Fantastic tour. Kennedy and Paul are outstanding. They go above and beyond (I won’t be able to eat again for days!!). We only had a short time in Kampala and this was the perfect experience - great food, authentic boda boda experience, and lots of local insights and explanations. Kennedy made sure we got to try everything. I can’t recommend it highly enough. These guys are really fantastic!!!

Touring the city with Steve was a great experience. We went through different parts of the city and really enjoyed the explanations and stories that he gave us as we were walking (history, culture, economical, and many more!) He is really knowledgeable and even taught us some words in Luganda. During the tour, you get to stop by a lovely craft market - among others - which is perfect to get some souvenirs or beautiful local arts. Steve also recommended a nice place to eat where we were able to enjoy some local food. I highly recommend touring Kampala with Steve!

Shared a wonderful day of cooking Ugandan food with two lovely hosts. With a lot of helpful suggestions I eventually learned how to peel matooke correctly and watched how to steam it in matooke leaves! Rosette made a delicious butternut soup. The goat stew was really good as was the groundnut sauce for the matooke. A mango salad and mashed Irish potatoes completed the meal. The cooking and the eating together was filled with lots of talk, laughter and sharing of culture.

Right before the departure to Africa, I had a very informative and detailed meeting (via zoom) with Coleb about the entire safari. I have a specific allergy to some food, but Coleb arranged that very well. The package was crafted to my needs and lodges selected perfectly! In my opinion, this is a #1 tour organizer in East Africa!

I used Safari Vibes based on a recommendation from a friend. Punctual, professional and hold what they promise. We had a very hectic 2 nights, 3 day safari to Murchison Falls and the Pakuba Lodge. The travel arrangements were immaculate and Frank, our driver, was very affluent as for the National Park area. Unfortunately the Nile river had a very high water level and thus many of the roads where elephants, Hippos and crocs were out of reach. Well, nature is not something you can decide over so just had to accept and go on. We saw all the BIG FIVE, but in small numbers. The Pakuba Lodge has a good location s animals are even seen just outside your door, and adjacent to the Lodge. So for the first timer safari person, the Lodge would be acceptable. However, the food was absolutely terrible, and compared to My other safaris in various countries, totally unacceptable. Constantly served late, it delayed night drives, and other activities. The staff was friendly enough, but way below as far as service minded from what I am used to from other Game Lodges. Seems that the management employed people and forgot to train them in their respective fields. Again, the Safari Vibes arrangements and services were perfectly executed. I will use Safari Vibes again for my future Ugandan explorations.
