Very thoughtful, professional, well planed in both Kenya and Tanzania.
Dominic was a very thoughtful, well organized planer for our 13 days trip in Kenya and Tanzania.
We enjoyed the trip very much, and our guides, Freddie in Kenya and Joseph in Tanzania both were very professional in Safari (we collected big fives and Cheetah, at the same time they taught us so many knowledges regards to the animal ), driving on route, and keeping us safe( was flooding at Serengeti and we need to cross the river safely).
We will definitely reach Kentau for our next trip for safari.

We just finished our amazing safari in Africa, and it was truly an unforgettable experience.
A huge thank you to our guide Harun—he was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He took us to see so many wild animals, and shared so much interesting information about the animals and the great migration. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
We also want to praise our chef Ali, who prepared delicious and carefully made meals for us every single day. The food was so good that I even gained weight after the trip!
Both of them took great care of us and always paid attention to our health and comfort throughout the journey.
This has been the most wonderful trip, and we really hope to come back next year around June or July for the great migration.
Highly recommended!

Unique experience with huge added value
We were on three day safari starting from Kampala including gorilla tracking and relaxing on lake buniyoni. Gorilla tracking is really very unique. It was very well organized and we enjoyed it a lot. Once in a life time experience.
During quite long time in the car to move from Kampala to Bwindi, we had a chance to see local life and the real added value was our guide Francis, who is very knowledgeable and he answered all the questions either about local life or nature. It was a real pleasure.
Thank you Francis

11 Days Safari - Extranight in Serengeti
Our 11-day safari was absolutely fantastic and truly unforgettable. Even though the rainy season had already begun, we experienced so many incredible moments and wildlife sightings, including all of the Big Five within just a few hours.
Whenever unexpected situations arose, Fiona was always there for us. From the very beginning of the planning process, long before the trip started, she communicated openly with us and always responded quickly. We immediately felt that she genuinely cares about her clients and about creating a supportive and trustworthy relationship.
Our driver and guide in Kenya, Brian “Mufasa,” impressed us with his exceptional driving skills and incredible endurance. At times, heavy rains and flooded roads made the journey more challenging, but he handled everything calmly and professionally. It became an adventure that felt truly authentic. Just as memorable as the many amazing wildlife sightings we experienced.
We would also like to thank Reuben, who guided us through the breathtaking Serengeti National Park. His driving skills were simply outstanding, better than anything we had experienced before. Calm, confident, and highly experienced, he always radiated a wonderful “Hakuna Matata” spirit that made us feel safe and relaxed throughout the journey. He generously shared his extensive knowledge about the animals and the ecosystem with us, sometimes even consulting his wildlife guidebook so we could identify what we were seeing together. We especially appreciated his genuine interest in exchanging thoughts and knowledge with us.
Thank you all for this priceless experience and for the countless touching and unforgettable moments.

Excellent care given to my wife and myself on a fantastic trip!
From the moment we were picked up at the airport to our departure a week later we were exceptionally cared for. The accommodations were wonderful and our driver Lawerence bent over backwards to make sure we had a pleasurable time. We felt safe with his driving and he was skilled at finding elusive animals. We saw all of the big 5 (multiple times over) as well as the ugly 5. This was a trip of a lifetime and I’m so glad we used Up Country Adventures! I’d recommend them to anyone looking for an incredible African safari.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Evan May
This was the first park we visited, and felt like it was a great introduction to doing game drives. We got to see plenty of elephant and giraffe.

We only saw a small fraction of the park in 2 days but its incredible and definitely a must see.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Evan May
With the smaller size of the park combined with being in a caldera, you get to see the animals interacting a lot. Hyenas and lions hunting, rhinos intermixed with the zebra and wildebeest, elephants roaming, etc.

Review about Arusha National Park by Lori Potvin
I saw so many animals the big 5 and more! Also lots of babies in the month of February. The Ngorongoro crater is breathtaking. Tarangire had an abundance of elephants, what a dream.
