I can't recommend this adventure with Pearl Afric highly enough. YOU MUST GO!
iThis was my second experience of Murchison Falls National Park with Pearl Afric Tours & Travel and once again it was 3 days to remember!
We were picked up promptly from our accommodation and from that point to the moment that we returned I only have positive words to say about Pearl Afric and the adventure. Our driver Paul was excellent in every aspect. The rhino reserve was an absolutely unbelievable experience. Murchison Falls National Park is stunning in every aspect. Accommodation was excellent. Murchison Falls itself is beautiful.
This trip with Pearl Afric is highly recommended!!!

Excellent tour operator
During the years from 2008 to 2012, when I was lucky to live and work in Uganda, I have travelled quite a few times with the assistance of Pearl Afric Tours & Travel. I got to know the manager Innocent Manda personally. Every time I was very happy with the driver/guide. As I always travelled alone he made me feel special and always tried hard to show me the animals I hoped to see. My trips were always very well organised. I keep unforgettable memories of all the trips I have made, in particular of my very last trip to the mountain gorillas in the Bwindi National Park.
I would recommend this travel agent to everyone who plans to visit the national parks in Uganda!

Don't hesitate to choose Pearl Afric for your tour through Uganda!
We really enjoyed the perfect service and organization that was offered by Pearl Afric on our trip through Uganda. The roundtrip the agencies follow is usually the same, differences between the operators are therefore often found in smaller details. We had the impression that Pearl Afric provides a more personal approach than the larger companies. For example, in Fort Portal we stayed overnight in a B&B rather than in yet another lodge which gave us a very good view on the life in a smaller African town.
Innocent is a lovely person, who will give you the best service with the best intentions. Don’t let yourself be put off by the slightly messier format of the offer compared to the slick European standards, neither by the typical African English (we find it very charming!). Besides, we found it important to directly invest in a local based company rather than to organise things through (European) middlemen. No need to say that you also save a considerable amount of money this way.
Pearl Afric is 100% trustable, but maybe it gives some people an awkward feeling having to organise everything from 1000 km’s away via e-mail. We can confirm this works out fine and are happy to alleviate any confusion or worries when it comes to that.
Finally a last tip regarding the payment: this can also be done by a bank transfer to a Dutch account of Innocent’s wife, Ms. Janssen. We have arranged the down payment this way. Also possible is to bring cash money to Uganda, but from experience we know that (North?) Europeans rather prefer paying in an electronic way….up to you. Enjoy your stay in this marvellous country!

Perfect arranged tour and holiday
We met Pearl Afric Tours & Travel (Innocent) in Vienna on the holiday fair. We were convinced from the beginning that this will be the best operator for our holiday.
From the arriving in Entebbe till the time we were brought back to the airport we were very well looked after. Our driver Paul had answers to all our questions and he fulfilled all our wishes.
All the lodges which were organized from Pearl Afric were very nice, clean and the food was very delicious. The staff was very friendly.
We can recommend Pearl Afric Tours & Travel to everyone!
