Communication leaves a lot to be desired
I feel like the Kanyezi staff did an adequate job but could have returned communications in a more timely manner and I never really felt confident in where I was in the process. It was a fabulous trip which was mainly due to the Sabi Sabi Reserve people.

I went to Mara with my friends and Joseph was great, he knew his work and also he was very patient.
Joseph was very professional and also patient with us. He made sure we understood everything that we encountered during our trip. We're looking forward to visit some new places in the near future and he will be our first choice. I highy recommend him to anyone who would like to experience the same.

A great 3 weeks of birding and nature exploring
What a great trip did we have!
Communication before the trip was great, very nice and friendly people and proper English most of the time.
Paul himself was our guide and responded before the trip on every email quite fast after sending it. In the field when we were out he probably did the same; great for his new customers but a little less great for us at that time. My advise would be to try to do this when you're not out with clients.
Paul is a great guy, he has good knowledge about the wildlife, the areas (he knows Uganda by head) and especially about the birds, although there is still room for improvements eg. when waders and swifts concerned. A lot of bird calls remain very difficult but I can't blame him because it is quite difficult indeed. I think we might have missed some species because of that but you can't know them all. On a number of occasions we were accompanied by some great guides who were a nice addition.
I think we really did not o.k. at Semliki birdwise; we missed too many birds so you might be more clearer to future clients only 10 to 15% of the birds mentioned are likely to be seen (in 1 or 1,5 days of birding). But luckily we did see some good birds and I appreciate the persistance Paul showed from time to time to find some good birds for us!
We had a really good car, we had no troubles with it whatsoever and Paul was always willing to put the rooftop up. He's a very careful driver and doesn't take any unneccesary risks. He knows how to handle the car when we wanted to take photographs and he is very friendly to fellow traffic users.
His equipment is o.k. and his eyes are really great; he sometimes saw more details with his bins then we did with our swaro's. Sharp eye!
When you're a hardcore birder with the aim to see as much birds as possible (no matter what) you should hire Paul together with Raymond (the royal Mile), Roger or Gordon (to name a few)... that's a combination which is great!
At the end we had a fantastic birding trip with a lot of nice mammals on the side. We saw 520+ bird species which is a good number in November I think. I'll have to come back in July to try to see some Broadbills, Antpitta and Semliki goodies. I definately recommend Paul and Terrain Safaris and probably hire them myself as well. Thank you Paul and Terrain Safaris for this wonderful experience! I wish you all the best!

Had a wonderful trip and experience with Benjamin . Everything went like clockwork.
The Safari was a trip of a lifetime. Benjamin was an excellent guide and the safari was tailored to our wish list. The Kalahari was a wonderful adventure and we even did two nights wild camping in Botswana. I would highly recommend Siya Phambile to any one who would prefer a more personal safari experience.

Amazing experience - Let’s Go were outstanding
The staff; Charles and Christine on the ground in Entebbe were so helpful, being on hand when we needed them. The gorilla trip surpassed all expections- I feel blessed to have had this experience.

Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro and safari
I and friends climbed Mt Kilimanjaro, it was a great experience. The teams created by Karibu Adventure was absolutely fantastic. Knowledge and enthusiasm was great. Everything was arranged in good order and the guides and Porter's guides us to the top brilliant. Safety and summit (top of Kilimanjaro) was always on the first place. After the climb we had a safari for 5 days with a fantastic driver from Tumain. He guides us through 4 national parks and showed us the big 5. I can recommend Karibu Adventure to everybody who wants to have the experience of their lifetime.
