Best tour agency
We had an unforgettable Rwanda-Uganda road trip thanks to this incredible tour agency! From the very first email, Moses was exceptionally helpful and patient. He guided us through the entire planning process, helping us choose the right accommodations, crafting a smooth and well-balanced route, and even securing our gorilla trekking permits. No matter what questions we had about Rwanda or Uganda, Moses was always there with clear, honest, and thoughtful answers. His support made the preparation completely stress-free.
Once on the road, we were lucky to be accompanied by Chris, our tour guide in Queen Elizabeth National Park. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the wildlife and landscapes of the region. Chris spotted animals we would have never noticed on our own and shared fascinating insights about the park’s ecosystems, making the experience both exciting and educational. His nwarm personality made us feel safe and well cared for throughout.
To top it all off, after the tour we even went for a drink together—Moses, Chris, and us, making the whole experience feel even more personal and memorable.
The entire journey, from Rwanda’s rolling green hills to Uganda’s breathtaking savannah, was seamless, well-coordinated, and full of unforgettable moments. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a better adventure.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a well-organized, personalized, and truly unique African tour.

Life-Changing Week in Uganda
My week in Uganda was absolutely wonderful — truly a life-changing experience from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, seamless, and filled with moments I’ll never forget. Moses created the perfect itinerary for me, thoughtfully including everything I had hoped to see — and so much more. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely taken care of.
The accommodations Moses selected were outstanding — each one unique, comfortable, and full of character, with the warmest hospitality. Every lodge was surrounded by incredible nature, making each evening peaceful and magical after a day of exploring. Even the long drives between destinations were comfortable and enjoyable, thanks to the spacious, well-maintained vehicle that made it easy to take in Uganda’s stunning scenery.
My guide, Racheal, was an absolute angel — there truly are no other words to describe her. I was traveling solo, and she made me feel like I was exploring with a dear friend. We shared so many amazing conversations during our drives, and her love, pride, and deep knowledge of her country were inspiring. Her energy and enthusiasm made every moment special and unforgettable.
The excursions and safaris were unforgettable — from watching elephants, lions, giraffes, and hippos in their natural habitat to cruising along beautiful waterways filled with wildlife. Every day brought a new adventure, perfectly timed and thoughtfully guided.
And as the grand finale, I had the incredible opportunity to take part in the Mountain Gorilla Habituation experience — truly one of the most profound moments of my life. Spending extended time with a gorilla family in their natural environment was humbling, emotional, and beyond words. It was the perfect ending to an already extraordinary week.
I can’t thank Moses and Racheal enough for making this journey so meaningful and memorable. Their care, organization, and genuine passion turned a dream trip into something I’ll carry in my heart forever. Uganda is a place of breathtaking beauty and even more beautiful people — I’ll be forever grateful for this experience.

Had a great holiday
We had a wonderful vacation in Kenya with Native Africa Tours. We took a comprehensive tour of Kenya, including safaris in numerous parks, each one as magnificent as the next, accompanied by Moses (the person in charge of organizing the trip) and David, our driver. Everything went almost like clockwork: a few regular organizational issues hampered the trip, which were quickly resolved each time, but they did waste some of our time and energy.
Moses did everything he could to ensure the trip went as smoothly as possible; David is a focused and careful driver (perhaps a little too careful, as we were driving really slowly). He was rather quiet and unfriendly (while still remaining kind). Fortunately, Moses was there to chat with us!
Despite these two or three drawbacks, we will have wonderful memories of this vacation and recommend this trusted agency.

Beyond any expectations
I had a truly unforgettable experience with Native African Tours, and I can’t recommend them enough. From the very beginning, it was clear that this is a locally based company that genuinely cares about their clients. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and constant communication made me feel confident and supported throughout the entire process.
Despite giving them very short notice, they went above and beyond to arrange a wonderful trekking excursion to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Getting gorilla permits on such short notice is no small feat, but they made it happen—and the result was a trip I’ll never forget.
Moses deserves special recognition—he managed all the logistics seamlessly and kept in close contact with me every step of the way, always making sure everything was in place and adapting to my needs with genuine care. And Chris, my guide, was simply outstanding. Warm, knowledgeable, and full of good energy—he made the trek not just smooth, but truly special. The lodges we stayed throughout the trip exceeded everything I had in mind: incredible views and the nicest and warmest service.
If you're planning a visit to Uganda, you can trust Native African Tours to arrange the best trip you can have. They’re passionate, reliable, and deeply committed to sharing the beauty of their country in the most authentic and meaningful way. And you will be supporting local businesses.
Thank you, Moses and Chris, for showing me a side of Uganda I’ll always carry with me.

Unforgettable Uganda Trip – February 2025
Our seven-day tour through Uganda was an absolutely unique experience! From breathtaking wildlife encounters to fascinating moments in nature – every day held new highlights.
Right at the beginning, we had the incredible opportunity to see rhinos up close at the Rhino Sanctuary. In Murchison National Park, we witnessed Africa’s wildlife in all its glory: lions, giraffes, elephants, buffalos, hippos, and even a hyena crossed our path. Another highlight was Kibale National Park, where we had a close-up encounter with chimpanzees in their natural habitat. But the absolute highlight of the trip was the gorilla trekking in Bwindi National Park – an unforgettable and deeply moving experience.
A huge thank you to our amazing guide, Rachel! She drove us safely through the country, shared fascinating insights into Ugandan culture and daily life, and made the journey truly special. Everything was perfectly organized – from the accommodations to the well-planned itinerary.
This trip was a dream come true, made possible by excellent organization. We can highly recommend it – an unforgettable adventure!

Great tour with Chris Sanyu of Native Africa Tours. He was considerate, knowledgeable, honest, caring and an excellent driver. We all loved him.
The tour included all hotels, meals, tours and transportation for the 5 of us in a customized safari vehicle for 14 days at just $4,500 (without airfare) per person. Itineraries can be designed around your interests and time available. Highly recommend Chris and his team if you want a fabulous Africa adventure.

By Far the BEST Africa Trip I've Ever Taken
I have been to over 15 different countries in Africa and done over 17 safari’s. I’m gonna tell you right now that my trip With Native Africa Tours has been my all-time favorite experience I’ve ever had in Africa.
The team worked one on one with me to be able to make sure that they created the perfect itinerary to meet all of my bucket list experience requirements and make my Africa trip come to life.
We visited Uganda, Rwanda, and DR Congo, and they made all of the border crossing processes super easy and seamless. I also got to do my first ever walking safari, and let me tell you, it was so cool to see animals very up close and by foot. Their transportation/safari vehicles are super comfortable and modern and make the drive very enjoyable, considering you might have a couple of hours of long driving between destinations. Native Africa Tours also organized some amazing hotels for me to stay in. One of the hotels even had a pool where the animals would come up to the watering hole, and it was located in the bush. It was such a cool experience to enjoy a luxury hotel with wild animals hanging out around the pool. My guide ensured that I could see all of the animals I wanted to see in Queen Elizabeth National Park. When I went to the Congo, it was such a safe experience. They organized everything for me, from the border crossing to the amazing gorilla trek. The Rwanda portion of my trip was very nice and relaxing.
As a remote worker, they also accommodated my every needs and made sure I was back by a certain time to start work and had high speed internet throughout the entire trip. I appreciated that so much
This 10-day trip I took was truly an adventure and a dream. The staff at native Africa Tours is literally the best, and I would not recommend any other company more. When I say this is by far the best safari trip I’ve gone on, I mean it. Thanks again for creating the best trip of a lifetime! I can’t wait to come back

It was the most incredible experience of my life.
It was the most incredible experience of my life. Being so close to the gorillas, seeing how they live, is indescribable. My guides: Mustafa and Ashraf, were amazing, very attentive, we had a lot of fun (very important since the trip to Bwindi from Entebbe takes 11 hours)
