Amazing Experience
First of all I would like to thank you for this amazing company that gave us an amazing and indescribable trip. The staff has a good knowledge and the places offered are amazing. The services offered exceeded all expectations (food, car and hotel). I would also reccomend the experience in Massai Village.

Amazing honeymoon - Uganda Tanzania - 3 weeks private tour
Contacted Tony from Mamaland after a positive reference from my brother and reading only but positive reviews about them online .. and yeah they're amazing , they gave us the honeymoon we've dreamed of !!
Honestly, looking back now, we would do exactly the same honeymoon: same company, same route, same accomodations, ... not change a thing ! That says it all, no?
Tony is a fantastic, warm, friendly, flexible and passionate tour-guide, bird-lover and football-addict with an astonishing knowledge of nature and culture, not only from the countries they offer tours for, but also from many other countries in the world !
The contact through mail went very fluent. Tony proposed a route based on our interests and available days and we were able to adapt both the route as the accomodations, based on things we've read online and from other tours.
Of course, Tanzania (Ngorongoro and Serengeti) has amazing NP's, unique in their type and is a must see! But Uganda as a country has suprised us very positively as well, especially the people's hospitality and the variation of activities and sights throughout the country (rafting on the Nile, seeing the big 5 in Murchison Falls, doing walks with birds and monkeys in the crater area, seeing the gorilla's in Bwini, etc etc). Yep, a true undiscovered pearl!
Thank you Tony for organising it all and thank you Charles and Hussain for guiding us around !
Cheers,
Joachim and Loes

Nice trip
We had a great safari with Elena and Mahu. Elena is extremely knowledgable and seemed to know exactly what we wanted to do and/or see and when. She has an extraordinary ability to track down whatever animal we wanted to see! Mahu was great as well, very obliging and eager to please and very dedicated to explaining everything to us in great detail. They were both great with the kids too, which is an added bonus! Many thanks for satisfied customers!

Good organized, well communicated and friendly welcomed!!
it started all with the mail from Sander, grassrootzuganda.com, after I send a request at safaribookings.
Already the planing for the trip was very uncomplicated and flexible. 2 weeks before we started, the number of the group was not fixed. Also with the exact date Sander helped us a lot.
We've been picked at our hotel, the driver called a day before. The trip up to Kidepo is quit long, but the driver was good and he tried to make it comfortable as possible for us.
The commandatio, buffalo base, is not greatest I've ever seen, but for that great price good and clean. We had warm shower, power for the phones in the evening and a nice place outside to relax.
One of the bist thing there, the cook! we got really great breakfast and supper!! lunch was is the park, was ok, but buffalo base was really good.
The result of the whole group was great, every one want to do it again, if time and every other stuff allow it;)

Wonderful Safari in Madikwe
From the moment that Anya (Visser) picked up our enquiry for a safari trip, everything was really well organised, and very smooth. She followed up on all my queries and provided fantastic service. Anya, thank you so much :)
We wanted to fly to the Lodge and have a drive back to Johannesburg, when we arrived at the Airport after leaving Cape Town a presentative was waiting for us, nice, friendly guy, he drove us to our Hotel and helped us with our luggage, stayed with us until we had checked in. The Hotel in Johannesburg was very nice, again very friendly staff. Next morning we were picked up for a transfer flight to the Lodge, again the driver was great, really knowledgeable about the history of SA. Flight was easy, on arrival at Madikwe we were met by our Rangers who transferred to our accommodation. It was stunning, Etalie Safari Lodge. big room, well appointed over looking the bush, small spa pool on the balcony, you could just sit and wait for animals to walk past etc. We saw the Big 5 and much much more. Got so many photos (check out facebook!!). We were so upset to have to leave such a stunning place.
Would 100% recommend using Pembury Tours (hopefully you'll get Anya to organise your trip)

Amazing Safari
My 8-day safari with Charles and Gorilla Bookings was amazing! Communication ahead of the trip with Justus was clear and quick - even after hours messages. The ability to see so many parks and animals in such a short time was incredible and Charles was a fabulous host and guide. The AC went out on the van one day, but he was quick to get it fixed at the next stop and without a delay in our schedule. I would recommend Gorilla Bookings to anyone going to Uganda and wanting to see the Silverback Gorillas and all that Uganda has to offer!

Amazing Trip Up Mt Kenya
Had an amazing trip up Mt Kenya - I took 27 youth from Mombasa and we all made it to the top. Bushtroop did an amazing job organizing everything, which isn't easy with such a large group. But we were well taken care of. They had great advice and were very encouraging along the entire trip, always checking in and making sure we had everything we needed and were doing well. This is my 2nd time climbing Mt Kenya with Bushtroop and I will continue to use them in the future.

Safari blue beautiful
We were on blue safari which is a boat trip with snorkel and swimming in the ocean in the most beautiful blue water. We saw a lot of colorful fish and we ate lunch on a island. We got a hugh fish menu and it was very good. The trip was well planned and our guide, chef and captain was very sweet and funny.
We can definitely recommend Zanzibar Cholo Tours.
