One of the best vacations we ever had!
We had the best time during this tour! All the organization part was done with Edison via email, who was always very responsive.
Arriving in Rwanda, we were picked up by our guide/drive Jackson, who did a tremendous job driving us around, telling us about both countries and making sure our dietary restrictions were being considered. The itinerary was perfect! We felt we did a lot without feeling tired. We cannot recommend this tour and agency enough! Definitely a vacation to remember forever.
Volcanoes Golden Monkey trek, Bwindi Gorillas, Kalinzu Chimp trekking - 5 day tour RWANDA and UGANDA
I cannot speak highly enough of my trip to Rwanda/Uganda organised through Bamboo Eco Tour company. From the moment I considered booking, throughout the whole process I received very good communication about the book process and what to prepare for and expect on my trip. Thank you Edison!
As for the trip, I had totally the best driver/tour guide for the entire trip. Amanya was amazing. It was great to have his local knowledge and he was both attentive and I felt very safe as a lone female traveller.
I had the best time and will definitely consider returning to Uganda. My next rip would also include visiting Murchison Falls/NP.
Thanks again - Amanya and Bamboo Eco Tours.
I loved my trip every single day!

Dream gorilla & chimp adventure—personalized, professional, and beyond expectations
I went on a four-day private gorilla and chimpanzee trek that started in Kigali, Rwanda, passed through Uganda, and ended back in Kigali. The experience was fantastic from start to finish.
Edison was incredibly responsive—he took the time to tailor the trip to my budget and schedule, guided me through the visa process, and was flexible with last-minute schedule changes. His attention to detail made planning easy and stress-free, and he patiently answered my endless questions at all hours of the day.
The gorilla trek was truly a dream come true. My driver, Herbert, was equally wonderful—safe, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. He went above and beyond to make the trip comfortable, even helping me get medicine after a wasp sting. He also took the time to prep me for each experience—the gorilla trek, chimpanzee trek, and the boat tour—so I knew what to expect and could get the most out of each activity. His care and effort made the journey even more memorable.
Overall, I would highly recommend Bamboo Ecotours to anyone considering this kind of trip. They offer a professional, personalized experience that really makes you feel taken care of.

Amazing customized experience in Uganda and Rwanda
My friend and I went on a 12 day tour with Bamboo. We started in Uganda and ended in Rwanda. They customized the tour with the activities we wanted to do. Edison, who is the owner, made the itinerary. He always answered my emails (which there were many) very promptly. Our guide/driver was Herbert, and he was amazing!! I actually cried when we said bye to him. He was friendly, caring, knowledgeable, has amazing eyesight and was able to spot animals far away, and was an amazing driver. We really had the best time with him!! This trip was amazing!! My friend and I are both vegan, and we had some issues at some of the lodges at the beginning of the trip, but then Herbert called the others in advance to give them a heads up to make sure there would be food for us. I really can't say enough good things about Bamboo Ecotours. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat! Very very happy that we booked with them!
Clear and prompt communications with Edison ensured a smooth gorilla hiking experience
My amazing gorilla trek was seamlessly coordinated by Bamboo EcoTours. Every step of the trip, from initial inquiry to delivery, was a breeze, thanks to Edison's clear and timely information. My driver/guide, Amanya, was prompt and friendly and provided information about things along the way on our drive from Kigali to Lake Mulehe and Bwindi National Park. I decided to do the Golden Monkey trek the following day after completing the Gorilla trek, and again this was organised with no fuss. I highly recommend Bamboo Eco Tours!
