Absolutely Fabulous East Africa Tour Experience, Usoke Explorers made us feel like family!
My boyfriend and I traveled with Usoke Explorers through Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. We had a fabulous experience with Usoke Explorers, in particular its founder and owner, Andrew. Before our trip, he spent a lot of time working on our itinerary and adjusting it to our needs and desires, even significantly cutting costs for us wherever he could. On the trip, he made us feel like family right from the start; we were always laughing and having fun. Additionally, Andrew knew sooo much about the various cultures, villages, parks, and animals and shared with us a lot of his knowledge. It was so clear that Andrew loves what he does.
In addition to Andrew, the other local guides and drivers that took us on our Safaris and drove us all day from place to place were ALL fabulous. Steven who drove us for a couple days in Tanzania was really kind, knowledgeable and fun to talk to. Medad, who was our guide on the Tanzania safaris was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, he was so thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable, and passionate, and proactive; you didn’t have to ask him to move closer or get a better view of the animals, he just did it and he always knew where to find the hard to spot animals. Next, Washington was our driver and guide in Kenya. He was very fun to be with, always joking around but also teaching us so much about Kenya and the various cultures and animals within it. We greatly enjoyed our time with him and felt we learned a lot. Finally, Allen drove 8 hours from Kampala to meet us with the car at the Ugandan border only to take the public bus back that night as we continued onto Sipi Falls, we weren’t with him for long but we enjoyed the time we spent with him and are so grateful for his time and help in ensuring a smooth journey for us.
Overall, Andrew and his team catered to our every need, including calling hotels ahead to let them know my food allergies and ensuring we were comfortable and happy with our beds and showers.
Andrew can take you anywhere and do pretty much anything in East Africa for a good price! We were in great hands and I can’t recommend Andrew and his team enough!

Can not recommend more!
We booked a private safari with Wild Portraits Safaris for Nairobi National Park and three days in the Masai Mara, and if you are looking for a serious, trustworthy safari company in Kenya, look no further.
James was my main point of contact and made everything easy from start to finish. He was responsive, reliable and made sure the whole trip ran smoothly.
Richard was our private guide and he was exceptional. He was always on time, extremely knowledgeable, a fantastic driver and clearly very experienced. As a photographer, I really appreciated that he also understood what makes a good photo and knew exactly how to position the vehicle for the best opportunities.
Because it was a private tour, we had the flexibility to spend more time where it mattered and avoid the crowded areas. Richard knew the parks incredibly well and often took us to quieter, more remote spots that most tourists simply did not reach.
One of the highlights was finding a pride of around 15 lions in a remote part of the Mara. Over three days we easily saw the Big Five, along with a huge amount of other wildlife.
The whole experience felt personal, professional and never rushed. If you want a private safari, especially for wildlife photography, I would recommend Wild Portraits Safaris without hesitation.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Alessandro C
Best bush camp experience ever, in the middle of Serengeti, surrounded by hunting lions by night!

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Krisztina
Not all the area is accessible for visitors, so some animals you only see from far...but amazing scenic beauty! And can be lucky and see rhinos, lions etc up close
Can be crowded in high season

Awesome experience
We spent 4 days/3 night safari with Vision Safari Tour, and we visited: Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti.
We really enjoyed the beauty of wildlife in the national parks. We saw the Big Five very close to our land cruiser. Spending the night in the bush camps of Serengeti and Ngorongoro has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. We were surrounded by animals, and we could see and hear them.
I strongly recommend to visit Tanzania’s National parks!

Amazing wildlife, well organised safari with great facilities
We had great experience viewing wildlife, see all we wished for, from hippos to lion and rhino..In Serengeti you have possibility to drive around without meeting other tourist even in high season.
Lodges was very nice, great food and choices. In all the parks and on the road you have clean, good facilities.
Everything is well organised and tourists ate well catered for whatever they wish to expreience.
