Safety and attention to detail in the organisation plus brilliant bird and animal spotting skills.
2015 was the fourth year we had booked with Terrain Safaris to take us on safari. The tours included Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls National Park and Semuliki National Park as well as some other smaller parks and a very memorable visit to the Mabamba Swamp. At all times we have had absolute confidence in the tour leaders, Paul and Brian, to deliver a very rewarding holiday, safely organised and always going to great lengths to make sure we are comfortably accommodated even in the remotest places. Their animal and bird spotting skills are legendary, we would have missed so much without them. For instance we saw leopard in both Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls, notoriously difficult to spot and found the elusive Shoebill Stork in Mabamba. We recommended Terrain to a friend who travelled to Uganda earlier this year and we will definitely be contacting Terrain Safaris when we next visit hopefully in 2018.

Fantastic Kenya safari
My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience with Amazing Memories.
We went for an 8-day safari in Kenya, staying in upper range camps and hotels.
From the beginning, our contact Anne was very responsive, tailoring our trip according to our requests. She was waiting at Nairobi airport when we arrived, and gave us a good welcome to Kenya.
The price was reasonable considering the quality of the accommodation, and we stayed in a mix of camps and hotels. Every place we stayed was excellent, going from Amboseli to The Ark in Aberdares, then Lake Nakuru, then the Masai Mara.
Each place was very good, but The Ark was interesting - a hotel right in front of a water hole where you can watch the animals come in style - and Mara Serena in Masai Mara was truly excellent, with breathtaking views.
Our driver Joseph was great, very knowledgeable about the wildlife and friendly and talkative. Thanks to him we knew all the best places to see the animals, and we saw the big 5 and cheetahs and everything else!
We highly recommend Amazing Memories Safaris.

Amazing experience in Kenya.
We booked the safari online some months earlier and we had everything we had agreed on and even more! Our guide, John, was exceptional: nice, funny, very profesional and really good at finding all the wild animals. We went on a 9 days safari visiting Masai Mara, Nakuru, Baringo, Bogoria, Naivasha and Amboseli, the accomodation was good value with kind staff (except for Naivasha were nature was great but staff were unhelpful and not profesional) and it looked like it could be a bit too long and "too many animals" but centainly it wasn´t!!! We enjoyed every place so much as they are quite different (flamingos in Bogoria, elephants in Ambolseli, rhinos in Nakuru, lions and leopards in Masai, hipos and pelicans in Naivasha,...). So never got bored and were left willing for more in the future!!!

A perfect and tailormade trip around Uganda!
We asked Sander from Grassrootz to plan a trip that would show us the best of Uganda, and give us the opportunity to get an idea of how the Ugandans live. He succeeded perfectly!
What a fantastic way to visit this beautiful country and its people. We stayed in different kinds of hotels and guesthouses, many of which are part of community projects that support schools or help villages in other ways. That way we got a little closer to the people and also had a great stay at every stop we made.
We had a very professional driver / guide (Paul), who knew everything there was to know about the country and about the national parks, and who made us feel relaxed and at home all the time. We saw beautiful villages, landscapes and people, and in the parks we saw elephants, zebras, antilopes, lions, a leopard, giraffs, crocs, hippos, vultures having a meal ... You name it, we saw it. Thanks to Paul's keen and expereanced eye. The trip was well balanced, flexible and relaxed.
We recommend Grassrootz very warmly!

My Dream Trip with Flawless Service and Support
Right from the planning stages, my experiences with JDA was perfect. Grace was wonderful, and really got to know me and my preferences as we planned my trip. The activities and accomadations were simply perfect. My guide Henry was respectful, knowledgeable, and friendly. This was my second trip with JDA and once again I am so pleased I am planning a third.

A wonderful Cultural Tour in Lake Eyazi NP , with local tribes, and local experience at Mto Wa Mbu!
Highly recommend a customized cultural tour with Stephen, who put together an amazing tour for us making sure everything was running well at all times. The fact that he chose his best driver/tour guide Frank as well as a local guide made our trip a unique experience. Vfisiting the Datoga people, a blacksmith tribe as well as the oldest tribe, the Hadzabe, hunters and gatherers still living in Lake Eyasi NP was the highlight for me. Learning how to grind corn, sculpting wooden items and experiencing local community projects at Mbo Wa Mbu, close to Lake Manyara NP was just fantastic!
My tour met all my expectations!! And I became friend with my wonderful guides. Enjoy your visit!

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Sulman
Beautiful park, lots of birds although fewer game. The Flamingo Hills camp we stayed in was luxurious and perfect for encountering rare birds on the verandah of your tent.
