What an experience!
This is the second time we have used Meanda Uganda for our visit to Africa. This time we travelled from Nairobi, through Tanzania and Malawi to finish in Zambia at Victoria Falls. As on our previous trip to Uganda Nick was an exceptional host. The planning before hand was easy and he managed to cover everything we wanted on our trip - we wanted flexibility to change where we visited along the way and Nick certainly needed to be flexible!
The accommodation - whether in his roof top tent or the lodges we stayed at - was very comfortable and clean. The food was just like eating at home as we planned the menus with Nick at the supermarket before we started our epic journey. Who would have thought you could cook a 3 course dinner with 2 gas burners?
All in all a wonderful trip and one that I highly recommend.

Absolutely wonderful what an amazing adventure.
We worked with Nick to develop our African adventure to celebrate my 60th birthday. Nick picked us up in Nairobi and we traversed Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia. Nick planned the trip meticulously and we took in wonderful sights such as Ngorongoro and Victoria falls and many parks on route. Nothing is too much for Nick and his amazing Toyota Hilux which is kitted out to a very high standard- hot water, gas cooker, hot shower and super comfortable icamper bed on top. We had some long days and time consuming border crossing which Nick managed with efficiency and humour. We ate like lords as we had stocked up in Nairobi before we departed. We BBQ often and cooked and prepared high quality food on route. This was our second trip with Nick as we had previously done 2 weeks in Uganda and visited most of the significant parks. If you want an African adventure Nick is your man he is knowledgeable, friendly, charismatic and charming. If you don’t know what you want let Nick advise you, you will not be disappointed. Finally and probably the best bit for a Yorkshireman, Nick is tremendous value for money you will get much more from him than elsewhere. Thanks again Nick and let’s start thinking about trip number 3 Ethiopia of Namibia!

Great experience, best truck, absolute reliable
We had a 5 day tour with Nick in his truck through Uganda with Chimp and Gorilla Trekking. Nick cared perfectly for us - from the first contact till the end of the tour. What we really appreciated was his reliability. The communication was clear, we had great communication before the tour, he was always quick replying and punctual. He made offers to adjust the tour to get the best experience for us.
The truck is in perfect condition (whats quite important in Uganda) and provides a very comfortable stay with everything you need. We loved it! Camping in Uganda means to be in great contact with the nature and animals and on the same time the truck provides such a comfortness.
Nick organised everything well, from permits for gorilla trekking to additional guides on safari to get the best spottings!
All in all we had a perfect stay in Uganda and only can recommend Meanda Uganda.

Just recently completed our 4 day Safari tour in Uganda. Nick was a fantastic guide who went far beyond our expectations.
We had plenty of amazing wildlife sightings. Nicks vehicle & equipment are top class & very comfortable.
This was an experience of a lifetime for my daughter and I, made all the more special by having Nick as our guide.

Magnificent Meanda
We spent 3 days in Sipi falls with Nick and he was both a great host and very organized right from the trip preparations to our return. Very well equipped truck and supplies that made our camping trip both enjoyable and worthwhile.

Extremely experienced - provided an excellent safari experience
I have done safaris in eight countries across Africa and this was by far the next itinerary and experience. It has a mix of everything. Waterfalls, boat trips, game drives (dawn, daytime, and at night), and walks through animal sanctuaries. We even got time for a drink in the pool. The camping experience was unforgettable. Nick has all the equipment imaginable. Nick and his team were fantastic. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

A Friendly, Fully Custom Uganda Adventure
We wanted to visit my sister, who worked in Uganda, and then see as much of the country as possible. Meanda Uganda gave us exactly that at a fair price.
Nick quickly put together a fantastic route that included Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, Murchison Falls, Kidepo Valley, Mount Elgon, and Jinja. When my sister’s workplace suddenly changed from Gulu to Mubende, he adjusted the pick-up location and dates without any problem.
From start to finish, the communication was great, and Nick always responded very quickly!
We travelled in an RV with a rooftop tent. It was very comfortable and felt safe. Some nights we camped inside national parks, and sometimes stayed in lodges. The RV’s fridge and freezer kept plenty of fresh food and cold drinks.
Nick is very friendly and has a good sense of humour. He makes you feel like you are travelling with a friend rather than being just a customer. Every day, he adapted the plan to our pace and to any new circumstances.
I highly recommend Meanda Uganda if you want a real, off-the-beaten-track Uganda trip done safely and comfortably!
