An exceptional trip in the western of the pearl of Africa
We spent a fabulous week with Eric. We visited the western Ouganda : Kibale, queen Élisabeth and lake Mburo.
Before the trip, the communication with Eric to prepare the trip was very easy. He manage to took into consideration all our requests.
We were 4 adults and one little one (3yrs old) and he manage to accommodate everybody.
All the lodges he choose were very high standard !
During the trip, he explained very well the culture, the history of the country and the behavior of animals and has a lot of knowledge especially on birds.
We also got good advice to take nice pictures as Eric is a very good photographer.
Everything during our trip was positive so we have only two words to conclude: it is a big THANK YOU !!! 😊

Helped ticket one off the old bucket list with ease!
It was our first trip to Africa, and doing a safari so we were unsure of quite a few things. We took a leap of faith going with these guys, and it paid off! Johan was great all throughout the planning and booking process, and we ended up having one of the best trips of our ever. The communication throughout was excellent, and all of our questions and concerns were answered with prompt and honest answers/responses. Everything went to plan as per the itinerary, and we had full peace of mind knowing that Johan and the various tour operators involved were only a phone call away should something happen out of the ordinary. The Safari's were everything we expected, and absolutely loved them! We got to see the big 5 and
lots more....
The accommodation, food, safaris, various transport companies etc were all of very high standards and offered great service. We considered the whole trip very good value for money. Highly recommend these guys and we would definitely love to do it all again one day, given the chance....

Highlight of traveling Ethiopia
It was the highlight of my time in Ethiopia.
I strongly suggest booking this course as the beginning of your journey in Ethiopia.
I was quite surprised that it felt like a private course—they didn’t cancel even though I was the only one who booked.
From the very beginning, everything was great. On the way to the local market, Oli and Abraham drove me past famous attractions and provided explanations. This overall introduction alone will be incredibly helpful for the rest of your journey.
At the local market, I had plenty of time to explore. (If you’re looking for something other than spices, you can ask them to help you find it.)
After that, we went to their home (not a model house). The place was truly nice and peaceful.
This cooking class wasn’t just about learning skills. It was a beautiful opportunity to better understand the lives of local people, experience how they share food with their families, and learn about their coffee-making and drinking traditions.
Compared to other cooking classes I’ve taken in different countries, this one was among the best in terms of quality and approach. When you talk with the main host, Yhun, you’ll realize how thoughtfully they have designed this tour.
I advised them to include more photos and descriptions because I genuinely want more people to know about this amazing experience.
I initially thought three hours would be too short, but the tour lasted around five hours (maybe because I took my time?). They never complained.
If you have any specific requests, I recommend messaging them in advance. I didn’t, but they were incredibly flexible and will make your journey even more special.
One regret I have is that I didn’t think to take a group photo with their family before leaving.

Cheap but amazing
Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
We were a bit hesitant to stay in tents at a campsite in the middle of the Serengeti, but it was absolutely fantastic.
Our guide and our chef were absolutely wonderful and went the extra mile for us. Good info and service from the company.
If I go on safari again, I will go with Meru Slopes

Joseph is an excellent listener, answering all of our questions, a true professional tour guide.
The entire trip went off without a hitch. Joseph, who was our safari guide pick us up at the airport and was with us the entire trip. The hotel accommodations were great, from spending a few nights in a bush camp to our final stay at the hotel over looking the Ngorongoro Crater. Asili Explorer Safaris hit all of the marks. All of the hotel accommodations included breakfast, sack lunch while on safari and dinner. Our night at the bush camp was interesting as a group of hippos from a neighboring pond decided to make camp out side of our tent. A no time did we feel endangered while on safari. We were able to see Africas big four, lion, rhino, leopard, and elephant, which I found out later that it is not easy to see them all on one trip. Asili Safaris and our guide Joseph made our trip on that we will not forget soon and we will be planning another one soon.

I highly recommend Obag Africa Safaris
Obag Africa Safaris made my dream safari a reality! From the moment we landed, everything was well-organized, and the hospitality was outstanding. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about wildlife and ensured we spotted the Big Five. The lodges were luxurious, and the entire experience felt personalized. I highly recommend Obag Africa Safaris for an unforgettable African adventure!

not an ordinary tour but an authentic cultural and human experience
With Amatsiko the trip to Uganda becomes extraordinary, the country and the people are wonderful and Alex and Alphonse, thanks to their professionalism and knowledge, manage to make this experience memorable. I will never forget the smile of the people and the beauty of the nature of these places. With Amatsiko you do not just take a trip but a real experience in contact with the communities and the wonderful thing is that part of the proceeds are used to support the communities you visit, so more than sustainable travel, it is charitable travel.

Incredible Safari experience
We did a private group safari with 5 people and From start to finish, everything was seamless—well-organized logistics, fast communication, flexible with our multiple requests, etc
Our guide was fantastic, sharing deep insights about the animals and landscapes while ensuring we had the best views.
We had a chef too, cooking amazing local dishes for us every day.
The accommodations were meeting the expectations of the budget safari we did, comfortable with the beauty of nature.
Bonus point : we saw all the Big 5! Which could be luck but also skills of our guide taking us to the right place at the right time?!

Excellent experience from start to finish. The tour delivered everything it promised. Our guide was very fun and always tried to make the journey enjoyable. The campsite was beautiful, and the food was delicious.
We were two girls traveling alone, and we did the 4-day safari. Everything was fantastic—we felt safe the entire time, so we highly recommend it!
