Amazing Country and wild life...this is the real Africa
We had gone to Uganda to mainly see the gorillas, we hesitated between Congo, Rwanda and Uganda. Rwanda and Congo are three times more expensive than Uganda to see gorillas. There is more wildlife park in Uganda, and we have been impressed by the number of animals and landscapes. our safaris have all been magical, the country is welcoming and you will discover the real Africa, much better than Tanzania and Botswana, too touristy and Europeanized. it is planned that we will return to Uganda.
Or next travel is will be in may , Zimbabwe

Review about Tanzania by loddeur
We found everything we were looking for. With a good guide, I think it is hard to get a better safari experience. It feels like you are in the documentaries.

Fantastic experience. wildlife. food and scenery
We really enjoyed and the experience we cannot express in words. Watching the wild animals in their natural habitat was an experience. Weather was nice, food was great, all the accommodations exceeded our expectations especially Tsavo west. The water hole behind our lodge,in Kiluguani lodge, was busy whole night and we did not feel like to go to bed. In Masai Mara, Osero Camp, was inside the park and during night we could hear the killing and the struggle and the fights. Our tour guide Paul, Tukio safaris, was awesome. He took all the troubles to show us all "big five". we were very fortunate to see all only because of Paul. Only regrets is we couldn't see the river crossing.

Safari, cruises and waterfalls in Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana
A brilliant experience and excellent service from start to finish. We received useful and prompt information from Compass Odyssey to decide on our trip and plan things accordingly. The guides were all knowledgeable and friendly, and all the lodges we visited were similarly helpful and very pleasant to stay in. The rhino walk, river cruises and safaris all ran like clockwork and a huge variety of wildlife was on display. I would wholeheartedly recommend Compass Odyssey to anyone considering a visit to Southern Africa.

Our best holiday ever!
This trip exceeded our expectations! We feel lucky to have had Amir as our guide, and he really made us feel special. His love for, and knowledge about all the animals, culture and Africa is impressive. We felt that he was going out of his way to make sure we experienced as much as possible. It shows that he loves his work!
Chris drove us around in Nairobi and to the airport and even walked us in. Also a very friendly man, who gave us so much history and information.
Every pick up, all papers and all our communication with the guys from Classic has been excellent, and we would recommend Classic Journeys to whomever, without a doubt!! :-)
THANK YOU!!

I would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone!
The tour was fantastic! I'm glad I chose Spirit of Kenya to be our guide in Kenya. Our minivan was very comfortable for us. Our guide (Franco) made sure we saw everything! He was extremely friendly, knowledgable and humorous. He never got tired even when my father asked him (in 20th time) about the difference between male/female horns in gazelles. We were very lucky to have Franco. We enjoyed Africa's nature and we will definitely come back some day. I would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya to anyone!

A Perfect 3-day Safari
We did a 3-day safari from Nairobi to Mombasa with Natural World Kenya Safaris in July, 2019 and our experience was excellent.
Communication before the safari worked very well and the company even offered to pick us up from Nairobi airport a day before the safari.
The safari itself was an unforgettable experience and everything had been well planned. We visited Amboseli and Tsavo East National Parks and saw a lot of animals, e.g. lions, giraffes, hippos & elephants. We stayed in two different lodges (Amboseli Sopa Lodge & Ashnil Aruba Lodge) and they were very good, with tidy rooms and nice pools.
Our driver/guide Kennedy was professional and friendly. He was very good in spotting animals and explaining us more about them.
I can highly recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris based on my experiences.

4 great safari experiences with Doug Macdonald Safaris
4th safari, July 2019 - Doug's company merely served as a booking agent for Tswalu in South Africa. His price was hundreds of dollars less than going direct. Wonderful trip.
3rd safari, Oct 2017 - Doug led 4 of us (all friends) in Kafue, Zambia for 12 nights. Fantastic! Excellent sightings on land and water.
2nd safari, Oct 2016 - Doug led 3 of us friends who were joined on and off by another 1 or 2 people for groups no bigger than 4 in Chitake, Chikwenya, and the floodplains of Mana Pools in Zimbabwe on a trip that spanned from about 12-20 days, for the various participants. He made some tricky connections work as members joined in and then spun off to do their own thing. Doug had us in the right place at the right time for the wonders of Mana Pools. Doug also arranged a second fabulous canoe camping safari along the Zambezi with Natureways guides.
1st safari, Sept 2015 - Doug led 3 of us friends in Chitake and Mana Pools in Zimbabwe on a marvelous safari, most of it walking. He also arranged a great deal for me using Natureways guides to do a canoe camping safari along the Zambezi. And he made all the arrangements for me to visit Save Valley in Zimbabwe for outstanding wild dog viewing prior to the canoe.
Whether Doug was leading the group or making the arrangements, everything went splendidly.
