Exceded Our Expectations
Thank you Bob for the fabulous time we had on our trip that we booked with Shuttle Hospitality. It far exceeded our expectations. The Mahogany Springs Lodge was superb and the staff there was so helpful and attentive to all of our needs. We were given a luxury suite which was truly amazing and totally unexpected.
I can’t say enough positive things about Francis. He was so kind, efficient, helpful, thoughtful and always willing to assist with anything we needed. He even gave us his jacket to wear when we were freezing cold and wet after the gorilla trek in pouring cold rain! That made all the difference in our comfort during the 2 hour ride back to the lodge after the trek. He is a kind man as well as a great driver on treacherous roads.
I would highly recommend The Shuttle Hospitality to anyone interested in booking an amazing experience in Uganda.
Sincerely,
Tina
Attention to the smallest detail! Fulfilled a lifetime dream. The best tour company in Uganda!
We began planning this 3 week adventure almost a year prior to arriving. Bob, the owner was a class act. After inquiring from 6 to 7 different tour companies, Bob responded with a professional. Proposal with details on every day’s activities and each day accommodations. His presentation was so complete we decided we had to inquire further from shuttle hospitality. During every stage of our planning, Bob was supportive and responsive almost immediately to every inquiry we had. He took the stress out of What could otherwise have been a bit overwhelming.
After all our questions had been resolved, and a long trip from the US we arrived in Kampala Uganda with the VIP treatment. We were greeted at the plane, not in arrivals, by a representative who quickly who whisked us through the formalities and helped with our massive amount of luggage. Bob and his guides Francis and Herbert are outside waiting for us. Their vehicle was clean and had plenty of space for my wife and I and our luggage.
Francis, our primary guide was extremely knowledgeable and not only animals and the environment, but the history of Uganda and its tribes. Every detail was addressed from morning until night. We enjoyed our days, whether traveling to a new location or upon arrival and learned so much. Francis insured fluid fulfillment of the proposal Bob sent.
We had to have been very lucky on our Safari as we saw every animal we had hoped to see up close. We saw Jacob of the three legged lion.( Google his famous story) to tree, climbing, lionesses and perhaps over 100 elephants within 20 yards of us at the closest point. Francis insured that we got the best view and pointed out animals some of which I initially couldn’t see, even after pointing them out. He helped us with our cameras and took wonderful pictures. Francis continued day after day checking on us sitting in the back of the trucks to ensure our comfort was satisfactory.. Once Francis knew that we liked french fries he went out of his way to have french fries waiting for us ( and hot I might add at many stops along the way.
The hotels selected by Bob were more than adequate. While not all of them had air conditioning those that didn’t were beautiful tented locations. The food for exceeded our expectations No where were we disappointed in the food.
Perhaps the highlight and the reason for us choosing Uganda was to see the Primates. We were so fortunate to see on our first chimpanzee trekking over 25 chimps that were on the ground running around us paying us no attention. What a thrilling site. But perhaps the highlight of our trip was to go see the Gorillaz. We were very fortunate to find a family within 20 minutes of hiking into the jungle. These gorillas put on a wonderful fascinating show with the younger Gorillas playing together and grooming the silver back. We hired a porter to carry our camera equipment who was right there every time I needed a lens change and even helped us taking GoPro footage.
We had some initial challenges with our visa, which required a change of flights from Johannesburg to Kampala, but Bob and Francis adjusted quickly and accommodated us. They made changes to hotels for us. Despite the stress of that experience, we were reassured along the way that it would be taken care of and it was.
I am not a regular user of superlatives however, my wife and I cannot recommend shuttle hospitality any higher. If you want a complete and total immersive safari experience with knowledgeable guides and attentive management, you found it here with shuttle hospitality.
We want to thank Bob, Francis and Herbert for their kindness and attention to every detail for us. They made the difference between an average and adequate safari to a truly lifetime a memorable one.

Attentive and trustworthy
100% trustworthy. We paid in advance. The driver and owner met us at the airport. At the end, the owner met with us to get our feedback.

Exceptional service and planning
Our tour was amazing from start to finish. Communication was clear and any question was responded to very quickly. We truly felt taken care of and this proved itself during our tour. The accommodations were outstanding and the food was amazing - garden fresh and always had a vegetarian option. Our guide/driver, Francis, was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, culture and about Uganda itself. We not only saw wildlife up close but were treated to visits to show us how to make coffee from tree to cup, weave baskets (which is way harder than it looks) and local music and dancing. Our chimpanzee and gorilla treks were thrilling and something we will never forget. At each location we were treated with kindness and exceptional service. Uganda and its people are wonderful! I would highly recommend a safari in Uganda and would absolutely use Shuttle Hospitality to organize and guide our adventure.

Travel through the wilderness of Africa with people who know what to do and how to do it!
Before the tour started, our host, Nankunda Bob Rodney, did a fantastic job organizing our trip and did a marvellous job assisting us in our special requirements. Our guide, Francis Kyererezi, was absolutely amazing. From the start of this adventure through to the end, each day was more exciting than the day before. Francis found all of the Big 5 for us as well as so much more than we expected. Truly a professional organization with experienced staff and friendly, accommodating hosts.
We were more than satisfied with the service provided and feel that value received was more than the cost.
Our days were well timed without excessive driving and we were well informed about plans for the day. The accommodations were wonderful, the lodging staff were great as were the rooms, meals and settings.
The local people were very friendly, polite and eager to ensure our stay was the best, and it always was!
I would highly recommend The Shuttle Hospitality Tour Group to anyone who is thinking about visiting Africa. When you take this tour, you will leave with memories that will last a lifetime!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on WhatsApp or by email ([email protected])
Thanks again to Bob and Francis for making this trip memorable.
