Commendable effort for a memorable cultural, primate and birdwatching safari experience!
We had an all encompassing 16 days of cultural, primate and birdwatching safari across Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda. Our plan of the safari started off by searching and contacting a few of the tour agents that had good reviews from Safari Booking website. Some deciding factors on tour agent selection were budget, promptness in response and flexibility in itinerary modification to suit our travel plan. Mooi Adventures was ever willing to assist in making my trip come true. We thank them for the commendable effort they have provided us!
The safari highlights on tracking golden monkeys, chimpanzees and gorillas family were well coordinated into the tour with the specialised local park tour guides. We had successful close encounters with these primates. We also saw many other wild animals in the national parks of Uganda with our experienced driver cum guide. Our birdwatching experience was equally amazing with many aquatic bird species including the elusive shoebill storks in Mabamba swamp at Entebbe. The overall tour service provided in sighting as many animals as possible had met our expectation.
Lastly we would definitely recommend Mooi Adventures to anyone who is interested in a memorable primate safari experience in Rwanda and Uganda.

An Unforgettable Encounter: Tracking the Elusive Shoebill Stork and visit at Botanical Garden
Tracking the prehistoric, enigmatic shoebill stork had been at the top of my wildlife bucket list for years. Birders know how elusive and unpredictable these magnificent creatures can be in the dense wetlands, so heading out on the water, my expectations were tempered with cautious optimism. From start to finish, however, this excursion exceeded every imaginable hope.
While the shoebill sighting was the undisputed highlight, what truly elevated this excursion was our phenomenal guide, Shafic.
From our very first greeting, his passion for wildlife conservation and local ecology was infectious.
He didn't just spot wildlife; he interpreted it. His understanding of shoebill and other birds' behavior, nesting habits, and wetland botany added incredible depth to the excursion.
Throughout the trip, Shafic along with our other guide showed friendly demeanor, patience with amateur photographers, and genuine excitement — celebrating right alongside us when we spotted the stork and other birds — made the entire day feel like an adventure with a close friend.
Communication with Shafic and the office was a model one, both before, during and after the excursion day.
Tips for Future Travelers:
Book the early morning departure; the wetland is calm, lighting is gentle, and shoebills are most actively foraging before midday heat sets in.
Bring a telephoto lens or at least decent binoculars, a wide-brimmed hat, insect repellent, and a light windbreaker for the boat ride.
Verdict: An absolute must-do for nature lovers, photographers, and serious birders alike. A flawless, bucket-list adventure that I will cherish forever!

Very personable and knowledgeable
It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. The people are so kind, scenery so beautiful, and of course the opportunity to be able to observe these amazing animals in their home is indescribable!
To add to all this my tour guides were knowledgeable and professional, as well as being kind and personable!
I was a young female solo traveller and they made it so I never once felt unsafe!
They went out of their way to make sure I was getting the most out of my short visit and even rearranged the trip when I had flight delays that would’ve caused me to miss activities.
I learned so much and had such a great time with the staff from mooi adventures Uganda and cannot recommend them more!

Visiting Uganda to see gorillas during Easter was truly an unforgettable experience. Mooi perfectly met all my requirements. Although there was a vehicle issue along the way, it was resolved smoothly in the end. On that day, I was the only member of the gorilla group, and it took only 20 minutes to encounter the Mark family—an incredible stroke of luck. Many thanks to Mooi for arranging such a wonderful trip.

Amazing tour operators that exceeded our expectations in both service and standard!
We had the pleasure to travel to Uganda with Mooi Adventures in March this year. We went on a four day tour including both Schimpanzee and Gorilla trekking as well as Lake Bunyonyi, and it was the most amazing experience! Our guide Shafic made us feel very safe the whole journey and took great care of us. We were quite worried before the trip as we had heard that Uganda was unsafe and we were three young girls traveling alone, but Mooi was very helpful throughout the whole booking process and made us feel very comfortable.
We chose Mooi partly because of this (great service, fast and honest replies to our questions) and partly because of the price that was very competitive compared to other firms. The lodges were of great standard, much better than expected, and the hikes to the monkeys were absolutely incredible. We came much closer to the animals than we expected (but it never felt too much). There is a lot of time in the car as the distances were very long, but it was just great to look out of the window and see all of Uganda.
We would recommend Mooi and Shafic to anyone planning a similar trip! Truly the trip of a lifetime!

Amazing
I had an amazing experience with Mooi Tourism Company in Uganda. My trip to Rwenzori for hiking, chimpanzee tracking, and a game drive was perfectly organized from start to finish. The guides were professional and knowledgeable, and every activity was unforgettable. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a well-planned and authentic adventure!

Passionate local experts who make every day in East Africa feel like a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
Our honeymoon with Mooi Adventures was one of the best decisions we've ever made. From the very first exchange, communication was smooth, responsive and professional - they answered every question thoroughly, honestly and made the planning process genuinely enjoyable.
The 24-day itinerary across Uganda (18 days) and Rwanda (6 days) was masterfully put together: gorilla trekking in Bwindi, chimpanzee tracking, game drives in Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls, mountains hikes and volcanic landscapes in Rwanda. Each day felt purposeful, well-paced and full of wonder.
On the ground, our guide were exceptional: deeply knowledgeable, passionate about wildlife and conservation, and attentive to what we actually wanted from the experience. Transfers, border crossings and accommodation were all handled without a hitch. The lodges were well-selected, striking the right balance between immersion in nature and genuine comfort.
In terms of value for money, Mooi Adventures delivers a premium experience without the inflated price tag of larger operators. You feel the difference immediately : this is a team that cares about the quality of your trip, not just the transaction.
Reliable, warm, expertly organised. We would book with them again for our next East Africa adventure without a second thought. Highly recommended for anyone planning a serious safari or a special trip in this region.

Mooi makes it happen
Had a fabulous safari adventure with Mooi. Their extensive network in Uganda meant that they had access to the best guides, the best lodges, even with short notice changes to the itinerary. They were very flexible to accommodate the diverse wishes of the travel group, had a very informal and warm and approachable style, and made the whole 2-week trip like we were travelling with old friends! Highly recommended.
