Fantastic 2 weeks thanks to Lifetime Experience Safaris!
Lifetime Experience Safaris is superb! Jesse is very responsive via e-mail and Whatsapp, very patience with all the millions questions we made and always came up with great suggestions for our itinerary.
When we were evaluating other operators we decided for Lifetime Experience Safaris because we could see how experience and knowledgeable Jesse was and we fully trusted that he would create the best plan for us :) (AND HE DID!!)
We booked an 11-day customised safari around Uganda and Sula was our driver!
There are no words to describe how important Sula was to turn this experience into something unforgettable. He is incredibly professional, an excellent driver that makes all those long drives and (sometimes) in rough roads feel super smooth. He is also genuinely a really good guy, very funny to hang out with and knows everyone and everyone knows Sula! In every park we visited he always got a park ranger to join us and that made such a big difference to our experience: we could spot all the animals and learn everything about them!
We visited Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison Falls Park, Queen Elizabeth Park, Kibale Park, Bwindi Park and Lake Mburo. We enjoyed all of them and each contributed with something special to our trip!
In planning any safari it is difficult to know who to trust. Lifetime Experience Safaris delivers. They will do their best to live up to their name. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Absolutely Wonderful!
My wife and I just finished a 17-day Uganda safari and we couldn't be happier with how it went. The organizer, Jesse-Tom was quick to respond to our questions and always able to accommodate our requests for alterations and additions to our itinerary. We did a mid-range private safari and found the accommodations and food to be wonderful at every place we went. Our driver/guide Gerald was incredibly knowledgeable and great at spotting wildlife. With Gerald's help, we saw plenty of lions, giraffes, leopards, elephants, exotic birds, and other wildlife. We did game drives, boat trips on the Nile, night safaris, and walking safaris. One of the things that made Uganda a great choice was that most of our wildlife encounters occurred without any other vehicles around, making the experience very intimate. Of course one of the best things about visiting Uganda is the opportunity to see a wide variety of primates. On our trip, we had close encounters with gorillas, chimpanzees, and golden monkeys! It should also be mentioned that the varied landscapes and people of Uganda are also fascinating and beautiful.
If you are considering a trip to East Africa to see wildlife, I would definitely encourage you to consider Uganda as your destination of choice, and Lifetime Experience Safaris as the company to go with for a wonderful, personalized experience.

fantastic safari experience with Lifetime
I had a 7-day safari with Lifetime. And it was really fantastic. I have been to Africa for safari a few times, but still can get tons of new experiences this time.
I'm a solo traveler and Lifetime managed to arrange everything great for me. My driver/guide Sula is wonderful too.

A truly lifetime experience
We spent part of our honeymoon in Uganda, where our trip was organized by Lifetime Experience Safaris. I contacted Jesse a few months before and he was super helpful all the way through the actual safari. He organized our trip which included seeing the gorillas in Bwindi as well as a short safari at Queen Elizabeth Park. He also arranged for our COVID test and was reachable any time before and during our trip. The lodges that were chosen by Jesse were super nice and Gerald, our driver, was simply amazing! On the top of being a good driver, he also knows a lot about Uganda and really made our trip even more enjoyable.
Seeing the gorillas was such an unforgettable experience! Everything was arranged for us, permits, guides etc. The rest of the trip was also very nice, in Queen Elizabeth we were sleeping in a lodge just next to hippos :) and people in Uganda are so nice and welcoming! I can only recommend Lifetime Experience Safari and would really encourage you to use their services for your trip to Uganda!

If we return (hopefully) it will be with a lifetime
Uganda with lifetime Safari and Sula
We had planned the trip for 2020, but with the catastrophic pandemic we had to postpone it to 2021 so we could continue saving to extend from 3 days, which was the initial plan, to 7 days. I have to say that 7 days are still few for this spectacular country. It should also be noted that we had read that the roads were very bad, but the main roads have been improved for a year and a half, so they are very bearable.
First of all, comment that with lifetime Safari the organization was all very simple and fast. Unbeatable value for money. Thank you very much Jesse! If Jesse is the engine that runs lifetime, the heart is Sula, our friend and guide. You just have to see how they receive you when you arrive at the destinations and recognize you, the workers in the accommodation light up their faces when they see you. Sula strives at all times for you to enjoy 120% of the trip, he does not stop until he finds the animals for you to see, with those binoculars that he has for eyes. He is a great driver, he makes you feel at home, safe at all times, it's like traveling with a friend. As everyone who knows him has told us he is a goodman. Part of our heart stays in Uganda and with Sula. We hope to be able to return and without a doubt make the trip again with Sula by our side. An experience that you cannot stop doing at least once in your life.

Lifetime Experience Safaris lives up to its name!
Lifetime Experience Safaris is superb. Jesse-Tom is great to deal with by e-mail in the planning stage. He answers promptly and thoroughly. He offers genuine advice in tailoring your safari.
Sula is an excellent driver,guide, and friend, who covered the sometimes long distances and rough roads in the Land Cruiser safely, and stayed a day ahead in constantly reconfirming plans. At the national parks he found the best guides. He has all their numbers, everybody knows him. It meant that the rangers with us were very knowledgeable. Sula is not called the leopard man for nothing. In 12 days I saw 4.
Meanwhile Jesse-Tom checked regularly to ensure all was going well. At Lifetime Experiences they value their reputation. They genuinely want tourists to have a great time. All the care meant there was nothing to do but enjoy.
We visited Ziwa, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi, Mgahinga and Lake Mburo. All are excellent. I also liked the accommodation Jesse-Tom booked. When I asked, he also organised a night at the Ihamba residence so I could visit a Batwa community at a reasonable price. It was a highlight.
Jesse-Tom and Sula also helped organise the Covid 19 PCR test in Kampala needed to leave Uganda, even though our tour ended several days earlier. It was convenient and easy.
In planning any safari it is difficult to know who to trust. Lifetime Experience Safaris delivers. They will do their best to live up to their name. I can't recommend them highly enough!

A wonderful experience
We went on a 12 day adventure to see the Shoebills, Murchison Falls, Queen Elizabeth Park, Bwindi National Park and the beautiful Bunyonyi Lake.
On our trip, we had a young man as our driver and guide named Richard. Richard was very knowledgeable, particularly with the animals in the park. He made sure we saw the tree lions in Queen Elizabeth park and that we were well fed throughout our journey. Our organizer, Jesse came and saw us in person and explained our trip itinerary. We felt comfortable asking questions and communicating with him throughout the planning. Richard was a fun guide, took photos and became like family after the trip.
Definitely a trip of a lifetime. The gorillas were amazing and country of Uganda was just beautiful.

10 Day Safari and Gorilla Tracking
We recently went on a 10 day Uganda Safari that included White Rhino tracking, Chimpanzee tracking, and Silver Back Gorilla tracking. The experience was first class. Our Host and Driver, Baylon, made the trip fantastic. Everything was planned and organized and all we had to do was sit back and enjoy our trip through Uganda. The lodging, food, animal tracking, and game drives were all great. The number of animals sighted was incredible including lions, leopards and the rest of the "Big Five." And if you like Giraffe's, I have never seen as many! I am a photographer and had an opportunity to take over 3000 photographs of Ugandan Animals and country side. There was never a dull moment as we tracked animals, went on game drives, hiked to Murchison falls on the Nile, took enjoyable boat rides to see Ugandan wildlife and colorful birds, and visited the many National Parks. I highly recommend Life Experience Safaris. Ask for Baylon who made the trip unforgettable.

Best safari experience you can ever have
I booked my safari with JesseTom and wasn’t disappointed at all.From the hospitality, time of pick up to our destination,the journey had been organized so we could be in time for all the activities at Murchison falls National Park.Our guide having had experience as a ranger explained and described all the animal and bird species during the entire trip.I can say that the best part was when we finally saw the lions.What better way to end a safari.I am looking forward to my next trip with Lifetime experience safaris.If your looking for the best way to enjoy your trip in Uganda, look no further.
