Excelent
It was a really pleasure to travel around with Frank Wataka. First to the West part of Uganda to experience the real village life and after that one week to the North part of Uganda around Moroto. Totally 2 different parts if Uganda. It was really a fantastic time. Thank you very much Frank. Guiding is your passion and it was making our trip unforgettable, because you have connections every were in Uganda and it was amazing that it was not a touristic tour but really local. That was our wish and you arranged everything very well.
Webale munonga mukwano Frank.
Best regards Irma from the Netherlands

A Safari you will not forget for a lifetime
The safari was made through the northern part of Uganda and it each day was well planned. The accomodation was perfect and the driver of that tour was a gem you are lucky to have. All in all it was a tour we will not forget for a very long time.

Great communication, very reliable!
It was super easy organizing the trip with Frank, he was receptive to all my interests and my bucket list (and there were many), speaks great english, and its very knowledgeable about his country and east africa in general. Maybe not the cheapest option but need to consider the Great service and reliability. I highly recommend him!

Dedicated, knowledgeable and an excellent advocate for Ugandas natural beauty.
The trip we did with Frank Tours was an extensive journey anti clockwise around Uganda over 21 days. We started in Entebbe and spent the first week exploring the eastern side visiting Jinja, Sipi Falls, Moroto and Kidepo.
From there we visited Murchison Falls, Kibale and Queen Elizabeth National Park before heading to Bwindi to see the Gorillas, then onto Lake Bunyoni, Rwakobo Rock then back to Entebbe to fly out.
We loved that Frank had such fantastic local knowledge and engaged local guides to take us on walks, to visit small communities and even take us to their homes. Our itinerary was flexible to a certain degree meaning we could swap activities or cancel a game drive if we needed a quiet morning. Nothing was too much trouble for Frank.
We felt we gained a deeper insight into Ugandan life through this more extensive tour.
All the Lodges chosen by Frank were in stunning locations with very helpful staff and great food. From cleaning our boots to washing our clothes nothing was too much trouble.
The tour included the favoured Ugandan highlights such as the Chimps and Gorillas but Uganda is so much more than this.
Sitting in a small wooden canoe watching the sunset on Lake Bunyoni and hiking up Mt Moroto with a local guide for me was as great an experience as the chimps and gorillas.

Exceptional person on an unforgettable holiday in Uganda !
Frank is a very knowledgeable, reliable and caring person who took us on a fabulous trip through his country. He knows the places to go (local bars, local restaurants, schools, tribes, nice lodges,...) and gave us a true 'local' experience.
The trip was much more than 'just a safari'. He really brought us in close contact with the local culture as well. We had unforgettable encounters that we would never have lived without Frank.
He drove us through the fabulous national parks of Sipi Falls, Kidepo, Murchison, Queen Elisabeth, Bwindi, Lake Mburo, always looking for big and small animals. He will do everything he can to spot the 'big 5' and to give you an exceptional wild life experience. And on top of that, he is a bird watcher and photographer. He will always look for the right place to allow you to take that one fabulous picture.
From the very first contact (via email and Zoom) one can tell the professionalism of Frank. He will do everything to accommodate the tour to your wishes.
And to make it complete: Frank is a very warm person with a lot of fine humor.
No doubt that we will go back to Uganda and certainly it will be with Frank as our tour guide!

Lucky we found Frank Tours Uganda
Frank was very quick and patient in responding to all my email and questions. He helped us book an amazing tour that suited our interest.
So early 2020 we booked that tour for January 2021. Frank got the gorilla and chimpanzee permits, booked all the lodges and we paid 30% deposit.
Then Covid really hid and we were in lock down.
So naturally we were worried how much money we will loose, but Frank was able to cancel all bookings and rebooked for us the same tour without any extra costs one year later!
2022 we finally traveled with Frank 16 days through Uganda, saw 6 different Natl. Parks and thanks to Franks eyesight spotted more animals and birds, that we hoped for. Frank is a pleasure to be with, he tried to find for us every animal we wanted to see. He goes beyond his duties, so when we didn’t see much in the Ishasha area of the Queen Elizabeth Park he organised research trackers which were not on the itinerary and we found the tree climbing lions and a leopard.
From arriving at the airport till our last day of the trip Frank took good care of us.
We can't recommend Frank highly enough, he provided us with an exceptional African experience.
