At Cycads Safaris, we have worked with a good number of clients from across the world. Below are just a few testimonials from our previous passengers.
Very Happy to Travel With Cycads Safaris
I traveled in Uganda from March 31 to April 3. Just began to plan one week before. I found Cycads from the AUTO. After comparison, the quotation was really reasonable, and very quick and friendly response from the office, which helped me to make the decision.
During the travel, everything was planned perfectly and the details were tailored and considerate. What’s more, I received the call from the Director and other officers during the trip, which is really nice. The team is well organized, polite and friendly.
Thanks, Cycads Safaris, for the memorable trip!
Tina – November 2012 – Uganda Rwanda Birding Safari
We can’t begin to tell you how wonderful our trip was. I am going to write something about the whole trip for our “bird” magazine and will let you have a copy. In the meantime I will say that Jackson was the tops. His driving was impeccable on those difficult windy roads. He did not drive too fast and nothing was too much trouble. He handled our itinerary with a lot of care and quickly understood what we required to make us comfortable. He was very patient while we did our “tours”. The bird guide we had at Nyungwe – Ntoyinkima Claver – was superb. Not only did he know ALL the birds and ALL their calls, he was familiar with the flora and fauna – which our two friends – Lari and Mike – who have a wilderness of their own here in Zambia – were most captivated with. Claver is a necessity for any birding groups you have in the future. With Claver we saw over 100 birds, 50 “lifers” (the first in our lives) – 20 of which are endemic to Rwanda. He made our trip to Nyungwe Forest and we are delighted we extended our stay there by two days. One day is not sufficient. Our trip to the gorillas was phenomenal and our first time to see them in the wild. We found the people of Rwanda to be hospitable, courteous, friendly and welcoming. We actually do not have sufficient adjectives to describe our sentiments. Lari and Mike have gone on to U.K. but Steve and I have returned to Zambia ready to be the ambassadors for Cycad Safaris and Rwanda. Please convey our greetings to Pastor Ben.

Uganda Rwanda Safari
Our trip organized with Your company was very successful. We send special warm words for Jimmy – our driver and guide. As You guaranteed we were really satisfied with him.He was very nice, funny and very responsible. And always willing to help us. His knowledge is really highly professional. He knows all animals, especially birds, all plants. He gave us a lot of information about places where we were and always answered our never ending questions. He was never tired, or rather never showed it. His skills are great and not to overestimate!
It was a real adventure to travel together in Uganda and Rwanda!
We wish You and all people working with you all the best.

HELMUT HOCTHWARTNER, AUSTRIA
I had a wonderful safari for 9 days with Cycads safaris and the trip was Marvelous. My driver was Jimmy and he was a perfect guide for my trip. He had very good driving abilities, skills and he was always Punctual and knowledgeable about the areas that I visited. I always felt secure and was very kind to me. My safari included visiting places like Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi and the Kampala City tour. The most interesting of all was seeing the Gorillas. In Austria, we do not have such animals and there fore Uganda is really a gifted country. I also saw the rare Tree climbing lions in Ishasha. Even though I was travelling alone, I always felt as if I had some one else because of the company Jimmy gave me all the time. I really do appreciate the services that you provided to me and I will make a video from the wildlife of Uganda. All my safari expectations were met and even over satisfied. The administration is very friendly and for this, they are really very good at their work. Very reliable company.

LOUIS CARLOS DEL VAL ONTILLERA, SPAIN
We were a group of 3 men and took a safari with Cycads African safari for 25 days. The safari also included climbing Mountain Rwenzori for 8 days. This was the most interesting part for the safari. We had two guides and that was Charles and Sebastian. We only used Sebastian on the Rwenzori Mountain but he was a very knowledgeable guide and knew every thing on the mountain including its weather and vegetation zones. I and My 2 other friends enjoyed the safari and on top of the Rwenzori Mountain there was the Gorillas which also amused us so much. They were very friendly and we enjoyed looking at these spectacular primates. Indeed, this will be unforgettable and memorable experience in our lives. For Charles, Punctuality was OK, Driving ability was very good, and he could explain more about the places that we were visiting. For the safari objectives, our main interests were fulfilled.

COLIN LAKE, CANADA
Our safari was in Rwanda, inquired through a website of Rwanda and to our surprise; it was managed by Cycads African safaris. We had a very friendly driver called Moses who was very excellent on all corners of the country and it was our pleasure to deal with him. Our safari was very nice, well organised by Maria, and every thing was perfect Just like the way we wanted it. Rwanda is really a beautiful country and the best of all we enjoyed with the company of Moses and Maria’s help. She kept on checking on us while we were on the safari, she called us several times and with this we felt very secure.

Cycads safaris is such a big and good company, they booked for my accommodation at Jacana safari Lodge in August this year 2010. I booked through their sister website www.accommodationinuganda.com and I was able to be helped out by booking my night at Jacana Safari Lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park. This was such a wonderful night and I will never forget it. Thanks to Imelda, the reservations department.
