Efficient, fast responding, helpful, reliable
It was a great journey arranged by Lulu safari. Elvis is really helpful with my tour planning. He gave me lot of useful tips. And he drove one hour to Endebbe just for meeting me in person when I arrived which is not his job. Sara and Sam are very dedicated to their work, very reliable and helpful. I had great time with them especially Sara, she’s like a sister to me.

Unforgettable Uganda Safari with Lulu Safaris
Our 10-day adventure in Uganda with Lulu Safaris was nothing short of spectacular. Elvis, the mastermind behind the flawless organization, ensured every detail was perfect from start to finish.
A standout feature of our journey was our guide, Charlie. Not only a skilled driver, but he has an extensive knowledge of animals and nature that added depth to our experience. His passion for Uganda enriched our understanding of the wildlife and local culture, making each moment memorable.
From majestic mountain gorillas to thrilling safaris, every activity coordinated by Charlie showcased the best of the region.
Lulu Safaris' choice of accommodations struck the perfect balance between comfort, price and authenticity. Our stay in charming places complemented the natural beauty surrounding us.
In summary, Lulu Safaris exceeded expectations, providing exceptional organization, expert guidance from Charlie, and authentic experiences. For those seeking an unforgettable Ugandan adventure, Lulu Safaris comes highly recommended. Thank you, Elvis and Charlie, for making our journey unforgettable!

An amazing trip
Such a great time with Lulu Safaris! Audence was a great guide who worked tirelessly to make sure I had a good experience. Elvis put together a fast paced but excellent itinerary that ensured I was able to see as much as possible in what little time I had. Would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking to tour through Rwanda and Uganda.

LOVED my adventure & guide!
What a fabulous adventure! Gorilla trekking was bucket list for me and I’m SO glad I went with Lulu. All of my excursions were great (game drives, gorilla trekking, chimp trekking, gold monkey trekking, channel/boat rides) and when the horseback ride was canceled due to the stable guy being a jerk, they immediately found an even better excursion for me where I got to do a walking safari and got up close to giraffes with an amazing guide—who spotted a leopard! There was no question that Lulu went above and beyond to make sure I had the time of my life! The whole experience was amazing, the lodges they selected were unique and delightful in their own ways! Some had incredible views of forests or mountain and birds, some had lake views and traditional decor and all had very comfortable beds and really delicious food. My guide was open to adding things I wanted to do like shop at the handicraft stores and visit art galleries. My guide Smith was a bright and cheerful travel companion, I felt lucky to adventure with him! It was easy to communicate and he’s super fun!! I can’t say enough great things about Smith and Lulu. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

It's worth it to be here!
Yes... being back in Europe we still want to go back to Uganda with its nice climate and exoticism...
We understand that everyday life in this country is not as nice as it looks to tourists, but it is already in almost every tourist trip.
The moments with Lulu Safari in Uganda were great..even despite the fact that I suddenly fell ill with a high temperature (advice-wear masks at airports)-Lulu Safaris reacted quickly and changed the route, arranging extra days of stay in other hotels... Already in the first days we saw almost all the big animals - rhinoceroses, giraffes, buffaloes, elephants, hippopotamuses, chimpanzees.. we were not lucky with the representatives of the cat family, but probably the break in illness stopped us.. we did not complete the whole program...
About currency-it's take some time to understand UGX amount at USD or EUR, at the end of January 1 USD was approx. 3800 UGX, it's time for mathematic :)
Thanks to the guide Samuel - a very responsive, knowledgeable and professional guide, apparently the whole team with Elvis Masiga at the head is like that!
During the trip, everything went exactly, the accommodations are great, the food is even too great, the level of organization of the trip is much better than in some European countries... We plan to return to gorilla trekking, which we didn't do on this trip :)
Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty!

Amazing experience for solo traveler!
I am so grateful to Lulu Safaris for an amazing experience in Uganda and Rwanda! Coming from Costa Rica and as a solo female traveler, I was a little nervous about making this week-long trip to Uganda and Rwanda. But I really had nothing to worry about! From the very beginning, Elvis was easy to get in touch with, answering all my questions quickly and being patient with me as I finalized dates and made my final decision on traveling. I arrived in Kigali and they had someone waiting for me, and I was well taken care of until the moment they dropped me off at my hotel at the end of my tour. My tour guides, Audence and Simon (trianee), were both fantastic. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and open to sharing personal stories and answering all my questions. They were organized, always on time, and they knew their way around perfectly, using their strong connections to other guides, the hotels, the national parks, etc., to ensure the best experience for me at every moment. They were very sensitive to what I might need at every moment, and I felt very well taken care of 24/7. And of course, the places they took me were also fantastic! I absolutely loved gorilla trekking in Bwindi (Audence made it much better by checking with the rangers the night before and agreeing on meeting at an entrance to the park nearer to where my family of gorillas had last been seen the day before, so we found the gorillas early and spent a long time with them), I loved the game drive in Queen Elizabeth Game Drive Park, etc. All this said, it is important to go with an open mindset, ready for the unexpected. Things happen and plans change, and it is important to go with the flow. I found some of the changes in our itinerary ended up being some of the best parts of the trip. I can't recommend Lulu Safaris highly enough, and I hope to come back with my whole family sometime soon.

This tour exceeded our expectations
We went on an 8-day safari with a pick up i Kigali. Our guide and driver, Derreck, was knowledgeable, skilled and very competent, and he did his utmost to make us feel at home in Rwanda and Uganda. Starting out in Rwanda, we first visited Karagera Nat. Park doing a great boat trip (late evening), then Volcanoes Nat. Park seeing Golden Monkeys, and from there we went to Uganda. Our first stop was Bwindi Nat. Park, where we saw gorillas, and we also visited a local village. From there we went to Queen Elizabeth Nat. Park. The lodge, Buffalo Lodge, was out of this world! We did game drives, seeing tree-climbing lions, as well as a wonderful boat tour, where we saw elephants bathing. It was so great! From there, we went on to Mburo Nat. Park, with a great game drive and a hike, which was a great chance to get really close to the animals. Last but not least it is really Derreck’s efforts and great personality that made the tour such a success. The tour exceeded our expectations and we can highly recommend Derreck and Lulu Safari.

Uganda gorilla trekking via Kigali!!
We absolutely loved our tour. Gorilla trekking had been on the bucket list for years and it was absolutely incredible! We had Audence and Simon as our guides and they were wonderful so joyful and upbeat adding so much to our trip. We drove from Kigali to the Bwindi Impenetrable Forrest and the drive there through Rwanda and Uganda’s country side was stunning. We also saw golden monkeys in volcanos national park which was great! Couldn’t recommend this tour more and it made us really want to come back and explore more of Uganda as we only had two days in the country!

Fantastic!
I am so happy I chose Lulu safaris for my gorilla trekking safari! Elvis created a perfect itinerary for me and was always prompt and helpful in responding to any questions I had. My guide Smith made me feel welcomed as soon as I arrived and ensured I had an enjoyable and pleasant experience throughout the tour. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lulu safaris to others and would hire them again on future excursions to East Africa. Thank you again for such an amazing and memorable adventure!
