Worthwhile Safari - What an incredible safari! The cruise and game drives were fantastic. Saw the elusive leopard (several times)! The team at Inspire African Safaris made it easy with hotel pickup and drop off. The drive out to Queen Elizabeth National Park was beautiful and the chosen lodge was great. Will definitely book another adventure through Inspire African Safaris!

Delivering the best - The trip was worth the money they asked for. Adventure beyond expectations and the guide was on point when it came to wildlife explanations. We enjoyed both the land safari and the boat cruise at the kazinga channel. It was all well apart from when the lodge's electricity went off for sometime during the day but the guide made sure we charge our phones in the car. The magnificent sceneries we encountered during the travel to Queen Elizabeth National Park also made the trip so awesome indeed Uganda is a beautiful country. Would love to travel again to other parts of the country with Inspire African Safaris because they deliver the best services. Better book with them for the best experiences and adventure in the wilderness.

My first safari - It was my first experience on a safari, and it was a great experience. I valued very much the effort that organizers put to get things to happen. I was lucky and I had the chance to see lions, elephants, a leopard and many hippopotamus. I felt safe during the whole trip and the cabin where I stayed at Quee Elizabeth was very comfortable and safe.

Great advise and Guide - We had a great trip with Inspire African Safari’s. Richard was very helpfull to customize the plan and working through the various options, so ended up with QE park for 1 day and ishasa the other day to see the tree climbing lions (which we ended up not seeing🥲). Both Parks were great and Darius was a great driver and guide throughout the trips. We saw 5 lions (2 cubs), hundreds of antilopes, buffalo’s, vulgars, warthogs and an amazing park with stunning views. The cruise was possibly even nicer as we saw over 10 elephants, hundred of hippo’s, buffalo’s, 1 crocodile and a few mount lizards and many exotic bird spieces! Was a great experience overall! Also the bush lodge was an amazing place to stay! We had an elephant visit at our lodge and never been so close to an elephant before, while leaving him in his habitat. Food was good and service great. Overall amazing trip, well organised and led! We will cherish the memories

Trip of a Lifetime - The trip was certainly one for the books! Beautiful landscapes and incredible views of wildlife! Guides were very professional and accommodating. The lodge accommodations were wonderful and clean. The food prepared at the lodge was outstanding (the tilapia I had for lunch was the best I had in Uganda). Overall a wonderful experience. I highly recommend and I would use this company for future experiences!

CRUISING WITH CUNARD QE 2 to Japan - ITS REALLY HARD to be too critical of the crew and staff as by and large they mostly tried really hard to please most people . this was qe2 s 1st trip to japan of 28 days across the PACIFIC through GUAM and NEW GUINEA . we went Britannia Club , but dined at The normal Britannia because we travelled with friends who went Britannia only , although we have travelled IN grills class . food was good , not always hot occasionally rushed service but they tried hard again . hard to serve 2000 people in a few hours I guess . BUFFET WAS BUFFET , hard to make it elegant dinning or even civilized , as people tend to go strange around food buffets . SEATS WERE A PREMIUM AT PEAK TIMES in the buffet . GRILLS class is another thing , way better , so is the cost way higher . worst thing about the cruise was the cost of drinks and addons . exchange rate for Aussies is savage and too high after conversion and service fee . too many sea days on this trip from SYDNEY but we knew it before hand . shops on ship were disappointing from comparison with past cruises and poorly stoked with clothing and with very limited stock and sizes , cant say for the jewelry or perfumes but looked ok to me but again prices seemed really high on some items . excursions were a bit disappointing with japanese tour guides had limited english communication although the japanese people are just terrific and try so hard TO PLEASE . again costs were very high when getting only 80 yen to the aussie dollar . us dollar is 140 yen to the A$.............so for AMERICANS and BRITISH travellers its much cheaper . i am already booked again on the QE2 NEXT YEAR BUT QUEENS GRILL and much shorter journey
