No need to look further to find the right tour operator
After I contacted 7 tour operators it was very easy to decide for Grassrootz. Sanders promptness in response, his professionalism and tour layouts spoke for themselves. I am a professional tour guide myself and made my expectations quite clear. We did our 21 day tour with BOB MAGEZI. We couldn't have had a better guide. Bob is an excellent driver and guide with a profound knowledge of Uganda and a deep love for all its parks and wildlife. He doesn't hesitate to go the extra mile and if there are special sightings (like leopards or lions) in a park, he will know it. We started as clients and departed as friends and this trip will always have a very special place in our heart. This tour outmatched all our expectations. I strongly recommend to opt for a longer tour option. It is worth the money and will make the trip unforgettable. Sometimes transfers are long and activities are demanding. Having at times the possibility of a half day rest, allows you to recover, appreciate the beautiful settings of the lodges and let the impressions sink in. Like this you don't finish your tour tired and you can enjoy it to the fullest. In 21 days we visited 7 parks; Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary(Rhino safari walk), Kidepo (wonderful game drives), Murchison Falls (wonderful game drives, boat cruises and hiking to the falls), Kibale Forest (crater lake hike, community walk, chimpanzee habituation experience), Queen Elisabeth (including the channel boat cruise, tour with the lion tracking team and Ishasha with its amazing tree climbing lions and leopards!) Bwindi Impenetrable forest (of course with the fantastic Gorilla tracking experience, but also the beautiful Golden Monkey trekking) and we ended the trip at Lake Mburu. We've met some tourists who did the primate tours in Uganda and were then heading off for safaris in Tanzania or Kenia. There is no need to do that. Uganda has blown us away with its beautiful National Parks, full of diversity and overwhelming amount of wildlife. This country has it all. Thank you again Grassrootz (Sander) and Bob!!

Excellent guide, caring , thoughtful and knowledgeable
Communications were great, as with service and quality of accommodations. I had no qualms with any of the operational aspects of the tour. Of course, game viewing is entirely dependent on lucky but our guides made sure they put in their best efforts for us! Thank you both

Majestic experience!
We loved our time in Bwindi and Rushaga Gorilla Camp. The warm hospitality of the people was incredibly welcoming and the gorilla trekking was something words can't describe. Edison was extremely responsive, timely, reliable and helpful in organizing our package and I would highly recommend him. The drivers he arranged for us, Fred and Gerald, were also excellent and had a ton of knowledge to share. Fred was very friendly and we appreciated his expertise. Overall, I would strongly recommend Edison for his outstanding service and to experience the majestic gorillas of Uganda.

Very professional, knowledgeable and super friendly!
Guruguru Safari is one of the very exceptional safari in Tanzania! My husband and I arrived in Arusha and they were at the airport on time to pick us up. They made sure we were well taken care of the from start to finish. We did the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. We were very satisfied with the driver Osbert who took caution while driving us around together with Peter his partner! They went out of their way to make sure we were able to see the predators in action and the beautiful sunrise and sunset in the wild! The lodging and food was excellent! Overall I will definitely recommend Guruguru!!!

Breath taking, perfectly arranged and a lot of fun.
When I booked I did not have any real expectations, other than that I wanted to see the big five.
I did get to see the big the big five and so much more!
Birds of every colour, beasts you only get to see on National Geographic Channel and a kill by a leopard so fast that if I'd blinked I would have missed it.
The guide was a gem: smart, educated, social and an overall superb guide. Thank you Charlie, you were a big plus to my safari!

Best trip of our life
We did the 5 days safari: Tarangire, Serengeti (2 days), Crater and Manyara. Overall, it was an awesome experience. The booking process was very straight forward and we had confidence in Lion King Adventures from the beginning. Even though safaris are extremely expensive, this company had a good price in comparison.
Our guide Salehe was very knowledgeable and made his best efforts to show us everything we wanted.
Our cook Karim was very accommodating and prepared very delicious food. We are vegetarian and all our dishes were great.
In terms of places to visit, I would recommend NOT visiting Manyara.. really not that much to see there. Serengeti is by far the best place.

Couldn't have been better! Tolbert is incredibly friendly and insightful.
The safari tour was so much fun. Tolbert was able to answer any questions we had and seem to know the places to find the best sights. The lodges/hotels/resorts we stayed at went well beyond my expectations. Everywhere we stayed came with stunning views, amazing meals, and helpful and friendly staff.
