5 Stars ins't just enough! 10 days Rwanda and Uganda Safari
My wife and I have just returned from what we can only describe as the most incredible adventure of our lives, all thanks to the exceptional team at Gorilla Pathfinders. From the moment we were greeted in Kigali to our final farewell at Entebbe Airport, every single detail was meticulously planned and executed with passion and expertise.
Our guide, Mambo James, is an absolute treasure. His knowledge was boundless—he wasn't just a driver; he was a master storyteller, a skilled wildlife spotter, and a kind-hearted ambassador for his countries. He made us feel safe, informed, and entertained throughout the entire 10 days. James, thank you for your patience, your incredible sense of humor, and for sharing your love for East Africa with us.
The itinerary was perfectly paced. The Kigali City Tour was a profound and humbling start. Trekking the playful Golden Monkeys in Volcanoes National Park was a delight, but nothing could prepare us for the raw emotion of coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla family in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. It was a truly spiritual experience we will cherish forever.
The adventures continued in Queen Elizabeth National Park, where James’s eagle eyes found us tree-climbing lions, and the boat safari on the Kazinga Channel was a floating paradise of hippos, elephants, and birds. Kibale National Park lived up to its name as the primate capital—hearing the calls of the chimpanzees and then spending an hour with them was exhilarating. And our trip ended on a high note with a magical canoe trip in Mabamba Swamp where we spotted the prehistoric and magnificent shoebill stork!
Gorilla Pathfinders, thank you. You delivered on every promise and then some. The accommodations were wonderful, the vehicle was comfortable, and the entire team's communication was flawless. If you are dreaming of a safari that combines breathtaking wildlife, rich culture, and genuine heart, look no further. You won't find a better company or a better guide than Mambo James.
We are already dreaming of our next trip with you. Asante Sana and Webale Nnyo!

One of the most trustworthy, transparent and friendly Safari agency in Kenya
Our wild safari in Kenya became the most amazing, exciting and unforgettable memory of our life, all thanks to Tukutane Kenya Safaris. Below is brief summary:
1. Excellent tour manager:
We were connected to Ms Eunice who helped to customise the trip for is two friends travelling to Kenya. We had given our requirements to skip Masai Mara as it was out of our budget due to the peak migration season. Eunice politely understood our requirement and on our suggestion very willingly arranged one day return tours from Nairobi to Amboseli on first day and Nairobi to Lake Nakuru on second. She had been a constant support for all our regular communications to clarify our queries regarding the dates, time of travel, local requirements etc. we were picked up at 5:00 am daily from our hotel in Nairobi and dropped back in the evening around 8:00 pm everyday.
2. Comfortable and customised tour:
Stringent budget made us choose Amboseli and Lake Nakuru instead of Masai Mara. However it turned out to be the best decisions we made as our Safari cost dropped down to 50%. Eunice also helped us with an option of a minivan instead of the Land Cruiser further saving money. The Minivan was very clean and comfortable and for just us two which turned it into a private vehicle for our entire trip. There was ample bottled water provided to us on the two days safari. The driver was polite to take any quick stops for coffee/snacks on our way to the parks (personal expense).
3. The most Amazing wildlife spotting upclose and without any rush:
With respect to spotting the wild life our Driver cum tour guide Mr Peter managed to help us witness almost all the animals we had on our list : big herd of elephants including babies, Giraffes, zebra, Wildebeest, group of Hippos outside the water body, white and black rhino, Cape buffalo, baboons, warthogs, gazelles, bucks, Cheetahs, flamingoes, pelicans, crowned cranes, ostriches. We could not spot any lions or leopards but that’s how wildlife is … very unpredictable.
But the most amazing experience was that we could witness a group of Hyenas eating a Cape buffalo kill …. Almost within an arms distance and for good 20 mins. All this happened due to the excellent, detailed park and animal knowledge of our driver Mr Peter ( He is 53 and his knowledge and eagerness to give us the best experience was unparalleled). If you choose Tukutane Safaris do request for Peter as your driver. Another best part about Peter was that he never expected or asked for any additional tips at the end of our safari ( though we did tip him on our own goodwill for his amazing service).
Overall we rate Tukutane Kenya Safaris a 5 star for the service, customisation, amazing game drives, polite driver and manager, budget friendly and for being trustworthy.

Excellent, professional and welcoming
I booked a 3 Days Gorilla Trekking Safari with Otter African Safaris and I flew in from North Cyprus excited about the seeing the mountain gorillas face to face.
On the trekking day, I hiked through Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in the Rushaga sector, where the hike was challenging because of the terrain and dense vegetation of the forest but the experience was worth it as I enjoyed being close to the mountain gorillas for one hour which was a once in a lifetime experience for me.
Huge shoutouts to Clare and the team at Otter African Safaris for handling the permits, the lodges, the clean safari Land Cruiser I used and my dramatic gasps as I reacted to the beautiful environment i was in. They made everything smooth, safe, and seriously unforgettable. Our guide Davis who accompanied us on the safari made sure we enjoyed every bit of the safari as he shared with us a lot about the country Uganda especially it’s history and the culture.
If you’re thinking of a Gorilla trekking Safari in Uganda, do it, and if you want an unforgettable experience do it with Otter African Safaris.

Magnificent 12 day Safari experience in Kenya and Tanzania with Inspired Feet
As a family of 4 adults, we booked a 12-day Midrange private Safari Kenya and Tanzania, directly with Inspired Feet.
As from the very first contacts, we were supported in a very efficient way by Fiona, sharing lots of information with us and proving a high level of flexibility in pulling together the most optimal package for our needs.
Also throughout the Safari, we were constantly procatively supported by Fiona.
The Safari itself was very well organised and we were very lucky to have such skilled and customer oriented guides. Both Moses in Kenya as Omari and Rueben in Tanzania really know their job and were wonderful in making our stay the most stunning experience.
Thanks to our guides, Fiona, the game drives, full of surprises, and the luxury lodges where we stayed, Inspired Feet made this vacation an unforgettable experience.
Moreover, as you book directly with a local Tour operator, you get all the value for hour money in return.

Group hike with Kilisa Tours
I joined a group hike with Kilisa Tours as a solo traveler, and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life. Everything about the service was wonderful - from the smooth organization and warm welcome to the professional guides, friendly porters, and excellent food on the mountain.
Even though I started alone, I never once felt like it. The team made me feel part of the group right away, and their constant support and smiles gave me confidence all the way to the summit.

Best birthday ever!
As a solo traveller, Nature Path Travels ensured my safety and comfort throughout my trip. City tour guide Carole showed me around the Nairobi city. My game drive guide, Soi and driver, Laui, were both knowledgeable, warm, and accommodating to all my needs. I had an awesome time and looking forward to have more adventures in Kenya.
