Bella is the best
Bella is the most loyal, friendly and funny tourguide in Africa. She really takes al her effort to give you a nice trip. She also has lots of knowledge about Africa and is willing to share this with you. Book her with her driver Bashir and you will nog regret it. She is the best!

Wonderful safari with lovely tourguide and driver!
It has been five months since I'm back in Holland and I am still dreaming about Uganda and our trip with Bella Africa Safaris. Bella, the tourguide and Bashir, the driver, have been really good to us. We absolutely loved every single minute with them. Bella is a pro in organizing safaritrips. In advance, we spoke about our budget and what we wanted to see in a short period of time. Bella booked lovely luxury lodges with really good food, nice safaritents, beautiful scenery and really nice hikes within our budget.
Bella knows a lot about the Ugandan wildlife, the birds, the species, the landscape. Bashir is a great driver and a really nice guy. We felt totally save with them. Because of Bella's years of experiences with safaris she knows a lot of people within the tourist circle. She can arrange almost everything you want. She knows what Dutch tourists like on their holiday and that's her aim.
I can write for hours about Bella Africa Safaris but believe me: you will not regret it. Bella Africa Safaris is unique and nothing like you ever experienced before. Trust me on that!

Bella knows exactly how to best enjoy your holiday!
I believe Bella was born for tourism. She knows a lot about the country, the people, the landscape, the history etc. She is superfriendly, very helpfull and knows what real service is. Paying attention not only to you as a person but also having a close eye to the way the group enjoys the holiday. She is open minded, interested in other cultures, behaviors and people. She knows exactly what real customer service is. If you are looking for an excellent safari and someone who offers much more than other safari companies do, I strongly recommend Bella. She really makes the difference!
Amazing experience
Bella africa were amazing throughout the entire experience from the planning to the actual trip. The team was flexible and I had no communication problems (Thanks to Juliet who helped me plan the trip!). We had a complicated itinerary for three people but everything was organised perfectly for us and everything went so smoothly. A special thank you to our guide Micheal Lutembe and Ritah. They were excellent, funny and great company. The guide was also very knowledgeable and made sure everything was perfect for us at every point of the trip making the trip stress free.
Bella has done a great job starting this company and supporting women in this field. Hope Bella goes on to employ more female guides to enter the field and to grow the company further.
Uganda is a beautiful country! Can't wait to come back one day. Would definitely recommend Bella Africa Safaris to anyone wanting to visit Uganda!

Amazing Tour with Bella Safari Africa
We had an 8-day trip (Bwindi, QEP, Kibale, Lake Mburo). The trip was perfectly organized and our Guide Bella - she is also the owner of the company - made the whole trip to an unforgettable and amazing experience. Bella worked for a huge Safari company for years and started her own business last year.
Even though some drives were long (we wanted to see as many things as possible in 8 days), they didnt feel that long, because Bella told us all about the History and the Culture of this beautiful Country. Since Bella is the only female Guide in Uganda, everyone in the safari business knows her, wich makes travelling with her a lot of fun.
Uganda itself has so many different landscapes, so its hard to choose a favourite, but of course, seeing the gorillas in Bwindi is something you wont forget your whole life. Bella will send you a List of things you will need for the Gorilla tracking after you confirm the booking and be advised to take all this stuff with you, because you will go through some serious Ugandan Jungle.
If you want to taste some traditional Ugandan food, tell Bella, she knows some really great Places. Rolex and Matoke are delicious!
The next time I go to Uganda - and there will be a next time - i most definately go with Bella Safari Africa again. I can only recommend this company to anyone, who want´s to experience Uganda in all its amazing parts an details.

When you go to Uganda, travel with Bella!!!
When you visit Uganda, you must book a safaritrip with Bella Africa. Bella is making sure you will have a great time. We really enjoyed ourselves during our six day safari (Murchison National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park and Lake Mburo National Park). You only have to do one thing: book, fly to Uganda, step in the car, relax and enjoy! Bella will do the rest.
There was only one problem: the time was too short and we didn't want to leave Bella and our driver.

Amazing Adventure...Visiting with the magnificent Mountain Gorillas....my dream come true!!!
I am a single female traveller. I had the most wonderful trip. Bella and Justine were very prompt in replying to my communications, any adjustments that i wanted to make... I wanted to trek with the Mountain Gorillas twice....these additions to the itinerary were not a problem. The accommodations were so lovely and the food, I am gluten free, was delicious. I couldn't have asked for better guides than Amanda & Moses, they were magnificent! The safari was like 3 friends travelling together.....I had the most wonderful time. I am planning my next trip to the "Pearl of Africa". I can hardly wait to revisit with the magnificent Mountain Gorillas. Amazing Amazing Amazing! Thank you Bella Africa Safaris.

Everything you dream of and more
We had already been looking forward to the Safari and were very confident about what to expect thanks to the great reviews and the good contact with Bella and her staff before the trip. Nonetheless, we were still pleasantly surprised.
Our guide Suleiman was friendly, knowledgeable, reliable and fulfilled our every wish. Every game drive he tried his best to show us as many animals as possible. When our car broke down (something that can always happen on the difficult African roads) he drove us as far as we could and organised another car that picked us up so that we only arrived a few hours later than planned at our destination.
The lodges were absolutely top notch and each one unique: An outdoor restaurant at the banks of the Nile, an infinity pool overlooking the infinity of the Savannah, balconies with a view over the mountains, great service, good food. Two of us were fasting and all hotels catered breakfast for us before dawn.
And that all for an amazing price: We got a private tour for four people at a price that would have not even gotten us a group tour in any of the more explored countries.
That brings me to the last point of the review: The beautiful country Uganda. Initially we were also looking at the more famous countries for Safaris. However, we are very happy that somebody recommended Uganda to us. Not only is it way warmer than Southern Africa at the time that we travelled, it is also still not as explored as neighbouring Kenya or Tanzania. Which makes it cheaper and less touristy. We saw plenty of elephants, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, bulls and a few lions (even the rare kind that sit on trees). We even got to see a hyana and two jackals. We got to walk with Zebras and saw a bush baby and a civet cat during a night safari. And Uganda has two highlights that none of the other popular Safari destinations have: Chimpanzees and Gorillas. The permits alone cost 150 and 600 Dollars. Bella includes these fees in her tour package price, making it even more bang for the buck. I am usually a person that prefers individual traveling to tours and I have never been so happy to hand the organisation over to a tour operator.
All four of us can highly recommend to do a tour with Bella and her great guides. Thank you Suleiman, Bella and team for a great time!
