An unforgettable trip thanks to perfect organization
several times as self-drivers, and this time we truly appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed Bob's exceptional service. It was wonderful to simply focus on the experience and relax – trusting that Bob planned everything perfectly while remaining flexible and spontaneous at all times.
Thank you so much, Bob! You have connected us to your homeland in a wonderful way.

A truly unforgettable journey through the Pearl of Africa
We had an absolutely amazing 15-day safari in Uganda with Emerald of Africa Safaris, and it was an experience we will never forget.
The wildlife was incredible, and we were lucky enough to see so many different animals. A huge part of that was thanks to our wonderful guide, Percy, who has an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. Nothing seemed to escape him! He was also a very safe and confident driver, extremely knowledgeable, funny, friendly and caring. He took care of everything along the way, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy every moment of our adventure.
The lodges throughout the trip were beautiful, comfortable and very thoughtfully organized with a strong focus on being eco-friendly. The staff everywhere we stayed were warm, friendly and always willing to help, which made the experience even more special.
What really stood out to us was the personal care and attention we received throughout the entire journey. We felt well looked after from beginning to end, and Percy truly went above and beyond to make our safari unforgettable.
We would definitely recommend Emerald of Africa Safaris to anyone dreaming of discovering Uganda. And if you're lucky enough to have Percy as your guide, you're in very good hands!
Thank you for an incredible adventure and so many beautiful memories!

EAU/RWA: Every wish was met; individually planned, excellently executed, and thus highly recommended
We wanted to include a guided segment in our African trip that focused primarily on visiting national parks and wildlife viewing.
We got in touch with Bob through a recommendation from friends who had traveled with Emerald Safaris several times. Beforehand, we had picked out a few destinations in Uganda and Rwanda that we were keen to visit or see. Working with us and responding quickly, Bob put together an itinerary based on our ideas while also recommending a few destinations that fit better into the schedule—offering the same quality of experience without requiring endless hours of driving.
As planned, our guide Lucky picked us up at our hotel in Kampala after we had spent a few days there. The time we spent together was exhilarating—a journey from one highlight to the next. Whether it was spotting the shoebill stork, rhino trekking, game drives in various national parks, crossing the equator, or the lodges we stayed in—we couldn't imagine how things could have been any better. In Lucky, we had a guide who was always highly professional and knowledgeable. He introduced us to the history and culture of the countries we visited, showed us things that would otherwise have gone unnoticed, facilitated unforgettable encounters with the "Big Five," and ensured we usually arrived at sights and attractions before the crowds. And then there was an unexpected surprise, too. Simply fantastic! We would love to travel together again anytime!

Incredible experience with a brilliant guide
We visited Uganda for a 9-day safari tour, and this company made it one of the best experiences of our lives. Our fantastic guide Edmand worked tirelessly to make sure we were comfortable, maximise the time with the animals, and was a fountain of interesting knowledge about the various species, culture, and history of the country. We learned so much and really appreciated Edmand's ability to find the hiding animals, as well as his patience to let us enjoy the moments (whilst other safari jeeps drove off, we spent an extra 10 minutes with a lioness and her cubs). In addition, the accommodation was all lovely, and the food throughout was great (we're vegetarian and didn't struggle at all). Cost wise we found the company to be fair compared to others. Importantly though we were never up-sold anything throughout the tour. Everything is included and there was no one trying to make us spend more. Thank you Emerald of Africa. If we're lucky enough to visit Uganda again, we will definitely rebook with you!
