Trustworthy, reliable, flexible and friendly
Discovering Uganda with Native Africa tours was a very good experience as a solo female and tailored private tour.
The quality of the lodges in general could really improve in relation of the price they asked for, specially when your money is not in dollars or euros. The food is fresh and the fruits are divine.
The wild animals in the parks are in very good condition, plenty food and water for them.
The traffic closer to the cities is very chaotic and the domestic animals greasing a long the road is very stressful for an animal lover like me. People are generally very friendly and try their best to please you. The gorilla trekking is an absolute must do in the life time, amazing experience and very well organised.
The Murchison's fall and the cruise on the Nile is definitely not to miss.
I'll definitely will recommend visiting Uganda with Native Africa tours.

Expert guide and great person! Chris accomplished the three main objectives that a guide in Uganda.
Expert guide and great person!
Chris accomplished the three main objectives that a guide in Uganda is supposed to achieve:
1. Made me feel safe
2. Took care of my health with regard to food and hygiene
3. Got involved in activities to support the local community
More in detail:
1. He always accompanied me and dealt with local authorities, avoiding me stressful waste of time, and guaranteed my safety when approached by locals. He took care of anything that he could possibly think about. He managed to accomodate even the most eccentric request by making possible to squeeze dozens of activities in a week-short trip.
2. He booked the accommodations that were best tailored to my tastes, and made sure I was tasting any local specialities without risking any food intoxication.
3. Most importantly, he helped me support the local Orphanage of Kyambura, which we visited together during one of our stops. After months from our adventure, he still intermediates with the Orphanage, transportation companies and local shops to buy and deliver the sewing machines the Orphanage requires to teach childer how to earn a living.
Without his support my fundaraising campaign would have been in serious danger.
Thank you Chris!

Life changing experience
This was an impactful experience. Coming from the US, I flew into Kigali, Rwanda, was picked up and driven to Uganda. As a solo woman traveler, I felt incredibly safe. George was great company. Communication was easy. I chose Uganda over Rwanda because pricing was better. Be sure to get your East Africa Tourist Visa from the Ugandan government website only. I recommend the 4 hour habituation permit. The trekking uphill was difficult as an inexperienced hiker. Staff was incredibly patient and kind. Our guide was educational. There is great work being done here for conservation. Highly recommend. It will stay with you for life.

Customized trips and professionality
Native Africa Tour is an Amazing tour operator: they customized our trip, with great suggestions and they are very organized and precise. Our guide, Chris, is very well prepared and always answers to all our questions and curiosities; he brought us also to secret spots to admire the landscapes and help us in watching animals very closely. Also the lodges were all fantastic!
I really recommend to come to Uganda with this magic team!

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.
