Epic Uganda was incredibly responsive and professional.
Our experience with Epic Uganda, from the pre-trip communication to the beginning, middle, and end of the trip was exceptional. My husband and I chose the 6 day Rwanda-Uganda Gorillas and Wildlife Safari. Our guide Scotius was warm, kind, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver. Our nightly lodging was comfortable with amazing, attentive staff. We were blown away by experiencing the gorillas a chimpanzee - an incredibly special experience. Our wildlife drives were beyond expectation with lions and leopard spotting! The boat ride on Lake Edward was a surprise with the abundance of wildlife—elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife. Be prepared for lots of time driving, and be sure to secure an Eastern Africa Visa.

Rhe best company to know the magic of Uganda
A super serious company. Comply with everything agreed. Excellent quality services and locations. Moses is committed to his work, he constantly makes sure everything is working perfectly, a charming person. The guide Roland always has the best energy, busy covering all your needs, even going beyond what is stipulated. It was a pleasure to share with him the treasures of this country of endearing people.
I recommend it 100%
Thanks Moses! Thanks Roland! 🙏

Organised, knowledgeable and friendly.
We organised a custom tour of Rwanda to suit a short break we had. Jonathon was very helpful with lots of contact via email and WhatsApp to design the right tour for us.
Moses was our guide on the ground. He was very accommodating to what we wanted to do around the scheduled tour. He was always happy to share his knowledge, wisdom and point out lots of animals we would have missed.
The tour itself was wonderful, we saw so many animals during safari in a very comfortable vehicle. The trekking for gorillas was magical and golden monkeys amazing. We are of average fitness and really struggle with the hike for chimpanzees but we were doing it in wet season - so not ideal timing.
We would definitely recommend Epic Uganda for your safari.

Nice, professional tour
We took the 2-day gorilla tour to Bwindi from Kigali. The road trip is a bit long for 2 days, but it is organised most efficiently, so that you make the most of your time. Our guide Roland was nice and helpful. The accomodation they offered was very beatiful, in the fringes of the park. The staff was super friendly there. We were lucky and watched many gorillas in a relatively short trek.
We also took the Batwa experience, a guided tour to a nearby protected forest with these forest people where they explained (and showed us!) about their ancestral practices, including dances. Lovely people. Don't miss it and bring some sweets for the children!
Finally, do not be surprised if after paying quite a big sum for your trip (including gorilla permits) you do not get any contract, invoice or receipt of payment (which made us a bit anxious at the beginnig). However, they delivered all the services as agreed and expected

Moses is the man! He's extremely knowledgeable and a great guy to hangout with.
I booked Epic Uganda after getting quotes from 5-6 companies. I liked their itinerary and prices the best. Jonathan and Moses were both very easy to communicate with. They made the preparation easy and the week itself go over smoothly with no issues.
The experience itself was amazing. The proximity of the encounters with animals is truly unbelievable. Moses was a great knowledgeable and personable guide who was a joy to hangout with for the week. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing experience
We spent 3 days with epic uganda, did Kigali city tour, gorilla trekking and golden monkeys in Rwanda.
Everything happened as promised, our guide Scodius was just amazing! We loved every minute and will choose epic again!

An amazing and professional tour operator who will ensure you have a fantastic safari
I had a really fantastic time on my six day trek. The schedule was great and fit in lots of activities with the highlights being the chimp, gorilla and golden monkey trekking. The lodges were beautiful and made the experience all the more special.
My guide Moses went out of his way to make sure I had a great trip. I was a solo female traveller but Moses made me feel safe the entire time and nothing was too difficult. He takes great pride in his services, has a lot of knowledge to share and enjoys a laugh.
Epic Uganda Vacations is a recently established company so has less reviews than other tour operators. Don't let this put you off, you'll have a great time if you choose them. I highly recommend them and Moses - you won't regret it and will treasure the memories forever.

Gorillas and chimpanzees
Epic Uganda and its guide Moses allowed us to fulfill the dream of seeing chimpanzees and gorillas in their natural habitat, admiring these splendid primates so close to us, and our guide and friend Moses, his smile, his sweetness, his competence that he has completed this holiday and enriched this experience of knowing such a nice guy, I recommend epic Uganda and Moses to have this experience.
