Posted on Sheila W A Thrilling Madagascar Adventure This was a superb wildlife viewing trip, expertly led by Neil MacLeod of Safariwise, with the assistance of knowledgeable local guide Fabrice. Although Madagascar has lost a lot of its forests, those that remain are packed with wildlife – and we saw no less than 24 species of lemur, including close views of the extraordinary Aye-aye. This endangered species taps on the trunks of rainforest trees and listens to the returning echoes to detects cavities within made by beetle larvae. It then chews holes into these with its large front teeth and inserts its elongated middle finger to extract the unfortunate grubs! Other lemurs we saw included the Indri with its strange wailing calls, Black and White Ruffed Lemurs, and tiny mouse lemurs of several species. We were also extremely fortunate to have an excellent sighting of a Fosa – a mongoose relative which has evolved to fill the niche of a medium-sized cat, as there are no true cats in Madagascar. We also saw many species of colourful chameleons and other reptiles, plus similarly colourful frogs, and insects – including the aptly-named Rainbow Locust and Giraffe Weevil. We stayed in some lovely lodges set in stunning surroundings, and the local people were incredibly friendly wherever we went. All in all, another wonderful adventure with the excellent Safariwise. Posted on CMAR2011 Driving from Namibia’s coast to the desert in a week visiting the main sites Berdene organized a great trip to Namibia and we got to visit the coast and the desert. Everything was as planned, the hotels, the car rental and the tours Posted on Jamie Buxton-Gould Magical Madagascar! What an exciting trip meeting the weird and wonderful wildlife of Madagascar! We visited the best places across the island to witness the unique biodiversity, all extremely well organised by our leader Neil and local guide Fabrice. It was thrilling to see such a variety of plants, insects, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals in some fascinating habitats, including the rainforest and spiny forest. I can't believe some of the close encounters we had with species such as Aye-aye, Indri, mouse lemurs and Fossa! It was enjoyable to meet friendly local people along the way and to see the importance of ecotourism that incentivises protection of the special habitats and species here. Hopefully supporting community-managed reserves and forests can continue to conserve the incredible endemic wildlife. An extraordinarily interesting trip of a lifetime! Posted on Simon J Fantastic three weeks My wife and I have just returned from a fantastic three weeks in Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe. We self drive and all the lodges chosen for us by Berdene and Neil were fantastic. A great mix of closeness to wildlife and a little bit of luxury just when we needed to draw breath. We managed to see the ‘big five’ during our stay which was a real treat, especially seeing the lions with just our vehicle watching and the leopard with only one other. I highly recommend using Safariwise to out together your holiday in Africa. They go out of their way to give the customer what they want and know the continent so very well. With luck we will be back and we would certainly be using them again. Posted on Sheila W Uganda JUne 2025 This was my second trip to Uganda with Safariwise, and did what I thought was impossible - by bettering my absolutely amazing first visit of two years ago! The as-always superb leadership of Neil MacLeod, combined with the excellent spotting skills of local leader Gerald, made for some once-in-a-lifetime wildlife viewing experiences.We saw no fewer than six very scarce Shoebills - including a pair of these huge prehistoric-looking waterbirds clapping their massive bills at each other during a courtship display. A wonderfully close encounter with a family of Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was followed later in the trip by one with a group of around 10 similarly close Chimps in Kibale National Park. We also watched members of a pride of Uganda's famous tree-climbing Lions amongst the branches of a tree adjacent to the road we were on in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and later saw cubs playing on top of a termite mound at Murchison Falls NP. A boat excursion on the White Nile rewarded us with a rare sighting of a threatened African Softshell Turtle – one of the largest species of freshwater turtles, with a shell up to a metre in diameter. Other sightings on the trip included a well-hidden Leopard in a tree, plus all the more frequently-seen mammals such as Giraffes, Buffalo and Hippos, and a plethora of brightly-coloured birds. The lodges we stayed at were without exception of excellent quality, too - and very well situated in close proximity to the wildlife. I can highly recommend Safariwise to anyone wishing for an amazing wildlife experience such as this - either in Uganda or elsewhere in Africa. In my experience - they really are the best! Posted on Pioneer27005623935 Uganda We have recently returned from an amazing trip to Uganda with SafariWise. The trip was brilliantly planned by Neil and his team. I was in awe of Neil’s, and our local guide, Gerald’s, brilliant eyesight and wildlife knowledge, I’m sure we didn’t miss a thing! We saw so many animals and birds it would take too long to list, but some of the highlights were the gorillas, chimpanzees, tree lions and the shoebills. The trip ran like clockwork and felt completely stress free. The lodges and food were all excellent. We are already planning our next trip with SafariWise. Posted on Richard W 15 day Uganda birding and wildlife tour with Safari Wise A fantastic 15 days of seamless organisation and planning by Neil and Safariwise ably assisted by Gerald our Ugandan guide and driver made this a holiday of a lifetime which included visiting 5 national parks. A great balance of water and game safaris which provided some exceptional experiences including Mountain Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking, Shoebills, Giraffe, Hippos, Nile Crocodiles and a plethora of bird life provided a photographic haven.Our carefully selected lodges enabled us to explore the beautiful pearl of Africa providing a wide variety of landscapes from mountains to lakes and rainforest . All the accommodation was of a high standard of comfort and safety.Our standout lodges were Mahogany Springs Lodge Bwindi National Park ,excellent accommodation, Mweya Safari Lodge Queen Elizabeth National Park for stunning views over Lake Edward , Turaco Treetops , ideal base for Chimp Trekking and Paraa Safari Lodge for boat trips to view the fantastic Murchison Falls and brilliant Shoebill sightings. The Karibu in Entebbe is 15 minutes from the airport and is ideal for starting and finishing a tour. Thank you Safari Wise for an unforgettable experience. Posted on Ian T A safari way beyond expections From first contact with Safariwise (after recommendation from another guide), the whole experience was excellent. Berdene tailormade our tour of Namibia, visiting several different lodges in different locations. She tailored everything to what we wanted, giving us helpful advice along the way. The communication was prompt and comprehensive all along, answering our many questions. The safari itself well exceeded our expections (which were actually quite high!). The accommodations were all of a very high standard and three (Camp Kipwe, Etosha Oberland and Onguma Tented Camp) were absolutely superb. Neil was our excellent guide for 14 days. His knowledge of Namibia and its wildlife were both extensive and detailed. His spotting skills were the best I've ever experienced (we have done many wildlife watching holidays). His enthusiasm and sense of humour were infectious, adding to the enjoyment of the experience. 41 mammal species (including cheetah, leopard, white rhino and desert adapted elephants), 22 reptile species and 175 bird species, not to mention amazing scenery. Ian, Lesley and Nicola Tooley Posted on lucy t A wonderful trip across Zambia, Botswana and Namibia This was a fantastic 2 week trip, in the hands of fantastic guides who worked tirelessly for us. Couldn't recommend more highly. Posted on Mark N Zambia, Botswana and Namibia March 2025 Could not recommend these guys highly enough. Neil and Hano were brilliant guides. Knowledgeable, passionate, well organised and, above all, fun!
