Unforgettable adventure with Bella Africa safaris
We truly had an amazing time in Uganda. Our guide Bella showed us only the best of what the country has to offer, in true 'Hakuna Matata' style. From the thriving wildlife we got to see giraffe, elephants, lions, rhino's, zebra's, hippo's, crocodiles,.., to the impressive nature sights and intriguing village culture. The best way to discover the beauty of Africa, away from the mass touristic beaten path and traps. Uganda is called 'the Pearl of Africa' for it really IS a hidden gem!
My personal highlight was our encounter with the mountain gorilla's. Our hiking trip in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was breathtaking. Stumbling upon a gorilla nest an getting the chance to witness 2 blackbacks courting a female gorilla with her baby up in a tree bush was nothing less than magical. We were even lucky enough to stand just merely 2 meters away from the head honcho of the pack, the infamous silverback gorilla, who gloriously presented himself. Goosebumps all the way! The permit may be quite expensive, but take my word, it's worth every penny!
Everything was taken care of by Bella. She was always punctual, very friendly and concerned about our needs. Above all that she treated us like friends every step of the way, be it during travelling by jeep, boat or on foot. I would highly recommend Bella Africa's services. The rates are more than reasonable and you get to explore the country with somebody's who's skilled and truly passionate about the country, its nature and culture.
Highly recommended!

Beautiful experience!
We had a very good time in Uganda, most of all because of our excellent guide Bella!
We did a round trip in Uganda with a wide variety of activities: visiting locals, Natural Parks, nature, ....
Everything we asked was no problem for Bella, all problems/questions were solved with a smile!
A smile we will never forget!!
If we go back to Africa, it will certainly be with Bella!
Thank you for everything!!
Would love to go back!
We did a six day safari trip in December 2015. I loved the trip Bella organized for us. I would love to go back and explore more parts of Uganda. Like other reviews say: Bella is the best!

Bella is a very passionate and friendly woman doing her utmost.
Together with my daughter who is doing an internship in Uganda, we have done a beautiful safari with Bella.
My daughter had "discovered" Bella through friends. She is full of passion to serve its customers and to ensure a memorable trip. As a young Ugandan woman and her great knowledge of her profession she is a true winner to us. She is also a nice woman to deal with and she is a good conversationalist with her knowledge and intellect. Bella, thank you for this nice trip. Shame we had to say goodbye .

BEST SAFARI EXPERIENCE WITH BELLA....
Despite the pandemic, as countries are slowly opening up, I took a solo trip to uganda to try and relax despite the chaos in the world, so I needed a safari company that works with women in particular, a friend of mine recommended Bella Africa Safaris, so I checked them out and I was kinda put off by some of the negative reviews, either way I decided to contact them and right from the start our back and forth email exchange with Bella herself was really great and efficient, I decided to book with her though I was abit skeptical at first but she really out did herself. She gave me value for my money, my 15 days in Uganda were really the best, we visited the great murchison falls, amazing magnificent falls, Queen Elizabeth park, Kidepo park, lake mburo and above all the highlight was the Gorillas for me... maintaining the guidelines for covid was key right from the airport, Uganda is really beautiful with very friendly happy people and am glad to have ticked it off my bucket list. Thank you Bella Africa Safaris for making my trip a memorable one, I sure will come back with you next time. It's an amazing experience being driven and guided by a woman. I recommend you to all female travelers. Thank you again Bella!!

Most exciting fun filled family trip with the best guide ever.
We are an Arab family from Uea(Dubai) and we where so hesitant to travel to Africa (uganda) at first but when someone recommended Bella to us, and we saw our package and the way Bella drafted it out to suit and involve all of us for the activities, it was wow.Our three children didn't miss any of the activities..
We saw various animals all the big fives in mfnp.our favorites where the beautiful giraffes and elephants.
The waterfalls is so amazing.
Bella is so knowledgeable and passionate about her job, she kept on checking if we where comfortable and where having fun and if where enjoying the meals too.
She bought for us fresh fruits like bananas and really sweet pineapples.
The whole trip was so memorable.
Thank you so much Bella.

An amazing way to visit Uganda
My sister and I travelled through Uganda for 13 days with Bella Africa Safaris. We had an amazing time with our guide Ronnie. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, fun and always making sure we had a great time. The team was very helpful in organizing a tailor-made safari for us.
We loved the country and the overall experience with the cmpany. The only thing we would have liked different was that the tour program given beforehand was more detailed and accurate. Sometimes it was not entirely reflecting of what was happening or included in each day.
Overall we definitely recommend to visit Uganda with Bella Africa Safaris.

Bella Safari exceeded all expectations; it was the trip of a life time!
From the moment we selected Bella Safari we were pleased. We were immediately greeted and welcomed by the team on both email and WhatsApp. Our and worries were set aside. We put 110% trust in Bella and her team and were not disappointed.
We honestly did not know what to expect however, from the start our loving driver and guide Donah put us under her wing and made sure that we were comfortable and cared for. I cannot imagine a better experience. The sights were amazing and the accommodations perfect. We were awed and inspired by the beautiful country and people.
This was going to be our one and only trip to Uganda. We are now talking to family and friends about a repeat.
The smiles and memories that we carry with us are without a doubt due to this experience. We would choose Bella Safari and Donah over and over and over.
