They now the job !
I did the Gorilla Trek, departing from Kigali airport and returning to Kigali the next day. I contacted Dan beforehand via WhatsApp. Everything went perfectly; he took care of everything, was very responsive to my questions, and very professional. My driver was also excellent and very professional. I highly recommend it.

Dan is smart, very well connected, down to earth, fun, and overall a very charismatic guide
To start, we believe honesty is the best policy (for better or worse), especially with travel reviews. We are from Canada/United States, and we’ve traveled to 50+ countries and seven continents. We are middle class, though still have high expectations when we are spending significant money on international travel. I used to guide whitewater rafting and hunting in Montana. I understand the pressure it takes to excel as a guide for tourists that pay significant amounts to travel. Kisoro Tours Uganda (Dan) was referred to us by Lion-Guide Safaris in Tanzania (Dorit and Lukiano). His job was to guide us for Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trekking, as well as driving us all around Uganda and Rwanda until we reached Entebbe after our hiking activities. Dan is the owner of Kisoro Tours Uganda. He was on time to get us from the airport, was very knowledgeable about the area, and drove us straight to the border to cross into Uganda. At the border crossing, he was very knowledgeable about visas, paperwork, cash, requirements, etc. He drove us straight to our lodge where we spent the night (amazing views and service). The next morning, we went on the Gorilla trek. Dan was on time for departure, he joined us for breakfast, knew the military officials taking us on the guided Gorilla trek, and patiently waited for us to return. Furthermore, he knew several other people besides the military officials overseeing the Gorilla trek. He promptly brought us back to our lodge, and we had a wonderful dinner together. The next day was traveled to our lodge several hours away to visit the Chimpanzees. Once again, Dan was consistently on time, polite, supportive, and knew people at the hotel and running the Chimpanzee trek. While we were on the trek, we were having issues with our toilet at our hotel. Dan worked with the hotel to ensure the issue was fixed before our return. He also knows the local culture, language, and villages. He was able to tour around with us and introduce us to a handful of nice people. After we were done with our trek, we spent the night having dinner, drinks, and laughs with Dan. The next day, he drove us six hours to Entebbe. He is a very safe, professional, and charismatic driver. He stopped as we needed food, drinks, and bathroom breaks. At Entebbe, he brought us right to our hotel, where he kindly helped us unload our luggage and check-in. There’s not one single item I could list that Dan needs to improve. I think about this hard on each trip as I always want to provide feedback. He gave us a hug, and we wished him well in Entebbe. Hands down, Dan is one of the best guides we’ve ever had on seven continents and 50+ countries.
Best,
Michael W. and Jules A.

Dan was a wonderful guide to a variety of activities with wildlife.
We had used Kisoro the year before for wildlife experiences in Rwanda. It was such a great trip that we had Kisoro take us through Uganda' s wildilfe experiences. Another fantastic trip occurred. We really liked the variety of activities from zoo to land, to boat rides to see different wildlife in different environments. Well worth the cost.

An unforgettable journey thanks to Dan!
We made this trip with our four young children. The beauty of Uganda and the friendliness of the people has touched all of us. But what truly made it an unforgettable experience was our guide, Dan. From the moment we met, he made us feel welcome and at ease.
He helped to develop an itinerary adapted to our needs and made sure everything was arranged nicely, despite the short notice. We really loved all of the accommodations he had chosen for us. Dan definitely has an extended knowledge and is really dedicated, considerate and caring for everyone. He was very patient with the children and the best driver you can find. Also, when challenges arose, Dan remained calm and organized, ensuring that the trip always ran smoothly. He even had another car come at night to ensure we could continue our trip without delay or problems. Dan is very cheerful and has a great sense of humor. We also enjoyed the interesting conversations we had
For all the six of us, it really was an adventure filled with unforgettable moments, thanks to our amazing guide and all of his efforts. Dan made this trip a magical experience and we will look back on this journey with warm memories. Thank you for everything!

Once in a lifetime experience.
We had an excellent time travelling with Kisoro tours. Dan was an excellent tour leader, who got us safely from place to place. The car was comfortable and had lots of room. We came and returned to Kigali, so the border crossing was very straight forward both ways. We loved seeing the chimpanzees and gorillas up close. They were incredible. We also loved the accommodation provided and felt well looked after. A truly wonderful trip.

Dan from Kisouro Tours Uganda took us on a 2 day trip to Mburo National Park.
A hugely enjoyable trip-very organised with safe driving and very comfortable accommodation with beautiful food and attentive staff. The amount of animals and birds we experienced was spectacular and exhilarating. So many species of birds plus crocodiles, hippos, zebra, giraffes, warthog, mongoose, snake, monkeys, frogs and many antelope. We had a wonderful time and can't wait til our next trip with Dan.

Lake Mburu National Park tour
A great tour, well organised, smoothly run and good value for money. We were looked after by Dan from Kisoro Tours Uganda and we really felt like he cared for us. He went out of his way on the return journey so we could stop off at a place of interest without any hesitation. Thank you Dan.
