Absolutely amazing!!
Janet was absolutely incredible! She helped us to find the perfect trip for what we wanted to see and she worked within our budget. She helped us to answer so many questions before our trip not only about the Safari but about Nairobi and Kenya in general. She helped with so many of our arrangements and we were so happy with her service. I would recommend her service to anyone!

Fantastic safari to Murchison Falls to see the chimpanzees
A wonderful 4 day safari to Murchison Falls.
GoExplore took care of all the arrangements from collecting me at my hotel in Entebbe, to dropping me off at the airport. Moses, the guide and driver, was very knowledgeable and knew all of the top spots in Murchison where the animals were hiding out. We saw pretty much everything you could want from leopards to eagles and even chimpanzees. Murchison really is a stunning place to visit and somewhere I look forward to visiting again.
I would highly recommend GoExpore for your next trip in Uganda, they provide top notch service and really try and make the most out of every second of your trip so you don't miss anything. Brian and his team are doing a great job.

Everything was amazing, much more than our expectations!
Our holiday to East Africa was arranged by Andy Saidy from African Travel Consultants. From the start we felt that we are in safe hands, Andy was available to address our concerns and answer all our questions even over weekends. We cannot thank Andy enough for planning such an amazing itinerary to Kenya, Tanzania & Rwanda.

Fantastic, well organized, professional , knowledgeable and extremely friendly.
We originally booked this trip over three years ago pre covid and Mark from Shipungo kept in touch and updated during this time.
It has been well worth the wait it was an absolutely amazing experience. The four Shipungo staff that accompanied us were very knowledgeable helpful and fun. The food wasn’t good, it was amazing!
Would highly recommend Shipungo to anyone and would definitely use them again
Thank You Mark and your team.

An experience that will be difficult to top
Our guide (Gerry) was very knowledgeable and friendly. He helped tailor our perfect safari tour and made sure we saw all the animals.
All together an amazing adventurous experience that will be difficult to top! :)

Exquisite services offered
They had the best airport transfer services. They offered us reusable water bottles when we travelled and booked the best ocean facing rooms for us.

Great experience
Service was excellent! Kikutu was our driver and did an excellent job accommodating our family. He had to work with constant changes to the schedule because of other guests, but he handled it very well.

Excellent 11 days safari, great guide very knowledgable, amazing food and camp, we loved it!
We took a 11day/10 night safari with Shipungo going through several of the huge parks from the Kalahari desert to Chobe via the Okovango delta. Mark always responded to my requests and questions very fast and planned a very good tour for us. We had an amazing time, thanks to Kem, our guide, we saw many many many animals (lions, leopards, wild dogs, african wildcat, buffalos, hippos, girafs, elephants...) and lots of beautiful birds. Kem was very knowledgeable, identifing all birds we spotted, teached us a lot about the animals and how to recognise their fingerprints and sounds. Fortune and Aron took very good care of us on the camp, both Aron and Fortune made sure our camp was all set neatly and cooked for us the traditional bush way including bread, cakes, pizza! Delicious! The team was speaking very well english. We really loved our safari, enjoyed the adventure, the days with many encounters of all sorts and the nights chating with the team, learning few words of Setswana and looking at the stars. We definitely highly recommend them!

Once in a life time experience
We had the fortune of booking a safari with Safari Soles Tour and they transformed our experience in one in a life time experience. Bryson with is impeccable organization and Simon “The Safari Monster” with his top notch knowledge about the land, animals behavior and driving and planning skills. Thanks to him we were able to see all the Big 5 and we counted more than 16 different animals in one day!! The approach to them was always super respectful of them and their habitat. The Safari exceeded our expectations! We will keep this experience in our hearts and memories forever. With Simon we found a treasure and a friend! If there were one more thing I could do, it would be to go on safari once again With them!

Incredible adventure from the best tour operator!
In over 60 years of traveling across six continents I have never had an experience to match that provided by Silas and Eyezzoh of Apodiformes Adventures. We booked an 11 day private safari for Samburu, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo East/West. The service, friendliness, flexibility and availability at all times were beyond 5 star. Before and after the actual booking all queries were dealt with promptly and professionally. On arrival we were met by Silas where Eyezzoh was introduced as our driver/guide. As we departed Silas said to Eyezzoh, “…show them everything.” My word, didn’t he just!! Fantastic! Amazing!! We were treated to a visit beyond expectations with several extra stops at sites not advertised on the webpage. Amongst others a quick stop on the equator, a stop at a Masai village and a lovely stop at Hells Gate where one can take a bike ride beside the animals and home of the real Elsa the lion (the basis for ‘Born Free’). By now Eyezzoh was calling me dad and I calling him son such was his friendliness. We chatted about the safari and with his advice decided to change the itinerary to replace Tsavo West with Lake Nakuru. Silas was notified and he immediately made the necessary changes of accommodation and schedule. The change was seamless for us and extra special as we have a Kenyan friend with family in Nakuru. It’s worth mentioning that each of the parks chosen for us had a distinct character and frequently a unique species present. The extra expense and time needed to visit multiple parks is well worth it as is the private tour option. Aside from Lake Naivasha, two nights were spent at each location in a variety of accommodations. Staff everywhere were incredibly friendly and helpful often taking time to spend time talking to us or taking us on little walks. At Man Eaters Lodge the security chap took us down the river where hippo, crocodiles, lion and leopard can be found. Sadly our last day arrived and a last minute mistake on my part occurred where we needed to arrange an early morning transfer to the airport. Late on the Sunday afternoon Silas managed to organise the transfer. Hakuna matata! He also arranged our overnight stay in Nairobi with meal. Previously Eyezzoh, “the best guide in Africa”, had taken our van off to repair a fault while we had our dinner to avoid us missing any time the next day. Service from both the like of which we have never had the good fortune to enjoy previously. Incredible!! We cannot recommend Apodiformes any higher for any African adventure and would certainly go straight back to them. Asante sana Apodiformes!!
