Perfect safari with super safe driver!
Uganda has lots of great things to do and much beautiful thnings to see. So make sure that you are going on a safari at least for 3 days.
I can totally recommend Loving Hearts. It is not just the amazing hostel und the incredible work at their school, ot is also the organisation of safaris! We did a "3 night" safari with them and an extra "gorilla safari" the other day. Both was totally perfect. Good organisation, good accomodations and the important thing: a good driver!
Next time in Uganda, we will book the same agency again!

Things to do before dying
Great experience, saw every animal closely (6-15 ft). Issac, maagie and team were professional. Stay was great too.
One improvement suggested:
1- water bottles should be provided. Can be added as an option to add in package.
I will surely recommend it to my friends and will come back again.

Cannot flaw! Top notch safari
We experienced a wonderful tailor-made safari thanks to Erica and the team. Their prompt communication and action allowed us to plan the perfect safari at the very last minute and secure an unmatched package relative to the other providers. Their experience and knowledge of the areas is exceptional. All the camps (more like luxury glamps!) were above and beyond expectation in all aspects. The service and care from Safari Specialists really shone when I became unexpectedly unwell and missed a flight midway through the itinerary. They were onto it straight away; ensuring I was okay, arranging emergency accommodation, rearranging the itinerary to ensure I could experience the best safari in the remaining days and even communicating with my insurance provider when I was unable to. I cannot thank them enough!

The Best Place in the World
When I think of Africa, you think of the Serengeti. Endless plains with a huge number of animals. Due to the presence of preys, there are many predators. We were there four days and lions, cheetah, leopard, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, ostriches, hyenas, warthogs, mongoose and many species of birds and antelopes seen. Best Nature place to be loved by all.
The Serengeti National Park is expanse of National Park that is so huge it cannot be comprehended. The Best place where people should go. I will tell everybody to go and visit there every year.

The trip of a lifetime!
The safari was an amazing and unforgettable experience. We chose to go to Ngorongoro crater and the Serengeti (6 days). All the hotels/lodgings we went to were great, clean and with great service. The food was also really good. We got upgraded by Noah (for free!!!) to the luxury tents resort on the west side of the Serengeti. This part was more quiet, had less game to see but it also meant that whenever we spotted something, we were the only ones there! We saw all the big 5 but sort of missed the great migration. Our guide was Robert and he was really amazing. Very patient, kind and had a keen eye for spotting animals. He also loved his job, which made our trip even more enjoyable! You can safely book with Wildebeest Safaris, both Noah and our guide were very professional.

Exactly what I was looking for in my African adventures!
Was very impressed and and happy with Barafu and my choice to choose them to make my Kilimanjaro dreams come true! Their professionalism and safety were unprecedented and because of them, my brother and I were able to conquer the summit. The Rongai Route allowed us to see some wildlife and also avoid the crowds. I'm not used to hiking with hundreds of people, the this was the route for us. Barafu treated their porters with respect and in return, they worked harder for us. I never once felt uncomfortable or in question of their service. Thank you Barafu for everything! We will be back!

Krueger, Swaziland, Mosambique - an african experience
We did AVOs first tour leading to Krueger, Swaziland and Mosambique with Erica, Ted and Wayne in Dec 2016.
The itinerary was amazing; from wonderful landscape, big wild animals to wonderful beaches we had a terrific tour.
Internet communication in advance with Erica was professional, quick and correct. On tour everybody always tried to help and to meet all expectations whenever some problems occurred. Even when some of the participants wanted to stay longer in one accomodation on Tofu beach AVO were so flexible to organize that.
The bus was comfortable, with good seats and AC, however it was not a Safari-Truck. So we could not go into the Parcs with our own vehicle but had to book the activity package resp. the extra tours.
Meals were good and always plenty, sometimes in restaurants , sometimes self prepared Braai.
You must know that eastern Africa is different, people tend to forget reservations, border contols take a lot of time, traffic is unforeseeable, roads are deviated all of a sudden...So you can´t compare to a European "Rundreise". It´s a long time on the road sometimes....usually 2 hours more than scheduled.
Customers should be prepared to help preparing meals, carrying their own luggage and packing the containers.
Some disappointment occurred because some accomodations had to be changed - especially places within the Krueger or the Hllane Parc with an own waterhole were changed to places outside the parcs, only situated in a nice landscape and some half an hour drive outside the parc. Others showed long faces because the evening safari could not take place or the ocean safari had to be delayed because of problems with the motor of the boat and booking problems. In the end most issues were solved somehow.
Since this was the first iteration of the tour we are sure that some of these difficulties can be avoided in following tours.
In the end: even if some things were other than expected, we enjoyed the holiday with AVO Orange!
