Wonderful experience
We spent some time in Uganda volunteering and decided to treat ourselves to a two-day safari before leaving the country. We had a clear idea of what we wanted to experience: Murchison Falls National Park, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, and chimpanzee trekking. Other agencies had told us it wouldn’t be possible to fit everything into just two days, but CPN made it happen and organised the perfect itinerary to include everything we wanted to see!
They picked us up at 4 a.m. from a location quite far away, and they were absolutely punctual. Our first day was packed with incredible experiences: a three-hour boat cruise on the Nile, a visit to the Top of the Falls, and a couple of hours of game driving in the park. We saw so many animals! Unfortunately, we didn’t spot any lions or leopards, as you generally need to be in the park very early to have a better chance of seeing them. We had lunch at the Red Chilli Restaurant inside the park, then spent the night in Masindi.
The next morning, we arrived at Budongo Forest at 7 a.m. for an amazing chimpanzee trekking experience. Afterwards, we headed to Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary for a rhino trek, where we had the opportunity to see these wonderful animals up close. Both activities are accessible and don’t require any particular level of fitness. We had lunch at the sanctuary before CPN took us directly to the airport in time for our flight.
A special mention goes to Aaron, our guide, who was absolutely fantastic! He was attentive to all our needs, spoke excellent English, and was extremely polite and kind. He took lots of photos of us throughout the trip and always checked whether we were ready to move on after spending time admiring the animals. He made us feel comfortable and never rushed us, allowing us to enjoy every moment.
Another thing we really appreciated was the transparent payment process. We paid a 30% deposit a few weeks in advance and settled the remaining balance on the evening of the first day. Everything was clear and straightforward, which gave us great peace of mind.
We are incredibly happy we chose CPN. They managed to organise a packed but wonderful two-day safari that other agencies had told us was impossible. Everything was well organised, from the early morning pick-up to the final airport transfer.
We highly recommend CPN to anyone planning a safari in Uganda, especially if you have limited time but want to experience as much as possible. Thank you, Aaron and CPN, for making these two days so special and unforgettable!
Absolutely fantastic
What a fantastic safari. Our tour guide Sharif was very knowledgeable and was so helpful. He was brilliant in spotting animals on our safari game drives. Very accommodating would not hesitate to book a safari through this company.
Highly recommend.
A great and reliable tour operator with knowledgeable guides
We had a 6:30 am pickup at our hotel. After a short car ride we got to the shore where we took a wooden boat across the lake for 45 minutes or so to get to the Mabamba swamp where we transferred into a smaller canoe that allowed us to get into the swamp. We saw a female shoebill with a 1 month old chick. Quite extraordinary considering that they raise only one chick every 5 years. On the way out we took time to enjoy many other birds and flowers of the area.

Great communication
I went on two half day shoebill trekking tours. The company was flexible to my requests, timely/polite/informative communication in the leadup to the tours. I expressed my preferred trekking style and the information was conveyed to the guides and i was accommodated. Overall, very pleased with the experience.

Knowledgeable and well experienced in this field
It was at about 10:00am when I linked up with my tour guide Mercy. We navigated thru the busy downtown and finally got to the Bitenji of a west African origin.
Despite of being from the DRC Ugandan border, I had never heard of the Bitenji origin. I saw those made from DRC, Ghana,TZ, Nigeria and the different fashions that suits most! It was such an amazing experience hearing it from Mercy in Kampala...
The costs of designed bags were friendly! The Congolese market with their most loved cassava greens called "Sombe" and salted Fish as well smoked fish were all interesting to see in the heart of the City! This i personally enjoy so much!!
The service providers of different activities were friendly. Mercy has built a very nice rapport for the company. It's an experience worthy taking on when one finds few hrs in Kampala City.

CPN Consultants really made our trip to Uganda
CPN provided a number of excellent options of how we could make the most of our three days in Entebbe.
From the moment I originally contacted them to the end of our last day trip CPN
Consultants provided the reassurance and diligence in delivery we needed.
We had an informative and friendly guide in Pius who provided all the context and background that made our trip so colourful.
We left Uganda truly feeling we had more than scratched the surface of this wonderful verdant country.

Well done!
This was a great option for our first day in Entebbe. After a long flight we didn’t want to do too much. This excursion fits all the right boxes. Not to strenuous, amazing guide Patrick, field guides truly knew their material and boatsman safely handled the boats. We were able to see not only a very large Shoebill but also a juvenile. The pit stop at the equator sign finished a perfect day

Great experience!
Everything went really well. We had to get on multiple boats to reachh the area, since you have to enter with a small boat. We had a great view of the birds. I thought our guide was very knowledgeable and I definitely recomment their company.
