Client oriented
Our party of 3 three requested to be accommodated at very short notice. It was high season but Diana (our Ugandan tour operator) left no stone unturned to secure our spots to track gorillas in the Bwindi Forest. She continually kept us updated on WhatsApp and provided much needed information on what to expect weather-wise and what to pack. From the moment that we were picked up at Entebbe Airport and taken to our hotel in Kampala to when we were dropped at our hotel again after the road trip, we were treated in the most friendly and professional way. And yes, we had the wonderful opportunity to engage with a gorilla family! We learned so much about Uganda from our kind and friendly driver. Our accommodation on the way to Bwindi and back was well-organised and very comfortable, providing authentic African experiences. Diana furthermore organised a Kampala tour and joined us on an unforgettable trip to the origin of the Nile in Jinja. On the way there and back she shared fascinating stories and interesting facts about Uganda and its people. To Myler Africa Safaris, it seems to be all about tailor-made tours to ensure an awesome once-in-a-lifetime experience for each of its clients.

Amazing experience! 100% recommend - our guide (Ezekiel) and cook (Khamis) were so good
Amazing experience! 100% recommend - our guide (Ezekiel) and cook (Khamis) were such a reason why as they took us on so many great drives to see animals and the food was incredible. The organization worked well too and there were no issues at all. You will not regret doing this!

Fantastic well organized safari with excellent locations
Fantastic well-organized safari with excellent locations but the biggest thanks go to my guide Mirambo who, thanks to his experience and ability, showed me all the animals, even the unobtainable rhino. Mirambo capable person, excellent guide and driver. Joyful and heartfelt person. Thanks also for the magical birthday you arranged for me in the serengeti. Thanks Mirambo

Best safari experience
We did a five day safari, which was incredibly well organized from the day we booked it to the end of the tour.
Our guide, Norton, knew everything about the animals. We saw many lions, elephants, hippos, even 3 leopards and a rhino!!! Our cook, Suleman, cooked the nicest food for us. Some other groups only got sandwiches for lunch, but we always got something freshly cooked. Our lodge was very nice and the tents were big. Mattresses and sleeping bags were provided.
All in all we were very happy we chose Colours of Africa. Asante sana!

Best 5 days ever
We did the luxury 5 day tour for our honeymoon and couldn't be more happy about it. Rocky was our guide and he was constantly explaining different facts about the animals we would see, always trying to surprise us (asking us to close our eyes before we would get to a spot) and always had an answer to our questions.
The hotels picked by Suricata for our stay were amazing as well, with great views, amazing rooms and incredibly helpful staff.
Loved every minute of it!!!

Fabulous safari company with excellent service from start to finish.
From the very first communication with a Lion King representative in their office to our wonderful safari guide Immanuel, there is nothing more to say but book your safari experience with this company. Immanuel was nothing but brilliant with his excellent knowledge, ensuring we saw all of the animals, which also included a rare and wonderful sighting of the endangered black rhino with her baby. Immanuel never failed in getting us the best photo opportunities. Some advice would be to ask for Immanuel if you can as your guide! We stayed in some excellent accommodations, including the Arusha Coffee Lodge and the Lemala Nanyukie in the Serengeti. Thank you Lion King Adventures.

Passionate for nature
Beautiful 5 day trip, everything went super well, our driver Rocky was very knowledgeable with great introductions to the places we were and the animals we would see, would stop at our convenience, he would spot animals while driving that we couldn't see while standing up on the truck.
Honestly this is the trip and package if you are on your honeymoon, there's nothing quite like it, from the variety of fauna and flora, the wildly different landscapes, to the gorgeous hotels and villas we slept in.
It's beautiful, breathtaking and we're definitely going to do it again with suricata safaris!

Great experience in Ruaha
Great value for price. Right from the beginning the communication was great with Mansoor Mohamed, friendly but also professional. We needed to make adjustments to our tour dates short before our trip, which he kindly arranged without any problems. Our tour guide Serafino was amazing. His English was great and he had a lot to tell about the environment and animals all throughout our journey. In the beginning of our safari there was a problem with our car but he found creative ways to work around it and we still got the full safari experience we payed for. Our meals were always at a restaurant in the campsite, delicious and big portions. The bandas and the restaurant are located right next to the Great Ruaha River, so you get to observe many animals from there already. During our safari we saw giraffes, elephants, zebras, buffaloes, crocodiles, hippos, dikdiks, antilopes, warthogs, eagles, a big pride of lions and a leopard. I did see more animals in total in Serengeti-Ngorongoro, but we preferred to come to Ruaha at this time of the year since the national parks in the North get very crowded and in the end in Ruaha we never felt like it was crowded, was most of the time the only car next to the animals and got to see some of the animals a lot closer than I did in the North.
To me this was a perfect honest safari experience. I have two other experiences of safaris in different locations in Tanzania, and this was the most pleasant experience I had with a company. Serafino took great care of us, even helped us with getting bus tickets in Iringa and Baobab seeds from the market. I would highly recommend working with this company!

Fantastic Kenya-based operator
We have just returned to the UK after an amazing holiday with Morning Star. When we booked, we had wanted to use a Kenya-based operator rather than a UK based one and were really impressed with Morning Star - and also their quoted price was was way less than any other companies too! Robert very patiently tailored our ever-changing itinerary plans - thank you so much!
All the hotels and lodges in Nairobi / Masai Mara / Nakuru / Amboseli / Tsavo / Diani Beach were great - we particularly recommend : Sarova Panafric in Nairobi, Ziwa Bush Lodge in Nakuru, and Papillon Reef at Diani Beach.
Our drivers for safaris up to Masai Mara / Nakuru and then to Amboseli / Tsavo were fantastic - prompt, knowledgeable etc - especially Alex who also drove us around Nairobi on a 'memory-lane' tour, to friends homes and came along to church with us on Sunday too!!
Thank you Morning Star - we have no hesitation in recommending you to other travellers - top, top service!!!!
