Grazzrootz is knowledgeable, flexible and delivers
Uganda is not a cheap destination. You get a lot of value for your money though!
Grassrootz listens to what you are looking for, and provides you with a custom trip that matches this exactly. Sander is easy to talk to, responds quickly to all of your questions and gives great advice on the itinerary. He takes away all of the stress of organising a trip!
We went on a three week tour with David. He was very knowledgeable (the country, the parks, the animals, the hotels, the road and even politics!). David is friendly, polite and has great sense of humour. He's an excellent spotter as well! During the trip David helped to arrange the things we were looking for, such as a specific ranger that was good with birds, or to try some local food.
Most of the hotels were as we expected, with just a few feeling a bit dated (but we did confirm these accommodations when we booked).
Highly recommended.

Very experienced and helpful person
We had a four-day Safari, through Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro with a group of six. Truly an experience of a lifetime. The company seems very professional with good logistics and we had a well maintained (which means alot on these roads) and clean car. Our chef Muba provided excellent food and support throughout the journey, and our driver Jovin just nailed it! He has a magic nose for finding the best spots, and he gave us so many unforgettable moments. He also is very experienced in driving in these parks, so we felt safe. Thank you both, and thank you Abouh

good service with best guide for the safari
I chose Lenchada safari company because of their honesty of what they would offer as well as having patience throughout the process. I had paid them the deposit through paypal; but for some reason they would receive it after 180 days and yet the owner (Alex) was very humble and went through the safari even though he did not receive the deposit at the time. The guide ( Evans) was very knowledgeable about the park and the vicinity. He would go extra mile to show me the big cats up very close. Overall I was very happy about the recent safari trip in Masai Mara and other parks due the excellent guidance from Evans. I would definitely recommend this company .

Everything was superb and I cannot recommend JIWE adventures highly enough.
We hiked Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route and then spent 4 days on safari afterwards. Edgar was highly professional and the trio was superb. He communicated quickly anss attended to every detail. The value was excellent. The cost was very reasonable and the guides were amazing - knowledgeable, safe, fun, encouraging. The food was quite good and the porters were helpful, fun, and kind. I highly recommend hiking Kilimanjaro and taking a Safari and 100% doing both with JIWE adventures. It was truly an extraordinary experience from beginning to end.

Amazing trip with an amazing guide
The trip was just amazing. Our guide Albert was very friendly, patient and good at locating the animals we wanted to see. He did not go back to the camp, before we found the animals we were looking for.
The pickup from the hotel was easy as well, and everything seemed organized and professional.
Thanks for a great trip!

Amazing 4 days where we were able to see the Big5 + have cultural experience.
Even in August, we were able to see from Rhino to Elephants but wildbeast, zebras, and so on.
Completely suggest anyone to do it.

Romantic 13 Day Safari
Our experience with Taswira was excellent from beginning to end.
Before the trip, Caroline was very helpful and responsive in answering all our questions and helping us to customize an itinerary to fit our budget and everything we wanted to see and do.
From the moment we arrived in Africa, George stepped in and made sure we had everything we needed for the rest of the trip. The jeep was spacious and surprisingly comfortable for the long hours we spent bouncing around on the unpaved roads. There was never a lack of clean drinking water or cold local beers wherever we went, and he made sure all of the park gates and hotel check-ins went smoothly.
George was also great about customizing our meals, free time, and game drives based on what we wanted and how we were feeling. Once we got to the Serengeti, he let us choose between trying to find and follow the Migration, stay closer to the camp, or go chasing down specific animals if we could. At one point, he got a hot tip about a leopard, and knowing we hadn’t seen one yet, managed to get us to the right tree just before it left. When we had just about lost hope of ever seeing a wild rhino at Ngorongoro Crater, George managed to spot one with the binoculars from over a mile away!
Knowing we were interested in local food and culture, he set us up with a walking tour and local lunch in one of the villages on our way back to the airport, even though it wasn’t on the original itinerary. We also just enjoyed talking with George and all the resort staff about the area, the animals, and had some great conversations. The meals were always good, whether it was a 5-course hotel dinner or a picnic lunch on the hood of the jeep. The coffee and tea are excellent and always grown locally, which was a wonderful surprise for me. All of our rooms in each lodge were better than in the pictures, with all of them – even the tent – having spacious layouts, high ceilings, and incredible views. We had a herd of waterbuck less than 10 feet from our balcony at Rhino Lodge, and needed a staff member to chase away a water buffalo that kept guarding our tent at Hippo Trail Camp!
When we finished our Safari section of the trip, we went to Zanzibar with a local guide and driver that was supplied by Taswira. We toured Stone Town and Prison Island, learning all about the history of Zanzibar. On the way to our final destination, we toured a spice farm and had lunch there with fresh fruit and spices grown right there. We ended our trip with a couple of days at an ocean resort in Nungwi, which included snorkeling off of Mnemba Island as well as swimming with sea turtles!
We loved every minute of our trip, and couldn’t have asked for a better guide to show us the wonders of Tanzania.

Hasheem Does Everything
We had an amazing experience with Safari Aventura!!! Our guide Hasheem was an extremely knowledgeable, kind, hard worker who accommodated us in every way possible. I could not imagine having a better guide and experience than with him!

Everything is taken well care of and you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
We were searching for a safari trip when we were home, but thought it was all really expensive. We were going on a holiday to Zanzibar and thought a one-day safari would be enough. We learned here that it would be better to go for at least 2 days and so we did.
It was absolutely amazing. Everything was really well taken care of. The transfer came to pick us up en brought us to the airport. There we had another person welcoming us en leading us to the right place to sit and wait for check in time to open. Once it was he walked with us to the waiting line. He explained very clear where to stand and go and so we did. The flight was very good in a small plane. Once we landed there was a jeep waiting for us with our personal driver. He brought us to the best places where we were able to see almost all the animals that live in this savanna. We had lunch in the park en were brought to the camp whenever we wanted to. Once we arrived there we could enter our room and rest en wait for dinner. The next day we were picked up after breakfast. We went on a boat safari which was also really great to see. After that we got a tour through the village and the guide leading us had so many things to tell as well. Afterwards he took us back to the jeep and we went back to the camp. Here we had lunch and had some time to rest before going back to the airport to fly back to Zanzibar. It was an amazing experience and we are really happy we were able to do this trip.
