If you’re looking for the next generation of East African tourism, you’ve found it in GoExplore Safaris. Owner and guide, Brian Ahereza, sets the bar high in luxury travel. My husband and I just returned from our 14 day adventure with Brian as our tour guide and Jasper as our driver. While we went in search of gorillas and golden monkeys we came home with real life real life experiences of culture, people, politics and the rich and complicated histories of Uganda and Rwanda. Our photograph album will only tell part of the story. What can’t be captured by the photographs is Brian’s attentiveness to every detail, our shared laughter, contagious excitement we all felt when we finally discovered the hidden away group of lions and the connection with Brian when he shared stories about his own growing up in Uganda. We had the usual trip highlights that other TA reviewers describe but for us some of the most memorable moments happened when we detoured from “the plan“ and took a “side road”. One example was when Brian took us to his beloved primary school and introduced us to his 97-year-old teacher who he visits regularly in her home which was his former school. This tender interaction demonstrated Brian‘s caring nature which he applies with passion on behalf of his guests. Another side road adventure took place when we passed a Hot Springs. This crowded spring is the gathering point where throngs of people seek therapeutic relief found in the magical water. This spontaneous activity provided us with education, laughter and a true look at the community. Finally, on our last day Brian surprised us with a plan to have lunch at the hotel featured in the movie Hotel Rwanda. He knew how moved we had both been by the film which tells the story of the horrors of the genocide that took place in Rwanda. One thousand people were saved in this hotel. Lunch, overlooking the beautiful countryside, was a stark contrast to the genocide museum that we visited later that day. Any review of this company needs to also shine a spotlight on Jasper, who safely drove over some frightening roads and kept us safe for 14 days. But Jasper is much more than a driver. He is also a highly educated man with many years in the travel industry and offered a perfect counterbalance to Brian’s talents. As a traveler this industry is exploding and you have many options. We would recommend that you place a winning bet and choose GoExplore Safaris and it’s owner Brian. He indeed is a rising star with a vision and a plan to deliver the best customer service possible.

We were a group of 12 Irish volunteers in Uganda visiting Queen Elizabeth National Park. Our guide, Brian, was what made our trip so extraordinary. Very nice, caring and helpful throughout our stay. He even went out of his way to bring our colleague to the doctor when he was sick.
Could not have asked for better service from this company and would not have had it any other way. Everything was sorted for us, between lunch, accommodation, game drives etc. Had an absolutely fantastic time.
Simply extraordinary. Thanks Go Explore Safaris!!!

I went on a Safari as part of a group of 12 with Go Explore Safaris in early August 2018. It was an incredible experience and one I would not change in any way.

Our safari was based in the beautiful Queen Elizabeth National Park. We saw so many amazing animals such as Warhogs, Buffaloes, Chimpanzees, Water bucks, Uganda Kobs, Leopards, Hippos, Lions, Monkeys, Rhinos, Elephants and more. Go Explore Safaris did their absolute best to ensure we saw these animals while out exploring.

On day one we were handed an outstanding itenery which included so many activities, such as multiple game drives, chimpanzee trekking and a trip on a boat on a lake. It was all very well organized and so much was packed into our limited time there.

We stayed at Buffalo Safari Lodge which is located in Queen Elizabeth National Park. We were treated like royalty. The breakfast, lunch and suppers were delicious. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The views were unbelievable. The staff were very friendly and willing to do anything for us. You really felt at one with the wildlife in the park.

Brian was our main tour guide and was the one who organized the entire trip for us. He was fantastic. He was very easy to get along with and extremely efficient in every aspect of the Safari. He could not have done more to ensure we had the very best experience of Queen Elizabeth National Park. I could not fault Brian in any way, he is what all Safari men should aspire to be.

I would recommend Go Explore Safaris to anyone interested in doing a Safari in Africa and I honestly don’t think anyone could be disappointed with their service.
