absolutely fantastic safari
My safari with bushcraft exceeded my expectations. Uganda has a lot more to offer than Gorillas. In addition to Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking I finally finished my big 5, thanks to the outstanding spotting skills of my guide and driver "sir" Allan Smith who found the missing leopard and got me close enough for nice pictures.
Organisation with bushcraft was perfect in every step - from being super helpful in creating a fitting itineray, than adapting it to my requirements, than being very flexible with adjusting starting dates and finally when i wanted to add another day.
Price to performance ratio was excellent - so i can really highly recommend them as a company.
A special tribute to my guide and driver "Sir" Allan Smith - he was an excellent driver, on and off road, stayed concentrated on our sometimes excessively long daytrips. Small issues with the car (tire change) he handled by himself, without problems. He was always looking out for me, open to my wishes, elpful also with private things like getting a simcard, very solution orientated and excellent in placing the car during the gamedrives or while on road, so i could make wonderful pictures. I felt very safe with him. He was very knowledgable about wildlife and an excellent spotter, so i saw and learned a lot from him on that trip. But he was also an exceptional nice companion, we had great conversations about lots of things, he was always very friendly and in a good mood, so it was a total pleasure to do the trip with him.
Overall 10 out of 10 and i highly recommend Bushcraft and Allan if you consider a Safari in Eastafrica.

Best experience!
It was an amazing experience.
Comunication with Jungleroam Safari was perfect.
The safaris were amacing, specially for me Masai Mara Reserve was incredible. We saw big 5 thanks to our amacing driver Denis. He helped us a lot and explaining everything. Thanks to him we could see the leopard and cheeta like in a movie.
I would really recomend this experience and congratulation to Denis for being such a good driver, guide and good person!

Couldn’t of wished for a more perfect holiday
Cannot put into word how magnificent this week had been and that’s all down to Ringo our tour guide.
He went above and beyond to ensure our stay in Tanzania was amazing.
His knowledge of the area and animals was astounding and exceeded every single expectation.
He was extremely attentive to our needs and nothing was too much trouble.
We managed to see the big 5 which was very impressive.
Ringo asked daily what we hoped to see on our tours, he full filled everyone of our requests, however fully appreciate that isn’t always possible with nature.
Would I choose Nkollo Tours again, most definitely 100%.

Outstanding
Wow we have just returned back from an 8 day Safari with Safari Soles. Including Nautu, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater The trip was absolutely faultless from start to finish Safari Soles went above and beyond.
The accommodation was outstanding. We stayed in Tented Lodges throughout the trip. All very clean and tidy. Staff were very accommodating. They all have their own Chef and the food was amazing. Plenty of choice.
We had a cooked lunch everyday as a picnic out in the bush served by our guide which was amazing. Saved you driving back to the Lodge.
Also served with wine and beers.
But what made the trip extra special was our Safari Guide Mandela. He was amazing! Very professional and experienced. We saw Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Elephants, Zebras, Giraffes, Rhinos, Wildebeests, Hippos, Hyenas and the list goes on. He knew exactly where to be in the right place and the right time keeping a safe distance from the animals. We are both into photography so we were very fortunate to get some amazing photos. Mandela was very patient and waited so we could see the animals move. Especially the Lions as they like to sleep.
We have previously done Safaris with different guides in Kenya but no one was as good as Mandela. He honestly made the trip.
Thank you Mandela and Safaris Soles we will be booking again.

Very well organized.
I spent 9 days on safari in Tanzania with family and had a great experience. Everything was well organized, all the accommodations were excellent, and the whole trip went smoothly without any problems.
The best part was our guide Dickson. He was great at spotting animals and always found the best positions for photography. Thanks to him, we had amazing wildlife sightings and unforgettable moments. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Very reliable
I reached out to about 100 safari companies before booking, and after comparing everything, this one had the best price-to-value ratio by far.
We did a private 9-day tour as a group of five, which gave us great flexibility and comfort throughout the trip.
At several camps we saw other travelers dealing with check-in issues caused by their safari company. We never experienced anything like that — everything worked exactly as it should.
The highlight of the whole trip was definitely our guide, Dickson. He has 19 years of experience, and you can tell within the first day. He knows the animals, birds, and reptiles incredibly well, understands their behavior, and always positioned the vehicle perfectly. Even when there were 20–30 cars at a sighting, he managed to find the right spot.
A guide can make or break a safari, and Dickson absolutely made ours. Very reliable company, very professional, and overall an excellent experience.

Wonderful
We contacted many tour operators and we got quick and clear communication and customised travel plan from thamani tours. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and updated. Over all our experience was stress free.

My Positive Volunteer Experience Review
My name is Lukas Powell, born on 23 November 2003, and I am an American volunteer from the United States. In January 2026, I had the opportunity to volunteer with Go Volunteer Africa in Mukono, Uganda, an experience that was both meaningful and transformative.
During my time in Mukono, I was warmly welcomed by the local community and the Go Volunteer Africa team. I gained valuable hands-on experience while working alongside local staff and other volunteers, and I learned a great deal about community development, teamwork, and cultural exchange. The experience challenged me to adapt to a new environment, think creatively, and approach tasks with patience and respect.
Volunteering in Uganda helped me grow personally and professionally. I developed stronger communication skills, became more culturally aware, and learned the importance of service-driven work. The support and guidance provided Go Volunteer Africa made my experience rewarding and well-organized, and I always felt encouraged and valued as a volunteer.
Overall, my volunteer experience in Mukono was extremely positive and impactful. I am grateful to Go Volunteer Africa for the opportunity, and I would highly recommend their programs to anyone seeking a meaningful and authentic volunteering experience in Africa.

Outstanding and Most Memorable
Our safari with All Wheels was truly special. From the start, planning with Edward, the owner, felt thoughtful and personal. Edward was patient, knowledgeable, and he listened to our thoughts about the trip. He helped to map out a perfect trip. Once in Tanzania, everything flowed smoothly, letting us be present and enjoy every moment.
We had been to Tanzania before and had an idea what to expect, but this trip really allowed us to immerse ourselves in the wonders of nature, culture, and the vastness of the Serengeti and beyond. We started our experience in Arusha National Park. Taking the walk with the ranger was amazing. Next, we chose to fly into the Seronera Airport, right in the Serengeti, which made the trip even better because we were out exploring within minutes of landing.
Our guide, Emmanuel, was exceptional — calm, kind, deeply knowledgeable, and someone who made us feel safe at every moment. Being so close to wildlife in the Serengeti and Ndutu was both exhilarating and humbling, especially witnessing new life and the realities of nature side by side. We all saw all the key players that you would want to see on a safari, but this time we spent more time to find some more unusual cast of characters: a beautiful serval, honey badgers being followed by a jackal, so many gorgeous birds, and even a melanistic black wild cat. When your guide is excited about the finds, you know you are seeing something quite special.
Each accommodation exceeded my expectations. Every tented camp was unique, beautiful, clean, and staffed with wonderful people. The food was excellent—my vegetarian diet was handled with ease—and the trip’s overall pace felt just right: immersive yet never exhausting. My favorite day included an early morning safari, returning for lunch and a midday rest, and heading out again for an evening safari.
In college, I studied anthropology, so our visit to Oldavai Gorge brought tears to my eyes as I heard about the Leakeys and all the amazing finds in the Cradle of Humankind.
Safaris require trust, and All Wheels earned ours completely. This wasn’t just a vacation, but a meaningful experience that will stay with me for a long time. We have committed to returning, as we have fallen in love with the people, the geography, the flora, and the fauna. For a life-changing experience, a safari is well worth it. And All Wheels made the experience even better. I wholeheartedly recommend them for your travels.
Phenomenal
Are you overwhelmed by the number of apparently excellent choices of safari companies in Tanzania? I was, and I hope this review helps, because we could not possibly have been happier with our choice of Safari Soles. Jackson organized the trip and responded graciously and patiently to my many questions and when we had to change the timing and length of our safari twice. He is simply excellent at his job. All the accommodations were exceptional, and everywhere we stayed, we were greeted with smiles, friendly greetings, warm towels, and cold drinks. The service and personnel were uniformly warm and friendly everywhere. We especially loved the Masek Tented Lodge where we were escorted to and from our tents at night by Maasai warriors who made sure we were safe from the hippos that wander amongst the tents at night. But our highest praise of the trip must go to our excellent guide, Christian. He is friendly, professional, kind, and funny with an infectious laugh. He has a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of the areas we visited and the animals we saw, and we saw so many! Not only did we see the Ugly Five and the Big Five, but Christian found us 6 rhinos in one day, both white and black! This was all in a four-day safari. Everyone I mentioned this to in Tanzania said this is very unusual and reflects an exceptionally skilled guide, but we knew that from watching him firsthand. Christian found three of the 6 rhinos with his bare eyes while driving through the densely thicketed and forested areas in the Ngorogoro Crater. It was unbelievable. Even once he stopped the jeep, it took us at least 5 minutes and high-powered binoculars to see what he saw with his bare eyes. He is also a skilled driver, which you'll come to appreciate on the bumpy and sometimes muddy roads and off-roads. But most of all, it was Christian's warmth and kindness that touched us all. The women in our group all welled up when we had to say goodbye and the men agreed they felt they'd made a true friend. He gave us all the experience of a lifetime.
