Well done organized
James Gichina really was the best driver. He was 100 per cent in control of the Jeep, and whenever an animal was spotted, he’d take any detour, even along the most difficult tracks, to get us as close to it as possible. I don’t know how he managed it, but no matter how many Jeeps were already there, he always got us to the front of the queue. He also turned the long journeys to and from Nairobi into an experience: whilst aiming to reach our destination as quickly as possible, he always kept the car under control. We felt safe at all times. You can tell he has years of experience and knows exactly what he’s doing. He told us everything we wanted to know about the animals, without giving us any unnecessary information. Thanks to him, we saw the Big 5!

Bush Craft Safari was incredibly reliable and organized, and provided an unforgettable experience!
We went on a 7-day safari with Bush Craft Safaris, with Mark as our main guide, and Joe as a guide in training and main driver. The safari itinerary included Rhino trekking, visits to Murchinson Falls National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park with game drives and boat tours, Chimpanzee trekking, Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and a stay at Lake Bunyonyi, which we thought was an incredible value for the money we paid. The organization and communication before our trip with the operator through Innocent, and our guide Mark, was very reliable and helpful.
This being our first time in Uganda and East Africa, this trip has been unbelievably beautiful, so diverse and exciting, and truly an unforgettable experience, where we really felt like we got to know the great diversity and beauty of the country. Especially the nature and the game drives in Murchinson Falls National Park, where we saw the big 5 and so many additional animals in only two days, as well as the Gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi, where such special highlights of this trip.
Mark was incredibly knowledgeable about the culture and nature of Uganda, sharing countless facts and stories about the country, the different areas we visited, and the local people and traditions. We were also so lucky to have Joe joining this trip as part of his training to become a guide, and were grateful for his incredibly skillful driving through the oftentimes challenging terrain of the country. Being at the end of his training, Joe also had so much knowledge about the country and its nature to share with us. Mark and Joe were also incredible at spotting and tracking down animals during game drives, allowing us to see a number of lions and a leopard during our first two days, as well as countless other animals (Elephants, Giraffes, Buffalos, Hippos, various Antelopes, numerous bird species including the Ugandan Cranes, …).
Mark and Joe also organized various additional activities for us, including a visit to the Equator, tea picking, traditional crafts, and meetings with local communities, which allowed us to learn more about local traditions, customs, and histories. To us, this was a very important element of getting to know the country, especially the opportunity to learn about the history of Bwindi National Park, which included the eviction and displacement of the indigenous communities that originally inhabited the forest, which to this day puts the communities in very precarious circumstances. We really appreciated the possibility to visit these local communities and receive a tour with the Uganda Gifted Children Foundation after visiting Bwindi to learn more about this history and current situation, as well as ways to support them.
Mark was incredibly reliable and organized, always on time, and very friendly, helpful, and forthcoming, making sure we always had what we needed and accommodated for all of our interests and wishes along the journey. He created a great balance of time spent together and time we had alone during meals and activities. Joe was incredibly genuine, friendly, and so funny, and we shared countless great conversations and laughs with him. We are super excited for him to finish his training and become a guide, as he has all the skills and knowledge necessary and more!
We truly appreciate the week spent together and the chance to learn so much from Mark and Joe!

Spectacular and diverse Safari covering Uganda's finest
To everyone doubting were to book a safari in Uganda, I would highly recommend Bush Craft Safaris. They helped us make the most of our 7-day trip through Uganda, which covered stunning natural sights, kind people along the way and diverse ways of discovering the country (i.a. by game drives, boat tours, and trekking). From the first moment onwards, Innocent took into account our preferences in planning the tour. The safari itself went smooth and according to plan, thanks to our great guides Mark and Joe. They displayed their vast knowledge about the areas we visited, were open to talk about their own experiences and complemented each other well. Mark excelled in planning activities in advance, spotting animals from far away and utilising his network to improve our experience. Joe is an incredibly steady driver, has a great sense of humour and is attentive in recognising what we needed in specific moments. Overall, this experience was unforgettable and we are grateful for having had this great team to guide us!

Perfect
Our 4-day safari with Ndutu Green Explorers was absolutely perfect from start to finish. We visited three different national parks and were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five – a truly breathtaking and unforgettable experience.
Thanks to our guides, John and Alex, we felt comfortable and well looked after throughout the entire safari. They were a perfectly coordinated team and made the whole experience even more special.
Our German-speaking guide, Alex, taught us so much about African nature, the different animal species and life in the national parks. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about his work. We would recommend him without hesitation and would definitely choose him again for another safari. A huge compliment to Alex!
The shuttle transfer to our hotel in Zanzibar also went smoothly, thanks to the very friendly Ali.
Overall, it was a fantastic team and an unforgettable safari experience. We would book another safari with Ndutu Green Explorers anytime and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience!

safari 7day 6nights on 21th August from China two people
We initially selected a few options on the website, and since Peter was the first to reply, we added each other on WeChat to stay in touch. Peter was very patient in communicating with me about the price, hotel, and all the itinerary details, and the price was also very reasonable. When we arrived in Kenya, he and the guide came to pick us up. All the itinerary was exactly as we had discussed before, and the hotel was also booked very well. I want to give a special commendation to our guide Lonic, who is very professional and experienced, allowing us to see everything we wanted to see. The safari in Kenya is really worth going to, and if I have the opportunity, I plan to come back next year.

Unforgettable Kenya Safari
Amazing 7-day safari experience! The itinerary was well-planned and covered all the highlights – Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, and Lake Nakuru. We saw the Big Five and the scenery was breathtaking.
The accommodations were excellent, especially Sarova Mara Game Camp and Amboseli Serena Lodge – great service, good food, and comfortable rooms.
Our guide/driver Mike was professional and knowledgeable, making sure we got the best wildlife views.
Highly recommend Antonio Safaris for anyone looking for a memorable Kenya safari. Thank you for an unforgettable trip!

An unforgettable safari made special by our amazing guide David
We had an incredible safari as a group of four, and a huge part of what made the experience so special was our guide, David. He is an exceptional person and an outstanding guide. His German is incredibly fluent, and he was friendly, funny, intelligent and extremely knowledgeable.
What impressed us most was his genuine passion for nature and for what he does. You could truly feel how much he loves the wildlife and his work. He shared his knowledge with us with so much enthusiasm, while always making the safari relaxed and enjoyable.
David turned an already wonderful safari into a truly unforgettable experience. We are very grateful for the amazing memories we made and, above all, for having had the chance to meet such a wonderful person. We would absolutely recommend Nkolo Tours & Safaris — especially with David as your guide!

Excellent experience
We did a one day Safari from Zanzibar to Mikumi National Park and had a great time. We saw a lot of animals from up close and Isaiah, our guide, always made sure we could get great pictures.
Helena was super helpful with the booking process, any question I had was answered within a few minutes.
We would definitely do it again!

The best Tour organizer
We had an absolutely amazing safari with Josh Dreamland Safari and could not have been happier with the experience. From the organisation to the accommodations, everything was very well planned and ran smoothly throughout our six-day private safari.
A special highlight was our guide, Gifty. He was extremely friendly, calm, patient, and always solution-oriented. His knowledge of the wildlife was excellent—not only about the animals themselves, but also about where to find them. Thanks to his experience and persistence, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, along with countless other animals.
What impressed us most was his flexibility. The Northern Serengeti and the river crossing were not originally part of our planned itinerary, which focused on the central Serengeti before continuing toward Ngorongoro. When we told Gifty that we really wanted to experience the famous wildebeest and Zebra river crossing, he went out of his way to make it possible. He took us all the way to the Northern Serengeti, and we were fortunate enough to witness the river crossing and a hunting of Zebra by a crocodile—an incredible experience and definitely one of the highlights of our entire trip.
The accommodations were also excellent, and we were very happy with the overall organisation and service. Everything felt well coordinated, while at the same time there was enough flexibility to adapt the safari to what we wanted to see.
We returned from the safari with incredible memories, amazing wildlife encounters, and a real appreciation for Tanzania. A huge thank you to Gifty and the whole Josh Dreamland Safari team. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!
