Well planned and executed
We booked a 7 Day Tremisana/Pumusa Kruger Hluhluwe and St Lucia Safari, 3 nights in Tremisana and 3 at Hluhluwe.
Pre booking - Patti, our main contact was brilliant. No question was too hard and all our queries got prompt responses. She was one of the key reason we opted for Viva safari of the numerous options available on the market.
Tour - Activities were carried out as stipulated on the brochure and whilst the operators juggled with the various groups and movements (behind the scenes), the program itself was carried out smoothly and always on time. You can rely on what they say you will get, at least it was our experience.
Facility Staff - Service with a smile. Pleasant, courteous and always willing to help. Dietary issues, no probs
Tour staff- knowledgeable in their roles and worked hard to ensure that sightings were given the best option. We saw plenty.
Facilities- Adequate, could do with a minor makeover, but nothing to complain about
In summary, we had a great ti e, met our objectives of the tour outcomes and we felt it delivered, hence ‘value for money’

Jesse was kind and took the time to give us the best experience possible
We managed to see the big 5 amongst plenty of other animals in our 3 day safari. Jesse was our guide and he was excellent. Took the time to find us any animal we had not yet seen and wanted to.

Great communication, great program, great guide (Brian)
We had an amazing 12-day trip with Wild Uganda. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
A special thanks to our guide, Brian, who was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure we had the best possible experience. His passion for Uganda really made the trip unforgettable.
It is such a pity that many travelers have cancelled their trips because of the Ebola situation. Based on our experience, we felt safe throughout our journey, and there was no reason for us to cancel. Uganda is a beautiful country with incredible wildlife, welcoming people, and breathtaking landscapes.
We highly recommend Wild Uganda to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari and adventure. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Unforgettable Safari
We just wanted you to know how wonderful our trip was. You and your entire staff went over and beyond what we expected. Jerome was the best! Everyone I met was so nice. I have to say out of every place we stayed the Nyumbani Camp was my favorite and that was entirely because of our hosts. I know lissa has recommended you to several people.

Professional
We were happy with everything because it was exactly as advertised. The Axis team communicated with us by Whatsapp and text to confirm the exact pick up time from the hotel. Our driver/guide was great. Jack was kind and very knowledgable about everything we asked during our safari. Everyone was friendly and we got to see and do everything that was displayed on the details page. I recommend Axis 100%.

Excellent communication, preparation and local knowledge provided by our tourguide.
Wild Uganda prepared our trip meticulously, communicated with us frequently and effectively and exceeded all of our expectations.
The accommodations were arranged according to our preferences and even though we understand the highlights of Uganda are oretty much already set out, we thought the entire safari was super diverse, interesting, and showcasing all the beautiful things Uganda has to offer.
Additionally, we had the pleasure of spending the entire time with our tourguide Brian. He excelled in knowledge and experience and was happy to answer all of our (many) questions abouy nature, culture, local habits, religion and many more. Moreover he is a pleasant, humble person to hang around with. He knew when to leave us at it, or when to join the conversation or meals. That takes good social skills.
He was fully committed to showing us as many animals as possible and we admired his sharp eye. Which led us to a close and totally unexpected encounter with some lions crossing a deserted path, and to a tree-climbing lion next to a path in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
He was never late, which for us as Dutchies is an important quality. He also knew exactly when we had to leave for a certain appointment and arrived everywhere in time. And perhaps even more important: he drove very safe and secure.
The accommodations were officially qualified ‘moderate’ as per our instructions, but all delivered very good value for money. Either because of their location, the food provided (all meals included) or the rooms itself.
We had one minor issue with an accommodation that provided only one power outlet in our room - which had to be ussed for the fan - and Brian immediately arranged an extension cable for us.
I am a very experienced traveller (female, 61) and I highly recommend Wild Uganda as Tour Operator. Make sure to ask for Brian as your local tour guide: you will thank me later!

Diligent, calm, knowledgeable and alert to all the animals… a joy!
I was so excited about this family trip and it didn’t disappoint…. It was the best trip of my life. Emanuel you were a joy to have as our guide. We saw the big five, the ugly five and countless other wonderful creatures in between! The scenery and animals were mesmerizing. You always had an answer for our questions , looked things up for us and also shared with Ellie (daughter)her passion for looking things up in our Wild Africa book. How you managed to track animals so brilliantly and drive the roads safely is very impressive! I loved the picnics you provided (best picnics of hearty cooked food laid out on a lovely tablecloth ) and the evening food and lodgings were great. The only think I wish is that it wasnt over. Thank you so much Emanuel for a truly wonderful and unforgettable experience .
