Amazing experience!
Eight incredible days we spent in Uganda - the pearl of Africa. Every day was something special and that was thanks to the local travel agency Hail Tours Uganda, specifically Mrs. Doreen, with whom we communicated everything. She provided us with a great itinerary (especially Murchison Falls National Park and the gorilla trekking was fantastic) and two guides - Gerald and Angel who were also excellent. We can only recommend them!

An unforgettable trip arranged in every detail possible
Uganda is a beautiful country with an amazing culture, wildlife and landscape. It surpased all our expectations and we are happy we booked with Hail Tours for this unforgettable trip!
Our guide was incredibly knowledgable about the country and the places we visisted. Also he cared for our needs in any way possible. As we are both vegan our guide helped us with our dietry requirements at every meal to ensure they would take it in account. Everything came with a personal touch which makes the experience even better.
The lodges are amazing and our 9-day itinerary was well planned as you will see a lot of wildlife (Big 5, giraffes, wharthogs, primates, birds, you name it) and a lot of the country (mountains, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, savannah, forrests).
Also did Hail Tours care for our needs as much as before the trip as during to ensure evertything was meeting our expectations and we had the best possible time we could think of. I would highly recommend Hail tours as per quality of the trip, communication from preperation to on-road travel and care throughout. Also their flexibility is amazing so if you are in need of any changes in your itnerary or some extra days because of flight schedules, they can accomodate very well!

amazing holiday in an amazing country - thanks to Hail Tours
We just returned from our 15 day trip to Uganda with Hail Tours. Friends had recommended Doreen and I must say it was a perfect match.
Doreen did everything possible to cater for our individual requests and the result was an individual tour, that was extraordinary. After South Africa and Namibia (both were self-driven), this was our third safari and I must say it was by far the most authentic one. Uganda does have the necessary infrastructure for a nice and comfortable holiday (if you don't count the roads :-)), but is fortunately still lacking the downsides of mass tourism. The lodges were all very nice an comfortable and offered tasty and good food. Usually my stomach is pretty shaky, when I go to foreign contries, so I was a bit worried at first, but it turned out, that that was no problem at all. The local food, which we tried on several occasions, is cooked so long , that its not only tender, its also ready for "western stomachs". And every coupkle of meters you'll find stands with fresh fruit ranging from mangos to pineapples, bananas, ...
An absolute highlight for us was the Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi. Getting face-to-face with those primates without a fence, glas or anything else in between is an astonishing adventure. It's not cheap, but parts of the money go to the local communities thus saving the surroundings of the gorillas. The result is, that the overall population has increased again over the last 10 years.
Our driver and guide Gerald was also amazing. He seemed to know half of Uganda and whenever we arrived at a national park, he was immidiately in contact with the locals and knew right away which spots to go to and which not. And whenever we wanted a sudden change in the plan, he accomodated for that.
Bottom-line: For anyone planning a trip to Uganda, I can only recommend Hail Tours and Doreen without hesitation. While it is a small company, it offers an excellent and very personal service and what I also find very impoertant: The money you spend, stays in the country and thus helps the development of the country and the locals (we've seen first-hand, that that is the case with Doreen).

Amazing trip in Uganda with Sande
I had 4 days tour - Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls and Ziwa Sanctuary.
The plan was amazing. Sande (the guide) was planning it very carefully and professionally, he tried to adopt it to my interests and schedule.
He was very flexible and considering. Helped me to discover everything i wanted and also helped with costs saving and good accommodations / food.
Sande did a great job and we even were lucky to see lions in Queen Elizabeth and Murchison.
Will definitely book with them again.

4-Day Gorilla Trekking with Scenic Beauty of Bunyonyi
My husband and I did this tour along side our driver Gerald and the owner Doreen. It was truly an amazing experience one that we shall never forget! Definitely something that everyone should have on their bucket list is to do the gorilla trekking! there is nothing in the world like it!!! We did the “midrange” and the accommodations were great and the food was amazing!
Our driver Gerald was so friendly and funny! We spent the entire tour laughing!! And Doreen is so kind and also hilarious!
I was 1000 times recommend this tour company!!!
