Amazing trip of a lifetime with expert guide
We visited Uganda last summer and from the first email Bella and the team were really friendly and informative but not pushy. We did an 11 day safari including a magical Gorilla trek and so many amazing animal viewing opportunities. Ben our guide was AWESOME. Maybe we got lucky but he was so knowledgeable and went out of his way to find us some amazing animals, including a beautiful leopard trotting across the grasslands in Queen Elizabeth National Park, a white rhino mother and calf at the Rhino sanctuary (wild living) and a couple of sleepy lionesses dozing away in a Candelabra tree, among so many more. He was also passionate about the animals and their conservation which we feel strongly about, but unfortunately not all wildlife tour companies do.
The accommodation was impressive for our budget - the tented camps are brilliant and give you a 'luxury' tent feel whilst being really close to the wild - don't forget your headtorch! Staying in Kibale Forest camp and Rwakobo Rock were some of our favourites. The food was excellent in most places and the chefs were happy to make adjustments for vegetarian needs (give advance notice if you can!).
We had some great adventures with Ben and the 4x4 minivan (don't be put off by these vehicles, ours was the most comfortable of our month long trip and you can be in it for hours driving the bumpy murram roads) and as well as teaching us so much, we felt like we had made a friend by the end of the trip and were even more sad to leave!
We are trying to plan a way to go back to wonderful Uganda as there is still so much to see, and would definitely contact Bella and Ben for a guaranteed amazing trip! What are you waiting for?! :)

One week Safari with Siya Phambile!
We spent 7 days with Siya Phambile Expeditions and it did not disappoint one bit! The experience was out of this world. We were well-taken care and the service was amazing for the money. Food, transport, activities & accommodation, you do not have to worry about anything, just making sure your camera batteries are fully charged! We were on the road at crack of dawn and late at nights to make sure we capture all the action from the bush. We completed the big-5 spotting in less than 2 days and our guides were always providing description, information and details about all the species we encountered. Overall experience was great, we saw everything Kruger had to offer in terms of animal spotting, game reserve and life in base camps. We highly recommend Siya Phambile if you want to experience your own customized private safari, easy to work with, the guides at Siya Phambile are very knowledgeable and make sure you are having everything you need. FIVE STAR experience!

Trip of a lifetime with super customer care and animal viewing!
We visited Kenya and Tanzania last summer and from the get go Noah was very amenable, giving us accurate quotes and adapting the set tour to suit our requests. We did a 12 day safari and all the accommodation surpassed our expectations, both for locations, customer service and facilities (3 nights at Tortillis camp in the Serengeti was just one of the many amazing places we would love to go back to - check out their pancakes for breakfast and you'll see). Our main guide Humza was extremely experienced and really friendly, answering all our inane safari questions with a constant smile! He went above and beyond at times to allow us maximum animal viewing and because of this we were able to watch and photograph leopards, cheetahs, lions hunting, kudu, LOTS of beautiful elephants and bat eared foxes to name a few. On our last day, Noah realised we would be waiting at the airport for hours so arranged for us to visit the Giraffe sanctuary in Nairobi which was such an unexpected treat! We were so glad we booked with Wildebeest and would highly recommend them - ask for Humza! We'd definitely book with Noah again :)

Intesting safari tour in the south of Tanzania during the rainy season
The itinerary of the tour is very good; well filled with a lot of variation. The driver / guide only joined us during day time (not at breakfast, not at diner) and did not talk too much. This way, our privacy was respected and we highly appreciated this behavior. Price / quality ratio of the offered tour is ok. Organization and driver both appeared flexible. Selected lodges were nice.
The jeep was good and comfortable but was not sufficiently equipped with tools needed to repair the car (inappropriate jack, no towline, torch etc.), this can be improved. The traffic in Tanzania is very slow; commuting from one location to the other takes a lot of time. It would be appreciated if the amount of commuting can be minimized / optimized. The driver could drive faster were permitted.

everything was well organized, Vincent is an excellent driver guide, the trip was a big adventure
- communication with Francesca was excellent
- service was very good
- the trip was amazing
- the hotels, especially the camps and their staff are (serengeti halisi and lake Natron halisi camp) wonderful
only safari prices seem to be quite high, but that seems to be an overall tanzanian issu - same scubadiving in Zanzibar...Usambara Mountains are lower in price but amazing as well
Thanks again

Amazing experience
It was an amazing safari experience :)
We were on a 8 days safari in Kenya and Tanzania, group of 5 girlfriends. Everything was as planned, but great people made our adventure unforgettable. It is always the people that make the difference.
Thank you Stephen for your cooperation and planning our trip together with us.
We had amazing drivers - tour guides, Jacktone in Kenya and Estommy in Tanzania. Thank you for really taking care of 5 girls with heart.
I would really recommend Pride of Africa Adventures. They organized everything for us, from airport pick up, accomodation, food, tour... They are reliable and work with heart and give you more than just a tour - they give you an adventure,
I hope to see you guys again and to do another safari tour soon.

9 phantastic days in Ugnada with Prime Safari
A lovely experience in Uganda. Excellent driver (Joseph), friendly and super supported team in the Office (Cate was leading for us). We stayed in 5 hotels and all of them were perfect. Although my 1400 photos were stolen the day we landed back in Geneva (hence I can't attach any to confirm my words), we will keep excellent memories of our visit in Uganda and I feel like doing it again, I will for sure use Prime Safari to organize it. THANKS

Overall it was an excellent safari for us and we hope to be back soon with Bison Safaris.
