Very professional tour operator and guide!
We organized a 10-day trip to Uganda including Gorilla and Chimps tracking. We chose Grassrootz based on the advice of a friend who had already travelled with them. Trip was organized by Sander, who was always very responsive despite the last minute request (he developed 5 or 6 different options in few days) and everything ended up to be very well organized. Our guide Amos was great, he was reliable, supportive and flexible also when we faced some challenges and had to reshuffle the travel plan on the go. Price we paid was lower and communication was easier and faster than it usually is when you have intermediaries in between. I would definitely recommend Grassrootz for a trip to Uganda!

Grassrootz Adventures is truly extraordinary in every necessary aspect of delivery of its product.
Grassrootz Adventures provided an excellent comprehensive tour of Uganda. The accommodations, food and tour contents were incredible throughout my 16 day journey. Our guide Emmy was professional, attentive and knowledgeable. Both the chimpanzee and gorilla habituation programs were well worth it since they brought me close to the gentle giants who share so much of our DNA.
I strongly recommend Grassrootz to anyone striving for wonderful service, value for money and most of all reliability and safety. There is no better way to explore "the pearl of Africa" than with Grassrootz.

Super professional and excellent!
We have visited Uganda, together with my partner. Our first time in Uganda, so we were very curious about the Pearl of Africa. What an amazing country! Thanks to Sander from Grassrootz, and thanks to our professional guide Barnice, we have made an unforgettable journey in Uganda!

Fantastic adventure!
We just had a fantastic 12-day adventure with Grassrootz, visiting some of the most beautiful places in Uganda, including Murchison Falls National Park, Kibale Forest with its chimpanzees, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi National Park with its mountain gorillas. The trip was organised by Sander, who was very responsive and very friendly answering our questions before putting together a fantastic itinerary. We could not have imagined a better trip and we are very thankful for this wonderful experience. We are amazed at the beautiful and lush landscape and the majestic animals we have seen in the parks. Have your phones and cameras ready whilst driving in the car as you are very likely to spot interesting wildlife and birds.
We especially want to thank our wonderful guide David Otto, who is a fantastic driver and knows nearly everything about the country and its animals. He was always friendly and on time and took very good care of us! If you are thinking of visiting Uganda, definitely book with Grassrootz Adventures for an unforgettable trip.

Sander organised a great tour, and Barnice was fantastic guide that taught us a lot about Uganda.
A fantastic one-week tour of Uganda visiting Mgahinga, Bwindi, and QEP. The trip was organised by Sander, who was extremely responsive and put together a great proposal in record time. Our tour guide, Barnice, was very friendly and professional. Barnice is a very competent driver and knows nearly every tiny little detail of the country and its animals, so have your questions at the ready.

A great adventure from start to finish
I've just had 16 days of adventures with Grassrootz, just amazing from start to finish!
The first contact and Sander's quick replies immediately convinced me. The program he put together was great. It was very varied and I was motivated to experience something new every day.
On site, Paul was my guide and driver, a great guy! He knows his stuff very well, was always on time and is a good driver. I always felt safe with him. He has a broad knowledge, is well connected with others (if a lion or something was sighted) and it never got boring with him. You can tell he loves his job!
Many thanks to the entire team at Grassrootz

Great company, we liked everything:)
I want to express my deep gratitude to Sander, Ann, our driver Moses and the entire Grassrootz Adventures company for an unforgettable trip to beautiful Uganda! Our journey to Uganda was long, scheduled for March 2020, we had to postpone the trip 2 times due to covid, but finally, in October 2022, it took place. We have been to several places. First of all, this is the forest of Bwindi with beautiful mountain gorillas. We also visited Lake Bunyoni, Lake Albert, cruised the Nile and hiked to Murchinson Falls. Our trip went smoothly, Grassrootz staff always promptly resolved all issues. We regret only one thing, that we had so little time in this beautiful country. We wish prosperity to Grassrootz Adventures and the pearl of Uganda! Highly recommended to other travelers.

All was good arranged
The trip was excellent. The wildlife was intens beautiful and the people were ever so kind. Our tourguide took perfectly care of us. Everything was good arranged!
The one thing that was a bit stressful was that we didn’t know you needed a negative pcr test before traveling out of Oeganda. Luckily there was a testing place on the airport of Entebbe. Because we were on time (as the testresults take an hour), we had time enough to catch our plane. A better communication about this would have been perfect.

Unforgettable experience in Rwanda and Uganda
My friend and I recently completed an 18 day private trip through Rwanda and Uganda with Grassrootz and would highly recommend them. Zander planned a very thorough trip, including a wide mix of parks, scenery and cultural activities. Our driver/guide Barnice was excellent and tried to make the whole experience interesting, educational and fun. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He was fantastic at spotting wildlife and we saw lots of birds and animals, including the big 5. The highlights of our trip though was seeing the amazing mountain gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda, the chimpanzees in Kibale Forest NP and the golden monkeys in the Volcanoes NP in Rwanda. The lodges and camps we stayed in were mid range and all had electricity and hot water; some even had swimming pools! The staff at all these places were very friendly and helpful. We travelled quite a distance in the 18 days, over some dreadful roads and always felt safe due to the care and professionalism of Barnice. His attention to detail helped make our trip a wonderful success. Thank you Barnice and Grassrootz!
