Professional, Reliable Organisation, knowledgeable guide - incredible experience.
The tour with Manka was great all the way through. Very professional organization and communication beforehand - safe drivers, great food, incredibly knowledgeable guide who drove us to alle the great spots in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, and gave valuable insights into wildlife and animal behavior, information about plants and history of the park. He had been a guide for 20 years and knew the area inside out.
We saw all the big 5 and so much more.
Overall an amazing experience, which I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly special, awe-inspiring Safari experience!

First Safari, Saw It All
Seasoned traveler, only my second tour, and first safari. I chose Good One Tours through safaribookings.com because at the time, they were the only ones offering anything longer than 6 days. I selected their posted 8-Day safari, was able to swap out the cultural village tour day for a walking safari in Arusha National Park, and was pleased with the discounted quote - which I paid in advance in two installments using their secure Pesapal online payment system. In trying to prepare the best I could, Gadiel was always quick to answer questions saying everything was provided - which was not always the case. On arrival, my hotel had changed...as the provided itinerary states is a possibility, and Gadiel came to the hotel to explain my itinerary had also changed - based on grouping me with another tour company that was leaving the following day with room for a solo traveler visiting Tarangire, 3-days in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater (which were the safari highlights and would have been sufficient), and Lake Manyara National Park - which I currently do not recommend due to climate change rising waters of the lake, loss of grasslands, and slash and burns happening all over the park to recreate habitat for the minimal animals seen. Otherwise, I spent only two days with Good One Tours and Martin was definitely the highlight as my guide and driver for Arusha National Park, Napuru Waterfalls, and return to JRO airport. He was prompt, knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely interested in connecting and sharing with me on numerous levels beyond my just being another customer. He was not constantly on his phone, trying to pass me off to strangers, attempting to 'witness' debate me about Christianity and religion, and I never would have made it to/from Napuru Falls without his help navigating the said "30-minute walk" with undisclosed steep trail, slippery rocks, and crossing a rushing stream at least 7 times. He has a resilient passion for people and being the best guide and host possible. For the payment system and Martin, I can recommend Good One Tours but be prepared for 'luck of the draw' to what you finally get once there. Even with the worst of inconveniences, it's still a 5-star experience and just another part of the adventure.

With Hamsa as Guide it was a awesome experience!
I had a rountrip through Uganda with the national parks, nature walks, shimpanzees, gorillas and the lake Buyonye. My guide Hamsa was the best! He show and explain me so much about the animals the nature and the people who live there! The lodges and the meals there was really awsome and i enjoyed it much. The organsiation of the routes and the timetables where also really good.

Unforgettable, Exciting, Luxurious
The Super Eagle is excellent in terms of service attitude and Safari. Edwin helped us find the top five in Africa, and Brian was able to reach us at all times we needed. It was a happy and unforgettable journey of lifelong memories, and I love the Super Eagle

Best service, felt like family!
Had the most amazing time on Kilimanjaro with Zanzi. It was just me and a team of 4 porters, 1 guide and 1 chef. They did such a great job making me feel good every day. The food was amazing, I even felt like I was glamping in stead of camping. The team is wonderful and so is the mountain. My guide Charles could tell me all about nature, animals and of course Kilimanjaro. Learned a lot and had the best time climbing the highest peak in Africa. Thank you Zanzi!

Excellent operator for gorilla trekking
I recently had the incredible opportunity to take a 3-day safari with Lulu Safaris Uganda to see the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From start to finish, Lulu Safaris made the entire journey seamless, enjoyable, and unforgettable.
The long drive from Entebbe to Bwindi, while lengthy, was made thoroughly enjoyable by the professionalism and warmth of the drivers. They were not only knowledgeable and friendly but also great to talk to, which helped pass the time quickly. The drive itself was breathtaking, with landscapes that change dramatically throughout the day, and the final stretch through the mountains in the late afternoon was nothing short of spectacular.
One of the highlights of the trip was the accommodation. The lodge we stayed at was luxurious and perfectly nestled in the forest, offering stunning views from the balcony that I could have spent hours on. The food, both at the lodge and the local restaurants along the way, was fantastic—a true introduction to the rich flavours of Ugandan cuisine.
Communication with Lulu Safaris was a breeze from the very beginning. Elvis ensured that all my questions were answered promptly, whether through email or WhatsApp, making the planning process stress-free.
As for the gorilla trekking itself, words can hardly do it justice. Observing the majestic mountain gorillas in their natural habitat was simply awe-inspiring. The trek through the jungle is challenging, and I would recommend being in good physical shape, but this only adds to the adventure. The dedication and passion of the park rangers and trackers who guided us were inspiring—they are doing incredible work to protect these magnificent creatures and their environment.
In summary, I cannot recommend Lulu Safaris Uganda enough. The combination of their excellent service, attention to detail, and the unmatched experience of seeing the gorillas up close makes this an adventure I will never forget. If you’re considering a gorilla trekking experience, look no further than Lulu Safaris!

5-Day Fly in Luxury Safari to Serengeti, Crater, Manyara
We did the 5 day luxury safari which included flights to and from Zanzibar. From start to finish this tour exceeded expectations. We booked this trip 6 weeks in advance so we were on a time crunch. William organized everything for us. He was fast to respond to emails, answered all our questions, and was in contact with us every step of the way to ensure everything went smoothly. Our tour guide Aaron was phenomenal, with 20+ years experience as a safari guide he was a wealth of knowledge and could spot all the animals. The accommodations were amazing we especially love Manyara best view lodge and Manyara’s Secret with private pools in your room, impeccable service, and amazing food. We would highly recommend Telly Africa Safaris to anyone looking for their bucket list safari trip.

The Best Decision – A Safari Experience We’ll Never Forget!
From the moment I first messaged Live in Love Kenya Tours on WhatsApp while still in the U.S., I had a gut feeling this was the company to go with—and wow, was I right! Best decision ever! My two teenagers and I had the adventure of a lifetime with Peter and his team.
Right from day one in Amboseli National Park, we knew this experience would be special. We were the only vehicle in sight when our guide, with an incredible ability to read animal behavior, told us to start filming because something amazing was about to happen. Sure enough, we watched two male impalas suddenly lock horns in an intense battle! One lost an antler, and before we knew it, he bolted off just feet from our vehicle. It was unreal. Now that I’ve watched my video a million times, I can see what our guide noticed instantly.
Why should you book with them? If you can, go private! It was actually cheaper than joining a group of strangers, and the flexibility made all the difference. At one point, our guide pulled over to the side of the road so we could buy fresh dragon fruit. I never liked dragon fruit in the U.S., but this was a treat.
Another major perk of this small company? The guides communicate with each other in the parks, tipping each other off to sightings. That’s how we ended up spotting a cheetah! And everywhere we went, it was clear that the guides from Live in Love Kenya Tours were respected and well-liked by others in the field.
The accommodations were fantastic, including our stay inside the park at Lake Nakuru, where we enjoyed incredible food, friendly staff, and even affordable laundry service (which, trust me, was so appreciated after days in the bush!).
One thing I had worried about was visiting a Maasai village that felt “staged” for tourists. That was absolutely not the case here! On our last day in the Masai Mara, our guide introduced us to a local Maasai man who joined our Safari. He shared stories about his life, helped scout for wildlife, and gave us a genuine, respectful connection to the culture.
Of course, any safari will show you incredible animals, but what sets this company apart is the people. The guides aren’t just knowledgeable; they genuinely care about giving you the best experience possible. We had real conversations, shared laughter, and walked away with more than just great photos—we left with new friendships. My family now calls Peter a friend, I expected this to be once in a lifetime, but… I’d 100% come back if I can score a cheap flight!
If you’re even thinking about booking with them—just do it! You won’t regret it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars all the way!

The right company to choose. Wished we would of taken a longer tour!
We had an amazing 5 day tour with Idi, and we enjoyed it very much!
We recommend this company, as they are very reliable, informative, responsive and go amazing length to satisfy.
Planning the trip was easy, petro answered all of our questions, made changes to the trip according to our requests, upgraded us for no extra cost on the first night accommodation, and most importantly, helped me plan a beautiful proposal! They did it so discreetly my fiancé never suspected anything!
The cars are very well built, we had outlets for charging and a fridge for our drinks. All of our bags were safely buckled and covered so won't get dusty.
The only things I would say are missing was some hot drinks and Internet connection on the roads (some other companies have WiFi in the cars, and would bring a picnic box to keep the lunch warm and hot water for coffee or tea). The AC didn't work in the jeep but honestly was not necessary as the weather was perfect, and on the long drive from the airport to the safari we were driven in a taxi which was comfortable, we were able to catch some sleep.
The guide we had was a natural, took us where we wanted, show to all the animals, great choice in hiring him! he even gave us really good binoculars so we were able to have a great game drive.
We had the most amazing time, don't hesitate, this is the right company to pick for an amazing experience of one in a lifetime.
