What an adventure!
Booked a last minute safari with It started in Africa shortly after landing in Kilimanjaro airport coming from Victoria falls. From a Saturday afternoon they could organize a 7 days safari for 4 persons starting 2 days later (Monday) and with a level of luxury accommodation I could never have expected (gorgeous tented camps from a group called Lemala). The vehicle was amazing with large windows and very smooth. We had two pairs binoculars(Olympus I think) which were a great bonus.
The driver Samuel was what we needed: Professional but cheerful, great driver and with an amazing eyesight. We had amazing discussions about interesting wildlife facts like the reason one leopard was afraid of some birds that were making some strange noises. he was really knowledgeable.
We saw all the big5 during these days and we spent most of our time in the Serengeti (Central and North). Nothing to complain about. Everything was 200%. Highly recommended.

Superb customer care & quick to respond to meet customer needs
Communicating with a company based in Kenya was made easy due to the quick e mail response and efficient services provided. The company delivered exactly what I needed & made excellent and relevant recommendations to make our trip very successful & rewarding. Esther was the member of staff who dealt with my trip & her response was admirable.

A perfect Safari
Thank you so much for the wonderful safari vacation that you put together for Amy and I! Everything was exactly as you told us it would be. Said is an incredible guide/driver. He is knowledgable, helpful, funny, punctual and of course, professional. Said made the trip so enjoyable. He spotted animals that we would have missed even though we were standing up and only looking as he was doing. We saw so much because of him. All of the places hat we stayed at were perfect. We do not have any complaints. I am sorry we missed meeting with you at the end of our trip. Jo was great in checking to see that our trip wet well. She did mention that you may wish to have some of our pictures for you company. If you do, we would be more than happy to supply them. Also, please feel free to use us as a reference. I would love to be able to help others choose Safarihub as the company that will make their vacation perfect and memorable.
Again, Thank you so much,

Incredible Dunes, Incredible Tour!
Our 3 Day, 2 Night Sossusvlei Dunes Tour with Impala Tours was incredible! Not only were the dunes amazing, but our guide was brilliant. Andre went out of his way to help us and answer all our questions. He even showed us the stars and pointed out many interesting aspects. The accommodation was beautiful and the meals were great, especially the evening buffet.
I am travelling to Namibia again next year and will definitely travel with Impala Tours.

Great tour, great driver, great accommodation, great experience!
We went with CUL Tours on a 3 Day, 2 Night Gorilla Safari and it was brilliant! We were careful to choose CUL Tours, reading many reviews and confirming that the gorilla permits are actually included (many operators say they include them but actually don't). CUL Tours didn't let us down. Everything flowed without a hitch and our driver was fabulous. The accommodation was incredible and their meals delicious. And, yes! The gorilla's!! We tracked a large family and met 12 gorilla's. It was incredible!! One even whacked me on the leg!! It was thrilling!! Our tour and time with the gorilla's is an experience we will cherish forever.
While in Uganda, we also did some volunteer work in Gulu which has totally changed our lives. I highly recommend doing both while you are there. We volunteered through www.brightfutures.com.au

Professional Scenic and Hospitable experience!
I went to Uganda to visit a friend in july 2015 and I did a little tour (5 days) with Ideal Tour and Safaris Uganda.
Everything was nice.
Emily, the manager, since from the first contact was very professional but at the same time very kind and hospitable. She helped me to organize a very personalized tour with my budget and my places that I want to visit.
And the tour was short but very nice and also Mehdi the guide/driver was good even if I was alone it was not boring at all, we had good time and nice wildlife/landscape experience.
Also during the trip I wanted to change and add some places and they were very good to replan and adjust at the last moment.
Thank you and see you soon,

clockwork organisation, highly recommended
Just no complaints.
the bush lodge in Okavango was wild as it should be and a brilliant choice.
Chobe lives up to its standard when it comes to elephant
the Vic-Falls are still there ! And Avani is in a perfect position for any adventure around the place.
the hotels were fine.
the chobe lodge's food leaves to be desired in quality, 3 of us had "Africa-belly" but that was not WildAfrica's fault.

Amazing, amazing, amazing.......................
Umubano Tours are amazing and Rwanda is amazing. Right from the start I felt confident in Umubano Tours, Herbert was Mr Efficient and always got back to us in record time, he always was happy to answer the many questions we had prior to booking and he arranged an great itinerary for us. We also had the opportunity to meet Herbert a few times, which we really enjoyed and he made us feel so very welcome and gave us a great insight into some of the country’s history.
We competed a 9 day tour of Rwanda with Bosco as our guide, this included Kigali tour including the memorial museum and churches, two days with the gorillas, the hike to Dian Fossey site, Lake Kivu including staying at a home stay for the night with a local family and the chimpanzee trekking and waterfall hike at Nyungwe Forest National Park. The Gorilla trekking was the most incredible thing we have ever done and we could not believe how close you get to them, the first day we saw approx. 22 gorillas and the next day approx. 12, this included silver backs and babies and we were glad we did two days as each one was very different.
We were so glad we took some friends advice and stayed in Rwanda for more days than just the Gorilla trek, there is so much more to Rwanda than just the Gorillas, Lake Kivu is beautiful and so picturesque, the home stay provided us with an opportunity to see how the locals live and we donated some items we had brought from home to the local school on the island.
Nyungwe National Park is well worth the trip down south, the drive from Volcanos National Park to Nyungwe is absolutely beautiful I could not take my eyes of the landscape of rolling hills and tea plantations and smiling children constantly waving at us. We were lucky to see the Chimps at Nyungwe National Park after only a 30 min walk into the forest they are really quick so just be aware that it’s not guaranteed and it can be hard to photograph them. During our drive out of the forest back to our lodge we also saw many Colobus Monkeys.
We couldn’t off asked for a better guide than Bosco, he was amazing, he always had a smile on his face and made us laugh and smile the whole time, he taught us so much about Rwanda and its people, was always punctual and was flexible to accommodate us at all times. We really feel we came away not only having experienced a beautiful country with beautiful people but also coming away with a friend and company that we will know we will stay in touch with.
Please come to Rwanda, we felt so welcome all of the time, completely safe and the country has been through so much and the people are so warm and incredibly friendly, we are so happy to be ambassadors for the country and cannot say enough good things about Umubano Tours and Rwanda.
Huge thanks again Herbert, Bosco and the team at Umubano Tours, you made our holiday so memorable and enjoyable and we know we will be return to Rwanda in the future.
Good safari operator
Everything went smoothly, from communication pre trip to all transfers and accomodation while on safari, would recommend to everyone.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Diana023
Wildlife.Thats left right and center in serengeti.You will see the big five and much more.After the second day , you are not satisfied with a lion but you want to see a lion fighting an elephant and serengeti does not disappoint.
