It was OK
I booked my tour with Dan from Kisoro Tours Uganda. The safari itself was good, I enjoyed the trekking and the gorillas, however, I did not like how at the last moment before our arrival Dan tried to raise the prices of our safari (250 USD extra per person, because he had to organize additional car - rental of additional car with the driver for 3 days is less than 200 USD in Uganda), which did not happen, but still the move left bad aftertaste in my mouth... I also was severely disappointed with the Broadbill Forest Camp - truly a terrible accommodation! Still not completed - 6 years after initiation, old tents, water trickling from the shower, no water in the toilet the last day, personnel without any idea about how to manage the camp and not familiar with the hospitality concept whatsoever, electricity only until 10 PM and then overwhelming darkness, microscopic food portions, on the trekking day we were served rice and vegetables as it was raining so nobody in the camp felt like going down to the village to buy some much needed proteins etc. Initially we were thinking we should have stayed in the forest longer than just 2 nights, but after seeing and experiencing the camp, we were glad that we didn't cater for longer stay. 2 other persons from our group were staying in a different location, which judging from their descriptions was much more liveable. Maybe Broadbill Forest Camp is comparatively cheaper to the organizers... My advise: go for Kisoro tours, but avoid the Broadbill Forest Camp!

Enjoyable safari vacation.
We had a good time visiting Uganda. We saw the chimpanzees in Kibale, lions and other animals in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and zebras in Lake Mburo. The highlight was our time with the gorillas in Bwindi. Dan - thank so much!
Dan the Man
Dan, the owner of Kisoro Tours is someone I met several years ago. I help run a charity based near to the town of Mbale, 7 hours by road, from Entebbe.I book Dan to drive me there and once in Mbale, to drive me around locally for a few days. He is an excellent, safe driver, and a most pleasant person to be around.
Dan has never actually planned an itinerary, nor booked hotels/lodges on my behalf, since I already know exactly where and when, I am going.
As far as his vehicle is concerned, it's a 7 seater jeep, comfortable but not especially luxurious.
I would certainly recommend Dan as a driver.
Dan's prices are high, he charged us $170 per day, I think the going rate is nearer $100 per day excluding fuel.

very good, I will use again if that is the case
Wonderful experience about the tour.
The bad or sad part was the Hotel. The quality of the service need to be improved.

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.

2 day trip to Mburo National Park
After a busy 2 weeks in Kampala four of us decided to do a quick safari to Mburo National Park before travelling back to UK. We chose to go with Dan from Kisoro Tours because we have traveled with him before as have other friends. Our previous trip to Queen Elizabeth National Park was excellent so we chose Kisoro Tours again. Dan is a wonderful and knowledgeable guide and good fun to be with. We had a great trip, and highly recommend it. We saw an abundance of wildlife. A boat trip on Lake Mburo was included and we saw many species of birds, including fish eagles and kingfishers. There were lots of hippopotamus and Nile Crocodiles and on land we saw zebra, giraffe and many types of antelope.The transport and accommodation were very comfortable and the trip was well organised. Dan took us back to Entebbe airport after lunch at the Equator…a lovely end to our trip to Uganda.

We did everything we wanted to do! Big Five, primates, and much, much more
This was a fantastic trip. Three of us had a fantastic trip with Eddy our driver and guide. We went to Akagera, Nyungwe and Volcanoes National Parks in Rwanda. The places we stayed had wonderful accommodations and delicious meals (often more than we could eat so we learned to share dishes), especially the fresh fruit everywhere. We were fortunate to not hike too far into the jungles to see the gorillas, chimpanzees, and golden monkeys. In two days we saw the Big Five and so much wildlife. On the road and at the parks, Eddy was always watchful of birds since I like photographing them--and he knew them all.
We changed our itinerary at least three times and Dan was patient and responsive to reach our final one. Well worth the cost. We will return to visit Rwanda and add Uganda to our trip with Kisoro.
