Efficient, Professional & Friendly
We finished our tour this morning and have had a great time. We researched quite a few companies & found Experience Uganda to be the most efficient, informative and the best value. We were a bit nervous about sending payment to a company based outside the UK but Kevin was happy to speak with us on the phone and efficiently confirmed when payments were received etc. After listening to what we wanted he put together an excellent itinerary, willingly and quickly getting back to us with different options of e.g. lodges & activities etc. He worked within our budget with no pressure on trying to increase our costs....although we did end up choosing some fantastic accomodation!
We started and ended our stay at Karibu Guesthouse, which was excellent. Staff were great as was the food and accomodation. All airport transfers for were organised for us, as was everything else!
Of course, we went to see the gorillas, which were amazing but we also discovered a whole lot more. We would definitely use this company again.

Great experience!
We booked the Safari for 5 days to visit Tarangire Park, Serengeti Park and Ngorongoro Park. It was a great experience and we are so happy with the company.
We booked a private safari that included a private car, chef and guide. That was a good decision. Both were very attentive to our needs and preferences.
The day before to start the safari, when we arrived to Arusha Airport, a car from the company brought us to the hotel. Afterthat, they came with us to the hotel, where we could ask the last questions before depart the following day.
We chose to sleep in Public Campsites. The Public Campsites are located inside the parks, for this reason you can listen the animals during the night. There the chefs cook and you sleep in tends and sleeping bags. In the Campsites there are toilets and showers, but without hot water. This is the price that you have to pay for sleep in the middle of the park.
During our Safari we could see the Big Five and all kind of animals! Moreover we demanded to our guide to see the sunrise and the sunset and he took us to special sites.
The transfers by car from one Park to another Park were long, but you have another options, like do it by plane.
That was the first Safari and for this reason we had many questions, but the company answered us every questions and the emails.
When the Safari was over, people from the company came to the hotel to do the last feedback and checked that everything was okey. Also they offered to took us to the airport the next day.
That’s a great experience and we are very happy. We could meet other tourists that they had bad luck with their chefs and guides from other companies.
Thanks Orongai for this experience. We will repeat for sure.

Amazing first safari experience
4 friends and I did a 8 days tours safari around Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Natron...
Beyond the magical landscapes and wildlife,
Mack, the owner, showed real flexibility during the organization of the safari and was very helpful at the end when we had problems with our return flight to Dar Es Salaam.
Tumsifu, the driver, and Innocente, the stomach engineer, were so friendly and competent, everything was perfect.
Do not hesitate, go for Kiliholidays Tours (and ask for Tumsifu and Innocente if possible...)

This #1 bucket list trip of a lifetime photo safari to Tanzania lived up to everything I dreamed!
Bright was the first to respond when we emailed 3 different companies in the beginning stages. My daughter did 50+ hours of research to come up with 3 different companies and a good itinerary. We chose Bright African Safaris because they had such great ratings online and they emailed back very quickly with a more detailed itinerary. We could also do more for the money with them. Our guide for 9 1/2 days, Khamis, was wonderful at spotting animals and educating us in many areas about Africa, the people, animals, culture, etc. There were too many highlights to mention but we saw black rhinos, migration of the wildebeests and crocs feeding on 3, a lion and her fresh gazelle kill and 3 baby cubs, a monkey stole my muffin at lunch, a hippo visited at lunch, elephants raided the patio one day at lunch and 1000’s of zebras, giraffes and elephants and a multitude of other animals. Relaxing at Zanzibar beach island was the perfect 3 day end to a perfect vacation! All the tent camps and lodgings were all so different and unique also! August was delightful with highs 77-80 and lows in upper 50’s.

Everything is perfect
This is our first trip to Kenya. We contacted several travel agencies, and finally chose the Spirit of Kenya. Because they replied very fast and patiently answered all our questions.
Joseph, our guide, is very kind and professional. He knows what time and where to meet what animal, we took many nice photos.
This is a perfect safari experience.

Absolutely amazing experience!!
I did a 6 day mid-range safari with Lion King Adventures and our driver Saleh through Tarangiri, northern/central Serengeti, and ngorongoro crater. It was absolutely a trip of a lifetime. Saleh was our wonderful and extremely kind knowledgeable driver and he in an absolute pleasure!! He knew all about the animals and the region and was happy to answer as many questions as you had. He knew where all the animals were and we were able to see the big five, including a rare sighting of a pair of rhinos! He took care of all the paperwork with regards to entry/exit permits etc, he is an excellent driver and the car was well equipped with blankets, snacks, water, sodas, and even beer, as well as cleaned and tidied up on a daily basis. Tanzania is an amazingly beautiful country and it is so great to have a native Tanazanian to show you around. We even learned all the animal names in Swahili! Anna who works in the office and organized the trip was also excellent, and she even came to the hotel to welcome us before our safari and at the end to make sure we had a good trip. Everything was extremely well organized and we didn’t have any issues the entire trip. The accommodations were perfect, the food was excellent, and our transfers to/from airports/hotels were on time and professional. Lion King even organized our trip to Zanzibar after the safari and organied all the accommodation and transfers. The trip exceeded my expectations and I would highly highly recommend Lion king adventures to anyone who wants to go on safari, and request Saleh as your driver!!

Fantastic Operator, always accessible, very good safari
I was a solo traveller looking for a trip to Masai Mara. After speaking to a few operators, I short-listed Peter and East Africa Tours and Safaris.
His quotes were one of the best. More importantly he was always accessible, both on the mobile and on mail. I had a lot of queries and he patiently answered everything. I made a few changes to the itinerary and he quickly accommodated them. The minute I landed in Nairobi, and switched on my phone, had a call from him, saying the driver was outside. As I had the first day free in Nairobi, he arranged a car, visit to the Giraffe centre, a mall and Carnivore at reasonable costs.
The trip to Masai Mara was outstanding.
His person picked me up from my hotel, got me to the safari van.
Lots of game viewing. Peter also messaged me regularly, checking on how the safari was, and if I had any issues.
Readily recommend Peter and East Africa Tours and Safaris to anyone looking for a trip in Kenya.
