Very professional AND a lot of fun!
5/5

# Booking process
The booking process was very smooth. We interacted with Clare via email. She was highly responsive and made several adjustments based on our comments. We made the payment through bank transfer. Clare was not pushy at all (like “You have to send the full amount ASAP!!!”), which was reassuring and gave us confidence.
Before and during the trip, we communicated with Clare via WhatsApp, which facilitated things a lot. She sent us photos of her and Laban, who were to pick us up from Entebbe airport, and very clearly explained which signs to follow and where to find them. This is very helpful and reassuring if you arrive at 4 a.m. in a foreign place.

# Itinerary
Since Clare was very accommodating to our requests, the itinerary was a mix of our ideas and Otter Safari’s suggestions. Uganda is a huge country, so one must expect some time in the car. But the route was well planned with sufficient stops in between. Car fatigue was never an issue. The car was spacious and in excellent condition (reclinable seats, power outlets, sufficient water).
The tour was quasi-private, i.e., we did not share the car with other tourists, and also nearly all activities were without other tourists. This made the trip very relaxed and flexible—if we made suggestions to our guides, they accommodated them.
All lodges and hotels ranged from great to amazing. All staff and local guides we encountered were very friendly, helpful, and professional.

# Guides
During our trip, we were accompanied by Clare and Laban. They were great for several reasons:
* Safari is about wildlife, and even the best guide cannot control nature. However, Laban tried to push nature a bit. During the game drives, he spotted animals when it was hard to believe they were there. While our guides did not accompany us for the chimpanzee and gorilla trekking, Laban pressed us to arrive early at the trekking sites to ensure we would be assigned to a “good” family of apes. Given how pleasant our treks were, I am sure his interventions helped.
* During our trip, we had the feeling that Clare and Laban “got” us. They suggested the right activities, stopped at the right places, and did not try to “sell” activities we were not interested in.
* Most importantly, Clare and Laban become travel companions. Driving over 1,000 km through Uganda and Rwanda gives you a lot of time in the car. Time to learn about these countries, time to listen to Congolese love songs, and time to laugh. Goodbye in Kigali was rather sad.

Excellent, professional and welcoming

I booked a 3 Days Gorilla Trekking Safari with Otter African Safaris and I flew in from North Cyprus excited about the seeing the mountain gorillas face to face.

On the trekking day, I hiked through Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in the Rushaga sector, where the hike was challenging because of the terrain and dense vegetation of the forest but the experience was worth it as I enjoyed being close to the mountain gorillas for one hour which was a once in a lifetime experience for me.

Huge shoutouts to Clare and the team at Otter African Safaris for handling the permits, the lodges, the clean safari Land Cruiser I used and my dramatic gasps as I reacted to the beautiful environment i was in. They made everything smooth, safe, and seriously unforgettable. Our guide Davis who accompanied us on the safari made sure we enjoyed every bit of the safari as he shared with us a lot about the country Uganda especially it’s history and the culture.

If you’re thinking of a Gorilla trekking Safari in Uganda, do it, and if you want an unforgettable experience do it with Otter African Safaris.

Amazing 8-Day Safari Experience with Otter African Safaris!

I recently had the most unforgettable 8-day safari experience with Otter African Safaris Limited, exploring the stunning landscapes of Murchison Falls National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park and I couldn’t recommend them more!

I traveled with my sisters on a mid-range safari, and from the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized and thoughtfully planned. The team at Otter African Safaris was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, parks, and local culture.

From the breathtaking boat cruise to the base of Murchison Falls, to spotting lions, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, and even the elusive leopard in Queen Elizabeth National Park, every moment was magical. Our guide was not only an expert at spotting animals, but also shared stories and facts that made the entire trip educational and deeply enriching.

The accommodations selected were clean, comfortable, and immersed us right in the beauty of the Ugandan wilderness. The food was delicious, and every day ended with a smile on our faces.

If you are looking for a well-organized, exciting, and authentic safari experience, I highly recommend Otter African Safaris Limited. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with family and friends like we did this is a journey you’ll never forget.

Come and discover the magic of Uganda with Otter African Safaris you won’t regret it!
