DO BOOK a UGANDA/Rwanda visit with Kenneth at ADYERI for an amazing personalized safari adventure.
5/5

We just returned from an amazing African safari trip in Uganda. Kenneth at Adyeri provided extremely helpful information in the planning and execution of a safari in Uganda. Initially, I was only interested in the gorilla tracking. I am so grateful Kenneth helped plan each stop of our 9 day trip from a fun Entebbe stay at Lake Victoria beach, to Kibale chimp tracking, to Queen Elizabeth Park with fantastic African Savannah AND river animals, then on to gorilla tracking in Bwindi. Kenneth totally encouraged us to try Bwindi, even though we are seniors. Gorilla habituation worked great and we also had an excellent driver-guide, Brian, who cared for us every step of the way. We SO enjoyed the friendly people of Uganda and their willingness to share their culture. It was a bonus for us that most Ugandans speak English and many establishments were willing to take US dollars. Over all, we enjoyed a fabulous adventure in Uganda-- totally due to Kenneth's help with planning and completion of the journey. Adyeri was very reasonably priced, especially considering the amount of personal attention we received.
KUDOS and THANKS to Kenneth!!!

Unforegettable holidays
5/5

I have been very lucky that I have chosen the Encounter Africa Safaris Ltd to organise my trip to Bwindi National Park. Everything was better than I expected (accommodation, food, transport, customer service) Two young gentlemen from the company Tyson and Patrick as well all staff from Rushaga Gorilla Haven’s Lodge plus Chris from the office made every day of the tour very special. I only can say that words cannot describe the lovely time I have had. I would like to recommend all travellers the Encounter Africa Safaris Ltd for any tour or safari in Uganda. You will not be disappointed. That’s for sure. Wish you all to have such a great holiday as I have had in Uganda.

Great Uganda trip with Home To Africa
5/5

We were looking for a travel agency that is not only based in Uganda but also belongs to locals. We found Home To Africa!
Already on our first mail we received within one hour a detailed answer from Elias (Head of Home To Africa) and it was not
long and we had an individual tailor-made itinerary, which corresponded exactly to our expectations due to the valuable hints
and tips from Elias. That was first class! In the beginning of February we started and met our guide Tony, who led us through
Uganda for three weeks. Tony has a great knowledge of almost everything, he's a great driver and a very nice companion to
travel with. Thank you, Tony!
Our trip was great in every way. Very nice and friendly people, great landscapes and an outstanding flora and fauna. Chimpanzees
and gorilla tekking were just two of many highlights. Home To Africa did a wonderful job, from organizing the trip, choosing beautiful
lodges, to finding our forgotten clothes. Absolutely great again!
We have been traveling for 20 years and worked with many travel agencies, but Home To Africa deserves a special commendation.
This was not our last trip to Uganda (Rwanda, Tanzania) and we looking forward to further planning with Home To Africa.

But there is another important thing! Already during our trip, we noticed that Home to Africa has taken into account many social projects
and a large part of the travel price is donated to charitable institutions. For this we another star!

We thank Elias and Tony and of course all the other colleagues of Home To Africa! See you soon!

Breathtaking!
5/5

Craig and his team at Southern African tours took really good care of us. They handled every aspect of the planning of our trip, which eliminated any anxiety that we had of travelling to an unknown destiny. They also put in a lot of effort to tailor make our trip to suit our budget and our wish-list of places to visit. Whilst the tours are set out with a specific itinerary, they had absolutely no problem tweaking and adjusting our travel programme.
Craig’s hosting and guiding skills are excellent. He made us feel at ease and was very knowledgeable on every aspect of our tour. There was never a concern about our safety, or that an unforeseen glitch would spoil the trip for us. It’s been a truly breath-taking and educational experience and we highly recommend Southern African tours to anybody who wants to travel to Africa. We will be homeward bound in the next two days with happy memories and smiles.

Unforgettable experience
5/5


Soul Of Tanzania has confirmed the excellent reviews on the internet sites proving to be a tour operator ready to satisfy my every desire since the planning of the trip that included both safari and sea stay in Zanzibar. They always responded to my emails promptly. I discovered with great pleasure that our guide, Daniel, speaks perfect Italian that made the safari experience even more engaging. It has proved to be an exceptional guide, very prepared on the behavior of the animals and an excellent knowledge of the birds also, has a glance out of the ordinary. The vehicle we used for the safari has proven safe and reliable with all the comforts. I also confirm the winning choice to serve hot meals for lunch instead of packed lunches. Thanks to Soul Of Tanzania I lived with my wife an unforgettable experience without any unexpected events

nice Kilimanjaro trip
5/5

my friend with me(33 and 35 women, not very strong) went to Kilimanjaro Machame route 6days with adventure(kilimanjaro safari).the guy in charge Castro Kapela is very good. the guide HONEST is very professional, he help us went to the top. guide assistant Mr Peter is very good too.



we are not very strong, and we do not exercise regularly. so we don't have confident to the top.



Machame route 6days is very hard, i strongly recommend Machame route with 7days, it's more time to adjust yourself.

day1 is easy, hiking in rainforest. from about 1800m to 3000m, about 5 hours.

day2 is harder than the first day. less tree, and more rock, some time have to climb with hands. from about 3000 to 3850(shira camp), about 5 hours. It's the shortest time all the tour.

day3 is very hard. long way, up and down. from3850 to 4600(lava tower) to 4000(barranco camp). about 8hours.

day4 is also very very hard. long way, difficult to climb(especially barranco wall). 4000 to 4100(karanga camp, if Machame route 7days, you will stay in this camp. it's better to take a break.) to 4600(barafu camp)about 10hours(lunch break 1 hour). we arrived barafu camp about 4pm, after dinner, we got a short sleep,then wake up in 11pm, and start climbing to the top in midnight(12am).

day5 is the hardest day. it's very cold and sleepy. we followed the line and keep moving slowly. from 4600-the top. we used 8hours, yes we were slow, but we did it.

after that, from top-barafu camp, about 2 hours. then have a rest, went to high camp 3950, about 2 hours. totally 12hours.

day6 is very easy. from high camp to Mweka gate 1640, about 3 hours.



tips: bring a vacuum cup, it's very useful day5.

use 7days is better than 6days.

a private toilet is comfortable.

a professional guide is very very important, my guide Honest is very good.

Adventures with Chimpanzees
5/5

I was very impressed with the communication before going on the Safari. Our contact in the office was prompt and very easy to communicate with about our Safari desires.

Our guide was a great driver and went out of his way to make sure we saw all the animals we wanted to see. He was accommodating and easy to talk with.

I enjoyed our location of lodging, the Simba Safari lodge was really quaint and the staff were so friendly.

I had an amazing trip with Uzuri, ThankYou so much for everything.
