An experience of a lifetime in the Pearl of Africa
5/5

We spent the first week of February traveling around Uganda with each day bringing countless new sceneries and experiences. Our trip was excellently organized allowing us to cover a lot of ground over a period of 8 days, without having to skip a single meal. Every day, the breakfast, lunch and dinner were a pleasant experience with great food in between the beautiful sights. The staff in all the places we stayed at were very helpful and warm and the quality of the accommodations was excellent. We particularly enjoyed how they combined designs that blended with nature while having every facility you need.

I celebrated my 30th birthday while at Murchison Falls with a surprise birthday cake and singing that warmed my heart! Leaving my 20s was hard but entering the new decade in this setting is something I will never forget!

On top of everything, the communication with Wild Uganda worked seamlessly and they created an amazing plan for us that accommodated both wildlife experiences as well as personal requests. My boyfriend, Ricardo, lived in Uganda as a child and he wanted to visit some personal spots including his old school in Kampala and we were glad that it was possible to do this on top of all the other destinations and plans we had. Even our last day was filled with adventure with a boat excursion in search of the shoebill. All this, without feeling stressed or rushed at any moment.

One of the highlights in our tour was the Chimpanzee trekking with very competent guides and rangers that allowed us to see Chimpanzees both in the trees and on the ground. The guide also explained and educated us about the chimpanzees while we observed them. The rangers were very attentive and frequently alerted us where not to stand so that a fruit won΄t fall on your head as well as pointing out good photography opportunities. Being able to observe our closest relative was something very moving that I feel very fortunate to have experienced.

We are especially thankful to our guide Linus who was always on top of things when coordinating with the lodges and all the different parties involved. He gave us the feeling that we never had anything to worry about, any issue that arose during our travels was quickly solved.
His skills allowed us to see and identify many animals, especially at Murchison Falls, where our encounter with a leopard was spectacular. He was also a great font of knowledge and we learnt through him about Uganda’s culture, society, history, traditions and more. Most impressively, he could identify more birds than we knew what to do with. Ricardo made an incomplete list with many of the birds Linus pointed out.

All in all we want to thank Wild Uganda and Linus for making our trip an unforgettable experience! We are looking forward to be back to Uganda for more! Totally recommend Wild Uganda and Linus if you want to experience all the gems in the Pearl of Africa and beyond!

This was truly an unforgettable experience, all thanks to our wonderful host Chris, who tried very hard to be a true host to us. Uganda is truly the heart of Africa, and especially with such a host as Chris, it was a real pleasure for us to see all the beauties of this beautiful country.
