The best 18 Days Rwanda and Uganda
Amazing 18 days of Rwamda and Uganda
We used Amakula African Safari for an 18-day Uganda trip starting and ending in Entebbe, and overall the experience was very good. The itinerary was well structured and covered all the key wildlife and nature highlights: Murchison Falls National Park, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Kibale National Forest, and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. The planning allowed us to see a wide variety of animals and landscapes without feeling rushed. Game drives in Murchison Falls and Queen Elizabeth were rewarding, and the Nile River cruise was a standout experience. The major highlights of the trip were gorilla trekking in Bwindi and chimpanzee trekking in Kibale. Both experiences were exceptionally well coordinated, and Amakula African Safari handled permits, timings, and logistics smoothly, which made these once-in-a-lifetime activities stress-free. Our guide, Julius was a major strength of the trip. He was knowledgeable, calm, punctual, and made everything easy for us throughout the 15days. From long drives to park entries and daily schedules, he managed everything professionally and was always attentive to our needs. We chose the mid-range accommodation option. While some lodges were comfortable and well located, a few did not meet expectations in terms of quality and consistency. Based on this, we would recommend considering the luxury option if budget allows, as it would likely improve the overall comfort level significantly. We managed to spot all the big cats on this trip, which was amazing, with wildlife travel and gives us a strong reason to return. Overall, Amakula African Safari delivered a well-organized, reliable, and memorable Uganda and Rwanda experience, supported by an excellent guide and a strong itinerary. We would recommend them to anyone planning a first-time or comprehensive safari trip in Uganda. Great thanks to Simon the young CEO and team leader.
