A childhood dream coming true: Murchison Falls National Park
5/5

It’s a shame that we only had less than two days to explore Uganda’s great wildlife. But Sam made the best out of it so that we were able to see as much as possible in such a short amount of time. We got picked up from our hotel in Arua, although it was much later than expected our driver remained friendly and made us feel very welcome. The next morning we left early for a game drive where we got to see from monkeys to elephants all animals you always wanted to see in their own surrounding. After lunch we did a water game drive, which was beyond our expectations. Crocodiles, hippos and various colourful birds were among what we’ve seen during this amazing ride. It was also great that we were always able to ask questions to our guides throughout the ride. A walking tour followed to the Murchison Falls waterfalls and the stunning views from the cliffs left us speechless. Nature can be so impressive and beautiful! On our way back to the hotel we did an evening game drive with a beautiful sunset over the savannah. Back in our hotel we sat outside and had a delicious meal with our driver. The hotel had a beautiful overall view to the Nil. The breakfast was very tasty, the staff friendly and helpful. Our tent could have been a little bigger, it only contained a bed and a small space in front, but spending our time mainly outside we didn’t mind and it was definitely an unforgettable experience sleeping so close to the nature. To our surprise it also had a swimming pool, which was just perfect in the morning. On our way back to Kampala the next day. We stopped by at a rhino sanctuary. We clearly didn’t expect to see and come so close to a whole herd of rhinos, including a baby rhino. Again the guide and our driver have done an amazing job. With Sam you are in good hands. He will make everything possible and take good care of you, so that everybody can enjoy themselves. Thanks so much for making it possible, it was an unforgettable experience for all of us and a great ending of our Ugandan tour.

I got super nervous on this part. After spending 5 days with this company- I now can safely tell people, don't worry! They are a very reputable company.

We recently completed a customized tour of Uganda with a volcano hike in Rwanda
5/5

We recently completed a customized tour of Uganda with a volcano hike in Rwanda all arranged by Laba Africa . Our guide, Moses, did an amazing job of finding interesting wildlife for us to see, arranging boat trips, meals, lodging and answering all of our many questions about the wildlife, culture, geography, plants, foods etc of Uganda. Possibly the most amazing thing was to watch him navigate the roads - he was a true expert in driving up and down mountains on bumpy unimproved mud roads and through the most crowded congested roads in Kampala that I have ever experienced. I remember Thanking God that he was driving over and over!! The lodgings provided ranged from adequate to downright luxurious. One tip - take some form of noise reducers - they don't insulate any walls here so you hear everything anyone does in the bathroom clearly and the nearby villages play music or preachers over loudspeakers well into the night.

Memorable trip and unique experience with Laba Africa Expeditions
5/5

I had a unique trip through stunning Uganda with Sam! He really made the experience perfect. He customized everything to exactly what I wanted and made sure I didn't have to worry about anything.

I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to not only have a great experience but also to learn so many things since his insights and knowledge about Uganda were invaluable and allowed me to have a really authentic experience, which did not only focus on impressive wildlife watching but also on people and local culture.

We had a great time together, I truly liked travelling with him! Everything went really smoothly throughout the trip and I always felt extremely safe and taken care of.

Sam is very professional, reliable and sociable as well. Furthermore he is always ready to do everything needed to make you feel comfortable and to fully enjoy the adventure.

Besides that I loved the aspect of sustainable travelling and the companies efforts such as providing reusable plasticfree water bottles and planting trees to compensate effects of climate change.

I will definitely travel with Sam and Laba Africa Expeditions again when I return to beautiful Uganda!

The best way to see Uganda!
5/5

A wonderful 9 day safari, across part of Uganda! Travelling in a luxurious safari vehicle is a wonderful way to see so much of this stunning country including its varied wildlife and incredible countryside!
Sam tailored our safari perfectly to suit our needs, and Alonso our guide was very willing to do everything he could do to make sure we could see everything we wanted to! This included the incredible Ishasha tree climbing lions, gorillas and chimpanzees! Thank you so much, for a wonderful time!

Wonderful experience!!!
5/5

Our experience with labaafrica was excepcional.
We did 3 days gorilla safari what included 2 night in beautiful budget lodges in Bwindi National park, and the Gorilla permits were include, they got it for us.
We choose to add lake Bunyonyi, one of the most beautiful lakes in Africa (and it really is) at no extra cost. We slept in the lake and it was the best and so beautiful views in Africa.
We spent 2 nights on the tour with all the meals include and with our guide Moses who was so friendly and helpful with us.
Thank you very much for everything guys!
Highly recommend!

Amazing trip through Uganda
5/5

Traveling with Laba Africa was a great experience!
We saw amazing landscapes and animals in different national parks and spent the nights in beautiful lodges. The guides were extemely nice and fun to be around.
Especially the planning of our trip was amazing. We had some special requests because I wanted to visit some friends in between our Safari tours. That was no problem and got nicely included in our plan for the trip. Whatever we requested was made possible!
I can only recommend traveling with Laba Africa. We will definitely return!

12 Amazing Days in Kampala, Murchison Falls, Bwindi Forest and Bunyonyi Lake
5/5

I spent a little less than 2 weeks in Uganda, and although I would recommend staying longer as this country has to offer, it was already enough to see so many beautiful things and have great memories. After spending a few days discovering the city of Kampala and enjoying the hospitality and good humor there, Sam and I set out for a safari in Murchison Falls National Park: really beautiful with all these wild animals and waterfalls which are, rightly, one of the highlights of the park. Sam is an excellent guide who knows a lot about his country and the animals, so his explanations made the safari even more enjoyable. The next adventure was the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for a Gorilla Trekking. This experience is unique and magical, I absolutely recommend it! The price of the permit is certainly not cheap, but the experience is well worth it and the funds are used for good causes. We ended our trip with a little rest at Lake Bunyonyi which is a superb, relaxing place, with plenty of activities available!

I would not change anything in this perfect program according to the expectations I had. Sam is very professional, communicative and listens to his clients. His organization largely took into account the wishes I had, and he was good company and very good advice throughout the trip. He also always offered me different types of accommodation at different budgets, and the places I stayed were all top notch. In short, I highly recommend Laba Africa Expeditions!

A big thank you Sam for an unforgettable stay!

Unforgettable memories in Kampala, Murchison Falls and Bwindi
5/5

Sam is a very professional tourism expert who provides reliable and interesting information during the tour. Everything was well organized and he advised me with very nice and good value accommodations. He’s friendly and knows so much about his country. The Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi was just breathtaking, once in a lifetime experience! We had a great time at Murchison, saw many wild animals and the falls are beautiful. We also went to Bunyonyi Lake which is a wonderful and resting place where you can do many activities. The tour was amazing, plenty of great moments and unforgettable memories. Couldn’t recommend his services more !
