Beyond all expectations - book with JM immediately!
I travelled solo to Uganda and Rwanda with JM Safaris in November 25, and the trip far exceeded every expectation I had. From start to finish, the team catered for me perfectly — the entire journey felt thoughtfully designed, and kept getting better day by day. The team are genuinely exceptional: warm, attentive, and incredibly detail-oriented. They clearly have a talent for catering to a wide range of travellers — solo adventurers, couples, families, or groups — while still making the experience feel bespoke. Everything ran smoothly, with flexibility and care throughout.
'King' Charles and Derek joined as my guides, and were both outstanding — incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their understanding added so much depth to the experience, they went above and beyond to make every day special. A special mention also goes to Christina in the office, who is super responsive, incredibly organised and very helpful which made the booking process easy.
The itinerary experiences were extraordinary. Gorilla trekking, Chimpanzee walk and Golden monkey tracking, plus multiple safari drives through different national parks en route. The wildlife sightings were phenomenal — I saw more wildlife than on any other safari trips I’ve done in recent years, and each park offered something completely different and memorable. Both countries surprised me and completely exceeded my expectations. The landscapes are stunning, the people are welcoming, and the food in Uganda was standout — fresh, healthy, abundant, and packed with flavour.
I would recommend this experience to absolutely anyone, whether travelling solo or as part of a group. I truly hope to travel with this team again in the future — it was an unforgettable journey and one of the best safari experiences I’ve ever had. You will not regret.

If they get there, top service
The trip started a bit chaotic, communication fault about the pick up. After a bit back and forth everything worked out well. We had driver Willy who is a very good driver, nows good places to stop for a bite or a drink, he drives relaxed and save.

Well organized and an unique Safari experience
Our safari experience in Tanzania was truly unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to our driver and guide. He was extremely friendly and respectful, with a calm and reassuring manner that made us feel comfortable at all times.
He was very communicative and always attentive to our needs, regularly asking about our interests and adjusting the itinerary accordingly. He made a real effort to ensure we had the best possible wildlife experiences, often asking other drivers along the way whether animals had been spotted nearby, so we could reach them quickly.
His driving skills were excellent, even on challenging roads, and we always felt safe. In addition, he shared many interesting and insightful conversations about the animals, the Maasai people, and their culture, which greatly enriched our safari experience.
He also organized visits to a Maasai village and a children’s orphanage quickly and smoothly, showing great flexibility and commitment. Overall, he went above and beyond to make our trip special, and we can highly recommend him to anyone planning a Tanzania Safari.

Well organized and a unique safari experience!
I would like to sincerely thank Alex for being such a great and caring tour guide during our safari trip. As two female travelers, my friend and I felt very comfortable and well looked after at all times. Alex treated us with great respect and consistently made sure that we were treated well everywhere we went. While it is also true that Tanzanian people are generally very kind and friendly, Alex went above and beyond to ensure we felt safe and welcome throughout the trip.
Before the safari, we told Alex what we were most excited to see, and he truly did his best to make it happen. Whether it was a laughing hyena or a buffalo with a bird on its back, he made sure we experienced as much wildlife as possible.
That said, it is important to understand that seeing every single animal is not always within a guide’s control. This should not be held against him, as many factors are simply beyond anyone’s influence.
I am giving four stars instead of five solely due to the food. Unfortunately, the lunch boxes were not suitable for vegans, which was disappointing.
Overall, Alex is an excellent guide and a genuinely caring person, and I would highly recommend him.

Big recommendation for Psalms Adventures, you won’t regret it!
Absolutely loved our time with Psalms adventures. They crafted a custom itinerary for our honeymoon trip. They took us for a private multi-day safari in Tanzania, and for two day hiking at Mt. Kilimanjaro. All our operators & lodging selections were top notch. Olivia was even able to accommodate when our inbound flight changed and shifted things around- which we very much appreciate!
All of the people with Psalms were warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. Saidi was our safari guide: he took us to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti. He knew where to find all the animals, and gave us great history and tidbits. So many animals, and we almost got all of The Big Five! (The leopard was elusive.) We always felt safe during our trip, and had a lot of fun. We spent almost 4 days with Saidi, and he was always a pleasure. He showed us his hometown and people, and as hoc brought us to find the banana wine we wanted.
Emmanuel and his crew led the Kilimanjaro portion of our trip. He worked with our pace as we made our way up the mountain to the Mandara huts and overnight camp. Emmanuel even organized a private sunrise hike of a crater on the mountain. The food was always provided, even when we’re in the most remote places. Samuel was our Moshi/Kili/airport driver, and took us through sites in Moshi and was very gracious in bringing us to places we wanted to go. Even Donaldi, who met us at the airport on arrival, was incredibly helpful and welcomed us on our first night.
Overall, we were in wonderful hands with Psalms. All our sleeping arrangements were mid-range, and were always very comfortable, private, with AC and water where applicable. I cannot recommend Psalms Adventures enough, and er are so grateful that they made our honeymoon an unforgettable trip!

A once-in-a-lifetime safari experience
A truly unforgettable experience.
We would like to thank Serengeti African Tour for their excellent organization, professionalism, punctuality, and great attention to detail. The accommodations were excellent and the itinerary was perfectly planned. Excellent value for money.
A special thanks to Safina for her fast and clear communication, and to Inviolata for her precision and kindness.
Our biggest thanks go to Gideon, our guide and true friend. Always caring, incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife, and able to show us amazing scenes we will never forget. His humanity and passion truly made the difference and turned this trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Highly recommended!

So excellent and great company
Unveil Uganda Safaris is a good company and they respond so fast and we did a one day trip to lake Mauro National Park and all our children enjoyed a walking safari and a boat trip on the lake. Zebras and giraffes.
