Over the top good.
My wife and I returned recently from a 19 day birding safari with Avian Safaris. Our guide was owner Crammy Wanyama. This was literally the trip of a lifetime. The original purpose of our trip was birding, but Uganda offers so much more. Yes, the birding is spectacular, and we saw the iconic Shoebill, Green-breasted Pitta (performing its mating dance) as well as 514 additional bird species (not including our heard-only birds).
We also went Mountain Gorilla trekking and spent an hour sitting within a few feet of a gorilla family, including a playful youngster. We each hired porters for this trek who were very helpful pushing and pulling us up and down the 60 degree slopes of the Bwindi forest. We went chimpanzee trekking in Kibale and viewed lots of big game species including dozens of elephants in Queen Elizabeth and Murchison Falls National Parks. More than a dozen species of monkeys were seen.
The accommodations were very good with several nights at luxurious safari camps. We felt very safe during our entire stay in Uganda. Our transport was a comfortable and reliable Land Cruiser driven by Crammy.
In my opinion, Crammy is the ultimate birding guide. His knowledge of the birds in east Africa is exhaustive. Over the many long days spent with Crammy we were able to really appreciate the difference he made to our trip. Always positive, flexible, unflappable, and very intelligent. He attended to our every whim. He is also something of a nurturing figure to up-and-coming guides in Uganda. He made it a point to use local guides and porters at many of the birding locations on the tour. He wants to build up another generation of professional birding guides as well as to spread some wealth in the less advantaged areas found in much of Uganda.
I can strongly recommend using Crammy Wanyama of Avian Safaris for your birding tour in Uganda or anywhere else in east Africa.

The 3-day Amboseli tour was a fantastic experience, made even better by our knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, Gilbert. From the start, he ensured everything ran smoothly, sharing insights about the wildlife and local culture throughout the trip. The views of Mount Kilimanjaro were breathtaking, and we saw plenty of elephants, lions, and other wildlife during the game drives. Gilbert’s expertise and passion really brought the park to life. The accommodations were comfortable, and the visit to a Maasai village added a unique cultural touch. Overall, it was a well-organized and memorable safari.

Impressive Safari adventure - Highly Recommend! 😁
I recently returned from a 7 day safari in Kenya organized by Delight Rose's and I can't recommend them highly enough. From the moment we landed in Nairobi airport, everything was perfectly arranged until we fly back to our country.
Our guide, Joseph, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great eye for spotting wildlife. We saw the Big Five within the first few days and learned so much about the local culture and ecosystems.
The accommodations exceeded our expectations – clean, comfortable, and often in stunning locations. Meals were fresh and delicious, and the entire team was professional and welcoming.
What stood out most was the attention to detail and the personalized service provided the Lady Boss - Esther. She truly cared about making the experience special for each guest.
If you're considering a safari in Kenya, Desire Rose Safaris should be at the top of your list!

She was very friendly and inviting.
I had an amazing trip to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park organized by CPN Consultants Limited. From start to finish, Patience, the Head of Operations, made everything smooth and stress-free.
We traveled from Kampala via Mbarara and Kabale, enjoying scenic views and a stop at the Equator. Our lodge near the forest was cozy with stunning views, and the meals were fresh and delicious.
The highlight was, of course, gorilla trekking. After a hike through the dense forest, we came face-to-face with a gorilla family,an experience I’ll never forget. We also saw monkeys, colorful birds, and butterflies along the way.
CPN handled every detail perfectly transport, permits, and accommodation. I highly recommend them for anyone planning a Ugandan adventure.

Great! People are very good! Very thoughtful and friendly!The main driver is great!
The driver of Marsey Mara is very important. Otherwise, you will not find animals. Our driver is very reliable. He showed us lions and leopards, and all passed by our car. The animals are under the car.It was very close to the rest. Many cars didn't have such experience. It was very thoughtful and meticulous to help our tourists. As a whole, it was a magical experience.

The ultimate luxury safari experience in Kenya
This 6 day trip was one of the best trips of our lives. Starting at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, we saw the black rhinoceros and the famous white rhinoceros named Generals up close. Our guide was amazing - he knew every animal and the area so well, it was like showing his house. We are fascinated by the flocks of flamingos and different species of birds in Lake Nakuru. The last two days at Masai Mara were absolutely magical - seeing leopards, lions, elephants, and even a rare leopard. Accommodations were great, food was good, and service was excellent. This trip was beyond our expectations.
