The tour operator Ms. Phinorah has been really helpful in planning the entire trip.
The trip was full of surprises as the safaris never got boring from zebras to leopards and cheetah, the wild flavour kept getting better each day, all thanks to Mr. Samuel Kisemei and his instincts and abilities throughout the safari. Apart from the safari experience, our trip kept getting better because of the amazing person that Mr. Samuel is, he is always ready to give the best experiences throughout the trip including spotting the rarest animals like leopards and cheetahs, which is legendary. Further, even the properties selected for us were absolutely beautiful. The cost could be more reasonable considering the number of days, however, the overall experience was fantastic.

Great Experience
We are a family of 4 and had a great time in Tanzania thanks to Roko Safari. They organized for us a tailor made 7 days experience with an excellent and super experienced guide. We toured from Arusha to Tarangiri, Ngorogoro, Serengeti Central and North, Lake Natron, a full circle in this amazing land. The organization was great even before arriving as the team was replying to our email and requests promptly. Everything went fine, the selection of accomodation perfect for our budget. We highly recommend them.

Michael was an excellent guide, highly skilled, knowledgeable, and professional, making our Tanzania
The safari was an amazing experience, with excellent communication, great service, and very good value for money. Everything was well organized and reliable, and we were lucky enough to see incredible wildlife, including elephants, lions, and leopards. Sleeping in tents was a fantastic part of the adventure and made us feel truly connected to nature. It was an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Tanzania.

We had an amazing experience in Masai Mara with our guide Francis. He has a 15 years experience and we could definitely felt it. The experience was full of surprises and very well handled. He was organised, always on time or ahead of schedule. The drive was safe, there was a lot of space in his car which also was so so so clean !! I definitely recommend to have this experience with him. He is always smily positive and full of informations and very funny stories. He also proposed us another activity: safari bicycle which was very very cool ! Francis is confident in his job and very much interested on how we want to live this experience. 10/10!!!

We saw all the animals, ate delicious food and were helped by kind staff. Only minor issues.
We had a lot of fun. We saw all the animals we wanted to see, saw all the big 5 and much more. The food was delicious and the staff were very kind. Our guide Jeffe was capable of finding the best spots to watch the animals when there were many jeeps trying to approach the same animal.
The Seronera camp in the Serengeti is extremely poorly maintained and has no amenities. This will be the same for everyone who stays there, no matter the tour operator.
There were some minor issues that had only a small impact on our experience which I'll list: We were dropped on the wrong hotel at first. We were told there was room for our travel bags on the jeep but at the last minute we were told we could only take half of our bags and had to rush to rearrange everything. We were told at 5am we would be picked up from the hotel at 6am that same day and then we had to wait almost 1 hour for our car after getting ready at 6am. These delays were the norm during the safari as well. Despite being promised, no sleeping bags were distributed on the first night. Finally, tipping is always a hard subject for us as europeans that don't have/disagree with tipping culture as it is bad for both employees and customers. We were told during the booking process the value of tip that was expected which we agreed to. However, during the safari we were told a 3 times higher tip was actually expected. That ended up not being too bothersome as when we gave only the tip previously agreed upon, no one questioned it. I hope with enough pressure tipping culture is abolished so that employees are properly payed by their employers and customers get to know the real price of the experience before booking.
Every company on this website can show you the animals. I hope not all of them also give you all this trouble.

Breathtaking times with Wild Uganda!
Everything went perfectly from our first contact with Wild Uganda to the last. All communication was very clear, and every question I asked was answered within 24 hours. The itinerary they proposed was perfectly tailored to us, and adjusting it was no problem at all. We were given the option to upgrade our lodges, and the additional cost was very reasonable. Wild Uganda handled everything perfectly. Brian, our guide, made the trip unforgettable; he was always punctual, took care of everything for us, and is an expert at spotting wildlife. Definitely ask for Brian—he is absolutely outstanding.

Highest level of service and attention to detail in the industry period.
I have traveled with many tour companies and none have come close to matching the experience I had with Tapestry of Africa. Almost immediate response to every question. 5 star support through the entire trip. All of the staff from Mat Jenkins the owner to the drivers and office staff strive for excellence. I did extensive research trying to pick a tour company for my first safari and I don’t believe I could have found a better option. The accommodations and safari vehicles were all superb. If you are trying to find a safari company to travel with you will never do better and will be hard to match.

Excellent, accommodating, and always made us feel safe and well taken care of.
We had an amazing experience with our guide throughout the safari. From the beginning, he was very friendly and easy to connect with, and we quickly developed a great rapport.
He was always punctual and flexible with our schedule. We agreed on timings that worked for everyone, and he consistently made sure everything went according to plan. Most importantly, he always prioritized our safety and made sure we were comfortable and not bothered by unnecessary situations. Whenever something wasn’t right, he was also proactive in speaking up and raising concerns on our behalf.
His knowledge of the safari was excellent. He shared so much information about the places we visited, the animals we encountered, and plenty of interesting facts along the way, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
One thing we especially appreciated was how much effort he put into making sure we got the best photos and videos. He was genuinely passionate about capturing the experience, which matched us perfectly since we also love taking photos and videos!
Overall, he was professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely passionate about what he does. More than just being our guide, he made the entire safari feel comfortable, safe, fun, and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for our Kenya adventure!
