From airport pickup to final drop-off, everything worked. Adventure In The Wild Safaris is professional, warm, and clearly experienced with international guests.
We booked a family gorilla and savannah combo — kids loved every day. Adventure in the Wild Safaris balanced adventure with comfort and kept us informed at every step.
We travelled with Adventure in the Wild Safaris and are grateful we chose this team. From the first enquiry to the final day, communication was clear and the itinerary felt personally tailored.
Great value for a private safari. Our guide knew the parks intimately and adjusted the route when wildlife sightings were best. Highly recommend for photographers.
Excellent logistics for a short 5-day safari. Every driver was on time, every lodge matched the description, and the office team answered questions quickly.
Well-organised overland safari with comfortable 4x4s and excellent spotters. We saw lions, elephants, and chimps — and gorilla day ran like clockwork.
Outstanding gorilla trekking experience. Guides were knowledgeable, vehicles comfortable, and every lodge exceeded expectations. Would book again without hesitation.
Can highly recommend a safari with Adventure in the Wild. Simon was responsive and communication was excellent throughout planning and while we were on the ground in Uganda.
