Outstanding Service from Start to Finish!
I cannot recommend NextGen Safaris highly enough!
From my very first inquiry, Benald understood exactly what I was looking for and designed an itinerary that perfectly matched my interests. My dream was to experience Uganda's highlights, especially gorilla trekking, chimpanzee trekking, and safaris, while also learning more about Uganda.
Communication was excellent from the beginning. Every email and every question was answered quickly and thoroughly, and I always felt that my trip was in good hands. Benald also provided valuable advice on flights, visas, etc., making the entire planning process easy and stress-free. His website and blog also contained a wealth of valuable information.
What impressed me the most was the level of personal attention, including redesigning the itinerary according to my wishes. My initial planned budget for this trip was lower than the first proposal, and instead of simply saying it wasn't possible, Benald carefully redesigned the itinerary, suggested great alternatives, and found a solution without sacrificing the experiences that mattered to me. Throughout the planning process, he was patient, honest, and incredibly responsive to every question I had.
Then came the time for my trip. Renatus, who is the driver and guide extraordinaire, met me at the airport. Being on the road with him really exceeded my expectations. He provided tons of information about Rwanda and Uganda, their cultures, plants, birds, and wildlife, while answering every question I had. At the same time, he always gave me enough time to simply look around during the drives, enjoy the scenery, and take everything in.
He was excellent at planning and managing every aspect of the trip and also gave some great tips before the gorilla trekking and safaris. He made the whole journey incredibly interesting and fun with his stories and wonderful sense of humor, making conversation feel effortless. Renatus definitely deserves a huge and heartfelt "thank you" from me for everything.
The gorilla and chimpanzee trekking experiences, as well as the safaris, were truly unforgettable and exceeded everything I had hoped for.
I'm also very glad I had the opportunity to experience the Bigodi community and its surroundings on guided walks with Godfrey, a local community guide from Bigodi. He truly is a treasure trove of fascinating facts and stories about the local community, wildlife, plants, and birds. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations and learned so much from him. Spending time with him was one of the unexpected highlights of my trip.
After this trip, I can honestly say that NextGen Safaris truly values its guests and goes the extra mile to make their trips more than worthwhile.
If you're looking for a safari company that listens to your wishes and provides outstanding service from the planning stage to the very last day of your safari, I can wholeheartedly recommend them.
Thank you to everyone involved for making my dream trip become a reality!

humorous, kind and professional
We spent three days in Kruger National Park and had Muzi Sibiya as our safari guide. We couldn’t have asked for a friendlier, more humorous, or more professional guide! Muzi went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience and felt comfortable throughout our stay.
He is a true wildlife lover and incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and the park. Thanks to his sharp eye we were lucky enough to see almost all of the Big Five (unfortunately, no leopard!), as well as many other amazing animals that we would never have spotted on our own.
Overall, it was an incredible experience, and a big part of that was thanks to Muzi. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Kruger National Park.
Thank you Muzi!

Professional, safety-focused, and always attentive to every guest’s needs
I visited the Mara River, the Serengeti , and Ngorongoro . During the trip, I was lucky enough to see the Big Five, wildebeest river crossing, and even watch buffalos chase a lion away. Yes, that’s right—not a lion hunting buffalo, buffalos driving a lion away! Early one morning in the Ngorongoro , we also saw
two black rhinos,which was an unforgettable experience.
Our guide, Johnson, was extremely responsible and professional. Every day, he was ready and waiting for us before departure, and he had all the food and beverages we needed for the day prepared in advance. A big thank you to Johnson and the entire team for making my five-day journey in Tanzania such an unforgettable experience. Thank you! Appreciate.

Excellent time in Uganda
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just finished an epic 6-day safari in Uganda and I’m still buzzing! We saw everything: elephants, hippos in Queen Elizabeth Park, and the absolute highlight—gorillas in Bwindi. Unreal! 🦍
But honestly, the real MVP was our driver-guide, Enock. The guy is a legend! He has eyes like a hawk; he spotted animals I would have never seen. Plus, driving on those roads isn't easy, but he was smooth and made us feel safe the whole time. Enock wasn't just a driver, though—he was fun to talk to, super patient with our questions, and shared so many cool stories about his country. It felt less like a tour and more like a road trip with a knowledgeable friend. If you're booking a safari, do yourself a favor and request Enock. You won't regret it! 🙌🇺🇬
