Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Eric Krissek

4/5

The forest is so dense that it is difficult to see a lot of animals, however, seeing and spending time with the gorillas makes this experience invaluable! Absolutely amazing!

5/5

Our experience in South Africa was remarkable. The silence of savana, the sunset and the wild life are spectacular. In addition, we were received by a very experient and lovely team from the "Wild Planet Safari company". They offered to us very comfortable camps, good food, very good explanation about wild life and total security. We totally recommend this experience.

The trip to trek for gorillas is completely worth the time and money to go!
Overall rating
4/5

We had a quick trip with Africa Tours Adventure to go Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Forest. We had a very good guide who drove us from Entebbe to Bwindi, which is an 8 hour trip. We stopped at the equator and shopped (which is a great place to barter). We had outstanding lodging arranged for us at Bakiga Lodge and at Birdnest Resort and loved the experience hiking with the gorillas. We were glad to take this trip while we were in shape since the hiking is very challenging.

We had the most amazing time - they did a great job organizing and making sure we had a good time.
5/5

This was an incredibly excellent trip. Everyone we dealt with was incredibly professional and friendly and everything exceeded our expectations. Our guide, John, made sure that the trip was memorable and was incredibly knowledgeable about everything. Cannot recommend him, or this company, highly enough.

A simple awesome experience
5/5

Simply awesome! Booked with Affordable Kilimanjaro; payment, booking, customer service - everything was excellent. We booked a 7 days Lemosho route climb for our first day at Kilimanjaro and though that it was completely worth it. Priceless tips and suggestions for the next few days made our trip unforgettable. Thank you!

More than just a company doing their "job" - they truly made our adventure a GREAT EXPERIENCE! They were so accommodating for us from setting everything for us. It was truly guaranteed

Incredible Experience - Tour Operator Goes Above and Beyond
5/5

I had an incredible experience with Shemeji Safari. I was interested in a two-person camping safari as it fit better with my budget, and Shemeji had the most cost effective option right off the bat. I corresponded with Emma, who always responded to my emails and questions in a timely manner. We only had time for a 5-day safari, so Emma helped us customize the itinerary based on our timeline. She also helped us arrange transfers, hotel before and after the safari, and even arranged towels for us when we mentioned we would prefer not to bring them ourselves (we only had carry-on backpacks).

When we were on our way to Tanzania, we ended up taking an earlier flight to Kilimanjaro. Emma was able to help coordinate an earlier transfer to the hotel, and the driver was waiting for us at the airport. We were picked up promptly the next morning by Benny (guide) and Charles (cook). What I really appreciated was that Benny would always explain where we were going, what we were doing, and share his knowledge of Tanzania. I found this to be much better than other tour operators we encountered on our trip, as usually we wouldn't know what was going on until we arrived at the destination. Benny also made it clear up-front which animals were common and rare - we're not guaranteed to see everything, but he'll do his best.

Benny definitely did his best! Throughout the safari, he would allow us ample time to see the animals when we found them. He also quickly learned what animals we wanted to spend more time looking at, and which he can just drive by (but still point out). He seemed to have very good rapport with other drivers (he's been doing safari's for 18 years!) and would frequently communicate with them to learn where rare animals would be seen. He also wouldn't hesitate to drive across the park if he heard a rare animal sighting, just so we could see it! When not on game drives, he'd help set up the campsite for us, give us tips regarding when to shower to get warm water, how to deal with going to the bathroom in the night, and he was one of the only guides I saw who would actually have dinner with us and share his culture. It definitely made the experience much better.

Charles was an amazing cook. We joked that we ate better on safari than we did at home! When at the campsite for breakfast and dinner, we'd get an appetizer, main course, and dessert, and everything was delicious. His lunch boxes were also amazing - they always filled us up, and were different everyday. He'd also adjust meal times so that we wouldn't deal with the bugs that come out at night or so we'd miss the crowds after dinner. He also picked up a bottle of local wine for us on the last night to celebrate the fact that it was our honeymoon.

At the end of it all, we were exhausted, but we saw the Big 5, multiple cats, and many other animals. We actually ended up tipping double what we originally intended to just because Benny and Charles exceeded our expectations that much. To top it all off, Emma also personally followed up after the safari to make sure we had had a great experience. Because of all this, I recommend Shemeji Safari without hesitation! Thanks for the great experience!

Was a great trip with top notch guides/drivers. Saw some things I had not seen before when on Safaris. I would highly encourage anyone considering a trip to Uganda/Murchison Falls to book it through these fine folks. You will NOT be disappointed!!!
