Our Visit in Uganda and Rwanda
Our safari with Saso Uganda Safaris was absolutely wonderful, we enjoyed every minute of it!
Kasim, our guide, was excellent. He is a fantastic wildlife spotter who will see the ear of a lion sticking out of the grass at 1 km distance - amazing! He was also extremely good in positioning our vehicle always in the best position for observing and photographing, meaning he was excellent in anticipating the animal's behavior.
Saso team always replied immediately to all our inquiries and changes of plan and this made it extremely easy for us. Thank you all for an overwhelming and unforgettable trip!!!

The life of the human being in its purest state.
My experience in the Mago National Park was incredible, because I had the opportunity to meet a native guide. He took me on a motorcycle all over Park and I can meet many villages of the Mursi tribes. When I visited each town, the only "farengi" was me. That was good luck. I can also visit other areas of the park and I can see many animals on the way. The weather was good, but at noon it was hot.

A wonderful destination off the beaten path
We spent almost a week in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and the long drive was worth it. The rugged but beautiful scenery of the Kalahari is certainly one highlight of the park, being the other the high chance of viewing one or several of Africas big cats. In total we saw several lions and three cheetahs and could observe and enjoy them without the rush as in many other parks.
Entry and exit via Mata-Mata was easy and stress-free. For exploring the park by your own, a 4WD vehicle is highly recommended, as there are many sandy passages. The campsites on the South-African side of the park were very-well maintained and while Nossob, Mata-Mata and the wilderness camps give you a great and authentic experience, Twee-Rivieren is busier but still recommended for a night stay in order to explore the surroundings. The heat during the day was bearable in July but be prepared for the cold to freezing nights during the winter months.
Overall, this park is highly recommended if you want to enjoy unspoiled nature and can live with the fact that you won't be able to see the big fives.

Review about Selous Game Reserve by Jaume
Great safari in Selous, last July 2018. Three days/two nights. We saw all the animals expected, including lions, buffalo, hippos, and a elephant. The weather was great in july: no rain and a great temperature. Selous occupies an enormous territory, so is difficult to find others vehicules, except in the encounters with lions and elephants because they are more difficult to find. Selous is an area not overcrowded by tourism.

Tanzania is a beautiful gem in the heart of Africa.
Our group of four adults loved Tanzania. Tanzania has always been a bucket list destination for us and it did not disappoint. On our Selous safari we saw a variety of wildlife including giraffes, lions, wildebeests, a lion, a water buffalo, hippos, and a variety of beautiful birds. In addition, the scenic beauty of the county is hands down amazing and the people are welcoming with a smile. We definitely plan to visit Tanzania again.

The organization and the trip to Selous was perfect.
We booked a safari trip to Selous for two nights/three days with Gecko Adventures. All the process was perfect, from the given information, budget, changes, requests and specially the attention given by Rama. The final price for the safari was competitive. Our trip was from Zanzibar by plane, and our lodge was the Selous River Camp. The accomodattion in a triple Mudhut was great, just in front of the river. All the staff in the lodge were nice. The guide of all safaris was very professional. The weather in july was perfect. No rain and a nice temperature.

A spectacular life time experience
My wife and I spent 8 days in Tanzania, our trip was amazing thanks to Afrishare safari that organised our vacation, we landed at Kilimanjaro airport where we met Ibrahim from Afrishare; he was very kind to come pick us up from the airport, despite his busy schedule, we drove to Arusha city to stay at Mount Meru Hotel; a place with scenic views, good dining area and good service. our stay there was only for one night; but we highly recommend it, we also got to take a tour around Arusha before sunset on a motorcycle, it was a good experience.
On our second day we met with our Safari driver and we started our trip heading to Tarangire National Park for an all day game drive, one of Tanzania's natural reserves, northerly located, we were lucky we got to see plenty of Animals; cheetahs, Impalas, Ghazals, Giraffes, many Elephants as well.
We stayed at Nimali Tented Camp; a luxurious lodge located on the boundaries of Tarangire park; we were amazed by the elephants located in front of the camp which made sunset look even more wonderful. the place is very warm and cozy, we felt as if we were in our own home, in the evening we gathered around the bonfire and enjoyed a very romantic dinner under the stars.
We arrived to Ngorongoro Crater on our third day; the most beautiful park of all. The crater is full of animals, we got to see the big five there, it was crowded with visitors since it was the high season, however Ngorongoro is most definitely a must. We got to see a rhino there
Our stay was at Ngorongoro sopa lodge; it's our favourite place of all places we stayed in, with amazing views and delicious food, however; it's much colder than the rest of the places hence its on the edge of the crater's rim.
Then we spent 4 days at Serengeti national park, with almost 15 thousand kilometers of endless savannah plains; We were lucky enough to witness the great migration where wildebeests, zebras and many ghazals crossed Grumeti River, and we did an air balloon ride and watched the sun rising over Serengeti, we watched animals from the air. The driver was very cooperative and took us to all the places we asked for . We saw a few leopards and lions feasting
We stayed at two different tented camps; Asanja Under The Stars; we watched the sunset from a perfect point of view and watch the dazzling night sky full of stars, the tent we stayed in is called warrior tent, very nicely decorated, with a comfy bed, with toilet and shower inside the tent as well, food there was great. the drive to the Tent is a little long when driving from central serengeti. On the way we saw a Rhino and an elephant was getting a bath in the same submerged road we had to cross. it was intense. overall we do recommend staying there.
the second place was katikati tented camp in the north of Serengeti near the Maru river. the drive was long from central Serengeti but Hajj our Driver did a good job finding the place. The lodge was much simpler less luxurious, but friendly and cozy. Tenants dine with the driver and chat with him over a warm, delicious meal. on the way to the camp we say groups of tens of thousands of wildebeests migrating. We also saw some crocs in the river
We ended our trip by flying through Kogatende airstrip in Serengeti, where I sat next to the pilot in a small five seater cessna plane.
We'd like to thank Afrishare, Ibrahim and Haj our driver for this amazing trip. they were amazing through planning up until we flew out to Zanzibar, and made sure that we were happy and comfortable.
