One of the best experience on my life!!
We had one of the best experience on our lives!!
We did a 9 days trip, 2 friends and me. Mukisa Safaris picked us up at the Entebbe Intl Airport and we spent one night in the city.
We were presented to the staff, Jowana (the guide), Solomon (the driver) and Richard (the owner). They were very friendly on the welcome at the disembark.
The next day, we started our journey to a lifetime experience. First we headed to Murchisan National Park where we saw a lot of animals (those savana typical ones). The first night was on a nice lodge, but we suffered a lot with the hot weather! Be prepared if you chose a midrange package, because there is no air conditioning in the lodges!!
Then we moved to Kibale Forest National Park, where we did a chimp tracking. That was amazing, cause we could see chimpanzees walking on the ground. The Kibale Forest Camp is so cool, with tents in the middle of the trees!!!
The next stop was the Queen Elizabeth National Park where we had a incredible experience, viewing cats from so close (we saw lions and leopards). The Lodge was the Pumba Safari Cottages, with an excellent service and very friendly staff, besides the wonderful views from the terrace.
The last stop was the highlight of the trip, where we went to the Mutanda Lake area and stayed at the Mutanda Lanke Resort, a high level lodge. The gorilla tracking was done on the Bwind Impenetrable Forest National Park. We could see a large gorilla family with a short walk from the base.
The trip ended in Kigali, with a visit to the Genocide Memorial and a city tour.
I don't have words to explain the quality of the service pressed by Mukisa Safaris and all it's staff. They were very professional since the first emails exchanged with Richard months in advance, until the last minute of the trip, always concerned about the tours, the lodges and everything else. But we really had a great connection with two people who stayed all these days with us: Jowana and Solomon. Our guide Jowana she is the best guide in Uganda, for sure!! She is one of the very few female guides in the country, so everyone knows her!! She has open doors everywhere she goes, and she gets great deals and special services during the trip! She was AMAZING. Always happy, with a great smile on her face. Very experienced on explaining about the places visited, we could learn a lot about this wonderful country that is Uganda! About Solomon, he is the best drive on the country! Considering there are many tough places we drove by, with hard roads, swamps and other challenges, he was perfect. Very communicative and with a great mood, he was essential to the success of our trip!
So, the company is REALLY RECOMMENDED!!! You can be sure you will have the best experience ever!!

brilliant time
My family Africa safari trip was filled with joy and excitement. We had a wonderful experience and look forward to telling my relatives and friends about one back in London. I booked my Christmas safari holidays through Safarihub, my consultant was Clara Matembe, who offered a great service at all times I have no regrets trusting Safarihub for our itinerary and my family had a brilliant time!

Amazing 5 days at Masai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha !!!
Safari was very good with Jack and Edu. Jack, especially was very professional and courteous. From the airport pickup to the dropoff at the hotel, timing was spot on. We saw most of the animals that we had heard of, except the leopard in Masai Mara and Nakuru. And kids had a wonderful time cycling at Naivasha . The vans getting caught in the mud caused some anxiety, but when we look back, it all added to the adventure. Barring the minor hiccup at Lake Nakuru where the arrangement of rooms was amiss, everything else was excellent. Lot of pleasant memories. Thanks again for all your arrangements Lennox and Axis Safaris !!!

A fantastic week in Africa
I went with a different company but with Ben as guide and driver. I went on my own and had an exellent time, I felt really safe and well taken care of. Great accommodation and treatment everywhere we went. Ben is an experienced wildlife guide and has a great knowledge that he willingly shared, not just about the wildlife in Uganda but, also about traditions and culture. Ben took me and another woman around Uganda for a week in a van, we got to see lions, hippos, monkeys, buffalos, chimps, elephants among others, not to mention all the birds. The high light for me was the gorillas in Bwindi NP. I can highly recommend Ben as a tour guide.

Terrible Organization and Not Holding the Promises
We went as two families with 3 children in August 2019 to Namibia and Botswana. Andre von Flotow and his team were in charge to organize the entire trip. We paid everything in advance. Never do this to this Impala Tours!
We had multiple issues along our trip. I will start mentioning them one by one in seperate reviews, as they touch different aspects.
As a start:
1) We were suggested to take a guide for our trip through Botswana and paid for 7 days.
The guide
- arrived one day late
- was not briefed where to go, We had to tell him the trip. We had the maps to tell him the way.
- did not have own coordinates of the night bookings. As the bookings were not correctly done by Andre and his team for 2 of the four locations, we had to find alternatives those days. Not nice if you have kids dont knwo where to stay and you see the sun setting.
Andre did therefore not prepare properly this guide, the guide tried to do his best!
The guide left after 4 of 7 days, although lodge bookings were done for him and we paid them to Andre. We did not receive any money back, although we took a long time to argue on this.
In fact, Andre cuts any communication related to those topics.
Be careful, use other organizers.
Please send personal message, in case you want to discuss.
Best wishes

It was one of the best Safari's we have ever experienced. One word "EPIC"
Well i was off for 3 days and i was thinking what should we do, then my wife said lets go for safari. We have been to few safaris before. then i started searching online for Masai Mara 3 day trip and i found Lenchada Safaris. Alex was very helpful(he booked our tour for us). and then our journey begins. let me tell you the Tour guide/Safari Driver Named Evans was so helpful and supportive. we started our journey from nairobi, we stopped at Great rift valley took some amazing pictures and continued our journey. it was a bumpy and tiring drive, but once you enter the masai area and you start to see the giraffes, zebras and other animals you forget all your pain. then we reached our camping site. i have done few camping's before, this one was way better. Nicely arranged tents with toilet and shower attached. good food at the mess.
the safari was awesome we definitely had fun. Evans knew every single road and where to find the animals, we got to see lions,cheetahs,Rhino,elephants,Hyena, Giraffes,Zebras,Babbons,Hippo,Antelopes,Wilder beasts,Warthog,and many different kinds of birds.
over all it was an epic experience as a animal lover we loved the safari and recommend Lenchada Safari for all.

An excellent company to work with
7 Wonders safaris is an excellent safari company to work with. Evelyn, Maurice and George were very responsive and thorough in responding to my questions. Their long history and experience ensures that you will receive a quality Safari. Rather than camping, we chose the mid comfort accommodations. We were very, very happy with the ones they chose for us. Especially the tented camp in the Serengeti, run by very professional young Maasai men, was outstanding. The Rhino lodge, in the Ngorongoro crater, had a magnificent dining room with two back to back fireplaces. The chef there provided some of the best food we had eaten in Tanzania.
We appreciated having Fadili as our 4 x 4 Safari driver, he had decades of experience and it showed in his handling of the vehicle and safety on the road. He also has attended Safari Guide school and was great at spotting the animals, birds and pointing out special trees and plants.
We highly recommend their excellent services,

The ARK Aberdares by Jacob Munene
Fantastic experience visiting the Ark for the first time. The booking was done to perfection with the hotel making adjustments for our slightly delayed arrival for lunch. Our booking contact Jacob Munene keep us updated throughout and was in constant communication with the hotel. His services were 1st class
We enjoyed the experience there seeing 2 of the big five plus getting the thrill of sleeping in a game reserve. I would highly recommend it for a couple vacation if you want time away from the hustles and bustles of the city
