Uganda Gorilla Trek
Our experience with Encounter Africa Safaris was fantastic! From setting up our trip to see the gorillas in Uganda to our driver to the lodge where we stayed it was top notch across the board! The communication and service was amazing! Thank you for helping make my dream come true to see these amazing animals in person!

So many good things for me to say about Regional Tours & Travel
There are so many good things for me to say about Regional Tours & Travel that I cannot tell it all. The company had a wonderful staff and outstanding customer service.
I chose Regional Tours & Travel because of their wonderful reviews. Maturaf the owner personally took charge of organizing our itinerary and he helped us create a fantastic itinerary for us (husband and wife)
Stanley is a highly experienced knowledgeable guide and driver. We were able to see numerous animals and also enjoy the narrations about them thanks to Stanley.
We had an absolutely amazing time and I am grateful to Regional Tours & Travel for their dedication and excellent service on our trip.

Great Experience!
We had a great time during the 6 days safari. Chimpanzee Habituation in Kibale, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Gorilla Habituation in Bwindi - a blast!
Thanks to help and knowledge of our guide, Trevor, we had discovered a different, hidden side of Uganda. Memories of this trip will last for our lifetimes!
Everything was as planned, and exceeded our expectation, no complaints, whatsoever. It was a really well done, planned and executed trip.

Amazing experience!
We have just returned from the hakuna matata tour and it was an incredible adventure. The itinerary was well organised by Sylvester and we were met with a smile at the airport. All the accommodations were in stunning settings and the service was great. Our guide Charles was amazing and was so passionate about the animals, birds and environment around him. We learnt so much and saw so much! Seeing the Big Cats, giraffes, elephants and the hundreds of other species in the wild was a dream come true for me.
An unforgettable experience......thanks to Seven by Far and to our guide Charles.

Excellent Safari Tour Operator
I highly recommend Grassrootz for safaris in East Africa. I could not have asked for a better experience. They know the place very well and listen to your wishes and can thus create an unique experience. Very professional organization and planning if the trip by Sander with lots of attention to details - you are well taken care of before you arrive and he is constantly making sure everything runs smoothly. Well chosen lodged and travel itinerary. Great back office support by Anna who is always approachable and quick to find solutions. And a best of class tour guide Emma. Very knowledgeable un flora and fauna and the local history and culture. Fun to travel with. Excellent driver. He also has great personal relationships with the locals you will meet and makes this more than a safari but a cultural experience. Grassrootz is the only company I will consider for future travel in the region. I put my complete trust in them to create a perfect experience on your vacation as well.

Excellent service and very friendly people.
Our Serengeti adventure was well planned. We were received warmly, the drive to wilderness was done professionally. Our 4 days trip in Tanzania was amazing. The tour group and staff members went above and beyond to make our holiday a memorable.
Thank you Gundua Africa.

Worry free Amazing Family Adventure
I researched multiple Safari companies before contacting Makasa to discuss arrangements. Selma was extremely helpful and accommodating. She was very patient with my multiple inquiries about details only someone from Canada would ask ( which in hindsight, now that I’ve been to Tanzania, were down right silly!). Selma modified our itinerary a number of times until we were satisfied; she was happy to make our trip perfect for our family of 5. A couple days in Zanzibar? No problem! The addition of a side trip to Olduvai Gorge and a hot air balloon ride happened in one email. Literally every aspect of our trip was organized and arranged for us. That included having a taxi arranged for us to take us from one air terminal in Dar to another air terminal-thank goodness!
Our Safari driver and guide, Ben, was a blessing. Kind to our children and thoughtful to my older mother, Ben exceeded expectations. He was a safe driver. He was patient. Where we saw only a tree on the Serengeti, Ben saw a leopard sleeping on a branch! His skill in spotting and identifying wildlife can’t be over exaggerated.
Our accommodations were as described and were clean and comfortable. Listening to the lions vocalizing at night from our tented camp in the Serengeti was a highlight! One would think we would feel unsafe at night with wildlife in close proximity but at each location there were guards/Maasai in the camps at night. The food at our accommodations was varied and delicious with lots of Vegetarian choices. My kids appreciated the availability of pools at several lodges. The staff at each location were all friendly.
In summary, a trip of a life time with wonderful memories. Thank you Selma and Makasa.

Bisar
We have a good holiday with KWSS, but at the last evening when we arrived at the hotel we have to pay our stay self (110 dollars), altough the stay was included in our trip. that was on august 3, and also our ride to the airport for 10 dollars.
So i think we have the luck to finish our trip with a minor problem when i look at all the other comments.
PS, Sorry for my poor english.

Wonderful trip, perfect guide and driver
Everything was perfect, the explanations were clear. The plan was well prepared. Caesar is an excellent guide, he has the concern to arrange everything. He has an incredible knowledge of animals, and explains how they live. Our 10-day trip to the heart of Uganda leaves us with wonderful memories.
In addition, the hotels were very comfortable.
