Very customer oriented and easy to make your own itinerary
I was in Kampala for work and had some days left to see Uganda. My major goal was to include a chimpanzee tracking. Not knowing where to go, I searched on Safari Bookings. A lot of (expensive) options, but I found a budget travel option at Cul and Tours. I went to their office and thought I would be added to another group of people, doing the same trip. But for that period there were no other clients for the places I wanted to see and Steven, the owner, said he still had time to take me to those places. We went through the programme and I still could make a choice between a budget trip or an upgraded budget trip, from ordinary tents to the more luxury tents.
It was good company with Steven and the two of us chatted about all kind of things. He saw all the animals along the way in the parks which I never would have seen without his guidance. He also knew a lot about all animals and birds (and kept on studying when he didn't have to drive.)
I can recommend Cul Tours and Safaris, also for those who are travelling alone.

Excellent service, secure driver and great places to stay
This was the 5th time we used Cul Tours and Safaris and the service level was as usual great. The drivers are always good and you feel secure driving with them and then the company always knows about very good places to stay. The overall experience was great and recommendable.

Why choose Cul Tours and Safaris??
BECAUSE……. You will get a very nice experience.
To choose Cul Tours Safaris you will get the best trip ever.
This company made a very nice trip for me and my family. The drivers know everything about Uganda, and that makes the whole trip special.
We went for some local dance in a small village, visit the craft markets, saw a fishing village, went for the safaris and visit an orphanage and everything was wonderful to see. Next time we are going to visit Uganda we will use Cul Tours and Safaris again.
A special thanks to our driver, Stephen.

Locally owned but it is a great and reliable company.
I have Just returned from a fantastic trip again with Cul Tours and Safaris. It is the ninth time in the last five years we use Stevens company to get around in Uganda. This time we visited many craft groups and on the way back to Kampala we made a shortcut through Murchison Falls National Park and were lucky to get a glimpse of a leopard. We can only recommend using Stephen and Cul Tours and Safaris as organizers, whether you plan your trip yourselves or let him do it. You can rely 100% on him. We come back later this year and certainly next year.

An unforgettable adventure - with the best tourguide I have ever encountered!
If you are planning a trip to Africa, you must visit beautiful Uganda - "the pearl of Africa".
And if you simultaneously are looking for an amazing trip, with loads of experiences of both the local and cultural Uganda you should choose to travel with Cul Tours and Safari!
I visited Uganda from the 9th of April to the 1th May 2014, and I have completely lost my heart to this beautiful country and it's wonderful hospital people.
Being a member of a group of six people, I had an unforgettable tour which included three days of Safari, dancing in a little village, chimpanzee trekking, visit at Murchison Falls, a tour at the kings tombs in Kampala and a much much more.
I have tasted the best food together with local people, slept at the most amazing hotels, talked to all kinds of people in different ages, and have had an amazing time - all thanks to Cul Tours and Safari, without them it would not have been possible!
Throughout the whole trip we all felt welcomed and taken cared of by our tour guide Stephen Bukoma who became a very dear friend. Cul Tours and Safari planned the whole tour after our wished and by their knowledge about Uganda.
When you choose Cul Tours and Safari, you can be sure that you will get a tour operator, who wants to give you the best experiences, as well as good company and a guide who knows Uganda by heart.
I will definitely recommend you to choose Cul Tours and Safaris, I can not emphasize the company enough and I have also recommended them to friends, family, and work relations in Denmark.
There is no doubt in my mind, I will come back to Uganda again and I will definitely go with Cul Tours and Safaris.

To go with Cul Tours and Stephen you get an exceptionel experience and unique view of Uganda
You can choose many different Safari companies to take you round in Uganda to explore the wild life, and that will all give you good experience.
But going with Cul Tours - you get Stephen as guide and driver, and that makes a difference. He is unique: He drives safe and responsible, he is friendly and open minded, he sees the animals before anyone else - from the lions in the bush to the cameleon, crossing the road. He knows the Parcs, the animals and the secrets.
But what is even better he combines the safaries and gamedrive with the culture and rural life of Uganda. He knows people everywhere: He stops where you dont expect it and suddenly you are in middle of a local dance, he finds the source of the craft, where things are made, He finds the small markets, where turists seldom go etc.
He's culture trips you dont find by any other Safari providers.
Thank you Stephen and Cul Tours for an extraordinary trip

A Unique Experience in Uganda
It has been two weeks in Uganda with one highlight after another. First of all the meeting with the Ugandan people is beyond description, they are friendly and curious about you, and you are treated as a welcome guest, not as a tourist. A culture very different from the one we know in Denmark, but one, which it has been a privilege to encounter. Secondly the nature is breathtakingly beautiful, green, lush and fertile. There is also a rich wildlife, so if you are looking for safari experience you will not be disappointed - we will remember our trip into the midst of a group of chimpanzees with awe for the rest of our lives. Last, but not least we had a local guide and driver, very knowledgeable, seviceminded, and a very good addition to our group, who gave us a great insight into Ugandan everyday life and culture.

Stephen is the best guide one can ask for!
On my first trip to Uganda, now almost 8 years ago, i met Stephen who was at that time an employee at Matoke Tours. Stephen had been a driver in Uganda for a while but this was his first trip for an international (dutch in fact) group. Right from the start my friend and i was suprised by his eagerness to learn: he was soaking up all kind of information he could in order to provide the tourist with information in the future. He was interested in our culture, how we saw the world, studied all folders in hotels and parks, learned quickly about different bird species, etc. His willingness to learn was astonishing and soon enough we found out Stephen was a very intelligent person. Not only that, he also has a fantastic personality: he is very honoust, social and fun to be with! One feels comfortable being around him. He is always happy to help, answer questions, tell about his country but also knows instinctly when it is the right time to be quite and just enjoy what we see around us.
With his intelligence, eagerness to learn and pleasant and trustworthy caracter it was obvious that Stephen had great potential in the tourist industry!
He took several courses on tourism and wildlife and by the time i returned to Uganda almost one year later he had grown from not only being driver to also guiding private tours.
A few years later i was happy to meet Stephen again in Belgium where he was promoting tourism in Uganda. I was so proud of him being there. I knew he had the potential to make it in the tourism industry but apart from the potential one needs the right attitude to get where you want to be.
Stephen has the right attitude: he is a hard worker, will do everything to make his clients happy, he is flexible and listens well to his clients wishes. By now he is very experienced in tourism, knows what clients want and probably one of the most important things: you can trust him! If Stephen makes a promise to you, you can be sure he will make it happen.
I am very happy that Stephen has started his own travel agency Cul Tours! It is without any doubt that i recommend anyway to go and travel with him! Cul Tours will make your holiday in Uganda an unforgettable one where you will see and encounter more than "just" the highlight. You will get the chance to taste the real Uganda, like i did.
