Abantubo Safaris provided a well\-organised and enjoyable safari experience, with excellent guiding
We had an unforgettable seven-day safari in Uganda with Abantubo Safaris and couldn’t have asked for a better team.
A huge thank you to Nickson for creating such a well-planned itinerary and ensuring everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to relax and enjoy the adventure.
Our special thanks go to Jimmy, our driver and guide, who looked after us brilliantly throughout the entire trip. His driving was excellent — no small achievement on some of Uganda’s more adventurous roads — and his wildlife-spotting skills were exceptional. He went out of his way to make sure we saw the species we were most excited about.
Jimmy was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. For seven days, he was our driver, guide, wildlife expert and general keeper of two very happy tourists!
Every day incredible wildlife encounters brought something memorable. We had an amazing experience from beginning to end and would wholeheartedly recommend Abantubo Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Uganda. If you’re lucky enough to have Jimmy as your guide, you’ll be in excellent hands — his expertise, care and enthusiasm helped make our trip truly special.

Wonderful trip
Some initial communication hitches with head office but our guide Samuel was lovely, knowledgeable and very professional. He strived to ensure we had a smooth trip, nothing was too much trouble. The activities were incredible. We had a wonderful time.

We had a truly memorable safari with Abantubo
My adult daughter & I travelled through Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda on our 15 day Safari. We saw the most amazing landscapes and animals. Gorillas passed in front of us while we were trekking for golden monkeys, we saw a week old elephant baby surrounded by its mum and aunties, we saw three leopards and, amazingly, lions mating and so many more thrilling experiences We were exceptionally fortunate that our guides, William & Deus, were experienced, had a wealth of knowledge, were personable, helpful and knew the best way to find animals- close enough but safely. They gave us lots of fascinating information about their habitats, reproduction numbers and threats. We learnt so many new names. We actually can’t remember them all but it was just wonderful to see all the animals and birds. We opted for mid-range accommodation and it was more than comfortable & adequate, the food was delicious and plentiful. In some cases it was all really exceptional. The staff at the lodges were always helpful and friendly.
We had some hiccups with our plans (either airline or my issues!) Abantubo & our guides helped to organise us out of these situations. We appreciated the support on the road as Westerners travelling in a very new & different land.
It was just the best holiday with so many memories and unique experiences. 15 days was a good period of time, though we missed Africa in our guides when we had to leave. I highly recommend a Safari with a Abantubo.

The best tour I have ever done
I have travelled all over the world and this was the best tour I have ever been on. Jimmy was the best, anything I could think of he was like I know someone for that. The amount of wildlife and activities I did was next level. I’ll list off what I did in 7 days. Gorillas, pangolins, chimpanzees, rhinos, fishing for Nile perch, day/night hikes, day/night game drives, and so much more. I will be coming back here some day and will 100% request jimmy again!

A caring company that makes you feel like family
We had seven absolutely amazing days in Uganda with Abantubo Safaris, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Everything was made extra special by our incredible guide, Deus. He was so funny, knowledgeable and passionate about his country, making every single day an adventure filled with laughter, learning and unforgettable memories. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience!
A huge thank you also to Nick for welcoming us so warmly and always checking in to make sure everything was going well.
Abantubo Safaris made us feel safe, welcome and well taken care of throughout our entire trip - from start to finish. We got to experience the beauty of Uganda in the best possible way, and these seven days will always hold a special place in our hearts!

My tour operator was absolutely amazing, incredibly professional, friendly, and helpful.
We had the most amazing one-week safari experience in Uganda with Abantubo Safaris! Everything was well organised from start to finish, and the communication and service were excellent. We could simply relax and enjoy every moment, knowing that everything was taken care of.
Our guide, Deus, was absolutely the best! He was so friendly, funny, flexible, and knowledgeable, and we had so much fun together throughout the trip. He drove very safely, spoke excellent English, and always made sure we felt comfortable and had the best possible experience. He truly made our trip extra special. Nickson was also incredibly kind and helpful, and we really appreciated all his support.
Uganda is such an incredible country, and our trip was filled with unforgettable experiences and amazing highlights. Gorilla trekking was definitely the absolute highlight of our trip — an experience we will never forget!
We felt that everything was reliable, well organised, and great value for money. We never had to worry about the logistics and could just enjoy the beautiful landscapes, wildlife, and all the amazing experiences Uganda has to offer.
We cannot recommend Abantubo Safaris enough! If you are planning a safari in Uganda, look no further. We are so grateful for this incredible experience and would choose them again without hesitation. A huge thank you to Deus, Nickson, and the whole team for making our trip so special!

Could not recommend the trip (and Jimmy) more highly
Was picked up from the airport by Jimmy who’s been fantastic overall. Every place we moved to had sublime accommodation at a really reasonable price. They worked the tour around my days off and included everything I wanted to see in Uganda and more. Honestly could not recommend the tour more and once again have to mention how wonderful Jimmy was! Overall 10/10
