Bruce the superstar
I couldn’t recommend this experience highly enough. The entire 3-day trip was incredibly well organised from start to finish, and everything ran smoothly throughout.
A massive special mention has to go to my guide, Bruce. He was absolutely unbelievable and genuinely went above and beyond to make the trip as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him, and he even went out of his way to help me with things that were well outside what I would have expected from a guide.
Bruce’s knowledge of Uganda, the wildlife, local culture and the gorilla trekking experience was first class. He was always happy to answer questions, explain what we were seeing and share his knowledge along the way. On top of that, he was incredibly friendly, professional and great company for the entire three days.
The gorilla trek itself was an unforgettable experience, but having Bruce as our guide made the whole trip even better. He is an absolute credit to the company and I couldn’t speak more highly of him.
If you’re considering booking a gorilla trekking trip, I would 100% recommend this company — and if you get the chance to have Bruce as your guide, you’re in very good hand's. Thanks again Bruce for an amazing few

An incredible experience where we felt cared for and supported by great experts.
It has been a great trip. Víctor, the guide, was very professional and friendly, and Frank, the driver, was also very professional. The tour of Uganda was truly wonderful, thanks to Innocent and our guide and driver. Well-organized visits and fabulous accommodations. Highly recommended.

Fabulous company that made once in a lifetime experience special
We arranged our trip only two months in advance. We dealt with Innocence who was quick to respond and took us through all that was needed especially visas. On arrival we we collected from the hotel by Frank who remained with us for 3 days. The accommodation we stayed in exceeded our expectations and service was fantastic. The experience of staying an hour with gorillas was worth the sometimes arduous trek. The lay day was spent with an informative tour of the lake. Before being dropped back to the hotel
Frank went out of his way to take us to a restaurant to sample real Rwandan food. A brilliant 3 days, innocent was easy to communicate with and Frank’s company for 3 days was a joy. Would recommend.

Incredible Adventure from start to finish
We had an incredible 12-day safari with Bushcraft in June 2026 exploring the highlights of Uganda. The itinerary they provided was our favorite from those offered by several providers and Innocent was extremely responsive and flexible in tailoring the itinerary exactly to our needs. Allan was an amazing guide; knowledgeable, flexible, professional and a truly lovely, friendly and genuine person. We enjoyed every moment of our safari start to finish. We saw all of the Big 5 and had an amazing time gorilla, chimp and golden monkey tracking. Allan did an excellent job of providing the exact kind of viewing opportunities we enjoyed; allowing us to take plenty of time observing the animals and taking photos. We loved the cultural experiences and the flow of the intinerary in general. We will definitely use Bushcraft in the future for any other East African trips! It was our first safari but based on how amazing our trip was it won’t be our last!

Once in a life time!
Frank was an exceptional tour guide. He knew all the answers to our million questions about both Uganada and Rwanda, he was flexible and efficient in managing our tour and giving us the most of our time and every experience. He delivered on all the small asks and local moments that made the trip extra special. He is a great driver that made us feel safe in all driving situations (safari, truck traffic, rough roads, mountains) which gave us all signficant confidence and comfort throughout the trip. Frank was also always friendly and kind in conversation at meals and in the car.
Overall we loved everything about our experience and would recommend Bush Craft and Franklin the guide to all friends and family who are looking for a once in a lifetime holiday.

Reliable, trust worthy, fun, kind, knowledgeable - I could go on forever!
Such an incredible experience, I could not recommend this tour more. Great communication from the team from the start and so well organised. Our tour guide Frank was amazing, he was so knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable. We did a lot of tough driving but I always felt safe with him. I’d do this again tomorrow if I could!

Brilliant safari experience!
Bushcraft Safaris provided an incredible 7-day safari experience for us, covering Volcanoes National Park, Bwindi National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Kibale National Park. The Gorilla and Chimpanzee trekking were unforgettable and a real highlight of the trip for us.
Our guide Frank was professional throughout, and accommodated our requests to stop off at various viewpoints along the drive to break the journey up. Frank was knowledgeable about the wildlife and endeavoured to make sure we had the best views possible of the animals when driving around the national parks. He was a safe driver and made us feel comfortable throughout.
The accommodation was excellent, with Bweza Gorilla lodge and Bweza Kibale lodge being particularly idyllic. The staff were all extremely attentive and the 3-course meals were delicious!
Overall, we were very happy with our tour and would definitely recommend Bushcraft Safaris!

Professional, responsive, and dedicated to creating an unforgettable Uganda adventure.
My wife and I had an incredible 10-day experience in Uganda with Bush Craft Safaris. From the wildlife and chimpanzee trekking to the unforgettable gorilla trek in Bwindi, every part of the trip was amazing.
Our guide, Allan, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, professional, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure we had the best possible experience. He was a fantastic driver and guide, and his knowledge of Uganda’s wildlife, history, and culture added so much to our trip. After 10 days together, he felt more like a friend than a guide!
Bush Craft was also very responsive and accommodating in customizing the trip to our preferences.
We absolutely recommend Bush Craft Safaris, and if you can request a guide, ask for Allan. He helped make our Uganda adventure truly unforgettable. We would happily travel with them again!

Allan was fantastic; we love that guy.
We cannot recommend Bush Craft Safaris highly enough. This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and somehow, it exceeded every expectation we had.
We saw an absolutely incredible amount of wildlife and experienced things we had only dreamed about. We know how lucky we were with everything we got to see, but Bush Craft Safaris made the entire experience feel effortless.
Every place we stayed was wonderful, the food was consistently amazing, and the itinerary was fantastic. We genuinely wouldn't change a single thing about our trip.
And then there was Allan.
Allan was far more than our safari guide. He became our friend, our wildlife encyclopedia, our navigator, our problem-solver, and, by the end of the trip, basically family. His knowledge of Uganda and its wildlife was incredible, but what really made him special was his warmth, patience, humor, and genuine care for us throughout the entire trip. He somehow always knew where to be, what to look for, and how to make every experience even more memorable.
By the end, we were pretty sure we would have followed this man into the bush without asking questions. We would absolutely fight a hippo for Allan.
This trip was everything we hoped it would be and so much more. If you're considering a safari in Uganda, book with Bush Craft Safaris. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Allan.
