Reliable.
We did a 4-day safari, covering Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Manyara. I would say that 4 days is more than enough, beyond that it becomes tiring. The guides were always kind and helpful. The lodges booked were always well organized and comfortable.

Kenyan Safari
It was a nice experience and budget friendly. No additional or hidden charges. Benson from Tall MASAI SAFARI organised the package for us. We saw all the animals that we want to see. Thanks for the wonderful experience. Hakuna Matata..

A quick visit with amazing experiences to friendly, beautiful Uganda
Only having 3 days to see as much as possible, I opted for 1 day of relaxing on the shore of Lake Victoria where I enjoyed the view, discovered a multitude of birds (I am a birder) and met very friendly people. The next day I puttered along the narrow channels of the Mabamba Swamps to try and find the elusive Shoebilled Stork. Sadly, it was not to be, but I saw so many other birds including a couple of lifers. This is a highly recommended outing. Yona from Shoebill Safaris then drove all the way to Budongo Forest in Murchison Nat. Park for me to go Chimpanzee tracking with a ranger. What a magic experience! After a long trek through the jungle we eventually found 28-30 chimps and got very close to one of them. Definitely an unforgettable experience but you must be fit. Before sunset we viewed the Murchison Falls and carried on to the Hornbill Lodge where I was treated like royalty. Very early the next morning I saw a pride of lions on a fresh cob kill, a leopard in the grass, many elephants, giraffes and buffalo as well as various antelopes and birds. By lunchtime I was on a cruise boat chugging along the Nile, stopping for lovely sightings of crocodiles, hippos, elephants and many birds. Late that evening due to the incredibly bad traffic conjestion I was back in Entebbe for my very early morning international flight.

Review about Budongo Forest by Astrid EM
It is an incredible experience to be utterly alone in a jungle! Only the ranger an I trekked for over an hour along very narrow paths, sometimes not even along a path. No sound except the odd rustling. I saw a lot of butterflies but no birds or animals until we found the troop of chimpanzees. We spent a good 45 min to an hour with them which was very special. Eventually they moved off and so did we. Unforgettable!

the safari was really good. we could see all the animals desired. it had a good atmosphere and the g
the choice of hotel was perfect. very nice personal setting welcoming impeccable bedding. there is nothing to say about the comfort of the hotel. on the other hand as far as food is concerned there are no varied dishes and we usually stay on our hunger.
the KIKITU guide, this guy... he is of incomparable depth. he is really a good helpful and always on genrtil. he knows how to put people at ease and is always at the care of others. it is my favorite of the adventure.
Being French-speaking we were able to adapt thanks to him. it was a magical and beautiful adventure.

Must visit one time in your life
Decent experience in case you have adequate expectations. Some people were disappointed as they expected to see all animals but that was not the case for everyone

Excellent
For this once in a lifetime experience, you want everything to go as smoothly as possible which it did for our family of five, much to the credit of our guide John. John was not only knowledgeable and adept at finding the animals (the Big 5 and more) but was also responsive and was quite simply fun to be around -- he has a great personality and we all enjoyed sharing our experience with him. Wildplus Escapades is the way to go -- booking was easy with Esther in the office, and all of our connections and drivers were timely, kind and appropriate. What an experience!

Excellent guide but complex logistics
We had an incredible experience thanks to our guide, Rutger, who was not only knowledgeable but also went out of his way to help us spot all of the Big Five. His enthusiasm and expertise made the safari truly memorable.
However, we encountered some logistical challenges. The group was merged with participants from other operators, which meant a lengthy process of picking people up from multiple hotels before we could really get started. It took a significant amount of time and felt a bit disorganized.
While the overall safari was fantastic and Rutger’s efforts were outstanding, it would have been helpful to receive a heads-up about the shared arrangement. With more transparent communication about the logistics, future travelers could be better prepared for the longer pre-safari pickups.
