Reliable, caring and committed - Highly recommend!
5/5

We had a great experience with Hooves!

As we planned the trip, Dickson was very supportive and quick to respond to our inquiries. He also went out of his way to meet us at the start and end of the safari.

Abel, our guide, was kind and reliable. He was a great driver and knew the roads well. We were confident we were in good hands throughout the trip.

The guesthouses that Hooves booked for us were lovely - the staff were very welcoming and the views were unbeatable. We particularly loved the Chimpanzee Forest Guest House.

All in all, we had an amazing trip. Uganda is a beautiful and welcoming country, and gorilla trekking was an experience we’ll never forget. We hope to return and take another trip with Hooves some day!

Trustworthy enthusiastic operator
5/5

We’ve had a superb 3-day 2-night Gorilla tracking experience starting from Kigali with Hooves of Africa. Prior to our trip the owner Dickson was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Our guide Elton was funny and friendly, and very well-informed - answering our numerous questions about everything from nature to politics to football! Our Landcruiser was new and clean, and the accommodation Dickson organised in Bwindi and Lake Bunonyi was clean, comfortable and beautifully situated. Our gorilla encounter was a once in a lifetime experience! If you are reading this and wondering who to trust with your holiday - my family can heartily recommend this firm.

Lorand was extremely kind, intelligent, excellent driver, and the best guide we could have asked for
5/5

My wife and I did a 4 day package that included going to see the golden monkeys and the gorillas and it was truly amazing! Dixon was the best at helping us set up all of our accommodations and activities. We were lucky enough to get Lorand as our guide for the 4 days and he was the absolute best. He was so kind and went to every length to make sure that we felt safe and comfortable every step of the way. He was very intelligent and answered every question that we had about our activities and Uganda in general. The gorilla and golden monkeys experiences were amazing! It’s something that you just have to experience and can’t really describe. I highly recommend this company and tour guide. Thanks so much for the memories!

Wonderful itinerary and experiences
5/5

Found Hooves of Africa via safaribookings.com and immediately had a fast response from Dickson - he always responded very promptly to any questions we had.
Our guide for the 3 day gorillas adventure was Stuart - he did a great job of listening to our requests and tailoring the tour for us.
The accommodation and transport was all great and so of course was the highlight - the trek into Bwindi to see the gorillas.
Highly recommend Hooves of Africa to offer a customised itinerary at a very reasonable price in a very small group (just the two of us).

Nature, animals, culture, extraordinary encounters and endless emotions
5/5

Nature, animals, culture, extraordinary encounters and endless emotions:
do not hesitate, choose Hooves of Africa! If you want to immerse yourself in nature, experience great emotions and fill your heart with indelible memories, Hooves of Africa will satisfy all your expectations. Dickson is the owner, since the planning of our Safari between Uganda and Rwanda he supported us and advised us in the best way. Serious, reliable, always available and timely in his responses, extremely flexible and courteous, thanks to him we defined our travel itinerary with the utmost ease. When we arrived in Entebbe we were welcomed with a big smile by Dickson and our guide Nolmam, who we can define in all respects as the best travel companion we could have had. He won us over, he became a friend! Professional, very prepared, friendly, sensitive and attentive, his information and his stories made the knowledge of these wonderful places even more interesting and profound.

He was also able to lighten and make special the transfers we faced, there were no shortage of stops and small snacks to refresh ourselves and immerse ourselves in the local reality. Our stops were the Queen Elizabeth NP, the cruise on the Kazinga channel and some trekking; with the chimpanzees (Kibale NP), with the gorillas (Bwindi, Ruija), with the Golden Monkyes and to the tomb of Dian Fossey (Virunga NP). The last stops were the visit to the Dian Fossey Center and the Kigali Genocide Memorial. Every single occasion gave us emotions and memories impossible to describe, they must be experienced. We stayed in different lodges during the journey, all excellent facilities, welcoming, immersed in nature, complete with all the services and comforts, we were spoiled and we enjoyed excellent food. Hooves of Africa was able to exceed our expectations and Nolman made all of this happen: we will never forget the happy days spent together. We leave with hearts full of joy and with the desire to return ...
We hope that this review of ours can make the difference in choosing the tour operator for your next trip: trust Hooves of Africa, we would like their commitment and professionalism to be rewarded. Write to us for any further information, we will be happy to provide you with all the details.
