Speke Uganda arranged an amazing tour with a very capable guide. Perfect organisation.
Speke Uganda is a company which is always there for its clients. From our first inquiry until our flight back home Tony and his team did a great job. Questions were answered within hours so that we got the impression that the company would sit next door and not thousands of miles away. When we met our guide Michael and the owner of Speke, Tony, in Uganda we saw that these men are living for their job and the wellbeing of their clients. The tour through beautiful Uganda was simply amazing. We got a very good impression of country and people, had many interesting discussions with Michael, stayed in beautiful and well-organized lodges with a always welcoming stuff and saw many animals we never saw before (it was our 5th visit to Africa). So thank you again Tony and stuff for a holiday we will never forget and will remember all our lives. I am recommending Speke Uganda and a trip to Uganda whole-heartedly!!
My experience was absolutely wonderful.
The safari guide on my trip was a gentlemen named Muridy Aahmed. He was great. We had great sightings in Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. For example, we saw a huge buffalo herd (300); many elephants, a pair of cheetah (twice!), lions on a kill, and lionesses and their cubs. Muridy is knowledgeable, eloquent, and passionate. He is a gentlemen, professional, and expert. I highly recommend his services.
The decor in the lodge at Tarangire was unattractive. The lodge had one plus: the outdoor elevated patio that allowed you to drink and eat and be very close to an elephant herd as it drank and ate.

Big Five Up Close!
My friend and I from Canada went on a 5 day/4 night safari and it was more than I expected! We hit Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater. The driver from KIA was right on time both ways, very reliable. Our tour guide was amazing, he was able to get us in the best positions for viewing all the wildlife. We saw all of the big five and so much more, even caught some of the wildebeest migration. The food was great, something different and delicious each night. Fantastic tour! Highly recommend these guys. Nothing better than a giant elephant crashing your camp at night.

A good follow-up of my plans for the safari

My Highest Recommendations
Instinct Safaris, namely Niels, made it possible for me and my girlfriend to hike the Mt. Nyiragongo volcano in DRC about a week ago. I understand the park has just reopened, so I am glad how smoothly visa approval and all important bookings went. After visiting DRC from Rwanda, we further connected to Uganda (Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi National Park, and Kibale National Park) for more wildlife and a second mountain gorilla track. Our guide was helpful and knowledgeable throughout :-) We recommend this company and if we travel to the region again, they are certainly the agency we will go with.

Fantastic Safari
We (two friends) used World Tours and Safaris in November for a 6 days safari (Tarangire- Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Having consulted different websites and reviews, we decided to contact WTS. Richard came quickly back and gave the most economical package according to our demands, exactly as we wanted.
He always responded quickly to our messages and provided clear explanations.
Richard is a trustful man who keeps his word: we supposed to share the safari with two travellers. They did not arrive on time but this fact has not changed our safari program or the price previously agreed.
Our guide Aaron was gentle driver, he had good knowledge of animals and landscape and found always the best places to spot the animals. The food was abundant and delicious thanks to our cook Gady.
We had a fantastic safari and we keep excellent memories thanks to the good organisation and the commitment of the team. THANK YOU!

Excellent Experience | Budget Safari
Fransisca at Nature Responsible Safari organized a 5 star safari trip for us at a 2 star price. Not only was the safari and accommodation PERFECT, but the best part (speaking as a seasoned budget traveler) was that she took care of every last detail. No bus transfers or haggling about prices with the lodge - literally everything was set-up in advance, without a hitch. Her staff also took excellent care of us on the road, catering to my ridiculous food allergies and requests to stop and take photos every other minute! I highly recommend NRSC for all travelers!

It was a very good experience, I very much enjoyed the services provided.
Communication and services were very good. Timely pick-ups, drivers really consider the needs of the tourists along the way, the place we stayed at was clean and the food was good. The safari trips were very enjoyable.

Family trip to Ngorongoro
Tasneem was very prompt and pleasant in our communications to set up the trip. I also had to call while we were already on the trip for a few emergencies, and Zulfikar was extremely helpful over the phone. I would highly recommend working with Karibu again.

Outstanding Safari, Outstanding Driver/Guide, Outstanding Service
~ I've been on four safaris with Jocky Tours, in August, 2011 and January, 2013 and April, 2014 and August, 2014. All were arranged by Ms. Minneh Wangare with careful attention to detail. Mine's patience and consideration made the entire safari planning process comfortable and efficient. All of the safaris were outstanding, thanks to the skills of guide/driver Anthony Gitau. He knows how to spot animals and makes it possible to take world-class photographs. The Big Five and numerous other species were seen. Jocky Tours provides great service and great safaris. Contact Minneh for details, as she'll help you in every way possible.
