Very good
The experience with Lulu Safari was excellent from the very first inquiry. Communication was always smooth and quick, both by email and WhatsApp, resolving all our doubts and guiding us through the trip planning.
Upon arriving in Uganda, everything flowed even better. We were greeted by Derrik and Viktor, who from the first moment made us feel like we were in the hands of true professionals.
We had a few minor issues with some accommodations, but they were resolved immediately. Derrik and Viktor always acted quickly, kindly, and practically, seeking the best alternative to ensure our comfort and peace of mind.
At our accommodation in Bwindi, on my birthday, they took care of notifying the lodge so they could surprise me with a decorated room, and during dinner, they sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It was a beautiful and very meaningful gesture.
But what truly made this trip unique was the human and professional quality of Derrik and Viktor. They were both punctual, kind, attentive, and extremely considerate. During the long journeys, they constantly asked if we needed breaks, always adapting to our pace and providing attentive, respectful, and very pleasant support.
Viktor also speaks Spanish, which greatly facilitated communication and allowed us to perfectly understand all the explanations and knowledge that Derrik shared.
We highly recommend requesting Derrik and Viktor as your guides when booking with Lulu Safari. They made our trip unforgettable, and we felt accompanied by two exceptional people, both professionally and personally.
Uganda is a wonderful country that is well worth visiting, and doing so with guides like them makes all the difference.

Top-Notch Experience
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Lulu Safaris! From start to finish, everything was so well-organised, smooth, and truly memorable. I am especially grateful to our guides, CAESAR and MARK who made the entire journey exceptional.
Both of them were warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and enjoying every moment. Their passion for their work and their genuine care for guests really stood out. I felt safe, welcomed, and fully satisfied throughout the trip.
I am extremely happy with the service I received and would gladly recommend LULU SAFARIS to anyone looking for a fantastic adventure. Special thanks once again to CAESAR and MARK — you made this experience unforgettable!

Excellent trip, amazing guide
Lulu provided an truly exceptional trip through five national parks in Uganda! My guide Elvis, was extremely knowledgeable, personable, accommodating, and professional. I wholeheartedly recommend him. Uganda is an absolutely amazing country teeming with wildlife and culture that I'll undoubtedly visit again. When I do go, I will definitely use Lulu. I can't say enough about how amazing Lulu made the experience. Thank you.

Great experience in the pearl of Africa
We did a 10-day tour with Lufu Safaris and our guide Brian. We were able to visit multiple national parks and spend time with both chimpanzees and gorillas. Brian was a great guide and did everything he could to make this trip special for us. We had a great plan for each day and enough flexibility to accommodate any wishes.
Our favorite part was definitely the primates. We were just a couple of meters from them! We also really enjoyed seeing the lion cubs feeding at night.
We would highly recommend a trip with Lufu Safaris and are thankful for our amazing guide Brian!

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!
