Bigodi Wetlands - Fabulous Birding Location
The real reason for wishlisting this location was the chimp tracking at Kibale, I had a wonderful morning at the Bigodi Wetlands Sanctuary, thanks a lot to our guide Nelson who was very knowledgeable.
The walk takes you through different terrain; swamps and farmland, on mostly flat ground. The varied habitat increases the chances that you will encounter a wide diversity of several speceis. Show stealers were the turacos.
For Advice, Definitely go in the morning. That's when the birds are out and about. In the afternoon it gets quite hot and there is very little shade.

5***** Safari with ATAT!!
We've just arrived from the most amazing holidays ever: our first safari!!!
We prepared our game drives and accommodation with Arlanda Tours And Travel that went far and beyond to meet our expectations. In well conditioned car and with our great guide - thank you Najib! - we were able to see the big five and so many more! Bwindi Impenetrable National Park was overwhelming, Buhoma Kanungu and Kisoro left us in awe and the Kabale Uganda ... well... there are no words to express how excited we were! Food was good very good from Arlanda and the lodges we they arranged were fine. Having a glass of champagne on the middle of the park, while the hyenas were walking around and a mongoose just passed under our room was an unforgettable experience!!
In the end, we left Uganda with just one thought in our minds: to return ASAP!

Sensational destination at Uganda-Lake Bunyonyi
In South Western Uganda, Lake Bunyonyi is one of the best few serene attractions as far as tranquillity and peacefulness goes. We found that they had some very nice affordable accommodation just at a short distance from the lodge, provided by our tour company Freka. We all especially loved the boat trip and would love to do it again and again. I daresay it is quite a long ride from Kampala though and it takes some couple of hours. I could not complain about anything. It’s all loved every thing there.

Rwenzori Mountains are Great to visit
During our 10 days tour with Ngoni Safaris , we visit to Rwenzori Mountains and it was really a great time to be there with my great friends. It was the best thing i have even got in all my life. Rwenzori Mountains are the most highlight of our trip. Knowledgeable, professional, kind and generous guides. The meals were tasty and delicious, and the drinks were very cheap and in plenty. by the time we left Kasese, i was relaxed and rejuvenated for the rest of the year.

Lake Mubro- great park with few visitors
Lake Mburo National Park is kind of great place to visit for 2 or 3 days. I went with my wife and our two young daughters. We stayed at Rwakobo Rock lodge that is provided as accommodation by Ngoni Safaris. We reached at park around 9pm, after that we leave for Lake Mburo National park via Masaka-Mbarara where have our lunch. At park, there were a couple of hippos in water. We were expecting to see Zebras, Impala herds, Warthogs, water bucks and we had that opportuniy.
The boat trip on the lake is an opportunity to see many hippos, a couple of crocodiles, and a lot of birds. Our guide/ranger was very nice, spoke good english, and having good details all about we were concerning about while viewing the things. We ate lunch at the small restaurant on the lake.
We then did a nature walk with our ranger, It was a rare experience to be able to walk in a park amongst the wildlife. This is an advantage to visiting a park without many predators. The walk was easy and with wonderful views, if not spectacular, were still a breath of fresh air from life in Kampala.
I recommend Lake Mburo to anyone with a love for nature, particularly birds, though there are no elephants, leopards are difficult to spot.

If you want to experience wildlife and Africa-visit here
I am a wildlife lover and have always wanted to see the wildlife in their natural habitat, and fortunate to do all that. This time to I went to Tanzania on a tour package with Arlanda Tours And Travel and It satisfies something in my soul. We saw all the wildlife that can be imagine. Elephants, rhino, lions mating, leopard, cheetah, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, hippos, ostrich, crocodiles -truely can say it was heaven on earth. The scenery and weather were excellent, the lodge that we stayed at in the Serengeti was unique, the food they prepared for us was amazing - the kitchen area was so small. Our transportation made by company was better than what we had in Namibia, and our guide (Najib) were so patient, and knowledgeable. when one of our group members was excited to know the name of one bird that we saw then our guide told him in a very clear manner and correctly spelled it out "B-A-T-E-L-E-U-R". (But he also spelled it out several times.) We had a guide and two rangers and all of them were wonderful, very kind, very accommodating, and we made new friends with them. On the last day of tour, there on our morning game drive we saw on the right hand side of the road a male lion and a lioness and it just looked to be so deadly. Then our guide looked on the other side and there were another male lion and lioness. Both of them was sitting down but the male had his head up, at that particular moment I got a good shot of his head and eyes. Then he got up and started to walk over to deep grasses. We did also saw a leopard. Normaly it is very rare to find a leopard in a open area but we had this unique pleasure. One of the lady in our group, it was her eighth time visit to this place and this was the first time she had ever seen a leopard. So we were fortunate enough. And it was never forgettable experience.

Wonderful Memories
I found Migration Venture Africa on the TripAdvisor travel site and was drawn by the wonderful reviews. I contacted the company and Amos the director came back to us with great options, which helped us create a 5 days private tour to TarangireNP, SerengetiNP and Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide, Epa was very experienced and had very good knowledge of all the sights and sounds that we experienced on our trip, he found many animals and gave us amazing wildlife views. I must mention his great driving skills because we did not get stranded or stuck in the muddy park trails like some couple of vehicles we saw.
The lodges booked a notch higher than what we were expecting. I would go on another trip Migration Venture without any hesitation.

This place have an especial attachment
The fame of Serengeti National Park is well deserved and Absolutely magnificent and that is why it becomes a beautiful trip. Huge place with different sceneries and different types of natural environments. The nearby area of Seronera is especially beautiful and full of wild animals. Pity that at times it may be slightly crowded as there were too many jeeps around. The area near Lobo is somewhat less spectacular and less rich of animals. The nights that we had spended in tented camp was my best experience and it just could be done by this tour company Arlanda Tours and. If you are in Tanzania, then it must to be 2-3 days in serengeti.

Kenya Safari- Masai Mara and Amboseli- January 2020
Went on two 3 day safari's in Kenya, first to the Masai Mara and the second to Amboseli. All in all the two trips were good value given the low price, I've listed the pros and cons below.
Pro's-
-Amazing scenery and wildlife, you cannot get any wilder than the Masai Mara! You will more or less be guaranteed to see at least 3/4 of the big 5!
-Amboseli is one of the most scenic safari parks in the world with the Kilimanjaro backdrop! It really is a photographers dream!
-Food is good given the facilities (used to cook the food)- have a broad mind and enjoy the flavours!
Con's-
-For 3 days there is just too much driving from Nairobi to the Masai Mara and back. Amboseli and back is manageable because the distance is considerably less. And the roads are absolutely terrible in places, choose a more expensive vehicle- anything other than a 4x4 is not suitable!
-Wildlife is heavily dependent on the season- better in the dry season. We saw lots of wildlife in the Mara, but didn't see hardly any wildlife in Amboseli except lots of elephants and the general assortment of other smaller animals like antelope etc.
-Be prepared to eat the food, it wont be what you are used to at home!
