A Dream Journey Through Rwanda and Uganda
In June 2024, my partner and I embarked on an unforgettable journey through Rwanda and Uganda, meticulously planned and executed by Grassrootz. The trip was seamlessly divided into two parts: a week in Rwanda followed by two weeks in Uganda.
Planning and Preparation
From the outset, Sander from Grassrootz proved to be an invaluable asset. He took the time to understand our preferences and crafted an itinerary that perfectly balanced authenticity and comfort. His recommendations for hotels and lodges were spot-on, each offering a unique blend of local charm and modern amenities. This attention to detail ensured that every night’s stay was as memorable as the day’s adventures.
Exceptional Guide and Unmatched Experiences
Our driver and guide, Barnice, was nothing short of exceptional. His expertise in spotting wildlife during game drives was remarkable—we were thrilled to see the Big 5 and countless other animals. Barnice’s deep knowledge of his country’s wildlife and culture added a rich layer of insight to our journey. His warm, friendly demeanor made us feel welcome and safe throughout the trip.
Highlights and Daily Adventures
Every day brought new wonders, but certain highlights stand out:
- Trek to Dian Fossey's Tomb: A poignant and inspiring experience, connecting us to the legacy of one of the most influential primatologists.
- Gorilla Family in Bwindi: An awe-inspiring encounter with a gorilla family, a moment of profound connection with nature.
- Chimpanzee Tracking in Kibale: The thrill of tracking chimpanzees in their natural habitat was exhilarating and unforgettable.
- Murchison Falls: The sheer power and beauty of the falls left us speechless.
Beyond these standout moments, each day was filled with new animals and stunning landscapes. We also cherished the cultural experiences, especially our visits to the Batwa and Karamajong villages. These interactions provided a deeper understanding of the diverse cultures and traditions of the region.
Safety and Comfort
Throughout the journey, we felt completely safe, thanks to the meticulous planning and the expertise of Barnice. The balance of adventure and comfort was perfectly maintained, making it a truly worry-free experience.
Conclusion
Grassrootz, with Sander’s expert planning and Barnice’s exceptional guidance, turned our dream into reality. This trip was truly the adventure of a lifetime, a tapestry of unforgettable moments and discoveries. We left Rwanda and Uganda with hearts full of gratitude and memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a travel experience that combines authentic local experiences with unparalleled comfort and safety, Grassrootz is the agency to choose.

3 day safari tour
Our tour guide, Jack, is very nice, patient, professional, and knowledgeable of local flora and fauna. We learnt a lot from Jack. He knows almost all kinds of birds, trees and animals we found on the way. We feel very safe and enjoyable during 3 day safari tour. He knows exactly where and when to find animals and always have best spots for us to watch the wildlife.
Highly recommend Jack and the Axis Africa Safaris tour company. Definitely will book another tour with Jack and the company next time.

WORRY FREE ISSUES - would come back!
We had an INCREDIBLE experience with Long Way Expeditions! Our guide was Tuma (Mr. T) and HIGHLY recommended. He has a wildlife degree, has been completing safaris for over 18 years, and very knowledgeable in all the SAFE, friendly, and clean areas. We were able to see all animals that were on our list AND not have our Land Rover jeep breakdown. I recommend looking into an experienced driver during your safari as the roads are VERY steep, rocky, muddy, and edgy. We saw many other safari companies have their jeep break down due to poor vehicle maintenance, inexperienced drivers, and lack of knowledge in general; leaving those clients stranded. We have ZERO ISSUES and a FANTASTIC WORRY FREE experience. Would DEFINITELY COME BACK! Thanks Anne!

Amazing Personalized Family Safari with wonderful travel support
We booked with Tanzania Choice Safaris after looking thru multiple recommended safari companies from different sources. What set them apart for me during my research was a few things: 1st I loved that they are Tanzanian based so able to put the money spent into the hands of Tanzanian people, 2nd they offer a wide range of budget options as well as the option to add more cultural experiences, and finally so important from the moment I reached out to inquire with them, Brenda was 100% responsive in a timely manner and always gracious and helpful!
We had a wonderful experience, loved our guides (Noel and Elisante) and the places we visited.
From the moment we stepped out of the airport we had guides help navigate every step of the way. The staff at all of the lodges we stayed at were friendly and excellent. The Massai cultural tour was educational and great world view perspective. Our guides were knowledgeable, great at spotting animals and knowing where to take us, fun and great with kids. My kids are still talking about Noel and missing him now! The safari vehicles were well taken care of (we saw many others on the side of the road).
I would highly recommend Tanzania choice safaris based on budget friendliness with ability to splurge where you want (we loved the hot air balloon experience), their genuine customer service and A+ responsiveness throughout the entire process. It was truly a trip of a lifetime!

Extremely good experience and unforgettable
Our group of 6 friends had an amazing time with Tanzania Horizon Safaris. We hiked Kilimanjaro via the 6 day Marangu Route and felt incredibly safe and well-equipped. Our guides Anton, Jonas and Mussa were fantastic and always kept us motivated. The rented gear was excellent, and the trek was both fun and challenging. Afterward, we went on a 6 day private safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. We experienced a very tough hiking highlight as we also climbed Ol Doinyo Lengai near Lake Natron. The views from up there were phenomenal! The lodges were great, especially Lake Natron Camp, ThornTree Camp, and Kuhama Camp. Highly recommended!
I can’t say enough about Zambezi Expeditions! Highly recommended !
Our guide Frances took amazing care of us the whole trip. So professional and showed such an eye for detail. We learned so much from him because of the way he shared his knowledge with us. A trip of a lifetime that me and my family will remember forever! We now have a new saying “Think like Frances “ 😂. Thank you Zambezi Expeditions and thank you Frances ! Highly recommended 😉
