Birding and primates destination
Uganda is a safe destination. Is has a true African vibe. Friendly and welcoming to tourists.
If you are into birding and if you want to see a big variety of primates, Uganda is a good option. Gorilla trekking is expensive and too commercialized.
General game viewing is Ok, but there are many counties like Sout-Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Zambia where game is more abundant and much cheaper to experience.

Well plannes tour and great guide, allowed us to see 4 of the 5 big fives in a short time
- Value for money
- Puntual pick up from hotel
- Great driver and guides
- On the flip side, I wish the tour could have been longer only die to a rather large crowd from multiple hotels hence there was a lot of pick up and drop offs required. I was the first to be picked up at 6am and last to be dropped of at my Hotel the Sandton Sun at 8.30pm. There was around 3-4 hours of 'real safari' time.

A very friendly team with a lot of knowledge about the country and its animals.
We had a lovely time in Kenya during our 6-days safari trip through Amboseli National Park, Laka Naivasha and Masai Mara. Most of the accomodations were very good and luxury. We spotted a lot of animals (the big 5!) and learned a lot about the Kenyan culture. For anyone who is looking for a complete and affordable safari, we really recommend Marurumi Safaris.

Breathtaking!
The safari was beautiful. Although we didn’t get to see as many elephants as I would’ve liked, everything was beautiful. The lunch was delicious and wvweyone was very welcoming and inviting.

Amazing Budget safari
Tour well organized and amazing. Tremisana lodge comfortable and nice. Marc's camp budget, cooking and staff very good. Planning organization efficient. Tent too small and without place to wardrobe.

A Restorative Return
I have Zimbabwean heritage, but hadn't visited for many years. I felt welcomed as if I had never been away. It's impossible to place any one of the many rich ingredients which made up this overall immersive and mind-expanding experience ahead of the others, so let me just say this:
- The people were warm and positive and loved their country.
- The experience was authentic, whether on safari in the bush, spending time with old friends or everyday contact in shops.
- Being away from light and noise pollution was a gift
- the birdlife in Mana Pools was exceptional.
I am already planning my next visit!

Great experience
We did a Day safari-tour to the Selous game reserve from Zanzibar. Everything was good organized except at the airport ( there was a lot of chaos) but the safarit itself was a great experience. The tour guide was very kind and explained everything well. The lunch in the bush was very tastefull.

Safarilink Shuttle tour bus
Good company to commute from Hoedspruit to Pretoria and vice versa. The bus is confortable. The drivers are always nice, answering questions and making conversation.
Departure on time (unless waiting for other passengers).
1 to 2 breaks during the trip to go to the bathroom or buy something to drink/eat.
Price wise it is expensive for my budget as I'm a student, but overall I think the price is worth the service.
My only complain would be the departure time. From Pretoria it is only possible from 6/6:30 am, while departure from Hoedspruit is done from 10/11 am.
