Uganda Safaris and Gorilla Trekking

This was a trip of a lifetime! The details large and small were flawless, leaving us to enjoy the trip with no worries.

We started in Kenya. All accommodations were beautifully appointed and the staff were very friendly. The locations were strategic, allowing us to view different animals based on the area. Our first stop was Lewa Conservancy, where the rhinos and the grazing animals were the highlight. Then, in Maasai Mara, the migration and hippos were the draw. We also viewed the migration from a hot-air balloon, which gave a different perspective. Naboisho Conservancy is known for its cats and it did not disappoint. We saw leopards, a lion pride with 17 babies, and a cheetah hunting a gazelle.

We then traveled to Uganda to visit the gorillas and were nervous because it was considered a level 3 advisory by the US Department of State. However, once we were there, we felt very comfortable and were glad we went. Trekking with the gorillas was a highlight of our trip. We did two trips and each was very different.

The small details like the transfers, having help through the airports, and ensuring we had packed lunches when traveling from one location to another were flawless. This trip was complicated and on past trips the transfers were always the weak link. Zicasso’s travel company nailed it.

We would highly recommend this trip!

We traveled with the help of Zicasso's tour specialist. She was available for us throughout and prepared us very well on what to expect. Our accommodations, our guides, and our cultural experiences were all excellent! She even had a surprise birthday dinner set up for me on our last night there. For us, this was the trip of a lifetime and we would highly recommend her!

I was very impressed with my Zicasso travel agent. The travel company itself was impressive as well. They gave me a choice of who I wanted to be my agent. I was able to talk to two people and choose who I thought worked better with my goals and personality. I highly recommend this company. The trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My husband and I were so happy with the way our agent even set up the order of where we would visit. We went to Uganda first, then to Kenya. I think our experience wouldn’t have been as good if we had done Kenya first, then Uganda, so we were so happy with this!

I sent out multiple inquiries and Zicasso’s travel company was by far the most responsive and accommodating in their planning. They listened to what I said and came up with an itinerary that was perfect. It took some tweaking and we were very patient and thorough, getting everything exactly the way I wanted. It was a trip of a lifetime and I owe it to them!

We experienced such easy planning, a perfect personalized itinerary, and wonderful service from Zicasso's travel company!

Our trip was amazing and meticulously planned by Zicasso's travel partner. We spent a lot of time discussing our preferences and listening to advice on the most efficient way to see all the countries we were visiting.

Everything we requested and wished for was done, the itinerary was explained in detail, and the pre-planning and briefings were conducted very professionally, leaving us with a lot of comfort before we left.

On our trip, everything ran smoothly. All flights were booked perfectly, drivers and guides were waiting for us at every destination, and all the accommodation was perfect and exactly what we requested. There is no possible way we could have planned such a trip without using an experienced and well-resourced agent.

We would highly recommend our travel agency. They are very professional, everything is done for you, and the planning and detail do not go unnoticed. The other compelling thing is our agent had stayed at all the places we were looking at and most of the alternatives, and was able to give a clear explanation of the different properties.
