Reliable local safari company with great service, fair prices, and unforgettable experiences.
We had an amazing and unforgettable safari experience with Peak Cruise Safaris, and I would highly recommend this local tour company to anyone planning to visit Uganda and Rwanda.
From the very beginning, Jennifer, the owner, was fantastic. She was extremely responsive and always answered all of our questions quickly. Whenever I had something to ask, she was there to help and provide all the information we needed. She also prepared and sent us the itinerary very quickly, which made planning the whole trip easy and stress-free.
One of the things we really appreciated about Peak Cruise Safaris is that it is a locally run company offering very reasonable and competitive prices without compromising on quality. We felt that we received excellent value for our money. The accommodations throughout our safari were beautiful, comfortable, and in many cases felt quite luxurious. The meals provided during the trip were also delicious and exceeded our expectations.
A very special thank you goes to our driver, Godfrey. He was extremely friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and always made us feel comfortable throughout the journey. Spending so many days together on the road, having such a great driver and guide really makes a difference, and Godfrey was a big part of why we enjoyed our trip so much.
We also had wonderful local guides throughout our journey, including at Volcanoes National Park, Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth National Park, the Kazinga Channel, and during our chimpanzee trekking. Every guide we met was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. They helped us understand so much more about the wildlife, nature, and local environment.
Jennifer, Godfrey, and all of the local guides truly made our safari an amazing and unforgettable experience. We had such a wonderful time and came home with so many great memories.
I would highly recommend Peak Cruise Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Uganda or Rwanda. You get a very good and reasonable deal together with excellent service, quality accommodations, delicious food, knowledgeable guides, and a very personal experience from a local company.
It was worth every dollar we spent. Thank you so much to Jennifer, Godfrey, and everyone who made our journey so special!

Nicholas was amazing from start to finish!
We have just finished a 3 night 4 day safari with Serengeti Smiles and I'm not quite sure how to put into words just how amazing it was! From the booking process, Francisca, was amazingly helpful, answering our questions and booking transfers at last minute from the airport. Our tour guide Nicholas was beyond incredible, informative, kind and helped us on a small shopping trip too. We saw more animals during our safari then we could have imagined thanks to him. The accommodations we stayed in, Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge then Serengeti Classic View Camp and then back to Ngorongoro Coffee Lodge and all 3 were outstanding. We came for our honeymoon and have left with the most amazing memories thanks to Serengeti Smiles and especially Nicholas. Thank you so much.

Memorable
We are a family of three adults, and this was not our first safari, so we arrived in Tanzania with high expectations — we know just how much of a difference a great guide can make, especially on an 11-day itinerary. From our very first emails, Gaspar and Joel at KLA Adventures were attentive and responsive while helping us plan the trip, and they entrusted us to Mohamed, who turned out to be a true leader: young, but remarkably experienced.
Mohamed guided us through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire for 11 days, and we loved every moment we shared with him. Driving on those roads is far from easy, yet he always made us feel completely safe, while also taking backroads whenever it meant a better chance of spotting more wildlife. His knowledge of these parks, together with his ability to spot animals, is exceptional, and he consistently positioned the jeep in just the right spot for photos, video, and simply taking in the animals in front of us.
We saw everything we had secretly hoped for, and much more, because nature never stops surprising you: a black rhino at dawn in the crater, together with a serval, valleys teeming with wildebeest, buffalo, zebras and antelopes, a couple of leopards in a valley with an almost primordial beauty, a cheetah, and a huge pride of lions feasting on a buffalo, among many other encounters. We are birdwatchers as well and enjoyed observing so many species in all different landscapes. In Tarangire we also got to experience both a night safari and a walking safari, which gave us a completely different perspective on the park and its wildlife.
Beyond the wildlife, we also wanted to connect more deeply with this beautiful country, so KLA arranged visits with the Maasai, Hadzabe and Datoga communities. Sharing their knowledge and traditions gave us moments we will never forget.
The tented camps we stayed in were all very well chosen, too, adding a lot to the overall experience.
Above all, we have to thank Mohamed for making the whole trip smooth and beautifully organized — we always knew what was on the program and understood exactly what we were seeing along the way. We would wholeheartedly recommend KLA Adventures, and Mohamed in particular, to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Great Experience with Meru Slopes
In August we went on a seven-day Safari with the company Meru Slopes. We first went to Tarangire National Park, before driving to the Serengeti National Park. The last stop was the Ngorongoro Crater, before we got back to Arusha.
All in all, there is to say that it was an unforgettable experience! We got to see all the animals we wanted to and more! Our guide Francis led us safely through the rough paths of the national parks and made sure our experience was perfect. When we didn’t get to see the Mara River Crossing on the day we were supposed to, he went out of his way to ensure we tried again the next day and we actually got to see the river crossing! He did a great job and we can definitely recommend going on a Safari with him.
The lodges were also mostly flawless and the service was impeccable. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming and made sure we felt comfortable at all times.
We also had a contact person in Arusha, Leonard, who organized everything we needed besides the Safari, like transport from and to the airport and when we contacted him via Whatsapp we always got an answer almost instantaneously.
The whole Safari trip was meticulously planned and safely executed by Meru Slopes. We can definitely recommend choosing this company for a Safari in Tanzania, if you want a great experience!

Good
Overall very good for this budget. Could see most of the big five and other major animals. The guide was attentive and very knowledgeable. I still wish he could get information from other guides for more unique animal seeing sites - the most of the safari tour was spent on driving and spotting similar animals. But overall I’m happy that I joined this journey.

Excellent execution
All in Africa Safaris guided us on the best activities, helped us with approximate budgets and bookings, and arranged transportation. They delivered consistently throughout our entire time in Murchison Falls National Park. Highly recommended.

An experience that stays with you: my safari in Kenya
The safari I experienced in Kenya was far more than just a trip; it was a direct encounter with nature in its most authentic form. From the very first day, as I traversed the endless expanses of the savanna, I felt as though I were entering a world where time moves differently—slower, and more real.

A truly unique experience
Sayiaton was an amazing guide. On our first safari day, we only had about two hours in the afternoon, but thanks to him we still managed to see so much! We saw a leopard, two male lions, two lionesses with cubs, and of course giraffes, wildebeest, gazelles, and plenty more.
On the second day, we had some incredible sightings, including a leopard eating its prey up in a tree, a hippo kill, and much more. We even got to see a cheetah! Sayiaton also tracked a rhino for us, but unfortunately it disappeared into hiding before we could get there.
Of course, wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, but Sayiaton always kept an ear on the radio and moved quickly whenever he heard about something happening nearby, giving us the best possible chance of seeing it.
On top of all that, he was always energetic, positive, and brought such a great vibe to the group. We enjoyed our safari so much with him, and everyone in the group agreed that he made the experience truly incredible.
Thank you, Sayiaton!
