An Exceptional Safari Experience
We have just completed an incredible 5-day safari in Uganda with Likyadi Adventures, and I would like to share our experience because it truly deserves to be highlighted.
First and foremost, I would like to personally thank Sam, our private driver-guide, who played a huge part in making this trip so special. Sam is a truly wonderful person: smiling, professional, punctual, knowledgeable, extremely pleasant, and an excellent driver. We spent a lot of time together during the long drives, lunches, dinners, and throughout the trip, and we had some great conversations. His knowledge of Uganda, kindness, professionalism, and positive attitude made a real difference. Thank you, Sam, for your excellent company throughout these five days!
As for Likyadi Adventures, the agency fully honored its commitments. The logistics were extremely well organized, everything was handled smoothly, and the overall quality of the service went far beyond our expectations.
The lodges we stayed in were also excellent: Mpogo Safari Lodge, Pumba Safari Cottages, Rushaga Gorilla Lodge, and Chimpanzee Forest Lodge. We received very high-quality service, stayed in comfortable rooms with beautiful views, and enjoyed excellent food throughout the trip. We were truly spoiled with delicious meals and wonderful hospitality.
But of course, the highlights were the extraordinary wildlife experiences. Meeting the mountain gorillas and chimpanzees was absolutely unforgettable. These are once-in-a-lifetime experiences that will remain engraved in our memories forever.
I would also like to highlight something that was particularly important to us and played a major role in our decision to choose this agency: their transparency and honesty.
Before booking, I contacted several safari agencies in Uganda. Likyadi Adventures was the only agency that clearly informed me that, as a Tunisian citizen and therefore an African citizen, I was eligible to pay USD 500 for the gorilla trekking permit instead of USD 800. I really appreciated this transparency and honesty. They could easily have kept this information to themselves, but they chose to inform me about it. This was one of the main reasons why I decided to book with them, and today, I have absolutely no regrets.
This was my second safari in Africa, after previously experiencing a safari in Tanzania, and I can honestly say that the overall quality of this Ugandan safari was far superior to our previous experience in Tanzania.
As a frequent traveler who has visited more than 110 countries, I have had the opportunity to experience many different destinations, hotels, tours, and travel companies, and I am quite demanding when it comes to the quality of a trip. I can therefore highly recommend Likyadi Adventures without hesitation.
If you are considering a safari in Uganda, I strongly encourage you to go with them. You will receive excellent organization, transparency, high-quality accommodation, great food, professional service, and, above all, an unforgettable experience.
A huge thank you to Sam and the entire Likyadi Adventures team for making this journey so memorable. We will definitely come back to you for our future adventures, especially for Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Thank you, Sam, and thank you Likyadi Adventures. We will definitely be back!

The Best Three Days of Our Lives – An Unforgettable Safari!
Me and my boyfriend went on a three-day safari, and it was honestly one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. Everything was amazing from start to finish, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Suricata Safaris.
Our driver and guide, Elias, was absolutely fantastic. He was incredible throughout the entire safari and made the experience even more special. We got to see and experience so much, creating memories that we will cherish forever. Our chef also did an amazing job preparing delicious meals throughout the trip.
We stayed in tents, which was a great experience and much easier and more comfortable than we expected. Everything ran smoothly, and we have absolutely nothing to complain about.
Communication with Suricata Safaris was also excellent. They were always quick to respond, incredibly friendly, and happy to answer all our questions before the trip.
We would highly recommend Suricata Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. These truly were the best three days of our lives, and we are so grateful for this unforgettable experience!

One of the best experience of my life
One of the best experience of my life for sure! Elias and Amos were very experienced and knowledgeable guides, always full of information about the ambient, animals and also the people (Masai).
We always felt safe in every aspect of the safari (we slept also in two different opened campsite, very exciting!)
I could write a lot more about everything that happened during the safari (animals, landscapes etc..) but this is something that you have to live by yourself, words could just give you a hint!
Totally worth it!!!!

We had the most amazing time on our safari with Kush! 🐘🦁 He was an absolutely brilliant driver and guide, so knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He made the whole experience so special and helped us make memories we’ll never forget. We couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience. We would highly recommend Kush to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience in the Maasai Mara!

I had an amazing safari with JungleRoam Safaris! We saw so many animals, including lions, cheetahs with their cubs and a leopard—it was an unforgettable experience. Kush was a friendly and knowledgeable guide and made the trip even more enjoyable. I’d happily recommend JungleRoam Safaris and Kush to anyone planning a safari in Kenya!

I got the best and amazing experience
I was able to see a lot of animals, including the Big 5. The driver's cooperation and technique are excellent. I think it depends on the timing, but it was a time when there were many babies

Michael is an outstanding tour operator who handled perfectly every detail of our trip
We had such an incredible honeymoon, fully managed by Michael! We wanted to leave this positive review so other people don’t hesitate to choose him for their trips in Kenya.
He made a custom plan for us with intimate, private lodges inside the parks that had amazing views of the animals - he truly knows all the specifics of different lodges. First of all, we chose Michael for his positive attitude and fun, easygoing personality. On top of that, he proved to be super responsible. We were met at the airport, picked up on time everywhere, all our lodge reservations were seamless, and the lodges even prepared special honeymoon surprises for us.
His safari vehicle was super comfortable and clean, and he is a very safe driver, which made us feel totally relaxed the whole time. As a guide, Michael is amazing - he always positioned us so we were as close to the animals as possible to get the best views! (while staying respectful to the animals) He is fast to reach and communicates really well with other drivers so we were efficient and saw so much wildlife.
we also want to list highlights of our safari:
* A super big family of elephants crossing the road, protecting their tiny babies (it was so cute!).
* Prides of lions hunting in the late afternoon, with big male lions and many cuddly cubs.
* Cheetahs hunting and eating - it was epic!
* The views from Sopa Lodge and Enkakenia Mara Camp, where hippos went right out of the river in front of our balcony, zebras and giraffes walked around, and we could see hippo pools and huge crocodiles right from our room
The journey felt very personalized. We recommend Michael from the bottom of our hearts!

Great safari tour and operator!
Flawless organization and an unforgettable experience; our guide, Papa John, deserves credit for fostering a cohesive group. He went beyond merely leading the way, sharing insights into the animals—their characteristics and their lives in the Masai Mara.

Exciting and adventurous tour
Tour organised in detail and without any inconvenience. I found Papa John very cosy, prepared always available.
The days spent were adventurous and exciting, in search of the most dangerous and hidden animals.
I thank and highly recommend the guide Pope John
