We chose this company thanks to a direct acquaintance of friends who work in Uganda. We couldn't have made a better choice! A 9-day tour starting in Entebbe, spending a night at the rhino sanctuary, reaching Murchison Falls, continuing on to Queen Elizabeth Park, and finishing the tour at Lake Mburo. Perfect organization, high professionalism, and maximum availability from Sympathy, who organized the tour for us months ago, and from Giuliano and Chris, who accompanied us on this wonderful adventure, providing us with tons of fun and becoming part of our family. More than a vacation, I would call it a life experience for both us and our children, which will remain forever in our hearts.

Look no further for your trip to any part of Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya or Tanzania. I am a seasoned traveller having visited over 100 countries and many parts of Africa. Allanblackia Safaris stood out for me. Before the trip, they gave suggestions, answered my many questions and adapted the trip to suit my wishes. When my trip across Uganda and Rwanda arrived, Sympathy was excellent from start to finish. Informative, reliable and showed me so much more than just 'the brochure.' 'I must just take you here...' Sympathy went above and beyond from start to finish. He also has strong family values and gives back to the community. Whilst we were away, a family got stung by a bogus Safari company. Sympathy sorted a trip for them quickly with another company. He said, 'Worry about payment later - lets sort your holiday first.' This is the measure of the man - a decent human being. So book with Allenblackia Safaris (the name of his dad's favourite tree by the way) and you will have an experience of a lifetime across your chosen African country. Thank you Allanblackia Safaris for being the best.
