mostly reliable!!
Doing a gorilla tracking was one of the main reasons travelling to Uganda. The communication with Encounter Africa Safaris was just perfect. Prompt responses to all our questions, very flexible with our wishes, easy online-payment system through credit card and mostly reliable. Die Broadbill Camp in Bwindi which was included in the package was a great place to stay.
We would highly recommend this agency (run by ugandans!!)

Wow what a great trip!
We would greatly recommend this company to others. Thinus was very knowledgeable, resourceful and accommodating. His good humor and personal story were also a plus. His choice of lodges and itinerary maximized our group comfort and ability to experience the flora and fauna of Namibia,Botswana and Vic falls.

Probably our best holiday ever
After watching numerous wildlife documentaries on TV we decided it was time to see Africa for ourselves.
We found several companies on line who appeared to be able to offer a complete tailor made booking service. After talking to several them we decided to book with Safari Club, as the consultant seemed to have personally visited most of the game reserves and lodges and her knowledge and advice was incredibly helpful.
Safari Club proved to be an excellent choice as everything worked like clockwork from the meet and greet service at the airport, to lunch on our final day in Nairobi.
As we had ten nights available our consultant suggested visiting three different and contrasting areas - Lewa Downs, Amboseli and the Masai Mara. This was a great choice as there was so much to do and see we never had a dull moment.
The service and quality of the safari camps that were recommended to us easily exceeded our expectations and the wildlife was amazing. On one day we saw four of the “Big Five” plus a cheetah mother with three small cubs that were incredibly cute.
When can we go again?

Big 5 became Big 7 !
We selected Wildlife Safaris because of the quick and efficient response from Christine Duxbury.
The tour was amazing. Everything well organized, lodging, meals, transport.
But it was Hoppy who made us happy. Because of his sharp eye and his knowledge of where to find the animals according to the weatherconditions of the day, we saw so many different animals.
Lots of beautifull birds and the Big 5 plus the extra 2 ( wild dogs and cheetah).Fun and laughter on top of that in our group made it an unforgettable trip. Thx Hoppy!

Great first safari experience
This was our first safari and Seven Wonders made it unforgettable experience. The communication before arriving was quick and clear. The program was explained in every detail and all of our questions were answered briefly. We had a very good guide-driver Edward, who picked us up in the morning from the hotel. Edward spoke good english, new a lot about wild animals and could spot many of them. He was a very nice person, highly recommended! We lived in a camp, which was basic but fullfilled all of our needs. We even had a private shower at the back of our tent!! All in all three days at the safari were great and thanks to Seven Wonders Safari.

A memorable adventure for the whole family, breathtaking beauty up close, well looked after.
We booked online from the UK and always got a prompt and efficient reply by email from Teresa with good suggestions tailored to our preferences. Our guide Twaha was always on time, lots of fun, and the whole family got to know and like him. (Our children were 9, 12 and 15.) He was flexible and helpful, always happy to explain about local culture. He was able to tell us fun facts about animals, trees etc. and answer most questions, although he didn't have as much detailed knowledge as the guides who work at the parks. He knew his way around, and was constantly in touch with other guides by phone, finding hyenas and lions for us and getting us so close to giraffes we could almost have reached out and touched them. The van opened up at the top so we could stand up in the shade and take photos. He even let the children climb up on to the roof and cling on for a memorable white knuckle ride. He lent us his camera when our batteries ran out, sharing photos afterwards. He gave us tips about getting a good spot on boat rides and when is the best time to go and was a reassuringly safe driver. The only improvements I could suggest would be more working seat belts, although Twaha is a safe driver and health and safety is not really part of the culture as it is at home. Also our kids would have preferred to spend less time in Kampala before getting started properly, which made a long journey feel a bit too long for them, although that was really my own fault because I did not want to pay the full cost in advance so we had to wait at the bank. (I noticed in Uganda you mostly have to pay at the outset, few companies can afford to wait to be reimbursed later.) We chose the Paraa loge in Murchisson Falls park which is the most expensive but it was amazing to be greeted with fresh juice, face wipes, to have our air conditioned rooms regularly treated against insects, to sit at the bar on an underwater stool in the pool looking down over the Nile. Great range of buffet food, typical local food as well as loads of more familiar western options, with live local music and dance at weekends. Could have spent all our time there, but nothing beats the feeling of heading out before sunrise with eyes peeled for the first glimpse of baboons, keeping quiet so as not to disturb the elephants. Beautiful sunset over the nile as we floated past hippos and crocodiles. Great memories.
