Kubwa Five Safaris Reviews

Excellent and unforgettable moments..

We recently embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime safari across East Africa, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our goal was to combine different countries and wildlife experiences, and Kubwa Five offered the perfect variety of combinations. From the very beginning, the team's commitment to providing excellent service was clear. They were incredibly organized and attentive, giving us all the necessary information well in advance of our trip. In fact, they stayed in touch with us throughout the planning stages and even followed up on our flights and all other details before arrival, which helped to ensure everything went smoothly. Our adventure began in the breathtaking landscapes of Rwanda and Uganda, where we were fortunate to be guided by Smith. He was incredibly approachable, always happy to answer our questions and share fascinating insights about the local life connecting with us on both personal and educational levels. What impressed us most was his dedication to ensuring we experienced everything possible, always striving to help us see all the sights and fully immerse ourselves in every moment, making him a true highlight of our trip. Our trip continued to Kenya, an extraordinary experience, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Godfrey. His deep knowledge of the landscape and sharp observation skills gave us the best chance to witness rare and breathtaking wildlife encounters. His ability to read the behavior of the animals made the experience even more memorable. He was always willing to wait for the ideal moment, making sure we didn’t miss any of the incredible wildlife action. The last part of our safari took us to Tanzania, where we were greeted by our incredible guide, Alfa! From the moment we met him, it was clear that Alfa was a safari expert, and his knowledge of Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was unparalleled. He knew the areas like the back of his hand and was able to locate wildlife with ease—spotting animals before other safari vehicles, which gave us an incredible advantage. He could predict their movements and always positioned us perfectly for the best views. His sharp eye allowed us to see the Big 5, encounters that we might have missed otherwise… While luck plays a role in a safari, it’s the expertise of a guide like Alfa that truly makes all the difference. We’ll always remember his unwavering enthusiasm, even after countless game drives over the years. His desire to help us understand the animal kingdom, the culture and the places we visited enriched our experience and gave us a deeper connection to everything we saw. While all the guides we had throughout our trip truly represented the company at its best, we were also impressed by how the company maintained constant communication with our guides ensuring that everything ran flawlessly. This attention to detail made us feel reassured and well-supported from start to finish. It was clear that our experience was a top priority, and we genuinely felt like we were in good hands throughout the entire adventure. If you’re looking for a safari experience that’s not only well-organized but also enriched by passionate, knowledgeable guides who truly care about the wildlife and cultures they show you, we cannot recommend Kubwa Five enough.

We booked three tours with Kubwa Five Safari for our Africa trip, covering six countries: Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Ethiopia. They designed customized itineraries based on our preferences and time constraints, adjusting them based on our feedback. The team leader, Joseph, and his team at Kubwa Five Safari consistently answered our questions, addressed our concerns, and ensured the program maintained a comfortable pace for each activity. As experienced tour operators, they considered all logistical details, double-checked our flight information, reassured us about visa requirements, reminded us to bring bug repellent and take required immunizations, and advised us on proper attire for the trip. When one of our flights was delayed, I informed Joseph. He promptly coordinated with the local team to reschedule our activities, ensuring we didn’t miss the helicopter ride over Victoria Falls in Zambia. During each tour, their representatives met us at every connection, airport, and border, making us feel safe and well-cared-for throughout our journey. Joseph also followed up with us in each town we visited, ensuring we were satisfied with the program and our guide. Our tour guides, Samuel in Uganda and Fikru in Ethiopia went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience in their home countries. Samuel would rearrange activities or adjust the schedule to ensure we had enough time to enjoy the game drives and visit local villages. Fikru invited us to his home, where his wife prepared a delicious traditional Ethiopian lunch. She also made coffee from raw beans, roasted them over charcoal, ground them, and then brewed the coffee. It was tasty, and we all agreed it was the best coffee ever. They were very knowledgeable about game drives, local culture, and history. Because of them, we gained invaluable experiences that will stay with us forever. We had a fantastic month in Africa, and I highly recommend Kubwa Five Safari.

Before and during our tour, Kubwa 5 communicated with us and provided all the necessary information to us. Whenever we needed the help, they immediately gave their best to accommodate us. We had a very wonderful experience in this trip with the help of Kubwa 5. Highly recommend ed!

Fantastic Experience (No, Really, It Was Actually Fantastic!) We're not kidding, folks! Everything went off without a hitch, and we're still grinning from ear to ear. John, our trusty guide, showed up on time (miracles do happen!), and was like a walking encyclopedia of awesomeness. He shared his life stories, and we were riveted (who needs Netflix when you have John?!). He was very knowledgeable about animals and birds in all the national parks we visited. The trip was so smooth, we are pretty sure we heard angels singing in the background. And the best part? No meltdowns, no lost luggage, no "I forgot my passport" moments (okay, maybe just one, but John had a spare... just kidding!). All joking aside, we can't recommend this experience enough. It was the real deal, and we are already planning our next adventure with Kubwa Five Safaris. If you want a trip that's actually fantastic, look no further!

Kubwa Five Safaris went out of their way to ensure that my son and I had an experience of a lifetime. From the beginning, they were in regular contact with us as the safari was carefully planned. They were flexible and accommodating. Our trip took us through Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania. As we entered each country we were paired with an expert guide for that location, who made certain we enjoyed each day of our vacation. The guides shared their knowledge of the animals, geography, and culture of the area and welcomed our questions. In addition to viewing animals, we were also able to visit cultural centers, a museum, and an orphanage/school. We explored on foot, bike, boat, hot air balloon, and safari vehicle. We felt safe and confident in our guides' driving skills as they navigated the rough roads. We had an exceptional trip and if I am fortunate enough to return one day, I will be reaching out to the kind people at Kubwa Five.
