Exceptional service, personalized planning, expert guides, and unforgettable experiences.
Our family of four (parents ages 57 and 54, with our sons ages 21 and 18) recently returned from what was truly among the best family vacations we have ever taken. We traveled to Uganda to celebrate both of our sons' graduations, one from high school and one from college, as well as our older son's 21st birthday. Thanks to Bob, Francis, and The Shuttle Hospitality, it became a trip that created memories we will cherish forever.
From the very beginning, Bob was outstanding. He was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process, often replying to emails almost immediately. I honestly wasn't sure if he ever slept! He worked closely with us to customize the perfect itinerary based on our interests, and every detail was thoughtfully planned.
From the moment we arrived in Uganda, the service was exceptional. Bob and Francis personally met us at the airport, where we received VIP assistance through immigration, baggage claim, and airport formalities, making our arrival completely seamless after a long journey. It was a wonderful way to begin our adventure and immediately made us feel welcomed, valued, and well taken care of.
Our driver and guide, Francis, exceeded every expectation. He was simply exceptional. His driving skills were masterful, allowing us to travel comfortably and confidently throughout the country. His knowledge of Uganda's national parks, wildlife, birds, history, and culture was extraordinary. Every game drive was educational and exciting because of his incredible ability to spot wildlife we never would have seen on our own. He also shared fascinating insights into Uganda's history, traditions, and daily life, making the experience so much richer. Beyond his expertise, Francis was warm, professional, personable, and genuinely committed to making our trip unforgettable.
The itinerary itself was spectacular. Every lodge we stayed in exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were beautiful, the locations were breathtaking, the food was excellent, and the hospitality from every member of the staff was outstanding. Each lodge had its own unique character while consistently delivering exceptional service.
One of the things that impressed us most was the flexibility and outstanding customer service. After experiencing chimpanzee trekking and gorilla trekking, we realized we wanted even more time with these incredible animals. During our trip, Bob and Francis quickly secured additional permits and seamlessly adjusted our itinerary so we could add another chimpanzee trek and an additional gorilla trek. Knowing how difficult these permits can be to obtain, we were incredibly grateful that they made it happen without disrupting the rest of our journey.
Throughout the entire trip, we felt safe, comfortable, and exceptionally well cared for. Francis was always attentive and professional, and we had complete confidence in him every step of the way. Combined with Bob's meticulous planning, we were able to simply relax and immerse ourselves in the experience. We also found the Ugandan people to be among the warmest, friendliest, and most welcoming people we have encountered anywhere in the world.
Uganda itself is an extraordinary destination. The wildlife is incredible, the scenery is breathtaking, and the diversity of experiences is unlike anywhere else. From unforgettable safaris to trekking with mountain gorillas and chimpanzees, every day brought something new and remarkable. Celebrating our son's 21st birthday during the trip made it even more special, and thanks to the thoughtful planning and wonderful experiences, it became a birthday he will never forget.
If you are considering a safari in Uganda, we cannot recommend The Shuttle Hospitality highly enough. Bob and Francis went above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience for our family. Their professionalism, flexibility, knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine care made this a seamless and truly exceptional adventure. If you've been hesitant about visiting Uganda, our experience was overwhelmingly positive. We never once felt unsafe and would return without hesitation.
This was more than just a vacation. It was a once-in-a-lifetime family experience that exceeded every expectation and created memories we will treasure forever. We give The Shuttle Hospitality our highest recommendation and would not hesitate to travel with them again.
A bucket list experience!
We booked The Hospitality Shuttle based on their reviews and they absolutely lived up to their 5/5 reviews!
Leading up to the trip, Bob was seamless with communication, helping us create a tour that suited our needs and was very flexible as we worked on the finer details.
Once we arrived in Uganda, we were in safe hands. The accomodation associated with the tour is all stunning! The vehicles used was without a doubt the best vehicle we saw on the trip (some companies have mini vans, Shuttle Hospitality have the fun jeeps). Food at all accomodations is so delicious!
Our guide, Emmy, was so patient and clearly explained what was going to happen each day. He was very passionate about the wildlife and went above and beyond to try and make sure we saw as many animals as possible.
Honestly, not a single thing went wrong! We saw the Big 5, slept well, ate well and were in excellent company the entire trip.
It was a dream come true!
SI
Very responsive and reliable.
We chose Shuttle hospitality because they had good rates on Safari Bookings. Our experience working with them smooth, because we were getting answers very quickly, all informations were reliable and our wishes were (if possible) taken into account. Tour was organized professionally, tour guide (Francis) was experienced and helpful, accommodation was as planned. If I would go to Uganda once again, I would not hesitate to contact them once again.
Everything was seamless, and the accommodations first class.
Can't say enough about how easy and first class everything was.

A flawless trip that was tailored perfectly to our needs.
We were looking for a last-minute Eid getaway but ended up booking the trip of a lifetime. What began as a four-day journey on a tight budget evolved into eight unforgettable days filled with extraordinary experiences for two families.
As we learned and explored the possibilities, Bob patiently adapted the itinerary, offering thoughtful suggestions and collaborating closely with us until we had created our ideal holiday. Our wish list was ambitious: volcanoes, waterfalls, boat trips, horse riding, golf, and, of course, plenty of wildlife. Every request was considered, and when the trip finally came together, it exceeded our expectations.
The lodges were beautiful, the food fresh and delicious, and the team (Francis and Chris) throughout our journey were fun, kind and very knowledgable. We found it incredibly difficult to leave. Understandably, concerns about health and global uncertainty had been on our minds before traveling, but we were so well looked after that those worries quickly disappeared, allowing us to fully relax and immerse ourselves in culture, breathtaking landscapes and wonderful people.
We have become unofficial ambassadors for Uganda and are already looking forward to our next visit.
