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!

PearlAfric has offered us an amazing trip through the (south)west of Uganda with an excellent driver
PearlAfric is an Ugandian tour operator which knows the nicest accommodations for the best price. In almost all our lodges and resorts we had full board. This meant for us that we could chose from a menu and we had the opportunity to ask for a lunch package if we had a gamedrive or another excursion. Most lodges and resorts were within a short range of National Parks. The contact went via email, and when we had to change something, we sent an email and it was solved.

The weekend was very well organised, everything ran on time & the safari team made sure we utilised the day. The accommodation and sunrise game drive were amazing & we saw lots of animals in murchison national park. I would definitely recommend this tour agency! Thank you Pearl Afric!

Sam was the ultimate guide and driver for our safari’s.
Our guide was Sam and he did an outstanding job in so many ways. He was excellent on the Safari’s of knowing where to look for different animals and having a large knowledge base on each animal. We saw a Leopard which was an animal we really hoped to see.
He was very personable and accommodating. On our next trip to Uganda we will request Sam as our guide again!

Amazing Trip!!
It was an amazing trip, and I would recommend PearlAfric Tours and Travel because they ensure you achieve your travel goals and have an exceptional overall experience. Samuel is an amazing driver, experienced and well informed. We enjoyed all the historical and fun cultural stories both on and off the road. We felt very safe with him and are happy we had him for our trip to Murchison Falls!

good organised, thoughtful, friendly! David our guid was the cherry on the pie, dutch expression :-)
This holiday was amazing and overwelming. We have seen the most beautifull vieuws, all wild animals, from gorillas to a leopard. We slept in the most beautiful lodges. The food was great. Oeganda is beautifull with friendly people. We always felt safe and our holiday wasn't be so nice if David wasn't there for us.
David, our happy guide, always smiling. He knows and tells everything about Oeganda and the animals. He is thoughtful and full of humor.
David .....5 stars plus!!!!!! When I think of this tour of 6 days, I start smiling and I will remember this for the rest of my life!!!

Fantastic and knowledgeable crew
We organised a 3 day safari tour with Pearl Afric. What an experience we had...they definitely took us to the best spots to catch the animals we had on our bucket list and knew their way round the terrain etc. We had a great time with Ivan and David and will for sure book again with them. The safari experience was value for money and the team were very reliable.
