An amazing 12-Day trip with Abantubo Safaris in Uganda!
From the very beginning, the communication was excellent. Nickson was always quick to respond and very helpful throughout the planning process. Even until the very last moment — and during the trip itself — the team did everything possible to make the experience even better. For example, with last-minute accommodation changes and my driver even arranged an impromptu game drive after hearing news about a leopard family sighting, which turned into a truly unforgettable experience.
So a special thank you to my guide and driver, Allanie, who was incredibly knowledgeable and had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, I saw so many animals and learned a lot along the way.
Overall, it was a fantastic trip and a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

I had a fantastic seven day trip with Deus from Abantubo
I did a seven day trip with Deus from Abantubo. He was a fantastic guide with great knowledge about all the animals, birds and plants as well as the culture and history of Uganda. Next to this, he was always very happy to assist me and answer all the questions. All together, he was a great company for the trip! The accomodations were also very good with some lodges offering fantastic views next to the big rooms with very comfortable beds and hot showers. Every day was very different which made all the days special and unique. We did walking safaris, biking safari, boat trips and of course the chimp and gorilla trekking. All together it was an amazing experience which I would definitely recommend!
Abantubo are everything one needs in a operator, professional, dynamic to changes and efficient.
I moved my Gorilla trekking plans up by two weeks at the last moment due to work delays, within 24 hours the Abantubo team had everything changed and secured and I was supposed to be on a plane until Rwanda Air cancelled my flight, bumped me to next flight, 11 hours later. Abantubo team got it all sorted before I landed. Tour ran like clockwork under the watchful eye of my guide Adams. Always in communication- main reason I originally chose Abantubo was the efficiency of feedback and eagerness to get back to me with requests at a very affordable costing. Tour included 4 borders, 3 hotels, 4 hikes, 4 meetings with Gorilla families (we were rather fortunate I believe) Golden Monkeys on our doorstep, Dian Fossey Research Centre hike and the Genocide museum. Whirlwind trip over 6 days but all ran super smoothly.cannot recommend Abantubo enough.

Three unforgettable days — highly recommended!
I came back from this safari more than a month ago, and I still think about it every single day.
As a solo female traveler, I was a bit intimidated at first by the idea of exploring part of Uganda on my own. The main purpose of my trip was to meet a group of friends and visit the southern part of the country together, but I really wanted to explore the north as well. Initially, I was hesitant because the Google reviews I found were all excellent, but mostly related to walking tours in Entebbe and Kampala.
However, I can confidently say that my three-day safari to Ziwa Reserve, Murchison Falls, and Murchison Falls National Park was absolutely incredible.
I also started with relatively low expectations because, among all the quotes I received from different safari companies, this one was the most affordable — about 30% cheaper than other operators. But I quickly realized there was no reason to worry. Nickson and Lorand, my guide, were extremely professional, responsive, and helpful throughout the entire process.
I had booked a shared tour, but due to a date change by the other guests, I ended up being the only traveler — and Lorand made me feel like a true queen. During the drives, he shared his deep knowledge of the country and his experience as a safari guide. At each stop, he proved to be very competent and well connected with local operators. For every activity, we were accompanied by armed rangers who guided us safely through the safaris.
The night safari, in particular, was unforgettable: we saw two leopards, two genets, five lionesses with four cubs, and much more. It was truly magical.
I can’t recommend Abantubo enough, and if I return to Uganda, I will definitely contact them again.
Until next time!
Very friendly group, great personality, and make you feel very safe and welcomed
My family have the most wonderful time in Uganda. Much of it has to do with your safari guides. We are so grateful for the adventures we got to embark on with our tour guides Allanie(a great story teller, a fun personality, Deus (who looked after me like an older brother and always asked how I was doing, and Lorand(who wished me a good morning every morning).They are very personable and friendly and delighted us with wonderful stories about the animals and Uganda. They were great communicators and finding animals from leopards hiding in trees, lions in bushes, hippos, elephants, and many more. We felt very safe and well cared for. They went the extra mile to show us much of the beauty Uganda has to offer, getting us out of muddy spots, and some of the team even drove eight hours across the country to ensure we got our luggage after a mix up at the airport. Highly recommend this company, and they will surely leaving you wanting to come back to Uganda as they helped me leave a piece of my heart there. You will not regret it.
