For a true African adventure I would definitely recommend Meanda Uganda.
Fabulous seven-night camp with Meanda Uganda. The “Northern Circuit” trip departed from Entebbe and included walking with Rhinos and then wilderness camping in Murchison Falls National Park observing Lion, Leopard, Water buffalo and Elephant then a visit to the famous Murchison Falls itself which was truly spectacular. Then it was up North to a two-night camp at Kidepo Valley National Park filled with game and with fabulous unrestricted views of mountains and plains under a vast sky, before heading back south via Pian Upe Wild Life Reserve, Sipi Falls at Mount Elgon and a final camp at the “source” of the Nile just north of Jinja. Each camp was carefully chosen by Nick, arranging Park Rangers as required for the truly wilderness camps and each evening Nick offered his signature G&Ts followed by dinner produced from his specialised unique safari vehicle incorporating fridge, freezer and cooker and for the wilderness camps – a hot shower facility. Well done and thank you Meanda Uganda! – I will be back to do the Southern Circuit!

They shared there passion and love for Uganda throughout the entire trip.
I had never been to Uganda or Africa for that matter and had no idea what to expect. I knew Nick previously and knew of his taste for adventure so I knew I would be in good hands. The trip started well in advance of the arrival date with discussions of what I would like to see and experience and what I wanted to get out of the trip. A few Skype calls and exchanges of information and the dates were set. I arrived and was picked up at the airport and directly to the guest house for the first evening, dinner at the best Irish bar in Entebbe and an early start the next morning with Nick as our guide in the 4x4. Our trip was conducted over 8 days, and started with Lake Mburo Natioanl park full of wild life on every turn. Next day was on to Bwindi Impenetrable Forrest passing through towns and villages, and a visit to the gorillas which was booked in advance for us. The following days rolled on with river and park safaris accessed by dirt roads, some right off the beaten track, amazing view points, and wonderful wildlife encounters. Our nights were spent either camping in luxurious roof tents, some opted for ground tents and some nights in lodges, mostly in National reserves so super safe and exciting. Overall I have to say Nick brings a wonderful insight to this amazing country, with his in depth knowledge of its history and its nature. It was more like a road trip with an old friend, discovering this wonderful place. We did a clockwise trip passing lake Edward and lake Albert, experiencing Muchinson Falls and wildlife park and cutting across to Ziwa to see the Rhino sanctuary and crossing the Nile at Jinja. There is so much to see an do and no better person to go on this adventure with than Nick and the Meanda Uganda Team. Our overlander vehicle was incredible well equipped, with a fridge and freezing, cooker and shower, so meals were a joy, and nothing better than enjoying a sundowner with ice and lemon in absolutely the middle of nowhere. Thank you again.
