Carefully, kind and great experience
A very nice, kind, small and familia Safari Company. You can trust them 100% that they do their best to offer you a wonderful safari experiences for a very fair price also for students. Everything went smooth and I really enjoyed the time with our tour guides, the lodge we were located, the food and of course the wonderful safari we did in the Nyerere National Park. The guides are taking much care and have incredible knowledge, they are the best and greatest company you can wish for. What was a bit annoying unfortunately was that the veko, it was a bit broken and on one side the window didn't go down. In addition, the walking safari and the visit to the Maasai was very interesting but did not reflect how such a presentation and "show" for white tourists also reinforces a racist image about the "African continent" in many white people's minds... I think that as a tourist you have to deal with power structures, racist systems and postcolonialism before you travel to countries like Tanzania, which of course is not the responsibility of Asante Bibi. All in all we enjoyed our trip with this company and learned a lot it was a wonderful and unforgettable time .Thank you so much Asante Bibi!

Once (or perhaps more?) in a lifetime experience!
Let me begin by telling you the importance of choosing a good local tour for a trip to Safari. Continuous communications before and during the trip, tailor-made route, a helpful guide, one of a kind accommodation..you name it. Much appreciation goes to our contact Peter for curating the route to our preferences and answering my enquiries, after all it's my family's very first trip to the Safari! We are thankful for our guide Dickson who is open to our suggestions and is a very reliable driver. Not to mention being attentive in spotting lions from hundreds of yards away! All in all we recommend travelling with Apodiformes Adventures for this once in a lifetime experience!

We have spent a holiday in Sansibar and made a 2 days safari in Tanzania with " African Flowers " It was really a great experience. The trip was very well organized, our guide war really great and provided us with all informations about the wildlife and the life in Tanzania that we needed. During the safari we could admire the landscapes and the animals, our lodge at Lake Manyara was marvelous. All on all it war really unforgettable.

Excellent Guide and Fast Response
The booking process was seamless as Paul was attending to me from the start providing me with complete itinerary, information and efficient response to all of my questions. The only thing I could critique is the car condition which broke down twice on the road, however it showed me much camaraderie from all the fellow drivers and guides who stopped to help us until we got the car running again. Overall, We had an amazing experience in Central and North Serengeti and managed to see the most anticipated Great Migration! It was Amazing. Our guide, David, made sure we were able to catch that! David is very knowledgeable and he did his best to show us everything. The lodges that we stayed in were also very decent with good food and nice people. A very memorable trip!

Review about Kalinzu Forest Reserve by Domitilla Marchi
We liked the trek, it was a little hard to find the chimpanzee and they were up on the trees, but overall it was a good experience

Beautiful and friendly, but lacking a bit of wildlife.
Uganda is a very friendly country and definitely worth the visit.
Pros:
Amazing primate wildlife: gorillas, chimpanzees and many other smaller primates (monkeys) can be easily watched.
Very good birding.
Beautiful forested hills and mountains to the West of the country.
Beautiful geographical features, like Lake Victoria, Murchison Falls, the Nile, Ruwenzori and Virunga mountains. All within reach.
Friendly people everywhere. Drivers, guides, rangers, hotel staff, all are very nice and devoted to their work.
Professional guides and drivers know their trade well.
Very good food everywhere we went.
Good lodges, although some were a bit below par for a mid-range aspiration.
Cons:
Other than primates, wildlife is unevenly present in the parks. Some lack this, some lack that, etc.
Overall, wildlife does not appear in vast numbers as it does in other countries in the region, despite censuses and claims to the contrary (they are sure true, but it just does not show on the field).
Dreadful dirt roads in the forested areas, really bad even for trained drivers with adequate 4x4 cars. Well below the standard in neighbouring countries.
Driving times can be very long on account of the state of the roads (even those on tar).

Amazing Safari with Jeepcruise Safaris
Jeepcruise Safaris made my trip unforgettable! The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, the vehicle was very comfortable, and we got to see the Big Five up close. Everything was well-organized from start to finish, and I felt safe the whole time. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a real safari experience in Kenya.

Full Package provided a good Safari experience at an affordable price
We discovered that the most important aspects of a Safari
1. Your driver/guide is the number 1 and his knowledge will determine your experience
2. Be courteous to the people as they are always welcoming and polite
3. Be flexible and work with the operator as some things are out of their control: we had 1 tented camp that had water issues, and probably due to this camp was not permanent and was moved into the area to be close to Migration
All our other locations were great for what we selected as “comfortable” budget option. Maybe only ask for the permanent camps.
4. Please tip - many are just trainees or volunteers who survive on tips
5. Enjoy Nature and all this great country offers.

highly experienced tour operator for a wonderful experience
The team was very helpful, professional and available to propose various alternatives during pre booking. They were able to customize our trip in a very efficient way.
Lodge selection was good, only in one case we were a bit far away from the park.
Our guide was Felix: a very experienced driver. He had a good eye for spotting animals and he was able to manage a couple of issues to the car we had, avoiding any problem for our tour.
Highly recommended
