An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Bush Craft Safaris
From the very first email to the final goodbye, Bush Craft Safaris exceeded every expectation. The communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, making the booking process stress-free. Our guide Frank was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife—he went out of his way to ensure we had the best sightings while respecting the animals and their habitat.
The itinerary was perfectly balanced, offering a mix of breathtaking landscapes and up-close wildlife encounters. At Murchison Falls National Park, we watched the sunrise over the Nile, witnessed elephants drinking by the water’s edge, spotted lions lounging in trees, and came within arm’s reach of graceful giraffes. A mother-and-baby olive baboon strolled right past our vehicle, a Nile crocodile slid into the river, and we even received a memorable “death stare” from a dominant hippo.
In Queen Elizabeth National Park, our lodge was magical—each evening we fell asleep to the calls of weaver birds, and every morning an elephant came to visit our veranda while hippos grazed on the shore. The Kazinga Channel boat cruise was a birder’s paradise, with countless species darting across the water.
The absolute highlight, however, was the mountain gorilla trekking. The moment we locked eyes with the silverback, my heart raced—I felt the raw power of our closest primate relative, and it was both humbling and electrifying. I joked that he could punch me all the way back to China!
The value for money was outstanding—every lodge, meal, and transfer was top-notch, and the reliability of the team meant we never worried about a single detail. This was not just a holiday; it was a life-changing adventure. I am already planning my return trip. Highly, highly recommended!

A bucket-list adventure
I’ve just returned from an unforgettable week in Rwanda and Uganda with Bush Crafts Safaris — truly a bucket-list adventure filled with breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, gorillas, chimpanzees, and endless moments surrounded by nature.
My guide Frank and trainee Joel made the experience even more special. They were professional, caring, and always attentive to my needs, ensuring I felt comfortable while also giving me a genuine and authentic local experience.
As a solo female traveller, I felt safe, supported, and well looked after throughout the journey. I would highly recommend Bush Crafts Safaris to anyone looking for an amazing wildlife adventure with a personal touch.

An unforgettable safari and primate adventure!
Our 4-day / 3-night safari with Bush Craft Safaris, including Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking, was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our travels.
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish and our guide and driver, Allan, was simply outstanding. His knowledge about Uganda’s wildlife, nature, and culture, combined with his great sense of humor, made every day enjoyable and informative.
The Gorilla Trekking was a once-in-a-lifetime experience - seeing these magnificent, gentle animals up close was simply incredible. The Chimpanzee Trekking was equally fascinating and completed an amazing wildlife adventure.
Uganda’s lush green hills, banana, tea and coffee plantations, friendly people, and delicious food truly make it the “Pearl of Africa.”
We highly recommend Bush Craft Safaris and if you‘re lucky enough to have Allan as your guide, you’re in the very best hands!

Just awesome and unforgettable
Our 4 days Uganda safari with Bush Craft Safaris was just perfect. We enjoyed a fantastic time on our trips to Bwindi National Park and Queen Elisabeth National Park.
Absolute highlights were the Gorilla trekking and the Chimpanzee tour. On our way to these various highlights, we could enjoy the beautiful landscapes of Uganda.
Not to forget our driver Allan. He was just amazing. So knowledgable, so friendly and flexible in meeting all our requests and wishes. Thank you so much Allen for all your support. This was really outstanding👍.

Gorillas, Chimpanzees & Wildlife – The Perfect Uganda Safari
Our 4-day safari in Uganda with Bush Craft Safaris was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
From the moment Allan picked us up at the airport, we knew we were in excellent hands. He was friendly, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable. During the journey, he shared fascinating insights about Uganda, its people, culture, and wildlife, making every drive enjoyable and informative.
The Gorilla Trekking was simply breathtaking. Seeing a family of mountain gorillas up close in their natural habitat was an emotional experience we will never forget. The Chimpanzee Trekking was equally special, especially when the oldest chimpanzee walked right past us and seemed to pose for our cameras.
The boat safari on the Kazinga Channel and the game drive in Queen Elizabeth National Park completed the adventure perfectly. We saw hippos, crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, warthogs, antelopes, countless birds, a leopard, and finally a magnificent male lion. Allan’s remarkable ability to spot wildlife and his patience gave us plenty of time to observe and take photos.
The accommodations were comfortable, the food was excellent, and everything was perfectly organized.
If you are planning a safari in Uganda, we highly recommend choosing a local company like Bush Craft Safaris. You support the local community while benefiting from outstanding local knowledge and authentic experiences.
A huge thank you to Allan and the entire Bush Craft Adventures team for making this trip truly unforgettable. We would travel with them again anytime.
