Memories to last a lifetime!
Ecovic Tours went above and beyond to provide the most amazing 14 day safari for my fiancé and me! Truly, every day brought something new and spectacular. We talked to other travelers who would bemoan not seeing the leopards, we saw two! We heard people say that the tree climbing lions had left the Ishasha sector, but we saw them and cubs! Frank was our friend and guide for the 14 days and he always found what we were looking for, I am so grateful we were with him! Victor was very helpful in setting everything up and providing clear communication. He was very patient with us, as we sorted out a payment issue upon arrival. And for anyone unsure about the best way to wire funds, I’ve learned that the Wise app is best for transferring money from the US to Stanbic Bank, after my bank wouldn’t wire, and other apps charged exorbitantly high fees or used poor exchange rates. Victor and Frank also worked together to get our delayed luggage delivered to us in rapid order! I couldn’t believe how smoothly they make everything work. It was the trip of a lifetime, and though I’m home now, I still relive the moments, and am forever grateful for the experiences provided by Ecovic Tours!
Poor service
I had to cancel my tour. I cancelled 6 months in advance. After multiple communications I haven't received my refund. And responses to my questions are several days later or none at all.
Prior to my cancellation emails were responded to within 48 hrs.

Awesome from Start to Finish
**Review for Ecovic Safari Tours and Guide Frank**
We had an unforgettable experience with Ecovic Safari Tours during our recent trip to Uganda. From the moment we started booking, Vincent made the process smooth and straightforward, ensuring all our preferences were accommodated. Once on the tour, our guide Frank truly went above and beyond to make our safari special. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and always made sure we had the best possible experiences.
We saw a remarkable variety of wildlife, including lions up close, hippos, elephants, giraffes, and rhinos – it was breathtaking! The accommodation, which we had chosen as mid-range, far exceeded our expectations. It was of the highest standard, with exceptional service, and the meals were consistently delicious throughout the trip.
We highly recommend Ecovic Safari Tours for anyone planning a Ugandan adventure. Frank and the entire team made this a trip of a lifetime!

A perfect Holiday in Uganda, the pearl of Africa indeed!
Our first trip to the continent spanned about 14 days and we would say it was one of the best trips we have ever been on.
Ecovic Tours provided a wonderful guide, Sam, who is very knowledgeable and skilled with past experience working in the National Parks as well. He knew how to locate animals and spent time to educate us on the behaviors and adaptations of the various wildlife spotted during the trip. He was also always very helpful and took very good care of us. It was a joy to have been able to travel with him while we were in Uganda. Sam' capabilities and service alone warrants this experience the "Excellent" rating it has received from us.
The accommodations/tents were all comfortable and enjoyable with nice food and sceneries. The vehicle was spacious and comfortable. Overall, we felt very safe with the travel arrangements.
Uganda is a beautiful country. I cannot wait to visit it again someday with Ecovic Tours.

Amazing Safari that Exceeded my Expectations
Going on a Safari was the only thing on my bucket list. Found Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda online and contacted them because of their excellent ratings and prompt answers.
Vincent did a great job in making suggestions and formulating our itinerary. He helped with the actual details of our trip in Uganda. Prompt answers to our many questions. Initiated communication a number of times.
Actually safari was unbelievable. From guides, to camps , to locations, to accommodations and food were all 5 star. Each of the 3 camps we stayed at were very different in terms of environments and terrain. Gave us a broad experience of Uganda and her animals , vegetation, water and terrain.
And Murchison Falls, at the beginning, took our breath away. But a great 9 days and would not hesitate to use Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda again. Highly recommended

Excelent service from the first email to good-bye at the airport.
Amazing 8 days in Uganda!!!
We decided for Ecovic Tour , because of easy and quick communication with Vincent. He provided us with all information and answered fast all our questions.
Our guide Hussein made and excellent job und was very friendly. He asked about our expectations and wisches and planed every day accordingly. Every day was different und full of great experiences and adventures, yet not too tiring. Whether it was in the jungle, savannah , village ot city ,we felt safe at all times. The meals took place in restaurants or lodges und there were always more possibilities to choose from. Local and international. The food was very tasty and we had no health problems.
All in all, we had a great time in Uganda.
We would like to thank Ecovic Tours and recommend it to everyone ,who is planning a trip to this beautifull country!

Best 7 Day experience in Uganda
We booked a 7 day, Gorilla Trekking, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth National Park, plus more. with Ecovic and it completely exceeded our expectations. From the minute we started planning this trip, Vincent was incredible with prompt communication and ensuring we were going to accomplish everything we wanted during our 7 days. The prices were very fair and what we received exceeded our expectations. Our driver Hussein was incredible, he was so knowledgable and was not going to give up until we found a lion during our game drives.
The accommodations we stayed in were exceptional, especially for budget accommodation. Staying on Lake Bunyonyi was exceptional and our favourite night. Swimming at sundown and staying in the cabin on the island was stunning and I will for sure be returning. The Bush Lodge in Queen Elizabeth was also stunning and eating outside with the hippos at night was a once in a lifetime experience. All the food was delicious and the staff at all accommodations were so kind and helpful. All of the game drives and boat cruises were amazing, with Hussein guiding us through the National Parks and explaining each animal, bird, plant etc. We saw all the major animals and we have not a single complaint.
Overall Ecovic Tours and the staff was amazing. I would recommend their services to anyone visiting Uganda with no doubt. It was the best week we have ever had and it went so smoothly. If you are looking for the ultimate experience in Uganda you can't go wrong with Ecovic!
We will be returning!

Fantastic 10 days Mountain Gorillas, Chimps & Uganda Wildlife Safari
From the start we had a great experience with Ecovic Tours. Before the trip Vincent was always available for any questions or concerns and our itinerary was adjusted easily to our wishes. The trip itself was a wonderful experience, especially thanks to our great guide Richard who was always helpful and very knowledgeable! We got to see a lot of different parts of Uganda with some history, culture, nature and of course all the wildlife Uganda has to offer - it was a very good and varied itinerary for us. Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience!

Amazing experience & Great staff
We had a great experience with Vincent and Ecovic Tours. The communication from Vincent from Ecovic Tours was great and we felt very looked after the whole time. Our Tour Driver Adam was very knowledgeable of the local surroundings and had a great passion for his work. Adam went above and beyond for us and was very accommodating and worked very hard to get all our needs met including when we fell ill and had to go to the doctors, Vincent took care of everything and rearranged things for us so we wouldn't miss out on anything. And Vincent also helped us out after hours after our tour had finished, our flight got rescheduled unexpectedly and we were left at the airport but Vincent came to the rescue and arranged airport transportation and accommodation for us even though he didn't have to. We found all the accommodation staff to be very friendly and welcoming too. The food was always delicious and there was always plenty of food all day. We would highly recommend this tour and this tour group to everyone and we are very Thankful that we chose Ecovic Tours and thankful for all of Vincent & Adam's hard work too.
