Four days, Three Parks, One Incredible Adventure
4-day safari through Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and Ngorongoro Crater was nothing short of unforgettable.
I had the pleasure of sharing this experience with a wonderful group of people from all over the world, which made the journey even more special. A huge part of what made this trip so incredible was our guide, David. He was always attentive, in a great mood, and truly dedicated to giving us the best possible experience—and he absolutely delivered. He had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife, often noticing animals before we had any idea something was there. He was also very cooperative with other guides, working together to find the best viewing spots and ensuring everyone got to enjoy the moment.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five—including a black rhino up close, which gave us some truly incredible photos.
A special mention also goes to Richard, who prepared delicious meals for us throughout the trip. No matter where we were, he made sure we were well-fed and happy.
This safari was a true adventure, filled with breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and amazing people. I feel incredibly grateful to have experienced it. Great value for the price!

The Cuckoo team was amazing and professional; they made the experience educational and enjoyable.
We explored Victoria Falls from both Zimbabwe and Zambia. Our guide from the Zimbabwe side, Prudence, was highly knowledgeable, pausing at each viewpoint to share insights. She also acted as our photographer, capturing moments of our visit. Blessing, the driver, was cheerful and professional throughout the trip.

Great experience, very happy with our choice!
We have booked a day visit to Chobe safari park in Botswana with Safari Bookings and we could not be happier with our choice!
After making our reservation, we were contacted via WhatsApp so further contact was very easy. We were picked up neatly on time from our hotel in Victoria falls by a very friendly driver who took us across borders to Botswana. There we were handed over to Safari guide in a different vehicle and continued to Chobe park for the morning part- drive safari. As it started raining we were all handed good quality raincoats to use. Driver was very knowledgable and we saw many wonderful animals, even a pride of lions sleeping under the tree!! Amazing. A short stop was also part of the morning drive with nice refreshing snacks, drinks and available toilet break.
The drive ended by a very nice large lodge where we had a fabulous buffet lunch with superb views on Chobe river.
After lunch we continued with 2nd part and that was a water cruise. We saw many birds, hippos, crocodiles. Fantastic.
After the river cruise of about 2 hours we were assisted to our transport back to border and assisted to cross into Zimbabwe, where the same driver waited for us to took us back to our hotel.
Everything was arranged on time, without any hassle and our Chobe experience was truly wonderful thanks to the guides.

Three day gorilla trekking
Nturo Safaris handled my gorilla Trekking Safari very professionally. I was picked up early from my hotel room very early and got transferred to Nkuringo for my gorilla trek. I really loved my experience because it was very interactive, a dream come true.

AxisSafari is a dedicated Team that will go out of their way to provide you with a great experience!
We were a group of 15 and we did the 2 nights Masai mara trip. We went with two Landcruisers and stayed at Ntulele Camp. The camp is in good shape and the food was amazing. Our Guide, Jack, was great and really tried to show as as many animals as possible. Apart from the rhinos we saw all big five and so much more. The river walk was a nice surprise, also the visit of the TZ Border.
The Masai village experience was very interesting. All in all we can highly recommend Axis as they are very flexible and adjust to your needs as well as delivering great value for money.

Avoid Tubale Safari
First of all, this review is not meant to discourage anyone from visiting Uganda. It is a beautiful country with incredible nature and, above all, wonderful people.
However, this review is specifically about our experience with Tubale Safari and Anette.
At the beginning of the planning process, the company appeared professional and trustworthy. They had good reviews on TripAdvisor, SafariBookings, and were listed with the Uganda Tourism Board. For that reason, we felt confident booking with them.
Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, the experience did not match what had been promised.
A few days before our trip, I reached out after seeing a negative review online. Anette reassured me that everything was in order. However, upon arrival in Uganda, I received a message asking us to pay for the first two hotels, lodges, and initial tours (including Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison Falls National Park, and the river cruise) due to “bank issues.” With little choice, we paid, as we were told the situation would be resolved within a few days. It was not.
Throughout the trip, we ended up paying for nearly all lodges (except one), most tours (including Golden Monkey Tracking), as well as fuel and vehicle-related costs. At one point, the vehicle was locked remotely twice by its owner because payments had not been made by Tubale Safari. Although our guide managed to resolve the situation, we missed a scheduled early morning game drive because of it.
During the entire trip, we were repeatedly given different explanations and excuses. Despite having already paid for the full package in advance, we had to cover many costs again.
In total, we incurred additional expenses of approximately 7,500 USD for accommodation, tours, transportation, food, and missed activities.
On the last day of the trip, Anette met us in person and promised to reimburse the money by March 5, 2026. As of today, we have received only 100 USD.
Based on this experience, I cannot recommend or trust this company. While it is possible that future trips may go smoothly, there is no certainty, and there are many more reliable alternatives available.
If you have already booked with Tubale Safari, I strongly advise you to:
• Contact all lodges directly to confirm your reservations
• Be cautious with advance payments
• Be prepared to pay costs on-site
This situation created constant uncertainty throughout our trip. We never knew if bookings were valid or if activities would take place. This significantly impacted our overall experience and prevented us from fully enjoying the journey.
On a positive note, our guide was excellent, and the local guides during excursions were professional and knowledgeable. We also met many kind and welcoming people in Uganda.
So yes – visit Uganda, it is absolutely worth it. But based on our experience, I would strongly recommend choosing a different tour operator.
If anyone has questions, I am happy to share more details, including communication and screenshots.

Amazing trip, fantastic tour guide
Overall, a great value for the experience! Obviously the best part of our tour was our guide, Papa John. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. He took the time to get to know us, answer questions and always made we were comfortable. We got to see 4 of the “big 5” and truly a memorable experience.

The most incredible week thanks to the most incredible team!
Thank you, Safari Revive for the most incredible week exploring Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli! From the lodges, to the game drives and an extra special shout out to our 3 fantastic guides - Humphrey, Kenneth and Henry were the best and I can't recommend them enough! They ensured we had the most incredible sightings during the safari, and made our entire visit perfect! If I'm lucky enough to plan another visit again to Africa, it'll be with Safari Revive :) Thank you guys for doing what you do so effortlessly and giving us the most incredible memories of Africa that will be cherished forever!

Beyond Expectations……..By a Lot
We arrved at the end of the wet season, late March, experienced no rain. While the reserve was very lush with greenery, animal sightings started as soon as we left Skukuza airport. And got better at every turn. MalaMala Reserve deserves all the hype. Saw at least 9 different leopards on multiple occasions. Lions, leopards, and all what became the usual, giraffes, elephants, wildebeasts, cape buffalo, white rhinos, impalas, waterbuck, nyala, so many birds I cannot recall. We saw wild dogs on the hun after impalas. The same dogs has chased two young leopards up a tree. Even a honeybadger. Hyenas. Guide Nic was spectacular. Meals and lodging first rate, staff was excellent. Four days that I could have never even imagined, happened to us. This was our first safari experience and we will return. The whole experience was first rate.
