Abantubo Safari made sure to give excellent service and great experience.
I did the 3 days gorilla trek.
Everything from the booking to the trip itself was a pleasure. I don’t have anything bad to say about the experience.
A special thanks to my guide Samuel who made the trip so enjoyable. I was so glad to receive so much info about the local culture, food and nature.
I can highly recommend Abantubo safari.

Amazing tour company
The tour was very well organized. My guide, Jimmy, was the best possible guide: super friendly, always punctual, a good driver, excellent at spotting animals, and very accommodating. I was pleasantly surprised to have better accommodation than expected, and the lodge we chose was beautiful and extremely comfortable. I 100% recommend this agency; the value for money is absolutely unbeatable.

The Best company to discover Uganda!
Excellent company that made my solo trip to Uganda an unforgetable experience!! I loved everything about Abantubo Safaris: from the first moment there was fluid communication, excellent information and service. Everything was just perfect: from the pick up to the end of the trip. My guide and driver Allanie was excellent company and a great professional during the 7 days of the safari. I chose them for the good value for money compared to other companies. They delivered what they promised, and more.
On my last day, I had a wonderful time with my female guide Massy 😊 As a seasoned traveller, I give Abantubo my warmest recommendation ❤️ Keep up the good work!

An Incredible Experience Worth Every Penny
I chose this company to go gorilla trekking, and I could not be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, my guide was very nice and helpful. Even though I was traveling solo, it never felt like I was truly alone because I could count on my guide. I booked the gorilla trekking experience very last minute, and the company was able to accommodate me and more. I was brought to an amazing lodge with a beautiful view, and it felt like everything was very well taken care of. I hope and pray that one day I will be able to return to East Africa and take many more trips with this company. I cannot recommend this company enough!

They maybe best company in Uganda
First of all, I want to mention that I had written an earlier review about my Uganda trip with them. That was excellent.
Before visiting East Africa, I also arranged my Rwanda trip with them since their communication was giving me a very credible and overall positive impression through speaking on planning Uganda.
I asked Nickson about my plan (what I would want to do) in Rwanda and he arranged an itinerary according to it with a nice price. Even tough their price offer looked more affordable; it exceeded my expectation in terms of guiding, planning and timing.
I did a short trek in lake kivu, visited a coffee farm and climbed mt bisoke in 2 days. All experiences were very unique and valuable for me thanks to my guide and driver Adams. He is so friendly and tries his best to make you pleased and comfortable with his knowledge about Rwanda.
I am so happy to include a Rwanda trip into my east Africa and Abantubo and Adams made it very smooth and professional. I loved to see Rwanda too and recommend the same trip to people who are interested in.
Shortly they truly excel in communication, swift conflict resolution, and hospitality. They consistently go above and beyond to make you feel safe and comfortable, delivering a well-structured and highly punctual itinerary with a warm, friendly attitude

My tour operator was very professional and always available to answer my questions
I was researching a tour company to go gorilla trekking and stumbled upon Abantubo…initially I was hesitant to contact the company or even send my deposit for gorilla trekking as one can get quite wary of foreign agencies. But the staff working in Abantubo were always available to answer all my questions and kind and respectful. Their itineraries are very detailed and provided me with the reassurance that I had chosen the best tour company in Uganda! The price worked well for me and their services far exceeded my expectations! I hope to travel more with them and have referred them to all my friends.

they are so professional and trustworthy
I wanted to do a trip in Uganda starting on May 10 and one of their itineraries fit me perfect in terms of program and price. It was including gorilla and chimpanzee tracks. Their communication started so detailed and smooth and at first I was suspicious if they are scam or not and also did some cross checks and reviewed google. All say it is a credible and nice company. To summarize my safari, everything (no exaggeration!) went so professional and exceeded my expectations. As it is off season, in west and south part of uganda there were a few tourists and it made me feel like a queen. Ugandan people, our dear guide Lorand and Bill God were so kind and real professionals. I travel a lot but it was my first experience to see such. Nickson arranged accommodation beyond our expectations. They were kinda luxurious:) when it combines few tourists in the region and calm and sweet ugandan people, everything went only amazing. Uganda became my favorite country. I will miss there and people!!

An amazing 12-Day trip with Abantubo Safaris in Uganda!
From the very beginning, the communication was excellent. Nickson was always quick to respond and very helpful throughout the planning process. Even until the very last moment — and during the trip itself — the team did everything possible to make the experience even better. For example, with last-minute accommodation changes and my driver even arranged an impromptu game drive after hearing news about a leopard family sighting, which turned into a truly unforgettable experience.
So a special thank you to my guide and driver, Allanie, who was incredibly knowledgeable and had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, I saw so many animals and learned a lot along the way.
Overall, it was a fantastic trip and a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommended!

I had a fantastic seven day trip with Deus from Abantubo
I did a seven day trip with Deus from Abantubo. He was a fantastic guide with great knowledge about all the animals, birds and plants as well as the culture and history of Uganda. Next to this, he was always very happy to assist me and answer all the questions. All together, he was a great company for the trip! The accomodations were also very good with some lodges offering fantastic views next to the big rooms with very comfortable beds and hot showers. Every day was very different which made all the days special and unique. We did walking safaris, biking safari, boat trips and of course the chimp and gorilla trekking. All together it was an amazing experience which I would definitely recommend!
Abantubo are everything one needs in a operator, professional, dynamic to changes and efficient.
I moved my Gorilla trekking plans up by two weeks at the last moment due to work delays, within 24 hours the Abantubo team had everything changed and secured and I was supposed to be on a plane until Rwanda Air cancelled my flight, bumped me to next flight, 11 hours later. Abantubo team got it all sorted before I landed. Tour ran like clockwork under the watchful eye of my guide Adams. Always in communication- main reason I originally chose Abantubo was the efficiency of feedback and eagerness to get back to me with requests at a very affordable costing. Tour included 4 borders, 3 hotels, 4 hikes, 4 meetings with Gorilla families (we were rather fortunate I believe) Golden Monkeys on our doorstep, Dian Fossey Research Centre hike and the Genocide museum. Whirlwind trip over 6 days but all ran super smoothly.cannot recommend Abantubo enough.
