Wonderful day trip at Tarangire
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience at Tarangire national park! The communication with Richard was perfect, and he made sure to have everything arranged despite the very short notice we gave him. James, our driver and guide, was incredibly kind and experienced, and we really enjoyed spending a day with him. This was our first safari experience and we didn´t really know what to expect. Now I can say that I´m glad we chose Mali Kale, as the service with got was definitely worth the price, which was also very convenient!

Well organised trip with good drivers and reliable vehicles
The trip was well organized and the correspondence between the drivers and the team was well coordinated.

Wonderful time in Kenya with Jackson
We had an excellent time with Classic Safaris! From our arrival in Nairobi to our drop off back at the airport, everything was handled professionally. The tour descriptions online were accurate and accommodations and meals were excellent throughout. We can't say enough good things about our guide, Jackson, who knew so much about each area and the wildlife and helped us to see all of the big five during our relatively short safari. We wished the first hotel in Nairobi were a little nicer and in the future would pay more for it to be, but the other accommodations more than made up for this. Notably, Jackson and Classic Safaris went out of their way when our flight was delayed to fill our afternoon and evening with a visit to feed giraffes and get dinner and then dropped us off safely at the airport. We would definitely travel with them again in the future!

Great attention to details and wonderful guides and drivers.
Aramati Safaris were excellent at working with our expectations and tweaking things to meet the details we wanted to incorporate into our visit.

This stunning park is the definition of unique
I have visited and worked in many parks around southern Africa and Nyika will always hold the top position for me. I had been given an idea of what to expect but could never have been prepared for the drive into the park. While it's difficult to drive to, it is worth every bump and ditch along the way. I have never seen such stunning scenery. The green (after the rains) hills roll on forever and the patches of montane forest are a world of their own. Some areas will inevitably remind you of Scotland (pine forests are remnants of early park managers trying to get into forestry) until a roan or zebra rushes past and brings you back to Africa. A trip to Fingira Rock and the Juniper Forest are must-dos. The rock is climbable and gives stunning 360 degree views of the park (on a clear day you can supposedly see to Lake Malawi).
The elephants are elusive but their signs are everywhere. To see Nyika elephants is very special indeed. Some claim that Nyika is home to the highest density of leopards in central Africa and my experience there would not dispute this. I had the most amazing leopard sighting of my life there - a mother leopard caught a bushbuck and brought it back to her ~7-month-old cub to practice hunting on. Spotted hyaenas are relatively common and you will often hear them calling at night. It is a great place to bird with many endemics to be found throughout the small habitat patches.
Chelinda Lodge is a fantastic place to stay in the park with amazing and helpful managers. The offered activities include drives, rental of a mountain bike to explore, several day-long hiking trips, and fishing. To wake up in a log cabin while the mist comes through the pines surrounding you is rather surreal in this setting. I cannot more highly recommend Nyika.

Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by Diego Higuera
A place to see especially elephants and hippos, it is very difficult to see lions on the trees, because you do not see many lions.

Review about Kibale National Park by Diego Higuera
Kibale is incredible, you see many primates and apes, the only not so positive, is that many tourists and photographers for taking the best picture, do not respect the minimum spaces of distance with the chimpazees

A wonderful experience to see such creature in a wild
An experience guide-driver deliver a great trip. So wonderful weather in July. Food was so great at Flamingo Hill camp with professional and friendly staff. Zebra Plain Marra Camp in contrast food was so plain but local staff are trying do to everything to make you comfortable.
More than my expectations

Uganda is a place full of contrasts, sometimes in a positive way other times in negative
In Uganda you can live many experiences, some incredibles others not so much, sometimes there are certain social dynamics that make it difficult to move quietly in certain areas so you should always be well informed about safety. Public transport is not so easy, but it is a great adventure. The food often does not have a salad and soft drinks are sweet, sweet.

Rip off! Don't waste your hard earned money!
Poor communication, old vans for safari. Our van broke down and the safari was limited due to the status of the van. Didn't get to see all the animals at the maasai Mara. We had initially booked to stay at another hotel and they switched arrangements last minute to a mediocre camp that had bad food. Never again! Not worth it.
