Resourceful and Charismatic
5/5

Amazing, AMAZING tour! We almost went with another tour company at first, and am so happy we didn’t! The other cost almost exactly the same, and had less experiences!
Wild Uganda was wonderful all around, and the people were all just lovely to work with! We enjoyed all the hotels we stayed at, and all the activities we had and how our drive time was broken up as well. The highlight of the tour was our guide Derrick, he made everything happen and everything possible! One of our bags never made it, and Derrick was so nice to stop off and help us negotiate clothing prices with local vendors! He also had someone go to the airport and check for the bag multiple times. I had purchased some souvenirs from the trip, couldn’t find another bubble wrap, and somehow Derrick found someone with bubble wrap who delivered it to me all the way from Kampala! Derrick went above and beyond and this tour would have honestly been nothing without him! Everyone in my group felt very bonded to Derrick and we talked about how much we missed him as soon as we all parted ways. I would absolutely tour with wild Uganda again, and especially Derrick!

AMAZING
5/5

Everything about this tour was perfect. From booking, to the most perfect tour guide (Derrick), to the lodging and excursions. We stayed in the most beautiful, picturesque lodges, with the most attentive and polite staff. Our tour guide knew the best places in the areas we visited for items we had forgotten to pack or realized we needed. He knew everything about the animals on the safari and ones we passed along the way. He was accommodating and a FANTASTIC host. Communication was great before we paid for the trip and at every step along the way. Even when we asked to change our booking during the trip. I HIGHLY recommend this tour company, and make sure to ask for Derrick as your guide!

Love Uganda!
5/5

This trip was incredibly special to me. I planned it to celebrate my birthday and fulfill my dream of visiting mountain gorillas. Wild Uganda was the company that best suited my needs in terms of time, energy, and budget. Communication was excellent from beginning to end, and throughout the trip, they were attentive to detail and ready to resolve any unforeseen issues. Uganda is a beautiful country with so much to offer, incredibly warm people, and places that seem like a dream. I definitely recommend Uganda and Wild Uganda for exploring this amazing country! Thanks for everything.

Unforgettable trip
5/5

We spent 10 days with Wild Uganda. Our guide, Brian, was incredibly kind and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed and ensuring our stay in Uganda was unforgettable. For example, we didn't see any chimpanzees on our first trek. Brian was the only guide who arranged for us to do it again the next day, at no extra cost, and this time we had the chance to see them. We also wanted to experience the local culture, and he did just that. We had a tailor-made trip and even got to visit a school. It was the best trip of my life, and I highly recommend Wild Uganda to anyone who wants to discover this wonderful country. All I hope is to return someday and that our paths cross again, because I will never forget this amazing experience.

Wild Uganda delivers outstanding safari experiences in Uganda with excellent communication and carin
5/5

Here is a polished review you can use:



We had an absolutely incredible safari experience in Uganda with Wild Uganda. From the very beginning, the communication with the company was excellent. They were responsive, clear, and helpful with every question we had, which made planning the trip smooth and stress-free.

Our driver, Gavis, was truly outstanding. He was professional, kind, and extremely caring throughout the entire journey. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. His knowledge and positive attitude added so much to the trip.

Everything about the safari was very well organized, and we loved every moment of it. The wildlife, the landscapes, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations.

We highly recommend Wild Uganda — and especially Gavis — to anyone planning a safari in Uganda. It was an unforgettable adventure!

Fantastic experience
5/5

We just spent 3 days with Wild Uganda. Our family of 3 traveled from Kigali, Rwanda to Bwindi, Uganda. Our driver, Samuel, provided a very professional and safe trip. He assisted with crossing the border and any other needs we had. The gorilla trekking in Uganda was amazing. Communication with the guide and company was excellent. We would definitely travel with Wild Uganda again.

Wild Uganda provided me a tailored made experience of a lifetime !
5/5

From the beginning until the very end, Wild Uganda’s service, flexibility and helpfulness was pivotal in my amazing experience of Uganda as a country and it’s wildlife. The whole experience was upgraded by being guided by Kasim ! Kasim was kind, knowledgeable and was more like traveling with a really good friend from day 1 !

An unforgettable journey and an experience we will carry with us for a lifetime
5/5

We would like to sincerely thank the entire Wild Uganda team for an exceptional safari experience in Uganda. From the very beginning, communication was outstanding — they carefully listened to every request and perfectly customized our itinerary, allowing us to enjoy a variety of unique and authentic experiences.

We initially traveled to Uganda for the gorillas, but we discovered so much more: a diverse and breathtaking country that truly exceeded all our expectations. It was an unforgettable journey and an experience we will carry with us for a lifetime.

A special thank you goes to Linus, our driver and guide, who was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible during the safaris — including lions — and always knew where to stop safely for the best views and experiences. His knowledge, kindness, and dedication made a huge difference.

We also truly appreciated the attention to detail throughout the trip. The restaurants, rest stops, bathrooms, and accommodations were all very clean and well chosen, which made us feel comfortable and well taken care of at all times.

This is an experience we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone considering a safari in Uganda. Thank you for turning our dream trip into reality.

Very professional, organised, and patient.
5/5

Naturally when booking directly from the UK with an Ugandan company that we'd found on the internet, there is an air of nervousness. However, Ernest 'the fixer' could not have been any more reassuring, patient and helpful to tweak our trip to keep meeting our endless list of questions and demands. He was never pushy and happy to send tourism registration certificates and any other info we asked for. His responses to our very many questions were extremely prompt, whatever the time of day or night. The 10 day Rwanda Uganda exploration trip was wonderfully put together and, we thought exceptional value for money, as it included all food, all park entries, boat trips and trekking permits, not to mention a private Toyato Landcriuser and our superb driver/guide Kasim. We did however add an extra night at the start to refresh from out overnight flights from London and an extra night at the end to recover, which we would thoroughly advise. The last day is quite a rush to do the Volcanoes trek, genocide museum and then make it to the airport. Again Ernest came up trumps with recommendations, which we actually booked directly ourselves - M Hotel Kigali on the way back, which was a great high standard hotel at just $85 BnB. As for the trip itself, Kasim could not have been more professional, patient, with superb English, and a great sense of humour too. His knowledge of animals, birds (including calls), plants, local culture, food was just amazing. He was extremely flexible and seemed to have endless energy to make our holiday as great an experience a he could possibly achieve. He truly was a lovely chap. Uganda is an amazing country, with stunning wildlife and lots of close up experiences, notably the Rhino and especially the Gorillas. I have travelled quite a lot and also a fair amount in Africa, and I must admit I have not felt safer anywhere else in Africa, than I did in Uganda and Rwanda. We went mid range and the accommodation, which ranged from very nice to stunning. All had extremely large, very comfy beds with sturdy mozzy nets, except at altitude where they weren't needed (not that we really had an issue with seeing any mozzzys). Just to note we never had any air con, but quite frankly it cooled off quite nicely at night and wasn't really required. I am very pleased we could support the Ugandan tourist industry and especially Wild Uganda and can't recommend them enough.
