Amazing trip! We were nervous at first as never had step foot in Africa but Aura Safaris was at hand to keep us calm and plan an action packed itinerary. The selection of lodges and activities was spot on and we saw so many animals.

The agency is very professional and willing to satisfy the client’s requests. The tour guide Albert went the extra mile several times to ensure we were having the best experience and was very knowledgeable on fauna and flora.

We had an amazing gorilla trek to Bwindi, thanks to the services of Aura Safaris. John was always amazingly quick to answer emails and this reassured us that we would get a good service come the time. The gorilla permits were sorted quickly and again good communication when we sent the money transfers.

Very nice and well organised safari. The lodges were amazing and the guide very interesting. Our Driver and Guide Joseph was great and had an excellent experience in spotting animals that were well hidden.
