They were professional, kind and gave me a memorable experience.
Mukisa Safaris they acted promptly, the guide Joan was kind and made sure that we enjoyed our trip. All in all I would recommend any person who wishes to visit the natural endowments of Uganda to book with Mukisa Safaris.

Maasai Mara, Kenya - The perfect first visit to Africa
I had a wonderful safari experience at the Maasai Mara National Reserve and really enjoyed staying at the Ashnil Mara Camp located on the Mara River bend. James was very helpful in organizing the trip and Wilson was an excellent driver/guide. Some highlights include a large clan of hyenas stealing a wart hog kill from a lion pride, a cheetah hunting Thomson's gazelles, a leopard resting under a bush with a partially eaten gazelle stashed up a tree nearby, and the same lion pride eating a wildebeest the next day. The staff members at Ashnil Mara Camp were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, and I loved hearing the hippos, lions, and hyenas at night.

Botswana, Tanzania and Zanzibar.
We have always arranged our own travel arrangements and accommodation when holidaying, but found it difficult to do so for Africa.
After approaching several agents who pushed us towards the standard group tours which only partially fitted our suggested itinerary, we luckily found Ker & Downey and Emma and Razaan in Capetown.
Their exemplary planning and service allowed us to spend an unforgettable month in Botswana, Tanzania and Zanzibar.
Accommodation was excellent, transfers were allways on time and 100 % reliable, and most imprtantly we experienced a wide range of different country, from delta to desert to rainforest to open plains and savanna.
Due to this our interaction with animals, birds, the local people and the environment in general, was nothing short of amazing!
Thanks again to Emma and Razaan, BEST HOLIDAY EVER!

They are the best!
Hyrax Safaris are prompt at communicating, their service is excellent and I really enjoyed visiting Maasai Mara especially during the wildebeest migration. Our Maasai tour guide was the best!

An amazing and memorable birding trip with Joseph Mwangi, a passionate and excellent safari guide
Everything was perfect! My only regret is that it was too short, due to my lack of time. Joseph organized and customized the trip perfectly, on very short notice. Excellent organisation! Accommodations were always comfortable, with good food, and well located to access to close-by birding sites. Joseph is a tireless and prudent driver in a good and comfortable car. He is very knowledgeable about the wildlife fauna of Kenya, knows very well species locations and how to identify them (visually but also very much on their calls and songs). He can tell you on species status, distribution, ecology... Moreover, Joseph is adaptable, patient and a pleasant trip companion. We saw plenty of species, more than my expectations in very good conditions, allowing to take back amazing picturial souvenirs. Really hope to have chance to come back on a longer trip and will definetely call Joseph. I warmly recommend his services.

Trekking with gorillas is amazing and Nicholas is phenomenal communicating trip details!
The tour was really good considering how quick of a trip it was. We enjoyed the shopping at the equator and the lunch stops. We absolutely loved the views at Bakiga Lodge and Birdnest Resort; they truly were worth the price and were outstanding both from a service perspective and a comfort perspective. Our guide, Roger, was pretty good; he was a bit quieter than we expected but he always asked us what we wanted and helped meet our needs. The vehicle was okay, it tended to get a little warm and Roger typically did not turn on the air conditioning. We were amazed by our experience with the gorillas and truly loved getting the permits and doing the trekking. You prepared us very well for what we needed to bring and how rigorous it would be. Following the gorillas and seeing them in the wild was what we wanted to come to Uganda for and it did not disappoint!
To improve, we thought it would be helpful to tell us in your itinerary how long each day would be in the car. This would have helped us with the planning of our flights as well as prepared us for the very long car rides. We also would have loved to have some time to do something in Kampala, but simply ran out of it (which was our fault because we shopped for too long).
Thank you very much to Nicholas for outstanding communication and help with our trip. We would recommend Africa Tours Adventure to any and all interested in going gorilla trekking.

10-day safari across Kenya & Tanzania
My friends and I did the 10-day Masaai Explorer Safari through Kenya and Tanzania. We researched dozens of Safari companies and found KWSS to be the best value. Mr OT was super friendly and easy to deal with, answering every one of my very many questions. Mr OT also changed the itinerary slightly for us, to fit within our budget. After seeing all the other tour groups around the parks, we felt we’d definitely made the right choice and chose the best one. All the accommodation and food across the trip was very good. We most enjoyed Mara Camp, Carnelleys Camp, Kibo Camp, & Savannah Camp.
Kenya:
We had the most incredible experience through all the national parks in Kenya. We saw a huge number of animals in our first 2 days at Masaai Mara, including Lions, leopard, cheetah, elephants, heaps of giraffe & zebra, loads of different antelope varieties.
Our guide- Rueben was the best guide and friend we could have ever hoped for. Highly recommend asking for him if you are booking! He went above and beyond to take us to the big animals and teach us everything he knows. He even helped us change the schedule mid-way through the safari so that we could see the flamingos at Lake Bogoria (which we had not originally chosen).
Tanzania:
The guides must changeover at the border, so after crossing we were picked up by our new guide. The process feels a bit different on the Tanzania side and utilises the Tanzania office, rather than the Kenya office with Mr OT. We found we had many mistakes and miscommunications during the Tanzanian side of the Safari, and we’re glad we spent 7days in Kenya and only 3days in Tanzania. We felt our guide didn’t know the schedule and therefore we werent entirely sure what was happening most days. The parks in Tanzania were not as abundant with animals or scenery, in fact Serengeti is very baron and has barely even a tree to look at, let alone animals. Personally I’d skip the Serengeti and spend more time at the Kenyan parks in future.
Overall, we had an amazing time and our Safari was something we’ll never forget. Highly recommend choosing Kenya Walking Survivors. Also remember you can pay much more for a ‘luxury’ safari and think you’re getting more but at the end of the day, all the Safari cars are in the same park seeing the same animals together.
