Absolutely fantastic experience!
We just got back from a 7-day tour to Kibale National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and Bwindi. The tour was wonderful and action-packed!
Highlights: the full-day habituation experience with chimpanzees in Kibale, seeing the tree lions (multiple times!) in Ishasha, elephants wandering through our camp during lunch one day in Ishasha, and, of course, seeing gorillas in Bwindi.
Our guide, Hannington, was with us for the full week and took exceptional care of us. He was a wonderful guide, checking in with us throughout the week to make sure we were happy and that everything was going well. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and a true pleasure to spend the week with! We were well-prepped each evening on what to expect the next day. It was great to have a single guide with us for the whole experience.
The Crystal Safaris team was also fantastic in helping arrange for transportation, transfers, and providing various options for what to do so we could create the exact tour that best fit what we wanted to do and stay within budget. I appreciated having a few options to pick from, although they all looked wonderful, and we had a hard time deciding exactly what to do! Barbara and team were very easy to work with. I received very quick responses to my email inquiries.
Of the places where we stayed, Crystal Safari's Gorilla Safari Lodge and the Ishasha Wilderness Camp were stand-outs -- the food, the accommodations, and the people were all so lovely.
I very much hope that I'll be able to visit Uganda again in the future -- there's so much more to see and do. If I'm able to return, I'll definitely use Crystal Safaris again and will request Hannington!
It was such an incredible and special experience -- I'd go back again tomorrow if I could!

Loved it, with lodgings that exceeded expectations.
Really happy that I booked with Friendly Gorillas. They provided great individual attention, and promptly responded to my questions and gave updates to keep me in the loop. The lodgings were better than I was expecting and were all wonderful. They had great ambience with designs that felt like they belonged in Africa, but were very comfortable. I would pick the 3 that we stay at to go back to any time. Also, very pleased with our driver who really looked out for us.

Great 5 days camping safari!
I loved everything about this tour, the tour was amazing, we saw plenty of animals more than what we expected. A little bit unlucky as we saw lions after they had just caught their prey. I just can't stop imagining on what the hunting action would have been. The food was great. The guide, David, very knowledgeable. I heavily recommend this agency. They were very professional and passionat. Bryson is quick with response, and very willing to assist. Their attention to details sets them aside! Trust me guys, choose them and you'll thank me later!

Horrible. They blackmailed me.
I booked a private safari of 14 days with Orongai for January 2019.
However, 4 days before the start of my trip they send me an email that the cost of fuel had risen since I booked the tour and I had to pay $ 1,400,- extra immediately!
This is crazy. I checked and found out fuel prices had fallen by 10 per cent instead since I booked the trip. Then I realized I was blackmailed.
Later I found out that more people were blackmailed in a similar way. Check the reviews.
I cancelled the tour, but they did not want to return my money.
Only after the safaribookings.com where they promote themselves blocked them, I received most of money back (not everything), but it was a horrible experience. They ruined my holidays.
These guys are criminals.

Great company. Great safari guide. I’d highly recommend
Everything went very smoothly. We choose to see 4 parks . The pick up avd drop of Arusha was well organized. The cook had breakfast , lunch and dinner ready for us in a timely manner to make each park drive.
Stanley , our guide and driver , was friendly and much better at spotting the animals than I was. We got to see the big 5 plus plenty of elephants, hippos , birds and antelopes.
I’d definitely recommend this company and will use them again if I manage to get back to Tanzania again.

Best experience ever.
I'll be honest, going on vacation is my favorite thing in the world, but having a tour guide isn't always at the top of my list. Dom and his company, Limitless Tour and Travels, changed my mind. I had the wonderful opportunity of going on two trips with Limitless Tour and Travels. We went chimpanzee trekking. The trek was great and we got to see Chimps. We also went to Jinja which was my favorite trip on the vacation. Some of the highlights from our trips include:
-Seeing chimpanzees in their natural habitats
-Hiking through a beautiful forest
-Going kayaking on the Nile River (Side story: I really wanted to go kayaking, but my family did not want to go. Our guide, Dom, said he'd go with me so I didn't have to be alone. Mind you, he is not a swimmer and he's never been kayaking before.) It was beautiful
-The markets in Jinja
-The friendliness of Dom and his colleague, Caesar
-The comfortability of their vehicle
-The lodging
-And many many more.
I feel so lucky to have had these experiences with Limitless Tours and Travels and would highly recommend using this company!

Professionalism and efficiency for a fantastic safari
We went on a safari in Zimbabwe last April and we have to thank Kingfisher Safaris and Martin in particular for the experience we experienced. Martin and his agency are of a kindness, a willingness, a seriousness and a truly unique professionalism. We visited the parks of Northern Zimbabwe, the Mana Pools NP, the area adjacent to Lake Kariba and Hwange NP. We stayed in fantastic tented camps and in really excellent lodges where the quality of food, service and staff were superb. We were also quite lucky both in terms of quality and quantity of sightings, especially in Hwange NP. In conclusion, we strongly recommend choosing Kingfisher Safaris to anyone who wants to experience an intense, true African experience in contact with uncontaminated nature.
