Great tour leader
Our tour leader, Mr. Focus, was amazing. He was nice and knowledgable and shared alot of facts regarding different animals life style. He always tried to find different animals and provide a best angle for us to watch them. He respected our wishes to stay longer to watch migration in north.
food was good and hotels were clean. Unfortunately, alot of them didn’t have proper wifi.
There are few complains. The main one is, it seems the tour company paid for 48 hours Serengeti park entrance fee while we supposed to stay three days there. we supposed to stay in center serengeti for one day and two days in north serengeti. while it was not easy to do that by this limited time (48hrs). So after one day staying in center and one day at north, we had to change our plan from second day at north to center. Although our game drive on center also was short on third day which is a disappointed.
Also it was better if we had more detailed plan of day to day activities before starting the tour. It was not clear to us how many hours we are going to do game drives per day when we booked the tour. Eventhough they mentioned the hours of transfer per day, it was not even close to reality. We had much longer transfer time each day, almost double to what they mentioned. So the game drive per day was max 2-3 hours. It seems the person who arrange and plan the tour, he never went actually on the tour or not talk to their tour leaders to share a more realistic safari plan.
Besides, planning, everything else was good, especially our tour leader, Mr. Focus.

Good driver, nice hotels, wonderful nature, car could have been better
Our driver Moses was very good and really managed to get us to the best spots to see the animals. Also, driving in the highway with traffic requires good skills and Moses did fantastic. Regarding hotels, they were really comfortable and the food was good. The only thing that could have been better is the car. We were told we were getting a 4x4 and that was not the case. After I complained we changed car, but had a detour of 2 hours to get the 4x4. The 4x4 we got was a very worn out toyota bus converted into a "safari car". I would strongly suggest to get a decent Toyota Landcruiser for your safaris (as 95% of people do).

Incredible adventure and very nice hospitality from Honest
I would like to give Honest a well-deserved 5 stars for his kindness and effort, but I can only rate the company 4 stars overall. Our trip wasn’t entirely smooth, especially during the Kenya part of our holiday, where we encountered several issues. We had to make many calls to solve the problems, which I wish could have been better managed, especially with the third-party company in Kenya.
Since the main company is based in Tanzania, our safari experience there was more smooth, but we still faced some challenges. For instance, the driver dropped us off at the wrong campsite instead of the one we had booked. Thankfully, Honest stepped in to solve the issue, transferred us to the correct campsite, and even ordered beers to apologize – a very thoughtful gesture.
Overall, we were happy with our trip and had an incredible time in both Kenya and Africa. I just wish the process had been a little more organized to avoid these stressful moments.
I highly recommend this adventure; it’s an experience you don’t want to miss.

Good, quick response
The response is in time, the service is good. But maybe some areas can be better, bc we want to see the flamingo and it’s not the right season but the company didn’t tell us.

It's amazing
We want to de Lions Park and Leseedi Cultural Village. I don't recommend, but only because they are not natural, both are made for tourist. I prefer nature.

Jambo Mara Shared Safari
I went on this safari in August 2024, so technically at the end of the great migration, but we were still able to see many many wild beast and all the other animals! I saw 4/5 of the big 5 (rhino unfortunately did not want to be seen on my dates, but I'm still so very happy!)
Our driver Solomon was amazing and very knowledgeable with all the animal facts and where they could be found.
In the beginning there was a mix-up with my accomodation, but it was fixed in less than 30 minutes - so I'm happy about the customer service.
As a solo traveling female, I was anxious at first, but this group joining Safari felt very controlled and the Jombo Mara Lodges have locks on their doors so I felt safe at night.

Excellent organization!
We booked a 5 days game drive safari in Queen Elizabeth NP combined with gorilla trekking in Bwindi. Our guide and driver, Arthur, gave us the best time! The lodges were amazing and all transportation was well organized. The highlight of the trip was without a doubt standing face to face with the gorillas. A once in a lifetime experience! We definitely recommend travelling with Tubale Safaris!

Enjoyable safari with good food & accommodation and a good guide!
Overall, we had a good time. Though on the first day before the safari started the Organisation had some struggles with picking up the guests. We had to wait for almost an hour for our pick up and it seems like the other guests had similar issues. Apart from that the Organisation and the whole safari worked out perfectly. We also got picked up from the airport and brought back to the airport 2 days after the end of the safari.
We stayed in mid-range lodges, which we enjoyed!
