A superb experience giving us a wide view of western Uganda, it's scenery, animals and way of life!
The pre holiday communication was excellent, with emails and phone calls from Christina. We mostly followed a company tour of Western Uganda. After the first night in Kampala, with amazing views of lake Victoria, we travelled to Murchison Falls in the north west, then south through game parks and wonderful scenery.
Ismail, our guide really put himself out to make sure that we had a fantastic experience, and he succeeded. He was determined to find the leopard living in the ruins of the burnt out lodge. Success! The game drives were varied and the boat trips too gave us splendid animal and bird viewings as well as a visit to a fishing village and a local school. The chimpanzee trek, relatively easy walking through the forest, was well rewarded with the chimpanzees in the trees and then on the ground, so close to us. The gorilla trek over challenging terrain was a real highlight. It was worth every penny, a real MUST DO! Ismail looked after us so well, making sure that we were in the group for the nearest gorilla family because of our age etc. But the guides were all determined that we would all succeed and enjoy the experience. They had even carried one lady all the way back. I was determined that wouldn't be me!!!!!! The gorilla family of 10 or 11, with two babies, was so close. They moved around and entertained us for about an hour, then began to melt into the forest. They knew our time was up!!! What an experience. We were so pleased we made it.
The roads /tracks were an experience in themselves and we were so grateful for the land cruiser with its good suspension. Even so it was a rough old ride in places. A mini bus would not have been so good.
The lodges were all very comfortable, all with mosquito nets, and beautiful locations. The menus were limited because there were so few other guests. But the choice was adequate and the food very acceptable. The service was amazing throughout. All staff were so anxious to please, they insisted on cleaning our boots after the trek, and also ironed a couple of shirts I had washed. I even had an impromptu late birthday cake at the first lodge!
We were just thrilled with the whole trip. Many thanks to Ismail for his care and commitment in making it such a memorable adventure.

Great trip, experience of a life time
We asked for a photo safari and what did we get, a perfect safari with unbelievable photo opportunities. Serengeti proved to be everything we dreamed of and Maasai Legend Safaris made it all possible.
We'll be back.

A thoroughly memorable tryst with the nature
We booked a 5-member trip to the Kruger on a 3D/2N package. From the time of booking online till the moment we were dropped off at Johannesburg, the services were simply excellent. We booked this package about 7 or 10 days in advance and we were given the accommodation at the Perry's Hollow. Even though we were initially told there will be two rooms for us, the management gave us three spacious rooms which were equipped with all amenities. There were a couple of very nice restaurants adjacent to the hotel where we were served tasty Italian food. The main highlight of the tour is the Safari of course. We did 2 Morning and 2 afternoon safaris and by our 3rd Safari itself we got to see the Big-5. There were regular stops during the safari to have our breakfasts and lunch and there was ample supply of bottled water in our Jeep. Over all all of us enjoyed to a great extent on this tour and we will recommend this to any future Kruger Park enthusiast. Looking forward to visit again.. Cheers

This was an excellent experience that has inspired me to go on as many as safaris as possible.
I had an excellent time. Everything was as or better than expected. Our first Safari Team leader (I unfortunately forgot his name but believed it started with an M, maybe Mark?) was absolutely fantastic. He was a wealth of knowledge about the park, animals, and the outdoors in general. I enjoyed the nightly dinners and ambiance. This was an absolutely phenomenal trip. This was my first safari but will not be my last.

Great experience
We enjoyed our tour with Kenya Safari Planners. It was a good value, Peter was very helpful and responsive, and we really enjoyed the accommodations in Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli.

exellent choice !
This was my first trip to Africa. I was coming from the US (Florida) and I didn't want to take any chances with sketchy tours. I selected this safari company based on their reviews and this proved to be an excellent decision

Perfect 5 day Safari - Tarangire and Serengeti
Thank you so much to Jackson and our guide Ali for coordinating an amazing 5 day safari! Everything was seamless. We were very pleased with the service, the lodges, the food...everything. Ali was fantastic at spotting animals, and we saw nearly 40 big cats (all 4 types, too) as well as 2 rhinos, and the great migration. I would definitely recommend Bush2City. I've used them multiple times - 2 safaris, 1 Mt. Meru climb, and will use them for an upcoming Kili climb -- every time it's an amazing trip!

Dan Ngirabakunzi is a great driver and travelling companion.
i was on a business trip and Dan kindly agreed to drive me around Kampala on my appointments and then drove me to Masaka and back to Entebbe. He is a good driver - even in difficult driving conditions. He was always on time, always cheerful and always made sure that I got to where I needed to be on time. On top of that he was pleasant company with a good knack of knowing when to talk and when to just enjoy some moments of quiet.

Amazing Safari!
We booked lastminute a two days safari with Easy Travel and they did a good job!
An attentive driver and guide (Benedict) gave interesting information about the flora and fauna and local habits of the Masai people. We had a fantastic time with the ngorogoro crater and Tarangire Park on our program.
I will definitely recommend my friends this safari organization!

Great Safari Experience
I visited Lake Manyara and The Ngorongoro Crater on a 3 day safari trip with Karibu Tanzania Safaris and it was a great experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, the car was comfortable and clean, and we managed to see all the animals that we wanted to see. The food provided at night was also very good, some of the best meals I have eaten during my time in Tanzania. I would definetly recommend Karibu Tanzania Safaris to anyone looking to go on safari.
