Unique tour and gorilla experience with an excellent guide
We booked a two-week private tour, and our driver, Abdul, was excellent and always punctual throughout our trip, according to the itinerary. Abdul is a very experienced guide who knows the country very well and knows where the animals usually hang out. He has eagle eyes and has spotted the animals from afar. When I unfortunately developed stomach problems, he got me medicine and was very concerned. The accommodations were all excellent and each one unique. There was very little tourism at the time, so we were completely alone in some of the accommodations, and there weren't any big crowds on the game drives either. It was an ideal month for travel, with a bit of rain now and then, which didn't bother us, as we were mostly in a jeep when it rained. The people are all extremely friendly and interested in tourists. The highlight for us was the gorilla tracking; we were able to observe a family up close for an hour. We got the impression that they even wanted to play with us. We weren't so lucky with the chimpanzees, as the cold, rainy weather meant they spent more time in the trees. But it was also impressive to see them in the wild.
In summary: we learned and saw a lot and wouldn't want to miss this adventure!

The operator was experienced, always on time and reliable.
The journey was great, we had amazing lodges with excellent food and - we guess - the best driver & guide (his name is Abdul).
Abdul was very experienced, we never felt unsave, he has a big knowledge of animals and nature, he was well organized, everytime on time and managed all our needs.
Communication was mostly done (before the journey) via e-Mail, then we changed to communication via WhatsApp.
The value for money is not comparable to other offers we got from Europe (Austria and Germany)! It was much less money for much more service!
Thank you, Pearl Afric, for this great adventure and experience, we loved to visit Uganda with you.
We really recommend Pearl Afric (and Abdul) as a tour operator!
