Life changing experience in Uganda & Rawanda
What an unforgettable adventure with We Tour Africa Safari’s with our amazing guide, Blair. We have travelled to over 100 countries and this experience ranks at the very top. We chose the 4 Days Gorillas and Chimps Safari (which also included Golden Monkey’s). Our travels started in Kigali, Rawanda where Blair picked the two of us from our lodging. We stopped for an African buffet lunch that was absolutely delicious. We continued on our way to Uganda…as Blair helped us through the border crossings and the immigration process…setting clear expectations and by our side the entire time. We made it to our first lodge which was lovely and the included dinner was top notch. We ate dinner with Blair and he discussed the itinerary and laid out the plan for the following day. Our first trek was to see chimpanzees…which left me overwhelmed with gratitude. We saw probably 15 chimps and we were in a trekking group of 6 people - plus a ranger and two security guards (in case an African elephant decided to surprise us, they’d shoot into the sky to scare them away) . From there we headed to our next destination, the Rushaga Sector to prepare to trek with gorillas. We chose the Uganda side to trek as not only is it a more affordable trek pass, but there is also a higher density of gorillas. Our trek was nothing less than spectacular. Our group of eight trekkers saw over ten gorillas…including a silverback, many females, a couple juveniles and even an infant that was born just five days earlier. The ranger and guards were all so excited, as this was the youngest gorilla they had seen. We did not initially plan the hire a porter ($20 for the trek, plus any gratuity) …but decided to at the last moment. While I think we would have managed the trek ok on our own (we are in our 40’s and 50’s, are physically active and walk 10k+ steps daily)…this was the best decision we made. Not only do they give you a much needed helping hand as you navigate the bush in the elevation, but it’s also nice to know you are helping the local community. From here, we returned to Rawanda through the magnificent countryside of both Uganda and Rawanda , witnessing daily life and sharing space in a different reality. We made it to our final night’s stay in Rawanda. Another lovely stay and delicious food. Our final day in Rawanda we were privileged to see dozens of endangered golden monkeys…and surprisingly, 3 unexpected mountain gorillas!!! This was supposed to be our final stop, but Blair… being the amazing guy that he is…remembered that I had mentioned that I had hoped to go to the Genocide Memorial before departing Kigali..and, he took us there and waited for us at the tour the facility for three hours… before returning us to our accommodation in Kigali.
Again, I must reiterate the kindness, professionalism and expertise of Blair. We talked to other guests on the treks and their guides did not seem to provide the same level of TLC and expectation setting as Blair did. He shared that prior to becoming a guide, he studied Public Health at university. This care and compassion was evident as he shared his beautiful home with us. Cheers and happy travels!

Amazing trip with Juli
We went on a 9-day trip with Juli, and it was an incredible experience; throughout the entire journey, he was extremely friendly and kind, and demonstrated great expertise. He took us to various locations across Kenya and always managed to spot animals during the safaris. On our very first day with him, we managed to see all of the Big Five. It was truly an amazing experience we will never forget

Very good operator, very organized trip
Our guide Juliz is very experienced and great man. Me and my partner we have a private trip to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha and Ambosali. We saw all the animals we expect to see and we slept well in different lodges. Overall it's a very nice trip and I definitely recommend the operator and out guide Juliz.

Excellent safari and impeccable organization
Excellent service. Nakuru + Naivasha + Mara safari, 2 nights. Communication was always prompt and professional. The private safari was organized according to our requests and at the best price we found. The driver was exceptional. The vehicle was a bit old, but we had no problems at all.
Our Italian-speaking guide, called "Cappuccino", was a fantastic and helpful person. He could improve his knowledge of wildlife and natural history aspects, but he was outstanding at helping us experience the real life and culture of Kenya.

Best Experience Ever!!
The tour was exceptional. The management and planning of it was great. Our guide Yasin was incredible. We were very lucky to be guided by a senior safari guide and took us to all the spots to get the best animal sightings. His knowledge was incredible. The hotels were very nice too. Will highly recommend!
