Unforgettable!
Choosing Wild Uganda for our trip through Uganda and Rwanda was honestly one of the best decisions we could have made. Our expectations were high, but they were exceeded in every possible way.
From the organization and equipment to the incredible wildlife sightings, the flexibility, the experiences and the attention to detail, everything was exceptionally well arranged. Every day brought something new and unforgettable, and we were able to experience East Africa in a truly special way.
But there is one thing we would especially like to highlight: the people behind the experience.
We had the incredible pleasure of travelling with our guide Andrew, and if you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, you have absolutely hit the jackpot! Andrew is extremely knowledgeable, highly experienced and incredibly well connected with the rangers and people in the field. He knows the best spots, understands animal behaviour and somehow always seems to know where the magic is about to happen. Thanks to his incredible knowledge, experience and network, we were able to enjoy some truly extraordinary wildlife encounters that we will never forget.
But Andrew is so much more than an outstanding guide. He was professional, attentive and incredibly flexible, always listening to what we wanted and going above and beyond to make every single day special. At the same time, there was never a shortage of laughter and good moments. Spending the days with him made the entire experience feel less like a guided tour and more like travelling with a friend who happens to know everything about the African wilderness. Every single day with Andrew was worth every penny.
If you are dreaming of an authentic, well-organized and unforgettable safari experience in Uganda and Rwanda, we can wholeheartedly recommend Wild Uganda. And if you happen to get Andrew as your guide, consider yourself incredibly lucky.
Thank you, Wild Uganda and Andrew, for an adventure we will carry with us forever.
We came for the wildlife, but we left with unforgettable memories, incredible stories and a true appreciation for Uganda and Rwanda.
Absolutely recommended. 10/10!

Provided exactly what we signed up for
We did a 4 day safari, doing both the gorillas and chimpanzees.
Transfers were smooth and vehicle was comfortable with ample water always provided. Due to permit timings, our tour was actually done in reverse order but that was communicated to us and worked out fine. The accomodation we had was lovely. Communication in the lead up was okay, they told us everything we needed to know but nothing extra.
Shever was our guide / driver and was great! He was very personable and knowledgeable. He was always on time for pickups and gave clear outlines of what to expect for the day. If we were to do this again, we would love to have him.

Amazing and unforgettable experience
We did the 4 day Gorilla and Chimp trek, starting in Rwanda and it was an unforgettable experience. Everything was so well planned and our guide Shiver was very organised, on time and made sure we were having a good time.
The accommodation were a lot better than expected, food was great and the optional activities were really good. There is a lot of driving, but it goes by pretty quickly.
Thanks again, Shever!

Best Trip of my Life
We booked our safari and our trip to Zanzibar through Sunny Safaris because the value for money was right. On the safari, we stayed at a different place every night. The lodges got more and more beautiful with each passing day. In Zanzibar, we spent time on the east coast as well as in Stone Town. I think we saw the whole country in just two weeks. We were always accompanied by incredibly friendly guides. The tour coordinator also checked in on us several times to make sure we were doing well. I would recommend Sunny Safaris to all my friends and family.

Absolutely Magnificent! 4 Day, 3 Night!
We honestly cannot recommend Goldfinch Adventures enough!
From the very beginning, Kelvin was fantastic. The booking process was so easy, communication was excellent and everything was organised perfectly, making the whole experience completely stress-free.
Our guide, Lesaro, was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and patient, and went above and beyond to make our safari so special. We genuinely couldn’t have wished for a better guide and he really helped make the trip unforgettable.
The lodges Kelvin arranged for us were all lovely, in beautiful locations, with fantastic hospitality and great food. Every part of the trip felt so well thought through.
We flew out of Dar es Salaam and back into Zanzibar, and Kelvin even arranged our transport from Zanzibar airport to our villa. That extra touch really showed how much care went into organising our trip from start to finish.
We had the best 4 days and it really was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We will never forget our time in Tanzania and the incredible memories we made.
Thank you so much to Kelvin, Lesaro and everyone at Goldfinch Adventures. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. You won’t be disappointed!
Love, Jess, Kev, Adam and Louise

Always Available and helpful
The tour was absolutely amazing! Our expectations were already high, and they were exceeded in every way.
A big part of this was thanks to our guide, Alex. He is a very respectful, professional, attentive, and kind person. He made us feel extremely comfortable and safe throughout the four days he accompanied us.
The tour itself was very well organised. Even though we only had a few days, we felt that we were able to see, experience, and truly enjoy so much. Everything was well planned, allowing us to make the most of our time.
As for the food, although it was simple, we found it very tasty and comforting, with that lovely homemade feeling that made us feel at home.
Without a doubt, an unforgettable experience that we highly recommend! ❤️

Customized trip perfectly blended safari/gorillas, cultural heritage, & textile/crafts for me
Jophride was great at customizing the trip for my onterests. His communications prior to and during the trip were great. He was organized, efficient, and kind and I couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Umurage if you are planning a trip to Rwanda.

Excellent tour operator
We had such a great time with SpotOn Vacations in Maasai Mara! Anthony was honestly amazing throughout the trip always checking in, keeping us updated and making sure we were comfortable. With our baby
his advice was so helpful and really made things easier. We felt so looked after.
And our guide(John)was the best! So warm and welcoming, and he made the safari so much fun. He explained everything we saw and really made sure we got to see as many animals as possible. You could tell he genuinely wanted us to have the best experience. ❤️
