Best 17 Days trip in Uganda
We felt completely safe the whole time we were there (17 days). We walked around local towns without any safety concerns. We toured the whole country. We loved Kidepo National Park though it was quite a haul to get there! We are 65 and 69 years old. We hiked 10 miles up and down mountains in 5.5 hours to see the Mountain Gorillas which mind was blowing! Follow the tour guidelines though. We had long sleeves, hiking boots, long pants, leg gaiters and heavy gardening gloves which protected us. Others on the tour came in shorts, tennis shoes and no gloves and were miserable. You should be fit to undertake this tour. One person on our tour was not- got heat exhaustion and slowed the rest of the group way down until the guide made the decision to let the rest of us go on without that couple with the assistance of one-armed ranger instead of two. All the national parks were outstanding. Our driver Justine at Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda Ltd was excellent and we felt completely safe with his driving and protection of us at all times. The other thing I would add was the quick and better response time by Vincent on email returns. We paid for our gorilla permits 6 months in advance and within 2 weeks of the trip, Vincent shared the copies of the permits with us. It was a trip of a lifetime! Uganda is so beautiful!

Reliable, Knowledgeable, professional and punctual
This was a bucket list trip for me so I was very concerned about it being ruined by bad organisation. It turned out better than I ever imagined. My son and I didn’t realise we would have private tours and safaris, we were treated to our own safari car. Our guides were always ready and waiting for us and adapted to any changes professionally. We saw the Big 5 and so much more including Gorillas. I will definitely be going with Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda Ltd again.

These are very nice people, very well organized & super safari
The communication from home was very accurate and precise. We were followed for every questions and doubts. It was one of the best prices I found on SafariBookings. Gerald was our guide and he was really kind and helpful. The tour itself was very very nice. The places are amazing and every stage was pretty well organised. The most beautiful things about the journey were the lodges. They were almost luxury lodges, at a normal price. And the period was perfect beacuse we were almost alone, also at the gorilla trekking. I will do it again with Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda for sure.

A professional company with precise, polite dealing with us, the result is an outstanding experience
The organisation of the trip and the tour itself was done in a really professional and polite manner, with prompt reaction to every requests, either by phone, email or in person. The tour guide, Benjamin was excellent, funny and kind, while at the same time judging perfectly what we need in terms of distance and treating us. He also had a deep knowledge about the animals, the national parks and in Uganda in general. We just had a feeling that we are in safe hands, while he did his best to make sure we get the most out of this trip.
Thus we had many-many priceless moments thanks to him, especially the "giraffe forest" we bumped into.
This was a heart-lifting trip absolutely worth its price and I am very fond of recommending Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda.
This trip Vincent and the guide are really amazing and I recommend them to anyone wishing to visit Uganda.

The best Mountain Gorillas and Chimps Tracking Experience!
Going to Uganda to see the Mountain Gorillas and Chimpanzees was not easy, but the experience was super good.
To protect this rare species, the Uganda National Park has invested enormous resources both to allow visitors to interact with them and to protect them well.
It feels like a tourist destination worth a lifetime.
To experience this safari, I recommend you to book a safari with Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda.

Amazing and wonderful safari in Uganda
Our experience with Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda was absolutely incredible! Our guide, Thomas (a true jungle king), made the trip unforgettable—he was an excellent driver and a fantastic guide who ensured we had an amazing time.
Over our 9-day tour, we did gorilla and chimps tracking, a safari, a boat tour, and all of which were unforgettable experiences. The accommodations throughout the trip were great, with lovely hosts who made us feel welcome.
The booking process was also seamless - Vincent and his team were so responsive and helpful, making everything easy from start to finish. Uganda is such a beautiful country, and we only wish we had more time to explore. If you’re considering a trip, we can’t recommend Ecovic Tours & Travel Uganda enough!
For Thomas… how do we say “best guide ever” in English? (An inside joke that he can explain to you if he’s your guide).
Thank you very much Vincent and Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda for organizing for us an amazing 9days safari.

Amazing trip in amazing country with amazing agency @ Ecovic Tours!
Over all the trip was great. We saw a lot of the country and a lot of birds and animals. The places we stayed were great and the staff at the different locations including Vincent, the manager at Ecovic Tours office were all friendly and very helpful. The Gorilla trekking was difficult but amazing and very worth it!!! Trekking to see the Chimpanzees and the Golden Monkeys were also amazing.
We were very surprised at the beautiful countryside and the variety of different wildlife in Uganda. From the Rhino Reserve, to Murchison Falls National Park, to Queen Elizabeth National Park the sightings were amazing. Definitely do the off-road experience in Queen Elizabeth State Park otherwise the lions and leopards are far away.
Bwindi with the Gorillas was a once in a life time experience. If you're not in shape, take the easy hike! The medium hike was 2.5 hours up and down in the steep forest- hire porter as they are a life saver. The hike out was another 2 hours straight up!
We really enjoyed the walking safari in Lake Mburo National Park. It was pretty amazing to walk with the giraffe, the zebras, and the other animals. If you like safaris, Uganda is a must! And Ecovic Tours is the best agency to plan your trip with!

What an amazing tour company, a wonderful and amazing trip
Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda really delivered on a wonderful trip for us. The accommodations were all great. All the food & meals were excellent. Our tour guide Gerald was amazing! He was so knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable throughout our whole trip. He also made sure to help us with our trip checklist of animals we hoped to see, including Gorillas, Chimps, the big five and a shoebill stork on our way to the airport! So cool! What an amazing trip!

Great experiences and memories with Ecovic Tours!
My boyfriend and I enjoyed a wonderful 7-days trip in Uganda thanks to Ecovic Tours: our driver Gerald followed us explaining all the beauties of this country. He was always accomodating, friendly and careful towards us. Two unforgettable experiences above all: the chimpanzee and the gorilla trekking! All the lodges were simple but clean and comfortable. Despite the length of the daily transfers, we loved the stunning views from the car and we always felt safe. I recommend to choose Ecovic Tours for your next travel to Uganda!

Memories to last a lifetime!
Ecovic Tours went above and beyond to provide the most amazing 14 day safari for my fiancé and me! Truly, every day brought something new and spectacular. We talked to other travelers who would bemoan not seeing the leopards, we saw two! We heard people say that the tree climbing lions had left the Ishasha sector, but we saw them and cubs! Frank was our friend and guide for the 14 days and he always found what we were looking for, I am so grateful we were with him! Victor was very helpful in setting everything up and providing clear communication. He was very patient with us, as we sorted out a payment issue upon arrival. And for anyone unsure about the best way to wire funds, I’ve learned that the Wise app is best for transferring money from the US to Stanbic Bank, after my bank wouldn’t wire, and other apps charged exorbitantly high fees or used poor exchange rates. Victor and Frank also worked together to get our delayed luggage delivered to us in rapid order! I couldn’t believe how smoothly they make everything work. It was the trip of a lifetime, and though I’m home now, I still relive the moments, and am forever grateful for the experiences provided by Ecovic Tours!
