Very personal experience for uganda traveling
Amazing! We had an unforgettable 2 week safari with Abunda Discoveries, and everything was organized flawlessly. From the first enquiry to the final day, communication was excellent, the itinerary was well designed, and every detail was taken care of. Uganda completely exceeded our expectations, and every lodge we stayed at offered incredible wildlife—we saw an amazing variety of animals throughout the trip and a lot of them from lodges
Our guide, Abdul, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, professional, and an excellent driver, which made us feel safe and comfortable on Uganda's roads. He always went the extra mile to help with anything we needed, whether it was adjusting the itinerary when possible, finding the best places to buy souvenirs, or answering all of our questions. His wildlife spotting skills and friendly personality made every day even more enjoyable.
We highly recommend Abunda Discoveries to anyone planning a trip to Uganda. Their organization, attention to detail, and outstanding service made this a truly unforgettable adventure. If we ever return to Uganda, they will definitely be our first choice again.

AMAZING TRIP UGANDA
We came to Uganda hoping for an amazing wildlife trip, and we left with memories that will stay with us forever. Gorilla trekking, chimpanzee trekking, boat safaris, game drives, and the beautiful landscapes all exceeded our expectations. The whole journey was perfectly planned and ran smoothly from beginning to end.
Our guide, Abdul, deserves special recognition. He was always friendly, calm, and incredibly knowledgeable. You could tell he genuinely cared about giving us the best possible experience, whether that meant spotting wildlife, answering our endless questions, or making sure we were comfortable during the long drives.
If you're considering Uganda, don't hesitate to book with Abunda Discoveries. They are professional, trustworthy, and passionate about showing visitors the very best their country has to offer.

Great profesional and great expirience
We took a 14-day trip through Uganda with Abunda, and it was wonderful. Abdul was our guide—absolutely outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment. He is a true professional with extensive knowledge of the area. We visited Ziwa, Murchison, Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi, Mburo, and Mabamba Swamp. We went on day and night safaris, all tailored specifically to us. Highly recommended.

Very Educational
I visited Lake Mburo National Park with Abunda Discoveries during a short holiday from Nairobi. Since I was travelling alone, I wanted something simple and stress free, and that's exactly what I got. The park was beautiful, especially during the evening game drive. I saw zebras much closer than I expected and even got to enjoy a peaceful boat ride on the lake. Abdul was friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer questions without making the experience feel too formal. What I liked most was that the trip felt genuine and well organized. No rushing, no unnecessary stops, just a chance to enjoy Uganda at a comfortable pace. I would definitely use Abunda Discoveries again for another safari.

Excellent
I travelled from Mombasa to Uganda on my own and booked a 4-day trip to Kibale Forest through Abunda Discoveries. My main goal was to see chimpanzees in the wild, and the experience was better than I expected.
Abdul was easy to communicate with from the start and helped me plan everything around my travel dates. The chimp tracking was incredible, but I also enjoyed the drive through the countryside and learning more about Uganda from a local perspective. As a solo traveler, I was a little nervous at first, but I felt comfortable throughout the trip. Everything ran smoothly, and I appreciated how flexible the itinerary was. I came back to Kenya with great memories and some amazing photos. Highly recommended.

Such an amazing operator
My husband and I traveled to Uganda for our anniversary and chose Abunda Discoveries Uganda for a safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Our guide, Renatus, made the experience even better with his knowledge of wildlife and local culture. We saw elephants, buffaloes, hippos, and an incredible variety of birds. The Kazinga Channel boat cruise was one of our favorite activities. The tour was well organized, and we always felt safe and taken care of. We left Uganda with amazing memories and would definitely book with them again.

Well informed
As someone who enjoys independent travel, I was looking for a company that could provide a flexible and authentic experience. Abunda Discoveries Uganda exceeded my expectations. Edgar was an excellent guide,friendly, punctual, and always willing to answer questions. We visited Murchison Falls National Park, where I saw giraffes, elephants, and countless other animals. The falls themselves were spectacular. The trip felt personal rather than rushed, and I appreciated the attention to detail throughout the journey. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Uganda.

Incredible Uganda safari with abunda discoveries
I had a memorable trip with Abunda Discoveries Uganda visiting Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Queen Elizabeth National Park. The team was responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, making everything smooth from start to finish. The journey itself was beautiful,lush landscapes, vibrant communities, and amazing wildlife. Bwindi’s forest experience was unique, while Queen Elizabeth offered stunning savannah views and diverse animals. Everything was well-paced, and the long drives were made enjoyable with scenic stopovers. Abdul is an excellent guide ,very professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He made the trip comfortable and engaging, always sharing interesting insights and ensuring i had the best experience throughout. Uganda is truly a beautiful country, and Abunda Discoveries made me experience it in the best way. I’ll be happy to visit again. Highly recommended!

Abdul was amazing and very knowledgeable!
Our Uganda trekking organized through Abunda Discoveries Uganda was an extraordinary adventure from start to finish — seamlessly blending thrilling nature encounters with genuine relaxation and luxury. Their team and our guide, Abdul crafted a bespoke itinerary that perfectly matched our goals: gorilla trekking, immersive wildlife experiences, and restorative moments in beautiful Ugandan lodges.
Exceptional Planning & Personal Service:
From the initial consultation to arrival in Rwanda, their attention to detail was remarkable. Communication was responsive and clear, transfers were smooth, and every permit — including the coveted gorilla trekking permit — was handled efficiently. Their expertise meant we never had to worry about logistics, allowing us to focus on the experience itself.
Abdul picked us up from our hotel in Rwanda in the morning and our adventure began first with visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial and then we drove over the border to Uganda. He stopped along the way for us to take in the land and people along our journey to our first lodge.
Gorilla Trekking & Gorilla Leisure Lodge (Bwindi):
One of the standout highlights was staying at Gorilla Leisure Lodge, nestled in the Rushaga sector of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park — one of the best places on Earth for mountain gorilla encounters. The lodge’s location just minutes from the trekking start point made early morning treks convenient, and the rainforest views from our room were breathtaking.
The lodge itself strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm and thoughtful luxury. Spacious cottages faced lush forest valleys, the hospitality was warm and attentive, and we especially appreciated the peaceful evenings on the terrace after a day spent tracking gorillas through towering jungle.
Tabebuia Spa & Safari Resort (Fort Portal):
After days of adventure, stopping at Tabebuia Spa & Safari Resort brought a completely different but equally memorable experience. Set on the shores of Lake Nyabikere, this refined eco-retreat offered luxurious spa treatments and stunning lakeside views that helped us unwind and reset.
The spa at Tabebuia is especially memorable — the property was beautiful against a backdrop of calm water and forest — offering a restorative contrast to the energetic pace of travel and chimpanzee trekking. The service was polished and thoughtful, making for a truly rejuvenating stay and the staff went above and beyond for us.
Overall Impression:
Abunda delivered an unforgettable Uganda itinerary, expertly balancing thrilling wildlife encounters and luxury lodge experiences. The combination of gorilla trekking from Gorilla Leisure Lodge and the serene spa retreat at Tabebuia created a trip that was both adventurous and deeply restorative.
Highly recommended for anyone dreaming of exploring Uganda’s “Gentle Giants” while also indulging in thoughtful, well-curated hospitality.
