Smooth operation with the best guide
5/5

Our tour took us to Rwanda and Uganda. We saw the Kigale Genocide Memorial, the Golden Monkeys, the Mountain Gorillas in Uganda, and Lake Bunyonyi. The scenery was stunning in both countries and the close encounters with the animals they are working hard to protect was something special.

Every step of the way our guide, Isaac, was on time, helpful, and smiling. He got us where we needed to be, helped us navigate the national park staging areas and boarder crossings, and was great company throughout our time in these beautiful and welcoming countries.

Additionally, he went the extra mile to ensure we made it to the airport in the middle of the night for a very early flight.

Solomon was the best! Made sure we had the best time and always had interesting information to share
5/5

100% worth it. Communication through email and WhatsApp was very easy and always got a same day response or within 1-2 days. The journey is long coming from Entebbe but definitely worth if for the experience you got with the gorillas and both accomodations for the two nights was beautiful and staff were amazing!

A great trip in beautiful Rwanda and Uganda!
5/5

I can't say enough good things about this tour. Our guide Isaac was the best! He took care of every detail. Every lodge was special, in beautiful settings, with tasty food, and very kind staff.
The activities were all we could've asked for. Every day brought a new adventure: cute golden monkeys, awesome mountain gorillas and time at an island in a beautiful lake. This trip exceeded expectations!
Thank you Isaac and Dav!

A memorable safari with some disappointing experiences
3/5

I booked a 9-day safari with this company, visiting Murchison Falls, Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Lake Bunyonyi and Lake Mburo National Park.

The national parks were absolutely beautiful, and the trip offered unforgettable experiences. My guide was friendly, helpful and always willing to assist me, which I really appreciated.

Unfortunately, there were several disappointing aspects of the tour. None of the charging ports in the safari vehicle worked. I believe functioning charging ports should be a basic requirement in a safari vehicle, especially when travelling for several days and relying on phones and cameras to capture the experience.

Another issue was tipping. At several activities, staff explicitly mentioned that tips were expected. Considering that I had already paid hundreds of dollars for some of these activities, I found it disappointing to feel additional pressure to tip.

I enjoyed staying at most of the accommodations, with one major exception: Rwakobo Rock Lodge, near Lake Mburo National Park.

On the evening of my arrival, I was asked what I wanted for breakfast the following morning, and I ordered seven boiled eggs. However, after breakfast, I was informed that only two eggs were included and that I had to pay an additional $10 for the other five. The explanation was that most guests only eat two eggs. The problem is that nobody informed me of this restriction or the extra charge when my order was taken the previous evening.

It is ridiculous that a property advertised as a four-star hotel cannot provide a proper buffet breakfast and charges $10 for five additional eggs. Furthermore, my room had neither air conditioning nor a fan, while several geckos were crawling around inside.

Unfortunately, the experience at Rwakobo Rock Lodge completely ruined my day and left a bitter impression of the entire safari. It was particularly disappointing to end an otherwise wonderful trip on such a negative note.

Overall, the national parks and my guide made this a memorable journey, and I enjoyed staying at most of the accommodations. However, the problems with the vehicle, the pressure to tip and, most importantly, the final accommodation significantly affected my experience.

I am giving this safari 3 out of 5 társ, primarily because of the experience at Rwakobo Rock Lodge, which substantially diminished what should have been an excellent final day of the trip.

A brilliant experience!
5/5

Our guide, Godwin, is a brilliant storyteller and knows the country inside out! During our 10-day safari, we covered hundreds of kilometres, but every place we visited was well worth it. We got to know the local culture and saw loads of animals. The lodges we stayed in served delicious food, and each one offered a completely different experience. If it weren’t for Godwin, we’d never have found our way there! We highly recommend it!
