Reviews of GoExplore Safaris

Excellent

We had the most wonderful experience on safari in Murchison falls National Park! Chris and Brian took excellent care of us and did everything possible to make sure that the safari was all that we wanted it to be. Chris was very kind, considerate and professional. He knows his way around the park very well. The wildlife was abundant and absolutely spectacular and we were able to see all the major wildlife up close and personal, including the lions!!!!! it was truly one of the most incredible and wonderful experiences of my lifetime. if i am fortunate enough to return to Uganda i will definitely use GoExplore Safaris for my next trip.

Fabulous

IT DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER THAN GO EXPLORE. Working with Brian to plan this safari was a breeze. He always replied to my emails in a timely manner and gave suggestions to work within our budget and timeline. Once in Uganda we did not have to worry about any details as he took great care of us. We stayed at Paraa Safari Lodge, and it was just gorgeous. The accommodations were beautiful, clean and the food was great. There was something for everyone (and this comes from a picky eater!) He also made sure we had the best guide for our game drive (his name was Dickson, and he was so much pleasurable!). Brian is a great communicator and he knows Uganda well. He is dependable and steadfast. This is very important when planning a safari from afar, as roads and travel in Uganda can be treacherous. You want someone who knows them well, and this company fits the bill. As for the safari itself - you won't ever have another experience like it. There just aren't any words! You will see so many animals and enjoy God's creation. I won't lie, it is expensive. My husband and I saved for a while to afford this trip. We are experience people rather than "things" people, but it was worth every penny! We can't wait to go back. Our Next trip with GoExplore will go to Kidepo sometime next year.

Awesome

The holiday obviously benefited locals, involved in tourism most. The community walks where we learnt more about local ways of life and saw life up close were simple and were of benefit to the local community. they were interesting and seemed to reinforce pride in local ways and tradition. The gorilla and Chimpanzee tracking helps preserve and conserve the groups of chimps and gorillas which are now protected in the natural rain forest environment. we thank you Goexplore Safaris for organizing for us this kind of responsible safari where we learnt so much on the trips and our guide Dickson was amazingly knowledgeable.. we recommend the service.. BRAVO!!!

Fantastic

I wanted to add an addendum to my previous review. Goexplore provided outstanding service. The accommodations were comfortable, clean and well balanced to give a real feel for African experience, adventure and western needs. By the way, we didn't not have a bad meal time the entire trip. the driver Dickson was knowledgeable, proficient and definitely knew his way around and was a good man. He threw me a bit when he claimed hippos and crocodiles were both reptiles but I am not sure he wasn't pulling my leg. It is moments like that you bring home, little connections thank you Brian for the well organised safaris.

4 days Gorilla safari

I cant say much on our previous safari but but how amazingly Brian is at his job he organized everything as stated in the our itinerary and he was very punctual in picking us up at the airport we stayed in a very nice hotel in kampala later the following morning drove to bwindi forest for the gorillas passing through beautiful highlands of the country Uganda is so beautiful and the people are so friendly we don't think this was going to be much fun. we tracked the gorillas in bwindi and these were so good we saw the young ones play as well and they were the best highlight of the safari our lodges were so good even depending on the amount we paid goexplore we never expected this kind of services but everything went well as we were on our safari thank you so much Brian for the great gorilla holiday me and my wife shall definitely recommend you to colleagues

5 days of African Magic

Brian, the director of Go explore Safaris went out of his way from the first initial contact on email to the drop off at the airport. Nothing was too much to organise or incorporate. Brian went out of his way to incorporate extra activities which were not originally in the itinerary. He has a passion for Africa travel and is very knowledgeable of his country.

so much to learn and couldnt get enough

We both got home without a problem, thanks for the lift to the airport and getting us on the plane. I went straight back to work over the weekend on the night shift, really strange after the super time we have had. Just wanted to say a personal thank you and to you for the amazing way you look after us both. This was a worry for me with the amount of driving on the itinerary. From the first moment we got in your vehicle we were at ease. And for the remaining 12 days, you never took a chance with our safety on the roads, that is so important. You made those very dangerous roads look safe. Well done. As well the driving, you looked out for us at every point, you even gave me time to relax as I knew we were both very safe in your company. Thank you for teaching us both so much about your country, you love Uganda and that comes across beautifully, don’t change! We had a fabulous time and will be telling everyone about our experience and GoExplore Safaris and brian for organizing such an amazing trip for us

We could spend a very nice time with wild animals and kind tour guides.

The safari tour was so good. The tour guides have a lot of knowledge of animals and Uganda. They are kind and enthusiastic, so you can enjoy not only safari but also being in a bun and meal.

Merci beaucoup our tour leader!!

Go explore safaris is an awesome tour guide company. Am glad to say that I had a great vacation in Uganda thanks to this company. My Algerian friends with whom I were had so much fun seeing gorillas for the first time and bungee jumping in Jinja was awesome as well. We liked Brian he was so prompt on responding to us. He helped us to plan for our trip.We were glad to have Chris as our tour guide(he speaks some French), he was able to explain to us a few basic things with his basic French, very knowledgeable and great driver. I highly recommend this Safari Company to everyone.. It was amazing. Thank you Go Explore safaris. We shall return and visit Kidepo Wilderness with you.

A two day trip to mountain Elgon National park

i have copied and pasted it for you here Based on the very positive trip advisor reviews we booked a 2 day trip to mount ELGON national park and used them to arrange our car transport and accommodation. I found the service and response of this travel agency to be excellent. Easily 5 stars. My emails were promptly responded to and everyone showed up when they were supposed to. The trip was very good, our tour guide and driver were friendly. We had a good time driving through the hills. Experienced the Sipi falls, flora and fauna,the people and cultures, all these and so much more not forgetting snapping photos. I would do It again for the experience.

Salwa

Absolutely incredible

GoExplore Safaris was absolutely incredible, even from the initial communication. They were prompt in responses were willing to change things time and time again while we were deciding what to do. They were patient and were very caring with best recommendations. My own 2 favorite parts of the trip were the things they recommended that I did not even know about and our driver Chris was so well versed with the entire place making us feel very safe The trip started with Chris (our guide) picking us up from the Airport He was friendly and on-time and we really enjoyed our time with him. He was interested in getting to know us and was always giving us great information on the things we saw. He kept us fed and was really a lot of fun! GoExplore Safaris recommended us we do the Chimpanzee sanctuary in Budongo Forest as well as the Rhino sanctuary in Ziwa. Both were absolutely incredible on foot up close experiences that I will never forget. They were incredible neat locations and both had a good cause worth our support. Please if you would like to go to Uganda don’t look further just contact Brian of GoExplore he has firsthand information regarding planning tours around Uganda we surely will recommend you to our friends wanting to travel to Uganda.

This new safari company goes above and beyond to give you a unique and incredible experience!

This safari company exceeded all of my expectations. Brian and Chris were amazing guides going way beyond what was in the itinerary to show me local villages, peoples and unique landscapes in addition to showing me all the amazing wildlife found in QE National Park. Chris was a very knowledgeable guide and while I myself am a biologist, learned a lot from him about local wildlife and plants. Beyond that, Brian and Chris took great care of me even going so far as to take most of my pictures for me so that I was free to just focus on the experience! The driving was excellent, the food great and the accommodation superb. I would fully recommend this safari company as they are wonderful guides that will give you a really unique experience for a great price. Thanks to both Brian and Chris!

This Company is professional, we did Bungee jumping and white rafting in Jinja

I can not stop expressing my happiness and the way i felt working with this company, they were so professional, every thing was organized on time just to make our Jinja trip an amazing one. Brian was very quick at responding to all our emails and within just a week of effective communication our trip was set. My friends and i were driven to Jinja by Brian himself and he took us to the Jinja Nile Riverbase for the scary Bungee jumping. Every one was scared but we later conquered the fear and jumped safely. Day two was all about a full day White Water Rafting and we did this on the mighty River Nile, our lunch was served on the River till the day ended as planned by Go Explore Safaris. I will surely work with you again sometime next year because you know better what you do.

Beautiful white beaches and clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds.

We have just returned from the trip of a lifetime! Thanks to this travel company and our agent, our custom-designed 13 day tour of Uganda was perfect. We easily followed the instructions in our travel packet, our tickets and vouchers were organized and accepted everywhere, every guide and driver was on time and extremely knowledgeable, and the recommended hotels and restaurants met our very high expectations. It’s worth noting, also, that just mentioning our travel company, or simply the name of our agent, seemed to make our providers stand up straighter and work a little harderWe thank this company and out agent for everything. We will not hesitate to recommend this travel company to anyone who wishes to travel to Uganda

Mémorable experience with GoExplore Safaris

The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. Brian was very open and prompt with his communication beforehand and once I arrived in Uganda, he looked after everything in a professional manner. My driver Denis was also a great companion and had everything under control over the course of our long drives together. Naturally, the gorilla trek itself was something very special. All in all, I would not hesitate recommending GoExplore Safaris for those who are hoping to visit the gorillas in Uganda
