Best tour I've done so far. 10/10.. And these countries are amazing!
What an experience! This was my best adventure trip so far! Richard was the best guide ever, really knowledgeable, friendly and really greatdriver. He did all he could to provide the best experience, best views, and information. That made the whole tour 10 times better!
The tour itself isvery well organized the lodges are fantastic, with great staff everywhere. Things went perfectly according to plan and iwas really happy with the overall experience. Felt that Wild Travel Safaris and Richard are very well established and plan really well. Theyalso have great guides for these tours.
Would highly highly recommend such tour and Richard as a guide. He was fantastic!

Two-day Gorilla Trek and Tour
We booked a gorilla trek through Wild Travel Safari, and it was amazing. My wife and I were picked up by a driver (Edwin) from our hotel in Kigali. Edwin was there exactly at the time we'd arranged. He was polite and clearly explained what we`d be doing, We stopped at the Kigali Genocide Memorial and from there drove to Bwindi Bakiga Lodge. On the way, we crossed at the Katuna border. Edwin helped make sure we got through easily - we had purchased our Ugandan Visas ahead of time. The Lodge was great - we got there around 5pm. Dinner was included, and so was breakfast. Early the next morning, we went to the start point where we were given the overview of what to expect. The hike took about 1.5 hours to find the gorillas. They were so amazing. Six of us on the hike plus three guides and porters. We got about 1.5 hours with the gorillas, saw babies, juveniles, females, and the silverback. It was one of the single greatest experiences of our livesthe walkout took about 2 hours. From there, Edwin drove us to Queen Elizabeth National Park. It was a very long drive, but Edwin was an excellent driver.
Our experience with Wild Travel Safaris couldn't have been better. Richard and his staff were clear, responsive, and able to make our trip an incredible experience. Iwould have no hesitation in using them again and would highly recommend them!!

7 days trip – an absolutely phantastic tour operator
Bright was a great, professional guide, driver, and also a good friend during our tour. We had a lot of fun all the 7 days, got much information and a perfectly organized tour – always in time, with great selected lodges. I felt always safe and comfortable during the entire trip.
I contacted Richard via WhatsApp just in time – all arrangements were via WhatsApp. For the payment, he shared a link for credit cards. All worked perfectly.
When i arrived in Entebbe- Bright my Guide was there to welcomed welcome me. This tour was absolutely worth the money. I loved the car, the gorilla tour, the chimpanzees, and all the donations to the village.

I experienced a professional and outstanding service that was flexible and catered for my requiremen
I found this a great personal and value for money experience that was unforgettable. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard as a guide, he was considerate, knowledgeable and had everything covered from the moment I arrived. He organized all my trips and accommodation without me having to worry about anything. I felt safe throughout and I was able to get the best out of all the experiences without having to worry about minor details. I had amazing primate experiences but even enjoyed other additional community experiences that I didn’t expect to. All my accommodations were wonderful and each had a different style but all were good. The food ranged from good to excellent and catered well for my special vegetarian diet. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour company and hope to book them again to explore some more of Uganda at a later date. 😃

Brilliant
Richard was an amazing tour guide. From the first email to our final goodbye attention was paid to every detail to make our safari a wonderful once in a lifetime experience.
It was so much fun traveling around Uganda with someone so knowledgeable about the country. We learnt so much. The safari itself was unreal. Richard had everything planned perfectly and was also able to be flexible enough to add little extras in that would be of interest to us.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard, he was wonderful and trip was wonderful. We also happened to be there during the World Cup and again Richard arranged for my hubby to be able to watch games at as many lodges he could in advance and even went as far to organize dinners with a tv there as he knew we would enjoy that at the end of a busy day. We never asked for that it again is just an example of how special Richard tried to make our experience.
We were sad saying goodbye to Richard and really felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend.
If you want a once in a lifetime travel experience do not hesitate to contact Richard @ Wild Travel Safari you will not be disappointed.

Amazing guide to Uganda!!
I can't recommend this operator enough!!
We contact Richard about a month+ before our trip and from the first conversation we knew we want him to be our guide and organize our trip in Uganda, and it was the best decision we had made!
Richard was very communicative and answered all our question and wonderings.
We had an 11 day trip in Uganda with Richard which were tailored made to our preferences. Richard organized all our accommodations (and they were excellent!), tours and permit. The organization was flawless and Richard made sure everything will go smooth and we'll have everything we need.
We had a few Game Drives with Richard (in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth National Parks) that were above everything we expected!
Richard did above and beyond in order to make sure we'll see all big 5 and all other animals.
Richard is a great driver and we felt really safe in the long drives we had with him.
the vehicle was in great shape and very spacious.
Richard is very knowledgeable about Uganda wildlife and culture and we learned a lot from him.
I highly recommend using Richard as your guide in Uganda!
Thank you Richard for unforgettable trip. Can't wait to come back!!

Dreams came true!
The tour was fantastic from the beginning (starting from booking) till our farewell in Entebbe Aiport! We took '7-Day Gorilla Tracking Chimpanzees & Big Five Wildlife' and added one day more for visiting Mburo Lake National Park. It was the only one tour I found with such a perfectly schedualed route for 7 days - from Murchison Falls NP to Bwindi NP, we've seen all wildlife highlights, including 10 spiecies of primates!
Richard is an amazing and experienced guide, very knowledgeable and with a good eye for a wildlife, the best driver for windy and bumpy local roads and a great companion. Any problem that occcured during the way was smoothly solved and thanks to Richard we had very private, individual gorilla and chimpanzee trackings. All accomodations were very comfortable and the only one our regret was that we coulnd't stay longer than one night!
During our long tour we had a chance to compare Wild Travel Safaris&Adventures to other operators that made us sure that Richard's service is absolutely excellent and exceptional and it was the best choice. Thank you for unforgettable experience!

Murchison Falls Park 2 day safari 5 stars
Two colleagues and I were in Uganda for World Health Symposium.
We found Wild Travel Safari on line. Their online chat feature was very responsive, and we took the plunge.
An AMAZING trip! From pickup to drop off at hotel in Entebbe, everything was smooth and hassle free. Manager Richard handled logistics. Fabulous guy.
We chose the Land Cruiser option, perfect for 3.
Our driver and guide, Arnold, is exceptional. Excellent driver, easy conversation replete with cultural tidbits, mini language lessons, and insights on flora, fauna, and birds.
Arnold knows his stuff - he is the consummate Safari Guide - to him it is his lifelong passion
From pick up to drop off at hotel in Entebbe, Every detail was covered
Safari guide is his lifelong passion.
5 Stars. Excellent service
ARNOLD was our driver and guide. He is pleasant, patient, interactive, and resourceful, an easy conversationalist, full of cultural tidbits and mini language lessons! Safari Guiding is his passion
The car came with a case of water. CLEAN Rest Stops along the way :)
The package included entry to the Reserve Park, all meals, overnight stay, all travel. AND photos!
A quick lunch before Arnold dropped us at boat ride along the White Nile heading to Murchison Falls Hippos and crocs along the banks. Murchison Falls a true wonder. We opted to be dropped off at base of Falls to attempt the trek up to top of Falls a 45-60 minute hike, up steps hewn in rock. Handrails help!
Arnold met us at top, bearing freshly cut pineapple and watermelon - perfect refreshment after the hot climb!
With LandCruiser roof elevated, we took first Game Drive through the reserve : antelopes and other light footed creature, , water buffalo, giraffes, elephants. Arnold stopped thé car as needed to observe and take photos.
We watched as the Full Moon rose from one horizon, and the sun set on the other... truly breathtaking.
On to our lodgings for the night. We had chosen low budget. A lovely sweet group of individual huts
awaited us, each equipped w bathroom, and mosquito netted beds. And then a most delicious dinner.
Early next morning, with breakfast and coffee in tow,the 2nd Game Drive.
Wow. We travelled on small dirt roads on the Savannah. Arnold is an amazing tracker. We saw close up giraffes, elephants, bashful hyenas. And more.
And then....the prize.. a pride of lions, lounging along the road, simply unreal.
The ride back to hotel interspersed with village markets and rural life.
ARNOLD is a pro, a friendly and gentle and generous soul as is his Manager Richard. Both get FIVE STARS!
