Beyond expectations! Great guide, organisation and flexibility!
Booked via safari bookings. Process was smooth and easy. Communication with Lulu (Elvis) was done via Whatsapp. Questions were asmswered promptly and support offered were needed. A minor hiccup on the first day for some organisational stuff but was smoothed out quick and easy.
My guide was Samuel and he was excellent. Not only did he put up with me for 10 days by himself, he could also answer any questions and gave me many tips and insights. Really enjoyed the conversations.
All booked accommodations were above what I expected with excellent service above what I am used too.
Game drives were all great! Got to see all Big 5 and then some. All the rangers needed for additional activities (Bwindi, Kibale, walking safari and night game drive in Mburo) were also all great and very patient.
The community excursions also need to be recommended, especially to the Fatwa people, very insightful, very friendly and super interesting. Learned a lot.
The tour was not cheap but overall worth every cent spent.

Flexible, knowledgeable and reliable team which provides to you an unforgettable Ugandan experience.
We had the pleasure of travelling through Uganda with Lulu Safaris for our honeymoon.
While arranging the trip, all communication with Elvis was via email or WhatsApp. He was always very kind and flexible, adapting the itinerary to our requests and preferences. Communication could have been a little smoother, though, as we sometimes had to send a few friendly reminder emails when we did not receive a response. Overall, however, everything went smoothly, and we had no issues with the payment process.
Once we arrived in Uganda, our guide, Derrik, contacted us via WhatsApp the day before our pick-up, which went very smoothly. Derrik was a fantastic guide, with incredible driving skills on Uganda's bumpy roads and extensive knowledge of the country's wildlife, flora, culture, people, and roads. We really appreciated everything he shared with us. We also felt that he quickly understood our interests throughout the trip, making spontaneous stops and suggesting activities to enhance our overall experience. He knew exactly how and when to give us the time and space to relax or do something on our own, making the whole trip even more enjoyable. As a little anecdote, on the first day, after just one hour of driving, we got a flat tyre, and he handled the situation calmly and efficiently.
Overall, all the lodges and hotels where we stayed were lovely, clean, and staffed by very kind people who genuinely cared about making us feel comfortable. Most of them also had superb locations, with some very close to the national parks and others even located within the parks themselves. Special mention goes to Bush Lodge Queen Elizabeth, Bweza Kibale Lodge, Bweza Gorilla Lodge, and Rwakobo Rock Lodge in Lake Mburo.
All in all, Uganda is a wonderful country, full of breathtaking landscapes, incredible wildlife, and kind people. Thanks to Lulu Safaris and specially to Derrik, we had an unforgettable honeymoon filled with adventure.

Beyond 5 stars! Unforgettable 6-day Uganda safari with Simon and Lulu Safaris
We spent an amazing 6 days in Uganda with Lulu Safaris and cannot recommend them highly enough. From day one, the communication and planning were flawless, and they tailored everything perfectly to our wishes. We would book with them again in a heartbeat!
A very special thank you goes to our incredible guide, Simon, who made this trip perfect. His warm, easygoing nature and flawless organization made us feel welcome from the start. He answered every question, sharing deep insights into local culture and wildlife. We especially loved sitting down with him after our activities like chimpanzee and gorilla treks or Community Tours to review the highlights and hear his personal stories.
If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! Thank you Simon for an unforgettable journey.

Exciting
We had a fantastic time on our safari with Brian as our guide! Uganda has so much to offer, from the mountains to the grasslands, we loved every second. Our guide, Brian, was very flexible and accommodating of our wants and needs during our safari. We were very happy with the lodging and the service was more than exemplary! I would 100% recommend Lulu safaris and Uganda to my friends and family.

Adventure
We did a 10 day safari through Uganda with Brian as our guide. It was a great time full of wildlife, beautiful scenery, and interesting culture. Of course the gorilla trekking was the highlight but we were surprised with how much we loved other parts of the itinerary like Golden Monkey trekking.
The safari van was comfortable for the long drives and be prepared for the bumpy roads of Uganda which add to the excitement of the trip. All the accommodations were great, as a group of 4 from the U.S. we weren't prepared for the level of attentiveness and service at each lodge.
Brian made our trip extra special with his knowledge of Uganda, the wildlife, and how to time excursion appropriately. He took some amazing photos of us as well as the animals on our trip that will be treasured. We felt lucky to have a guide like him and would recommend him to any friends or family coming to Uganda.
Thank you Lulu Safaris and Brian for an amazing trip!

A fabulous adventure
We had a wonderful experience during our short trip to Rwanda and Uganda.
Our trip leader Bruce was excellent, right from the start he was waiting for us at the airport and spent the rest of our trip making sure we had an enjoyable experience. His knowledge of both countries was great, he was a safe driver over the many hours of travel we had and just overall a lovely person.
The itinerary was good however further information on expenses would be useful eg. Tipping information/standard costs for gorilla tour guide, trackers and porters etc. I would recommend doing some research before arriving, we were not expecting and hadn’t planned to tip trackers in the middle of the Bwindi national park.
Accommodation was good, clean and meals to a high quality. We especially loved the stay at Bweza before our gorilla trek.
I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this company to friends and family.

To the dot
Simon was an amazing tour guide. Always full of interesting facts about wild life and always answered any questions we asked. When with Simon, don't even think about killing a tsetsefly because it's all part of the wild. 🤗. Anyway, Lulu safaris organized everything to the dot, and all we had to do was enjoy nature and ourselves. We also had children with us and their needs were catered for to the dot.
