Fabulous service and experience
We had the most amazing trip with Experience Uganda, the service and our whole holiday was truly fabulous.
Kevin was brilliant at answering all our emails promptly and providing us with all the information we needed.
We would definitely use Experience Uganda again! Thank you again for the most wonderful holiday.

Wonderful individual Safari experience
Thanks to Compass and to the local guides Emanuel and Mortimer. My son and I had a great safari trip in Botswana, Zim and Zam. Perfectly organized. Great job.

You get what you pay for
We went with the budget option but even so considering the price is nothing to complain about. The safari experience itself was very good.

amazing bang for your buck
Staff maintained good communication before the trip and picked me up at the said time. The guide and driver was great and answered all our questions. Accommodation isn't five stars but more than enough. I heard elephants trumpeting at night! We saw all the big five and more than once. It was incredible.

Safari dreams beautifully met by Flash- beyond our dreams!!!
While examining an overload of safari tour company sites and getting high price quotes I was becoming discouraged. Then I saw several references to Flash Safaris. I sent our desired itinerary along with a request for a modest budget and received an almost immediate reply from Magda. She was always professional, detailed and quick to respond. Although I requested places to stay she made suggestions for alternatives based on her experience. We went with those and were pleased we did so. We were four adults with special food and medical requirements which she made certain would be accommodated.
Magda met us at the airport, picked us up the following day at her suggestion and escorted us around Arusha markets- beyond the call of duty! We also met her business partner Edward, a native Tanzanian whose conversational English is very proficient, who took us to the airport.
I had told her I was interested in a guide who knew and would stop for birds. No problem. Every day of our 18 days, 11 on a slow paced safari and 7 in Zanzibar, was a marvel thanks to Magda's advice plus our excellent safari driver/guide Abraham. Our wishes were always graciously accommodated by him.
Her personal service, genuine friendliness and ability to meet and exceed our expectations will long be appreciated!!! This is an extremely reliable, ethical small company. Do not hesitiate to book with Flash!!!!

Excellent service and great value.
My wife and myself did a 3 day/2 night budget safari with Jocky tours. We stayed at the Eco camp which has a full size bed, hot showers and a flushing toilet. We expected a small 2 man tent so this was very welcome. On the game drive we saw Lions, cheetahs, leopards (with a gazzelle in its mouth), Elephants, Buffalo, Hippos, Crocs...etc. We didn't see a rhino but i believe they are quite rare. Our guide, Joshua, was very knowledgeable about the animals and worked hard to get us to see as much as possible. I advise to at least do a 2 night tour as we met people on the 1 night tours and you really don't get enough time to see all the animals.

Fantastic experience - perfect organization by Makasa from A to Z
From the first contact with Miriam (who planned our entire Safari and the stay in Zanzibar afterwards), Ngomi's welcoming us in Moshi, the wonderful, exciting, touching and unforgettable Safari itself with Kalebi to the smooth transfers to Zanzibar's Mwezi Hotel and back to our longhaul flight: the entire program was not only perfectly organized but also played out very well.
Miriam had a good feeling about what we were interested in and how to create the best suitable plan for us and Kalebi - what can we say... He has an enormous knowledge on flora, fauna and culture. We could ask him anything we wanted to know and he would gladly share information and stories with us. He is not only a smart and careful guide but also a sincerely kind person.
We thank the entire Makasa team for giving us two weeks we will never forget - we will recommend you wherever we can!

Greatest experience, company & guide in East Africa, the opinion of a professional world traveler
I solo travel full time and understand the importance of hiring someone with experience so that I can maximize my learning in my cultural adventures. The tours at Gorilla Bookings are made to be the best experiences that you can possibly get according to your budget and time allowance. When traveling in Africa communication is usually the most difficult part, with dramatic time differences and things usually working on "African Time." This just isn't the case with Justus, the man that handled all my communications, sometime immediately answering my ridiculous questions at 3,4,5 in the morning his time. I was impressed before i even arrived. This trip changed the fabric of me, and that was mostly due to the greatest guide in East Africa named Charles. Charles was my companion, guide, teacher and after a few days life long friend. he has been the single best guide i have had on any continent, in any of the 50+ countries i have visited. I will never go back to East Africa without him. All involved are the rockstars of the wonderful tourism industry in East Africa. I would never book with anyone else, or recommend otherwise.

Great experience!
We really enjoyed our safari with Endless Summer Tours and Stephen who was our guide. It was kind of hard to choose from all the options when looking for a safari but we are SO happy we chose this particular one. It really was exactly what we were looking for. Stephen was very easygoing and was very flexible to our requests. Food was very good and the accommodation was very nice and close to nature. And most important of all, we saw a lot of animals up close :)
I am definitely going to recommend this tour to all my friends!
