Amazing experience in Uganda the Pearl of Afrika with Grassrootz adventure.
We have great experience in Uganda 🇺🇬 arranged by Grassrootz adventures.
The communication with Grassrootz was very professional and good.
We have seen a lot of wild annimals from nearby in the wilderness. The accommodations were comfortable and nice, and the people there are very friendly. The gorillatracking was an amazing unforgettable experience.
Everything was good arranged by our gide Barnice, he was very reliable.
When you want to go on a safari trip in Uganda, don’t hesitate and make a reservation by Grassrootz Adventue.

tailor made to taste
second time we booked with Grassrootz. I know Uganda pretty well so we clearly indicated what we were looking for and we got - with some very accommodating tweaking and tuning - exactly that: basic but decent accommodations, a great driver/guide who knew a lot and was super helpful and the right balance between the tourist experience and the local experience. Sander did some good recoomendations that perfectly matched what we were looking for.

An incredible experience in the pearl of Africa
I travelled with my wife and her mum who is 76. We did a nine days safari (eight nights) in the west of Uganda, starting from the north west and finishing in the south before heading back to Entebbe.
I'll start by saying that the trip was one of our top five trips in the world, after visiting 60+ countries. There were two contributing factors to this statement:
1. Uganda
2. Our guide, Paul
We could not have asked for a better guide and we implore to ask for him personally (as you'll see in other reviews). Paul is extremely knowledgeable, pragmatic, experienced, kind, patient and has a wonderful sense of humour. He constantly found the best options for the trip based on the weather, traffic and our interests. He's also an excellent driver and within the somewhat challenging conditions of driving around Uganda he's very prudent and safe.
The tour itself was intense, as we wanted to cover all of the west in a nine days. This is not for the faint of heart with several transfers taking 4-6 hours given the distance that needs to be covered. If you want a more relaxed journey, you should extend your trip so you can stay two nights in each location. We only stayed in two locations for two nights, with the remaining five being one night each which meant a lot of driving in order to get everything done.
For us, albeit somewhat challenging, it was absolutely worth it. Most drives went by quickly as we saw the countryside of Uganda and met interesting people. We also managed to hear quite a few stories from Paul and get to know the country better.
We enjoyed the Gorillas (obviously) and the Chimps, but in general the different national parks were great and we easily spotted the big dive, with some extras like hynas and other exotic animals like the shoebill stork (a must see). We also enjoyed meeting different communities and learn about their crafts (gin making, coffee production etc) and meeting the Batwa was an incredible experience (definitely ask to do that, although it's three hours it's absolutely worth it). For us, this is an easy five stars to give and we'd highly recommend it.
Overall, it was an incredible

Knowledgable, pleasant, fullfilling our wishes, creative in organizing the perfect trip and safaris
We have made such a special trip with our family (parents and 2 sons of 22 and 19 yrs) in beautiful Uganda. It is a beautifully varied country and Toon and Sander from Grassrootz have organized a perfect trip for us, even for our smaller budget. In 10 days we did jeep, walking and boat safaris with a perfect guide Emmy. He is super knowledgeable, pleasant to travel with for 10 days, arranges everything perfectly down to the last detail, finds nice coffee and places to eat and is creative in coming up with even more sights. It was great and we saw an incredible amount. Elephants, giraffes, endless hippos, crocodiles, beautiful birds, too many to mention. The country is beautiful and the people are incredibly friendly and helpful. The nature is impressive and varied. From broad savannas, beautiful overgrown hilly landscapes and the most beautiful lake ever seen, Lake Bunyonyi with 29 islands. Chimpanzees a few meters away. We have trekked from Kampala, Murchison Falls National Park ,Lake Mburo National Park, Northern Queen Elizabeth National Park, Ndali Kasenda Crater Lakes and DjaDja Banga. In short, a must for everyone!
