Trustfull and fully reccomended.
He arranged all our tour in a matter of hours. We were improvising when we get to JRO and he was really kind to us. Also I made a mistake in the payment and he managed to refund it perfectly well.
Amazing experience with the guide Idi and Myriam our cooker. We did a low budget safari and was above our expectations for sure.
Thanks to all the team!!!

Unique life experience
Viatu facilitated a unique life experience for us. The accommodations and activities provided were excellent and tailored to our request. We communicated on details before and throughout the trip. Namibia will always be remembered as a top adventure and treasured memory. We saw the big five, met wonderful people, and were pampered by staff. Special thanks to Mardi for her knowledge and professionalism!
Outstanding
We have recently finished seven days visiting the gorillas & golden monkeys in the Kisoro area of Uganda. The whole trip met our needs perfectly. I struggle to think of anything that Ernest at Wild Uganda or our fantastic driver Kasim could have done to have improved it. Ernest was flexible in terms of what we wanted to see and do. Kasim was punctual, attentive, good company and an excellent driver on some pretty appalling roads. I have already recommended Wild Uganda to a good friend and would do so to others without hesitation

Thank you for the amazing safari experience
Thank you to Singe Tours and Travel for a wonderful safari experience. We had a great time in Masai Mara and truly appreciated the excellent service your team provided throughout the trip.
A special thank-you to our guide, George, who was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and made the safari even more memorable for us. We were very lucky to witness incredible game sightings, and George’s guidance helped us fully enjoy and understand the experience.
Thank you again for organizing such a meaningful and enjoyable trip. We are very grateful and would highly recommend Singe Travel to anyone looking for a memorable safari experience.

Poor value and doesn't take responsibility for anything
Our guide to the Victoria falls area was of poor quality in general. She barely provided any guiding and just drove us around. One thing that really stuck out to me was when we pre booked dinner at the Lookout Cafe through the company. Only after we got there we realized they booked us after Sunset when it was pitch black outside with no visible view!
The places is called the Lookout Cafe, the whole point is to eat with a view. The brochure they gave us focused on the view. We were very much looking forward to it. There was not enough time to rebook us at any other point during our trip. The response we got was laughable. They didn't take any responsibility and tried to blame us for not looking up the sunset time ahead!? As a tour organizer it is your basic responsibility to check these things when you make a booking on behalf of a client. Then they just said the local guide booked it and didn't realize. Again, as the organizer it is your sole responsibility to make sure things are booked appropriately. Darren offered absolutely no resolution and got snarky when we brought it up.

Excellent value, excellent service from Mega Wild Safaris
For your East African safaris, my family and I highly recommend the excellent value and attentive service provided by Mega Wild Safaris based in Kampala, Uganda. Anne Bright of Mega Wild offered remarkable support in the planning stages, fine-tuning the itinerary to ensure our many requirements were met. During the safaris she was always available to assist with any minor issues that arose. Thank you Anne!
Through Mega Wild, we booked three private safaris totaling 5 weeks to take us to game parks in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The Kenyan and Tanzanian segments were operated by local associates of Mega Wild and timed to coincide with the Great Migration in the Serengeti and Masai Mara. On East Africa cross-border safaris you are usually handed over to a local operator in each country. All our border transfers went very smoothly aided by company reps on both sides of the border – much easier than had we tried to cross on our own.
The first safari with our two adult children started in Nairobi and took us to Tsavo East and West National Parks, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Amboseli National Park. Our Kenyan guide-driver, David, was a delight and took great care of us. The wildlife viewing was superb, especially the big tuskers, and the accommodation top-notch. In Tanzania, we visited the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area and Serengeti NP (staying in different sectors of the park over five nights). Our days on safari in Kenya and Tanzania were spent in excellent, well-equipped and comfy Toyota Land Cruiser pop-up-roof safari vehicles. The days began after the crack of dawn and ended 11 hours later before dusk, which was exactly how we wanted them: filled to the max. Sightings were abundant and lavish, informed by our trained, experienced guide-drivers who tended to our every need and ensured our safety, made us feel at ease from the get-go and knew how and when to get things done so we never had to fret about doing a thing. From the Serengeti, we were seamlessly deposited at the Seronera Airstrip for our flight to Zanzibar (for a few days of beachside relaxation at the excellent My Blue Hotel).
Our second safari for my wife and I, included Masai Mara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire NP. It was as excellent as our first.
Needless to say, we saw an incredible amount and variety of wildlife, including not only the Big 5, but 5 crossings of the wildebeest over the Mara River over two days. The sheer richness of the Serengeti/Maasai Mara ecosystem has to be seen to be believed and seeing it with expert guide-drivers like those furnished by Mega Wild associates made for an unforgettable and richly-rewarding experience.
Our guide-drivers, David and Julius in Kenya, and Martin and Jackson in Tanzania, were simply delightful -- mature, friendly, reliable, respectful, knowledgeable, safety-conscious, always on time and both took impeccable care of us. Martin, always smiling, doted over us and the kids, and Jackson summed it up perfectly when we first crossed into Serengeti NP and he said: "Welcome to my office!" We entrusted ourselves fully into their most capable hands.
The accommodation, both tented and lodge-based, was always comfortable and, at times, even luxurious. The food, though sometimes repetitious in its buffet offerings, was nonetheless hearty and nourishing. Everything ran smoothly and like clockwork.
Our third safari in Uganda, wholly operated by Mega Wild, started and ended in Entebbe. It took us to Queen Elizabeth NP, Kibale NP for chimpanzee tracking, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest NP for the unforgettable experience of mountain gorilla tracking and Lake Mburo NP. We highly recommend friendly Uganda for primate viewing, wildlife viewing and bird watching in a more laid-back environment than the more commercialized safaris in Kenya and Tanzania.
We had the pleasure of meeting the children of Olives’ Hope orphanage in Bigodi to whom Mega Wild donated 10% of our safari cost. Our driver, James, performed heroic measures to help me retrieve a cellphone that fell into a latrine pit – but that’s another story! A small scheduling glitch in Bwindi was deftly handled by Anne – it was an advantage to have a local operator that could fix things quickly.
In short, you need not look any further than Mega Wild Safaris for your next safari in East Africa, we highly recommend them.

We loved our tour and guide!
This was an excellent tour with a wonderful guide. Martin was a sweet, knowledgeable, funny, and extremely capable guide. We felt safe, and like we got the best of every single experience. Martin went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was once in a lifetime.
Aaron, the company owner, was wonderful to work with as we planned and changed the itinerary in the months in the lead of to our trip. Highly recommend this company! Martin drives an awesome car that we lovingly came to call avocado.

Amazing Safari Experience
I can not recommend this safari enough, it was the most incredible experience ever!! Me and 4 of my friends did a three day safari in Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Tarangire National Park and it was amazing. Our driver was incredible and was super knowledgeable, he taught us so much. This company is awesome, we got to customize our own trip and they arranged everything we wanted to do exactly how we wanted (what days we wanted to go where and times). The accommodation is amazing as well it’s in a quiet area, but only a few minute walk away was lots of market shops which was awesome. Another thing is the FOOD! The food on the safari was probably the best food I had my entire trip being in Tanzania, and I was there for over a month. The chef is incredible, and you get lunch during the safari as well. This was our first safari and i felt so fulfilled by the end, we saw so many animals, and even saw the big 5! Our driver, Ally, went out of his way to make our time amazing, even going off road to get us better views of the animals, while still keeping enough distance to not disrupt them. This safari was WAY better than I had expected and I would do it again 1000%. We also had a photographer on the first day, Omary, who was awesome and gave us all the pictures afterwards free of charge. Thank you so much for such an incredible experience, we will remember it forever.
