Exceptional planning and execution - made our Uganda / Rwanda safari a dream holiday
We had an amazing experience with TrueVine - a team with the right blend of Experience, Energy and Enthusiasm. It started with the trip planning - very diligent and meticulous, and responsive communication. Despite the short notice, all permits were in place ... excellent choice of lodging, in line with our taste. Almost every detail was taken care of - ensuring that lodges provided us a good veg spread, ensuring the distance from the lodge to the trek start point is minimal. They even went the extra mile - sorting out some last minute visa challenges we had with Uganda immigration, taking extra care when one of us fell ill briefly - they tweaked the itinerary to ensure we didn't miss anything.
A special mention for our driver-guide, Patrick. A terrific combination of expert knowledge, safe driving, people networks and friendly disposition. During our drives between National Parks , he would talk about the respective kingdoms, their natural resources , language, people etc. while in the national park, all about the plants / trees / animals / birds and the whole ecosystem. And the local food and experiences that he went out of the way to organize.
Thank you Douglas, Patrick and the TrueVine for creating this dream holiday for us.
We'll be counting on them for our trip to Congo.

Unforgettable experience with a reliable company
We did a 10 days private tour across Uganda with TrueVine and we loved it! Our guide Bernard is one of the most honest and trustworthy people I ever met. He is the guide you want for your trip in East Africa: very knowledgeable about the history, the nature and the culture of Uganda, an expert driver and he always did the extra mile to look for the animals. The car we had was strong and we never had problem with it despite most roads in Uganda are not paved. The itinerary was full of places to see and activities and it is completely customizeable according to your preferences. We chose the mid-range accomodations option and we really liked all the hotels we went, all clean closed to the parks and the food was always good. Highlights of the trip were definitely gorillas and chimps. We totally recommend this company for your trip in the pearl of Africa! They organize trips in all east africa and you will be able to include also few countries in your itinerary.

Above and beyond service!
I hired the company’s 14 seater for 3 weeks.. I can say that Banada and team were so amazing right from our booking throughout the time we spent with them. They are so courteous, paid attention to detail, and so flexible to accommodate the several needs and changes we had during the tour. They had small cars to accommodate short 1 person rides and the bigger cars that were comfortable for my entire family.

The best safari company
We had one of the most incredible experiences of our life!! Uganda is incredibly beautiful and Truevine gave us the flexibility of designing the itinerary together (big plus vs fixed itinerary companies), whilst keeping it extremely flexible, so that we could stop in case there was a new activity/place we were interested in.
They are extremely professional, Communication was extremely clear from the beginning, and their guides are super skilled. We traveled with Bernard, who’s the best and we can’t thank him enough - not one single question about the country and wildlife he didn’t have an answer too.
The gorilla trek was our highlight and indescribable.
If you are planning to visit central Africa, you should definitely book with them!!! :)

TrueVine gave us a thoughtful tailored plan to enjoy Uganda at its best
This was one of the best trips we’ve ever done! Uganda’s nature is absolutely stunning, and the whole journey was perfectly organized by TrueVine, from start to finish. Bernard was very responsive and made sure our wish could come true. The entire experience was smooth, memorable, and stressfree!
A special thank you to our driver and guide, Azaria, who made the experience truly exceptional. He was kind, knowledgeable, and always made us feel safe and cared for.
We’re leaving with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for both the country and its people. Highly recommended!

Once in a lifetime experience
Everything about this tour was fantastic. From the moment we were picked up, Bernard was supportive, informative and caring. The entire trip from start to end was great. Bernard went above and beyond to make sure everybody in our group had a good time and the trip exceeded our expectation.

Professional, considerate and punctual
We took a 3 day- 2 night gorilla trekking experience at Bwindi national park (Kigali - Entebbe). Bernard was well organised, very good at communicating everything and continually took care of us. We could not fault any part of the trip. He even tried to help when we had flight cancellations!
After travelling through east Africa prior, the experience with Bernard and TrueVine was exceptional. Definitely recommend for any person wanting a great experience.

Great tour of Rwanda
We had an amazing time in Rwanda thanks to TrueVine Safaris. We only had a short few days but Bernard was extremely helpful in helping us plan many fun activities for the trip! Gorilla and monkey trekking, boat ride on lake Kivu, mountain biking, fishing village and market visits, and more! Bernard also took time to call to explain costs and details of trip when needed - also very flexible. Krish was a wonderful guide and driver sharing great knowledge of the country. Highly recommend!

Very competent and professional....
When I was looking to make one of my dreams come true - to go and see the gorillas in Uganda - I searched the many websites and found a customised trip. It was the ‘’5-Day Primates and Wildlife Adventure in Uganda‘’ at a very reasonable price. It was the owner of the agency (TrueVine) himself who introduced us to this beautiful country. Mr Bernard is a really nice guy who knows the area very well.
I would recommend this destination with this agency without any hesitation.
Thank you Mr Bernard
