Creating Life Time Memories
The team from Trek2Kili that supported our trek to the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro, taking the Machame Route, were quite simply superb. Each and every person had a smile on their faces, and they made the trek memorable. The health and safety of everyone in the group was looked after by the guides. The actual trip, climbing through the different habitats was stunning, and words cannot descibe the thrill of seeing the sunrise as we made our way to the summit.

The most amazing experience
Just came back from a wonderful gorilla trekking experience with Silverback expeditions. It was honestly one of the best experiences of my life and I will never forget that magical time I had the privilege of spending with these extraordinary creatures. Organization by SB was flawless and I can definitely recommend them.

1 hour with gorillas
Got a 3 days gorillas tracking tour. Upon arrival, were met. Our driver David was pleasant in communication. He was always ready to stop so that we take photographs or for relaxation. Helped in money exchange matters. The transfer from Entebbe airport to the forest itself is quite lengthy (9 hours). Almost the entire road is asphalt, off-road is only the last 40 minutes of the journey. The road lies through the villages, which is quite interesting.
I recommend Mid-range accommodation, we stayed at a budget campsite, it was hard for me to share a bathroom / toilet with other people, despite the fact that the bathroom / toilet was outside. Water is hot only during the day, electricity is only a few hours a day.
Although initially I wanted to get just this experience of living.
On the second day, the tracking itself to the gorillas themselves. I recommend comfortable hiking shoes, pants, a long-sleeved shirt and a raincoat just in case. The climb to the gorillas itself did not take us much time, in fact, half an hour after we entered the forest, the gorillas were waiting for us (all the preparation and instruction took longer). The gorillas themselves are very interesting. We approached them quite close, actually at arm's length. We saw silver back, mom, cub. Somewhere in the bushes was another male. And another female was able to see. In total, they were near the gorillas for about 40 minutes. Then all the gorillas left.
The event, of course, is not cheap, but it's worth it. The only thing I regret is that I learned about the opportunity to spend with the gorillas not 1 hour, but 4 hours, following them through the forest, after we had to fly away. Of course, at a cost it is much more expensive, but there will be 4 times more emotions)) So, most likely, we will return to Uganda again for a longer period, at the same time we will order other excursions.
The third day is the road in the opposite direction. We also managed on the way to make several stops for beautiful photos.

Very satisfied with African Travels' services!
Thanks to African Travels, our first trip to Africa was a wonderful adventure! We only booked the trip a few weeks in advance, but nevertheless they managed to put together a trip that was the perfect mix of wildlife and nature, which also fit our (student)budget. We look forward to our next adventure in Africa with you!

Beautiful Tour to Murchison Falls
It was a very nice tour with Yaneta Safaris, specially our guide James was very knowledgeable, well speaking English ( Even some words in German) and open minded. The communication and itenary was also very good, even we just booked the tour 5 days before. We would definetly recommend going with this company.

It was great
We visited Kenya with WildLife Sun Safaris in September 2019, the duration of the tour was 7 days. This was our first safari. We chose the parks of Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru and Amboseli. I think it was a great choice. All the parks are completely different, unlike each other. In Masai Mara, they saw the most of cats - lions (and loners, and a whole pride dormant in the bushes), cheetahs (they even saw how the cheetah tried to catch a water goat, as the other cheetah finished its prey), leopard (quietly dozing on a tree). On Lake Naivasha there was an excursion to the island, where only herbivores live, you could walk around the island without a car, which after two days of safari in a car was a miracle. The animals were pretty close. Hippos swim on the same lake. On Lake Nakuru, four rhinos were seen. The only thing that disappointed that there were virtually no flamingos on the lake, if you are interested in these birds, you need to try other options, since they have not been on this lake for a long time. In Amboseli there were a huge number of elephants and hippos swimming in the swamps. It was also possible to see a cheetah, a serval.
Accommodation was in excellent hotels, with all amenities. Upon arrival we were met. The driver was neat. Everything was well planned and organized.
Of the minuses, I want to note the fact that the company, trying to save money, uses one ticket for several days, the ticket itself is valid, as I understand it, 24 hours. If on the previous day you stopped at the park at 9 am, then the next day you can still visit the same park from early morning until 9 am In Masai Mara, this moment did not bring us discomfort. But in Amboseli on the last day we had a lot of free time, and we left the park at 9 o’clock in the morning, as the ticket was until 9 in the morning. I want to note that all predators are most active in the morning and evening. And until 10-11 there were great chances to see more cats, and we already left. If I knew this moment in advance, I would prefer to buy tickets to the park at my own expense. Or we’d better stop by the park the previous day and watch animals there before sunset (and we were there only until 16, and there were no predators at all during the day). And the next day, respectively, in the morning would be more there. Although people who do not really want to see cats, this may not be so important. In any case, I ask you to pay attention to this and consult with tourists what they prefer.
In a couple of years, we want to repeat this experience, but already go purposefully to observe the cats. We were not enough for 7 days.
