GoExplore Safaris  Reviews 16

I did a 11 day safari with GoExplore across Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. I had an amazing time and the guides in each country took really good care of me, were very professional and great at their job. I saw so many animals in the Serengeti and Masaai Mara and on the chimpanzee and gorilla treks. It definitely helped to have GoExplore assist with the whole coordination of the safaris across the three countries and they really took the time to personalise the trip to my preferences. The accommodation arranged at each of the respective countries were clean and comfortable. Beyond the safari itself, they also helped coordinate a trip to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in Uganda on very short notice. Communication was great. I would highly recommend booking a tour with GoExplore.

Go Explore gave us the greatest experience we have had in Uganda.
Perfect in guiding us around and very flexible! We managed to even see the gorillas, though it was not initally planned.

A wonderful 4 day safari to Murchison Falls.
GoExplore took care of all the arrangements from collecting me at my hotel in Entebbe, to dropping me off at the airport. Moses, the guide and driver, was very knowledgeable and knew all of the top spots in Murchison where the animals were hiding out. We saw pretty much everything you could want from leopards to eagles and even chimpanzees. Murchison really is a stunning place to visit and somewhere I look forward to visiting again.

I would highly recommend GoExpore for your next trip in Uganda, they provide top notch service and really try and make the most out of every second of your trip so you don't miss anything. Brian and his team are doing a great job.

Amazing experience during our holiday in Uganda we are thankful to our guide Charles, he made our trip blissful,
Wir sagen nochmal danke.
Bis zum nächsten Mal.

From the first communication with Brian forward, GoExplore did an outstanding job of delivering a magical trip. We wanted to build a custom trip and they did an outstanding job. The 3 guides we saw in each destination were so personable and knowledgeable. The entire trip from hotels (outstanding) to personalized tours was wonderful.

It was a lovely Trip To uganda we saw chimps and Gorillas and it was the highlight of the trip Mozes took care of us

This is the second time I have traveled with my family with GoExplore. The first time was an amazing Uganda experience (already reviewed) and this second experience with my husband to Kenya was equally amazing. Brian organized organized both tours for me and tailored them according to my wishes. As this is still the time of unsure flights and Covid difficulties, he was easily able to adapt to some changes with travel that were beyond our control.
GoExplore is a boutique business that is very personalized and offers you the equal and more than a large corporate operator. The price point is compatible with group tours but you will have your own personal driver and guide for yourself and there is nothing to compare with this luxury. Because of that, you will also be able to adapt your days schedule if you wish according what you want and not what is a groups plan.
We were completely happy and satisfied with all aspects of our travel (on both trips). Brian knows the safari tour industry and is constantly working to improve the business, his knowledge about lodges, the parks, restaurants and all minute aspects of the tour. He will be able to personally attest to the quality of whatever product he is recommending to you.
Sammi was our driver in Kenya and we can only say that he was amazing. He knew more about wildlife (and every birds name and details) than an encyclopedia, was an amazingly adept driver in sometimes rough conditions (traffic, rough park roads, etc.) and looked out for our interests. While respecting the animals, he went above and beyond trying to make sure we saw every different animal we could. We appreciated that he obviously respected and cared about the animals we were seeing. (Not all safari drivers do and will do anything to try to get to see something up close, even while encroaching too much on their space.) We had a minor vehicle difficulty and Sammi made sure that everything went smoothly and we didn't miss a minute of our trip or schedule. He is quite an asset to GoExplore. Sammi only drives on Kenya trips but if you go to Uganda, I highly recommend Moses who was equally great.
Overall, the trip was an unforgettable trip of a lifetime. If you haven't gone on a safari before, you should trip to put this on your life plan. There is nothing like it and when you plan it, you want a safari operator that will listen to your needs, wants, and budget and tailor it to fit you. GoExplore will do that in a personal way.
Our lodges that Brian picked were magical and the food was outstanding. There was nothing about our trip that we would have changed. I highly recommend GoExplore if you want to travel to any of the countries they operate in. If not those countries, then reconsider them over the more commercialized ones (such as South Africa) and you won't be disappointed.

This has been the trip of a lifetime. I'm so glad that we went on this Safari and got to explore Uganda! It's such an amazing country with beautiful people, animals - everything you could hope for in your dream vacation spot it truly felt like a memorable experience. The staff were all wonderful and went out of their way to make sure that everything would be perfect for us while we were there!

My family and I were super happy with the 13 day safari trip we booked with GoExploreSafaris!! We can highly recommend the team for their professional approach starting from the communication before the trip (per email and chat) to the actual on road experience. Brian taylored the trip to our needs and joined us as guide throughout the journey. All the lodges he suggested were excellent and the timing of the daytrips was very well planned. Our driver Charles was reliable, friendly and we felt safe in his car at all times. We could not believe Uganda has so much variety in flora and fauna! Just amazing!

We had an amazing time. They were great working with us through the uncertainties of the pandemic. Everything went smoothly. Definitely would highly recommend them for your African Safari!

Just got back from an 8-day trip in Uganda, organized by go explore safari led by the preeminent tour operator Brian… What an experience… picked up from our hotel of residence in Entebbe having already received our soothing breakfast, we were driven to south western Uganda and checked in to our preferred hotel, received in a genial way at lake mule he safari lodge, the next day we were so eager and ready for the experience and indeed it really happened, spent the whole day with the gorillas and later had a transfer to Ishasha.
What a day…. coupled with lion tracking in kasenyi plains, mongoose tracking at mweya peninsular, boat cruise on kazinga channel, nature walks, community walks all these made up us to keep on asking for more.
Later transferred to Murchison falls, enjoying the boat Trip at the Victoria Nile where we had a chance to have a glimpse at the hippos, crocodiles, hiking to the falls, game drives in the park.
Our last days in L.Mburo national park, scenic features, game drives, walking safaris at night, horse riding.
What an un believable trip, absolutely amazing, many thanks to Go explore safaris for enabling us to have such a wonderful experience.

A very great and good experience in Kenya to see big five we visit masai mara with Denis our guide and Tanzania our guides were very good we had a great trip we enjoy every second and my best spot was seeing lions hunt in the evening where they attack buffalos and like 5 lions were spotted In Uganda we only see gorillas and chimpanzee tracking my daughter was so amazed by the chimpanzees in kyambura in queen Elisabeth but we have a great trip which is unforgettable and we cant thank Victoria enough for putting together this and communication was perfect I recommend go explore safari

in october we went on safari with goexplore safaris where victoria and jusper came to meet us at Entebbe and we went to wild waters lodge in jinja such a beautiful lodge on a small island on river nile our trip was for 10 days around Uganda where we saw gorilla and chimps the lodging was 5 star victoria's prompt response on email was amazing and i would rate her communication above 5stars we couldn't thank the team for putting together an amazing luxury safari for me and my brother thank so much we definitely will be travelling to kenya and Tanzania in the next coming year i would highly recommend their services to anyone travelling across east Africa.

Traveling with GoExplore Safaris was one of the best experiences I have ever had. As a young, female adult backpacking by myself, I felt safe and respected for the entirety of the trip. The staff was kind and created a trip that was exciting but also mindful of my budget. With them, I met new people, hiked with gorillas, and rafted the Nile. More than travel guides, the staff became my friends. It has been a year since I have traveled with GoExplore Safari, and I still in contact with members of the team. The team is full of lovely people and highly recommend traveling with them!

Brian’s Communication was prompt and clear from booking to the tour itself. He emailed us in an appropriate manner and answered all our questions and she was very helpful in helping us customize Gorilla tracking safari and Safari in Kenya. He was able to recommend different lodging choices and vehicle in the event of pick up and drop off at the airport, they were flexible and kind enough to pick us up from where we were staying in Kampala. And began our journey to Bwindi later they drove us while sight-seeing different things. This was really convenient as other people I reached out to were very strict about pick-ups Brian really made everything so easy for us as travelers! He was always available on phone and made sure we had a great trip with Charles in Uganda And then we connected to Kenya for the safari experience which was incredible all because of our talented driver and guide, joseph! He was very kind, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He knows the terrain, can read animal
behaviour, and can foresee the best position for viewing. I honestly feel like the driver either makes or breaks your s, and I couldn't recommend GOEXPLORE highly enough! JOSEPH knows Masai Mara park like the back of his hand which is a huge advantage! joseph really does everything he can to show you an unforgettable safari experience. We were able to see the Big 5 better than we expected

I had the best trip.. 💜💞
