Exceptional planning and execution - made our Uganda / Rwanda safari a dream holiday
5/5

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
5/5

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!
5/5

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
5/5

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!!! :)

Very professional and people that you can relay on.
5/5

I recently had the pleasure of booking a safari with TrueVine Safaris, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the initial communication to the end of the tour, everything was top-notch.

The communication with TrueVine Safaris was exceptional. They were prompt, courteous, and always ready to answer any questions I had. Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate my preferences made me feel confident and comfortable throughout the booking process.

Once on the safari, the service provided by TrueVine Safaris exceeded my expectations. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about showcasing the beauty of the natural world. Their expertise added depth to the experience, and I learned so much about the wildlife and ecosystems we encountered.

In terms of value for money, TrueVine Safaris truly delivers. The quality of the accommodations, transportation, and activities far surpassed what I expected for the price. I felt like I was getting incredible value for every dollar spent.

Reliability is another area where TrueVine Safaris shines. Everything ran like clockwork, from airport transfers to game drives. I never had to worry about a thing, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the experience without any stress or hassle.

And of course, the tour itself was unforgettable. TrueVine Safaris took me to breathtaking locations, where I had the opportunity to see iconic wildlife up close and personal. It was a journey filled with awe-inspiring moments that I will cherish for a lifetime.

Overall, I can't recommend TrueVine Safaris highly enough. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or embarking on your first safari adventure, TrueVine Safaris will exceed your expectations in every way. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Bernard Mugisha, owner of Truevine Safari was the best guide/tour operator we have ever had!!!
5/5

Without a doubt, Bernard Mugisha, owner of Truevine Safari, provided us with the best family adventure we could ever had imagined. Starting with our pick up at the airport and continuing on throughout our 10 day Ugandan safari, Bernard was amazing/knowledgable/charming-a true pleasure to be with 24/7 with our family. It's also a tribute to him that our 18 and 20 year old daughters also loved Bernard and it truly felt like he was a part of our family for this trip of a lifetime. The service provided on this trip was 5 star but amazingly enough, it was very affordable.

I can't express enough how much Bernard was a huge piece of our bucket list trip-and can't imagine our trip without him!! Todd
