Worth the experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed our Go Safari adventure! It was the perfect overnighter trip from Jo'burg. The staff was incredible, start to finish, helping us with all travel details. We enjoyed our transportation / driver(s) on all aspects of the trip... thoughtful, courteous, knowledgeable, flexible, and kind. We would highly recommend the tour group, location and overall experience.
My trip in kenya was amazing!!!.This tour was well organized from my arrival till my departure.
The safari was amazing, very beautiful landscape, varied wildlife, very
close contact with the local population and the local culture .The driver
was excellent and the food equivalent of excellent restaurants. The
companions were very good and were enjoying together.
I highly recommend this trip to people who want to explore the real
Africa.!!!

Amazing. Life-altering. The most beautiful place in the world.
Booking the safari was easy, Mark was knowledgeable about Kenya and all of the places I'd be going. He even gave advice about extra events I was considering attending --very well thought out. Communication was swift and simple. All of my questions were answered from the moment I booked the trip to the day when I hopped on the plane.
James was my guide. He was excellent in every way. Courteous, knowledgeable, kind, helpful... anything we wanted, he made it happen. His estimates on travel time were eerily precise. He was jovial and always made us laugh. I could not have asked for a better guide.
The accommodations were outstanding as were all of the hosts. It was truly a fantastic experience all the way around...
And the animals. The animals. We saw the big 5... the big six if you count the Maasai. Kenya is the most beautiful place on earth. I say this having spent almost 2 years in Antarctica (my former #1 most beautiful place), and having traveled extensively in: New Zealand, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Mexico, Canada, Western Europe and Ireland. Of all of these amazing places, Kenya now holds the key to my heart.
The people, the land, the animals... it's all so very powerful. For me, it completely altered my life. I not only came back to the states feeling very hakuna matata, but also have reevaluated my life, my values and how I want to continue being on this great planet. After 5 weeks, I am still completely hakuna matata. It's a beautiful thing.

Review about Moremi Game Reserve by GaryGamso
The Moremi Game Reserve retains that primitive look and feel, much like the Kalahari. But, in Moremi, with all it's water, we saw more leopard, wild dog, hippo and birds.

I found the reserve vast and full of Africa's predators, plus their game.
We enjoyed a mobile safari, camping among the animals. Our guide, Moses Ntema provided safe accommodations, hosted enjoyable evenings with specially prepared dinners, located lots of game and the predators who stalk them, and educated us on behaviors of lions, cheetah, and leopard. We spent hours sitting among lion prides, following leopards through the bush, or watching the cheetah lounge beneath shade trees in the Central Kalahari plains.

Just a fantastic experience being so close to a family of gorillas
Virunga Lodge was extremely good with excellent food and wine and on a hill overlooking two lakes. The room was huge and after the gorilla trek our clothes and shoes were taken for cleaning
Scenery amazing but the roads up into the hills especially that to see the golden monkeys awful surface
Our guide Wilson from Volcanoes safaris was realyt knowledgeable and friendly and our gorilla guide also
Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by Steve Bosworth
Queen Elizabeth National Park was a fantastic place to visit and to see all the wildlife including lions, elephants, various antelope along with so much birdlife complimented the fabulous views seen at dawn as the sun rose.
Review about Lake Mburo National Park by Steve Bosworth
The bush walk inside Lake Mburo was the best highlight as well as the lodge we stayed.
Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Steve Bosworth
To see the gorillas at Bwindi was an experience that I will always remember and to see the passion with the guides showed how important the conservation of these animals are for the future.
The overall experience was fantastic and well worth the visit.
I was very impressed with Uganda as a country and really enjoyed the enthusiasm from everyone I met. The wildlife spotting was fabulous and all the accommodation and food were excellent. Our tour guide was very passionate about the wildlife and scenery and all transportation was well planned.
