21 Days Grand Uganda Rwanda Safari
I had a truly wonderful 21 day safari with Bugoli Adventures. It was a last minute decision to visit Uganda and Rwanda. Without much preparation time, the booking process was still very personal. Michael has put together the perfect itinerary taking into account my preferences: a mix of different wildlife and cultural experiences as well as some hiking activities.
My safari then started at the airport in Entebbe, where I was picked up by Michael and my guide Silver. Silver was absolutely great: As a very experienced driver, he knew all the best routes and made my trip safe and comfortable. In addition, he has eagle eyes and could spot wildlife from a great distance. So I saw all the Big Five and collected a lot of amazing photos. My personal wildlife highlight of the trip was definitely visiting the gorillas in Bwindi.
As a solo traveler, I opted for budget accommodations to cut down on my expenses. However, the accommodations selected by Michael really exceeded my expectations: the rooms were spacious and clean, mostly with a great view. Ideal for relaxing after a long day of driving. The 3 course meals at their restaurants were delicious. The meals were carefully selected in personal consultation with their chef.
In closing, I would like to highly recommend Bugoli Adventures to help you create an unforgettable safari experience.

Ute is a pleasure to work with!!!
We recently returned from our second safari booked through Ute. As with our first trip in 2018 to South Africa, Botswana and Zambia, Ute provided a wealth of information and wonderful recommendations for our trip to Kenya and Tanzania. Ute was always prompt and courteous when replying to our numerous emails. We would not hesitate to use Ute again!

Smart Voyage and Safaris are very Knowledgeable, helpful and work with the community.
The sun was finally out after almost 3 months of the cold weather. My mum had suggested we go for an holiday but we never settled for a time till last month. Smart Voyage has been our travelling agent for almost 2 years now so they planned our 3 night holiday to Diani. We stayed at the breathtaking Sands at Nomad Hotel. Being a wine person I enjoyed the extensive wine collection from the owner's wine cellar. The food was so good that it was almost impossible to stop enjoying. Our second day had to be the highlight of our trip. We went scuba diving, this is was one of the best experiences,we got to see the beautiful marine life as we interacted with the local communities.We were so impressed that the hotel promotes sustainability by supporting the Diani Turtle project, a local organisation aimed at protecting fragile marine life. We enjoyed the dinner by the ocean as well. The rooms were absolutely fantastic ! Time went by so fast we didn't even realise it. Our overall experience was so smooth and relaxing. We definitely got what we needed. Asante sana Smart Voyage team.

Amazing!
My trip with Big Apes Africa is definitely one that will stay on my mind. This trip was organised on short notice with the help of one of the Safari experts at their office in Kampala and within just two weeks, everything was sorted.
Our guide Peter is only knowledgeable but the friendliest I have met.
Without a doubt, this company gave me value for money and more!!!

An amazing trip to the Mara!!
Being a solo trip you'd think I was bored but nevertheless. My trip was far from boring. Spent 3 nights at the luxurious and exclusive Lalashe Mara. Located at the edge of Maasai Mara. The camp has only 5 tented camps, very spacious. My suite had a private plunge pool that was definitely a plus. Not to mention the outdoor showers and sunbeds with umbrella shades. Woke up a bit earlier on the second day to enjoy the hot air balloon. Breathtaking ! Loved every second of it. I later got to enjoy a bush breakfast then an amazing game drive. Got a chance to see 4 of the big five. My day ended with some nice outdoor dinner. On my last day I visited a nearby Maasai Vilage. Got to interact with the Maasai learning a few interesting facts about them. Got a few souvenirs before heading back to the camp. My trip was well planned to best maximize on the time I was there. This is was my third trip with Smart Voyage and as always they delivered!

AWFUL
I'm glad this company is no longer allowed on here as in our opinion we have been scammed. Unfortunately I had purchased a safari with them before they were taken off of here. I'm so upset!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has ruined my honeymoon entirely and am out about $2600 Canadian. Please be more careful when choosing tour companies that can advertise on here.

Very patient and friendly
I travelled with Ahava to Masindi Queen Elizabeth National Game park in Uganda, we stayed at Simba lodge which was reserved by Ahava to suit our budget. We also went on a board cruise for about 2 hours and had a game drive and we literally saw lions hunt for pray to the point they were eating. It was a very fulfilling experience.
In just two nights, we had done so much for the little time.

Very good experience!
An amazing tour in Tanzania! We loved the experience,
We travelled for our honeymoon, and it was an incredible 4 days of safari. The guide (Simon) was very nice and helpful.
We visited Ngorongoro Crater (1 night) and Serengeti (2 nights). It was possible to see a lot of animals, in Ngorongoro we didn't expect to see a lot of animals but surprisingly for us we saw many up close. Serengeti was also great but a bit different from the crater, since it is so big, we saw more animals but more widespread.
The organization was fantastic, José helped us a lot with the itinerary before we booked with SoT. In the night that we stayed in Arusha (before the safari) José informed us that it had occurred an overbooking for our hotel for the next night, but when he informed us, he already had a solution, and everything worked out for the best and the hotel was incredible!
Thank you for everything!
We recommend a lot SoT

Wonderful safari memories thanks to Easy Travel & Tours
After doing extensive research, we selected Easy Travel as the local tour operator for our tailor-made, 7-day safari and were not disappointed! From start to finish (including a pandemic in between!), Hellen provided prompt, exceptional, professional service, and no request was too big or small. We stayed in Tarangire National Park for two nights, Ngorongoro Crater for two nights, and central Serengeti for three nights - and all of the accommodations were well-located, extremely nice and served delicious food! Our driver/guide, Dennis, was fantastic throughout, very knowledgeable, and even though he’s done this many times before was still as excited as us to see the animals (and we saw many)! Thanks to Easy Travel, we managed to see the big five, have the trip of a lifetime and take home special memories of Tanzania. Asante sana!!!
