Reviews
Gorilla tracking was breathtaking experience
It was such an awesome and breathtaking experience on our first gorilla trekking trip to Uganda. The tour was highly well planned and everything was executed according to the itinerary. It was a memorable experience watching the gorillas in their natural habitat. We all felt like we were watching an animal television channel. I highly recommend Wild Jungle Trails Safaris - they took care of everything from the get go ,the Guide Wilson was very nice and informative,The name Wild jungle trails safaris will reckon in my mind whenever I see anything wildlife because of their hospitality and professionalism.

A memorable adventure for the whole family, breathtaking beauty up close, well looked after.
We booked online from the UK and always got a prompt and efficient reply by email from Teresa with good suggestions tailored to our preferences. Our guide Twaha was always on time, lots of fun, and the whole family got to know and like him. (Our children were 9, 12 and 15.) He was flexible and helpful, always happy to explain about local culture. He was able to tell us fun facts about animals, trees etc. and answer most questions, although he didn't have as much detailed knowledge as the guides who work at the parks. He knew his way around, and was constantly in touch with other guides by phone, finding hyenas and lions for us and getting us so close to giraffes we could almost have reached out and touched them. The van opened up at the top so we could stand up in the shade and take photos. He even let the children climb up on to the roof and cling on for a memorable white knuckle ride. He lent us his camera when our batteries ran out, sharing photos afterwards. He gave us tips about getting a good spot on boat rides and when is the best time to go and was a reassuringly safe driver. The only improvements I could suggest would be more working seat belts, although Twaha is a safe driver and health and safety is not really part of the culture as it is at home. Also our kids would have preferred to spend less time in Kampala before getting started properly, which made a long journey feel a bit too long for them, although that was really my own fault because I did not want to pay the full cost in advance so we had to wait at the bank. (I noticed in Uganda you mostly have to pay at the outset, few companies can afford to wait to be reimbursed later.) We chose the Paraa loge in Murchisson Falls park which is the most expensive but it was amazing to be greeted with fresh juice, face wipes, to have our air conditioned rooms regularly treated against insects, to sit at the bar on an underwater stool in the pool looking down over the Nile. Great range of buffet food, typical local food as well as loads of more familiar western options, with live local music and dance at weekends. Could have spent all our time there, but nothing beats the feeling of heading out before sunrise with eyes peeled for the first glimpse of baboons, keeping quiet so as not to disturb the elephants. Beautiful sunset over the nile as we floated past hippos and crocodiles. Great memories.

BEST tour guide!!!!!!
We just returned from Uganda, and we're lucky enough to have Twaha be our guide in Bwindi and Queen Elizabeth Park. We have done many trips like this with tour guides, and Twaha was a true gem. He helped us in any way he could, was flexible, conscientious, and very kind. He spent a lot of time with us looking for animals in Queen Elizabeth, and was successful! You will enjoy your experience of a lifetime with him. Please don't think twice. I am 100% confident in recommending him. Thank you Twaha! We miss you!!!!

Fantastic guide and fantastic experience
Everything about our trip was fantastic, and our guide (Twa) at Wild Jungle Trails was a big reason for that. We went to Bwindi to track the gorillas and spent 3 days doing safari at Queen Elizabeth NP. Twa got us into the gorilla tracking group that we wanted, and went above an beyond to take care of us (even going as far to take me to the hospital and sit with me for 3 hours during off hours at night). Top notch, personalized, and professional service from the moment we were picked up until our departure. Wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend Gorilla Trail Safaris to anyone traveling to the region!

Incredible Uganda Tour
We made a 9 days tour through Uganda with Wild Jungle Trails.
First of all we would thank Teresa for her perfect planning and organizing the tour. All our whishes were 100% conisdered and she made a lot of good recommendations. Beside of that we appreciate the personal contact with her during the tour.
Second we like to thank our Guide Twaha for safe driving an competent guiding. It was a pleasure to spend the time with Twaha and to learn so much from him an his explanations about the animals, birds, living in Uganda and so much more... Especially his seating tip for the boat trip at the Kazinga Channel was valuable ;-)
I am hundred percent sure that we will come back to Uganda one day and we will come back to Wild Jungle Trails. Please do continue your great work!

Well organized, a lot of fun and an unforgettable experience
Twaha was the perfect tour guide for us - we went on safari in Queen Elizabeth NP for four days and we'd like to repeat the trip exactly like it was. Twaha is a nice and funny guy, he is very well organized and he knows a lot about the animals and plants in the park and especially where and when to find them. The accomodation alone was great and unforgettable. We felt safe and comfortable all of the time and enjoyed the safari trip a lot! :-)

Twa is awesome!
We were so lucky to book our safari with Twa. A good guide should not only be able to tell something about the nature and know where to find the animals you're looking for, but he should also be able to network with other guides and employees of the parks to improve the chance that you'll see rare animals. Twa has it all and thank to him we saw over ten lions and even a leopard and a hyena. If you read this, Twa: thanks again - we've had an awesome experience that we will never forget!

Great days in QENP!
We spent 3 great days in QENP in October with an excellent, reliable driver! Our tour was perfectly organized by Twaha(Klaus) and we always had a safe journey with our driver and guide Remi. Our trip included game drives, a trip on Kazinga Channel, a visit to a Fishing village and Chimpanzee Trecking in Kyambura Gorge. We saw a lot of animals, had a wonderful time and really enjoyed this absolutely fantastic experience! Thanks to Twaha and Remi for this amazing tour!!!
