Amazing adventure in uganda
5/5

Bella organized a great 12-days safari to Murchinson Falls, Kidepo Valley, Pian Upe and Sipi Falls for me. During the booking process she was very responsive and made sure I had everything that is needed.
After the tour started she adapted the itinerary perfectly to fit my preferences, so that I got more unforgettable nature walks and views.
I liked her chosen accomodations and enjoyed every activity.
Although there were some long travel days(with often terrible roads) and I did not get to see every animal I hoped for, Bella made sure that this trip was a wonderful experience!

Hello travellers,

I have travelled 16 days in Uganda, with Bella as my tour guide. Bella now what you want and how to show it. If you want something just ask, she take care of it or... she has already done it. If you want a good organized trip with a African feeling Bella is your guide.

Unforgettable trip to Murchison Falls National Park
5/5

From the beginning on, we were very excited about the 3-day Safari Tour, even though we didn´t really know what to expect. But from the first game drive on, all our expectations were excelled. The trip was well organized and included a great mix of various activities like game drives, boat safari and hike to the top of the Murchison Falls. While booking our Safari the communication with Bella Africa Safari team was very friendly and our wishes and interest were taken into account. We experienced the guide and the whole organization as very reliable for example that they picked us up at the time agreed on (what can´t always be guaranteed in Uganda =D). The accommodation in the Red Chilli Rest Camp met our expectations completely and was greatly chosen.
The whole trip gave us a good chance to experience the beauty and variety of Uganda as a country. We saw many animals from close up like giraffes, lions, elephants, Uganda kobs, buffalos and monkeys. We will never forget our Safari Tour.

Unforgettable adventure with Bella Africa safaris
5/5

We truly had an amazing time in Uganda. Our guide Bella showed us only the best of what the country has to offer, in true 'Hakuna Matata' style. From the thriving wildlife we got to see giraffe, elephants, lions, rhino's, zebra's, hippo's, crocodiles,.., to the impressive nature sights and intriguing village culture. The best way to discover the beauty of Africa, away from the mass touristic beaten path and traps. Uganda is called 'the Pearl of Africa' for it really IS a hidden gem!

My personal highlight was our encounter with the mountain gorilla's. Our hiking trip in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was breathtaking. Stumbling upon a gorilla nest an getting the chance to witness 2 blackbacks courting a female gorilla with her baby up in a tree bush was nothing less than magical. We were even lucky enough to stand just merely 2 meters away from the head honcho of the pack, the infamous silverback gorilla, who gloriously presented himself. Goosebumps all the way! The permit may be quite expensive, but take my word, it's worth every penny!

Everything was taken care of by Bella. She was always punctual, very friendly and concerned about our needs. Above all that she treated us like friends every step of the way, be it during travelling by jeep, boat or on foot. I would highly recommend Bella Africa's services. The rates are more than reasonable and you get to explore the country with somebody's who's skilled and truly passionate about the country, its nature and culture.

Highly recommended!

Amazing Tour with Bella Safari Africa
5/5

We had an 8-day trip (Bwindi, QEP, Kibale, Lake Mburo). The trip was perfectly organized and our Guide Bella - she is also the owner of the company - made the whole trip to an unforgettable and amazing experience. Bella worked for a huge Safari company for years and started her own business last year.

Even though some drives were long (we wanted to see as many things as possible in 8 days), they didnt feel that long, because Bella told us all about the History and the Culture of this beautiful Country. Since Bella is the only female Guide in Uganda, everyone in the safari business knows her, wich makes travelling with her a lot of fun.

Uganda itself has so many different landscapes, so its hard to choose a favourite, but of course, seeing the gorillas in Bwindi is something you wont forget your whole life. Bella will send you a List of things you will need for the Gorilla tracking after you confirm the booking and be advised to take all this stuff with you, because you will go through some serious Ugandan Jungle.

If you want to taste some traditional Ugandan food, tell Bella, she knows some really great Places. Rolex and Matoke are delicious!

The next time I go to Uganda - and there will be a next time - i most definately go with Bella Safari Africa again. I can only recommend this company to anyone, who want´s to experience Uganda in all its amazing parts an details.

Amazing safari full of surprises
5/5

A friend recommanded Bella as a tour operator and I am really glad she did. Together with Bella we arranged a beautiful safari and we had a lot to bring in. She constantly tried to make the trip perfect for us. She did not always stick to the plan, but made sure we got the most out of our trip. Because my dad has a dairy farm, she even took us to an Ugandan milk factory. With amazing accomodations and unbelievable views. We got to see the whole big 5 in those 6 days. It was the best week out of my life. Greetings, a daugther together with her dad.

The best safari experience ever!
5/5

I spent just a great time in Africa last March! It was also because of Bella's trip! That was my first safari experience! And I enjoy it a lot! Definetly, 5-days Safari is not enough for Uganda! Because it's a beautiful place to visit! However, I really like even those short days! We have seen as much as possible!
Bella herself is such a nice person! Everybody welcomes her wherever we go! Amazing! I felt safety! That is an important thing in Africa!
This company is the best one to contact with in Uganda!
Hopefully, I see you soon when I get back to this wonderful country!

Thank you!
