An unforgettable adventure of a life time
My wife and I just finished a 10-day private safari in Kenya - and were stunned by the amazing diversity of the animals and beauty of the various national parks. Dennis was our tour consultant and we selected Morningstar based upon the prompt and detailed price quotations he provided and the ratings on SafariBookings. He adjusted the itinerary based upon our selected parks, Nairobi - Amboseli - Naivasha - Ol Pejeta - Samburu - Nakuru - Masai Mara. Overall, the itinerary was organized very well, good accommodations and included airport transfers. Thanks Dennis.
As to the parks themselves, they were even better than our expectations. From the views of Mt Kilimanjaro, elephant herds of Amboseli, the beauty of Naivasha, special 5 of Samburu, flamingos of Nakuru to the unique vistas of Masai Mara with the big 5 - unforgettable moments.
James was our guide for the trip. He is very knowledgeable about all the parks and wildlife, highly skilled in spotting different animals, and turned out to be a photography enthusiast who offered to take photos with the long lens from driver seat. He surely has an eye for taking great photos and certainly helped capture some moments that otherwise would not have been possible. Thank you James.
We ended up giving 4 stars instead of 5 due to certain aspects that Dennis and James could have done better. Given the road conditions and traffic, anticipated transit times between parks was too optimistic, would have appreciated advice to reduce some parks. James should have checked that the Land Cruiser sliding windows could be easily opened and showed us how to operate them on day 1 so that photos could have been taken easily without having to climb up on seats and take from the open top only. He should also have been punctual on pickups, not spend inordinate amount of time on phone during game drives and should have gotten our agreement to any changes to daily activities specified in the itinerary with us.
Overall, we had an unforgettable experience and would recommend Morningstar.

Amazing and unforgetable experience
Frank arranged a private tour for us 6 days on safari and the same on Zanzibar with boat beach and Stone Town visits. Both ur guides, Gabi on safari and Iddi in Zanzibar were amazing, knowledgeable, thoughtful and good fun to be with - nothing was too much trouble for either of them. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and 3 days in the Serengeti and then Stone Town, Prison Island Nakupenda Sandbank, safari blue, Mnemba Atol, snorkeling, boat trips and loads of seafood served on the beach, can't thank Kilimanjaro Unforgettable (Frank, Gabi and Iddi) enough for making our trip so amazing and truly unforgetable.

Michelle was extremely knowledgeable and made all our dream vacation come to life.
We were 4 veterinarians (ranging in age from 66 - 84 years of age). We had carefully researched options before contacting Michelle- we wanted several gorilla treks, a trek to see the golden monkeys, a tour of a chimpanzee refuge plus a visit with their veterinarian, a safari with lion researchers, a discussion with a mongoose researcher, and a visit to a gorilla doctors facility. All these were very specific and she came through with all of them and arranged sedan chairs for the treks for those of us who needed them. Did not know about the habituated gorilla family in Mgahinga and she suggested getting permits for there as well as Bwindi. This certainly was not "an easy canned tour", but Michelle listened carefully and tailored the trip perfectly for us. Michelle checked in with us regularly during the trip to make sure everything was going smoothly. She made all this happen within our budgets - Uganda is a real value for your money. After every adventure we all exclaimed that each one was even better than we had anticipated! Thank you Michelle for a trip of a lifetime!!!

Outstanding experience!
My wife and I did a 6 day safari in Rwanda and Uganda, which included golden monkey, chimpanzee, and gorilla trekking. It really was a trip of a lifetime! Simon, the owner, did a great job planning the itinerary, which included enjoyable accommodations and interesting activities. His exceptional communication leading up to the trip was much appreciated.
Isaac Habiyaremye, our guide/driver, was outstanding! He was incredibly helpful, was there for anything we needed, was knowledgeable about the animals and culture, and always made us feel safe. My wife and I both consider him to be a good friend after our week long adventures. I can’t recommend him enough!
In short, I highly recommend Amakula African Safari Company!

Great service
The communication via WhatsApp was excellent, both before departure and on the trip. I did the 2-day Hwange tour with them as well as the helicopter flight over the Victoria Falls for which they offered me a competitive price. I was a solo traveller and on two of the three Hwange safaris I was the only passenger. The guide was great. They were also found to be completely reliable: when I paid cash for the helicopter flight they didn't have change but they came to my hotel in the evening to give me the change and dropped me off at a nice restaurant!
