Can't imagine traveling to Uganda with any other guide...Twaha is, hands down, THE BEST!!
This is my 7th consecutive year traveling to Uganda and using Twaha as a safari guide. Each year he manages to somehow make the experience even better than the last. I have now experienced Queen Elizabeth National Park, Murchison Falls (at least 5 times), Quads on the Nile, boat rides to the falls, birding adventures, chimp trekking, Nile river rafting and the most AMAZING lodges! I don't even look at the itinerary anymore...I just let the Wild Jungle Trails team handle all the arrangements. Each year they pick the perfect places and set us up with the best guides at each adventure. I always receive the best customer service from start to finish.
If you are looking for a stress free, safe guide who knows all the ins and outs of Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya.....Wild Jungle Safaris should be your only option. I recommend getting input from their staff in regards to realistic travel times and accommodations to ensure your expectations are met and your trip is enjoyable! I can't imagine experiencing Africa with any other safari guide!
A big 5 for Wild Jungle Trails
Rwanda and Uganda 15 days safari.
Some people have it naturaly, every body likes them even when they make little mistakes ,you forget about it because you envoy very much there company....It is the case of Twaha .We had such a WONDRFUL time with him.So much laught .Reading all those goods reviews I was wondering if he could keep up to it.So he did trying is best to see the most animals we could see,convencing his colleges to keep cherching for the big 5 even if they were ready to go back to the lodge. Try to get the best seats for us on the cruise . On the road he will makes sure to take us to nice restaurants so we wouldn't get sick from the food.
We were the first one to get to the leopards ,the lions , having time to spend some time taking pictures before the others jeeps arrived.We had chalanging him all the 15 days about his good score in the reviews and how much we should give him teasing him, never gots upset good sence of humour.He loves is country and enjoy to have you discorver it with him .Twaha is only 34 he owns is cie and he is a leader, all the others guides know him, beying so friendly, same thing with the staff of the lodges so it can be very helpful.My husband just love is vintage big Toyota land cruise ......
It was a pleasure to work with Teresa for our itinary ,she always anwered promtly to the numerous emails I sended her. The lodges that she suggested were just greats ( midrang safari)and they even were better that on the pictures which it is rarely the case.Thank-you to both you for this unforgetable trip. And Twaha you did it again a the perfect score another big 5 for the big 5 ...... keep it up .We will miss you.

5 days Gorilla and Chimpanzee Safari-Tour
For my second time I made a Safari in Uganda, the second time with Twaha and Wild Jungle Trails. And for sure I would even chose them next time!
Everything is well planed before and all your wishes are implemented.
We did Chimpanzee-Tracking in Kibale and Gorilla-Tracking in Bwindi. Inbetween we enjoyed Kraterlakes, a lot of monkeys, wonderful Lokal food and Lake Bunyonyi.
With a good guide like Twaha you get to know the wildlife, the culture and the country easily. He is a friendly, openminded, funny person with a big knowledge and lots of experiences.
Weebale nyo Twaha for making our Safari to a wonderful and unforgettable trip!

Great job!!!!
We have been waiting for this wonderful journey for more than two years. Because of Covid we could not travel.
Then it started, there were four of us and we couldn't imagine what will come.
Uganda inspired us from the first second.
Fred our wonderful, always happy and safe driver picked us up at the airport and took us to our lodge.
A great safari car was our home for 9 days. During our round trip, which took us to 5 national parks, we saw everything that Uganda had to offer in terms of animals, flora, fauna and wonderful landscapes. We were amazed and couldn't get over the joy.
Our lodges (midrange) were fabulous, the food was good everywhere. Nice and cheerful people were constantly concerned about our well-being.
Fred had an answer to every question about his country and drove us safe over both the good and the sometimes very bumpy roads.
Our side program was a community walk, a visit to a salt miner and to a Lokal cooperatives.
Really highly recommended !!!
Nine days passed like nothing. We had to go home again.
I think I will never forget this country.
THank. you Christina ,from Wild Jungle trails for your support, ideas ans arrangements.

Best Honeymoon Gorilla Trekking and Rwandan Tour Ever!!
We wanted to do something very different for our Honeymoon. We read a lot about the gorilla trekking tours and knew we had to have that on our itinerary. We found Wild Jungle Trails on this site and never imagined how easy and pleasant everything would be, from beginning to end. It all started with email exchanges with Teresa, she was very pleasant and very patient with us (given that this was our first time planning this sort of trip). She explained everything thoroughly and made the whole process really easy. We are big history buffs and really wanted a historic tour of the city, Teresa made sure our itinerary included everything we wanted, with no problem.
When the day of the safari came, Teresa arranged the pickup from the airport and gave us her direct number so that we could reach her at any time with any issues or questions, which was very nice and made us feel a lot better about the whole thing. Emma picked us up from the airport and since it was a bit late we headed straight to our historic hotel Hôtel des Mille Collines, where Teresa had an wonderful surprise waiting for us! Since it was our honeymoon Teresa arranged for the hotel to wait for us with a bottle of champagne in our room and rose pedals everywhere!! It was such a wonderful and thoughtful touch!
Later we found out that Emma was not only our ride from the airport, he was also our guide for the whole trip. He is so young we were a little worried about what we would get... Boy we were surprised!! Emma was simply fascinating, knowledgeable and amazing person to be with for 3 whole days. He is a history buff like we are, which was perfect!! The entire tour and trip to the gorillas we felt that we learned so much about his country. He was not only knowledgeable, but very flexible as well. Emma had no issues adopting the tour and overall trip to our needs, recommended places to visit with a lot of history which we totally enjoyed! We also went to a living museum where he had the actors reenact our wedding Rwandan Style! which was totally fun!!
Thanks to Teresa, Emma and Wild Jungle Trails we are already planning to come back to Rwanda! And we will definitely be calling them back!!

Rwanda and Uganda in best hands!
Wild Jungle Trials offered to us a customised tour and safari in Rwanda and Uganda. Pick-up in Kigali and drop off in Entebbe was no problem at all, the one-way option saved us much time on the road. Communication with Teresa at the office and Twaha himself was a pleasure, the proposed route was adjusted to our wishes concerning activities, hotels and price range.
Route details 10 days: Kigali, Lake Kivu with kayaking, Volcanoes NP with Golden monkey treking, Kisoro, Bwindi NP with Gorilla treking, Lake Bunyonyi, game drives to tree-climbing lions at Ishasha section (Queen Elizabeth NP), Queen Elizabeth NP with game drives and boat safari, chimpanse treking in Kyambura gorge, game drives and boat trip at Lake Mburo NP, Uganda equator, Kampala. Awesome activities throughout the safari!
Very good accommodations, nice food, comfortable, spacious tour van, reasonable prizes and the best tour guide in whole Uganda! Thank you again, Twaha!

This awesome guide can get you anywhere!
Returning Customers :)
We booked Wild Jungle Trail Safaris, especially Mr. Lukwago Twaha, for our safari in Rwanda and Uganda for the second time now, because Twaha is just our man! And again, we did not regret it.
Planning of the trip is easily done via email. Since we already knew the spots, we asked for a specific list of highlights we wanted to cover. The itinerary is well prepared and the lodges/hotels were just as we wanted them. You can choose your level of accommodation. Everything from low budget to high class is possible. Meals were always decent and excellent.
On very short notice, we asked to go Gorilla Trekking the other day, although we have not planned it - and they made it possible for us without charging any extra fee for the change of plans (except the trekking fee of course).
Overall we had just 11 perfect days
Thank you very much and see you next time, Twaha!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST EXPERIENCE! Wow, above and beyond impressed with Wild Jungle Trails Safaris!
This was my second Ugandan safari. It had been several years since I had been so was unsure about how the process was going to work. However, Twaha and his team at Wild Jungle Trails made the process seamless. Not to mention the actual safari was a dream and such a unique experience. We did not have to worry about anything from start to finish. Everything was communicated in a timely manner and clearly. I would recommend above and beyond this company. You will not be disappointed and in fact, I think you will be shocked at how wonderful your experience will be!

What a wonderful experience provided by Wild Jungle Trails! Highly recommended.
I came to know Wild Jungle Trails through trusted personal references and was overwhelmed by their services and staff during my 10-day vacation in Uganda. Our guide (and owner), Lukwago Twaha, is a very special person. ❤️
Here is what was provided:
>Customized itinerary
>Attentive and accommodating treatment
>Super positive attitude throughout
>Trustworthy and safety-conscious events and activities
>Knowledge and solid relationships with locales everywhere we went
>Ease in booking, scheduling, and execution
>Excellent food venues
Here are some of the activities on our itinerary:
>3-night stay at The Haven (my favorite place — quaint and absolutely beautiful— ‘that day’-fresh fish served every day)
>Boat ride to the source of the Nile (which I learned was a complicated assertion to many)
>Trek through Rhino Sanctuary (got a t-shirt of Obama the Rhino — who escaped the sanctuary boundaries the day before our visit-lol)
>Hike thru Jungle to see chimps (we stood in awe watching a family of chimps interact—to include a little baby chimp who seemed to be personally entertaining us)
>Visit to local village to visit 7-yr old Mission-sponsored girl (Grace, the beautiful)
>Personal visit to home of city-dwelling dairy farmer (answering question, how do Ugandan’s live behind that gate?)
>White-water rafting on the Nile (Fun!! And safe due to excellent river guides)
>Two addt’l ferry/boat rides on the Nile (different times of day provide different types of bird and mammal sightings— who knew?!)
>And finally— 2 Safari outings (elephants, giraffes, antelope(s), birds galore, huge dung beetle(yes, odd to mention but so cool), signs of leopards and large cats ...)
Uganda is awesome!! Thank you Wild Jungle Safaris and Twaha.
