Simply the best
I am an experienced traveler who has visited many countries, but this was my first time in Central Africa.
My first thought was to go on a safari, so I requested quotes from several agencies. After comparing them, I chose Abantubo because of the travel itinerary they proposed and the professionalism they showed throughout the booking process. They always responded quickly and professionally to all my questions and concerns, and their quote was the most balanced among those I received.
Here are my thoughts about the safari I took with Abantubo:
1) National Parks: I visited Lake Mburo National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, the Ishasha Sector and Murchison Falls National Park.
I highly recommend all of them. I saw so many animals in their natural habitat, and driving through the parks in the jeep was truly exciting. While the driver is at the wheel, you can stand up in the jeep and take in everything around you.
You never know which animals you will see or how many you will encounter — nature decides...
2) Lodges: I spent six nights in six different lodges.
I can confidently say that Abantubo pays great attention to accommodation. Every lodge was clean, the food was good, the staff were friendly and the locations were excellent.
My favorites were the lodge on Lake Bunyonyi and the one on the Nile, absolutely beautiful!!!
3) Driver/Guide: I did the safari with Emmanuel. I could not have asked for anyone better...
First of all, he is an excellent driver. He is also a knowledgeable guide, always ready to answer any question, patient, helpful, empathetic and polite. After spending seven days together, I now consider him a friend, someone whose company I genuinely enjoyed.
4) Organization: I was extremely satisfied with this aspect as well. Mr. Nixon, the owner of Abantubo, proved to be an honest and reliable person from the very beginning and throughout the safari. Every single day, including Saturday and Sunday, he checked in to see where we were and whether there were any problems. He is a conscientious person who clearly cares about his work and pays great attention to every detail.
Conclusion: I would like to return to Africa in the future, and if I do, I will not waste time looking for other agencies — I will choose Abantubo again. My experience with them was extremely positive.
I know I have not written anything — absolutely anything — negative, but that is simply the truth. In the past, I have had no problem giving negative reviews when they were deserved, but with this agency I honestly cannot find anything to criticize. Everything was perfect!
Finally, I want to say that I have written this review with complete sincerity. I hope Mr. Nixon and Emmanuel will read it, because they deserve this recognition. They did an excellent job and I want to acknowledge it publicly.
Congratulations, and thank you for such a wonderful experience!!!

Many beautiful memories, thanks to a great and reliable team
Everything was very well organised and handled, from the first email to the very last minute of the trip.
Replies always came very quickly. They could answer all my questions and accommodate my requests regarding the trip.
Once there for a 5-days safari, my guide Lorand was incredible and highly knowledgeable. His professionalism and kindness went beyond what could be expected. I was able to enjoy Uganda's magnificent sceneries and see countess beautiful animals, accompanied by detailed explanations and information about them. All this without having to worry about anything. He went all out to make it an amazing and memorable experience.
I felt safe and grateful throughout the trip. Thank you for the unforgettable safari and the beautiful memories! I highly recommend the Abantubo team.

Very serious and reliable company
We booked a 3 day tour to Murchison Falls, including chimpanzee tracking in Budongo on our last day (the reserve is located within Murchison Falls National Park).
Everything worked very well with the agency. The tour was very complete: we visited the Top of the Falls, went on a boat cruise along the Nile, did two day game drives, also had a night game drive and the chimps tracking.
We requested a low budget private tour with a camping option. They arranged for us to spend both nights at Red Chilli Camp in Murchison Falls. However, when we got into the car to start the trip, we were informed that we would actually be staying in a tented camp (an upgrade that we really appreciated). The camp was very nice and clean, and the food there was good.
Our guide, Allan, was incredible. He was always kind, respectful, and willing to accommodate all our requests. He is a great safari guide, always looking carefully for animals, and he has a real talent for finding leopards! :)
We felt very comfortable with Allan and with the entire Abantubo team. We highly recommend this agency; they are serious, professional, and reliable.
Thank you!!!

Incredible trekking and safari experience!
My 4-day trip to Bwindi and Queen Elisabeth NP exceeded all expectations! Sam is a super kind and knowledgeable tour guide with vast safari experience best for unforgettable experiences. Even small changes to the itinerary or extra favors were easily accomodated. I would especially recommend the company for solo travelers, since the upcharge compared to a multi-person booking is relatively low (and more than worth it!)

Wonderfull experience at the Mamaba Swaps and shoebill.
We had an amazing experience at the Mabamba Swamps! We even saw the Shoebill with a little chick spotted by our guide Keta. He was really kind and taught us a lot about the different breeds of birds. We enjoyed the boottrip and nature. We would definitely recommend!
