Extremely experienced - provided an excellent safari experience
I have done safaris in eight countries across Africa and this was by far the next itinerary and experience. It has a mix of everything. Waterfalls, boat trips, game drives (dawn, daytime, and at night), and walks through animal sanctuaries. We even got time for a drink in the pool. The camping experience was unforgettable. Nick has all the equipment imaginable. Nick and his team were fantastic. I couldnāt recommend them highly enough.

A Friendly, Fully Custom Uganda Adventure
We wanted to visit my sister, who worked in Uganda, and then see as much of the country as possible. Meanda Uganda gave us exactly that at a fair price.
Nick quickly put together a fantastic route that included Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison Falls, Kidepo Valley, Mount Elgon, and Jinja. When my sisterās workplace suddenly changed from Gulu to Mubende, he adjusted the pick-up location and dates without any problem.
From start to finish, the communication was great, and Nick always responded very quickly!
We travelled in an RV with a rooftop tent. It was very comfortable and felt safe. Some nights we camped inside national parks, and sometimes stayed in lodges. The RVās fridge and freezer kept plenty of fresh food and cold drinks.
Nick is very friendly and has a good sense of humour. He makes you feel like you are travelling with a friend rather than being just a customer. Every day, he adapted the plan to our pace and to any new circumstances.
I highly recommend Meanda Uganda if you want a real, off-the-beaten-track Uganda trip done safely and comfortably!

Bloody brilliant.
Had a great time working with Nick to sort out an experience with Uganda. Best 10 days in memory. Ranged from basic down and dirty to high star lodge accommodation. Perfect eye opener to Uganda, myself and friends.
Thanks Nick - will be back soon.

Creates the we experience of a lifetime
Nick Brant fully involved us from the outset in putting together our target locations to visit and through the trip checking what we wanted to do next. He always gave us recommendations and options based on his experience and was flexible for example about whether we camped or stayed in lodges.
Amazing highlights included: being woken to the sound of hippos around us; wild camping guarded by a ranger with a fire through the night; walking by chimps in the rainforest of Kibale and watching a female chimp groom her young; the overwhelming power of Murchison Falls; seeing elephants drink and crocodiles bask in the Kazinga Channel. We also saw, at close quarters, a leopard, lions, rhino, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, a huge range of birds and a massive snake glide right up to our 4x4!

Nick was an excellent guide, with lots of local knowledge. He is a great people person!
I had an excellent 5 day experience with Nick which worked out incredibly well from the first moment on. I trusted Nick to take the lead and had previously only mentioned my interest in visiting the gorillas. Through discussing with Nick I learnt of how incredible the pearl of Africa really is and realised that I needed to do at least a five day trip to make the most of my time in Uganda.
I felt safe with Nick as soon as I entered the car and he took great control of the journey. The camping was more luxurious than I imagined and I even had a shower which comes out of the back of the van!
I am sure I brought the luck of the Irish on the trip as I had close encounters with lots of animals including the tree climbing lion and shoe bill bird. The highlight of my trip was the visit to Kasenyi fishing village where during our camping we came in contact with a school of 14 hippos and a family of 6 elephants around our campsite! I would definitely recommend Nick as a guide and I hope to do another tour with him soon!

Life Changing Tour
Hard to adequately describe the epic tour, that fully captures the excitement and exhilaration, that was run by Meanda Uganda. Nick, our tour guide, could not have provided a more interesting, challenging, rewarding, educational and, literally, life changing experience.
Without providing a full map of Uganda we basically covered the full list of National Parks and links between. Nick was as hands on or light touch as we needed, skilfully assessing our experience and confidence (which grew daily) without ever over stretching us. We managed to see close up the 'Big Five', which I am certain was down to Nick's local knowledge and extensive research, and no doubt we would have completely missed on our own.
From the start we felt part of a new family group, with all home comforts provided as part of the package. Early breakfasts watching the sun rise, travelling to each checkpoint with full commentary of the local areas, parks, history, wildlife, evening meals around a campfire under the stars is an experience never forgotten.
I canāt recommend Meanda Uganda more highly if you want the full āonce in a lifetimeā experience.

The most incredible experience of my life
Genuinely one of the most unforgettable 2weeks. From beginning to end the whole trip was full of memories and made to be exactly how we wanted and what worked for us! Not a thing I would change. Thank you so much Nick!

Meanda Uganda is the best choice for your adventure tour in Uganda
I had a fantastic adventure experience with Meanda Uganda. Nick Brant can make your tour unforgettable ! He can literally tailor the perfect tour according your needs.
Together with another two skilled motorists we made a loop for 6 days , 1400 km riding adventures bike!! Yes , you read well! Meanda Uganda can organize tour also with adventure bike!! Every day we reached the camping point with alternative routes mostly off-road trough forest, mountain and beautiful wildlife. Meanda Uganda followed us with truck (when possible) as back up in case of problem with bikes . Bikes are in perfect condition didnāt need any rescue.
All camping sites are equipped with showers and toilets. Sleep in the tent or in a room on proper bed is your choice.
Meanda Uganda provides any stuff you need! Tent and sleeping bag . The truck is fully equipped with kitchen to prepare delicious meals in the evening and enjoy the time around a fireplace . Uganda is an incredible green country with beautiful people I never felt in danger.
The service and cost of the tour depends on your request, where to sleep what eat , what visit, some national parks are not free. Meanda Uganda in the person of Nick will make you happy to spend your money in best way price is honest and adequate.
Meanda Uganda is definitely the right choice for a perfect adventure tour !!!
