Great first time safari
This was my first safari and it really was a trip of a lifetime. I saw the most incredible animals and really got to appreciate Uganda and the local life. Accommodation provided was very good and guide/driver(Bright) was knowledgable and efficient. Highly recommended

This was a fantastic tour, enabling us to have a very upclose experience with all animals we desired
Two couples booked this tour with Nature Connect Safaris Uganda. We had been two weeks with a larger tour group in South Africa and then flew to Uganda. We could not have been more pleased with our experience. Francis was so amazing to work with. He took all of our calls from the US, no matter the time, and was extremely helpful in our preparation. Francis met us at the Entebbe Airport at 2:00 am and treated us like royalty from that point on. He was so concerned about our personal needs and desires. His vehicle was great. We were able to have amazing experiences with gorillas, chimpanzees, tree climbing lions, hippos, and more. We were able to have close interactions with all the animals in ways that we couldn't imagine. Francis arranged for wonderful places to lodge in each area. We looked into several options for booking and this one was clearly exceptional for the price we paid. Well worth the money!! Francis had great connections for each trek or excursion, truly optimizing our experience. I highly recommend Nature Connect Safaris Uganda.

So much more than anyicipated
The entire trip was totally amazing from beginning to end and our Driver, John and tour guide was superb. Very knowledgeable about the entire Safari experience, the animals and entire surroundings. He became part of our family for the three days we were there.
I would highly recommend Magwar escapades for your Kenyan safari. You just simply can't go wrong. Hoping to be back again in the future.

Very understanding, accommodating, and hospitable. Your safari isn't complete without Osnet tours
The experience from Osnet Safaris was a lifetime opportunity. Osnet any day!

Excellent! Friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful.
Emmanuel proved to be very knowledgeable and skilled. He was able to accommodate all our requests and always gave his all. The quality/price ratio was excellent. By the end of the tour, Emmanuel was not just a guide but a friend with whom my wife and I shared a wonderful experience.

Very reliable and flexible. Professional, friendly and helpful organisation. Went to Amboseli.
Having been to Kenya many times, first when I was 15. I am 62 now I had booked 2 nights in Amboseli with John Amwayo from Meterai Safaris. Hoping to get the iconic picture with an elephant in front of Mount Kilimanjaro
I came down to Nairobi after 6 nights in Laikipia where my cameras captured nice meetings with Giza Mrembo, the black female leopard. There I booked direct with the Wilderness camp.
I met John at the office and the driver/guide Jackson on the meeting point at Njuganas.
I shared the Amboseli safari with a very nice Spanish couple. It was not easy to get my dream picture as we are not allowed offroad. But first morning got it. It was so nice also seeing Kilimanjaro clear long time. I walked up to the summit, Uhuru Peak from Tanzania 2003. Also now did a very nice short bush walk with two Massai from Nyati camp.
I have published many wildlife books and reports.

Well organized from start to finish
Had a great time. Drivers and guides were all professional and lovely to talk to. Boat captain/guide worked extra hard to help us see specific bird species and get the perfect sunset photo of elephants. Tour was of good value.

Wildside Kenya Safaris cannot be trusted
Having had the same excellent safari driver/guide for many years through a company that has ceased trading, we were anxious to retain him for another holiday. With our approval, he booked us with Wildside Kenya Safaris for a week in the Maasai Mara in early April. We paid the deposit and it was agreed we could pay the balance upon arrival at Nairobi airport. We duly handed USD4,048 to the proprietor of Wildside. We were spending the week at the same lodge and, when we were due to leave, were informed that the lodge had not been paid by Wildside. Our safari driver/guide was visibly shaken and upset - he was in no position to pay it himself. Both he and the lodge staff tried persistently to contact the proprietor of Wildside by 'phone without success. There was either no answer or the 'phone was turned off. There was no alternative to our driver/guide asking us to pay the lodge. We paid USD9,018 by card. We then realised that our driver/guide had also not been paid for his services and expenses for the trip. This was devastating for us all. All the money we had paid to Wildside Kenya Safaris had been retained illegally by the proprietor. We now need to investigate and find out what action we can take from the UK to get our money back. We are frankly disgusted and appalled by the behaviour of the proprietor of Wildside.

Excellent service with responsive, responsible staff at a great value price.
Really enjoyed my Chobe day trip with Rockfowl! They were super responsive and easy to get ahold of, and offered a significantly cheaper price than other companies. However, the safari did NOT feel cheap! We had easy and efficient pick up, an AMAZING river and land safari, and even a tasty lunch at a local resort in Botswana. Saw soooo many elephants. My family and I all loved the experience. Would highly recommend.
