Well organized tour, good accommodation booked, amazing experiences with both Gorillas and Chimps!
4/5

This was a great, well organized safari. Eszra was very responsive to our inquiries. Our guide shared lots of information on the country, local customs etc. The accommodation provided was very good. The food was good at all the lodges - basic, but you have to keep in mind this is Uganda. We had amazing experiences in both Bwindi Impenetrable and Kibale National Parks. In Bwindi we had 2 gorilla permits - one for the north and one for the south. The troop we went to see in the South was definitely less habituated than the one we saw in the North; but still a great experience. The hiking to see the gorillas can be quite rugged with steep ups and downs and I would recommend that if you have ANY mobility issues that you hire one of the local porters to help you out. We were very fortunate to have very close encounters with the Chimps in Kibale. Uganda is a beautiful country but it does take a long time to drive in-between places as the road infrastructure is not that great. Give yourself plenty of time to explore the country.

Eddie and his team are outstanding individuals.....
5/5

‘Wonderful trip and excellent handling’Right from my first enquiry, communications with Uzuri Uganda were excellent. Prompt replies, full and clear information given on all aspects of the trip from theircomprehensive knowledge of Uganda, to useful information concerning health, money and security. The itinerary planned for me was well thought out, taking intoconsideration my requests, with attention to detail. I was greeted at Entebbe airportand from there I knew that I was going to be in safe hands with Ronnie, who was my driver/guide for 9 days. As for the safari tour itself, this was outstanding and most definitely lived up to my expectations. Travel was in a comfortable land-cruiser, accommodation was great, the guides very knowledgeable about the country and wildlife. The safari began with a drive to Murchison Falls via Zziwa rhino sanctuary. I was happy to give to the Uganda Rhino Fund who are doing a wonderful job to nurture rhinos that were wiped out in the Uganda national parks before planned re-introduction in the future. The falls at Murchison are a spectacular sight. We continued to Kibale to see chimpanzees, encountered the treeclimbing lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park on the way to Bwindi for the gorillas. Nothing prepares you for the encounter with the gorillas! We found the gorilla family we tracked in a clearing which allowed us to really view and photograph the gorillas until the one hour was up. But of course the hour was up before we knew it. A baby gorilla came close and touched me and I will never forget this! The food and service at each of the places that Edris chose for me to stay was top notch. As well as the great enjoyment of the trip, I felt relaxed because of the personal service offered by this company. Nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend them and intend to return with my whole family – again with Uzuri safaris.

We are really happy with Uzuri Safari!!!! Thanks for making our trip the best of our life.

An amazing 7 days to see Gorillas and chimps in Uganda
5/5

We were unsure what to expect from Uganda – having arrived from Kenya where we visited the Masai Mara, which was a lot of fun! However, the 7-day safari Uzuri Uganda Safaris ably arranged for me and my wife far exceeded our expectations. Uzuri Uganda delivered a fantastic itinerary which combined gorillas and chimpanzees in Bwindi and Kibale. The accommodations were fantastic even on a mid-level budget and the Land-cruiser was comfortable, clean and had AC. From the moment I stepped off the plane in Uganda where the driver was already waiting for us to my departing flight, I was treated as a priority with this company and could not have asked for a more well organized and meticulously planned out adventure that included everything I requested at reasonable price. Our driver Joachim is an expert driver, was always on time, gave us good advice and he spoke excellent English. He made us feel comfortable and he was a good conversationalist during the long drives! My personal advice to any prospective Uganda visitor would be not to waste time, just contact Uzuri Uganda Safaris and Edris and his team will custom- build the best itinerary according to your needs.

Unique and life changing trip definitely above expectations !
5/5

From the very start communicating with Edris via email was easy and reliable. He answered promptly and was very professional, a real testament to the quality of the service at Uzuri Uganda Safaris. We received a detailed itinerary of our trip.
We had very little time, only one week, but the tour was diverse and packed with great activities (game drive, chimpanzee trekking and rafting among others) that made it a lot of fun.
Starting in Kampala we stayed 2 days in Jinja and then headed Murchisson Falls for 3 days. Short but definitely worthwhile thanks to Edris' skillful planning. The choice of lodges was great and the food (all included) was absolutely delicious ! We particularly enjoyed Murchisson River Lodge. In short, everything was perfectly organized, comfortable and very safe.
Our guide Vincent was fantastic, always attentive and a lot of fun, he made sure our trip was memorable !
I definitely recommend Uzuri Uganda Safaris. They made our first experience in Uganda amazing... We will be back !

Everything was totally perfect and well-prepared. The guide, called Vincent, picked us up at the hostel. He is amazing, really funny and he is really good at his job.
The tour was even above our expectations. We were not disappointed.
People that we met were nice and friendly, the choice of hotels was great, the car was great and the food was awesome.

Thank you for this amazing trip.

I will definitely recommend your company.

Everything about our Ugandan trip was well planned, coordinated, and executed by Uzuri Safaris!
5/5

The timeliness of our responses from Edris were perfect. Everything was covered an inclusive including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Our travel to and from each location from the Airport to our trips tracking animals and the Safari were all taken care of prior to us ever landing in country. The ease of transition from one location to the next allowed for my travel partner and I to thoroughly relax and enjoy our week long vacation. Our tour guide was name Joachim and I recommend him to anyone that plans to utilize Uzuri Uganda Safaris for their future travel plans. Amazing trip, excellent food, safe, fun, and friendly environment and culture as a whole.

Fantastic experience and tour operator - everything you want from a tour in Uganda! Loved it!
5/5

From the start the communication was always excellent: quick responses with clear answers. It was exceptionally easy to plan with Edris via email, who never failed to answer every inquiry completely. We outlined what we wanted, which was to have everything planned and taken care of and paid for in advance (lodging, food, transportation, activities) and we were not disappointed! The lodging at all hotels was great. My favorite was the cabin that opened up on the Nile in Murchison Falls National Park - I will never forget the playful vervet monkeys on the tree outside and the hippos just steps away in the Nile. Amazing! The tours were incredible - we saw rhinos, chimpanzees, baboons, monkeys, hippos, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, antelope, warthogs, many birds, and even a leopard. The game drive was a moving feast for the eyes and by far my favorite day. The activities were filled with everything you'd want: ATVs, river cruises, tracking in the forest, hiking to the top of a waterfall, and shopping for souvenirs. What a wonderful experience, I was sad to leave and look forward to returning in the future!
