Communication difficult, great tour
It took me a while to decide on which gorilla tour from which tour operator to choose. I was looking around for one day tours starting from Kabale or Kisoro. I booked a tour with Gatatu, which had both a good price and good reviews (on safaribookings.com).
Contact with Gatatu was by e-mail with the owner. In his first e-mail to me he said that I would pay at the start of the safari either in Gatatu’s office or to my guide. But because Gatatu had to buy my gorilla permit for the trekking date I asked if I shouldn’t pay for at least the permit before. Then I received a reply that money did have to be transferred to Gatatu’s account.
I had to transfer the full amount which I did, but Gatatu did not buy the permit before the money was received. One week later they had received the money, but it took 3 more days until I received a message from the owner saying he bought the permit the day before. The waiting for Gatatu buying the permit (in total 9 days after payment) and telling me about it made me pretty nervous as I had read that permits could be sold out. Also the payment information I first received turned out to be incorrect and after finding out they had received the money it still took 2 days for Gatatu to buy the permit.
The gorilla tour itself was great. First I could enjoy the landscape during the early morning drive from Kabale to Bwindi Park. Mist was hanging over the valleys, a beautiful sight. Then during the gorilla tour we had found the gorillas very quickly and they came very close, especially 2 babies.

The safari with Enosa was really great! We had a vehicle for our self for the 5 days and our guide Shirima was very experienced and we have seen a lot of different animals!
Food was really good and plenty, and we enjoyed the time very much.
Thank you very much also for the good communication - would reccommend to anyone!

A really wonderful experience provided by Jerome and his team.
A FANTASTIC experience provided by the Kileo tours company. I would highly recommend using this company due to their attention to detail and no problem being too big. The trip started with a problem whereby my bag did not arrive at the airport, this meant that the trip had to start a day late. This was not a problem for Jerome and his team and they made great effort in making me feel comfortable in my surroundings. They are clearly experienced in what they do and this helped make it an unforgettable experience. However, the biggest compliment I can pay is how Jerome goes out of his way to ensure that you are enjoying yourself. I enjoyed it so much that I am now looking at safari opportunities with the same company.

Amazing Safari
We just came back from our first safari in Africa and it was above our expectations. We took 12 days safari in Kenya with KWSS and we had a really unforgettable trip. Mr.Otieno was very professional and prompt in replying all our questions and provided us with a customized itinerary.
We visited Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria and Maasai Mara. Each place was attractive and beautiful in a different way, we enjoyed all of them. I would only skip Lake Bogoria, because due to long distances and roads condition it sometimes took longer to travel between the parks than assumed in the itinerary.
Every day we had a very good accommodation (the lodge at Lake Nakuru where we spent the New Year's Eve was a highlight) and an excellent food.
Special thanks to our guide Ken. He is a very experienced driver and has an amazing eye for spotting all the animals at such a distance. He did the best to show us the wildlife as much as possible and patiently stopped each time when we wanted to take a photo. Ken took really good care of us and we felt very safe all the time.
We had a wonderful time, saw amazing wildlife and we will definitely go with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris again. Asante sana!

A bad organitzacion tour
It was a bad experience.
Every day they come to pick up late, the excursions were different that we read on the tour information. The last day they don't pick up us to take to the airport, we've got to take a taxi after waiting and calling them for more than 30 minutes.
The guides were so kindly and good, but the organitzacion was very bad.
