Amazing customized experience in Uganda and Rwanda
5/5

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
5/5

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!

What a Wonderful Time!
5/5

We had the best week with Fred our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, easy going, kind and had good communication! Edison has beyond excellent organizational skills during the planning process. 10/10 we would recommend Bamboo Eco Tours, thank you for memories to last a lifetime!

Professionally Executed Gorilla Trek Tour
5/5

Bamboo Eco Tours provided a well executed and professionally arranged gorilla trek experience for us out of Kigali, Rwanda to Bwindi National Park in Uganda. They were very responsive to all questions and requests while initially arranging the tour and made a number of recommendations with regards to activities to include. They provided all needed information for both the tour itself and advance preparation. They were very responsive to questions. In addition, our guide was professional, friendly and prompt. Our accommodation was first class with attentive staff and very comfortable rooms. While the price of the trekking permits is quite high (as set by the government), the cost of the remainder of the tour was very affordable. It was very remarkable to see the gorillas in their habitat - a once in a lifetime opportunity. Would highly recommend Bamboo Eco Tours.

Reliable, organized, prompt - Perfect!
5/5

Bamboo Eco Tours organized a 4-Day Uganda Gorilla & Golden Monkey Fly-In Safari for our family of 5. The trip exceeded our expectations! Bamboo Eco Tours provided complete, accurate information and perfect execution of our gorilla trek tour from my initial inquiry through to dropping us back at the airport at the end of the tour.


I researched many companies for a gorilla trek in Uganda before deciding whole heartedly on Bamboo Eco Tours. Edison answered all my questions (and there were many!) quickly and thoroughly, offering options that I hadn’t considered. Once I had decided on the tour, all the flights, permits and accommodation bookings were quickly completed and I was kept informed at every step.


We landed in Kisoro and met our driver Jackson, a lovely, kind person who immediately put us at ease with his friendly, outgoing manner and great sense of humour. Jackson was very knowledgeable and shared information on Ugandan culture, customs and daily life. We are very appreciative of the effort he made to make our trip memorable. The vehicle used was clean, comfortable and well maintained.


We chose Ichumbi Gorilla Lodge for our first 2 nights - the cabins are beautifully appointed and maintained, meal options varied and well prepared and the service team truly engaging. Lake Mulehe Safari Lodge accommodation was a little tired in comparison to Ichumbi but offered stunning views of the lake.


I highly recommend Bamboo Eco Tours - wonderful people at every step. Thank you so much Jackson and Edison - you helped create wonderful memories for our family in your beautiful country!
