Faultless tour of Uganda with this great operator
We have just finished a 5 day tour of Uganda with this company and we were very impressed with the itinerary and the service provided. Maria did a great job organising the tour and if you are lucky enough to have Peter as your guide you are in for a treat. All in all would highly recommend this company Uganda as a safari destination. Very pleased!

Excellent safari, great experience
I booked a 2-day safari with Watu Safaris to Mikumi National Park. I am happy I chose them and my guide Rajabu was very helpful and made this short safari a great and unforgettable experience. Saw lots of animals giraffes, zebras, elephants, bulls, etc. No lions came our way but that was fine. Amazing mountain landscapes on the way, very nice national park Thank you Rajabu and Majenda!

Perfectly Planned Unforgettable Adventure into the land of the Mountain Gorilla
If you ever dreamed of looking into the eyes of a 1500 pound Mountain Gorilla, this is the trip for you. If you dreamed of doing it effortlessly and affordably, then this is the company for you. I spent 12 days with my own private guide, impeccable service, a the chance to make memories of a lifetime. Tell them what you want, and they will make it happen. Change your mind, and they will do their best to make them happen. My guide, Abdallah was incredible - knowledgable, pleasant, informative, and just a great guy. His suggestions and choices were always right on target. He made sure that everything was perfect. Jolie in the office was a pleasure to work with... even when I wasn't such a pleasure to deal with. The lodges were all well chosen, the food delicious, and the people friendly and welcoming. The landscapes were beautiful, the activities varied in nature and demand. The gorilla experiences were so great I ended up doing three. The interactions with these incredible creatures were beyond expectations. The adventures continued with chimps, golden monkeys, and other primates, with elephants galore and hippos gracing the river shores. I was King for a day in Rwanda, complete with my own servants and warriors. The trip exceeded my expectations in every way thanks to the well thought out planning of Explore Rwanda Tours. Its obvious this company is well connected to the local pulse of the community as well as the out of the way spots that many will miss. Its a trip of a lifetime, and they made it possible for an incredible price and limited effort on my part. I highly recommend them without hesitation.

6 day, Machame route.
This trip sure did exceed my expectations. Right from my arrival in Moshi prior to starting the trek, Samson - the coordinator was clear and precise in explaining the itinerary and what to expect. Our two main guides for the duration of the trek, William and King Seleman were brilliant. They have a wealth of knowledge about the mountain, its nature and wildlife. They were approachable and they sure did make the trek more comfortable through their guidance and ‘pole, pole’ technique. The cook and the team of porters were undoubtedly the unsung heroes during the whole trek. They worked so hard with setting up and packing away the campsites. If it weren’t for the porters, the climb would be a lot harder. All in all, my experience on the mountain was incredible. The goal to begin with was to reach Uhuru Peak as a team and that’s exactly what we done. Thank you to all the team at Absolute Africa for the incredible journey.

Absolute best service you could dream to get. Wouldn't have changed a thing!
My wife and I went for a one day Safari from Dar and we had booked this trip without knowing what to expect except from the reviews we read online-- we were definitely not disappointed. These guys are incredible for several reasons. 1) Sylwia and Adam do an unbelievable job answering questions, helping with additional requests, and providing flexibility whenever we had a special request. 2) The tour guide/driver was incredibly punctual, safe, and knowledgable about the park and animals. He took us where we wanted to go for as long as wanted, took pictures for us, and we enjoyed great conversation. 3) Most importantly, these guys are honest and professional. There is absolutely no shady business and everything is certified, insured, and done the right way. Just to give you an idea of how great these guys are, we had inquired if they could help us secure ferry tickets to Zanzibar with 12 hours notice and instead, they found us chartered plane tickets that turned out to be cheaper (and sold out online) and delivered them to our hotel for free. Like who does that? Lastly, they have the best value and most competitive prices for what they do for you. Highly recommend them if you're considering any safari or adventure!

2 day safari Tarangire/Ngorongoro
We had the most wonderful experience with Shemeji! The original plan for our vacation (two people) was to take the bus to arusha and then organise a safari on the spot. But then we heard about Shemeji from a friend about a week before and decided to give it a shot. Emma was super helpful and organised everything in only three days. We got picked up at Venice hotel (highly recommend it!) by our guide Omari and spent two days in Tarangire NP and Ngorongoro crater. We spent the night in a tented lodge called "heaven nature camp and lodge". The staff there was very nice and the food absolutely delicious! The two parks were a perfect balance between forest in the former (giraffes, elephants, monkeys) and open grassland in the latter (lions, hippos, buffalos). We saw even the rarer animals (rhinos, cheetahs) thanks to Omari's tremendous dedication and patience! He really did all he could to make us see as much of the parks as possible! All in all, highly recommended!

Absolutely awesome from beginning to end!
The owner of this full service tour agency is fantastic. She assisted my family of four plus another couple and a single all traveling together at the last minute to Mikumi Park. She arranged for our personal driver, game drive guide (who was incredible), overnight stay at a lovely hotel and all meals. We saw a huge array of animals including a lioness with her cubs! Thank you for an experience of a lifetime.

It is the first travel in Africa for us.
I'm Marco 56 yo, travelling with my guys: Filippo 24 yo and Gianluca 20 yo.

We visited Botswana, Moremi and Chobe, with a fast escape in Zimbabwe to Victoria Falls, by Toyota Land Cruiser double roof tends, perfectly equipped.
Megan Warrington planned a travel various, smart, perfect for our expectances; assistance, communications, service, living up were excellent.
We prove gratitude to Megan because African journey is established into our hearts!
