A hidden gem waiting to be discovered.
First off wow. With so many choices for tours I was having trouble deciding on one at first but let me say I couldn’t be more happy I chose Ecolife tours. The price compared to other safari booking is unbeatable, but the quality of service and hospitality felt just as good if not better than the competition. Our guide Domie was the best. He got us up close and personal with the animals but never made us fear for our safety. His skills as a driver and guide were top notch. He really brought the tour to life with his commentary and knowledge of the animals and area. He got us where we needed to be on time, safely. If you are hesitant to book this tour, this is your sign to DO IT! You will not be disappointed.

Quickly attentive to last minute changes
My 4 day tour to Kruger was cancelled the day before because the Limpopo River flooded. This wonderful company quickly changed my reservation to Pilanesberg NP at the beautiful Kwa Maratine Lodge. They also changed my flight to go instead to Johannesburg and supplied a good driver for the 2.5 hour return transfer. All these arrangements were completed in 4 hours. I could not fault it and would definitely travel with them again. They kept in touch all through via WhatsApp.

Amazing experience
We had an amazing time on our safari. We did a 5 day safari and we got to see 4 different parks. Our guide who was nicknamed “six” was so knowledgeable and such an incredible guide. We got to see every animal we wanted to from lions, cheetahs, hippos, flamingos, guarded, elephants, zebras, leopards. All of the accommodations booked for us were great and all of the travel to and from the airport was so smooth.

Breathtaking
Uganda truly is The Pearl of Africa! We chose Kajie Safaris to be our tour company and trust me they didn’t disappoint! They were fantastic!
I’ve travelled to many countries and I have to say Uganda was truly breathtaking. It was green, lush, mountainous and beautiful. The people were so kind and giving. They are all about community and I loved that. Every day was about a new adventure and something neat to see. The mountain gorillas was definitely our highlight! It was an incredible experience.
The accommodations were incredible and the service we received was second to none. The Ugandan people couldn’t do enough for us.
I would tell everyone to go to Uganda, you will be so amazed with its beauty!

An Unforgettable Safari, Mixed Feelings About the Islands
Our trip to Tanzania was truly amazing. The safari exceeded all our expectations — we saw an incredible number of animals, felt completely safe at all times, and it was an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives. It was absolutely perfect, and I would return for the safari without hesitation.
After the safari, we traveled to Zanzibar and Pemba. While the islands are naturally beautiful and we still had a lovely time, the experience was less relaxing than expected. We were constantly approached every couple of minutes by people trying to sell something or asking for money, which became quite overwhelming. Additionally, many non-touristic beaches were unfortunately full of trash. We noticed that locals often throw garbage along the roads and in nature, which was disappointing.
Overall, the safari part of the trip was flawless and something I would gladly repeat, but next time I would choose a different beach destination.
