Songe knew all the right places to go for viewing all the animals, plus he taught me some Swahili!
I don't expect this to be printed, but I think it is necessary to address these unfortunate events. The Landcruiser that we were put in was very poor. The windows were very difficult to slide, even though my husband spent time working on them. Also, the window handle would not stay on the passenger side next to the driver. PLUS, I had a VERY difficult time rolling it up and down all day long to take pictures.
WORSE thing of all is that it is very difficult to climb up into the seat as the vehicle is so high above the ground for short, 5' people. Having to pull myself up that high numerous times a day damaged my rotator cuff in arm/shoulder and I will find out Jan. 4, '26 if I need surgery.
SOLUTION: If Spirit of Kenya (and other tour operators as well) REALLY CARE about the comfort of their travelers, they should keep in the vehicle a FOLDABLE STEP STOOL. I have one that I use at home to get into my cabinets. They are light, some fold up as small as approx. 8x10x1" and they cost under $10. This is a MUST HAVE for short travelers to avoid damaging their rotator cuffs and to make it much easier and faster to get into the high seat of the Landcruiser. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO MY ADVICE if you care about short people. Thank you!

The Pearl of Africa !
Uganda is home to amazing wildlife and it offers a unique opportunity to see the mighty River Nile. That was a highlight of my trip together with the amazing people of the country!

Excellent tour. Armaye delivered everything they promised and more.
This was a customized tour billed as focusing on wildlife photography, but it included so much more. In 3 weeks we did see a lot of wildlife, especially birds, but also a number of cities. The drivers, especially Ermi, were very knowledgeable and friendly. I especially liked the flexibility to adjust our schedule on the fly.
The price was very reasonable, particularly since we stayed in some of the best hotels in the country. I highly recommend Armaye Tours.
Note: The only thing I found annoying has nothing to do with Armaye. Apparently the Ethiopian government requires all tours to use local guides everywhere. In national parks this is often an armed scout. In the cities the local guide can be useful, but the scouts often just tag along and add little or no value. But of course they all expect tips at the end. This appears to be just to provide work for more people, since Ethiopia has a very high unemployment rate.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Honeymoon with Ozon Light Tours
Our experience with Ozon Light Tours was absolutely exceptional and far exceeded our expectations. From the very first contact, the team was incredibly attentive, professional, and always ready to help. As this was our honeymoon, they made sure the entire trip felt truly special, with thoughtful surprises and beautiful details that we will always remember.
We booked a 7-day safari in Tanzania followed by 8 days of pure relaxation in Zanzibar, and everything was perfectly planned and organized from start to finish. The safari was simply amazing—we saw an incredible amount of wildlife and were lucky enough to spot the Big Five. Every day felt like a new adventure, and a huge part of this unforgettable experience was thanks to our safari guide, Dennis. He has an exceptional eye for spotting animals, deep knowledge of the parks, and great experience. On top of that, he was extremely kind, caring, and always very resolutive, making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment.
We would also like to especially thank Clinton, who helped us plan and book the entire trip. From the very beginning until the end of our journey, he was always available, incredibly responsive, and very solution-oriented, quickly resolving any questions or requests we had. His dedication and attention made our honeymoon completely stress-free.
We truly appreciated the honeymoon details and surprises, not only from Ozon Light Tours, but also from the hotels, which made us feel very special throughout the trip and added an extra magical touch to the experience.
We cannot recommend Ozon Light Tours highly enough, especially for couples planning a honeymoon or any special trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. This was a once-in-a-lifetime journey that we will cherish forever, and we would definitely book again.

Reggie was the genuine article, fun loving, enthusiastic and sincere.
After a 10 day safari, I'm Reggie's biggest fan. His enthusiastic spirit is as big as the great outdoors. With his capable hands on the safari jeep's wheel, every day was truly the adventure of a lifetime. You couldn't ask for anything more on a wildlife tour in the most exciting location on the planet. I was in awe of his broad knowledge of Tanzania's flora and fauna. His deep love and respect for the people and animals of his home country is a pure pleasure to experience. Discover the heart of Africa with this dependable and enjoyable young man.

My wife and I traveled to Kenya and Tanzania for 4 nights and 5 days. It was the best safari tour that gave us an experience far beyond our imaginatio
My wife and I went on a five-day, four-night private tour of Kenya and Tanzania.
To sum up, it was without a doubt one of the best experiences of my life.
We were able to visit all three of Africa's most iconic safari destinations: Kenya's Masai Mara, Tanzania's Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Plus, we enjoyed the freedom and indulgence that only a private tour can offer.
On the safari, we were able to see all of the Big 5, and we were able to see scenes I'd only seen in picture books and videos, such as the tense poses of cheetahs before a hunt, hippos living in groups, and crocodiles lurking in the water.
Meeting the Masai people in person and hearing about their culture and lifestyle was also very memorable. It felt more like an experience of experiencing human life than sightseeing.
The travel distances were by no means short, but the driver was always careful and safe every day, including from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro Airport, so I never felt any physical or mental discomfort.
Additionally, at the lodge where we stayed, we were able to spend the night and morning in an environment where the animals were right next to us, making every night and morning an extraordinary experience.
Everything from pre-planning communications to on-site support went extremely smoothly, and they were flexible in responding to our requests, allowing us to leave everything to them with peace of mind.
It was a trip packed with excitement, emotion, and learning, and I'm truly grateful to **Bavuma Wild Quest**.
I can confidently recommend this tour company to anyone who wants a real safari experience and a trip that will create memories of a lifetime.

A very enthusiastic and kind person who truly wishes to give you the best experience!
We were driven around by Steyn, a very kind and enthusiastic young man. It was a birthday from one of us, and we had a private tour. Steyn committed all he had to helping us see the lions. On the way, he gave all sorts of information on the animals and it was clear he loves his job. Of course, we were lucky to see as many animals as we did, but Steyn made it unforgettable!
