Absolutely phenomenal, from start to finish!!
Cannot recommend this company enough!!! Anthony and Brenda are fantastic and worked with us to ensure we had the trip of a lifetime. All expectations were not only met, but greatly exceeded! From our exhilarating itinerary to the memorable accommodations, every part of the experience was extraordinary. All the activities including river rafting, game drives, gorilla/chimp/rhino treks and boat rides were spectacular, with stunning views and incredible wildlife sightings, and the food was fantastic throughout. Accommodations were wonderfully planned, and each place we stayed offered something different, but all were so lovely. The warmth and hospitality from everyone we met in Uganda is indescribable. What truly made this trip special, though, was our guide, Eddie. He was knowledgeable, professional, passionate, joyful, and also so attentive to our group's needs. We could not have asked for a better driver/guide - he went above and beyond to ensure we had a life-changing adventure every step of the way while simultaneously feeling like a member of the family. It was clear he genuinely cared about making sure we had the BEST time possible. This was more than a vacation - it was an adventure I’ll never forget, and I’m still majorly struggling with post-Uganda depression! Thank you Anthony, Brenda and Eddie for the most unforgettable experience ever. We miss you all!

Disappointing
We (group of 10) signed up for a tour several months prior to the scheduled june5-9 th tour. We were to be in Uganda for a volunteer work week, helping a community, and this was a post work excursion. Due to the Ebola outbreak, we had to change to another country in Africa on the other side of the continent. Therefore, this unforeseen situation required us to cancel. We asked for our refund. The average refund was only 25%. After a lot of communication, the operator showed no proof that he purchased any permits or any of the expenses for this tour, nor any safety precautions concerning Ebola. His verbiage and actions did not show any interest in our situation. I cannot recommend anyone to use this company. This was a terrible experience.
