Unforgetable Safari
I got to know about Birds Nest Safaris through a friend, and booking our family trip with them was the best decision we made. With them we got the best out of our 9 day safari which would be fair to say that it was our money’s worth. Although we only had a few days but wanted the best out of them, the team managed to setup a suitable itenery for the different activities tailored to our needs. Moses our very friendly and hospitable tour guide picked us up from the airport and that marked the beginning of our adventurous and memorable safari in Uganda and Rwanda. I should say that he seemed knowledgeable about both countries and was able to answer all our questions, and above all we had a time of our lives, from the safari drives where we experienced wildlife first hand, to the ever happy and friendly locals, cultural diversity, weather and the greenness all around us, however the Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and the afternoon Boat cruise at Kazinga Channel stood out for us, it’s only fair to say that we fell in love with Uganda and Rwanda and will definitely be back. And we would not recommend any another Company apart from Bird's Nest Safaris. Travel Comfort!!!!!

Warm, welcoming and knowledgable staff. I felt taken care of and I enjoyed my time.
I appreciated Bird's Nest Safaris for their efficiency, transparency and welcoming atmosphere prior and during my time with them. They were very quick to respond when I reached out and answered my questions with great details. They definitely calmed my worries. Once I arrived at the airport, I received a warm welcome, helping me feel safe. The trip was about 10 days and we started at Murchison Fall National Park where I saw breathtaking views of elephants, giraffes, Warthogs and lots of birds. Then off to a boat cruise in the afternoon to see some Hippos and crocodiles. We went to Kibale National Park for Chimes then Queen Elizabeth's. Uganda and Rwanda are just so BEAUTIFUL. There was always so much to see and do, I was overwhelmed in a good way. I appreciated how knowledgeable the staff was and was able to answer all my questions. 10 out of 10 would recommend. I cannot wait to visit these beautiful countries again. The sights are incredible.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Found Bird's Nest Safaris through a friend and never regretted choosing this company and entrusted our Uganda Holiday program planning with Patience.
Patience is very hands-on, reliable, accurate and most importantly quick in response and fixing things. Upon arrival, Patience and our drive guide Ben were at the Airport to welcome us which warmed our hearts and made us feel at home in our very first day in Uganda.
We truly enjoyed our 14 days and 13 nights in Uganda everything ran smoothly.
The Gorillas and Chimpanzees were remarkably fulfilling. We are glad that we managed to see the families with the help of the friendly,very encouraging park rangers and porters. Patience did a good job in arranging our accommodations around the Lakes, Mountains and falls. The views were fascinating and the weather was nice and comfortable.
We will definitely recommend more friends and come back to Africa for another safari and Bird's Nest Safaris/Patience will be our go-to company/Person to plan our next adventure. We are thankful to Patience and Ben for the friendship and hospitality.
Keep it up the good work Patience and the Team, see you soon and God bless!

Gorilla and Chimpanzee Tracking with Bird's Nest Safaris was the most wonderful experience.
Bird's Nest Safaris services were excellent from the time we contacted Patience by Email. She responded to our Questions very accurately and promptly even though they were many she is really Patient like her name. She was immediate and on point and gave us options. Patience and our driver guide Mike welcomed us from the Airport and transfered us to our first Accommodation which we fell in love with because it was really amazing with breath-taking views. From the time we started talking to Patience and how we were welcomed at the Airport we already felt that really the trip was super organised and we were dealing with the perfect people.
Our skilled, very friendly and knowledgeable guide Mike made us to see everything we needed to see and much more, the stunning and beautiful sceneries of Uganda, he knows where and when to stop and patient with us while taking the pictures, the perfect and genuine smiles of the local people. Indeed Uganda you are the Pearl of Africa, He shared with us about Uganda's Culture and we really learnt a lot.
The accommodation we stayed in were top Notch and views were breath taking with the best services and tasty foods. Gorilla Tracking was the most wonderful experience than ever before.
We will and would recommend Bird's Nest Safaris to all travellers and a very BIG Thanks for making our Safari the very best and Memorable

Totally epic
About tours these guys surely know what they are doing and their vast knowledge about birds as their title clearly states is no slander. One week them around national parks in South Western uganda and the fun moments with the guides plus the wonderful Sceneries surely are the things i reckon from that amazing holiday my friends and i took into nature and its hidden secrets as our Guide used to say.
I can only say thank you guys for the wonderful moments.

Beyond expectations Safari
Thank you Bird's Nest Safaris for making our Safari incredibly memorable and we shall live to tell others about your service. From our first day we contacted you through Emails you had never let us down and disappointed us until the end of our Safari. we were a family of 4 people but from the time we landed at the Airport (Entebbe) we felt that everything was amazing, the warm welcome we received from our smart driver guide on arrival guaranteed us that our trip would be a success and amazing and indeed it was Memorable!!
Mountain Gorilla and Chimpanzee tracking were the main purpose of our trip and we really had great fun and we shall live to tell a story, not leaving out the afternoon Boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel with magnificent wildlife. Ooh Uganda you are beautiful, ever green with fascinating sceneries.
Our Lodges were excellent we really loved Kibale Forest Camp and Bush Lodge in Queen Elizabeth National Park with tasty food and fresh fruits. We also enjoyed the Market Life in Uganda.
And each of us enjoyed every moment of the trip, we saw a lot, beautiful nature, great rainforests, crater lakes and beautiful wildlife ( The Big Five).
We are very happy that we chose Bird's Nest Safaris for our 12 Day safari to Uganda. They are very quick to respond to any inquiries and Patience would keep checking on us whether we were enjoying our long waited safari.
One more thing I would not miss to mention is our Driver Guide Ben, we were extremely happy and lucky that he was our Guide. He was experienced, knowledgeable and taught us not only about wildlife and nature but also Uganda's Culture. And he arranged for us to visit one of the schools in Western Uganda.
We miss Uganda and we will be back and we will travel with Bird's Nest Safaris.
Team Bird's Nest Safaris We love You and Thanks for making our Safari are life time story.

ENCOUNTERING GORILLAS IN THE WILD FOR THE FIRST TIME.
My Fiancee and I went for a 6-days Gorilla tracking Safari Uganda - Rwanda in July 2018 with Bird's nest safaris.
The tour was nicely planned and reasonably priced. The hotels provided in the package were really nice with beautiful views, I personally enjoyed the drive through the country side. We were very fortunate to be guided by Brian who was more like a friend than just a guide. Even though we had language barrier with the local people , we were able to understand his explanation and he really took great care of us and most importantly ensured our safety.
Our Gorilla tracking experience in two countries (Bwindi impenetrable national parks Uganda and Volcanoes national park Rwanda) was really worth the price. You can imagine hitting two birds with one stone, our pick-up was in Uganda and the drop-off was in Kigali Rwanda thus visiting two countries in one package.
We enjoyed tracking different families of gorillas in different countries though on different occasions the silver backs were intimidating but we were also not ready to retreat Infact we enjoyed seeing the silver back trying to protect the family from intruders, making different vocals and beating of the air sacs was another thrilling moment . Golden monkies also made made our Safari more memorable. The interaction with the local communities and tasting of delicious local dishes (Matoke with G-nuts) was so wonderful.
Thank you Bird's nest safaris, we would definitely recommend our friends and family to contact you for planning their safaris in East Africa

Great Experience with Bird's Nest Safaris
were already looking forward to a Safari and we were confident about what to expect. Initially we had no Idea about Uganda until our friend recommended Uganda to us. Not only is Uganda warmer but also not yet fully explored. It really still has a lot to offer and a lot to see. On our 9 day safari we were able to see a lot of wildlife like herds of Elephants in big numbers , Buffaloes, Hippos in both Murchison falls National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park, lots of Giraffes in Murchison, Crocodiles and the Tree climbing Lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park. On our last day we were able to see the 3 Shoebill Stork in Mabamba wetland. While on a Night game drive we were able to see the Lioness with four cubs, Civet Cat and even got a chance to see the Jackal.
Our highlight of the safari that none of the other popular safari destination have were the Mountain Gorilla and Chimpanzee Tracking, this should be a must visit to every Tourist because it is worthy it, and we really had the unforgettable Experience.
The Lodges were absolutely perfect, neat, hospitable with friendly people, fresh and tasty food, the traditional dance while at the camp fire in Bush Lodge was excellently amazing. It was a safari beyond our expectations.
Our Guide Brain was great, knows so much about all the National Parks, good knowledge about all the animals we encountered, he does his job with full passion, knows everything about his country Uganda and above all his a very nice person and a careful driver on the Ugandan bumpy roads.
We recommend Bird's Nest Safaris to everyone that would wish to Travel for they are qualified and they know what they are doing and we wish to come back.
Thanks again for the great Trip!!!!!

A MUST VISIT UGANDA WITH BIRD'S NEST SAFARIS
We had an amazing safari with Bird's Nest Safaris.
The booking process was all handled wholesomely well through Email and everything went on well and promptly.
On landing at Entebbe Airport our driver/Guide was already happily waiting for us, welcomed us and transferred us to our lodge which gave us an overview and highlight of our 13 day Safari.
Our Driver Daniel was extremely reliable, knowledgeable and informed about his country Uganda and everything, very friendly and always available to answer all our questions and was almost a friend to everyone in the parks and lodges we went. On top of the Amazing Mountain Gorilla and Chimpanzee Tracking experience, we were also amazed on how our Driver/Guide Daniel spotted the distant Lions in the tree branches in Ishasha while doing a game drive.
We really enjoyed the routes taken, the wildlife, scenery and the stunning location of our Lodges with perfect views.
We experienced Uganda more than we ever expected and will return for sure.
Thanks to Bird's Nest Safaris/ Patience for making our Safari Memorable.

Amazing!
AMAZING SAFARI OF A LIFE TIME
From the moment we contacted Bird's Nest Safaris by Email we were never disappointed and we were pleased by the fast and swift response to our very many questions and adjustments to our Safari. Patience and the team are reliable, punctual and really know what they do from the office to the field. What makes them different from others is that, they are neither driven by the profit margins but the betterness and enjoyment of their client and the truth is we really had great time of our safari.
we were warmly welcomed from the Entebbe Airport by our driver Daniel who transferred us to our first Lodge and we loved everything from the start and this marked the start of our safari. From the first day to the last day we loved every moment with our Guide, cracking jokes while driving on the African Massage Roads and he really knew our tastes and preferences, showed us everything the Big Fives of Africa. It was amazing doing a Night Game drive in Murchison Falls National Park and we were able to see the yellow of the LION with the Cubs.
Gorilla Tracking was the Highlight of our Safari, thanks to our Porter she really helped us and supported us going and coming back we really had the best and everlasting memory experience. Big THANKS to Daniel for all the information about Uganda and its amazing people, thank you Daniel for the Fresh fruits while in the Game drives and on our way to Gorillas. Our Lodges were perfect; with tasty Food, cleanliness and strategically located.
Honestly we loved every moment and wished we would stay longer. We shall definitely come back and Bird's Nest Safaris is the company to go.
Cheers!!!!!!
