Friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic to share their world with us.
Wild excursions Uganda gave us a beautiful tour of the national park, including the Nile river and Murchison Falls, and the beautiful Safari lands and animals. We were fortunate to see lions with their cubs, as well as the innumerable, giraffe and herd animals. The river cruise on the Nile was beautiful to see hippos and so many species of birds ;and elephants and Nile crocodiles. The food was delicious and the information from the operators was clear and very helpful to understand all of the animals’ natural habitat. Everything went smoothly and was well organized, especially the lovely breakfast on the shores of the Nile river , they organized wonderful hotels that had comfortable beds and lovely dining. All of the transportation was timely and comfortable. I will always be using wild excursions Uganda.

An amazing Uganda safari experience that exceeded expectations in every way!
Wild Excursions Uganda provided a truly wonderful safari experience! During our 2 day safari my group was able to see Murchison Falls National Park and a ton of elephants, hippos, giraffes, warthogs, lions, crocodiles, etc...!!! Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and made sure we always felt comfortable and safe - from providing us with plenty of water and only stopping at places that were safe with clean bathrooms on the drive there and back to letting us take as long as we wanted watching the animals and answering our many questions. The owner, Franklin, makes sure that everyone is well taken care of and having a great time. A large portion of the safari profits go to Jungle Medical Missions which brings healthcare to rural areas of Uganda that are vulnerable and underserved. So not only do you get an incredible, customized safari experience with Wild Excursions Uganda, you also help provide life-saving healthcare to those most in need. We also enjoyed the bush breakfast on our 2nd day and I highly recommend it! They provided a delicious meal in a beautiful setting on the banks of the Nile River. Uganda is filled with friendly, welcoming people and Franklin and his team do a great job of representing and sharing their country. I cannot wait to schedule my next trip with them!

Why It's Better Than Ever!
Coming from across the world, and not knowing exactly what to expect, this Safari tour far exceeded my expectations. From the tour guides, to the food, the vehicles we rode in, and just the overall experience itself was amazing. The tour guides were very outgoing and engaging. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire excursion with good communication skills, very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the land, animals, and the scenery seen. The food and vehicles provided were delicious and very comfortable. The guides did everything possible to get us as close up and personal with all animals so that we could get the best pictures one could ask for, all while still giving them their space and not endangering them in any way. I could go on and on about how great this Safari trip was, but words cannot describe it, as I would highly suggest you book right now and find out for yourself.

Trip of a lifetime!
I would definitely recommend this safari to everyone. The vehicles were clean, comfortable and had AC! The guide was knowledgeable and fun to talk to throughout the trip. We stayed at the Twiga Safari Lodge. I was pleasantly surprised at the accommodations. It was glamping, but with plug ins to charge your devices and a fan to keep you cool. I was also surprised by the awesome grotto style shower. Seriously...falling asleep to the sounds of hippos talking and grazing outside! I can't explain how cool that was. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. There was no shortage of delicious food either. I went on a 2 day safari that covered both time on the Nile river and the grassland. We saw so many animals. I cannot put into words the feeling of being that close to the animals in their natural habitat. It was amazing, and I got the best pictures that I will cherish forever. We even got to have a delicious breakfast out in the bush.
I will most definitely return again.

A fun, loving, enthusiastic guy who really cares about your experience!
From pick up to drop off, Wild Excursions ensures you have the most memorable experience possible. The vehicles are spotless, have cold A/C, and have pop-up tops so that you can be fully emersed in the safari. The lunch we had on the Nile excursion was tasty, and our tour guide Isaac was extremely informative. We got to see a diversity of animals from elephants to hippos, river buck, warthogs, multiple bird species and Nile crocodiles. The weather was amazing and the drinks were cold! Next we took a bush safari and saw everything from lions (within feet of our vehicle), giraffes, elephants, antelope, and much more. Our tour guide Husain was also very informative and had a love for Uganda that radiated throughout the tour. Our last stop of the trip was to visit the top of Murchison falls, where we enjoyed fresh pineapple and plenty of time to reflect and cool off in the mist of the most powerful waterfall in the world. This Safari was nothing short of amazing and everything I hoped it would be.

They were professional, knowledgable, and organized.
Had a wonderful experience on our Wild Excursions Safari. We traveled to Bugungu Wildlife reserve and had a private tour on the Nile River seeing multiple animals including elephants, hippos, water beasts, water buffalo, and nile crocodiles. We had a nice snack on the river at the base of Murchison Falls. We stayed at the Twiga Safari Lodge where you were "glamping" with tents with private bathrooms and showers attached. These were of great quality and you could hear the hippos outside your tent at night. The staff after dark were happy to escort you to the main lodge but you really did not need that as it was comfortable and nice in your tent. The next day we had a bush safari where we saw oh so many animals. More elephants, lions, giraffes, warthogs, and scores upon scores of antelopes. We had an absolutely beautiful catered brunch on the edge of the nile river near many animals set up for us when we got there via trucks. After this we ended up seeing Murchison Falls from the top on a hiking trail that was a site to behold. Especially since the water falls cause double rainbows as you look at them. This was a fantastic experience that should be experienced!

Everything you can hope for in a safari!
Wild Excursions Uganda was everything you can hope for in a safari excursion. Everything you can think you need they have already done. We took a boat tour up the Nile River seeing hippos, elephants, crocodiles and more. As we arrived to see Murchison Falls, our guide had set our drinks and snacks for us to enjoy as we took in our beautiful surroundings. The next morning, we headed out on a bush safari, our guide knew so much about the history of the park and knew exactly where to take us to get the best experience. We even had an amazing bush breakfast where we got up close and personal with warthogs. I cannot recommend them more to anyone wanting an amazing Safari experience.

WEU was accommodating, safe, professional, knowledgable, friendly, and most importantly had A/C.
WEU, and their owner/operator Franklin made our Uganda travels truly memorable. Vehicles were clean, in safe working order, comfortable, and most importantly had working A/C. And while all the tour guides were knowledgable, incredibly friendly, and funny, they were constantly vigilant about our safety. They had to be given the number of times they put us within reach of lions, crocodiles, etc... However, our group of 6 always felt watched over and safe. WEU tour guides struck the perfect balance of allowing us to be engrossed with what we saw, while never allowing a boring or awkward moment during the tour. They knew when to just sit there and let us to stand in awe of what we witnessed, never feeling rushed or hurried. From our private Nile river cruise, up close and personal encounters with the wildlife, and never-ending cooler of water, to our river-side exclusive brunch complete with omelette station, freshly cut local fruit, and our own personal warthog show, it couldn't have been more perfect. Well done WEU. I will definitely be back and when I do, it will only be with Franklin and his team at Wild Excursions Uganda.
