Authenticité, beauté et découverte
With Orugano Safaris, I discovered truly unforgettable people, wildlife, and landscapes.
Meeting the Batwa—displaced hunter-gatherers who have lost their ancestral lands yet preserve their traditions and knowledge of forest plants—was an incredible experience; they are an ancient and courageous people. Learning about their culture and history was deeply moving.
Encountering mountain gorillas is breathtaking; you can see numerous families, and watching mothers and their young move about under the watchful, benevolent gaze of the silverbacks is a true privilege. They are a national treasure, and their preservation is a precious legacy for the Ugandan people. Orugano Safaris took me to places and brought me close to animals I could scarcely have imagined. Nature lovers like me will be absolutely delighted.
I hiked along beautiful trails and met welcoming villagers—a sheer joy; I spent time with them and saw their livestock, daily activities, and homes up close. It was fabulous. Along the way, I discovered magnificent lizards and butterflies; one cannot help but be awestruck by the fragile beauty of the surroundings.
The Bwindi Forest is simply magnificent; the scents, the light, the sounds of wildlife, and the sheer scale of the landscape inspire a sense of humility.
And then there are the stunning volcanoes, such as Mgahinga; trekking through a bamboo forest to reach its magnificent summit is an incredible experience—not to mention the wonderful golden monkeys playing and swinging from vine to vine right before our amazed eyes.
The activities on offer immerse us in a natural world teeming with wildlife, beauty, and authenticity. It is like a waking dream.

Exceptional service from start to finish!
I honestly don’t know why there are so few reviews on this site, because across Google and TripAdvisor, Vomba Tours and Safaris is clearly a top-tier company—and they completely proved it to us!
A huge thank you to Tshidi, who handled our reservations. Her kindness, patience, and support while I was planning our itinerary were absolutely faultless.
Every single transfer was seamless. Our driver, Philomen, was a fantastic guy who made our 4-hour transfer comfortable and easy. The same goes for our airport pickup—Vomba arrived exactly when they said they would and communicated well ahead of expectations.
They made our birthday trip so special, and we will definitely be using them again. Highly recommended!

Wonderful mid-sized company run by local Tanzanian professionals.
We just completed an unbelievable 7 day safari with Meru Slopes. Everything and everyone was excellent. Your driver/guide can be the difference between a good experience and a great experience. We were very fortunate to have Chiko accompanying us for our trip. We started as strangers and ended as lifelong friends. Do yourself a huge favor by requesting Chiko for your safari driver/guide.

Fantastic!
We have traveled with a number of tour operators, but Singe (seen-gay) is in a league of its own. They were incredibly patient and understanding as we were in the planning stages of our trip and struggling with timing and other decisions. When we arrived, were met at the airport by the owners, who welcomed us warmly. The curated custom itinerary of game drives, accommodations, and other activities they arranged were spectacular. Nelson, our driver/guide/game spotter was spectacular. His ability to spot wildlife was unbelievable and he was especially good at finding quiet areas of each park where we could be alone with the wildlife. After a dozen game drives, he still found ways to keep things astounding. His warmth and humour were hugely appreciated.
When my wife’s sister passed away during the trip, Singe Tours contacted the lodge where we were staying, and the staff arranged for her to plant a tree in memory. We truly cannot say enough about Singe Tours. What other tour company texts their clients to ensure they arrived home safely? No other that we have ever encountered. They created the trip of a lifetime for us and we can’t recommend this company highly enough.

Reliable, courteous, and professional.
My husband and I went on a safari: 2 nights in the Masai Mara, 1 night at Lake Nakuru, and 2 nights in Amboseli.
We had a wonderful time. The accommodations were well-suited to our budget and the level of service we chose.
The organization was perfect—flawless, in fact.
We had an issue upon arrival with our luggage, which had been left behind at Amsterdam Airport; the team very kindly arranged for it to be delivered to us by the third day of our safari (at Lake Nakuru).
A special thank you to our driver, Joseph; his kindness, professionalism, and attentiveness toward us made the experience unforgettable.
Thank you, Joseph ❤️
Now we know what "Mal d'Africa" (that longing for Africa) really means.

Budget-friendly
I went on a one-week safari. My goal was to visit the Maasai Mara (for at least three days) and Amboseli on a budget. The Maasai Mara is an expensive park, so it is rare to find budget tours that include 2–3 days there. At Pavillion Safaris, I managed to find a suitable tour at the right price. Of course, since it was a very low-budget safari, there were compromises: very basic accommodation, fully packed vehicles, and occasional changes of vehicle, guide, or group during the trip. However, the wildlife sightings were just as good as on expensive safaris; the Maasai Mara was magnificent (I saw the entire "Big Five" on the first and third days, and four out of five on the second), and in Amboseli, there were elephants set against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro. The company manager was always available via WhatsApp.

The best tour company for Pilanesberg
Booking was so easy through WhatsApp. This is my third trip with Mo Afrika. Such an unbelievable day. I was so lucky to have Martin again! He found us so much wildlife especially African Jacana a very rare bird for here. He’s the best, so much fun and an excellent guide.
