Excellent and highly recommended
We had a brilliant trip with Velvet Savannah Safaris. Communication was great before the trip - every question was answered professionally and lots of helpful tips were given. We loved spending time with our guide, George. He was incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the animals and the areas we visited. We learnt so much and saw all the big 5 several times. On our trip, we went to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboselli. Everywhere we went, we had something new and beautiful to see, ranging from multiple lion prides, illusive leapards, or herds of elephants. We highly recommend this once-in-a lifetime trip with Velvet Savannah Safaris.

Couldn't have asked for better, Emille is a wonderful host, knowledgable and very friendly
Just finished an amazing 10 day tour with Emille and Lion Safaris. Communication was excellent and the tour surpassed our expectations. We did Kigali, Nyungwe NP, Volcanoes NP and Akagera NP. We stayed in amazing places, ate delicious foods, blended with the local people and saw the most amazing and beautiful scenery. We have fallen in love with Rwanda. The tour was excellent value and we loved that we chose a local company but importantly Emille has such a passion for his country, you simply couldnt get the same experience from a self drive. We were so sad to leave and would highly recommend Lion Safaris for your adventure to Rwanda. Emille is an experienced guide from all the parks which really gave us a perspective and insight you couldnt get anywhere else

We had the time of our lives!!!
For our 15-person family trip around Uganda, Ivan and his team curated an incredible journey filled with too many countless “woooooowwwws” and ululations! At each stop which included Murchison Falls/Sambiya Lodge; Kyaninga Lodge; Queen Elizabeth/Mweya/Kazinga Channel, Unzip Africa literally unzipped parts of these places that made them all the more memorable.
The food was incredible - gosh, I will still be singing about that beef steak at Kyaninga Lodge in my old age! My son still talks about Sambiya Lodge’s food, playground and swimming pool! Ivan also paid attention to our family needs - I have two little ones and he made sure that they got all they needed, and even personally got them their favorite snacks like vanilla milk! We got family cottages which my babies loved!
I have to say this about Ivan - he really goes ABOVE AND BEYOND! We were celebrating my mum’s 50th birthday and my husband’s birthday and he surprised us with cakes for both! Each of them felt very special!
The drivers were all wonderful and kind - a special shout out to Alex who drove the car I was in! 🙌🏾 He stopped every time we had an odd request (which can be quite frequent when traveling with little kids!😅)

Experience driver for any terrain is key to a safe safari experience!
Our driver was very experienced he knew everyone and the ways around the roads and parks. We had a safe driving experience with Penda who has 16 years experience as a guide. You can ask him anything and he will have your answers but not too chatty at the same time which we appreciated during our long rides. Sometimes you just want to pass out and sleep or watch your shows with the headphones on right?
Penda actively looked for animals through the game drives. He never pushed to finish, rather the opposite. Most of the time we told him we can finish. He just wanted to make sure we saw a lot each day! He has killer eye sights too so follow what he says he sees and you’ll see the furthest thing. You can rely on him in everything from knowing the directions of the parks, knowledge of the animals, to how to maneuver the roads and keeping us and the car safe as we saw a lot of other Safari jeeps break down on the sides of the roads. He seems extremely helpful to others as well which shows the close knit good network of guides in this Safari community, always helping each other! I wasn’t worried at all because I knew others would help us too if our car broke down. We finished our 4 days in one piece and he accommodated us to the airport which we had a tight schedule to catch and safely arriving and sending us off.
From communication to then settling with the lodging that I wanted in the end, there must have been tons of adjustments and revisions the team had to do for me. I appreciate it very much! Thank you Mariam and her team and everyone who had the biggest smiles to greet us on Xmas day! Very hardworking team.
Even though we had previous Safari experiences in other African countries, this was an unforgettable experience. Simbaland made a lot of flexibility for us and Penda made us a pleasant journey. Thank you and highly recommend !

Very professional, very good communication, perfect safari experience. We loved everything!
We were very satisfied with our safari. All communication was very prompt and professional. Thank you, Victor! Our driver Paul, with whom we spent the whole week, did his best to find all the animals we wanted to see. In fact, we saw more animals than we could have hoped for. Paul shared fascinating facts about the animals. Paul is a very experienced and good driver, we felt very safe at all times. Thank you very much, Paul, for providing our family with a great experience. If you are looking for a suitable safari company, Leopard Orchid Safaris is a very good choice.

Brilliant Operators
This was an amazing couple of days. After being picked up in Kigali by Scodius early on day 1 we travelled to tbe Volcanoes National Park for a trip in to see the Golden Monkeys. We then traveled to Uganda and day 2 was all about seeing gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
Both days were brilliant and Scodius (driver/ organiser) was just brilliant. I can't wait to get back to experience more and will be using this company again and requesting Scodius.

Reliable - Familial - Transparent
Six and Seven Tours provided me with an unforgettable safari experience. The agency is punctual, reliable, transparent in its quotations, and exceptionally dedicated. The guide caters to all individual needs and impresses with his expertise. Coupled with a top photographer, you are accompanied by a great team. I really recommend this agency 100% :-).
