Very unpleasant experience - I was charged twice for the trip
I used this company for a gorilla trip for myself and two members of my family.
I put a downpayment of $1966 in September using Pesapal, and then a week before the safari I wired $1890 to the company's bank account.
The company took us on the trip, which was fine, but they claimed that they hadn't received that last payment; on the last day, before agreeing to take us back to Kampala they forced me to pay $1890 by credit card, with the promise that the money would be refunded once the wire occurred.
Once back home I obtained all the necessary document from my bank proving that the money had indeed been transferred, but never heard back from Primate Safaris and never got the refund...
This is clearly extortion - I would not have written such a review if I had seen an attempt on their part to fix the situation with their bank

Unforgettable experience
We initially booked a safari tour with Focus in Africa, but were redirected to Simba Adventure, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience.
As part of a budget-friendly 3-day tour to Serengeti and Ngorogoro, we shared the experience with another couple. Our guide, Sadi, was not only very knowledgeable but also super attentive and funny, which immediately put us at ease. Thanks to him, we managed to see even the animals that are hard to trace this time of the year🔍. In addition, we were spoiled by Moody, who we came to consider the best cook in Tanzania, and possibly whole East Africa 🙌🏾.
We shared this experience with a wonderful Spanish couple that we met on the first day, and together we created wonderful memories. One such memory included the surprise visit of some buffalo to our tents in the middle of the night at Simba Campsite.
We highly recommened this tour operator!
Sadi & Moody, thank you for everything!

Top class and well organised
Had an amazing experience and Sunworld Safaris did a fantastic job helping us enjoy the whole week. We had a first class service from start to finish and our guide/driver (Mwashi) was a wealth of knowledge and patience throughout. The consultant team at Sunworld were responsive to all our demands and requests and laid out a practical itinerary that ticked all the boxes. Will be using them again when we come back and have already started recommending them to our contacts.

Amazing
We went on a group tour with two other couples. Such an amazing experience, and better than we could have imagined!! Moshi made great meals every day and Patrick took us on the best game drives. We felt taken care of through the whole trip. We will definitely use Meru Slopes for our next safari and hopefully get to go on our safari with Patrick and Moshi again.

Ramja is very responsive and will go the extra mile to make your trip special
My wife and I chose a tour package from Ramja Safaris as part of our honeymoon and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision! Our guide was great, the accommodations were fantastic and there were nice surprises for us to mark our honeymoon, and everything went smoothly.

Great trip on Mount Meru
I can recommend going with Serengeti Landmark Tours, everything was very well organized, from the airport transport to the hotel and the trip itself. I did three days on Mount Meru and it was an amazing experience, would definitely do it again.

Perfect Trip with a great Tourguide
Ah Eizoba safaris ! What a team !
Everything was beyond expectations, the (lodges, food, car and the guide)
My guide Dalson made my trip one of the best experiences of my life. Dalson is one true example of what we can hardwork. Driving on shabby roads, driving for long hours, his knowledge about wildlife and Uganda was all i needed. Not forgetting his funny stories
If you are looking for a company to trust that is professional, don't hesitate to trust them. I can only recommend it.

Amazing Kilimanjaro Climb!
I recently completed an unforgettable Kilimanjaro summit trip with Raven Safaris. It was an experience of a lifetime!
From the first message with Raven when enquiring about the trek, until the day I returned home, communication was great. The team were responsive and provided lots of information on the trip, ensuring I was well prepared to take on the climb.
Every member of the Raven team that accompanied me were amazing. I would not have been able to complete it without them. They were friendly, welcoming, professional, and kept spirits high even through the tough parts. My guide, Tony, was extremely knowledgeable and supportive. He carried out regular health checks, provided sound advice to avoid issues with the altitude and ensured we went "Pole Pole" to allow for gradual acclimatisation.
At the start of my trip, there was an issue with my bag not arriving at the airport. Raven were very supportive during this time and came up with a number of solutions for me. Luckily it arrived the following day and Raven were able to start my trek a day later than originally planned. They were very understanding and accommodating.
The food cooked by chef Abou was also absolutely delicious!
In conclusion, my Kilimanjaro trip with Raven Safaris was beyond incredible. I recommend Raven Safaris to anyone seeking a well organised and unforgettable adventure to the roof of Africa!

Wonderful Safari
My wife and I had a wonderful trip to Kenya. We booked a tour to Karibu Safaris and it was the right decision. Perhaps the car was not new and the accommodation was less expensive, but the emotions from the safari were unique. Driver Raymond easily found the animals and was one of the first on the spot. The manager was in touch constantly and answered all questions.

exellent
I've gotta say, Tanzania is seriously set up for tourists, especially around the Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas. I chatted with a bunch of companies and heard from lots of folks who've done safaris with a variety of groups. It seems like as long as you pick a company that's legit and has decent reviews, you're pretty much guaranteed a great safari experience with most of them.
What sets Colours apart, however, is their ability to offer safaris that are not only budget-friendly but also venture into less frequented destinations, like Gombe National Park—an absolutely stellar recommendation and a definite highlight of our East African adventure. The team's flexibility with scheduling and their insightful suggestions greatly enhanced our experience. For instance, when we considered additional days at Lake Manyara National Park, they advised us to explore the southern Serengeti instead. This turned out to be excellent advice, allowing us to witness the spectacular great wildebeest migration—a truly unforgettable spectacle.
In a nutshell, not only is this company super competent and trustworthy, but they were also incredibly helpful in planning our trip. This was a godsend for us first-timers in Tanzania. Totally recommend them.
