Clear, prompt, communications are key for stress-free bespoke travel bookings.
This was our third family visit to Uganda but the first to include an element of safari. All three trips have been arranged through Advanced Tours and Travel. We don't take 'package deals'. We decide what places and activities we wish to include, ATT use their experience to make recommendations based on that, and then they make all the necessary bookings. Key to that is communications and that is one of ATT's many strengths. Clear, prompt, communications lead to a stress-free selection and booking process that mean you get the bespoke trip you want.
We book our airport transfers, accommodation, car hire, local guides, activities and excursions through ATT. We also use them for ForEx when in Jinja. We recommend them without reservation due to their experience with Uganda travel and clear, prompt, communications.

Amazing safari trip with awesome guide!
My family and me went on a two-day safari with Magufwa to see Tarangire NP and Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was very well planned in advance and so we had 2 very comfortable days which none of us will forget. Both parks are really awesome and our guide Sosthenos made sure we had the best time and good views of all the animals we were hoping for - even two black rhinos! We all can highly recommend to go with Magufwa. For me, it was my second tour with them, after visiting Lake Manyara NP for a day trip in April. Both tours were really great. Hope to see you guys again!

Amazying Start to End Safari
Amazing Memories Safaris made this trip to Kenya more than just a holiday, from the start when contacting Anne to the end being met by Anne as we departed Kenya, the engagement and interaction was off the highest standard we have experienced . Anne was " on the ball" reacting to every email and phone call whenever we had questions or requirements. Daniel our guide was incredible making sure we did not miss an opportunity during the safaris even if he had to travel long distances especially in the Mara. The choice of camps was fantastic, especially Entim in the Mara. We experienced 3 migration crossings from the camp. Amazing Memories are more than just a tour company they become friends. Looking forward to using them again- Babs Naidoo, South Africa

Amazing wildlife spotting, nice selection of hotels and very friendly guides
We booked a 12 days safari - 2 months prior to the starting date. Even though we asked for some changes concerning the itinerary at short notice (we started the traveling during the week of elections in Kenya) it didn't cause any problems and Mr Otieno managed to set up a new plan according to our wishes. The safari went very well: good organisation, reliable drivers/guides with perfect knowledge of the parks, routes and wildlife. We had a great time with both of them: Robinson in Kenya and Tom in Tanzania. Thank you again, guys! Accommodation has been completely satisfying throughout. Highly recommended and we would book again with Kenya Walking Survivors.

A perfect journey, which was organised in an excelent way
Everything was organised very well. Before the trip we received a beautiful photo book with our complete trip. With information of all locations. GPS coordinates, tips for shopping ,eating etc. And also TomTom and phone with prepaid card. All locations and game drives were very nice and well organised. Unfortunately our flight was delayed for two days, the late arrival was also handled very well.
I recommend to use tailor made for organising your african holiday.

Safari with Axis Africa Safaris and Peter? WHAT ELSE?
Lennox from the office helped us doing a great job: a lot of informations before our arrival (answers very fast to all our questions), he changed our schedule trip to help us (because we arrived in Nairobi late night with our flight and to organize to be out of Nairobi during the elections day), no account payment (all the payment settled before leaving the first day), there was a driver to pick up us where we were staying and another one to drop off us when we finished the Safari. Excellent service and attention, we really appreciated. We have decided for the Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara Safari, 4days-3 nights. We are a family, with two children of 9 and 14 years old and we were in a group of 8 people in total+driver. It was our first safari and it's been such a great experience....so amazing and unforgettable!!!! Simply WOW.... We saw all the big five and a lot of animals: zebras, hippos, giraffes, wildbeests, baboons, hyenas, crocodiles, birds, etc. It's incredible to have and see a lion just one meter next to you!!! The accomodation (the hotel near Lake Nakuru) was really a luxury place with a fab swimming pool and a big garden where to have relax time; then we stayed near the Masai Mara in a camp tent very nice and all the staff was very welcoming. It's has been so interesting to visit the Masai Village, to talk to them and learn something about their traditions. All the food served in both places was very good and customers have free water during all the safari. Last but not least, Peter, our driver during the Safari, is simply the best: really a good driver, he's a nice person, very polite and so friendly, we have spoken a lot with him, asking him all the secrets of savannah. He's got the GPS in his mind :-) We thank you so much Axis Africa Safaris for our wonderful staying, thank you so much Lennox for your helping and attention, thank you Peter we had a great time with you!!! Asante sana!!!

JDA arranged for us the trip of a lifetime which surpassed our expectations in all aspects.
From our first contact with JDA, Patrick and his team were responsive and enthusiastic partners is creating the trip of our dreams. He listened carefully to what we wanted, gave us choices, and then arranged for a trip that went like clockwork from the moment we arrived at our first destination. He was helpful with the odd details of a trip to Africa such as trip insurance and medical shots. The wildlife we saw and the walks we took were astounding. Each camp showered us with attention and provided exciting tracking and extraordinary wildlife viewing while assuring our safety. The variety of camps Patrick booked us in gave us new and different wildlife experiences each time. The food and service at each camp were fantastic and the accommodations were extremely comfortable and better. Patrick and JDA delivered exactly what we wanted and more, and we will book with JDA again anytime we wish to travel in the African continent again.

Sabi Sabi: One of our most remarkable trips ever!
Our trip to Sabi Sabi was absolutely fantastic. Not knowing what exactly to expect, we were blown away at how wonderful this trip was. The folks at Safari Bookings did a superb job of putting together our travel and accommodation package. The people were so nice and outgoing. We saw and learned amazing things because everyone at Little Bush Camp cared so much. Our Guide and Tracker, Fred and Zeb, made sure we got to see every possible item and every animal that was possible. The staff at Little Bush Camp were just outstanding. Qoli, Ryder, and Mumsy made sure we were never hungry or thirsty. The accommodations were jaw dropping. We could not have imagined anything as great as this. There is no doubt that we will return, just as quickly as we can.

Compass Odyssey made a perfect itinerary for us which met all our expectations.
The informations given to us from the pre- Safari up to the start of our journey was very helpful since this is our first visit to Africa. Compass Odessy was always prompt in answering our emails and has always communicated with us during our tour, to know if all goes well. The lodges selected for us are in very good locations, were comfortable, with friendly staff. Very good food were served and we enjoyed the " sun downing" cocktails in every afternoon game drive, watching the sunset in the midst of wilderness between elephants and hippos! We were always heartfully welcomed everywhere.Our guides in game drives and mokoro rides never let a question unanswered! It is a very educational tour and our great enjoyment is to see how Africa takes care of its wild life and its environment. Let's hope that all tourist would contribute to help them preserve it for the benefit of all.
