Amazing safari experience - Highly recommend!
We had the most amazing time with Tubale’s 10-Day Uganda Wildlife and Primate Tour! It was an incredible experience from start to finish. Planning with seamless – our trip planner, Annette, was quick to respond to emails, answered questions thoroughly, and was extremely accommodating, which made the process stress-free.
We were greeted by our guide, Arafat, at the airport once we landed in Uganda. Arafat is outstanding! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and excellent at spotting all the animals we hoped to see. You communicated clearly about each day’s plan, which helped us feel comfortable and excited for what was ahead. One of our travelers is diabetic, and Arafat went out of his way to help support during a low blood sugar moment. By the end of the trip, it felt like we had built a genuine friendship with Arafat.
The trip itself was a perfect balance of wildlife and cultural experiences. Seeing animals up close was unforgettable, and the cultural experiences gave the trip even more depth. Overall, Uganda is a stunning country with warm, welcoming people.
This is an absolute must do trip! We would absolutely book with Tubale again, and highly recommend them to anyone wanting an amazing experience in and around Uganda.

Tubale arranged a comprehensive 7 day safari packed with opportunities .
For 7 days our guide Arthur worked hard to maximise our opportunities to see the best of Ugandan wildlife. Arthur made sure we stayed on schedule & kept a close eye on us with our safety paramount. His knowledge & understanding of his country gave us insight we would otherwise not have had.
The vehicle was comfortable & provided excellent viewing.
Tubale delivered on their promise.
Very well organised with great people.
The whole trip was very well organised in all aspects. Our excellent guide ensured we had a really good experience and that the safari drives were interesting and exciting. The cruise on the Nile was a memorable experience.

We did a 7-day tour through Uganda with Tubale Safaris and had the chance to explore breathtaking green landscapes and encounter vibrant wildlife.
Our guide, Isaac, was knowledgeable and friendly, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.
The accommodations were simple but comfortable, and the trip was well-organized from start to finish.
Big thanks to Annet for being so responsive and helpful in planning every detail.

Showed us a good time, but made one very poor decision
I had a mixed experience with Tubale. I booked the 3 day gorilla trekking tour in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The accommodations that Tubale booked us at were absolutely fantastic, I could not be more impressed with the hotels we stayed at. Also, the team of safari guides, security and trackers (all employed at Bwindi Forest) were superb. They gave us an incredible service and deserve nothing but the best reviews.
As for the tour guide we were paired with…he picked us up from the airport and drove us 10 hours to the Bwindi Forest. He was very accommodating in giving us bathroom breaks and helping out when one of us was car sick. He went the extra mile at the end of our trip to make sure we had a good experience.
Something I did not appreciate though was when we were going to take a ferry across Lake Victoria, he all but left us to fend for ourselves in a busy market while he was doing other things. In a foreign country and in a market we were not familiar with, we were surrounded by hundreds of people and did not feel safe. We did not know what to expect and had poor communication from him. We were left to register, board and ride the ferry by ourselves, and it was a poor decision. Other than that, he did a good job of making sure our trip was as comfortable as possible.
Also, my communication with the travel consultant was lacking. I expected to hear from her prior to the trip just introducing us to our beginning instructions, etc. But I heard nothing. She had previously told me our shuttle from the airport would be free. It was not, and we had to pay for a taxi. I emailed her to let her know for future travelers that this particular hotel does not provide free shuttle, and she responded that she wished I would’ve communicated that to her sooner. I don’t understand how I could’ve done that, having just gotten to the airport and finding out in that moment that there was not a free shuttle. I didn’t hear from her again during or after the trip. Communication from the travel consultant was definitely not thorough enough.
All of this aside, the hour I spent with the gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is one I will remember all my life, it was a precious experience and I am so thankful I got to have it.
