Great trip
Everything was very well organised and all went to plan
Our driver ,Godfrey, was a big help making sure we got everywhere on time, encouraging us to try local foods,taking us through stunning landscapes and being an excellent safari guide.
Seeing the gorillas up close was an amazing experience but we thoroughly enjoyed the whole tour.
Would highly recommend

Phenomenal! Couldn’t recommend more
We loved every minute of our safari and would recommend it without hesitation. Martin was an outstanding guide and truly made our experience at Pilanesberg exceptional. His knowledge of the bush is remarkable; he could identify animals, birds, and tracks instantly and always had fascinating context ready to share. Beyond his expertise, what stood out was his energy: upbeat, warm, and genuinely enthusiastic without ever feeling rushed. He moved efficiently without sacrificing the moments that mattered, making sure we never missed a thing. We saw all
The animals we were hoping to see! Our transport driver Thabo was also wonderful, punctual and great to ride with. If you have the chance to book this experience, do not hesitate.

Outstanding
In the words of Coldplay, this really was an adventure of a lifetime!! I felt incredibly honoured to get so close to nature and thankful for every day. Uganda is a stunning country with amazing people ready to welcome you with the warmest smile..
All of this was made possible by our incredibly professional tour guide Collie from Kajie Safari- this man is an absolute legend with incredible values, a real gentleman who goes above and beyond to make sure your holiday is everything you want it to be. As a single female travelling, he was incredibly respectful and made sure our safety was a priority. (including reminding me to add sunscreen.!!) booking with a local tour company was a bit of an unknown but definitely the best choice I ever made – it’s obvious to see local guides have a strong presence and are well respected / better established within the lodges and on the Safari treks than other companies to ensure their customers have the best experience– if you are looking to go on a Safari please please please use a local company – Kajie safari was outstanding and cannot recommend enough.
The communication from booking until our airport drop-off home was exceptional - quick speedy responses with honest advice always given.

Amazing 4 days Safari with Julius
We just finished a 4 days / 5 nights private safari journey with Akondo Adventures and our amazing guide Julius. We did Serengeti (2), Tarangire (1) and Ngongoro crater (1) and got to see the big 5.
I was really able to disconnect and enjoy every moments of the safari, since Julius was taking care of everything. No worries (Hakuna Matata) with him which is exactly what I needed.
He was very knowledgeable, safe driving, caring and we couldn't have asked for a better guide for our first safari. He made sure to ask if everything was okay, at every accomodation, at every meal, every spots we visisted, to make our experience the best. We learned so much through Julius experience and passion and he made sure to stop at the very best spot every time for me to get the perfect pictures.
Our car was very comfortable, clean and perfect for animal sighting.
From the company, the journey was great, well-planed even though we were on a tight schedule and planned this trip last minute.
Every accomodations was amazing and every meal (breakfast,lunch and dinner) was excellent which is a big plus for me on a trip.
Also s/o to Ezequiel our driver to and from the airport, who made us feel much welcomed as soon as we stepped in Tanzania, which made our journey great.

Julius was amazing! He taught us so much and helped us see the Big 5!
Our first trip to Tanzania couldn’t have been better thanks to Julius. People like him are what make the Tanzanian tourism experience so special. His knowledge, passion, and determination helped us see the Big Five, and he made every moment unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would recommend him to anyone visiting Tanzania!

one of my dreams came true!
It was an amazing experience unlike anything I had ever experienced before!
We were able to see all of the Big Five, and we are especially grateful for the kindness and care shown by our guide, Evans.
Re: accommodation
much greater than we expected.
We were surprised that was very reasonable tour.
The only thing I wish had been different was having a little more time at Lake Nakuru (although we were still lucky enough to see rhinos!).
Other than that, I was truly impressed by how perfectly everything was organized.
I will definitely recommend this safari tour to my friends (in fact, I already have!).

Exceptional Safari and an Outstanding Guide
Our 6-day private safari with Lion King Adventures exceeded all expectations. Everything was perfectly organized, but what truly made the experience special was our guide, Godbless. He was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife and finding the best viewing opportunities. His passion and dedication made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Godbless is an exceptional guide and a great asset to Lion King Adventures. We highly recommend requesting him specifically.

We had a wonderful experience using Speke Uganda Holidays
Very comfortable and informative and flexible and fun. we would use their services again, if given the opportunity,
Amazing experience! Super well organised!
Amazing experience! Our driver Regy was super knowledgable and made sure we were enjoying the experience the whole time. Would 100% recommend! We got to see the Big 5 and some other animals that are usually hard to spot.
The trip of a lifetime!

Excellent, well-priced.
My family and I had an amazing experience with lost in Africa during our 5 day safari in Tanzania. Our driver and guide Isakari was amazing start to finish, he was knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel comfortable and safe throughout our trip. We learnt a lot of information from him about the land, culture, and animals. He also answered any questions we had. The vehicle was comfortable and the entire safari was well organised. Isakari went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. I would highly recommend this company for a safari in Tanzania, and recommend Isakari as a guide/driver. My family and I will never forget this experience.
