7-Day Budget Safari in Uganda
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience, Deo. We couldn't have wished for a better and nicer guide. The tour was very well planned, we were able to see all the animals we wanted. All the activities and accommodation were well chosen. We would book it again and again.
Experienced and Competent.
I went to Uganda with specific target birds and Deo delivered and more. He is trustworthy and pleasant to travel with. Compare with other operators his prices were very competitive.
An amazing 3 month safari through Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda & Rwanda w/ Deo Muhumuza & co-guides!
On our 5th trip to Africa, we wanted to see as much as possible. So, we spent 3 months with Deo, becoming fast friends & feeling so lucky to know an expert guide, who was also friendly and fun (and loved music as much as we do!). Car troubles, border crossings, running out of ginger ale, all these "disasters" were quickly and capably handled by Deo. No one got angry, and these issues ended up being part of the fun of the trip.
During planning, I mentioned to Deo that we often liked to pay a bit extra so a "trainee" guide could join us and get experience birding, guiding and practicing English. (I recommend this, we've made many good friends this way.) And Deo, being a genius, and to honor Uganda's Year of the Woman Birder, found 4 different women guides to join us in each country! So, for once, I wasn't the only female in the group! It was a blast.
Also, he found a local expert in each country (and sometimes an additional super-localized expert), meaning my bird list was over 800 at the end of the trip (35+ mammals, too!), and that we met so many great people! We are still in touch with most of the guides & drivers, 2 years later.
I've been trying to win the lottery ever since because we so badly want to go back to East Africa to see our good friends again. Maybe I'll retire there? ;-)
Fantastic trip with Deo Muhumuza and Brian Tuhaise over 3 weeks to see 526 species of birds
There were 5 trip members from UK which we organised with Deo through Birding Pal. Deo met us at Lake Victoria View guest house where we were familiarising ourselves with the Hotel garden Birds. A big smile from Deo soon got us on the right footing. From the outset and through the rest of the trip, communication, expert guiding and service lived up to the highest standard of hopefull expectation.
Deo was a true professional as well as being a great companion and friend during our three weeks in Uganda.
He did his utmost best to make sure we saw as many species as possible. I personally got on great with him because of my keen interest in photography and his similar passion in the same subject.
We all enjoyed his sense of humour.
Brian our driver and assistant guide got on so well with us all that we thanked our luck stars we had such a good friendly team.
I would not hesitate in recommending both for future trips in Uganda.
Here's to successful future trips.

A superb birdwatching trip with an excellent guide and driver who looked after our every need.
A great tour with amazing boat trips and well planned walks to give a really great and close views of the birdlife and close encounters with the animals. The tour was everything I could have hoped for and it will live long in the memory. I found Deo's knowledge of the bird's to be superb and it was a pleasure to share his enthusiasm. Brian drove our van really well and he too helped find birds for our party.
