Didn't Need to Worry About a Thing
My husband and I were looking into doing a safari trip for our honeymoon. After reaching out to a few operators, we decided to book with Awuor Escapades. From the very beginning, Lencer made it easy; she was quick to respond to any questions we had and created a wonderful itinerary for our trip. Tony, who was our guide for our day in Nairobi was very nice, and Simon (our guide for the rest of the trip) was especially exceptional. Simon drove us to our various camps and game drives and he answered all of our questions. We left with lots of amazing pictures and memories; my husband and I would love to visit Kenya again in the future and plan to book with Awuor Escapades when the time comes!

From Gorillas to Leopards - a Perfectly Organized Safari We Will Never Forget
Our safari in Uganda was simply unforgettable! From the very first moment, we felt completely well taken care of. The communication and booking process with Jason was professional, smooth, and reliable. Every one of our wishes was taken into account and perfectly arranged.
We were picked up on time upon arrival and traveled in an excellent safari jeep throughout the trip. The gorilla trekking was an absolute highlight and a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget. After a few relaxing days at Lake Bunyonyi, we continued to Queen Elizabeth National Park, where we were able to see an incredible variety of wildlife and create unforgettable memories. We were especially excited to spot lions and even two leopards! Our safari ended with chimpanzee trekking in Kibale National Park, which was another amazing experience.
A very special thank you goes to our guide, Smith. He was always friendly, professional, and incredibly dedicated. His extensive knowledge of Uganda, its wildlife, and nature made every game drive both exciting and informative. Thanks to his keen eye, we were able to see so many animals, and we felt safe and well looked after throughout the entire journey.
We highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Uganda for a fair price and we would book with them again without hesitation!

Quite good and experience, would choose to come back again
The package was value for money. We had no major pain points. The only thing is one guest was late or meant to be picked up in a different spot so we had to take a detour on our way to Masai Mara.
Brian was very helpful and considered the whole time. He was constantly on the radio and phone to try to find us more animals.
Thanks to him we got to see most of the major ones.
Would recommend friends and hopefully come back soon.

Meru is amazing and provided a once in a lifetime experience.
Meru Slopes provided a once in a lifetime experience seeing the wonders of Tanzania. Our organizer Gift Tempo, day guide Victor, and our AMAZING safari guide Bryson created a special experience we will remember forever. We encountered every animal we had hoped to see, stayed in amazing accommodations, and were treated wonderfully by the staff. If you book safari, please choose Meru.

Helena tailored our trip to create an unforgettable experience, and was very helpful and responsive!
Our guide, Michael, was a delight! Cheerful, friendly, and attentive. He went the extra mile, coordinated with other guides to help find amazing wildlife sightings (huge hippo pools, huge prides of lion, cheetah, leopard), and took the time to accommodate our specific interests - i.e. identify names of bird. He also shared interesting information that helped us understand and appreciate local cultures and practices. We so appreciated his big heart for the wildlife and people of Tanzania! And he was an excellent driver as well!

Excelent 2 days of safari
It was an incredible experience from start to finish! Our guide, Kelvin, did everything possible to make sure we could see as many animals as possible. He was kind, funny and very knowledgeable, and he shared lots of interesting facts and curiosities about the animals throughout the safari.
After each adventure, we arrived at beautiful, safe and comfortable places to rest, with delicious dinners and great breakfasts. They also provided us with bottled water constantly and took care of absolutely everything, so we could simply relax and enjoy the experience.
I 100% recommend this company, and especially our guide KELVIN! He made the experience even more special.
Thank you so much, Kelvin! 🐘🦁❤️

Amazing safari trip with professional guide Thadey
Firstly thanks agent Norah for assisting me on this trip and arranging everything. This is an amazing safari trip completely beyond my expectations. I don’t have any professional equipments, any cameras, not even binoculars, all I have is an iPhone. But it turns out I’ve seen all the animals I love literally just next to my car within 2 meters. All credit goes to my professional safari guide - Thadey. He’s excellent at spotting any animals, especially my favourite big cats, lions, leopards and cheetahs. Everyday is full of surprises, cheetah hunting, a pride of lions including cubs enjoy buffalo, hyenas following us, and the most incredible moment is watching the great migration, wildebeests and zebra cross Mara river. I can’t ask more for this magical safari trip, appreciate a lot Thadey’s dedicated efforts and non-stop driving. Highly recommend Thadey, he will complete your dream.

Malaki Was the Guide Who Made My Serengeti Dream a Reality
We had six days with Malaki as our guide through Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, and I'll be back with Malaki as my guide.
From the airport pickup onward, Malaki felt like an old friend, handling every detail and special request we had seamlessly and with ease. I found out about Malaki through a friend who works at a 5 star luxury hotel chain in the USA; her colleagues all use Malaki Safaris when they vacation at the hotel chain's Serengeti location.
Malaki is an expert in wildlife and conservation and it was fascinating to talk to him about his guiding experience. He found the Big Five for us and he was just as thrilled as we were watching the wildlife. Malaki is kind, patient, easy going, knowledgeable, very professional, fun, and has fascinating stories about his guiding experiences, wildlife sightings, and the local Maasai culture. We learned a lot from Malaki and really enjoyed his company.
My trip to the Serengeti was my childhood dream, and Malaki made it entirely perfect. If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, ask for him, every detail will be perfection and you will be taken care of. I'm already looking forward to going back.

Highly Effective & Efficient
We had a great experience and got to see basically every animal we wanted to, even the elusive big cats (leopard, cheetah, lion). Our driver Timothy was amazing! He was such an experienced, efficient, effective driver, easily shaving off 30+ minutes when getting between national parks. He was a friendly guide and exceptionally knowledgeable about the best places to see all the animals. He was kind and accommodating. Would highly recommend.
If I had one constructive feedback, it would be that I'd hope the tour guide be more informative to tell us details and fun facts about where we're going and seeing, but we still had a fantastic time and I'd definitely still recommend Morningstar as well as our driver.
