Wonderful trip and more than we expected
We just arrived back at home after great two weeks in Uganda and want to thank Speke Uganda Holidays (partner of our German agency Diamir Erlebnisreisen) for a great vacation. We experienced so much more than we expected, that we really can't name only one highlight of the trip. As we booked the tour, we thought Uganda ist special because of the Gorillatracking in Bwindi Impenetrable Nationalpark and Mgahinga Nationalpark and because of the Chimpanzeetracking in Kibale Nationalpark. But Uganda showed us so much more: for example the Murchison Falls Nationalpark with its impressive waterfall and wildlife we saw on a game drive and by boat. Just as special the crater landscape of the Queen-Elizabeth Nationalpark besides a interesting meeting with some hippos next to the road enjoying their mud bath. We also loved our stay at Lake Mutanda and Lake Mburo, where we faced some giraffes on a walking safari three meters away.
But our vacation wouldn't have been so special if our guide Robert hadn't taught us so much about his country. Because of that, we have to thank him a lot. He showed us pineapple-, banana- and teaplantations, explained us much about the agriculture, people and wildlife in Uganda and teached us some words in Swahili and Luganda. But we will certainly need more help with that. :-)
Asante sana Robert and Speke Uganda Holidays!

Perfectly organized with good proposals and good respond to our wishes.
In the planning phase we had a good and very responsive communication with Benson. Booking was easy and transparent. Marvellous Lodges/ Hotels, the final highlight was the Manyara Best View Lodge, an extraordinary location, spectacular view and very kind staff. Our Safari guide Ruambisa (?) Paulo was a very good driver, good animal finder, had a lot of knowledge about the regions, culture and animals. He made our trip a great and wonderful experience. Communication was easy in our mother tongue German. Thanks again!

Highest standards in personal communcation and excellent recommendations
From the start, Kathi provided excellent advice and communication. She was able to reply quickly, with detailed answers, to phone calls, messages and emails, full explaining circumstances around our upcoming tour. Her service was beyond our expectations. Whenever I called, at times out of hours, I could depend on her immediate assistance. Kathi personally recommended a safari at Kariega Private Game Reserve and booked return flights for us from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. It proved to be a most impressive lodge with excellent location, service, game drives, meals and drinks. At our room we were delighted to have giraffe, monkeys, kudus and warthogs visiting a waterhole just by our own terrace! Game drives were exciting with our knowlegable ranger who had much to tell us on each of two drives every day. The experience of the African countryside was breathtaking.
Kathi had organised everything, including private taxi transport to and from the reserve and Port Elizabeth airport. On our return she helpfully organised our car rental for the rest of our stay in Capetown, managing our paticular requests in her friendly and efficient way.
I can absolutely recommend 'African Welcome Safaris' to others considering a booking.

The tour of a lifetime!
African traits designed a safari that met our needs and provided us the comfort we desired. We ended up chartering into the park and starting the safari experience there. Our tour guide was responsible, ensured we were doing well, and safely took us in the parks. We could not have asked for a better guide. He was so knowledgeable too about not just the animals, but the environment, routes, and all the areas we visited. We never wondered or worried about a single thing. This was out third time into Serengeti and it was by far the best. The price charged for the whole tour was reasonable and we could not have asked for anything better.

They were very helpful, and enjoyed activities
The animals were amazing and the river sight seeing was very relaxed and pleasant. They seemed well organized and communication (in english) was never a problem with staff.

Review about Etosha National Park by Paula Moon
We did not see any of the big five in Etosha - however we absolutely loved the vibe. A very restful peaceful place
