5/5

This opportunity was on our minds for a very long time. Finally in Jan2024 we were able to pull the trigger and make the trip happen. Called it the 'primates tour' where. we wanted to see the golden monkeys/chimps/and most importantly gorillas. We also wanted to get some game drives and take in some of the local sights and scenery.

After some research of various fitters we found Mambo Safaris as a highly rated company. Since it was just 2 of us, we got in touch with Mambo where Didan and Nicholas were extremely helpful. We wanted to make some subtle adjustments and tailor the trip to our needs.

I cannot express how amazing the experience was. Starting from the pickup past midnight to our lovely accommodation in the Airport Guest Lounge all the way to the airport drop off on day 9, the entire trip went without any interruptions or hitches. I credit the entire team from Mambo for allowing us to enjoy the trip, offering us very valuable feedback and information to make the plans fully successful.

Even when unplanned events did happen, we were able to pivot and maximize our times and experience. I would like to especially thank Twinomuhangi Yonah for his outstanding company and driving throughout the entire trip. He was very entertaining and sharing a lot of the local knowledge which we were very thankful for.

Just a warning for anyone reading. If you are planning on paying US cash, make sure they are not marked and newer than 2018.

In closing, Mambo is an EXCELLENT choice for anyone travelling to UGANDA and looking into taking in the wildlife tours. The lodgings were amazing as well, even though we opted for the budget.

Thank you Mambo team for all your help and guidance throughout out stay. All the very best!!

Gorilla Tour not official, but bribed a guard for a private tour.
1/5

The tour went ok. While tour was in a Landrover, it was not well maintained. Twice the car would not start until fixed a few days later, ran out of gas since dashboard was not working so never knew how much gas we had or how fast we were going. He tried to change originally quoted hotels on me, most where for a lower quality but when pressed he changed back. I was in low season so no issue with availability.

The biggest issue I had was on the gorilla trekking. The night before he called me to say needed to wake up and hour earlier cause gorillas had moved. I said we stayed in this hotel since it was 10 mins from the Buhoma gate. He said please wake earlier, so I did. One of the owners picked me up, not my usual guide we drove for about an hour. Then parked on side of road, where a Ugandan guard came out of the forest I followed him alone, not sure what was going on and saw gorillas for an hour. This was clearly a bribe for the guard and much lower cost for the operator. For all gorilla treks you usually meet with the group at an official entrance show passport get signed in and and divided into groups, as well as a short talk. This operator clearly did not pay for a gorilla permit. Tour operator and guard pocketed the money not Uganda Parks.

Perfect attention to customer experience!
5/5

I went with Mambo Gorila to Gorilla trekking for one day. As I requested, and althoue very unusual, they managed to arranage a tour for only myself with the gorilas for the same price!
The price I got from Mambo was the best offer by a hundreds of dolars from other companies.
All the staff of the hotel and the company are so nice and helpful especialy Nicholus who took amazing care of me from the minuite I conacted Mambo and even helped me long after with other activitis in diffarent country (which were not paid to Mambo).
I recomend this company with all my hurt!

A trustworthy company who do their best to make your trip the best
5/5

From start to finish everything was fantastic about this trip. Communication was great beforehand and everything was well-handled.
Didan and Zedius made sure we saw everything we were due to see and went everywhere we were due to go, even changing our itinerary for us when we were there so we could add in more of what we were interested in.
We had some amazing experiences. some fantastic food and stayed in some super accommodation all for a reasonable price.
Highly recommended.

Would 100% recommend!
5/5

I was a solo female traveler and a bit anxious so go on a tour by myself. Didan made me feel so comfortable and it was such an amazing time! He gave me so many options of things to do and tailored the tour to what I was interested in. It was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t recommend this tour enough! If you’re thinking about going with this tour company, don’t hesitate! It will be the most amazing trip!
