Chris was awesome! Accommodated us and willing to handle some special requests.
Faith was fantastic in her communication throughout the planning, Chris was awesome as I said. He went over and above expectations. We had the best vehicle of all I could see around us. I was able to show my elderly mother lions while she was on her couch thousands of miles away due to the ability to use the online WiFi!!

Review about Serengeti National Park by Brent Smith
Park is very large and open. Long drive out there . Seemed to take a while to find animals, but once we did they were great. Saw a good variety and ones we saw were rarer. Able to get very close despite staying on roads

Great safari, awesome guide,
The 4 day safari was amazing. Our guide Ed was great. He was able to get us to see every animal we wanted very close up. Very knowledgeable and friendly too. Lots of wildlife in all 3 spots. Very entertaining. Highlight was seeing a mama cheeta with 2 cubs. Soul of Tanzania was a great choice for the trip.

Our experience with encompass Africa was excellent.
Our Travel Assistant, Steph, from Encompass Africa, was fantastic to work with. There were ten of us travelling as a group and she, very patiently and efficiently, took care of all the various needs of our group as we split at the end of our Safari in Tanzania to go four different directions. She handled it all and the standard of communication was great. Nothing was too much for her. Highly recommended. We would definitely use her again!!

High quality Gorilla trekking experience with comfortable accommodations - exceeded expectations!!
We had a fantastic three day tour from Kampala to Rushaga (in Bwindi) and back with Simon from Encounter Africa Safaris. First, - Chris at the office was very helpful an responsive in arranging our trip.
The day prior to the trip - we were contacted by our guide and agreed to a 7am start time - and sure enough Simon was there at 6:50am despite unpredictable traffic in a very comfortable and solid 4x4 vehicle. We thought the 9 hour journey to Bwindi would be long, but on the drive through Uganda it was very interesting to see all the towns and villages along the way. Simon highlighted so many points of interest and all the different foods that grow in Uganda. Some highlights included a mini game-drive where we saw impalas and zebras and our stop at the Equator. We also spotted Uganda cranes. Overall - the drive felt more like part of the tour than a drive to get from point A to B.
When we arrived at our lodge (Rushaga Gorilla Haven's lodge) we found it was fantastic. The staff were welcoming and the view over the valley to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was amazing. The room itself was very nice and comfortable and the food was excellent!
Day 2 was our trekking day - we were lucky to get a great gorilla family with 3 silverbacks, 2 (or more) females and a number of children including one that was just a few months old). After our trek - the lodge staff took us for a walk around the village - it was fascinating to see Uganda life up close including a visit to an orphan school where the students performed some beautiful, moving songs for us.
Our drive back to Kampala on Day 3 was great too. Simon again pointed out interesting things and we made a couple of stops at markets along the way.
Thank you Chris and Simon for making the once-in-a lifetime gorilla trekking experience truly fantastic.

Excellent !
Just great! Emman runs a small company compare to his competitors, but that doesn’t stop him from delivering a top notch Safari! Him and his crew are really service minded and hard working people. We had the pleasure of traveling with driver Mike and chef John, both outgoing,kind and good at their jobs. If you’re looking for a great safari for a great price, this is the one for you!
