Amazing views of Mt. Kilimanjaro
I highly recommend this tour with Simon he’s an amazing safari guide. We started the drive very early morning since the park is quite far and we wanted to have a better chance of seeing many animals. Along the way we made a stop at a really nice souvenir shop. As we got closer to the park, we were able to clearly see Mt Kilimanjaro which was really exciting. The drive throughout the park was unbelievable. I saw a lot of animals just to mention; elephants and giraffes which are my two favorite animals. After the safari we stopped at the Ol Tukai Lodge campsite for lunch. The restaurant and camp was absolutely beautiful. We were given a tour of the rooms by one of the hosts, they are top notch with beautiful ambience. Before driving back to Nairobi we stopped at the Masai Mara village. I had the chance to interact with the community and experience their culture and day to day activities. Overally I rank this tour a solid 10/10. I don’t think it could have gotten any better. Safari Update Travels are the best!

EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!
I live in Kenya and have been to over 10 African countries doing safaris, but Uganda exceeded my expectations.
It is the only country where you can literary see all the primates under one roof the chimps, Gorillas not forgetting the big five, a boat ride in the Nile the Murchison falls, birdlife, the culture was amazing our guide Mustafa aka “Stephy” the bird spotter who could spot a bird more than a hundred meters away give you the name description and why it is found in that area, the vast Knowledge about the country, wildlife, conservation only to name but a few.
I would say this was and still is a safari of a lifetime which was well organized by “NZINZA HOSPIALITY” end of March from the 25th for a nine days safari.
Clean well-maintained vehicles, professionalism at its top most notch, attention to details, services offered right from the first to the last day they walk the talk and make sure that they deliver what they promised, I would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to do a safari in UGANDA and East Africa as a whole

An excellent experience in Nairobi, Kenya
I had a good experience with Hyrax Safaris team. The guide in Masai Mara Safari was very funny and smart!! I had the opportunity to view a rhino
The tour operator took care of everything as agreed before, she's been absolutely fantastic!
The trip was a wonderful experience for us. We had an excellent trip to Masai Mara. We did not face any single challenge in the entire trip. Everything was perfectly managed. Overall we're happy and wouldn't hesitate to do more adventures under the tutelage of the same travel agency. All in all the parameters enumerated above were well catered for.

Amazing honeymoon
Our safari with Williamson Adventures was great: from the first day I emailed them to the day they pick us up from the airport, over the briefing on day one till the very end, we had an amazing experience.
John, our guide with 5 years of experience in the Tanzania national parks, was the right person to travel with. At all times our guide gave us the feeling of being in safe hands, he was not getting tired of spotting animals for us even after 6 days straight, and he was a perfect partner for talks, either about the wildlife or anything else we were interested in.
Usually, the guide joins you for dinner except you are on honeymoon as we were. Nice concept.
Moreover, the Safari jeep was superb and accommodation was top notch
Thanks again!

Once in a lifetime experience on a honeymoon with amazing guide & chef
It was the best tour I have ever been on!
I was prepared for a lot of inconvenience on my first safari in my life, but almost nothing happened that I was worried about.
I thought there would be few toilets in the park or that we would not be able to sleep in tents, but to my surprise, there were several toilets in the park, hot showers at the campsite, and a small store where we could buy snacks (in TZS or USD cash). The guide was very proactive in looking for animals.
The guide was very proactive in looking for animals, and even though it was rainy season and difficult to find animals, we were able to see the BIG 5 except for the leopard!
He was also incredibly knowledgeable about the animals' biology and culture, and answered our questions and queries with aplomb. He never lacked our childlike "why?" curiosity was satisfied without missing a beat.
The safari itself was fascinating, but I think it was the individual experiences that the guides provided that made it such an exciting experience from start to finish.
It was the best first safari I have ever been on with a guide who was safe and reliable and had a great spirit of service.
When I think of safari, I think of camping.
To be honest, I had no expectations for the food, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The chef's cooking was amazingly delicious at every meal, and we were able to enjoy hot meals without missing Japanese cuisine.
At the last dinner, he cooked a pizza in a pan on the safari, which was also delicious...!
I will miss the food on safari.
I would like to go again when I have children in the future.
I would definitely refer this tour company to my friends, acquaintances, and family in Japan when they go on safari.
Next time I will book directly with the tour company!
I hope everyone who reads these comments will also make memories to last a lifetime!
<What I wish had been better
・I wish there was a lamp that could be hung from the ceiling of the tent to illuminate the inside and outside of the tent, since we were only relying on the light from our phones when we stayed in tents.
→ I wish I had a lamp that could be hung from the ceiling of the tent to light up the inside and outside of the tent.
・I wish there had been a newer binoculars for each person, because it was hard to see.
→ It would have been better if we could have had a pair of the latest binoculars for each of us.
・I would have been happy if the quality of the sleeping bags and mattresses had been improved to make our stay more comfortable.
