Meet as strangers and leave as friends.
Umoja Motherland tours is a small company that really puts the customer first. My brother and I will never forget the unbelievable Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking. They are truly life altering events. We were fortunate to have who I think is prob the best guide, Patrick, you could ask for. In addition we were blessed to have an intern Francis, who I know will make an excellent guide also. I am extremely grateful to have met these two men and Agnes too. They provided us with a bucket list trip of a lifetime. If you are interested in safari's and trekking, I highly recommend Umoja Motherland tours. You could not be in better hands. From meeting at the airport as strangers to leaving as friends. If I make it back to Africa, I will use them again. No need in trying another company when we were taken care of so good. Hope to see you all again.

Authentic customise safari and splendid experience
The safari was amazing. I got great information from Sino Africa Mr Vincent to pick our safari destination parks.
Sino Africa also arranged best driver for us, our guide was Solomon, he was very kind and knowledgeable. He had a book with detailed information on all the animals was very good at spotting them. We felt so lucky and apprecaited to have him on our safari. Because he was always on time, and showed us everything!
I really can not recommend them enough.

Visited a Very stunning and inspiring place on our tour!
We were on the 4 day tour with Frena Adventures and we had very great expectations about Lake Bunyonyi from everything we read and heard. But it shows everything true as we reached there. It was very wonderful to take in the views from both on top of the hills and down right on the surface... the light and the water and the islands... like a place where you can take the awesome pictures always! As per my experience, I recommand to go stay on the islands when you are here, like Bushara or definitely Byona Amagara looked great. Also eat up at the Lake Café on top of the hill! Great food and great views at Lake Bunyonyi. It was a great time at there.

Excellent services for our trip in the National Parks of Tanzania.
About Communications : I got instant feedback every time from East African Jungle Safaris on all my emails and messages, they were regularly calling us during the trip to check if everything was ok. Our driver/giude Frank was always finding strategic positions from which we had wonderful views of the animals. During the tour we got accommodations with very good camps and excellent lodges. Unforgettable memories from Tanzania with East African Jungle Safaris. Thanks for making everything soo wonderful..!

6-Days of Gorilla and Safari trip
The trip was excellent and we would highly recommend this company to others. It was well planned-organised tour, our guide Apollo was excellent, Knowledgeable and we had great company with him. The accommodation and meals were truly very good. Above all the daily trips we undertook were amazing, to see the gorillas was the experience of a life time, together with land and lake safaris every day brought something new. Got some different sceneries from the plains of Uganda to the rain forests of the mountains in Uganda and Rwanda. Bring a good camera and garters to keep the safari ants out. The only thing that I wouldn't do again is the night safari, but everything else gets my vote with 5-star.

One of a Kind, Once in a lifetime
My wife and I toured with Marcus for about a week and. We have spent time with many other guides, but I can truly say that Marcus was a notch above. He is incredibly kind, energetic and passionate about what he does. Most importantly, he's incredibly knowledgable and a wonderful teacher. We watched as he engaged kids on their first safari and true veterans alike. In every step of the journey, Marcus made it clear that he cared about us and went above and beyond in making our experience once in a lifetime. I think the thing we remember most about Marcus is that we found that he loves his work so much that it almost felt like he was as (or more) excited than us to pursue wildlife on our game drives. He has been taught by some of the best in the business and is most certainly a rare and wonderful gem for anyone lucky enough to book his services.

Do not book!
I many problems with this operator. The guide asked me to pay entry into a park then later again w a hotel booking I already paid for which totalled $500usd. I think they hope we feel bad and then let it go. I luckily didnt carry mich cash on me and refused. There was messing abt and possibly no hotel stay. I stood my ground and demanded reimbursement for the amt owed. I was also taken on a shonky coffee tour not like described but by 2 rogue kids.
I was in tears fighting them 2 hrs before my airport transfer and ended up arriving to the airport w 30mins to go.
From my Tripadvisor review i was contacted by numerous people who were swindled their deposit. The company went down, changed names then restarted again under it started in africa.
After my review they offered me monetary compensation to take my review down. I refused. Then coincidentally my tripadvor account kept sending me emails that i wanted to reset the password. Im not accusing anyone of hacking but it was interesting times.
I was emailed by Bernard to review my trip again so they could use it for other travellers. Hope this finds everyone well as a clear warning! I do not advise putting any deposit into this company. Other tours exist so research well and contact the reviewers

A Gem in the City
I have heard about Nairobi National park, but never had a real interest in visiting probably due to the many alternatives outside Nairobi. But this year decided to try it due to limited options. We booked with my girlfriends through Skywide and I was particularly impressed by their safety measures while you enjoy the game drive. They limit the number of people in their vehicles to maximum 6people to ensure there was social distance in the vehicles, masks and hand sanitizers were provided too. The driver Guide was cool and he would give interesting stories of the many animals we saw during our short morning game drive.
