Above and beyond the call of duty
Shamila helped us book everything. She was patient with our many requests and her responses were very prompt. We felt that it was worthwhile to upgrade to the better lodges with indoor bathrooms and stunning views.
Andrew was our tour guide who worked very hard to give us the best possible experiences whether it was to find animals on safari or to get us free foot massages. If there was extra time, he was happy to bring us to other places not on the itinerary. When our flight was delayed, he quickly added another cultural experience to our itinerary. We always felt safe and well taken care of by Andrew. The food was good and we never got sick. Andrew knows everyone and everyone knows Andrew. We were always happy to see his smiling face. He is excellent at spotting and naming birds. Seeing the gorillas, chimpanzees and golden monkeys in the wild were absolutely incredible experiences that should not be missed. We also went on a walking safari in Lake Mburo where you can see many animals close up.
I would definitely recommend Vibrant Safaris to our friends.

Incredible Safari Experience with Vibrant Holiday Safaris
I recently had chance to spend an unforgettable week exploring some of Uganda’s top national parks with Vibrant Holiday Safaris, and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel experiences of my life. Right from the beginning, I was warmly welcomed by the guide, who made me feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the entire trip.
We started with the stunning Murchison Falls National Park, where I enjoyed game drives, a boat cruise, and the powerful waterfall itself. We then tracked chimps in Kibale and explored Queen Elizabeth National Park, where I had the unique chance to witness the famous tree-climbing lions in the Ishasha sector with the help of Andrew, enjoying the beautiful landscapes. The highlight of my trip was trekking the mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest a truly unforgettable and once in a lifetime experience.
The entire journey was well organized by Shamila, and the guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about nature. I highly recommend Vibrant Holiday Safaris to anyone looking to explore Uganda's natural beauty in a professional and welcoming environment.

Supportive and great operator.
My internship at Vibrant Holiday Safaris was an incredible and enriching learning experience. I had the opportunity to gain hands-on skills in tourism operations, customer care, and itinerary planning. The team was highly professional, supportive, and always willing to guide me. This internship not only improved my confidence but also deepened my understanding of the travel and tourism industry. I'm truly grateful to have been part of such a passionate and dedicated company.

Vibrant Holiday Safaris offers well-organized, personalized, and unforgettable safari experiences
I had an amazing experience with Vibrant Holiday Safaris on my trip to Murchison Falls! From the beginning, their communication was excellent—quick responses, clear details, and a friendly approach that made planning easy.
The service was top-notch, with a knowledgeable and professional guide who ensured we had the best wildlife viewing opportunities. The game drives were incredible, and the boat safari to the base of Murchison Falls was a breathtaking highlight.
The trip was well-organized, reliable, and great value for money. Everything, from transportation to accommodation, was smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend Vibrant Holiday Safaris for an unforgettable safari adventure!

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Vibrant Holiday Safaris!
Everything was perfectly organized, from the first contact to the end of our journey. Their team was extremely professional, attentive to every detail, and always available to ensure we had an unforgettable experience in Uganda.
A major plus was the help they provided even before the trip – they assisted us with visa applications, making the entire process much easier and stress-free. On top of that, the price-quality ratio was excellent, with services that far exceeded our expectations.
The safari itself was perfectly planned, and our guide was exceptional – highly knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to share interesting insights about the wildlife and local culture. The accommodations were comfortable and well-located, allowing us to fully enjoy Uganda’s breathtaking landscapes.
I wholeheartedly recommend Vibrant Holiday Safaris to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and worry-free safari experience. We will definitely be back!

Caring, thoughtful and supportive
I went on a 10 days tailor made trip through Rwanda and Uganda with Vibrant Holidays on a Safari Van in December 2024 and had a wonderful time. In the planning process, the team was very supportive, helped me refine my schedule and responded to all my questions swiftly. I was a bit worried because a lot of down payment is needed in advance to secure the permits for the primate trekkings and I did not know the operator yet. But Lois and her team were very understanding and patient with me, showed me around their office on a video call and directly sent me the copies of the permits as soon as they were booked. The tour itself went also very smoothly. The driver guide (Andrew Murari) was very nice, always there, very attentive, and, as a born Rwandan living in Uganda, provided a lot of cultural knowledge, which was very valuable to me. The accommodations were selected with great attention to detail and tailored to my individual needs. I had an extraordinary trip with Vibrant and returned home with a mind full of unforgettable memories and a storage full of incredible pictures. Thanks again to the whole team!

Unforgettable experience! Thank you VBS <3 <3 <3
I took a 5-day safari to the Queen Elizabeth and Lake Mburo parks.
All arrangements made before the trip by Phionah and Lois went smooth, including payments, extension of the trip by one day to Ishasha plains as well as some slight changes within the default itinerary.
Accommodation was superb, with Eagle’s Nest’s magnificent location as my personal highlight.
All meals were enormous ;)
And my guide Andrew was apparently born to be the best guide ever. Not only he’s able to spot all animals in the parks easily (including not-so-easy to find climbing lions) and share an insightful knowledge about them and impressive respect towards them, but he also took care about introducing me to the local context outside of the parks: we went to crater lakes with local guides, ate rolex and other not-to-be-missed Ugandan foods, listened to afrobeats on the road, and much more.
Ah, and did I say that he’s an excellent driver and passionate photographer that will take a lot of beautiful portraits of you? And then ensure you applied your sunscreen and insect repellent on? 😉
With Andrew, at all times I felt safe, taken care of, and all my questions were answered.
Hanging around with such a professional, warm-hearted, non-judgemental, funny and cool guy was a great fun and pleasure, making the whole experience unforgettable.
Don’t miss out on booking - it’s worth every penny!
Thanks to VBS, I already miss Uganda and hope to go back :)

They are good
I talked to this company about 3 days gorilla trekking. We have many misunderstanding at the beginning. But they can listen finally we start the trip with them. The driver Andrew is an experienced guy. He drove us to the hotel and took us to taste the local food. Its a good time.
