Good communication, activities and wonderful experience
Very good communication before and during the safari. I really enjoyed the two day trip to Murchison Falls Park with a wonderful guide. Everything is well-prepared and has been planned for, you don’t have to think about anything! I highly recommend it and wish to come back one day for a longer safari to discover other parks.

If you're wondering who to book your safari with, look no further! Abantubo Safaris is the best choi
I came to Uganda to volunteer and decided to take the opportunity to go on a safari. I am incredibly grateful for my experience with Abantubo Safaris. Deus is a wonderful guide, but an even better person. He is a true professional with a genuine calling; his main goal is for people to enjoy themselves, and he succeeds in sharing his passion. He is an excellent leader with a vast knowledge of animals I feel I learned so much on this trip with him. I highly recommend having him show you the different sounds animals make.
Deus is more than just a guide; he is a friend who genuinely cares about you. Meeting him was one of the highlights of a trip filled with wonderful experiences.
The worst part was definitely the end of the safari and having to say goodbye to Deus.
I would highly recomend abantubo safaris

Some people make a trip unforgettable.. Thank u, Deus and Abantubo Safaris! 💜
We had an incredible safari experience and couldn’t have been luckier with our guide. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and he made us feel safe throughout the entire trip!
A very special thank you to our guide, Deus—an absolute angel. He was incredibly kind, professional, and had extensive knowledge of the wildlife. He always made sure we had the best opportunities to see the animals. Thanks to him, we were able to see elephants, lions, giraffes, rhinos, crocodiles, hippos, and many more.
It wasn’t just a safari; it was an unforgettable adventure and one of the highlights of our trip to Uganda! Thank you, Deus, for giving us memories that will stay with us for a lifetime!

Review for Abantubo safaris
I had an excellent experience with this company in Uganda. From the very beginning, communication was quick and clear, and everything was organized exactly as promised. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and always made sure I was comfortable throughout the trip. The entire experience was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a reliable and well-organized tour in Uganda!

Incredible tour that exceeded any expectations by far!
I booked our 7 day Gorilla Trekking tour in Uganda with Abantubo through Safaribookings. Communication was very easy and they responded to all our concerns quickly.
We were a bit worried booking it all through the internet as you never know if it is a scam, especially considering pre-payment for the Gorilla licenses long before we would ever set foot in Uganda, but all these concerns were completely nullified as soon as we started our tour. We were picked up by our tour guide Deus and we've had a FANTASTIC week! We saw so many different animals, not to say about the highlights being the Gorilla and Chimpanzee trackings. Deus is very knowledgable about all species and we even managed to see the Big 5 while still always staying on the more conservative side and not immediately rushing to see big cats as soon as a sighting was communicated by other guides in the parks. The focus was not only on the animals but on the entire ecosystem and different vegetations in the parks.
So to sum it up, you CAN'T go wrong with Abantubo, they gave us an amazing experience with very comfortable and almost luxerious lodges despite us booking the cheapest option. I cannot recommend them enough and think you'd be missing out on a very personalized experience!

Deus with Abantubo is highly engaging and always walked the extra mile to fullfill our expectations
We came here for the "7-Day Adventure in the Pearl of
Africa" the highlights of the journey were the gorilla and the chimpanzee tracking. For both of them we entered the woods with guides, though the vegetation was completely different. The gorilla one being really dense.
Most of the remaining safaris were with our main tour guide Deus. He always asked for our wishes and adapted if necessary. We always felt very safe and taken care of. Thank you a lot Deus!

Great experience at Mabamba swamp
Two days before the scheduled trip we asked if we could move up the trip by one day. Thanks to their flexibility, it was no problem. We were picked up by our driver Jimmy who was very kind and attentive. He drove us to Dennis who brought us by boat over Lake Victoria to a smaller boat with Mohammed and Keta, our guide. He could tell us a lot about the different kind of birds we spotted. Fortunately, we had a great view of a Shoebill Stork with a chick. We sat there for while, taking in the view of the impressive bird and we could ask Keta anything about it. Afterwards, Dennis brought us back to Jimmy who brought us back to our hotel. All in all, a marvelous experience.

Wonderfull experience at the Mamaba Swaps and shoebill.
We had an amazing experience at the Mabamba Swamps! We even saw the Shoebill with a little chick spotted by our guide Keta. He was really kind and taught us a lot about the different breeds of birds. We enjoyed the boottrip and nature. We would definitely recommend!

Incredible trekking and safari experience!
My 4-day trip to Bwindi and Queen Elisabeth NP exceeded all expectations! Sam is a super kind and knowledgeable tour guide with vast safari experience best for unforgettable experiences. Even small changes to the itinerary or extra favors were easily accomodated. I would especially recommend the company for solo travelers, since the upcharge compared to a multi-person booking is relatively low (and more than worth it!)

Very serious and reliable company
We booked a 3 day tour to Murchison Falls, including chimpanzee tracking in Budongo on our last day (the reserve is located within Murchison Falls National Park).
Everything worked very well with the agency. The tour was very complete: we visited the Top of the Falls, went on a boat cruise along the Nile, did two day game drives, also had a night game drive and the chimps tracking.
We requested a low budget private tour with a camping option. They arranged for us to spend both nights at Red Chilli Camp in Murchison Falls. However, when we got into the car to start the trip, we were informed that we would actually be staying in a tented camp (an upgrade that we really appreciated). The camp was very nice and clean, and the food there was good.
Our guide, Allan, was incredible. He was always kind, respectful, and willing to accommodate all our requests. He is a great safari guide, always looking carefully for animals, and he has a real talent for finding leopards! :)
We felt very comfortable with Allan and with the entire Abantubo team. We highly recommend this agency; they are serious, professional, and reliable.
Thank you!!!
