Unforgettable experience
Me and my husband contacted Uganda Safari Booking because it was his long-life dream to see the gorillas in Uganda. From the 5 companies we contacted, this one had the best package, but most of all, their replies were almost immediate. Justus was very responsive at all times of the day. We had many questions and suggestions and Justus was very prompt to accommodate our ideas in the short period of time we had for our trip. On our first day, we had a 10 hour drive from our hotel to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. Yes this drive can be made in less time, but we loved it since we had the opportunity to stop every time we wanted, to try local food and fresh fruits, say hello to the locals and visit small markets along the way.
The second day we did the Gorilla trekking and had the amazing surprise of finding a family of about 15 gorillas, including babies and 3 silver back males. We were much closer than we expected and the team that accompanied us was very helpful, making an extra effort to get us closer and clean some branches so we could take the best pictures.
On our third day, we visited Lake Bunyonyi, where we walked around the local market, interacted with the people in the village and visited 2 schools and one local hospital. This was an incredible experience as well, since it allowed us to see and experience Uganda in a manner we did not imagine. The people, the teachers, the kids, everyone was very sweet and welcoming.
On our last day we went back to Entebbe and were dropped on time for our late afternoon flight.
Overall, i would definitely recommend this company and this experience. Justus was friendly, helpful, accommodating, prompt to answer our emails and suggest the best options given our short trip. The hotels we stayed at (mid-range) and the safari car made the experience even more enjoyable. If you are considering a visit to Uganda, do not hesitate to contact this company.

I had a fantastic 5 days. Ashadu looked after me all the way. He was knowledgable, helpful, has an acute eye for spotting wildlife, energetic and fun. It was such an experience seeing so many species. I will definitely recommend.
