Very accomodative since I had moved with kids, they were punctual and organized.
Our journey to Murchison falls was wonderful, it was our first time and we traveled as a family. Climax Safaris were accommodative of us and the kids, stopped whenever we requested to for the bathroom stops. They were punctual and very organized with snacks too. I enjoyed traveling with them and I will be using them again on my next travels within Uganda.

Review about Lake Manyara National Park by Patti
This park was smaller than the others but was still very nice and interesting.

Flexible, easy, good communication
We took Viega expeditions because they were flexible in the planning, reacting quickly, good in communication and price competitive. Everything well went before, during and after our trip. Small agency with a friendly approach. Special thanks to our driver: Charles

It was a very interesting experience with a lot of surprising things. It was amazing!
Regarding the safari It has been such a wonderful way to travel. We have enjoyed every minute going around the national parks hotels and tent camps. Our driver Charles was a very good leader who has welcomed us to his country. He has tried his best to show us all the animals and get us on time for everything. The one thing we need to note is that we were told he was going to speak spanish and the tour has been in english with that language barrier being a struggle for us.

Flexible and accommodating guide
Brian was very helpful in planning our trip to Hwange, adjusting the agenda and finding a great lodge for us near the park that was within our budget. The team at Miombo Safari Lodge, and our driver Tox, were fantastic. The rooms were beautiful and the views of the elephants every night were such a special treat. Thank you Brian for your help arranging things for us!

An unforgettable safari through unique landscapes and thoughtful organization
We took part in a 4-day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Each park offered something special, but the Ngorongoro Crater stood out as truly unique — breathtaking landscapes and an incredible concentration of wildlife in such a compact area.
The organization by Kiliclimb was excellent from the very beginning. The staff followed us closely, adapting the program to our requests and modifying details with great flexibility. The payment process was also simple and transparent, with no excessive upfront deposits required, which we really appreciated.
Throughout the safari, their attention to our well-being was constant, and we always felt supported and in good hands.
One suggestion for improvement: make sure to clearly confirm all trip details with clients in advance, especially when it comes to accommodation, to avoid any misunderstandings.
Overall, we absolutely recommend this tour: it’s a deep immersion into African nature, organized by a professional, flexible, and caring team.

We thought our guide did an outstanding job with what he had to work with.
When we reached out to Big Apes Africa - the itinerary sent over was very professional-like. However, it was never communicated with us that we needed our e-visa before arriving to the airport. With hours to spare and not enough time - we reached out to say we needed to cancel our booking and then, miraculously for an additional charge, we got an expedited visa.
With that out of the way, we loved the chimpanzee and gorilla trekking experiences. We do want to make others aware that the drive times were not communicated clearly and we spent 7-9 hours traveling each of our 4 days.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were provided, however, one of the day days our driver got lost (no GPS) and we arrived to our lodge at 10 PM and chose to skip dinner. All in all, we would recommend, but would be interested to see what a longer experience.

Great 8-day Safari in Kenya!
We had a great time in Kenya and were lucky enough to experience great wildlife encounters!!
Everything was well organized, we got the chance to upgrade to a Landrover and were happy we did that. We were able to open the sides and thus see very well, but the roads were really dusty, so definitely bring a mask! (And a warm jacket as the wind can be very cold). It would have been handy to know beforehand that masks are needed.
Our first accommodation was overbooked so they took us to another one. Our guide had to drive us every morning and evening to the other accommodation to eat. The food overall, especially the lunches, were quite simple. We were “warned” that the lunches are not good, but that the guide would stop at a shop on the way so we can buy some snacks. Unfortunately we didn’t stop at a shop on the way to Maasai Mara (only at our lunch spot but there snacks were really expensive) which would have been nice (as the lunches were indeed not the best and they struggled a bit to remember and pack the proper dietary restrictions as asked).
Our guide was very nice and tried his best to give us great animal encounters and we got to see the a Big 5, the wilderbeast crossing through the river and even a cheetah family on the hunt! Sometimes I would have loved to get more information about the animals or more background info about the parks etc., but even when asking specific questions we didn’t always get thorough answers.
Overall, we had a very great experience and got good value for our money.

Good overall, small hiccups with organisation and miscommunication
Very good communication from beginning of booking process until the end of the trip and responsive during the trip. Put us in contact with good drivers and companies for the various activities we undertook (Mt Kilimanjaro, Amboseli safari, markets, etc). There were a couple events of miscommunication between eta and other companies which led to us having to mediate between them to resolve issues.
Was not enough to dampen overall experience but could have done without the unnecessary stress from these incidents.
