Kagera was punctual, knowledgeable & welcoming and we visited all the locations on the itinerary
The tour guide's communication was clear on what we were to do for the day & how it was going to be done.
My expectations were exceeded as we visited all locations on the trip's plan and did not feel rushed.
The tour was well planned & we experienced variety in the sights that we saw.
I highly recommend Kagera Safaris for a truly rich Ugandan experience.

I really enjoy!
I'm a Japanese volunteer living in Tanzania. My friends came to see me from Japan in September 2015, so we went to Ngorongoro and Serengeti for safari for 3days. I talked with Charlie about our request in advance and he perfectly organized our safari as we had expected. We enjoyed it so much.
I asked him to give us pick-up and drop-off services between Kilimanjaro airport and Moshi just few days before our safari, but he willingly accepted them. The driver picked us up on time.
In our 3day safari, one tire of our vehicle bursted but our staff (one guide and one chef) worked hard for us. Their work made us relieved so much that we're NOT familiar with outdoor activity.
I advise you to ask your guide about the detail itinerary as he didn't mention to us so much. But he explained everything we asked. And his enough knowledge about nature, wildlife and the national parks surprised us so much. He could find animals so fast!
We three all totally enjoyed the safari with Kilimanjaro Vikings! We strongly recommend you reading my review Kilimanjaro Vikings:-)
Asante sana, Charlie.

Review about Kenya by MARK R
If you are patience and are prepared to get up early in the mornings you will boast you chances of spotting wildlife.

Exceeded my expectations with the variety of wildlife, including jaguar, lions, rhinos, & hippos
I went on two game drives--one in the evening and another early in the morning. If you have a choice I would recommend the morning drive as you are much more likely to see a pride or two. The guides were both humorous and knowledgeable (and well connected with others around the park who had spotted other wildlife) and the transportation comfortable, with a stop for bio-breaks, food, & souvenir shopping midway through the drive. As expected, we encountered many elephants, rhinos, hippos, gazelle, etc. But I was delighted to encounter the lions and to spot two jaguar. An unforgettable and strongly recommended day trip from the strange colony that is Sun City.

Three Days to Remember.
Having visited Tsavo East National Park in 1992 I always vowed to bring my wife to the park and experience the wildlife, scenery and hospitality that the staff at the lodges offer. We were not disappointed all the lodges we stayed in were superb and our guide who we booked with JT Safaris was exceptional.

Best chance at seeing a rhino
The crater is a must-see destination for it's overall beauty and number of animals in such a compact location. But more importantly, it is your best chance at seeing the black rhino in the wild. We saw two of the 20+ rhinos that reside in the crater. Compared to the Serengeti, where we saw none, this is your best chance. Another interesting surprise is the Maasai herding cattle in the crater. It is quite a contrast to see the wild herd animals aside the cattle.

3-day safari in Mikumi NP
We booked a 3-day budget safari to Mikumi NP. We are really satisfied about the Safari and our guide Juma. The only thing we didn't like was that it said that we were staying inside the park but we were not and the last day it was just a drive passing the park on the highway and we didnt have a safari car it was a normal car.
There are no cheetahs or rhinos in the park but we saw all the other cool animals.
Recommended!
