Guest Testimonials
Hear from our satisfied guests
We’d dreamed of seeing gorillas for years, but Ndondo made it magical. Our guide got us within three feet of a silverback in Bwindi – no crowds, just us and the jungle sounds. When I teared up, the ranger whispered, ‘They feel your energy… breathe slow.’ Unreal. Book the rainy season; the mist makes it feel like Jurassic Park!
The Gorilla Whisperers
Ndondo’s guides are like wildlife ninjas. They spotted a leopard in a tree at midnight during our night drive in Queen Elizabeth NP. Next morning, we had bush breakfast with giraffes passing by. Their app with animal sounds helped our kids learn calls beforehand – now they ‘roar’ better than some lions!
The Safari Ninjas
Got laid off, so I booked a solo revenge trip with 3 weeks’ notice. Ndondo scored me a gorilla permit and upgraded me to a luxury tent with a bathtub overlooking the Nile. Their team even arranged a birthday cake in the middle of the jungle! Best impulsive decision ever
