Perfect Honeymoon
5/5

My husband and I have recently returned from our Ugandan honeymoon organised perfectly to the last detail by Kevin at Experience Uganda. The trip was amazing stunning scenery, wonderful lodges, exceptional food, gracious & warming hospitality & a fun & memorable itinerary. From my initial communication with Experience Uganda it has been 100%, the advice received was both helpful & reassuring. Kevin put together an amazing itinerary incorporating everything we wanted to see & do with some added surprises along the way. He was a wonderful host & an expert organiser. I am so glad we booked with Experience Uganda, everything was in hand & we were able to sit back, relax & spot all the animals on safaris (land, boat, cycling & walking) & tracking (gorillas & chimps) that we were keen to see. Our guide was also great telling us about the country's history & culture. I would definitely book again with Experience Uganda and would not hesitate in recommending there knowledge & passion to creating a memorable trip to anyone. The best trip we have ever been on by far! Thank you very much Kevin & Leslie.

5 Days in Nature
5/5

I traveled to Uganda for a five day experience. It was fantastic. We had a private driver to take us across the countryside, he spoke excellent English, was always positive, a safe driver, and informative. Each day had the right mix of adventure and time to relax. Saw the chimps in Kigale, safari'd in Queen Elizabeth National Park, and of course could almost reach out and touch the gorillas in Biwindi. The food and service at each place that we stayed was top notch. Thank you for such a well planned vacation!

Wonderful experience with Experience Uganda Tours
5/5

We did a 3-Day, fly-in mountain gorilla trekking in Bwindi and Kevin gave us a very good package deal. The communication was perfect, from before leaving home till after we were back in Kampala. It was very nice to meet Kevin and Leslie at their welcoming guest house at the beginning of this wonderful experience. Everything was well organized, the gorilla permits, flights, transfers, accommodation and the service was exceptionally good. We stayed in Karibu Guest house in Entebbe with lovely rooms, swimming pool and garden, the dinner fantastic. We also loved Engagi Lodge in Bwindi with the beautiful views and river walk, great hospitality & friendly staff and delicious food. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable and relaxing safari. Thank you!! We highly recommend Experience Uganda Tours.

Trip of a lifetime in Uganda
5/5

We recently returned from a week in Uganda and it was one of our best vacation experiences ever. Between the two of us we travel often (over 70 countries) and have done a safari previously in Africa but the trip set up by Experience Uganda ranks right up at the top. From the moment we arrived at the airport until the final day we left, Kevin and his team took fantastic care of us and we could tell they pay close attention to every detail. We couldn't give our personal guide Michael a higher recommendation. His knowledge of the area, friendliness, passion for the wildlife, patience, and sense of humor made for a wonderful time. We never once worried about where we were headed next or meals and lodging because Michael had everything so well organized. We just sat back and enjoyed the beautiful countryside and incredible wildlife. The chimpanzees, tree lions, and gorilla tours were among our favorite days as we're sure they are with most, but even in the time between activities we were able to visit locals, stop by an orphanage, and experience a lot of the area that we'll remember just as much. It really was a trip that we'll never forget and I'm certain that was in large part to the service and quality provided by Experience Uganda. I would generally attempt to include a few negatives about a trip as well but if there was any at all it would be that we cut it too short and would have benefitted from an extra day or two down in Rwanda. We can't thank Kevin and Michael enough!!

Very professional staff and excellent follow up before during and after the trip.
5/5

We had experience Uganda to organize safari, gorilla tracking and a nice resort for relaxing. Our trip from Geneva to Entebbe could have started better not missing connection flight and luggage. However, Experience Uganda followed up and arranged transport of luggage with a small domestic airline to our safari location (Queen Elizabeth national park) upon arrival. They had identified an outstanding guide not only very knowledgeable but also very pleasant. Having been on many safaris before I learnt a lot. The same guide took us to the place of the gorilla tracking and was able to have us in a group tracking a family not close to the departure place (we wanted to walk as well). This was indeed an experience which could now be ticked off the bucket list. Experience Uganda had booked a very nice lodge near Jinja in the middle of the Nile. Here we had different activities we could choose. We took rafting which was very special and great fun. We very very much pleased with the organization and support we had from Experience Uganda. The trip was very well organized and without any hiccups after arrival. Would strongly recommend them.

An exhilarating yet humbling once-in-a-lifetime experience!
5/5

Kevin and his team were extremely organized and the communication lines between each step were intricately connected to create a smooth journey from one area to another, one experience to another. He helped us coordinate our personal adventures that can only be experienced in uganda but ask went above and beyond to assist us and help us get connected with people to assist us along the way with multiple community outreach events. It would have taken over 5 months for us to plan it all on our own but without kevin's help, we had a master plan in one month. Thank you Kevin!!

Uganda made extra special
5/5

Uganda is a very special country to visit, and our trip was made extra memorable because Kevin from Experience Uganda put together a great itinerary for us. He responded very promptly to queries and helped with visa application. He not only booked great lodges for us as part of our gorilla trek, he also booked better room categories. At the Nkuringo Lodge, he reserved cottages for us which made the entire trip good value for money. After our Nkuringo gorilla trek, we did a short trek across Bwindi to the Buhoma Lodge. We were well taken care of and had totally stress-free experience.

We had a few hours before catching our flight home, Kevin was kind enough to allow us the use of a day room and host us at his lovely Karibu Guest House. We are very happy to have entrusted our Uganda tour in the capable hands of Experience Uganda!

Experience Uganda- Delivers Beyond Your Wildest Dreams
5/5

Kevin and Leslie provided us with a bespoke Uganda from the frenzy If Kampala to the majestic Mountain Gorillas (how did you manage to cue the forest elephants!).
With our wonderful guide Sam we expedienced a remarkable range of wildlife. Lions, elephants, chimps and gorillas plus the wonderful birds of Africa. You must book with Experience Uganda it is by far the best.

Faultless. Outstanding individual care and attention to meet our objectives.
5/5

From the very beginning, Kevin's responsiveness gave confidence that we could rely on him to arrange a trip to remember. We were not disappointed. His care to fit all our objectives into the time we had available made every day full of excitement. His staff matched his own commitment as did the safari guides and overnight facilities he selected. Anyone looking to make a trip of a lifetime in Uganda should not go past organising it through Experience Uganda.
