Our guides Charles and Hussein were amazing! Let's start first with Charles.

He is an amazingly dedicated guide. On the first game drive when we saw only one lion, he took us out again that evening to see more lions, where we saw four more lions, including three crossing in front of us! We managed to capture them against the moonlight,

A few days later he brought us out again for an additional game drive at Queen Elizabeth National Park where we saw three adult male lions!

He has an uncanny ability to spot animals despite driving on very bumpy muddy roads. In one trip he spotted a lion in the grass stalking a waterbuck from over 100 meters away - all while driving!

Charles has built an excellent network with other safari guides, rangers and even people on the street, which enabled him to get us to interesting places very quickly.

Thanks to his amazing eyesight and networks we saw numerous giraffes, buffaloes, elephants, zebras, waterbucks, impalas, antelopes, elans, and many other animals!

He also stuffed us with the best pineapples from Luwero, and the best mangoes!

Now with Hussein: We've never met a guide who is more dedicated with giving us a perfect time! He made sure that we got the newest and the best huts with the best views in the lodges, ensured that our meals were timely, arranged candlelight dinners for us without us asking, and got several chefs to cook Chinese food for us. In remote Uganda! That was amazing.

Hussein is also very quick to respond to any issues, including coming down personally to the lodge to ensure that our concerns were taken care of immediately.

We could see that Hussein is very deeply respected by all the staff at all the lodges, and because of this he could always secure the best of everything for us.

Even before the trip started and he was certain to get our business, Hussein always replied to all emails promptly, and answered all our questions and doubts, and even suggested alternatives until we were fully satisfied. All this before he even saw a single dollar from us.

At the airport he arranged for a meet-and-greet service to help us quickly through immigration and other formalities.

Overall we would highly recommend a trip to Uganda with its unbelievably beautiful views, warm and friendly people and amazing wildlife, and if you are going there. we would very highly recommend Lifetime Africa, by far the best tour agencies we've ever had.

Danny was a truly exceptional guide. From his professional demeanor to local tips, he absolutely made our experience in and around Akagera national park a memorable moment in time. The Land Rover we rode in was extremely comfortable and was possibly the most functional and modern vehicle we saw on our day trip through Akagera. If you have the budget (Danny's rate is quite competitive) I would absolutely recommend you to book an excursion with this agency!

During my vacation in May 2023, I decided to undertake a gorilla trekking safari combined with Game drives, boat rides, and chimpanzee trekking Kalinzu forest all in Uganda. I got in contact with Lifetime Africa Expeditions and Hussein was as helpful as He promptly responded to my emails and organized an extraordinary safari experience at very short notice. Every aspect of the journey was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed, ensuring that every minute was filled with wonder and adventure. The professionalism and knowledge of my guide Eric, the comfortable and best choice of accommodations, and the seamless logistics contributed to making this trip truly exceptional. I highly recommend Lifetime Africa Expeditions to anyone seeking a life-changing encounter with mountain gorillas combined with chimpanzee trekking as well as a safari and boat ride but have very few days, look no further, Lifetime Africa is the best choice. They will do all they can to make you witness diverse wildlife, and the opportunity to explore Uganda's stunning national parks. Thank you, Hussein and Eric, for providing me with memories that will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Lifetime Africa was an excellent travel partner for me. As a young woman from Germany traveling alone to Rwanda. Hussein was easy to work with, had excellent service, and was a great safari planner. He provided me with a range of options for accommodations which made my life easy in making a choice basing my budget. The company shepherded me safely through my 2-days fantastic adventure. Being able to experience the gorillas in their wild habitat was breathtaking. Learning about Rwandan history, culture, and current affairs from Danny my guide was eye-opening.

We did the Murchison Falls Park 4-day tour with Rhino trekking at Ziwa rhino sanctuary. It was fantastic. Our guide Joe was exceptional. He was knowledgeable as well as responsive and attentive to our needs. We just enjoyed spending time with him, talking about the culture and other aspects of Uganda. This was the first wildlife tour in Uganda and Hussein put us at ease through all the logistical arrangements. He was able to arrange a last-minute Safari which was amazing. Joe went out of his way to see that we had a great experience, and if we are fortunate enough to go back, we would hope to have him as our guide again.

Celebrating our 10th marriage anniversary in June 2023, my wife and I decided to embark on the profound and amazing gorilla trekking safari. We contacted a number of safari companies to help us in organizing this amazing journey. Lifetime Africa expeditions took center stage. Their tour consultant “Hussein Abdel” is an excellent safari planner. He was so knowledgeable about the local wildlife and geography and he was as flexible throughout the entire planning process as he accommodated and answered all our questions to satisfaction. The guide Moses was so knowledgeable, and he made sure we saw all the best sights. I must say it was an absolute dream come true. Every moment of this remarkable journey exceeded our expectations, leaving us in awe of Uganda's natural wonders and the incredible mountain gorillas. What is more interesting is that the safari prices were very pocket friendly. I can recommend this company enough. I am planning to go back next year with my family and travel with the same company to cover the rest of East Africa

Danny knows his country. He knows the past and the present, and even some things to come. He is an excellent driver on some tricky terrain. He is always in good humour, patient, and funny. If it is possible, he will make a request come true. Danny even waited patiently while I bought fabric and had some custom clothes made, and didn’t even roll his eyes once!! I felt safe and very well cared for at all times. I have done a lot of travelling and know the real thing when I see it. I would use him
again in a minute. He is a good, kind, and very knowledge person.

I fell in love with Rwanda on this short trip! Danny was an AMAZING tour guide and would only come back if he would tour me around again. Was so nervous prior to this trip because I was traveling solo, but felt so at ease as soon as he picked me up from the airport. Toured Kigali and did the gorilla hike. Scenery on the way back to and from the city is stunning. Such a wonderful trip and wish I could’ve stayed longer! Can’t thank Danny enough.

We spent a wonderful few days with Danny in Rwanda! Danny and team welcomed us at the airport and were able to whisk us through customs and security as quickly as possible. We did a full day tour around Kigali and then spent a few days in Volcanos National Park seeing the gorillas. Danny made us feel right at home from the moment we met him. He’s highly knowledgeable (answered our non-stop questions about Rwanda), very friendly, professional, proactive, organized and ensured our trip was seamless. We had so much fun getting to know Danny and highly recommend using him if you are looking for a top notch guide in Rwanda!
