Amazing 5-day Tour with Safari, Chimp and Gorilla Trekking
We had the best 5-day tour which included a safari at Queen Elizabeth, boat ride along the Kazinga Channel, Chimp Trekking and Gorilla Trekking.
Our accommodation was simply breathtaking, the food and the service was outstanding.
The best part about our tour was our guide Sarah. She is so professional and made us feel immediately like part of the family. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. We are super impressed with Lulu Safari's and would recommend that you book with them. If you can, ask for Sarah as your guide, she really makes the whole experience amazing!!

Our 10 day tour with Lulu’s guide Brian exceeded our expectations and was an outstanding experience.
We gave 5 stars because Lulu Safaris delivered the tour as quoted from airport pickup, experienced guide, reliable vehicle, good accommodation.
We packed a lot in the 10 days from rhinos at Ziwa, game drives at Murchison Falls, chimpanzees at Kibale, gorillas at Bwindi and leopards stalking zebras at Lake Mburo.
Brian ensured we saw as much as possible- far more than the big five.
The tour was also far more than a safari as it was a road trip around Uganda allowing us to see the country, visit communities and interact with many Ugandans .
Thank you Brian and Lulu Safaris for a wonderful experience.

Marvelous
Last August my partner and I were in Uganda. We compared the safari service with lulusafari, and everything was great, very well organized and planned and adaptable. Both Derek, the driver, and Gideon, my guide in Spanish, were attentive, kind, and smiling. I loved the way they treated both of them. I got sick one day and without hesitation they took me to where my insurance said they would take me. The truth is that the experience with them was wonderful. If they knew of an animal running, they would move the car so we could see them, they were always waiting and asking what we wanted to do. I truly recommend lulusafari. I chose standard accommodations and they were super nice, all clean and pleasant. Nature gives what it has to give. We were lucky to see all the animals.
Our tour operator was prompt, knowledgeable, kind, and the best!!!
Our time in Uganda has been incredible and the 5 day Queen Elizabeth, chimp and gorilla trekking was a trip of a lifetime. We couldn’t recommend this company enough and we loved our tour operator Audence. He was very knowledgeable, kind, helpful and a great driver. The lodging was amazing, and all the food was very yummy. Thank you for this unforgettable experience and for organizing this trip for us!

Best time had in Uganda
We had an excellent 10 days with Derrick from Lulu. The animals and wildlife and our proximity to them was incredible, especially the chimps and gorillas. We highly recommend Lulu and Derrick. Derrick was a safe driver, managed the time excellently, took great care of us, and had a magic eye for spotting animals and birds. We saw a leopard in tree, and one sleeping in the grass - so hard to spot! The standard of accommodation was great and he managed to make sure that everything feel into place. Derrick also organised a cake and surprise birthday cake for me. Overall a very special tour and great value for money. Memorable!

Trip of a Lifetime!
My son and I recently returned from a 10-day trip to Uganda and it was amazing! It was a trip of a lifetime! Everything went as planned from the time we were picked up at the airport in Entebbe to when we were dropped off to return home.
I researched several tour companies and I'm so glad I decided on Lulu Safaris. Elvis, the owner, was friendly and accomodating during the entire booking process. He answered all my questions and responded to my messages quickly. He even sent me their operating license and certificates with the Uganda Tourism Board when I requested them.
Our guide was Derrick and he was fantasic! He was very friendly and made us feel safe from start to finish. He drove my son and I over 3,000 miles in Uganda and seemed to know everybody. Derrick's driving skills were second to none. He always answered our questions and knew the best spots for observing wildlife. While driving to our next destination, Derrick would stop to get us fresh pinapple or "chicken on a stick" as a treat. He was not only a great guide, but we consider him a friend. Derrick even messaged us after we left to make sure we got home safely and to share some photos.
In summary, this was a "bucket list" trip for me and it was better than I ever imagined. The gorilla trek was definitely the highlight but everything else was terrific also. We saw so many animals and the people of Uganda are very friendly. The accomodations were wonderful and the food was excellent. I highly recommend Lulu Safaris and ask for Derrick to be your guide. You won't be disappointed!

Amazing Adaptable Safari
So we did an hybrid safari out of Kigali Rwanda. Includes Akagera, Bwindi, and Vacanoes (golden monkeys). Our guide was Smith and as the other reviews have already stated he’s outstanding. Very observant and quick to help. Also (most importantly) easy to talk to and associate with. He has a very mild demeanor and never showed stress, anxiety, or anger which is amazing considering some of the traffic he had to go through. If you’re going to be in a car for a long time that’s really important. As far as the safari itself everything went as planned. Gorillas are amazing and a must see. Only caution is the road to Bwindi is really really rough for 2Hrs. So if you suffer from car sickness beware. Unfortunately that’s the only way into the park. Akagera was fine for what it is. Small, fairly new park. Lot of brush and limited to staying on the roads so tricky to spot stuff. Would highly suggest going to Elizebeth Park in Uganda instead. Overall couldn’t be happier though. Picked the perfect company for the options we chose.

An excellent tour going some unforgettable places!
We had an excellent time with Lulu Safaris. Our trip went very smoothly, we felt safe and comfortable every night, the accommodations and meals were wonderful!
Smith, our tour guide, was very enthusiastic and helpful. He was a great driver on the game drives, very informative and willing to stop at every little bird or creature we spotted. He took us safely through the windy mountain roads of Uganda and Rwanda. We had great conversations when in the van. It was an unforgettable experience and would definitely recommend it!

Adventure and customer care!
I just completed a wonderful experience with Lulu Safaris. I did a 4 day trip starting from Kigali to Volcanos National Park to see Golden Monkeys, then to Bwindi in Uganda to trek Gorillas and then the last night and morning at Lake Bunyonyi. Most of my trip was with tour guide Smith who is gregarious and caring. He makes very clear that he is there to make my trip the best it can be and a once in a lifetime experience. He is an outstanding driver (on both the left and right sides of the road!) and can share both lots of facts and stories about the two countries and their wildlife and his own journey. My time with him was most excellent. I also was able to spend a short time at the beginning of my trip with tour guide Eden who is so kind and gentle and incredibly considerate to make sure he provided excellent service. Thank you Lulu!!!

It was an unforgettable trip, organized by Elvis down to the last detail. Everything went very smoothly. Above all, we would like to thank our extremely warm and friendly guide, Allen Smith, who gave us unforgettable moments and provided us with many wonderful impressions and information about Uganda.
