I honestly can’t recommend them enough—especially our guide, Brian.
From the moment we met him, Brian went above and beyond to make sure our trip was unforgettable. His knowledge of wildlife (and Uganda in general) is insane—he’s basically a walking encyclopedia. But beyond that, he’s just an all-around amazing person. Super friendly, welcoming, and always making sure we were comfortable and having the best time.
Every single day exceeded our expectations. Whether it was tracking gorillas, spotting lions and countless leopards, or just chatting about life in Uganda, Brian made everything feel special. He’s a true expert at what he does, and we feel so lucky to have had him as our guide for these 10 incredible days.
Also, a massive shoutout to Annette and the Tubale team—the whole booking process was smooth, and everything was so well-organized from start to finish. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
If you’re thinking about a safari in Uganda, book with Tubale and ask for Brian—you won’t regret it! Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

Nice experience, but with some negative aspects
Me and my girlfriend went on a safari with Vision Safari. In general, it went all smooth, the drivers were very nice and we were able to see all animals. The food was good. We were given very good binoculars, branded tshirts and a keychain, which we really appreciated.
There were a couple things which were unexpected:
- You are informed by Vision safari that there might be some people from other agencies in the car, but they don’t inform you that you’re actually one of them, because we were on a car NOT owned nor handled by Vision safari, instead it belonged to a second company, and hosted customers from themselves, vision safari and other agencies.
- Vision safari mentions while booking that they have the best and newest vehicles, however the ones we got did not belong to them as mentioned before, and were about 25 years old with more than 550.000 km on the Odometer. They were not well maintained, the last we got had wet seats in the morning and was leaking water inside all over the safari.
- They advertise that the tent you’ll sleep in has some bed structures, however you’ll sleep on 10 cm mattresses on the ground.
- While you are in the lodge waiting for your car, it’s not really clear what’s gonna happen, when and whit whom. You just wait, sometimes hours.
- The people that were in our car booked the very same safari (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara) and being them in our very same car, they had the exact same experience. They booked through Serengetisafaritour and spent 700 USD per person, as opposed to us, which booked with Vision safari and spent 850 USD per person. I would then recommend to go with Serengetisafaritour to save 150 USD per person and receive the exact same experience.
- On the website the price was 800 USD, but when we receive the quote they raised the price to 850 USD without informing us beforehand. I did not like that they raised the price, and that they did it without saying it. Furthermore, we requested the safari only, but when they sent us the quote and asked us to formally accept it, they included 2 nights in a hotel/lodge without informing us, and at an additional price not included in the quote. I would recommend you read the offer thoroughly to be sure of what you’re accepting.

Wonderful Safari Experience
Such a professional ,well planned adventure. Even though it was a last minute inquiry all was arranged with ease and as they say hakuna matata…. With no problem. Well thought, perfectly organized, amazingly lived lifetime experience. Worth every penny spent. For those who want to get a real sense of Africa nothing can beat this. Deo such a professional hands on company owner and Frank an amazingly pleasant driver who can even make Senna jealous with his driving skills and his great smile made it so memorable for us.
Very customer friendly and willing to accommodate special requests and tailor the experience.
Berlinda is focussed on the customer and accommodating individual schedules and interests. She is also great at keeping you up to date as you plan the itinerary and finalise the trip.

We enjoyed a fantastic experience with Amazing Memories Safaris
We all very enjoyed this Safari experience, the staff in Amazing Memories Safaris are warm and helping, helped with everything we needed including hotels, meals and train tickets, etc.
And we are much appreciated our guide - James, who's really enthusiastic, professional with animals, good at driving and so on. He made our Safari experience more delighted and memorable.
The only drawback was the experience in "Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge", theirs staff are less professional with cold attitudes.

Even better than expected! Loved it!
We did the budget (camping) 4 day tour and absolutely loved it. We were very happy with our tour guide 'Melita'. He was very knowledgable and we loved his fun facts. He knows how to read the animals and explained that he will not approach animals if he deems them unsafe (e.g. if elephants are in Musth). We found the tents durable, very clean and good quality. The pillows and sleeping bags provided were clean and comfortable.
Food provided by the chef James was amazing and he catered to my partner who has a gluten intolerance! Made him separate pancakes, soups etc. Delish food.
On one of the days, because it's rainy season with a lot of mud, our car got stuck in the mud for a while. Let me tell you, it was a fun experience. It's all about your mindset and attitude! You can be grumpy or enjoy the adventurem We made the most of it and enjoyed sunset in the Serengeti, and got to see a crocodile, lions and a hippo when driving back to the campsite.
We managed to see the big 5 and we were so grateful for the whole experience!
HELPFUL TIPS: 1) Just politely tell your guide when you are all ready to move on from one animal 'stop' to another. It would be easy to feel bored and complacent, OR your group can agree to say when they're content to move on together and let the driver know.
2) Pack warm clothes for staying in Ngorongoro National Park. 3) If camping, rent/buy a headtorch for showers and hanging from the roof of your tent etc as there isn't always good lighting. 4) I can't stress this enough- it is 100% WORTH hiring/buying binoculars for each person or you will miss out. 4) Consider a battery pack for your phones as campsites power points are often used by others 5) Be forward with your guide and chef and advocate your needs or curiosities 6) If you opt to visit the Maasai Village (it is brilliant), be prepared to tip them separately or be asked to buy jewellery etc to support the women. 7) Be prepared to rough it when you're camping. Like anywhere in the world, campsite showers etc may have bugs. 8) Take snacks for your car rides. 9) Just do your best to have a good attitude. 10) The drives are long- take a book, headphones, crossword.
We had the time of our lives and may do this tour again, even. Take the plunge!

Amazing guide and driver – perfect timing for the best wildlife spots!
From start to finish, this safari was absolutely outstanding! Communication was seamless, even before the trip, and the service was top-notch—everything was tailored to our needs. The value for money? A solid 12/10! 😅 We saw an incredible amount of wildlife and had what felt like a private tour, just the two of us, rather than being packed into a vehicle with ten others. On top of that, our driver had perfect timing, always getting us to the right spots at the right moment. You could truly tell he loved his job and knew the area inside out—he shared so much fascinating knowledge with us. Truly an exceptional experience—couldn’t be happier!
