Gorilla trek
5/5

Francis was amazing! We booked the 5 day gorilla and chimp trek. We were initially skeptical about booking from a company we did not know but decided to based on his reviews. This did not disappoint. The hotels were nice, moderate accommodations. Be sure to manage expectations, for example there might not be hot water at one of the hotels and there is a lot of driving so plan accordingly. We saw so many animals, and the boat safari was better than expected. The hikes are somewhat difficult but we managed to see chimps and gorillas. Francis picked one of the easier routes for my group of 4 and he was so kind and accommodating. We did get porters for the gorilla trek. I highly recommend doing so if you are not used to hiking. We were concerned about rain during this time of year, but it was warm and sunny when we did the hike. We wore light long sleeve shirts and light rain jackets. This trip is definitely worth it, not just money wise, worth the time spent driving. You might want to bring packable back packs/duffles to keep your stuff in the truck if you are leaving your luggage somewhere or try to pack light. It does get quite dusty even on the drives between locations. Most if not all hotels have cleaning services if you have time to wait. Be sure to bring cash to tip your guides.

Experienced and professional operator with a friendly nature.
5/5

Francis was very welcoming and quickly adjusted our itinerary to accommodate our very delayed flight. His knowledge and professionalism were exceptional. He was always happy to stop for photos and knew the best locations for wildlife viewing.

Our highlights included the incredible chimpanzee tracking in Kyambura Gorge and seeing the mountain gorillas in Bwindi, a long time bucket list dream that did not disappoint - an amazing experience! The accommodations were comfortable, practical and well located.

With all meals, park entrances, and permits included, the 7-day tour offered excellent value for money and outstanding service. We would recommend Francis and Nature Connect Safaris.

A wonderful experience where everything was perfect.
5/5

The communication with Francis, the owner, was from the start to the end very good. He answered quickly and was friendly. The price-performance for the safari package was excellent. With every lodge Francis booked by mid-range we were so happy. The lodges had always the best view, beautiful rooms and the food was clean and tasty. Our guide Sam was so friendy, honest and experienced. With him you will have the best time in your life. My wife was so sad when we left him. This company is 100% recommended. From the start to the end everything was perfect!

Unique experience with huge added value
5/5

We were on three day safari starting from Kampala including gorilla tracking and relaxing on lake buniyoni. Gorilla tracking is really very unique. It was very well organized and we enjoyed it a lot. Once in a life time experience.
During quite long time in the car to move from Kampala to Bwindi, we had a chance to see local life and the real added value was our guide Francis, who is very knowledgeable and he answered all the questions either about local life or nature. It was a real pleasure.
Thank you Francis

Great
5/5

We just took a tour with Francis and his company. He was in contact with us way before our Safari. He had everything arranged with great hotels, food for Uganda that were very nice and at a reasonable price.His knowledge about the area and all the animals that we saw made our trip amazing. He has a great net work of associates that helped us all along the way.
I can’t recommend Francis enough if you are looking for a safari, Gorillas and Chimpanzees in Uganda. Thank you Francis.
