Once in a lifetime travel
5/5

We lived a once in a lifetime experience with Pride Mark Safari thanks to Amos and the 13 days tailor-made trip.
Our stages were Ziwa, Murchinson Falls NP, Queen Elizabeth, Kalinzu forest, Ishasha sector, Bwindi, Mgahinga Gorilla NP, Lake Bunyonyi, Lake Mburo NP and finally Entebbe.
We chose mid-range accomodations and I really loved Tabingi, Ishasha Pride and Eagle’s Nest lodges.
Amos leadership, animal and culture knowledge and driving capabilities were always perfect. He satisfied every desired we had during the travel planning, as consequence if you have any wish let him know everything in advance and he will take care of it.
One final consideration on gorilla trekking: before taking it I thought it would be amazing…but I assure you it’s way more fascinating than the expectation. Simply once in a lifetime experience.
I totally recommend Amos and Pride Mark Safari for your Uganda Travel.

beautiful experience with a good tour operator
5/5

For my first trip to Uganda, I turned to Amos from PrideMark Safari (a tour operator and local contact of the non-profit organization AICO - Il Caprifoglio).
Even though I organized everything in just two weeks before departure, Amos immediately provided me with a detailed itinerary and the relating cost, which included lodging, meals, park entrance fees, and various activities (boat tours, gorilla trekking, chimpanzee trekking, local experiences, and visits to the places where AICO has carried out its projects in Uganda), in addition to having Amos as my driver and guide for almost the entire trip.
First of all, I’ll start by saying that taking this trip alone is extremely expensive, so, whenever possible, I recommend traveling in a group and “filling up” the 8-seater van; but, once you’ve paid the required amount, the good thing is that you no longer have to worry about anything financially (or almost nothing, because in the end, even though it’s not mandatory, you’ll feel the pressure to tip everyone) .
What I didn’t like.
First, two of the accommodations chosen by Amos (in Jinja and Itambira) were terrible and not mid-range as I had paid for, even for someone as adaptable as me.
Second, on the second day, he tried to completely skip the afternoon itinerary in Jinja without informing me, simply taking me back to the guesthouse at 1:00 p.m. for lunch. When I realised I would have to be stuck in this place (outside the city centre) until the following morning without being able to do literally anything – contrary to what had been planned – I made my disappointment very clear, and he understood and made up for it by organising some activities for me.
Third, Amos is capable of driving for hours on end without ever stopping (and consequently without eating or taking a toilet break), so if you’ve planned a very early morning departure, make sure you organise yourself the night before to buy something to eat or at least always have some food with you and push him to stop for any needs.
All these things happened during the first few days of the trip, but once these points had been clarified with Amos (choosing more suitable accommodation, always sticking to the itinerary – barring unforeseen circumstances, of course – and not skipping meals or breaks), everything went smoothly.
I think some of the experiences are a bit too ‘touristy’ (dances and performances staged specifically for tourists - visit to the Batwa Pygmies, Banana Man and other), so I’d advise discussing this with Amos when you receive the itinerary if you’re not interested in this sort of thing, so you can skip them.
Now for the positives.
Amos was always kind, patient and helpful; he demonstrated experience, excellent knowledge of the area and driving skills; he has good contacts with local partners and he was always on hand to try and make things comfortable and easy for me, making me feel safe.
After the first few days of getting settled in, once I’d overcome the issues I mentioned earlier and we’ve got to know each other better, I found Amos to be a wonderful travel companion, not just a guide or a driver—always willing to understand my needs and make the experience not only interesting but also cheerful and fun, taking the right breaks to eat fresh fruit and groundnuts or drinking a cold beverage, taking funny pictures, laughing at the different ways we pronounce English and accommodating me whenever I wanted to stop and talk to the locals or play with the children (he also introduced me to his lovely and wise wife Connie and the youngest kid).
In short, I can say that a perfect synergy developed, which was the real added value of my trip to Uganda.
Would I recommend this tour operator? Absolutely YES — with Amos, you’ll feel right at home, and he’ll be your loving and attentive family for the entire duration of the trip.
Thank you, Amos and PrideMark Safaris!
I hope you'll remember me as a good guest—and not just for the longest review ever!

Fantastic
5/5

Amos was an absolutely fantastic guide for our safari! He is extremely knowledgeable, has so many interesting stories and facts to share, and is also an excellent driver. He is very reliable and always on time. We felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout the safari. I can highly recommend Amos and would definitely choose him again!

Best safari ever experienced
5/5

An outstanding safari experience from start to finish. Amos, our guide is knowledgeable, dependable, and very considerate. He arranged excellent accommodations and somehow always knew where to find the animals. He consistently went the extra mile to make sure we had the best possible experience. Amos is the best!
