Murchison Falls has it all !!
4/5

I went on a 3 day trip with Grassrootz Adventures to Murchison Falls National Park (MFNP). Pick up was in Kampala. In the program was a visit to Ziwa Rhino sanctuary, Gamedrive in MFNP, Boattrip and hike to the falls and a Chimp trekking. What I liked about the program was the diversity. I really enjoyed watching the sunrise early in the morning before the gamedrive, trekking the forest to look for chimps and sit on top of the van to enjoy the beautiful nature of Murchison Falls National Park (and the driver driving with 60 km/h). Our guide/driver was very willing to tell as much as possible, about animals but also about some history of Uganda. So I can say that the total experience was very nice, absolutely I can recommend to go to MFNP with Grassrootz Adventures. Murchison Falls has it all !!

Discovering eastern part of Uganda
4/5

In June 2013 my wife Yvette and I traveled with Grassrootz Adventures through Uganda. We had been in Uganda earlier on several occasions, also because I'm running a foundation called the Astrid Uganda Foundation. That's why I already visited the beautiful parts of Uganda most people start with, like Murchison Falls, QENP, the gorillas and the chimps, but never before I went to Kidepo en the Karamajong area. Grassrootz composed for us a tailormade trip to our project in Lira and from there to Kidepo, Kotido and Mbale and did they a marvelous job. Nice places to stay, a fabulous driver and game tracker and a very warm welcome to Anke Volders'place in Kotido.

Wonderful trip through northern Uganda
4/5

We hebben een hele mooie reis gemaakt door het noorden van Uganda, verzorgd door Grassrootz Adventures. Met George als fijne betrouwbare chauffeur en gids hebben we aardig wat kilometers gemaakt door het bijzondere landschap in het noorden. We hebben overnacht op mooie, eenvoudige plekken. Grassrootz wil graag locale communities steunen door te overnachtingen te organiseren bij deze lokale communities.
De banda's en kamers zijn eenvoudig, maar prima. De mensen zijn zo behulpzaam en zorgzaam voor ons geweest! Het eten wordt met liefde gekookt en we hebben het te doen met wat er lokaal voor handen is. En dat is prima. Heel soms hebben we ook mogen genieten van een (best wel heel veel) luxere setting, wat dan ook wel weer als een enorm kado werd ontvangen door ons!
De tocht (Kampala - Moroto - Kotido - Kidepo Valley NP - Murchison Falls NP - Fort Portal ) was prachtig en echt een aanrader!


We had a very beautiful trip through northern Uganda, provided by Grassrootz Adventures. With George as reliable driver and guide we have traveled quite some distance through the special landscape in the north. We stayed in nice, simple places. Grassrootz likes to support local communities by organizing nights in these local communities.
The bandas and rooms are basic but fine. The people were so helpful and caring for us! The food is cooked with love and we had to make do with what is locally available. And that's fine. Very occasionally we also enjoyed a (quite a lot) more luxurious setting, that was also received as a huge gift!
The tour (Kampala - Moroto - Kotido - Kidepo Valley National Park - Murchison Falls National Park - Fort Portal) was superb and highly recommended!
