Customer service was amazing. There was different types of animals such as lions,zebra,giaraffes and many more interesting animals. This is one of the best company’s i have ever visited in my life me and the kids had a lovely time and hope to visit again.

Once in a lifetime experience! Would highly recommend.
Evelyn and George (a local husband and wife team) made booking so easy and catered to everything we wanted from our trip. We booked a private tour (which i would highly recommend if your budget allows) and in comparison to other companies, was only a bit more expensive than grouped tours! We got airport pick up/drop off which was a bonus plus an extra night at the Arusha hotel so we could have a look around the town. They also came to see us at the hotel before we left on Safari to explain everything in person and also visited us on our return to check everything was ok, which i wasn't expecting. Great customer Service!
Our guide Hoza was AMAZING!! He has 10 years experience under his belt and has a relaxed, calm manner that i really enjoyed. Nothing was ever too much trouble, he always made sure we were ok...even if that means chasing a rather large Hyena out of camp, or stopping a cheeky monkey from trying to steal our lunch! Hoza has the best knowledge! He could answer every question, tell us every species of bird or antelope etc. He would pull books out so we could read up about what we had just seen and each night after dinner he would sit with us and chat about what we had seen that day. He was very patient with us constantly stopping to take photos and on the last day he managed to spot, adult male lions which was something i really wanted to see. Having him as our guide was a privilege and made the trip even more special.
We stayed in lodges, basic camping and tented camping, which i would recommend to get an all-round experience. Although basic camping will not be for everyone, as it is not the best night's sleep you'll ever have, but it is worth it to hear Serengeti come to life at night.
We got to see the big 5, a Leopard eating it's kill, a Cheetah and her cubs, Lions mating..I could go on! But the highlight for me was heading to the Northern Circuit where we got to witness the migration of the wilder-beast crossing the Mara river - around 8000 stampeded pass us...Just spectacular!

Organised, professional and responsive
I was so impressed with Natureways. Communication and responsiveness leading up to the safari was always timely and professional. The actual safari was very well organised with the guide being exceptionally knowledgeable and personable.
I will definitely use Naturways again for future African adventures.

South Africa's adventure
We went this august on a trip in South Africa for 10 days, going through private reserves and the famous Kruger parc : what an adventure !! Between the peaceful walks in the reserves looking for the animals, where nature really seems to belong only to you, and the animated jeep tours in the Kruger parc pursuing the big fives, it was an intense and emotional journey ! Besides the leopard which was a bit shy, elephants lions giraffes buffalos ... what didn't we see ? Even a lioness hunting for her cubs !!
Big thank you for our guide Thierry who knew how to communicate his passion for African nature and made us all have a pretty good time from beginning to end ))

Great trip, great driver
My brother and I travelled around Uganda for 10 days in a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado from Mumwe. It was my first time in Uganda so I wasn't really prepared for the road conditions (can be very bad) or the way that people drive here (most dangerous traffic I've ever seen). Fortunately our driver David was very alert, careful and not such an aggressive driver as some of the others on the road. He was also a great conversation partner, he taught us much about Uganda, and he remained professional, calm, flexible and relaxed under all circumstances. I was very glad that we hadn't decided to self-drive.
The car itself was good but a bit old, and the air conditioning broke down two days before the end of our trip. Not a big deal with the great weather we had, so we decided to just live with it.
If I go to Uganda again, David and Mumwe African Skimmer Safaris will definitely be my first choice.

The Best operator that we could have!
Everything about Best memory safaris was perfect. The communication from the beginning was really good and Issac the owner was very accurate and helpful. The program was made by our own needs and it was really well organized. The Driver Antony had a great experience and tried his best to please us. He was very pleasant and funny. I definitely recommend it.

Perfectly well organized
Best experience ever!
Ngoni Safaris Uganda provided us the best trip we ever had! We spent 3 weeks in amazing Uganda and the experience was incredible. The driver they provided us was very professional and we were very happy with him. The tour operator company also did a great job in arrangements and bookings, we didn't have a single problem in all the trip. I would totally repeat the experience and I recommend 100% this tour operator, totally worth it.

Excellent 3-day safari experience in a picturesque jeep for us four
There's a lot of competition when looking for safaris, but Uhuru stood out with their pricing, itinerary, details, and accommodations. We loved every second of our safari to Mikumi National Park and were so glad that Uhuru helped us. They were responsive through email and coordination on the day of our pickup. The jeep was perfect for the four of us, spacious and all to ourselves, with water provided and lunches during the day. Our driver was great and very knowledgeable. When we came upon the lions on the third day he let us spend as much time as we wanted watching them. We saw so many animals, four out of the big five, even a leopard and lions with 6 cubs! This park was great for a quick safari from Dar es Salaam and transportation was provided in each direction. With traffic the trip was more like 7 hours, rather than 3-4 as originally stated, but we were comfortable and watched the villages pass by. They suggested we stay at Stanley's Kopje, which was absolutely amazing with views of a watering hole and truly embedded in the park. I would gladly recommend Uhuru to anyone looking to safari! Thanks to the team and our driver, Endrick! I can't wait to go on another safari.

Great Safari!
I really at a great experience. The safari was incredible, our guide was perfect. We knew nearly everything. The food and the camps we stay were amazing. Also regardless of the safari, the agency has supported me and made everything possible. Doesn't matter if it was to buy a sim-card, habe a good day trip, help with bus booking etc.
I can only recommend Booking with them. There is really nothing bad I could say about my stay or their service.
