Interesting for solo travelers
I especially appreciated the swift response they gave to my queries, and the fact that they can cater for solo travellers without extra charges.

seen a lot of animals
It was a great experience. Communication was easy and organisation very comfortable. Jakob the guide did his best to find a lot of animals. Though the bus was a bit old, and the road to Masai Mara is long and difficult.

Rather good experience of a safari with Adventure Vacation safaris
Overall good experience. The administration before our arrival in Uganda was especially good, our contact being really available and helpful.
Our guide was really well aware of fauna and flora in Uganda, and gave us a lot of insight during all of our trip. He was also a really good driver.
The lodges and guest houses chosen for us were great (perfect service, clean and beautiful), with a slight exception for the airport guest house, which needs renewal.
We had a lot of problems with the dollars we brought, there were under 2003 and not accepted in Uganda, which was never told to us before our departure. Make sure to warn peole arriving from the outside to avoid problems with payment.
The vehicle for the safari was changed without notice the day of our arrival, which was not great, and there was nothing much we could do about it.
We booked a tailored safari for 2, a couple; when we had to do boat cruises with large family groups, that was a bit annoying.
But we definitely had a great time.
Many thanks !

safari is a home away from home
while in Uganda, the truth about it being the pearl of Africa is reflected in its wild life, weather ,scenery among other things.
Uganda has got all kinds of delicious food stuffs that can sustain different tourists with different backgrounds allover the world, in short, Uganda is a home away from home

Day Trip to Chobe National Park
Chobe National Park is worth visiting only for a day if you do not have time for longer visit. It is easy to access and reach from Zambia and Zimbabwe if you happen to spend time either of these countries. You can find real bushes and secluded areas from Botswana, but Chobe is easy to reach and services are great to support your visit. We visited there on May, 2016 and trip was organized by a local travel agency in Zambia. We were a group of 5 people from Zambia and we joined another group from Zimbabwe (6 people). The morning was spend on the river with the guide who's experience and knowledge were excellent to support a very informative drive. We had coffee, cookies and soft drinks onboard, and we saw a lot of animals in the water and on the banks. There were hippos, elephants, crocodiles, lizards and lot of different kind of birds and the scenery itself was exactly the same you can find from public websites. After the pleasant boat ride, we had a lunch break with decent food in one of the lodges were we had an opportunity to fresh up and rest. Afternoon was spent on a game drive and then we had only a group of 5 in the same car. We basically drove the marked roads in the area and again the guide was excellent. We were able to spot a lot of animals and in this area, animals are quite used to vehicles so they are not running away as soon as you spot them. If you get overwhelmed about the scenery on the river, the view from here to the river is even more spectacular with the number of elephants, hippos, giraffes and other animals you could see in the wide area. The highlight of the visit was when we spotted lions - our guide was able to drive very close and that was one of the best experiences on our three week's trip.
When visiting Chobe like this, keep in mind that it is a public park with many other visitors in the same area and there are self-driving tourists, as well. Definitely you find more bush vibe from private parks but for the day trip this was value for the money.
Very good service from Shondre
Shondre was helpful in every sense and send me all required maps etc. on short notice.
I just think that the tour operators must go and stay in each of those camps and lodges to have first hand experience. Like all of Goverment run places the park and the camps we visited were really way below standard.
The Nkambeni Tented lodge do have lovely food and dinner buffets. But every night at 2.00'and 5.00"there is trains running past the camp. The noise can wake up the dead.

Short Safari to Masai Mara
The trip was amazing and Nakupendakenya Safaris and Tours met and exceeded my expectations considering I decided and confirmed this trip just two days before my projected travel dates.
Day 1: Everything was as promised, there was a guide (Richard) waiting to collect me at the airport. We drove from Nairobi to Masai Mara. Richard was very good, providing a lot information about the country, people, stopping at good cafes, making sure I got good photos, etc.
When we reached the reserve Richard was very good at making sure there where good viewing and photo opportunities during the game drive to the lodge. Saw lions (on a kill), zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, elephant and more.
Day 2: All day game drive, from the lodge (Neekorok) to the Mara river and back. Considering this is the quiet time before the annual migration and animals are spread out Richard was great in making sure that I saw everything I possibly could.
Day 3: Morning (9am) flight back to Nairobi. Short drive around before flight and again plenty of animals seen.
In summary I had a great experience and got good value for money considering the short notice I gave for arranging the trip.
