Excellent, Highly recommended!
Our trip to Uganda with Grassrootz was exceptional in every respect and counts among the most impressive travel experiences we have ever had.
Even the communication beforehand was excellent. Sander was always available, answered all of our questions in an extremely professional manner, and responded to every request with flexibility and reliability. The entire trip was superbly planned, well structured logistically, and perfectly coordinated. Every single destination was absolutely worth recommending and offered unique experiences.
Our route took us, among other places, to the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where we were able to see rhinos up close; to the Bugoma Forest for chimpanzee trekking; through the Bigodi Swamp; into the impressive Queen Elizabeth National Park; and to Ishasha, famous for its tree-climbing lions. An absolute highlight was the gorilla trekking in Bwindi — a deeply moving moment that will remain in our memories forever. Lake Mburo National Park, with its giraffes and zebras, was also incredibly beautiful.
On the last day before continuing our journey to Kenya, we made a stop at the Mabamba Swamp near Entebbe. Unfortunately, we arrived at Mabamba Swamp a bit later than planned and therefore had less time than expected. All the more remarkable was the dedication of our guide: Amos organized another opportunity for us completely free of charge, which we were able to take advantage of on New Year’s Day — a service that is anything but taken for granted.
Our guide Amos was simply outstanding. His professionalism, extensive knowledge of animals, plants, and Uganda’s nature, as well as his warm and humorous personality, made every single stage of the journey a special experience. No matter what question we had, Amos always had an answer. He consistently managed to keep the mood high and accompanied us with so much passion and commitment that we will never forget this time. Our greatest thanks go to him.
We will definitely be back.
Thank you very much for this unforgettable journey!

Experienced agent and guide take good care of you!
We had a great trip with Grassrootz!
Sander managed to arrange our tour very quick. In a little bit more then a month notice, he made a customized holiday for us.
Sander provided us swiftly and with good info about what to expect and do, including visa for Afrika.
Uganda is a great country to visit, diversity in parks and animals, friendly people, we felt very welcome and safe.
We had a Super driver/guide: Bob. He is a good driver, safe and comfortable (taking into account the road surface). Bob knows a lot about the country and animals. He makes a big effort to make sure you are getting the best service at the hotels and booked tours. He also provided us with tips on possible extra’s, which we most of the times embraced, and found a bonus.
We, a family of 3 (one 17 year old daughter), can certainly recommend visiting Uganda with Grassrootz!

An unforgettable 14-day adventure through Uganda with Grassrootz Adventures
We just returned from an incredible 14-day tour through Uganda with Grassrootz Adventures, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
From the very first contact, Sander was fantastic to work with. Whatever wishes or special requests we had, he always came up with a fitting solution, and communication was always fast and easy via WhatsApp.
The lodges we stayed at throughout the trip were all excellent — every single one was good / top-notch, comfortable, and beautifully located. The game drives were amazing, offering incredible wildlife sightings and unforgettable moments in the bush.
Other highlights of the trip were the trekkings: the mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, and golden monkeys were truly extraordinary. Coming face to face with these animals in their natural habitat is an experience that words can barely do justice to — utterly magical, very close by and something we will never forget.
All in all, this was a phenomenal trip from start to finish, perfectly organized by a team that clearly knows Uganda inside and out. A huge, well-deserved recommendation for Grassrootz Adventure and Sander in particular. If you're considering a trip to Uganda, just contact Grassrootz Adventures, you won't regret it!

Grassrootz exceeded all expectations
I had an amazing experience on Safari in Uganda. Two of us booked a private tour, which was really reasonable and the standard of the food, the lodges, the itinerary by far surpassed my expectations. It really was the trip of a lifetime. Uganda is a special place and I highly recommend to see it via Grassrootz.

Spot on
What an amazing trip to Uganda! Everything was perfectly organized, and we visited some incredible places such as Bugoma Central Forest Reserve, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, and Lake Mburo National Park. Our driver/guide was friendly and helpful, and he shared a wealth of knowledge with us throughout the journey. I can sincerely recommend this trip to everyone!
