we were booked for a gorilla trek and golden monkey trek. We had to cancel coming to Uganda and Rwanda. We emailed asking for a full refund, sent a couple of follow-ups- no response.

It was an experience that was well worth the price. This is all thanks to the wonderful support from Janet and Peggy. I think they are truly professional guides. Thank you.

Adventure Purist - the name is programme!
As it has been our first safari we really appreciated the experienced organisation and the well founded knowledge of the team. The advantage of long-term insight of all team members in combination with the enthusiasm the guides shared with us was tremendous.
Besides the inspiring game drives the accommodation and the provided meals have been really outstanding.

Trust worthy, efficient and friendly
Booking a safari with any company is always scary. But Elias from Wivi Agency proved that there reliable companies do exist.
The prospect I requested for a two day fly-in safari from Zanzibar, came faster than I could even ask for. It was a beautifully made quota. After confirming, everything was arranged for us. I had nothing to think about, other than paying.
On the day we left for our safari, there was a bank outing in my home country, so that paying for the trip was rendered impossible. The agency let us board the airplane and start the safari on good trust that I would pay eventually. In the night, after the best safari ever, I had everything arranged. Wivi Agency helped me sort everything out.
All in all Wivi Agency are a very very reliable, efficiently working company, with friendly communication. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. If ever I were to go on another safari in Tanzania, I would surely use them as my agency!

Making a dream trip an unforgetable experience
We just returned from the most incredible safari across Uganda and Rwanda, and we can’t stop thinking about it! The tour took us from Rwanda to Uganda, where we had the extraordinary chance to observe mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. But the adventure didn’t end there—we also saw the golden monkeys in Volcanoes National Park, and an extra day took us to Akagera National Park. Every moment was a marvel.
From the very beginning, the tour operator stood out. Mwije was incredibly responsive and always aimed to offer the best value to enrich our experience. Our guide, Kato Precious, was a true gem—always going above and beyond, sharing insights not only about the wildlife but also the rich cultures of both Uganda and Rwanda. As we traveled through towns and villages, he fostered connection—not just with us but with the local communities, making us feel like part of something bigger.
We stayed at beautiful eco-lodges in both countries, which were not only comfortable but really immersed us in nature. Since it was a private tour, it felt personal and special—just my wife and I, with all the attention and care we could have asked for. If you’re dreaming of a safari that blends wildlife, culture, and the warmest hospitality, this is the one. We couldn’t recommend it more!

Professional, Reliable and Perfect for Solo Travelers
As a Brazilian woman traveling solo and currently living in Kinshasa, DRC, I had been searching for the right safari experience since April. My priorities were clear: it had to fit my budget, work with my limited vacation schedule, and include internal flights, as I did not want to spend long hours driving between Nairobi and the Maasai Mara.
Of all the companies I contacted, Norelle's Untamed Escapades stood out from the very beginning. Even before I had fixed travel dates, Sylvia took the time to understand my situation, provide detailed quotations, and advise me on the best travel period according to my professional commitments.
Due to unexpected work-related changes, I had to postpone my vacation by two weeks. There was also uncertainty caused by the Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC, which made planning even more complicated. Throughout the entire process, Sylvia remained patient, professional, flexible, and incredibly supportive. She adjusted the itinerary whenever necessary and ensured that everything was organized perfectly.
The result was an unforgettable 4-day, 3-night safari experience.
My airport and hotel transfers were handled by John, an excellent driver with a great sense of humor who immediately made me feel comfortable and welcome. In the Maasai Mara, my guide was Tom, and if I ever return, I would not want any other guide. His knowledge of the reserve was exceptional. He seemed to know every corner of the park and exactly where to find the wildlife, especially the lions. His professionalism and experience allowed me to enjoy every moment of the safari while feeling completely safe.
For a woman traveling alone, feeling secure and supported by the team around you is essential. Norelle's Untamed Escapades exceeded my expectations in every aspect: communication, flexibility, reliability, value for money, and overall service.
My sincere thanks to Sylvia, John, Tom, and the entire team for making a lifelong dream come true in the heart of the Kenyan savannah.

Great tour round Addis Ababa
Personalised day tour around Addis with Kenaw. He was great -- took me to some amazing food places, as well as the sights I wanted to see (cathedral, National Museum, memorial, Entoto park). The whole tour was tailored to what I wanted to do. Great information and very friendly. Felt like I was being taken around by a friend, not a tour guide! Would recommend to anyone looking for a guide in Addis and Ethiopia in general.
